Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 310
The line problem looks simple on the surface, but when it comes to the decision-making and application layers, two different lines will show two completely different results.

One is to realize the superficial contractual fairness-the court has to collect taxes, and whoever pays more taxes will serve them. For example, in some wealthy areas on the side of the silly eagle, their guards are very responsible. The fire protection is very good, the public security is very good, the infrastructure is very complete, and the school education is very good. It is almost like heaven. Because people pay a lot of taxes, it is natural to enjoy better services.

And the other is inclusive fairness - the imperial court collects taxes and then uses the money to contribute to infrastructure, public security, medical care, education, national defense, etc. For those who have paid more taxes It's not very fair.

Also give a simpler example.

Why do some people keep clamoring to live with that thing?
Among these people, except for most of the brainless brains, some of the sluts who have received money, the small part that really hopes to coexist is because they don’t worry about the pressure after coexistence, because they have enough capital to deal with it Pressure, have the confidence to grab ventilators and hospital beds.

As for the life and death of other people, will they take it to heart?
Not will.

On the contrary, this is an opportunity for them to make more money, and they don't care how many people will die because they completely lie flat and coexist, as long as they are not the ones who die anyway.

However, the more fucked reality is that most people actually cannot get ventilators and hospital beds, such as the more than 100 million people who have died on the silly eagle.

In addition to this relatively obvious difference, the bigger difference is also reflected in the difference in disaster relief. For example, some troops will carry tools such as shovels to rescue disasters, while some troops have to be fully armed to suppress disasters.

Of course Zhu Jinsong would not choose the same path as the silly thief eagle, and the people of Ming Dynasty would not accept this path either.

Just when Zhu Jinsong was thinking about these messy things, Zeng Cheng went on to say: "With the increase in the number of various workshops in various places, more and more people have begun to gather in towns, and the existing cities ..."

Although Zeng Cheng didn't finish his words directly, Zhu Jinsong also knew in his heart that the existing cities had become an obstacle to the industrialization and urbanization of Ming Dynasty—except for the capital city, every other city had its own The characteristics of high walls and deep pools, the simple city wall directly divides the inside and outside of the city into two parts.

As for tearing down the city wall...

It wasn't until after thinking about it for a long time that Zhu Jinsong tapped on the table with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "For the city wall, let's take Tianjin as a pilot first, and the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry will work together to make a total plan for Tianjin Haosheng. fan."

But Zhu Erdan stood up and expressed his objection: "Brother Huang, if you want to find a place to experiment, you can't do it anywhere in the world? Why do you have to be Tianjin? After all, it is the gateway to Gyeonggi, how can Tianjin not have a city wall?"

Zeng Cheng also nodded and said in agreement: "Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness Qin Wang said is very true. Tianjin is an important town in Gyeonggi. Why don't you choose another place?"

Zhu Jinsong smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Are other places as close to the capital as Tianjin? Although Tianjin is an important place in the capital, the Beihai Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet each have a squadron stationed near the capital. In this army, there is also one stationed near Tianjin, and other places, do you still have such conditions?"

"What's more, today is different from the past. In previous wars, the moat and the city wall were the best lines of defense for a city. However, in today's war mode, the moat is somewhat useful, but the city wall is almost completely useless."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Zhu Erdan and Zeng Cheng were at a loss for words.

With so many troops under the Dudufu of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, after they were scattered to various places, some military towns usually stationed in one army-level establishment, except for the capital where there are three army establishments.

The four major fleets under the Dudufu of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty basically have naval bases scattered everywhere. Only Tianjin itself has a naval base, and nearby Liaodong and Shandong have one each.

If we simply look at it from the perspective of military strength, I am afraid that Tianjin is the strongest in the entire Ming Dynasty except for the capital. Even without the protection of the city wall, Tianjin can still be called impenetrable.

As for if Daming's military strength is off the chain...

As Zhu Jinsong said, if there is such a day, no matter how high the city wall of Tianjin is, and no matter how wide or deep the moat is, it will still be useless.

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other bigwigs nodded in agreement.

Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "As the so-called one thing does not bother the two masters, the repeated construction of the workshop, and other messy problems, all have a try in Tianjin, and the cabinet and the ministries will come out with a charter for the time being. Put Tianjin under the direct jurisdiction of the cabinet."

Deciding to use Tianjin City as a pilot is also an unacceptable choice for Zhu Jinsong and the Ming court.

In addition to military considerations, the most important point is that Tianjin is backed by the capital. Even if something goes wrong during the trial, Zhu Jinsong and the Ming court will have enough time to react. As for what kind of trouble it caused.

Instead, choose other places, but there is no such convenience.

Even so, for the current Da Ming, it is not just the first step towards a long life—the problems that Da Ming is facing and the problems to be solved are not just what it seems on the surface.

For example, the restructuring issue that has been tossing around before, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yushitai, and Dali Temple will all be dismantled, and now it can be considered to have seen some initial results-the officials and gentlemen of the entire Ming Dynasty are not so afraid of Jinyiwei now. , On the contrary, they began to fear the Yushitai Yamen and the Metropolitan Procuratorate Yamen.

However, fear does not mean that the officials of Daming will be honest.

Just like during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang made a scarecrow of a corrupt official by peeling the real grass, and then hung it in the lobby. The newly appointed official was quite scared at first, but he slowly looked at him. I got used to it, and then I got the courage to start greedy, and was turned into a scarecrow by Lao Zhu in the end.

Now these officials and lords in Daming are naturally a dick. They dare to be greedy regardless of what they should be greedy. The means of corruption are also more hidden, even Jin Yiwei, who has always been known for his dog nose, feels a headache.

If it weren't for these messy problems piled up in front of Zhu Jinsong, Zhu Jinsong wouldn't have to pick a place to do some experiments.
