Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 456 The Credit Will Always Be Big Brother's
"Your Majesty, Sapphire, he has launched troops against Dongcha and the Tai Khanate."

At the end of the fourth year in Kyushu, Chen Yunfu received the information that Lanyu had sent troops to Yilibali, and facing this information, Chen Yunfu was also very surprised.

Mengzhou is so poor, why is Lanyu still fighting?

In fact, Mengzhou's poverty can be regarded as Chen Yunfu's deliberate move. Although he allocated Monan and Hetao to Mengzhou, what are these places except that they look big?
How can it compare with Liaodong?

Liaodong has a complete set of basic production operations required for the operation of the country, such as agriculture, handicraft industry, weaving industry, and military industry. Monan Hetao has nothing, only the dozen or so satellite cities in Dongshengwei.

After the transfer of Hetao Monan to Mengzhou, it also burdened Mengzhou, a newly established regime, with a heavy national debt.

Therefore, Chen Yunfu knows how poor Mengzhou is.

He must make Mengzhou poor!

That's been the case for at least 30 years.

Because now Mengzhou's war capabilities are the strongest.

Don't look at the more than 200 million Han and Mongolian people under Lan Yu's hands, but these people are soldiers on horseback.

For example, when Dai Cishen and Sunan Yong were the commanders of Monan, the Han people living in the Hetao area of ​​Monan were very similar to the Mongols in their habits. Putting on armor, picking up a bow and arrow and mounting a horse in wartime is to control strings and sharpen.

Coupled with Sapphire, a king who is best at fighting raids and annihilation battles, Mengzhou's early card strength is very strong.

If Mengzhou has sufficient logistical support capabilities and potential for war mobilization, Chen Yunfu is also worried that Lanyu will lose his mind one day, so he will pick his head and wrestle with him.

Therefore, temporarily making Mengzhou impoverished is the best way to limit Sapphire's ambitions.

Yang Shiqi is the clearest about the doorway here, and he also supports Chen Yunfu's arrangement the most.

Responsible for the country.

"This time, the King of Mongolia sent troops to Chahetai. He heard that all the logistics and armaments were bought from Liaozhou, and he owed a large part of the debt on credit, saying that he would repay it after the war was over."

Chen Yunfu said at the time: "If you can't win, it's a fart. Yu Yifeng won't pay the debt. If you can't win, the money will be meat buns and dogs."

Yang Shiqi nodded with a suppressed smile: "Yes, what the king said is right. But this can't be blamed on Yu Yifeng and Liaozhou. After all, the king of Liao is in charge."

After a pause, Yang Shiqi looked at Chen Yunfu and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to write a letter to King Meng and stop it?"

"Stop him from doing something, let him go."

After thinking about it, Chen Yunfu still rejected Yang Shiqi's proposal: "If he wants to fight, let him fight."

"I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of?"

After hesitating for a while, Yang Shiqi said, "I'm afraid that King Meng will destroy Dongcha and Taihou, so he won't leave."

In Kyushu's plan, Yili is delineated as Lingzhou, if Lan Yu is really destroyed and Yili is reluctant to leave, then where should Chen Yunfu's face be put.

It has to be said that Yang Shiqi considered it properly, and Chen Yunfu frowned.

Immediately stretched out again, and said.

"Let's talk about this matter with Lan Yu sometime later. Let him finish the battle right now, otherwise, what will he use to pay off the debt?"

After thinking about it, Chen Yunfu decided to let Lan Yu finish the battle first, and he also knew that Lan Yu was in a hurry.

It is true that a penny stumps a hero.

See how anxious Sapphire, the indomitable hero, has become.

The military expenses for the war can only be obtained on credit from my nephew.

But then again, Lan Yu would rather shamelessly borrow from Chang Mao than to find herself. It seems that she is still angry with herself.

"Ugh."

Chen Yunfu shook his head, he didn't have much energy to care about Lan Yu's emotions right now.

Now he is busy investigating the abolition of the corvee system.

That's right, after more than ten years, Chen Yunfu once again brought up the idea of ​​abolishing the corvee system.

Back then, in the abolition of corvees and restoration of business, the abolition of corvees was not approved because the country's financial resources did not support it. Now more than ten years have passed, and the country's financial resources have long been different from the past. There is no objective resistance to the abolition of corvees.

What the imperial court is investigating now is the financial cost of various national construction projects in the central government after the abolition of corvees.

"Currently, the imperial court has several major projects, namely the diversion project of the Yellow River, the construction project of the Beijing Road in Yunguichuan, and the expansion project of Pingjin Port. For these three projects, the imperial court has requisitioned a total of 68 people.

After the abolition of the corvee system, it means that these 68 civilian workers need the imperial court to pay their wages, and this money was not included when the Ministry of Finance made the central budget for next year at the end of this year.

In other words, the imperial court did not prepare this money next year, 68 civilian husbands, according to the minimum wage standard that has been tried in Guangdong today, the daily wages of a civilian husband need [-] cash.

In this way, the daily expenditure of the imperial court is 7000 taels, which is as high as 1000 million taels a year.

This is only the cost of the three major projects in the central government. There are local constructions in the local area. Over the years, the imperial court has not asked for money. Once the corvee system is abolished, the local government will inevitably ask the imperial court for money. The imperial court must give the money. To give money is to prevent local corruption.

These things need to be considered in advance and fully prepared, otherwise, it is not the time to abolish the corvee system. "

Pang Chaoyun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Construction, made full preparations and talked freely at the meeting of the Military and Political Academy.

Chen Yunfu nodded, looked at Xia Yuanji and asked, "Yuanji, is there a lot of pressure on finances?"

The latter thought for a while, and then looked at the playbook in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the finances are not a big problem. Now the second batch of military expenses from Pushun has been sent over. I just arrived in Guangzhou and went to Hong Kong. When this batch of gold and silver is returned to the treasury, I can coordinate with the central bank. .

After a squeeze, tens of millions of taels can still be taken out, mainly because what Pang Butang said just now about how to prevent local corruption requires more attention. "

Chen Yunfu nodded, looked around at the people present and said, "It's already the end of the year, so I don't plan to delay this matter until next year.

Since there is no problem with finances, this matter will be decided today. As for the anti-corruption supervision mentioned by Lao Pang, let the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Metropolitan Procuratorate come up with a charter. "

"Let's vote."

A group of people looked at me and looked at you, and then they all chuckled and raised their hands.

This matter is a clear and benevolent government. As long as the central government does not work hard, who will object.

Therefore, it was unanimously approved.

When everyone was cheering for the abolition of the thousands of years of corvee system, Chen Yunfu said to Yang Rong, the secretary of the meeting.

"Remember, the drafting date of this policy is the 23rd year of Hongwu, and the finalization date is the first year of Yongle. After a long period of research, it was officially promulgated this year.

The person who drafted the policy of abolishing corvees: Emperor Taizong Wen. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Chen Yunfu once said that the credit for abolishing corvee will always belong to Big Brother!

Let future generations remember Big Brother forever.
