The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 171
Some things don't have to be explained clearly.

Few of these gentry in the late Ming Dynasty really understood the economy.

Basically, they are still in the stage of ignorance. Even if Sun Jie explained the content clearly, they might not be able to understand it.

But that doesn't mean they don't know what a bank is.

In fact, Shanxi merchants at the end of the Ming Dynasty had already opened money houses all over the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also many banks in the south.

When Sun Jie copied Shanxi merchants that time, he almost wiped them all out, and copied all the banks of Shanxi merchants.

In fact, Qianzhuang also has a great role, which is to prevent corruption.

After the establishment of the bank, the salaries of officials and the salaries of soldiers will be distributed through the bank.

How much money does each person have every month, and how much money will be distributed by the bank.

It saves a lot of cumbersome procedures and greatly reduces the soil of corruption.

As far as the army is concerned, it can further reduce the superior's control over the soldiers.

For three full days, Sun Jie called these people over almost whenever he had time.

The speed of these people's work is not bad, and they almost came up with a specific charter.

The Shaanxi Bank cannot rush this matter, and it is useless to rush before the coin-making machines are in place.

Economic reform does not happen overnight, it can only be implemented slowly.

The key is to integrate Shaanxi first.

This is Sun Jie's basic plan. If he wants to reform the world, he must first start with Shaanxi.

A stable and sustainable Shaanxi is extremely important to the current Sun Jie.

The day is getting colder and the wind is getting stronger every day.

Winter was coming soon, and Sun Jie also sent out all the troops under his command.

Taking Xi'an Mansion as the center, it spreads around.

The surrounding prefectures and counties, after seeing Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, almost surrendered in anticipation.

Of course, there are also those who are stubborn, and what awaits them is fierce shelling.

Most people are more sensible, and now Shaanxi has been isolated from the imperial court, even if they resist, it is meaningless.

One city after another was captured by Sun Jie.

Sun Jie's strength expanded again.

There were also some loyalists of the Ming Dynasty who committed suicide when the city was broken.

This is just a mantis acting like a cart, overthinking his capabilities.

Shaanxi has been ravaged by thieves for so many years, how can there be any strength to resist Sun Jie?

Coupled with Sun Jie's reputation, Qin Shang's efforts to promote it for so many years have spread his reputation throughout Shaanxi.

Even if the officials in the city want to resist, the people in the city may not agree.

Not to mention, almost all of these prefectures and counties in Shaanxi have industries of Qin merchants.

Just before the Chinese New Year, the whole of Shaanxi was finally captured by Sun Jie.

During the expansion, Sun Jie was not idle.

He took out the modern reserve service system and conducted conscription.

The main targets are the military households in the guards in Shaanxi, as well as the young and middle-aged.

They are mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Xi'an Prefecture.

After all, Xi'an Prefecture is the largest city in Shaanxi and even the entire Northwest region.

Coupled with Sun Jie's governance over the past few years, the quality of the population is much better than other places.

A total of [-] troops were recruited this time.

All enlisted soldiers receive one tael of silver per person per month. In addition, enlisted soldiers' homes can receive additional food every month.

As the saying goes, if one person joins the army, the whole family will not be hungry.

Compared with the regular army, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

The regular soldiers received three taels of silver per person per month, and the additional food they received was one grade higher than that of the reserve soldiers.

In addition, as long as the regular army enlists in the army, they will get An Jiatian.

If you make contributions in the future, there will be military achievements.

These fields are things that can be passed down to the family. In the eyes of the people of this era, they are treasures that are priceless.

There will also be corresponding reductions and exemptions for the taxes paid on the family land.

At the beginning, Sun Jie had no money in his hands, and the treatment of the army was not very good at that time.

Now that Sun Jie has money in his hands, it will naturally increase the soldiers' income.

Although the reserve service is not as good as the regular army, it is much better than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

When Sun Jie's conscription notice was posted, the entire Xi'an mansion was boiling.

When one person enlists in the army, the whole family will not be hungry.

Especially those refugees who just came over, they squeezed their heads even more.

Sun Jie didn't need to personally watch over the matter of conscription, it had already become a custom, and he could just follow the rules and regulations formulated before.

Before Sun Jie's army took the whole of Shaanxi, the soldiers had already been recruited.

A total of 6 people, no more, no less.

These people will be filled with [-] well-trained and capable soldiers into the regular army.

The remaining ones will be stationed in major prefectures and counties in Shaanxi to maintain local stability.

The days passed silently like this, and the new year is coming in a blink of an eye.

Amidst bursts of firecrackers, the 12th year of Chongzhen gradually drifted away, and the 13th year of Chongzhen stepped onto the stage of history.

After the Chinese New Year, Sun Jie went back to Hyundai.

I looked at my parents in my hometown, and bought some necessary goods by the way.

Fan Xiaopeng also made the coin minting machine, and also made some steam engines according to Sun Jie's instructions.

After getting everything in place, Sun Jie brought these things to the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the machine was in place, Sun Jie mobilized manpower to study and set up Daqin Bank at the same time.

This department is the lifeblood and the money bag, and it must be controlled by a confidant.

So, Sun Jie handed over this job to the old man, Sun Chuwen, who was directly responsible to Sun Jie.

After a while, Sun Jie will marry Sun Ling.

Sun Chuwen has been following Sun Jie for a long time, and he is almost helping each other. It would be best to entrust this department to him.

In the past, Sun Jie asked people to build a factory for the machine.

The construction has been completed long ago, and the machine was loaded into the workshop as soon as it was in place.

In the northeast corner of Xi'an Fucheng, there is a factory building separated by tall walls.

Here is the Mint.

In a mint workshop, amidst the rumbling sound, Sun Jie stood in front of a hydraulic hammer head driven by a steam engine, and put a silver plate in his hand into the stamping mold.

Then, as soon as he stepped on the control lever under his feet, the huge metal hammer head slammed down.

Under the horrified eyes of everyone, a round silver coin fell from the through hole of the mold and fell into the bamboo basket below.

Sun Jie turned off the machine and picked up the silver coin.

This silver coin is shining with silver, with a capitalized "one" in the middle of the obverse, and a small handwriting "one yuan silver coin is worth one silver tael" next to it.

On the back is a delicate chrysanthemum, which is very similar to a modern one-dollar steel coin.

The people standing beside looked at the silver coin in Sun Jie's hand, their eyes widened and their jaws almost fell to the ground.

"That's enough? It's too outrageous!"

Sun Chuanting looked at the silver coin in Sun Jie's hand and was beyond shocked.

Sun Chuwen, Yang Lin, and Wang Bi who were beside them were already used to it, and they only expressed a little surprise, without much emotional fluctuation.

Sun Jie blew the silver coin.

The buzzing sound could not dissipate for a long time.

Sun Jie raised the silver coin in his hand high, and said to everyone: "This silver coin contains seven silver coins, two copper coins, and one lead coin, which is equivalent to one tael of market silver.

Through the means of silver coins, the silver on the market was slowly gathered back, and finally all of them were minted into this kind of silver coins. "

After speaking, he handed the silver coin to Sun Chuwen.

Sun Chuwen looked at the silver coin repeatedly, with a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were piled high.

I have to say that this silver coin is really beautiful, generous and exquisite.

"You guys come and watch, and I'll show you a demonstration. I'll give you three days. Within three days, those who learn will be rewarded, and those who can't learn will be punished!"

Sun Jie looked at the craftsmen behind Sun Chuwen and the others.

This is a specially selected literate craftsman, young and active, and clean.

It's still the same as learning to drive, first teach a few flexible minds, and then let them teach other craftsmen.

These craftsmen hurriedly approached Sun Jie without any hesitation.

Sun Jie patiently explained the whole set of equipment to them.

From the steam engine equipment to the minting equipment, Sun Jie explained everything involved in it clearly.

He even wrote a manual, referring to the manual, explaining the various components and operating procedures of these machines to them one by one.

It is difficult to explain all these things clearly.

If you only talk about the operating specifications and sequence, it won't take long.

For the next three or four days, Sun Jie was at the mint, giving lessons to these craftsmen.

Hard work pays off, and under Sun Jie's hard guidance, these craftsmen finally mastered the basic operations.

Outside the factory, there will be soldiers patrolling, and there are dormitories and canteens built inside. If there is no special event, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.

If you dare to break through, you will be killed directly.

The food for the workers inside is provided by internal personnel every day.

To the best of your ability, keep the mint safe.

The economy is the lifeblood of the country, and silver coins are an important means used by Sun Jie to revive the economy, so there must be no mistakes.

Spring has not officially arrived yet, but the frozen soil is gradually beginning to melt.

Sun Jie stood on the city wall of Xi'an Fucheng, watching the bustling scene in the city, a smile slipped out from under his beard.

At the beginning of the year, Sun Jie proposed three major transformations for Xi'an Fucheng.

Transform urban roads, transform the living environment, and transform urban functions.

Renovate the city in batches, mainly divided into administrative areas, residential areas and commercial areas.

Xi'an Fucheng is actually not big, and it can only accommodate these areas.

As for areas such as industrial areas, they can only be placed outside the city.

The historic houses in the city will be protected.

For example, Prince Qin's Mansion, which has already been emptied, and those county prince's mansions under King Qin's Mansion.

Those county kings in the prefectural city of Xi'an were also taken care of by Sun Jie before the Chinese New Year.

Those who obey will stay, those who resist will either die or become laborers.

Of course, all their properties were confiscated by Sun Jie.

In the east city of Xi'an Prefecture, there are a lot of rich and powerful people, so it is very luxurious.

Here, except for the improvement of roads and some buildings, the rest of the places are kept in their original appearance.

Looking outside the city again, not far away is the farmland connected by rice paddies.

The people gathered before were farming inside.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

But some people don't have eyes.

Wang Bi climbed up the city wall, holding the telegram from Fengxiang Mansion in his hand, with an anxious expression on his face.

He hurriedly ran to Sun Jie, and before he could stand still, he said three times: "My lord, something happened!"

Sun Jie withdrew his gaze from outside the city, looked at Wang Bi, his face gradually became serious, and hurriedly took the telegram.

"Fengxiang mansion gentry Zhou Helu, Li Chengwei and Zhao Yunjing gathered tenants, encouraged local people, united with bandits around Fengxiang mansion, set up a banner with Ming characters, attacked and killed people in Qingzhang land outside the city, and rushed into the government office..."

The content of the telegram was very long, and Sun Jie's face was livid.

After the beginning of spring, Sun Jie issued three political and economic policies.

One: Immediately, abolish low-cost household registrations such as humble registration and tenant household registration, and all people will be equal and free in the future.

Second: All gentry land in the territory will be remeasured and cleared. Except for the gentry's own land, all the donated land will be distributed to the tenants who cultivate the land.If the land that came from the plunder is taken by chance, it will be directly deprived and distributed to the landless people.

Third: For all the people in the territory, all government orders are subject to the Xi'an government.

The first two of these three decrees are simply killing people.

These gentlemen have enjoyed the privileges for so many years, and Sun Jie's order has wiped out all their "hard work" accumulated wealth, how can they bear it?

The three gentry of Fengxiang Mansion have been entrenched there for many years, and more than [-]% of the land in the city is their family's property.

How could they tolerate Sun Jie depriving them of their fields with a single order?

Therefore, they took advantage of the fact that the personnel Sun Jie sent out to clear Zhang's land were not paying attention, and took advantage of their familiarity, gathered bandits and hooligans, and attacked and killed the three people who cleared Zhang's land on a ramp.

Later, he shrank back to the city, attacked the government office, and attacked the public officials sent by the Senate.

There are only 50 reserve soldiers in Fengxiang Mansion, and they have just been stationed not long ago.

The equipment of the reserve army is far inferior to that of the regular army. In addition, the three gentry agitated the people in the city and abruptly pulled tens of thousands of people out. The momentum was astounding.

Relying on the large number of people, the Yamen was finally breached.

The public officials sent by Sun Jie suffered heavy casualties.

In fact, since Sun Jie began to implement the New Deal, gentry everywhere have complained.

Many people also have all kinds of little things in their hearts, but they are not as fierce as the troubles in Fengxiang Mansion.

No wonder, Sun Jie wanted to cut off their livelihood and their jobs, how could they get what they wanted?
"Aren't these people afraid that I will reproduce the scene of Jiangnan again?"

Sun Jie sneered twice, showing a murderous look.

Since you don't want to live, then do as you wish.

These gentlemen have never had a long memory.

They only think about the one-acre three-point land in their hands, and if anyone gets infected, they will do their best.

This has nothing to do with the north and the south. Whether it is Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River or Fengxiang in the northwest, most of the gentry look the same.

"My lord, what should we do now?!" Wang Bi's face was full of anxiety.

"This matter must be dealt with by lightning means, let them know the price of disobeying orders." Sun Jie's voice became a little colder.

Taking the Wang pen, he hurriedly walked down the city wall.

Not long after, they came to the governor's office.

This place was tidied up by Sun Jie and temporarily used for business affairs.
