I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 131

Chapter 130

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care how the people in the capital complained. In short, Dongchang's achievements in urban management were outstanding. In just a few days, Dongchang fined more than [-] taels of silver.

According to past practice, the factory supervisor Wang Zhixin took 8000 taels of silver, which is 6000% of it, and punished thousands of households and punished hundreds of households. Sihu and others shared 6000% of it, which was [-] taels of silver. A total of [-] taels of silver were distributed among the chief servants, fan servants, and Lishi gangs.

This can be regarded as everyone's happiness.

"Godfather, we have committed public outrage this time, and those unscrupulous people want to sue our Dongchang?"

Wang Zhixin smiled lightly and said: "Okay, let them sue, we are doing business under the emperor's order this time, and the more they sue, doesn't it mean that we are capable of doing business?"

"Godfather is wise!"

Wang Zhixin sent the remaining 3 taels of silver to the Forbidden City. Looking at the smelted and recast silver, Emperor Chongzhen greatly appreciated Wang Zhixin's ability to work.

Seeing that he was making money by punishing people for defecating and urinating in the capital, Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, suddenly became anxious: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei can do this job!"

Wang Zhixin said with a smile: "Don't bother Commander Luo, our family can share the worries of the emperor!"

Wang Zhixin caused anger and resentment in the capital, and he was already prepared to be impeached by the officials. The harder the officials impeached him, it meant that he worked harder for the emperor.

But the problem is, Wang Zhixin waited and waited, and all the civil and military officials in the capital actually pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one impeached him.

At first, the Dongchang fanzi stopped the people who pee and pee on the street and fined them at the entrance of the alley, which indeed aroused the indignation of countless officials, but they found out that after Dongchang did this.The streets and alleys are actually much cleaner.

Although Wang Zhixin did not arrange trash cans, underground drainage ditches and other facilities like Cheng Shijie did in Jinzhou City, the problem is that once no one urinates and defecates at any time, the sanitation on the streets will be too clean.

Especially those officials who live in the outer city because they have no money. When they go to court, they get up early. Even though they have lanterns, if they are not careful, they will step on landmines. , and will fall into the muddy water, how embarrassing it is.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, and the head determines the thinking. Officials will not do things like defecate anywhere, because they want some face.

This made Wang Zhixin, who wanted to touch porcelain, very hurt. This group of beasts in clothes and clothes had actually changed their sex?

In fact, it is not that these officials have changed their gender, but that they have felt the benefits of a clean capital. For example, it has been raining in the capital for the past few days. Dare to lift the car curtain or car curtain.

Because it is too spicy for the eyes.

These days, the people don’t eat well, most of their stomachs lack oil and water, and the feces they pull out are all hard, floating and sinking in the sewage, and the taste...is absolutely sour.

These officials discovered that the group of eunuchs in the East Factory had finally done something.

As for those people whose families were ruined because of a piss or a poop...

They just ignored it.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhixin, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory, was very hurt. He wanted to touch porcelain, but he never thought that these officials were not fooled at all.

The person who also felt hurt was Huanglong who was in Lushun.

In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371), Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent two generals Ma Yun and Ye Wang to lead an army from Penglai to take a boat across the sea to land here and recover Liaodong. Because of the smooth sailing at sea, Shizikou was renamed Lushunkou.

In the first year of Apocalypse, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell to Jiannu one after another. Jinzhou and Lushun were occupied by Jiannu at the same time. In the third year of Apocalypse, Yuan Keli, governor of Denglai, sent troops to recover. Zhang Pan died due to lack of effective support and support, and fell into a heavy siege, and Lushun once again fell into the hands of Jiannu.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Liu Xingzuo, the deputy general of Liaonan who built slaves, rebelled against the Jin and returned to the Ming Dynasty. Mao Wenlong took the opportunity to regain Lushun. Now Lushun has been in the hands of the Dongjiang Army for more than four years.

But Song Xiance, the new director of the Liaodong Management Committee, first set fire to Lushun. The south and north cities of Lushun and the coastal islands of Lushun are now under the jurisdiction of the Dongjiang Army.

Although it is said that the Dongjiang Army is also under the jurisdiction of Cheng Shijie, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, the Dongjiang Army and Ning Haijun are separated by a layer after all.

Therefore, Song Xiance sent a team, headed by Ma Shilin, to request the Dongjiang army to withdraw from Lushun, and to hand over the management authority of Lushun's north and south cities and the coastal islands to the Liaodong Management Committee.

It is impossible for anyone to spit out the meat that anyone eats. The current Lushun has become the favorite of the Dongjiang Army. There is a strong neighbor of Ning Haijun in the north. Unless Jiannu can fly, it is impossible to arrive at it. Lushun, threaten Lushun.

Under such circumstances, Huanglong and the generals of the Dongjiang Army are unwilling to give up Lushun, but the problem is that Ma Shilin's attitude is very firm. If the Dongjiang Army agrees to give up Lushun, Ning Haijun will make up for it and be as close as a family with the Dongjiang Army. If you disagree, well water will not violate river water in the future.

Faced with Ning Haijun's decisive attitude, Huanglong had no choice but to compromise, but the lion opened his mouth to make up for it, asking for [-] shi of grain.

Ma Shilin did not counter-offer, and proposed that the food should be delivered after autumn. There are still nearly three months before the autumn harvest, and the Dongjiang Army can take advantage of this time to relocate.

In fact, as long as we wait for the autumn harvest, with the current grain output of more than 500 million mu of reclaimed wasteland in southern Liaoning, no matter how low it is, there will be more than [-] million shi of grain. What's more, southern Liaoning grows a lot of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

In this way, on the 14th day of the establishment of the management committee, on June [-]th in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Ninghai Navy Management Committee and the Dongjiang Army signed a cooperation agreement, and it will be planned to be released on August [-]th two months later. , officially delivered to Lushun.

Cheng Shijie looked at the result of the negotiation and was very satisfied.Not to mention 30 shi of grain, even [-] shi of grain, Cheng Shijie is willing to buy it. Lushun preserves a large number of virgin forests, and the value of the wood alone is more than [-] shi of grain.

Of course, Cheng Shijie is more concerned about Lushun's natural harbor and strategic position. Bringing Lushun under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Management Committee means that Liaodong has added more than 500 square kilometers of land, which is equivalent to the territory of a small county in the Central Plains.

Song Xiance, the newly appointed director of the management committee, made a drastic move and made a second move.

At the fourth special work meeting of the first session of the Liaodong Management Committee, Song Xiance said straight to the point: "Hello, fellow committee members, we have not had a heavy rain in southern Liaoning recently for 44 consecutive days. Yes, this commander had the foresight to lead all the military households in the field to actively dig irrigation wells and repair canals at the beginning of spring plowing. The irrigation of the farmland has been effectively guaranteed. Although the drought is severe, it does not have a big impact on our field work! Although the field work has affected It’s not big, but our management committee is facing a lot of problems.”

Speaking of which, it is all due to Cheng Shijie. As an engineering student, he likes to use numbers to express all problems.Song Xiance and his staff have already calculated all the reports. He read the reports and read them: "As of now, we have compiled a total of 750 five villages and 690 households in southern Liaoning, and 75 seven projects and 14 households. The institute consists of 730 towns and one Zhenhai City, with a total of 320 military households and engineering military households, 42 commercial households, and a total population of [-]. The houses have been completed Only slightly more than one-third of the military households built buildings, and there are still more than [-] civilian households without houses to live in!"

Cheng Shijie calmly listened to Song Xiance's report. Although he had already read the data, he was still a little excited. When he first arrived at the Zuoqian Office, there were only 480 households in the Weizuo Qianhu Office in Dengzhou, a total of 850 households. There are [-] seven people, less than two people per household on average.

Almost all military households are bachelors, and there is no way they are too poor to marry a wife.Now the total population of Southern Liaoning has exceeded 42. Of course, this counts only civilians, not soldiers. Including the more than 8000 soldiers of the Ning Navy, the military and civilian population of the entire Southern Liaoning has exceeded 47.

It has increased more than 30 times than before.With the increase of the population, the average number of households has never been less than two people, and now it has exceeded two people, nearly three people.

This also means that in the past half a year, many people have already become families. After the autumn, each household will have more food, and the people will feel safe. At that time, southern Liaoning will usher in a new era. Population explosion.

"But the problem is that Liaodong is developing rapidly. The major factories continue to expand and recruit workers on a large scale. The workers are far from being able to meet the demand!"

Song Xiance went on to say: "It is too slow to rely on the construction of hundreds of households to build common people's houses, and there are great limitations when building common people's houses by the project's hundred households. With a certain amount of savings, they are willing to build better houses. Some people come late, they have no savings in their hands, and they have not eaten a few meals when they are full. Under the circumstances, Song thought that we should change the current situation and contract out the current 190 projects responsible for building houses to individuals, and let individuals be responsible for the profit and loss! This can reduce the financial expenditure of our management committee, and can also Put all your energy into the development of industry!"

When Cheng Shijie saw Song Xiance's report, he had to admit that Song Xiance, a charlatan, was underestimated.

In fact, Cheng Shijie also knows that many people are not without talent, but without a platform to display their talents, just like Zhou Yandong, the original official of a hundred households, with Cheng Shijie's promotion, he gradually added burdens to Zhou Yandong and made him responsible. The production management of these multi-factories is responsible for the logistics and supply work of the Ning Navy.

As far as the current size of the Ning Navy is concerned, it will be at least a military-level unit in future generations. This logistics management talent, even if it is a professional undergraduate, will be quite difficult to face these tasks.But the problem is that Zhou Yandong seems to be very relaxed when dealing with these matters, and has always been able to handle them with ease.

It is certain that Zhou Yandong is an underestimated talent.

The same problem also happened to Chen Guodong, the former general commander of the Dongjiang Army. There were two to three hundred officers of this level in the Dongjiang Army. Cheng Shijie didn't expect that he had already thought of it, and he could use his method skillfully to solve some difficult problems.

It is also certain that Chen Guodong is a hidden talent.

Secondly, it is Shen Mingyu and Zhang Yu. Shen Mingyu is better. After all, he has been a temporary Qianhu official and has a father who is a Qianhu, but Zhang Yu is just a laborer on the pier...

In fact, everyone in Cheng Shijie's original team is growing rapidly.

"It has been more than half a year since the first batch of immigrants. They work hard every day and have accumulated a considerable amount of food and money!"

Song Xiance said: "In the words of Master Cheng Jinglue, they have survived the most difficult stage of food and clothing, and they have begun to pursue higher-level pursuits. They are willing to build bigger houses. At least, they can build two adobe houses by themselves, and they can also shelter from the wind and rain!"

Today's farmers are actually very similar to the farmers of later generations. Give them hoes and they will be the best farmers, give them tools and they will be the best workers, and give them weapons and they will be the best soldiers.

Nowadays, the technical threshold for building a house is quite low, and almost everyone can build it. Just like in "Hidden in the Dust and Smoke", Ma Youtie can take a sick child and build a small courtyard.

In fact, building a house cannot be forced, and it depends on the needs of each person.Relying on the bounty for killing the enemy, Liu Qingsong spent 57 taels of silver to build [-] Sanjin courtyards.

But the problem is that although 57 taels of silver is not too much, [-]% of the people in southern Liaoning can’t get it out. Most of the people are actually more like Luo Pinggui, who didn’t spend a penny. The three of you got up early and were greedy for night. It took a month During this time, five adobe houses were built, one for each of the three sons, one for Luo Pinggui himself, and one for the living room, which can also be regarded as the kitchen.

Until later, the father and the three worked, and the four of them could earn four buckets of grain every day. Soon the family couldn't put down enough grain, so they hurriedly built two more houses to serve as granaries.

Song Xiance's idea is to separate out the engineering [-] households responsible for building houses, because for now, the houses built by Ning Haijun's engineering [-] households are mainly provided to martyrs first, and then to military families. Now Ning Haijun has [-] houses. The houses of more than a thousand soldiers are almost completed, and the task of the hundred households of this project is also almost completed.

The reason for not providing housing to the immigrant people is that Ning Haijun's family background is too weak, and he cannot afford it. It is Song Xiance's goal to spend the least money and do the biggest things.

He has now received the news that Meng Jin crossed the Yellow River and broke its embankment.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded so much that two embankments broke, causing suffering in Huaibei and North China, and the canal was silted up. Therefore, Huaibei was full of yellow flooded areas, and the people suffered catastrophe. Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown was the place where the disaster was extremely serious.Under the auspices of Tuotuo, the imperial court began to manage the Yellow River, but all the funds allocated by the imperial court were corrupted by corrupt officials. The people not only had no wages for repairing the river, but also had no food to eat. Finally, a great uprising broke out, and the Yuan Dynasty perished.

In all fairness, the Ming Dynasty was very careful about the management of the Yellow River because it was warned by the Yellow River's embankment breach at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was mainly in the early and middle Ming Dynasty that the Yellow River was treated on a large scale twice. Liu Daxia began to build embankments in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the north bank of the Yellow River. Two protective embankments, inside and outside, are mainly located in Tongwaxiang. The construction of the embankment is to cut off the road going out of the Yellow River, so as to ensure that the Yellow River flows south along the vicinity of Kaifeng, and enters the Huaihe River from Bianshui to the sea.For more than [-] years since then, the Yellow River has followed this road, taking the Huaihe River into the sea, and it was relatively stable in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Although the Yellow River was relatively stable in the Ming Dynasty, there was an accident. This time, the embankment burst in Mengjindu, the reason is not clear, but it caused more than two million people to suffer!Now that the imperial court is in financial difficulties, it must be unable to provide money and food to relieve the disaster. Instead of letting the more than two million victims of the disaster wait to die, it is better to extend a helping hand in Liaonan.

Right now, the autumn harvest is less than two months before the victims arrive in southern Liaoning, and it will take more than a month at the earliest. At that time, these victims will be raised and let them help the autumn harvest.

With the base of 200 million disaster victims, Cheng Shijie has the confidence to develop industry, or expand the army and prepare for war.

Whether it is one-third or one-fifth, it will be of great help to southern Liaoning.

Cheng Shijie agreed with Song Xiance's establishment of the Immigration Bureau to absorb refugees. He was not afraid of spending money or money. The development of southern Liaoning cannot be separated from the population.

Now that the management committee has been established, Song Xiance, the director, has begun to perform his job duties and can develop business, which cannot do without the cooperation of the bank.

The bank reform is also imperative, because Yang Yunniang needs to attend the meeting of the management committee, and the bank meeting will be held only after Yang Yunniang gets out.

This is a small-scale meeting, and it is also Cheng Shijie's hot pot meeting.

The location is in the General Military Mansion of the Ninghai Navy, which is no longer called the General Military Mansion, but the Liaodong Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department Yamen. Although the name has changed, the others remain the same.

Yang Yunniang is now used to getting along with Cheng Shijie. In fact, Cheng Shijie has always regarded Yang Yunniang as an ordinary colleague, an ordinary female subordinate. Even if the two of them get along alone, they will never have any intimate behavior.

In this regard, Cheng Shijie is very vigilant. In later generations, he had a former colleague who was killed in this regard. Not only did he die in society, but he was also fired from his post. The other party had a better future than Cheng Shijie. He graduated from a bachelor's degree with a bright future. .

When Yang Yunniang was eating hot pot, she was sitting opposite Cheng Shijie, holding a bowl and chopsticks, skillfully cooking the mutton.Zheng Jian, Zheng Ji and Zheng Qi who met Cheng Shijie for the first time were very reserved.

While eating hot pot, Cheng Shijie said, "The business scope of the bank needs to be increased!"

"Increase by how much?"

"It's almost three times the current amount!"

Cheng Shijie said: "The salaries of the members of the management committee, the salaries of the factories, and the salaries of the officers and men of the Ning Navy, the number of account holders will definitely exceed 10!"

"One hundred thousand!"

Zheng Jian was surprised.

It is very remarkable for a bank to have one hundred thousand depositors.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you!"

Cheng Shijie apologized, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and bowed to Yang Yunniang.

Yang Yunniang was so frightened that she quickly ran away: "My lord, you are trying to kill Sha Nu..."

"You deserve it. This is when the coach was thinking about the problem. It's too simple. It's a decision made with a slap in the head!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Although you reminded me, I didn't listen. If it is wrong, it is wrong. If it is right, it is right. That dynamic password does not need to exist, but what needs to be considered is that the bank cannot randomly Depositors change their passwords, in order to prevent depositors from losing their passbooks and causing heavy losses, once depositors report the loss to the bank, the account freezing mechanism must be activated immediately!"

Yang Yunniang said: "What is the freezing mechanism?"

"It means that the holder of the passbook or his family members report the loss of the passbook to the bank, and the deposit or withdrawal of the money in the passbook will be stopped immediately. Immediately freeze, those who need to hold a passbook account need to produce written proof, need household registration and a letter of proof issued by the factory where they work, the [-] households in Tuntian, and the town!"

When Cheng Shijie said these words, Zheng Qi took a small brush and began to record quickly.

Cheng Shijie glanced at it subconsciously, and he found that Zheng Qi's teeny lowercase writing was as clear as print, and it was very rare that she could actually follow Cheng Shijie's speaking speed.

Sure enough, none of the women who dared to show their faces were given for nothing.

After Cheng Shijie introduced the freezing mechanism in detail, he began to introduce the branch opening work of the bank. Because there is no computer retrieval function, when the bank archives depositors, it needs to file according to the archives. Troop numbers are categorized and archived.

Just like you only need to see that this is Zuo Dusi, then when looking for this person's information, you only need to face the more than 1000 people in Zuo Dusi of the Ninghai Navy, the first general, then this data will be fixed at the first general [-] Multiplayer, and then each game, then the data of this game is even less.

The bank's database is like a search catalog in a library. If you want to find historical books, you can find historical books in the historical classification, and then you can find it in the classification of previous dynasties. In this way, the scope is much smaller.

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Our bank serves all the people in southern Liaoning. The accounts of the military households in the village are based on the town they are in. A town has only [-] households, and the first to tenth hundredth households have only [-] households. According to this retrieval method, the account information of a certain person can be found in the fastest way, and of course, the preparatory work will be a bit larger!"

Yang Yunniang thought about it: "The factory belongs to the classification of the factories, and the military households in the fields are classified according to the hundreds of households in each town, but what about the merchants? How to classify?"

"All merchant passbooks will be marked red, because merchants will deposit and withdraw funds more frequently!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "The same is based on the fixed-point initial household registration number. The merchant's household registration will enter their initial household registration address. For example, if a merchant initially sets up a store in a certain street in Jinzhou City, no matter how big his business is later, he will open several accounts. All are built in the location where the store is located, if the other party requests to change the input information, then charge money to change it!"

"Does that mean we need to build an archive every time we build a branch?"

Cheng Shijie shook his head: "In fact, there is no need. Our bank is divided into four levels: head office, branch, sub-branch, and branch office. Our passbooks are also divided into four levels: gold, silver, bronze, and ordinary. The annual turnover of gold accounts is greater than The business account with a large amount of 10 taels or more is a large-amount withdrawal from another place, and if it needs to be withdrawn from another place, we will mark it in gold on the passbook. For such account information, it is necessary to establish a sub-branch archives for the account information, that is, each branch office has such account information!"

By analogy, for silver accounts whose annual circulation is less than 10 taels but higher than 1 taels, the information entry level is deposited in each branch. When withdrawing, you need to make an appointment in advance, and you can go to the branch to transfer.

The bronze account is a red passbook, which means that the merchant account or the annual turnover is higher than 500 taels and less than 1 taels of silver, and the bank account information needs to be retrieved at the branch.

"Ordinary account means that when handling a passbook, we need to ask the passbook holder whether they need to apply for remote withdrawal authority or not. If not, this account will exist as a red account. If it is an ordinary one that does not require remote withdrawal Accounts and information files only need to be placed in the head office and branches!"

Cheng Shijie said seriously: "Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to travel to other places. Many people have never left the county seat in their entire lives. Therefore, most people don't need to activate the remote access function!"

When Cheng Shijie proposed this plan, Zheng Jian smiled wryly.

Cheng Shijie is an owner who knows how to operate a bank, and such an owner is not easy to fool.

In fact, Zheng Jian really didn't dare to fool Cheng Shijie, and the general boss would fool him, but if he fooled Cheng Shijie, it would be his own death.

Liaonan Bank also needs to be renamed, and it is more appropriate to change it to Liaodong Bank.

According to Cheng Shijie's plan, Liaodong Bank's headquarters is in Jinzhou, such as Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and Jinzhou. It needs to set up a branch. Setting up branches in various towns feels like an anti-aircraft gun to kill mosquitoes. The bank is currently expanding. It is necessary to establish six more branches in Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Lushun, Jinzhou, and Zhenhai City. The branches will not be opened for the time being because there is no need to open them.

As the saying goes, when the leader moves his mouth, the subordinates run away.

After Cheng Shijie's work arrangement for the Liaonan Bank, he considered another issue, that is, the minting currency market. It would definitely not work to print banknotes when it came up, because Daming has been ruined by the treasure banknotes, and ordinary people no longer care about the treasure banknotes. There is a little bit of trust.

For coin casting, Cheng Shijie is actually not unfamiliar with this aspect. The third-level subsidiary of Hangang Group produces hydraulic molding machines. This kind of thing is fully automatic and can be used for casting various alloy steel pads. Coins are also available.

But this thing is too heavy, and it consumes a lot of energy. Even if Cheng Shijie dismantled and moved these devices to Jinzhou bit by bit, he didn't have electricity to provide energy for these devices.

In desperation, the matter of the Ming Dynasty had to be resolved by the Ming Dynasty.
