Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really the Emperor of the World

!" "Yes, the abolition of cheap status and the abolition of conscription is simply a Ming Jun of the ages!"

The dialogue was somewhat repetitive.

At this moment, the capital is lit up with lights and firecrackers every day, all of which are praising the feat of the imperial court's abolition of lowly status and the abolition of forced labor.

"Your Highness, everyone is very fond of you.

Zhu Cihong and his entourage put on civilian clothes and walked on the street, and Qiu Zhizhong on the side looked at the elated people around him, and smiled sincerely.

Conscription is an extremely heavy burden for the common people, but whenever the government wants to build bridges and roads, build yamen, repair yamen, transport military rations, and repair river embankments, these ordinary people will be requisitioned and hired for free to work, and in this case, it will affect their work and farming, and over time it will naturally increase the burden.

Now that the conscription has been abolished, it will be much easier for them, and they will avoid the oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who will use the conscription to make profits.

Zhu Cihong walked on the streets of the capital, looking at the people around him with happy smiles on their faces, and he also felt very relieved in his heart, for several days in a row, the capital was like this, and firecrackers rang out every day, which showed how good a policy the abolition of forced labor was for them.

This represents the abolition of a thousand-year-old system, which is a kind of progress.

Penal Department.

Zhu Cihong walked into the lobby and sat on the main seat, looking at the group of officials standing below, and finally locked his eyes on Feng Ying.

Then he asked: "How about the candidate for the tax department, who do you choose?" "

Returning to His Royal Highness, after the discussion of the ministers and officials, and the officials of the household department, Meng Zhaoxiang, the squire of the criminal department, was finally selected to be in charge of the household tax department.

After Feng Ying finished speaking, he glanced at Meng Zhaoxiang beside him, and motioned to the other party to take the initiative to see it, showing a familiar face, don't look at the tax envoy is the same as a third-grade official, but he was transferred from the Criminal Department to the Household Department to be in charge of tax collection, that is undoubtedly a high promotion, and he will often approach His Royal Highness in the future, of course, he must come out at this moment to show his face and show his loyalty, there is a great benefit

!" "Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Justice, sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Weichen...... Fortunately, several ministers and ministers have taken a fancy to recommend them to be the tax envoys of the Ministry of Households, and they will do their best, be loyal and conscientious, and live up to the expectations of His Highness and the trust of the ministers!" Meng

Zhaoxiang saw Feng Ying's eyes, and immediately stood up and knelt down, looking very nervous, although he had seen His Highness in the Criminal Department before, but now it is the first time to face each other at close range, of course, he is very nervous.

"Taxation is the foundation of the country, you have served as a tax envoy in the past, the responsibility is heavy, the mission is lofty, do you know it in your heart?"

Zhu Cihong looked at the other party, feeling that this name was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that this person was also a martyr, Chongzhen was a martyr in the seventeenth year of the capital, and Meng Zhaoxiang's family committed suicide and martyrdom, which is not something ordinary people can do.

And he is capable of being able to defeat the squire of the criminal department, and his ability will not be bad, and the person needed by the tax department, the yamen, is the first to bear the brunt of a loyal word, and this person can be appointed.

"Taxation is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, the foundation of the country's prosperity, gathering wealth for the country, enforcing the law for the people, rejuvenating the country, and strengthening the country, it is the duty of the ministers, and the ministers must be effective to death!"

Meng Zhaoxiang heard His Royal Highness's question, and immediately replied excitedly.

"Qiu Zhizhong, go and pass on Gao Yi, the governor of Beijing.

Zhu Cihong said, and said: "The tax army will transfer 10,000 people from Beijing to the household department, in terms of tax collection, don't be soft on those who evade

taxes, and those who don't pay taxes are not within the protection of the Ming law, so it's not clear?" "I, the soldiers of the border of the Ming Dynasty, are fighting bloody battles every day to protect the family and defend the country, and in the end, those who enjoy peace and happiness do not pay taxes, isn't it ridiculous." In

this way, it also saves the cumbersome tax collection process and system of the local government, and can also prevent tax corruption, concentrate the national financial power in the household department, cut off the local right to transfer money and grain, and increase the control of the central government over the local government.

"The minister understands!" Meng

Zhaoxiang was shocked when he heard this, His Royal Highness's words, the meaning is obvious, only those who pay taxes will be protected by the Da Ming Law, on the contrary, those who do not pay taxes will not be within the scope of protection.

When Feng Ying heard His Highness's words, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, he heard the meaning a little different, and suddenly felt that His Highness's words had something to say, and he felt that he was talking about those privileged people, but he didn't dare to think about it.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister and the Dali Temple have discussed, law enforcement personnel, about 5,000 people should be enough, strengthen the popularization of the law of the Ming Dynasty, severely crack down on offenders, the criminal department has issued an order to all parts of the country, requiring the local yamen to actively arrest the fugitive criminals, eliminate bandits, and crack down on criminals.

Feng Ying saw that His Royal Highness was not talking about the affairs of the Tax Department, so he took the initiative to report the task issued by His Highness with great interest, and said: "The minister also formulated the rules for the officials of the Criminal Department to go back to various places to inspect the enthusiasm of the local government to fight crime.

"You will go to the Ministry of War to send an edict and assign Yu Linwei to the Criminal Department, which will be assigned as the Security Division, which will be responsible for arresting fugitives, bandits, and traitors to protect public order. "

Zhu Cihong plans to put these guards who eat and wait for death on weekdays, and all the guards are operational, and there are more than 2 million guards in the Ming Dynasty, but they have to recruit and train from new recruits every year, which shows how wasteful this guard is.

"The Minister's Order!" Feng

Ying knew in his heart that the fight against counterfeiting was still the first priority, and this Yu Lin Wei had to be trained for a period of time before it could be used, which was good for the Criminal Department, and it would supplement the personnel problem of the Criminal Department, and it could also strengthen the law enforcement power of the Criminal Department, and he would be a little weighty by His Royal Highness's side in the future.

"Subordinate Gao Yi see His Highness!" After

a while, Gao Yi walked in.

"The palace plans to transfer 10,000 people to the household department, do you have any recommendations?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Gao Yi and asked.

"Transfer the five military battalions to guerrilla Dong Qi, according to His Royal Highness's intentions, the infantry will be mainly trapped in the camp, and the others will all be dominated by the Shenji battalion and the cavalry of the 3,000 battalions, the infantry of the five military battalions will be reorganized, and 10,000 people will be transferred out, there is no problem."

Gao Yi thought for a while and decided to be transferred from the Fifth Military Camp.

"Okay, you go and pass the decree, and promote the guerrilla Dong Qi of the fifth military camp to the commander of the household tax army, and he is at the third level, so go and do it immediately.

Zhu Cihong said and looked at Meng Zhaoxiang again, and said, "You go with you, and then take Dong Qi to the household department to report."

"The minister takes the order!" With

that, Meng Zhaoxiang followed Gao Yi and left the Criminal Department.

The way after the Beijing camp is to focus on firearms troops and cavalry troops, and if it is pure infantry, it must be slowly reduced, and only the trapped camp will remain, so the five military battalions have been reorganized, and the five military battalions will be abolished in the future, and all the personnel will be assigned to the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion, and some of them will be selected into the trapped camp and the back army.

Zhu Cihong stood up and walked out of the criminal department, and a group of people sent it to the door before retreating at his signal.

The group walked on the street and walked in the direction of the Tai Hospital, followed by Zhang Huaibin and others silently, and then Sun Hao led three hundred Donggong Jinyi lieutenants to intersperse in the crowd.

"Qiu Zhizhong, you go to Qian Qianyi of the Ministry of Rites and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to see the palace in the Tai Hospital.

Zhu Cihong thought about it and planned to find the two of them to arrange something to do, planning to cut off the trade between the Mongolian ministries and the Ming Dynasty, block the external economic sources of Mongolia, and then negotiate.

There is a long queue at the entrance of the hospital, many people like to come to the hospital to see a doctor if they are a little unhappy, the first is novelty, I think, the dignified doctor, can see the people to see a doctor, how rare, the second hospital is a hospital of the imperial court, it is indeed guaranteed, and the price of seeing a doctor is also affordable, and the medicine sold is also very close to the people in price, the most important thing is that the doctor in this is indeed clever.

Zhu Cihong and the others came to the bottom of the steps at the entrance of the Tai Hospital, looked at the lively scene inside, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, it seems that the profit is good.

"Your Highness. At

the door, Fang Haiyang, who was wearing a red-robed official uniform, was looking around, and as soon as he saw His Highness coming, he immediately trotted down to greet him.

"Don't say anything.

Zhu Cihong smiled and walked into the hospital together.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw more than a dozen imperial doctors, who were sitting in the consultation, and each official imperial doctor was equipped with a new imperial doctor with a real Xi to do miscellaneous work and catch medicine, and only those Xi who were qualified to become official imperial doctors and enter the imperial court grade as an official.
