My life skills in Daming Liver

(The title is Nanjing Qianhuang, sorry, my head is dizzy this morning.)

The weather is getting colder, and the winter of Jiajing 41 is even colder than last year.

Su Ze didn't know if it was the influence of the Little Ice Age, but this year Zhejiang has already started to snow, and even the northern part of Fujian has ushered in the first snow.

Because Fuzhou is close to the sea and relatively south, it hasn't started to snow this year, but Su Ze has already ordered disaster prevention preparations for the area under his jurisdiction with the order of the Governor's Mansion.

"Governor Governor, it's your turn to make a move." Xu Wei, who was sitting across from the chessboard, reminded.

Only then did Su Ze pick up the chess piece, only seeing his big dragon that was about to bite off Xu Wei, he made a decisive move, completely blocking Xu Wei, the big dragon's way to break through.

"No more, no more!"

Xu Wei's chess skills were not very good, and he was always pulled over by Su Ze to play chess.

But every time Su Ze played chess, his mind was not on the chessboard, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Su Ze started discussing the current situation with Xu Wei, taking advantage of the skill effect of [Vulgar hand: Ordinary hand only strives for the first, no old score in mind, temporarily gains intelligence +6 when playing games].

"What's going on in Guangzhou Mansion?"

Talking about the business, Xu Wei resumed his serious expression and said: "The news from Tan Gong said that the case of Bai Zhifu and Pan Xun has been taken care of by our army, and now the fifteen counties of Guangzhou have fallen into our army's control."

Su Ze spread out the map directly in the chess room. The area under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty was very large. It is almost the areas of Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Hong Kong, and Macau today, basically covering the essence of the Pearl River Delta Plain.

Controlling Guangzhou Mansion will own some of the best piers in the entire South China Sea, and today's Pearl River Delta Plain is also an important grain-producing area, and the entire Guangzhou Mansion is very rich.

Today, the Chaozhou Prefecture on the border with Fujian, that is, the Chaoshan area of ​​later generations, is already under the control of Su Ze. In addition to the Guangzhou Prefecture, Su Ze can send troops to capture other provinces in Guangdong at any time.

However, Su Ze still asked Qi's army, which is now the third brigade of the Southeast Allied Army, to stop.

Now the Southeast Allied Forces has organized four brigades. The first brigade is led by Lin Mojun and stationed in Shanghai, and the second brigade is led by Lin Liangjun and is now stationed in Jiujiang.

The third brigade is the third brigade led by Yu Zigao, stationed in Guangzhou.

The fourth brigade was reorganized by Lin Deyang's Zhejiang New Army and was stationed in Jingdezhen.

Su Ze gave Yu Zigao an order to completely control the 15 counties in Guangzhou Prefecture to ensure that the spring plowing in the next year will not be affected.

In addition, Yu Zigao was required to regain the right to Macau leased by the Frangjiren (Portuguese), and the Frangjiren were prohibited from living in Macau.

However, Macao was opened as a port, allowing merchants from various countries to dock, and the Guangzhou Shipping Department was established in Macao.

At the same time, Su Ze also ordered Yu Zigao to occupy the artillery field and captain established by the Portuguese in Macau, and the craftsmen of all these technical factories can continue to live in Macau.

The navy left in Chaozhou and the gunboat brought by Yu Zigao have surrounded Macau, and more importantly, the soldiers on the road can board Macau at any time.

Not surprisingly, the Portuguese succumbed.

Portugal's big shipowner in Macau finally accepted the conditions proposed by Tan Lun and withdrew from Macau years ago.

Xu Wei asked suspiciously: "Governor, these Macau people hand over 400 gold coins to Guangdong Haidao Yamen every year. Since you allow them to do business in Macau, why do you want to drive them away?"

Su Ze said: "We naturally welcome business, but it is not acceptable to lease our land. This is the bottom line that cannot be tolerated."

This is not to say that Xu Wei betrayed the country, but that in the eyes of the Ming people at that time, Macau was a place where no one would shit, and no one lived there.

But for Su Ze, taking back Macau is not a bargain.

He is deeply aware of the pissing nature of these Western colonists, and will never speak to them.

"In addition, I sent a letter to Tan Gong that Macao craftsmen and mercenaries can stay, but none of the missionaries can stay, and all of them will be deported."

Xu Wei has also read the scriptures translated by Su Ze for Western missionaries, and he doesn't have any good impressions of these people.

Su Ze said again: "I plan to build a foreign business house in the port. All foreign businessmen who come to our southeast to do business have to spend their own money to live here."

"In addition, I have set up a translation office under the Fuzhou Shipping Department, which specializes in translating the books brought by these foreign businessmen."

Xu Wei nodded, since the opening of the sea has indeed brought about many problems.

For example, after foreign ships arrive at the port, businessmen and sailors often make trouble at the dock, causing many security problems.

In addition, the medical department led by Li Shizhen also discovered several new diseases at the dock.

If it weren't for Li Shizhen's medical officers to deal with it in a timely manner, these diseases would have spread to the city.

Su Ze was also taken aback. Only then did he remember the smallpox and plague brought by the Spaniards in South America, and strengthened the port's epidemic prevention measures.

But these are still not enough. As long as the port is open to trade, many infectious diseases will naturally be introduced.

Smallpox was rampant in the early Qing Dynasty, and even the emperor was left with pockmarks due to the sequelae of smallpox.

Thinking of this, Su Ze quickly wrote to Li Shizhen, describing to him the technique of planting vaccinia to prevent smallpox, and asked Li Shizhen to experiment with breeding vaccinia and train doctors who can plant vaccinia.

Establishing a dedicated dock area can not only reduce public security problems, but also block the introduction of some diseases.

After dealing with the matter of the port, Su Ze held the chessboard and said, "Brother Wen, let's play another game!"

The corner of Xu Wei's mouth twitched, and finally he obediently picked up the chess piece. He didn't understand why Su Ze wanted to play chess with him because there were so many officials in the Dudu Mansion.

Only Su Ze knew that he played chess to take advantage of the intelligence +6 buff, and he played chess with Xu Wei to discuss political affairs with him.

In addition, only Xu Wei's Go level is similar to Su Ze's, and he can play evenly with the buff of intelligence.

Su Ze made a move in the direction of Tianyuan, and Xu Wei had already gotten used to his unrestrained moves, so he ignored Su Ze's move and started to occupy the sideboard according to the chess record.

"Wenchang, what's going on in Nanzhili?"

Su Ze continued to exert strength in Tianyuan, Xu Wei finally couldn't help it, and competed with Su Ze in the center of the chessboard.

"The intelligence station in Nanzhili has been built, and the stationmaster Xiong is infiltrating various yamen in Nanjing."

Su Ze picked up the chess pieces and said, "Nanjing has to attack, and can't attack quickly. Lin Liangjun in Jiujiang will put pressure on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and hold Zhang Juzheng back."

Xu Wei said with admiration: "The governor really knows the best talents. Who would have thought that Nanzhili is now supported by Uncle Zhang."

"Although there are talents, Zhang Juzheng's request to perform a whip method in Nanzhili was rejected by the Ming court."

Su Ze said: "If the Ming court really implements a caning method in Nanzhili, it will be the way to death."

"One whip method is not bad, but it is the same as the two tax laws in the Tang Dynasty. The old taxes and miscellaneous labors are all converted into silver and taxed. Naturally, the imperial court can also expand its financial resources for a while, and the exorbitant miscellaneous taxes originally levied by the local government into the treasury."

"And because the tax base has been clarified, the people don't have to continue to be exploited by the local government and petty officials, and they can rest temporarily."

"But can the imperial court really agree with the people as it did at the beginning of the implementation, not to continue raising taxes?"

Xu Wei put down the chess piece and showed a listening expression.

Xu Wei put down the chess piece and showed a listening expression.

Su Ze said: "After the implementation of the "Two Tax Laws" in the Tang Dynasty, taxes continued to be raised later. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing to increase. Naturally, Huang Chao led people to revolt."

"If Zhang Juzheng implements the two-tax law, the imperial court and the government can't help but increase taxes for at most ten years. Even if it is done in the future, there will be new levies and miscellaneous taxes."

Xu Wei thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case.

When he helped Hu Zongxian fight against the Japanese in Zhejiang, he originally issued coupons with banknote tariffs as collateral, but he had already raised quite a lot of money.

But it was still not enough to spend. Later, Hu Zongxian seized the Zhejiang Chaoguan Office, and then almost invalidated the anti-Japanese coupons.

Now Su Ze is still in Zhejiang dealing with the issue of anti-Japanese bonds in those years, re-establishing trust in bonds.

But it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. Now Zhejiang is already looking forward to bonds.

Su Ze said: "Actually, this is also due to human nature."

"Every magistrate and magistrate in the Ming Dynasty wants to make some political achievements."

"Take Fujian as an example. In some unimportant counties, the walls built are higher than the prefectural cities."

"The county magistrate who arrives always has three fires for the new magistrate to take office, and there are always some things to do, which cost money."

"I still think that officials have no selfish intentions, and they are only talking about political achievements, let alone such things as corrupting Mo's public money."

"The desire of officials is endless, but the power of the people is limited."

"And the previous officials got high achievements, even if the people's power is exhausted, the current officials will not show mercy to the people's power. If they recuperate themselves, wouldn't it be cheaper for the newcomers?"

Xu Wei looked at Su Ze and asked, "Governor, is this a knot?"

Su Ze said: "Pan Jixun's method of leveling Lijia in Guangdong is a way."

Xu Wei said: "I've also read the Law of Average Lijia, and it's good for saving the government's public money. It's not enough to cure this stubborn disease."

Su Ze said: "Naturally, it needs to be changed."

"Using the county as a unit, if the county government wants to spend a large amount of public money, it needs to explain to all the district officials in the county where the public money is used and what effect it will have."

"Lizheng will return to the village, explain the use to the people, and listen to the opinions of the people."

"Next, the Yamen will convene these Lizhengs for a public discussion. If most of the Lizhengs object, the public money will not be spent."

Xu Wei frowned and said, "But ordinary people, how do they know the necessity of some official duties? If so, wouldn't the officials accomplish nothing when they take office? What's more, they will be bullied by subordinate officials and village chiefs."

Su Ze said: "Of course, so I am going to give another way. If it is really related to the people's livelihood and the military, and it costs a lot of money, you can ask the superiors to allocate funds, special funds, and even convert the part of the people's power into silver. Dial some more."

"What Lizheng is discussing, there is only the right to veto, not the right to propose. This is just an opportunity for the people to object."

Su Ze added: "In addition, Daming's assessment and inspection system also needs to be changed, but this has to be done slowly."

"First start the pilot in Nanping County, and if it is effective, it will be extended to the whole territory."

Of course, the most fearful thing about politics is to act too hastily. Seeing that Su Ze is not in a hurry to advance, Xu Wei also heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Ze dropped another son before saying:

"Nanjing is going to be lively."

Su Ze is right, Nanjing is very lively at this time.

Since Zhao Zhenji was promoted to the cabinet, Nanjing official circles have been amazed. Everyone never thought that Mr. Zhao would be promoted so quickly.

After Zhao Zhenji received the imperial decree, he rushed north to Beijing, and the atmosphere in Nanjing changed subtly.

First of all, many officials quietly transferred their families back to their hometowns. If their hometowns were from Zhejiang and Fujian, they would let their wives return to their natal homes or seek refuge with relatives and friends.

After Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the military and civilian affairs in Southern Zhili, he found that many officials came to resign.

Zhang Juzheng was furious, so naturally he dismissed all of them, but there are still many officials in Nanjing who fled secretly.

What annoyed Zhang Juzheng even more was Wei Guogong Xu Pengju's living treasure.

Because Xu Pengju, who had been ordered to reflect at home after the Zhenwu Camp mutiny, suddenly sent his family members out of Nanjing City.

But Zhang Juzheng couldn't control Xu Pengju, so he could only write a letter to impeach this guy.

With Xu Pengju as an example, the big and small nobles in Nanjing also followed suit and began to secretly transfer their family properties.

In addition, there was a money shortage in Nanjing.

Zhang Juzheng finally got a piece of good news, which can be regarded as good news. Gao Gong, who was demoted to Nanjing, finally arrived.

Zhang Juzheng returned to Nanjing from Anqing just to meet Gao Gong.

When Gao Gong saw the Nanjing city in winter, he couldn't help expressing emotion.

Along the way, he saw the corruption in Jiangbei and the barrenness on both sides of the canal, and he had long been numb.

But seeing the city of Nanjing like this, Gao Gong still has a feeling that his life is dying.

"Su Qing!"

Zhang Juzheng pulled Gao Gong into the carriage, and couldn't wait to talk about government affairs.

"Su Qing, there is a shortage of money in Nanjing City, and the market is about to barter, what do you think?"

Gao Gong looked out of the car. In a market at the entrance of the alley, people were exchanging things.

And the shops along the streets in the entire city of Nanjing are closed, and there is no way to trade normally under such circumstances.

Gao Gong asked, "Uncle, why is there a shortage of money in Nanjing?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "First of all, the goods in the Second Mansion of Su and Song Dynasty are too popular, and a lot of copper coins and silver have flowed out."

"In addition, many dignitaries in Nanjing City sold their family properties and exchanged them for silver to leave Nanjing City. These have led to a shortage of money."

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng said indignantly: "The state affairs are like this, and these nobles who are resting with the state all want to run away. I went to the book to participate in the performance, but the court didn't respond!"

Gao Gong sighed and said: "The state affairs are like this, uncle should still think about things in Nanjing."

Only then did Zhang Juzheng say: "Forget it, let's not talk about these people. The current plan is to stabilize Nanjing's money and grain, otherwise Nanjing City will collapse without the Soviet thieves attacking."

Alas, there is no way to add more recently. With high blood sugar, there is a high probability of diabetes. In the future, you will need to adjust your work and rest, move your legs, and see if you need to take medicine to control it in the hospital.
