Rise From the Humble

"I see, I have misunderstood this, please forgive me."

After listening to Zhu Pingan's explanation, County Magistrate Zhao carefully read the contents of the two official documents. He suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, so he returned the two official documents to Zhu Pingan and apologized.

"It's also because I didn't make it clear in advance that Mr. Zhao is guilty of acting impartially." Zhu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand.

"Since your Excellency has been ordered to recruit militiamen, as the magistrate of Yiwu, I will fully cooperate." Magistrate Zhao expressed his position.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands in thanks.

"The official is asking too much, please don't blame me. There are many places in the seven provinces of Jiangnan, and Yiwu is not famous for its mountains and rivers. I wonder why your Excellency chose Yiwu to recruit troops?" Magistrate Zhao asked Zhu Ping'an in confusion.

"I have heard about the Yiwu Mining Dispute. The people of Yiwu dare to fight, are not afraid of death, and are united. This deeply shocked me. With such a natural soldier, with a little training, they can become an elite army and strong generals. Therefore, I came here. Yiwu is recruiting troops. I came to Guixian today and witnessed a mining dispute with my own eyes, and I deeply believed it." Zhu Pingan replied simply.

"I see. Indeed, after Xianguan came to Yiwu, this was the first time he saw such fierce people who were not afraid of death." Zhao Zhixian sighed, "Speaking of it, the local people are fierce and tough, and it is not easy to govern."

Speaking of this, Zhixian Zhao changed his voice, sighed and said slowly, "Having said that, it is not easy for you to recruit troops. Now the dispute over the mines in Yiwu is fierce. Different clans in Yiwu are fighting for the mines. Locals compete with outsiders for minerals. Once they compete for minerals, armed fighting is easy to occur. The main focus of armed fighting is manpower. The more people there are, the more powerful they are. If they participate in recruitment, the number of members of the clan will be reduced, which is not conducive to the struggle for minerals. The lower officials are worried about them I won’t take part in recruitment easily.”

"I have thought of this for a long time, so I need Mr. Zhao to do me a favor." Zhu Pingan said to Magistrate Zhao.

When Zhu Ping'an was preparing to come to Yiwu to recruit troops, he had already thought about it. Especially after seeing the scene of the mine dispute in Yiwu, he knew that if he wanted to recruit troops in Yiwu, he must first solve the Yiwu mine dispute.

"My lord, please give me your instructions. It is my duty to serve as an official. I am just worried that my talent and shortcomings will delay my lord's important affairs."

Zhao Zhixian returned the gift and did not refuse.

"The Yiwu mining dispute has caused heavy losses, and it is time to end it. We also ask Magistrate Zhao to issue a notice to the entire county, reaffirming our national policy of prohibiting mining in the Ming Dynasty. All minerals in Yiwu, including gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, tin, and aluminum, belong to the state. Without the approval of the government, private mining is strictly prohibited. Anyone who mines privately will be severely punished for theft and will not be punished!" Zhu Pingan said slowly.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master Zhu, although we have implemented a policy of banning mining since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of banning mining has been loosened to this day. Moreover, Yiwu has many mines and little land, and the people Most of them make a living by mining. If mining is banned, it will be like cutting off the livelihood of the people. I am afraid that Yiwu will be in chaos as soon as this notice comes out. If it is serious, it may lead to the government forcing the people to rebel."

"Zhixian Zhao, please be patient. The content of the notice I have spoken is not finished yet. In addition, the loosening of the mining ban policy is also inevitable for social development. However, although the mining ban policy is loosened and private operations are allowed to a certain extent, this is It is based on government approval and payment in kind to the government.”

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and said slowly.

"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. The subordinate officials are anxious and lose their bearings when they are concerned. Please continue to give your instructions." Zhao Zhixian said with his hands.

Zhu Ping'an took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "For the two, for the mining industry that has been occupied, after paying back the physical goods in accordance with the regulations, the government will recognize it and issue a new approval document, allowing the occupier to proceed. Mining requires payment in kind in full and on time; all unoccupied and undiscovered minerals belong to the state, and it is strictly prohibited for anyone to occupy or mine in any way. Violators will be severely punished for the crime of theft, and those who use force to fight, fight, etc. Those who compete for minerals through various means will be severely punished with robbery. For unoccupied and undiscovered mines, the government can organize manual mining and give priority to recruiting local people to mine. When there are not enough locals, outsiders can be recruited. The government can also recruit people based on the situation. Private mining is allowed, and those interested in mining need to apply to the government. Mining can only be done after the government approves, and they must pay in kind in full and on time.”

After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Zhao Zhixian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but nodded.

Recognizing that the mining industry has been occupied, the government will issue an approval document after the mineral occupiers pay the in-kind tax, so that vested interests (including mining clans and mining miners) will not be offended and there will be no need to worry about them causing chaos;

For unoccupied mining, private occupation of mines is prohibited. Violators will be punished with theft, and those who use weapons to rob the mines will be punished with robbery. In this way, there is no need to worry about the recurrence of armed conflicts among the people.

In addition, for unoccupied mining, the government can recruit local people to mine or approve private mining. This way it takes the initiative and controls Yiwu.

This notice may solve the problems that have plagued Yiwu for nearly a century!

Of course, the most important thing is that this is a notice posted under the instructions of Zhu Ping'an, deputy envoy of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Punishment and Prosecution. Even if the notice is inappropriate, Zhu Ping'an, who has a higher official position, will bear the responsibility.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhao didn't want to delay for a moment, and said repeatedly, "Your Excellency is wise, thank you for solving the ills of Yiwu's century-old mining dispute. I will draw up a draft now and have people put up notices in the county, towns and villages to inform the whole county. "

"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Zhao." Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Your Majesty explained to me the shortcomings of Yiwu's century-old mining conflict. It's too late for my subordinates to be grateful. How can I talk about hard work?"

Zhao Zhixian said quickly.

"Sir, please wait a moment. Someone will be writing and posting notices." Zhao Zhixian said and was about to go down to make arrangements.

"Sir Zhao, please wait a moment. Please post this recruitment notice all over the county at the same time. You have to work hard for your county clerk to copy and post several copies." Zhu Pingan said, taking out a recruitment notice from his arms and handing it to Zhao Zhixian.

Zhao Zhixian took the notice, and the contents of the notice came into view.

The recruitment notice was titled: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world - I am asking you to use the kindness of the emperor and father to recruit soldiers who dare to fight in Yiwu." It called on farmers and miners in Yiwu to put aside their past grievances and join forces to defend their hometown and resist Japanese pirates.

It is eloquent, with more than a hundred words, and is very contagious. After reading it, your blood will surge all over your body, and you can't wait to join the army and serve the country immediately.

The number one scholar is worthy of being the number one scholar. This announcement alone is enough for him to learn from.

Especially the sentence in the title, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is really breathtaking and full of admiration!

The words are concise and concise, with endless implications and thought-provoking. It can be expected that this recruitment notice will be passed down for centuries. This sentence "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" will definitely become a famous saying that will be passed down through the ages!

The No. 1 Scholar is worthy of being the No. 1 Scholar, so you can’t accept it.
