Chapter 692
Xi'an City is a bit chilly in July.
"Although life is still difficult in Shaanxi without rebellion, it has a bright future."
Shaanxi Governor Chen Qiyu walked on this bustling street in casual clothes and said to the accompanying counselor Jin Sheng: "Especially those bankrupt lower-level groups, under the dispatch of the Shaanxi Disaster Relief Administration, can rectify the roads and repair them in various places with peace of mind.
Water conservancy, earning enough food and salary to support the family was simply unimaginable in the past."
"yes."
Jin Sheng sighed: "Think about the past few years, and even longer, disasters under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi have occurred frequently, such as snow disasters, droughts, floods, locust plagues, earthquakes, etc., which have occurred in Guanzhong.
The damage has a great impact.
The serious corruption in the officialdom in Shanxi and Shaanxi has led to frequent tyrants and miscellaneous taxes, which has aggravated the burden on the lower-level groups. How could they sit and wait for death if they have no way to survive?”
Although the rebellion of the bandits ravaging Shanxi and Shaanxi has ended for a long time, Chen Qiyu, Jin Sheng and others have never dared to forget this matter.
Only they knew the pressure they had suffered during the fight to suppress the rebellion of the thieves.
The hard-won peace and stability now makes it impossible for Chen Qiyu or Jinsheng to allow anyone to dare to destroy this stability.
"To this day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for palace affairs, has successively built a number of industrial factories under our Shaanxi rule."
Chen Qiyu frowned slightly and looked at Jin Sheng and said, "It involves mining, smelting and forging, cement and glazing, cotton textile industry, grain processing and other industries. It absorbs the outstanding groups under the Shaanxi Disaster Relief Administration to ensure that our Shaanxi governance can maintain it.
A positive trend.
But I don’t understand why Sun Chuanting’s actions in Henan attracted so many oppositions.
Is it already difficult for the full-time group under the Meiji to support their families without land as a supporter, relying on their own hands to do the heaviest chores, so why do they still have to bear the heavy tax on the tax?”
Shanxi and Shaanxi are adjacent to Henan. Perhaps the lower-level groups under their rule are not clear about what Henan is experiencing nowadays.
However, I have more or less aware of some groups in Shanxi, such as officials and gentry, merchants, etc., what Henan is experiencing.
"It's normal for a voice to object."
Jin Sheng spoke with emotion, "The essence of diligence into a mu is not only further refined the tax imposed by the state dynasty, but it is more about cracking down on land annexation, but this matter is not as in the past, and it is based on policy.
To forcefully restrain, but to use real interests to restrain.
Whoever has more land and land under his name will pay more taxes. Whoever has less land and land under his name will pay less taxes. After all, once the tax is made by the tax, there will be no more taxes in my Ming Dynasty in the future.
It's right.
It is precisely this that makes those groups with privileged dissatisfaction with such decrees that are not conducive to them, so there are so many things that oppose them.
Didn’t your Majesty say it before?
In a sense, the thieves rebelled under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi are the officials who force the people to rebel, and the privileges force people to live in the world. The lower-level groups have no way to survive and are increased layer by layer. Under the threat of death, no matter how weak they are, they can be
Those who deceive will burst out with extremely strong energy."
"yes."
Chen Qiyu sighed: "In fact, for the people at the bottom, the mistake is that they are forced to do anything. The whole family has no way to survive. Who would be willing to rebel from the court?
My scholars from the Shaanxi Disaster Relief Administration have conducted secret visits to those groups that were once swept by thieves. After summary statistics, the summary of several situations are surprisingly similar.
Donate heavy taxes, use power for personal gain, engage in favoritism, collusion between officials and gentry, collusion between officials and businessmen...
Without the above situations, local governments can actively provide disaster relief and effectively reduce the pressure on the lower-class groups, the rebellion in Shaanxi will not become more and more intense."
Influenced by Emperor Chongzhen, a group of awakened people have appeared in the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty. They have gathered widely under the leadership of the disaster relief administration offices in various places, using some ideas that are different from the Ming Dynasty to consider the problems encountered now and solve the current situation.
Problems encountered.
"If the stubborn disease of privilege cannot be gradually broken, there will actually not be much change for the Ming Dynasty."
Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What Sun Chuanting did in Henan is to break the rules and break the status quo. No matter how much pressure he was under, he never retreated.
If the matter of dives and acres can be successfully piloted in Henan, it will give rise to a lot of positive changes for the Ming Dynasty."
"I can do what Henan can do, Shaanxi can do the same!"
Chen Qiyu's eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind, "In view of the fact that the matter of digging into a mu and the impact of the Henan rule is continuing to expand.
I think that officials and gentry can work together to pay food and work together, and can make some noise in advance and gradually try it out in Shaanxi. If this matter can be facilitated, then what Sun Chuanting did in Henan will relatively reduce a lot of pressure."
"Governor Chen, you have to think about it."
Jin Shrine looked at Chen Qiyu with a frown, "If you really want to do this, the pressure will be concentrated on you, and officials and gentry will work together to pay food and work together. This is a good way to truly shake privileges.
It is precisely a good strategy to benefit the country and the people. Too many benefits can be touched will lead to many vested interest groups and form a serious counterattack."
"If a person lives in the world, he should do something."
Chen Qiyu said with a firm look: "As long as it is beneficial to the Ming country and the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many infamous it is, what is it?
If we really talk about the pressure we bear, what are the pressures we bear compared to His Majesty?
Don’t forget that the disaster relief administrations organized by northern provinces have allocated food and money and expenses due to the food and salary of the government and have not been allocated from the national treasury.
Just this one, how much food and salary does Your Majesty spend every year?
Think about the military agency set up by His Majesty, and the sub-mines sent to various places to condemn the food and wage pressures that have to be subject to condemn the troops in various regions. If we don’t do anything, will we let His Majesty bear this all the time?"
"Then do it."
Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "The situation in Shaanxi is better than Shanxi after all. After all, the Five Military Camp and Shenshu Camp are stationed in the northwest border, which shocks the direction of Qinghai. If there is any movement, it may be possible to draw elite troops on a large scale to suppress it.
