Chapter 278 Military control begins, Kikuta Hezi is full of grievances

Listening to the cheers below, Chongzhen had a meaningful look on his face.

After waving his hands and waiting for the people to calm down for a while, Ni Yuanlu presided over the closing ceremony, and then Chongzhen took a special car and prepared to drive back to the palace.

In the city gate building, Chen Ye, who was coordinating with Wang Chengen to ensure the normal operation of the video equipment, breathed a sigh of relief, shut down all the equipment and completed the finishing work.

Although the equipment is highly integrated, ensuring that it can be used just by plugging in a wire, those who can't stand the Ming Dynasty are still half-baked.

After a slight lag, I became extremely panicked. There were also some line failures, poor connections and the screen went out. I asked for instructions on various minor problems. The busy Chen Ye was sweating profusely.

"My lord, after two or three times of this kind of scene, you will know how to do this job in the future. It's just you who come here. Even the gods can't stand it if I keep asking."

"What the shop owner said is that you can just look at these small things from now on. If you tell me what I didn't do well, I will definitely not bother you to do these complicated little things again."

Wang Chengen had a headache when he heard Chen Ye's words, but he had no way to refute it. He could only hope that Chen Ye could keep an eye on such a big scene again in the future.

Patting Wang Chengen on the shoulder, Chen Ye got into his own car, followed Chongzhen's motorcade into the inner city, and then drove to the palace.

Because he was already in the inner city and less than one kilometer away from the imperial palace, Chongzhen did not stand on the side of the carriage anymore, but returned to the carriage.

Other ministers are not so lucky. They all have truck stop tickets. Those who don't want to can ride their own bikes.

But those who can ride bicycles are all ministers and bachelors. To compete with them is not to seek death and to openly claim that you are rich?

After Chongzhen got into the car, Li Ruolian also opened the door, got into the front seat, and turned around to hand over a brochure.

"Your Majesty, according to the operational instructions, the internal inspection of Jinyiwei has been completed.

This time, a total of four people from 1,000 households with theft of grain and wages were dealt with, and nine people from 100 households with serious corruption and bribery were dealt with. Not counting the general banner and the small banner, a total of 37 persons were dealt with.

The Zhili Jinyiwei currently has a registered population of 34,220 households. After the last reduction and reduction, the number of soldiers is 22,224.

There are a total of 640,000 acres of farmland, divided into various prefectures directly under the Central Government. Shuntian Prefecture only has 220,000 acres.

A total of 310,000 acres of farmland were occupied by nobles and officials, and the remaining 310,000 acres were mostly occupied by the upper echelons of the hereditary Jinyi Guards.

Twenty-eight thousand households and more than two hundred hundred households occupy a total of 210,000 acres of land. The remaining 30,000 households have less than 100,000 acres of land."

Listening to Li Ruolian's report, Chongzhen nodded. It was clear that Jinyiwei's land property data was very reasonable and representative.

More than 100,000 acres of land support 30,000 Jinyiwei military households, and they are also responsible for paying military household taxes. On average, four acres of land support four people. No wonder Jinyiwei has to go out and set up a stall.

"In addition to the Jin Yiwei, how many nobles who have violated laws and disciplines have been found in the capital recently?"

"...Your Majesty, there are many, or in other words, there are problems, it's just a matter of how many."

When Chongzhen heard Li Ruolian's words, his expression did not change, and he secretly thought about who should start this.

It is simply too normal for noble officials not to pay taxes on the land they hold in their hands, or in other words, it is too normal to avoid paying taxes in various ways.

Of course, if the Ming Dynasty can run to this point, it still needs to give decent face to the Ministry of Revenue, so I mean to spread the corvee more heavily and scrape out the money.

The corresponding thing is that the people can't survive, they confiscate a few grains a year, and they owe a lot of money, so they can only run away from village to village.

"Li Aiqing, take this booklet and go to Chen Yan tomorrow.

Tell him to find the most serious ones, Duke Cheng, Wei, and Ding of the Three Kingdoms, as well as Zhang Sizhi, Sun Chuanting, and others, the great scholars of the current dynasty, to impeach him.

Explain to him that I will protect him. If he doesn't want to, I will find him and attack his home and confiscate the property of the Yi tribe."

"But Your Majesty, hasn't Chen Yan resigned?"

"It's because he resigned that I wouldn't allow him to impeach me."

When Chongzhen didn't continue, Li Ruolian understood that he wanted Chen Yan to be the leader.

After all, those who are in the court are all people from Chongzhen. If they are allowed to stand out, it will be difficult for them to do their jobs in the future, which is tantamount to offending the people of the world.

But Chen Yan was different from the beginning. Chongzhen refused, but still asked someone to investigate. The final result was that he was furious and the courtiers cooperated. How reasonable is this?

As for whether Chen Yan will cooperate, don't worry. If Jin Yiwei wants him to cooperate, then the impeachment letter will be sent. It is nothing more than a matter of initiative and passivity.

After returning to the palace, Chongzhen briefly explained to the ministers the issues that needed to be implemented by the Ministry of War to cancel the garrison. More details will be discussed and supplemented in the cabinet committee.

"Chen Aiqing, the leader of the Ministry of Household Affairs will hand over the list of the various guard stations directly under the Ministry of War to Sun Aiqing, who will take charge of the inventory of each guard station."

"I accept the decree."

Zhili is the gateway to the world. Basically, the three prefectures close to the north have more than ten guard posts.

Each of these guards has a roster in the Ministry of War, but the roster has not been updated for many years.

"Li Aiqing, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to follow up on the issue of re-registration of household registration yellow rolls and the transfer of military households to civilian households after the dismantling of the guards.

At the same time, the measurement and redistribution of land must also be fair and just.

Those who refuse to return or occupy the property of the garrison, regardless of their official position or title, will be reported to the Royal Army.

The property of the Weisuo belongs to the imperial court. Anyone who dares to privately own the property of the Weisuo is committing an act of stealing the country and will be severely punished."

"Your Majesty, is this move too harsh?

A lot of the land owned by the guards is cultivated for military households. If the distribution is forced, I am afraid it will cause panic among the military households, so I think we can make some compensation."

Li Daiwen asked worriedly. Although the fields in the guardhouse belonged to the imperial court, they had been distributed for many years.

Now that there is a sudden call for redistribution, those without land will of course be willing, but those with land will definitely not be happy.

"I have already thought about the compensation issue in Liaodong. After checking the land, we will keep the land according to the position of the land according to its ownership.

There are three levels: 100 acres for households with more than 1,000 households, 50 acres for general banners and above, and 20 acres for small banners and above.

Excess farmland will be recovered and distributed according to the number of households. It is mandatory to ensure that each household can have three acres of farmland. If it is not enough, it will be followed.

At the same time, after recycling and redistribution, on a household basis, each mu of additional reclaimed land will be subsidized for two years' output value.

For example, there are six people in their family. They originally had 40 acres of land, but after reallocation, they only have 24 acres. The output value of their six acres must be supplemented.

Calculated on the basis of one tael per meter and one stone, the subsidy for upper fields is 4 taels of silver, the subsidy for middle fields is 3 taels, the subsidy for lower fields is 2 taels, and the subsidy for uncultivated fields is 1 tael.

Or you can freely choose from 300 military coupons to 1,000 military coupons."

"This is no different from me! I cooperated well with Grand Scholar Sun to complete the restructuring of the Liaodong Guards Station under direct control."

Li Daiwen felt relieved when he heard this. If he had told me earlier, in these drought-stricken years, one acre of land could be used for 3 taels of silver. He would definitely be willing to do it except to harvest the land and refuse to let it go.

Now, those who originally had insufficient farmland have to worry. One hundred acres is not difficult for commanders, but it may not be difficult for thousands of households. Not every guard station can make money.

"But there is one thing. If it is not a military household but it invades the military household's land, only one tael will be paid.

Those who refuse to return them, regardless of their official position, will be examined uniformly, and if there are other incidents of corruption, embezzlement, or misappropriation of land, they will be severely punished!"

"I accept the decree."

Li Daiwen nodded silently. Now those who had made deals with the Wei Institute and occupied the land would be anxious, but it was okay to be anxious, since he had no farmland in his hands anyway.

"After talking about the issue of the health center, it's time to consider the issue of the plague. Wu Aiqing, do you have any concerns about the telegram I sent you?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have no doubts after reading it and will complete it seriously."

Wu Youxing nodded and said that the telegram Chongzhen gave him was to organize students to prepare for training.

“The scale of the plague outbreak is very rapid, and epidemics in various places have proven this. Only scientific prevention and control can end it as soon as possible.

Therefore, I am announcing that from now on, Zhili will enter a formal state of military control for epidemic prevention.

All people directly under the central government are not allowed to move. At the same time, the Royal Army in each prefecture has set up disaster relief headquarters to recruit refugees to provide work for relief, and to dig and build roads.

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Household Affairs are in charge of this matter."

"I am waiting for your order!"

There are no surprises. Those who can stand here are all people who know all the action plans, and Chongzhen is the only one who can announce it.

After the meeting, a telegram was sent from the Royal Army in the capital.

All Royal Army regiment headquarters received orders to abolish guard posts, inventory the property of each guard post, and place military control directly under Liaodong.

After receiving the news, the Royal Army of each province immediately brought flintlock muskets and bronze cannons, and rushed to the garrison in battalion units. Three companies surrounded them, with one company as the representative.

There is only one purpose, to collect military power and check accounts, and at the same time implement the management measures of Zhili ban.

According to Chongzhen's order, as long as all the guard posts dare to resist, they will launch a volley to kill them first.

Most of the various garrison posts in Zhili were sent out of the capital because of the Jinzhou Campaign, and more than 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp were also transferred to dig roads.

The remaining more than 200,000 soldiers from various garrison posts were still in a state of confusion when they were approached.

On Huichang Street on the other side, after the meeting, Chen Ye strolled home casually on the street, bought a bunch of fried cakes, and ate them while walking.

Although the deep-fried cakes use seasoned oil and the sanitary conditions are very worrying, compared with traditional Indian roadside stalls, they lack the soul of masala, but so what?

As an invulnerable virus filter, Chen Ye is not afraid of any food hygiene hazards.

When we walked to the Royal Store, we could clearly see that the Royal Store was much busier now than before, even though most people came to buy rice, flour, grains and oils.

Royal Merchant's rice does not contain any additives, and the price difference between top rice, middle rice and bottom rice is not big.

Although the rice is just broken rice, the price is much cheaper than that of the grain merchants. One tael of silver and two hundred military coupons can buy one stone per bucket.

For the diligent and thrifty people, this is also a good product to grab as soon as the doors open.

In addition, wealthy people and officials would also come to the Royal Merchant to make purchases after receiving military coupon subsidies.

Obviously, Chongzhen has been burning money to subsidize military coupons, and hundreds of millions of supplies have been burned. However, secretly, the situation has begun to appear that the people only want military coupons and are unwilling to ask for scraps of silver and copper plates.

After all, military coupons can be purchased more cost-effectively, and money can only buy rice. For other grains, oils and seasonings, only military coupons can be purchased.

Moreover, there was also a problem with the fineness of the silver, and the royal merchants did not accept the copper plates, which resulted in disguised appreciation of the copper plates, depreciation of the silver, and appreciation of the military bonds.

Chen Ye walked to the door. It had been a month of changes. The welcoming man at the door had changed from Hanfu to a more sexy cheongsam and black stockings.
