Chapter 455: Undercurrent

The wind is coming again. In the winter of the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the Jiangnan region seems a little desolate. The arrogant and nobles and clans in the past seem to be in a bad mood. Many people are stern and depressed all day long.&1t;/p>

But there are a few, but they have an excited look on their faces.&1t;/p>

There is nothing else, just because they were on the list of the emperor, defected to the state-owned capital consortium, and were incorporated into peripheral members of the consortium.&1t;/p>

Seeing that the ruling class in the south of the Yangtze River is about to collapse, it is naturally a very happy event to be able to get off this broken ship.&1t;/p>

But in the seemingly calm situation, a conspiracy is brewing, and a group of Jiangnan gentry and family members launched a secret gathering.&1t;/p>

Those who can participate are all well-known characters.&1t;/p>

"We can't continue like this anymore. The child of Tianqi is about to reach out to Jiangnan. Once Jiangnan completes the reform, isn't this going to revolutionize our lives?"&1t;/p>

"Yes, we will be charged to us at that time, and we will have to pay taxes for everything we do. It is simply a levied and levied."&1t;/p>

"We will overthrow such a foolish monarch."&1t;/p>

"Suppose this foolish monarch."&1t;/p>

A group of people counted Zhu Youxiao’s “Seven Sins” and shouted slogans for a long time. Someone saw them. They shouted slogans, but there seemed to be no substantive content or decision!&1t;/p>

These people oppose the new policy reform implemented by Zhu Youxiao, which is actually a tax issue.&1t;/p>

Human history can actually be regarded as a tax history. The same is true in China. Since ancient times, tax revenues have been different in all dynasties, and have also created different situations.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty is probably the lowest tax dynasty among all dynasties. Such a loose policy has raised a group of capitalists who have eaten and drunk enough. For them, the money has become a bunch of numbers and can no longer satisfy their appetite.&1t;/p>

So in addition to fantasizing about immortality, they are controlling politics.&1t;/p>

In this era when feudal dynasty thought was prevalent, in this era when capitalist revolution had not yet been born, let alone the age.&1t;/p>

It is obviously not feasible to openly call out the capitalist revolution, so what they do is to penetrate politically. The situation was very good, but Zhu Youxiao jumped out and wiped out their power in the court. Now only local political forces remain in those unreformed provinces.&1t;/p>

Jiangnan is their base camp.&1t;/p>

The reform is almost at the base camp, and the next ones will face heavy blows, besides their capital, there are also political forces.&1t;/p>

"The current situation is only possible for civil rebellion to recover." Someone pondered and everyone was silent.&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

At this time, a civil unrest was brewing in the Jiangnan region, while the Han Emperor Party led by Zhu Youxiao was brewing reforms in the Jiangnan region. This winter, the Jiangnan region was surging undercurrents. However, when these surging undercurrents were brewing, Zhu Youxiao had already received internal news.&1t;/p>

The aristocrats in Jiangnan have too many capital forces, and the conspiracy has been leaked.&1t;/p>

"Since they are going to cause civil chaos, it is another big pace of house search!" Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that he was not worried at all about this civil chaos being planned.&1t;/p>

The Jiangnan region has good education, and most people are very law-abiding. How much can the civil unrest be? How many people are willing to come out to cause civil unrest?&1t;/p>

There have been civil unrest in Jiangnan, but they are all small-scale. After civil unrest, they will automatically subside. Those who should have taken the blame will come out.&1t;/p>

It can only be said that these Jiangnan gentry and capital forces are too naive, or that they are already desperate, so they can only take this worst.&1t;/p>

After all, these people have military power but no military power, and the central political forces have been cleaned up again. It is unrealistic to resist reform by force, so they can only conduct polls.&1t;/p>

The most direct poll said that it was a public chaos, and hope was based on this to change the central reform policy, but is this possible?&1t;/p>

This time, Zhu Youxiao was determined to reform Jiangnan, and no one could come. He immediately ordered the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang to prepare for early control.&1t;/p>

At the same time, a large number of officials and civil servants are being selected. These officials and civil servants will be transferred to Jiangnan next year to preside over reform activities.&1t;/p>

On the list of a group of officials, Zhu Youxiao found a name - Shi Kefa!&1t;/p>

In the eighth year of Tianqi, he was assigned to be the county magistrate of Henan Province. He performed well in eight years and has now become the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.&1t;/p>

In this promotion list, Shi Kefa is ranked among the top.&1t;/p>

Shi Kefa is from Shuntian Prefecture. The northerner at the foot of the capital city has nothing to do with the southern capital chaebols and gentry. He also joined the Han Imperial Party and is also a backbone member.&1t;/p>

"Just this Shi Kefa, let's arrange for him to preside over the overall situation of Jiangnan reform." Zhu Youxiao immediately made a decision and said to Shen Qing.&1t;/p>

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Wei replied, then paused and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the old man has felt old and weak recently, and he probably can't serve Your Majesty for how long. Your Majesty should also determine the candidate for the auxiliary as soon as possible."&1t;/p>

Shen Qing is over 60 years old this year and has been working for Zhu Youzhai for fourteen years. It is a rare one for eleven years.&1t;/p>

"I know, I'll take care of myself first and then hold on for a while." Zhu Youxiao knew that Shen Qing wanted to retire and go home to spend his old age, but this request was hard to refuse.&1t;/p>

However, when Shen Yi retreated, he really didn't think about who would take over. This matter really needs to be considered, otherwise he would be in a hurry in the future.&1t;/p>

In the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court basically had no military activities, and its main energy was to focus on internal reforms and the development of marine trade.&1t;/p>

At this time, the main force of the Ming army was concentrated in the area north of the Yangtze River, and made every effort to protect the reform. However, the Mongols in Central Asia and the remnants of Jiannu in the lower reaches of the Volga River were all the targets to be wiped out in the future.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the northwest was opened in full swing throughout the year of the 14th year of the Apocalypse. The railway was built to the Western Regions. At the end of the year, the railway was almost built to the Balkhash Lake area, but the work was suspended in winter.&1t;/p>

The railway will be built to the heartland of Central Asia tomorrow, and there will be no problem at all, so the Supreme Command has determined next year's military plan at the end of the year, namely, to sweep away the nomadic peoples in Central Asia and occupy and immigrate.&1t;/p>

In the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the reform of the Huaihe River Basin has achieved full results, with a significant increase in the immigrant population, the Northeast region increased by 120,000 immigrant population, while the Western Regions increased by 60,000 immigrant population, and the Mongolian region successfully immigrated by 10,000 people.&1t;/p>

The scale of commercial grain production has increased again, and the area of ​​arable land in the Northeast has reached 200 million mu. The Northeast commercial grain production area has become the pillar of northern commercial grain. The population liberated from the land has increased again, but the increase has slowed down.&1t;/p>

Because the economy is braked.&1t;/p>

Construction projects are mainly based on basic public facilities, railways and water conservancy. The large-scale production process of light industry is still very fast. Although some private businessmen went bankrupt because banks did not lend money, the market is still possible, especially for those merchants who use steam engine equipment for large-scale production of light industry merchants.&1t;/p>

The construction of railways has expanded the scale of the business market and allowed them to fully enjoy the welfare of the exhibition. Many merchants who produce light industrial trades have made money. After the reform of various provinces, a large-scale unified market has been formed. Although the income of the people is also affected by this wave of economic brakes, the survival of the people can still be guaranteed through those construction activities, especially those who are doing things steadily, which are basically not affected.&1t;/p>

Life is not easy for local merchants. But for national merchants who produce light industrial traders on a large scale and come to this unified market, life is more comfortable.&1t;/p>

The economy has begun to transform, starting from township handicrafts to large-scale light industrial commerce. Just like the economic trend that began in the 1990s.&1t;/p>

Steam engines are driving a large-scale revolution for light industrial traders, and industrial zones are becoming increasingly prosperous. Raw materials everywhere are gathering in these industrial zones and then being produced into various traders to transport them out.&1t;/p>

There are still many state-owned light industrial enterprises, but private capital is very competitive in the field of light industrial exhibitions. The number of state-owned light industrial factories is gradually being driven by private businessmen.&1t;/p>

Private capital is obviously still the main force in the development of light industry. It is unlikely that state-owned enterprises want to occupy a direct dominance in light industry, but they can influence light industry through finance, raw materials, taxation, etc. For these private capital, the court still wants them to make money, they have money to make money, and they don’t want them to make money, so they can only shrink quickly.&1t;/p>

It's nothing more than fattening a wave first and then starting to shear the wool.&1t;/p>

The main development directions of state-owned enterprises are steel, chemicals, machinery and other heavy industries, and are also moving towards large-scale production.&1t;/p>

In the fields of raw materials and transportation, state-owned enterprises also occupy an absolute dominant position.&1t;/p>

Basically, the economic brake plan has achieved results in the 14th year of the revelation. At the same time, the industrialization process is still in progress. The whole northern reform provinces are still in progress, and the people's livelihood is still acceptable. There are many people who are willing to work hard, and the originally flooded impetuous wind has gradually settled down.&1t;/p>

The problems left by Kuaishang have been partially solved.&1t;/p>

This year, due to economic braking, economic growth slowed down, and fiscal revenue only increased to 8%, reaching 1.18 billion yuan, generating a fiscal deficit of 200,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

Such a fiscal deficit is still acceptable, mainly because of the money owed to the bank, but in fact the money of the bank is the money of the government.&1t;/p>

It’s just that the bank’s money is used for business and exhibitions, while the national fiscal revenue is used for strategic construction, public facilities construction, administrative, military and other expenses.&1t;/p>

It is precisely because Zhu Youxiao has changed the fiscal deficit for the first time since the fiscal predicament that the fiscal budget for the fifteenth year of the Tianqi reign became a little conservative, but it still jumped to the budget scale of 1.3 billion, because Jiangnan will be reformed next year. Once the Jiangnan region is reformed, it will inevitably bring a large amount of tax revenue to the court. At the same time, it may also be able to search the house. At that time, the big players can also increase the fiscal revenue.&1t;/p>

Moreover, it will cost money to reform Jiangnan! It is not possible to not increase the fiscal budget. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
