"All the confiscated fields are still all changed to state-run farms, the original tenants are changed to farms, and the tenant rents are the same as those of Huangzhuang tenants, and each village is set up on the basis of the township officials, and the official positions are given to the eight grades, which are recommended by the county government, and the officials are recounted, and the rents collected are directly under the control of the household department for public grain; The confiscated shops and workshops are sold by the government, and whoever gives the highest price will sell them to whomever they want, which is considered to be in line with the bidding system of the royal law, whether it is the comprehensive store of the East Factory, or the business name of the city company, as well as private business, whether public or private, can participate; The Imperial History, the officials of the Inspectorate and the East Factory supervised the transactions, and all the money sold went to the Ministry of Household Affairs for the public treasury; In addition to the confiscated mansions, which have been allocated to the royal annex and public use, they have also been sold in this way. ”Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to give the confiscated fields, shops, mansions, workshops, and other real estate to Xungui or anything.Because Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to raise parasites.For the rewards of the meritorious, Zhu Youxiao will only directly reward silver or treatment.Because if the money is given directly, the meritorious person will at least use the silver to consume, to generate trading activities, and to feed more people."
Yes!"
Han Yi and Xiong Tingbi both replied."
How is the pacification done, and the Jiangnan people whose lives have been affected by the rebellion can return to their usual state?"
Zhu Youxiao is more concerned about the quality of life of the people at the bottom of Jiangnan, after all, these people determine whether the economically developed area of Jiangnan is developing healthily."
Your Majesty, there are many businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many workers, therefore, the cities and towns gather, Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang, Huzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Hangzhou and other places are not less than a million workers, and the discipline of the rebels is corrupt, blindly robbing homes, so that many large and small merchants are bankrupt, a large number of workers are unemployed, beggars are in the streets and alleys, although the ministers try their best to transfer food and relief, but it is also a drop in the bucket, seeing that the weather is getting colder, the plague is increasing, if it is not properly handled, the ministers are worried that there will be a great epidemic after the chaos, therefore, The minister believes that there is no recovery yet, and if it wants to return to the previous state, the top priority of the imperial court is to restore the production of merchants and workers as soon as possible!
”Han Yi didn't dare to hide it, so he answered truthfully.Zhu Youxiao also pondered after hearing this.He knows that because he used new textile technology to open a new textile industry, causing a large number of textile workshops to go bankrupt, has made a large number of weavers and weavers have to be transformed into workers, and now a rebellion has caused a large number of Jiangnan merchants and handicraftsmen in other industries that have not been affected by the technological upgrading of the textile industry to go bankrupt, which naturally makes the Jiangnan commodity economy that is already in the transition period encounter greater problems."
You're right, we must let the businessmen resume production and the workers work as soon as possible, the Weaving Bureau and the Cotton Yarn Bureau have recruited enough workers, and they can't recruit any more, so we can only help these businessmen resume production first, so that they can provide and absorb these workers."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said."
We want to see the emperor!""
Please let us meet the emperor!""
Please ask the emperor to save us, our family property has been robbed by the rebels, I can't pay my salary, and I can't support my family, so if I go on like this, I can only hang myself or be beaten to death, or starve to death with the whole family!"
At this time, there was a commotion and the shouting of the guards and sergeants outside.When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he hurriedly said to Han Yi and Xiong Tingbi: "Let's go, go out and have a look!"
”"Yes!"
Han Yi and Xiong Tingbi replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao came to the gate and saw a large group of people kneeling outside, including merchants, craftsmen, workers, people, and scholars."
Your Majesty, they appeared suddenly, it is estimated that there are no less than 100,000 people, and the whole outside is full of these people, saying that they are here to ask the emperor for help, what do you think should be done?"
Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of Zhu Youxiao's guards, reported to Zhu Youxiao.Xiong Tingbi hurriedly said at this time: "These people must have been instigated by someone, otherwise it would be impossible for them to dare to come directly to the emperor so boldly." ”"It's useless to pursue this now, first appease these people, Han Aiqing, you go, tell them that I will let them resume work and production within three days, and I won't let them be robbed because of a rebellion, and they will return to poverty and starvation!"
Zhu Youxiao said and ordered: "First distribute the one million gold and silver stored in the inner city of Nanjing as a temporary subsidy to stabilize their hearts, and then say that the imperial court has prepared tens of millions of taels of silver to help them!"
Let them not be in a hurry, and let them tell their relatives and friends that I will not make the life of the people of Jiangnan more and more difficult, but will only make everyone's life better and better!
”"Obey the order!"
Han Yi replied and walked out first.And Zhu Youxiao returned to the park and ordered: "Go and call Li Yongzhen, who is in charge of preparing for the Royal Bank!"
”As soon as Han Yi came out here, the Jiangnan Shimin who were noisy outside quieted down.After all, Han Yi was dressed in a royal python robe, and when a discerning person saw it, he knew that he was a high-ranking official."
Ladies and gentlemen!
Be quiet, please!
His Majesty has decreed that you will resume work and production within three days, so that merchants can re-operate their own industries, and workers can have a new job, for this reason, Your Majesty has prepared tens of millions of taels of cash as money to help you, how to help, and wait for the holy decree, now please go home and register with your household ticket to the county office, and then the temporary subsidy will be issued first!
”Han Yi spoke loudly, and then smiled."
It turned out to be Han Ge Lao, disrespectful!"
At this time, the member of his life said a word, and then turned around and shouted: "Everyone, the elder of the Han Pavilion is the elder of the three dynasties and an important minister of the imperial court, his words are naturally credible, let's go back!"
”"The emperor really cares about us!""
Yes, the emperor is willing to take care of it, it's great, those goods were burned by the rebels before, and I owe a lot of debts, and now if I can get back up, I don't have to jump into the river.""
Tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't know how the emperor will send it."…… The businessmen and people outside were all smiling and talking.As for Xu Xianchun, who was outside the door with Han Yi, he whispered to Liang Heng and instructed: "Send someone to keep an eye on the student who spoke just now." ”Liang Heng nodded.......
"It's really generous, I can't afford to reward the farmland, and all the shops, mansions, and workshops that have been confiscated are also auctioned off, and I refuse to give them away, but now I am so generous to these ordinary merchants and unemployed untouchables!"
”Xu Hongji, who had planned to assassinate Li Ruhua in the past, couldn't help gritting his teeth after learning that Zhu Youxiao was going to take tens of millions of silver to help the Jiangnan Shimin get out of the predicament, and then asked Dou Ding, a doorman sent by Zheng Yangxing, the governor of the left capital: "Since the imperial court wants to sprinkle silver, what should we do?"
”Dou Ding smiled and said, "Naturally, it's food!"
If there is more silver, the food will be more expensive!
Originally, because of the opening of the government-run textile industry, Jiangnan is already very short of food. ”Travel through the Ming Dynasty as a tyrant
