Chapter 210: What is Abundance (Part II)


And almost all the ministers looked at Yang Ming.

Today Yang Ming had offended almost all the officials in the world.

"And what I call abundant food, wealth, and the number of students are just part of the abundance."

Yang Ming continued without surprising, and then continued: "To measure whether a place is wealthy, we should look at the following aspects."

"First, the average population in a standardized area is based on a medium-sized county.

The county has a population of 100,000.

Based on this, other counties must meet this standard for a long time when the land is almost equal.

Second, the population The average age of natural death in a county means that except for abnormal deaths, such as natural disasters, murders, vendettas, etc., the age of natural death is also a benchmark.

Third, the birth and mortality rate of fetuses are here We can see the health and medical conditions of the county, and then make a judgment.

Fourth, the popularization of education, which is what we often call the popularization of civilized education, directly affects people's intelligence, from village learning, books, teachings and school enrollment.

The number of children and the time limit can easily determine the education situation in a place.

The above points plus the grain tax and the living standards of the local population can then determine whether a county is truly wealthy."

Yang Ming talked eloquently.

He even only took out part of the so-called standard values ​​​​of wealth and poverty in later generations, but even so, the entire hall fell to the ground.

This standard is very simple.

It only requires an order from the imperial court to collect data from all over the country.

After all, these things are not difficult.

No matter which county you are in, there are six houses in charge.

Whether it is death, birth, or even education, you can also collect it from the local Where did Xuezheng collect the information?

However, they could even predict that with this standard of measuring wealth, almost half of the so-called rich counties would not meet the standard.

Because no one has ever mentioned these things before.

Although Yang Ming's standards seem a bit slap in the face.

But everyone present knows that only this assessment is the most correct The average population directly represents the local labor force.

The age of natural death of the population represents whether the local area has sufficient clothing and clothing.

The birth and death rate of fetuses are related to whether the medical and sanitary conditions are up to standard.

The popularity of village schools, books and the number of children in school directly represent the popularity of culture.

So when these conditions are met, how can this place be a poor county?

“Well said” The whole hall was silent, but Jiajing screamed.

It was the first time he heard such insightful comments about the rich and the poor.

Originally, he only regarded Yang Ming as a more profitable minister, but now it is different.

He felt that Yang Ming was more prominent in governance than in financial management.

To say these points so profoundly means that Yang Ming already has an idea.

If he can propose this rich-poor theory, the place he is about to take office will definitely implement it according to this standard.

"Yang Ming, what you said is very good, but you have to know that it is easy to say but not so easy to do.

The poorest county man you mentioned has at least twenty people in his head, and he can't eat them all.

Even if you are not well clothed or warm, I will not say that according to your standards, you can choose any one of the twenty counties here.

As long as you can be as wealthy as your hometown Hongcheng, I will open a way back to the capital for you when you come back. " It was Yan Song who spoke.

On the one hand, he stood up and said this to give the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty a step down.

On the other hand, he was also worried about Yang Ming.

After all, it is easier said than done.

The reason why many places are poor is because of their sparse population.

There is no local output at all, such as in Yunnan.

The whole world is covered with tropical rainforests, inhabited by a mixed population, full of mosquitoes and poisonous insects, not to mention growing crops.

There is not even an easy mountain road to walk on, and there are too many people living in those places who don’t even have a pair of shoes.

How can you expect to become a wealthy county in a place like this?

Therefore, he said that it was actually remarkable for Yang Ming to reach half of Hongcheng's standards.

At least that's what everyone present thought.

"Teacher" Yang Ming first bowed his hand to Yan Song, and then said with a smile: "The student has a brother named Zhang Wencai."

"Zhang Wencai" Yan Song was stunned.

He had never heard of this name before.

But someone answered immediately.

The person who answered Huang Jin only heard him say: "Zhang Wencai, a native of Hongcheng in Sichuan, a scholar in Suizhou Prefecture in the first year of Jiajing, and Yang Ming met in Hongcheng.

It is said that this man has a super memory.

I have a photographic memory, but I seem to lack understanding.”

"That's right."

Yang Ming nodded and said, "This brother of mine once said something.

The original text is that my brother Yang Zile is very talented and knowledgeable.

Although Yang Ming doesn't dare to ask for help, he is familiar with the articles of saints.

For me, It is very simple for the so-called poor to want to be rich.

All they have to do is hand over a county to me, whether it is Zhongxian or Xiaxian.

I only need three years for three years.

I will hand over three million taels of silver to the court.

Of course, I cannot hand it over in the first year.

What kind of money is needed to benefit the local people?”

"Yang Zile, your tone is too loud.

Did the water wash over you with three million taels of silver at that time?"

Yushitai Yushi was indignant.

What Yang Ming just said should have been what they said.

This is undoubtedly It seemed that they were a bit starved, and Yang Ming actually dared to say that he would pay three million taels of grain to the court within three years of giving him a county.

This was a bit deceptive.

You must know that even now, all the taxes in the entire Ming Dynasty add up to only four to five million taels of silver a year.

Of course, the income from businesses such as post tickets and spirits does not count, but even in such a poor county, let alone three Three million taels of silver per year, even if you can pay 300,000 taels of silver to get it, it is already an astonishing political achievement, and three million yuan is probably not enough to scrape three feet of land.

Since it's impossible, it's deceiving you.

"You don't have to believe what others say, but you have to believe what I say."

Yang Ming said calmly: "Do you dare to make a bet?

In three years, you will see how I paid three million taels of silver to the court.

What if I If you can't do it, you will die and thank the world.

If you can do it, you will be my master for three years."

"Liu Yi is not allowed."

Seeing Yang Ming place a bet, Yang Yanhe hurriedly tried to persuade the censor, and Liu Yi was exactly his name.

"It's settled."

Liu Yi immediately responded, then strode forward and walked directly to Jiajing three feet away, knelt down, and said loudly: "I, Liu Yi, the sixth-rank Zuodu censor, kindly request to be transferred to Yang Ming."

The county has a chief bookkeeper, one is responsible for the accounts and the other is to supervise whether Yang Ming has violated the law."

His voice was so loud that the entire hall could hear him clearly.

Jiajing looked at Yang Ming and saw that he was still smiling, and he felt happy at the moment: "It's done."
