The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 566

It has to be said that Qin Huan is undoubtedly the happiest one compared with the emperors of all dynasties.

Even the founding emperors of Qin Shihuang, Han Gaozu, Sui Yangdi and Tang Taizong should catch up with them.

Because Qin Huan was much simpler than those emperors who had more or less constraints on what they wanted to do and what policies they implemented, or had scruples and forces. Even if they had to work hard in the end, they had to work hard by themselves.

If you have any idea, you just need to make a rough idea, then hand it over to the relevant departments for implementation, and finally see the results. You don’t have to worry at all.

Even the details were supplemented.

Not only that, in just three days, Zhang Yan, with hundreds of female officials, compiled all Qin Huan’s ideas into a book, then supplemented and improved them, and even made a rough budget for the expenses, which was finally handed over to Qin Huan.

As the laziest emperor in history, Qin Huan naturally didn’t read the official documents one by one. Instead, he sat on the Dragon chair, squinting his eyes and enjoying the service of women, while listening to Zhang Yan read aloud by hand in his ear. He was just lazy to a new level.

“Well, it’s a good way to build two warehouses in this province.”

Qin Huan couldn’t help nodding his head when he heard their improvement plan for the warehouse. He didn’t care if it would damage his wisdom.

Because compared with the rough plan put forward by themselves, their modification is obviously more perfect and reasonable.

That is, each province has built two transit warehouses to store only rice, wheat, crude salt and ordinary cotton cloth.

In the future, all the four commodities needed by the Royal firms in all provinces will be transferred from the warehouses in the two transit stations, while other commodities will remain the same.

The two warehouses stock up according to the population of each province. Each warehouse must stock up the expenses required for half a year. Only when the things in one warehouse are sold out can the other be sold.

In other words, whenever the two warehouses add up, there must be a material amount of no less than half a year, which is completely managed by the Royal firm.

The advantage of hoarding in turn is that it can not only ensure that the food and salt in a warehouse will not deteriorate and mildew after hoarding for a long time, but also deal with the commodity shortage caused by natural disasters and traffic jams.

Moreover, the two warehouses are located separately. In case of emergency, they can be transported to all counties in the province in three days, no more than five days at most.

“Unexpectedly, your majesty has no objection. So it’s settled to build a warehouse for emergencies?”

After Qin Huan’s praise, Zhang Yan was relieved. She put down the booklet and picked up another one. She was obviously afraid that he would suddenly put forward some ideas to make trouble.

After all, the thoughts in their husband’s head are unrestrained. It’s not easy to serve them well. Fortunately, they have long been used to it.

“Well, send the official document back to Nanjing immediately and execute it immediately. The output is not enough to expand the production scale.”

Qin Huan waved her with a big hand, then pulled her into his arms with one hand, picked up the tea cup with the other hand, put it close to her mouth and said with a smile: “Princess Ai is hard, don’t be busy first, come on, have a cup of tea, moisten your voice and read…”

“Thank you, your majesty!”

Not in the palace, Zhang Yan didn’t blame him for his frivolous behavior, and all the women didn’t blame him, so she sat down and opened her mouth, but there was an unspeakable sweetness in her heart.

Although several women are envious, they also know that they can’t compare. They are queens, and they are just concubines.

After a whole afternoon, it was completely settled, and then stamped with a big seal, it was quickly sent to Nanjing. Flying pigeons sent letters, warehouses were established in all provinces, and banking reform was implemented by the interior government. The establishment of a national communication network was implemented by the Government Council.

The deadline was two years. Qin Huan didn’t care where the warehouse was built, how many items were appropriate, and the planning of the main line of the post station branch line. At that time, he would only check whether the results achieved his expected effect and were reasonable.

After these four things were arranged, Qin Huan also dropped a big stone in his heart and began to focus on the resettlement and reconstruction, the chieftain rebellion in Southwest China and the governance of the three grassland provinces.

As for the situation in North Korea, Vietnam and Dayuan Island, I don’t want to intervene for the time being. Anyway, even if the situation in the three places worsens again, it can’t exceed his control. Therefore, it’s better to add two new states and one province first.

On the grassland, there must be a military region called the northern military region, which has jurisdiction over about 20000 people. These 20000 people will be equipped with fire guns, sabers, war horses and short swords. They should not only be able to fight on horseback, but also be able to dismount and use fire guns.

The scope of the military region, that is, the entire Beiyuan Province, is bounded by the Yinshan Mountains in the South and the Arctic Ocean in the north. As for the East and west sides, it is temporarily to be determined.

However, the management of herdsmen in Beiyuan Province, Hezhou and liaozhou must be started. In the early stage, what he told the red warbler is only a general idea, which must be improved in detail. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the short term.

Qin Huan actually had a detailed plan for grassland management. Cleaning up the upper layer and dividing the lower layer was only the first step.

The second step is to build small cities in other water sources in addition to a large city at the provincial level in two states and one province.

Shops, government offices, schools, national guards, officials and banks should be built in the city. As for the Han people, they will not move.

The main thing is to adopt herdsman autonomy, that is, herdsmen can herd freely on their grassland and set up tents. Cattle, sheep, horses, leather and other things can be traded in the city, and then buy what they need.

At ordinary times, they don’t have to pay any taxes and are exempted from military service within 20 years, but knights and samurai should be ready for the imperial court to recruit to war at any time.

The laws to be observed are also very simple. No theft, no fighting, no cross-border grazing, and no burning of livestock manure are allowed. In case of minor violations, they will be fined, in case of serious reform through labor, or even beheaded.

Then there are four felonies. It is not allowed to rape other people’s wives and daughters, attack Han officials and soldiers, take the initiative to attack Han people, and rob other people’s property. In case of violation, they will be beheaded. If the circumstances are serious, they will also implicate their immediate relatives.

For those savage nomads, the more simple and rough, the better the effect. So there are only a few in total. After all, more will confuse them and become confused. They are afraid all day. If they are encouraged, they may rebel again.

Of course, if you feel that the local Han officials and judges are unfair, you can complain to the local supervision department. At that time, the supervision department of the interior government will set up a branch in each city, and the Royal envoy will visit once a year.

Generally speaking, the people don’t report and the officials don’t investigate. Usually, Han officials can’t control the herdsmen. Only when the herdsmen come to the city to report the case, Han officials will send constables to investigate, solve disputes and send troops to catch them.

However, the law that the herdsmen will abide by must be publicised in order to ensure that every herdsman understands that they can not do what they do and what punishment they will be punished. Similarly, the civil servants will clearly distinguish the pastoral areas, nail stakes, issue land deed, registered residence and so on.

In the future, the main income of herdsmen is to sell cattle, sheep, horses, wool, livestock manure, leather and dairy products.

There are millions of animals on the grassland. The feces produced every year are absolutely enough to fertilize the whole northern field. Therefore, Qin Huan will never let them burn. At that time, he will let the commercial firm buy them, transport them to the pass and sell them to the people.

As for what herdsmen burn, of course, they burn coal. Datong has plenty of coal. At that time, it will be processed into honeycomb briquette, and then the coal stove will be taken out to build a wooden track. I believe the cost will not be much higher.

In this way, when herdsmen have a great dependence on commercial grain in the customs, they will be inseparable from it in the future. In the implementation of the third step comprehensive education and compulsory soldier system, it is bound to achieve long-term stability and completely solve the hidden dangers on the grassland.
