Chapter 100: Tentative pros and cons to build five roads

If the postman is not allowed to compensate, then the postman will naturally take all the income from the official land as his own, and if they are allowed to compensate, as the minister of the court and the central government said, there will be a worry of bankruptcy.

The sage told the fourth concubine that if this was the case, all the post guards would be handed over to the lowly refugees, and that the money would be paid by those who should serve. With this amount of money, plus the fields, it shouldn't be difficult for the postman to raise horses.

Concubine Wen told the sage that the rich family could afford it, but what about the poor?

Concubine Wen thinks that it is better to divide the land and the post pawn into two parts, which allows the displaced people to grow official fields to raise horses, and the post keeper still continues to do the work of hospitality.

The money for raising horses is also paid by the government, and the homeless people levy a fixed amount every year.

"Your method, isn't it just to lease the official land to them?"

The sage couldn't help but smile and told Concubine Wen that in this case, many people would come to rent official land, but instead waste their own fields.

Concubine Wen said that there is a certain quota, and each household raises a horse, so that even if others want it, there is no way.

"If this is the case, I am afraid that the nobles will encroach on it, and then the rich will avoid taxes and silver, and the poor will still not benefit."

Concubine Wen thought about it and told the sage that this was going to be investigated by the Four Holy Divisions, and if anyone did so, they would be severely punished, and since ancient times, there was no perfect way, and the law of the sage also changed with time.

The saint didn't say anything more, and the next thing was for the minister to discuss, he was not a saint who liked to be rigid and arbitrary, he always hoped that everyone would do it.

This time has been until after the Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Jishan played several times, talking about the pros and cons, and the sage always saw the disadvantages, so he raised it again.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, the saint arrived at the Ice Palace, and after Princess Jianwen saluted, she saw that the saint had a sad look between her eyebrows, so she whispered to ask the saint what was on his mind.

"It's not Chu Zhaoyin, he said a method, this method is good, but it has drawbacks."

"Father, children are brave, this has been a disadvantage since ancient times."

"If there is no benefit and can not change the law of the ancestors, now the law of the post house has been more than 400 years, quite complete, if there is a change, then do not see its benefits, but see its harm. Speaking of which, this is what Chu Jishan told me, saying that you should be cautious when you are a king, but I didn't expect that it had only been a year, and Chu Jishan had forgotten about his own strategy. ”

Lin Bingmei also got the news at this time, and came to meet the saint, and the saint said goodbye to Lin Bingmei and asked Lin Bingmei what should be done about this matter.

Lin Bingmei said that the sage's concerns were well-founded, during the Chen Dynasty, many people were harmed by the post house, and all the expenses of the post house at that time had to be borne by the post house.

Later, the Wei Dynasty unified the post house, the imperial court contributed money, and the post man contributed, and the two sides were naturally happy.

When Lin Bingmei said this, she changed her words and told the sage that this matter may not be impossible, the post house is still paid by the imperial court, and as for the post house, you can let the big families hire homeless people.

Concubine Wen said, horse farmers are not okay, this world can only grow horse material, and can not plant others, the court confiscated part of this thing, and the rest, the court paid for it.

In this way, large families will naturally not compete with these people, and the local post will also register this data in the register, and check it every three years, and it will be okay to compare the number.

Lin Bingmei didn't say anything about the drawbacks, this drawback is naturally that if the world is turbulent, then the court can't afford to give money, and it is impossible for these people to make a living from horse feed, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of displaced people at that time.

But that was too early, and now that the treasury of the dynasty is full, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

The sage thought about it for a while, and thought that this was not bad, but in fact, this was also aggravating Ding Yin in disguise, and this big family was naturally unwilling to do a loss-making business, as for the homeless, it was enough to have land to plant, and not to die of hunger.

Although this is like a heavy tax, on the surface, it is nothing, and it will not make the saint fall into the infamy of extortion.

So the sage found Jiuqing to talk about this matter again, and when everyone was talking, the sage came forward from time to time to refute these people, everyone was a human spirit, and knew that the sage was ready to carry out this this time, and then said his own stupid and ignorant clichΓ©s, and he also obeyed the sage's will.

Jiuqing agreed, even if there were objections from the hundred officials, there were only a few people, and as for these people, the saints did not put them among the crowd.

So this matter began to be discussed, and in addition to this, the saint had another matter, which he had not consulted with the ministers, and announced it in the mix.

That is to build a road, and the sage took out a map before the ministers.

Above it is a map of the Yu Dynasty, with the roads that crisscross it. The sage told them that this should be to build a road with the capital as the center.

There are a total of thirty avenues handed down from the Wei Dynasty, and the sage wants to build six more, one of which is from Tianshan Pass to Anxi Duhufu.

There is no surprise to everyone about this, and Emperor Wu was preparing to build it.

This second one, that is, the second pass to Nantong City, within the second pass, used to be Tusi's, although there are roads, but they are all small roads, not official roads.

So the sage wanted to build one, and the requirement of this road was that the news of Nantong City would go to Yong'an City in seven days at most, which was specially used to deliver news. The purpose of this is naturally to worry that the southern country will go north when the time comes, and the news will not be delivered in time.

The third is from Xiangyun Mansion to Huaihua Mansion, this road is the road from Huaihua Mansion to Dajin Mountain when Xiangyun Mansion was pacified.

The purpose of the sage to build this road is that if the second pass is taken away in the future, then you can also enter Xiangyun Mansion from Dajin Mountain and other places, so as not to be passive.

The fourth is the trade route from Yi'an Province to the south, which is nominally to facilitate the arrival of southern merchants, but in fact, everyone knows that this is to avoid the Dangshan and make the southern defense line useless.

Even if the south does not allow it, the Yu Dynasty can repair to the border line, and it will be much easier to move the army at that time.

The fifth is to dig a waterway, starting from the Mingyue Lake in the capital, passing through Jinghuai, entering the Xuanhe River, if there is something in the imperial court, then you can follow this canal and go south to the southern capital.

The sixth one, contrary to everyone's expectations, was to build a road from Fengcheng to Huaihua Mansion, and this road did not need to pass through Xianhe Mansion.

These five land routes, everyone is not surprised, but the waterway opposition is very large, everyone told the sage, now the capital has the convenience of two rivers, there is no need to dig more waterways, and this road is mostly fertile land, this waterway dug a lot of arable land.

The opposition of the crowd was too great, and the saint went to cancel the statement of the waterway, and as for the rest, the saint did not change.

In addition to repairing these five roads, other roads have to be expanded, in the past, the Wei Dynasty only piled up soil on both sides, and after a long time, it collapsed, which still has to be planted according to the ancient system.

Some people say that this is too costly, and the sage told everyone that this is a benefit in the present generation, and the merit is in the future, and if this road is perfect, then the imperial court can mobilize the army quickly.

The saint didn't explain much to them, and let the people of the local government be responsible.

After retiring from the dynasty, Concubine Ya advised the sage that although the roads should be built in all dynasties, just like the sage, he had to build five roads, and some of the old roads had to be repaired, but he was afraid that the people of the world would have many inconveniences.

"I also did it to reduce the number of displaced people, this time to repair, those people will naturally pay for it, and when the time comes, the displaced people will build the road, and naturally it will not add to the chaos."

When the sage said this, he told Concubine Ya: "Now that the nobles have a lot of spare money, and the court has taken such an action, they should also be generous." ”

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will only say that they are shy and willing to serve."

Concubine Ya said with a smile that the sage said that he would set an example and halve his meals this year.

"The saint is already thrifty enough, if it is ......halved again," Concubine Ya said worriedly, and the saint smiled and said, "Even if I halve it, it will be better than the food and clothing of the people in the world." Now that there are so many displaced people, if I can exchange my meal for their well-being, it will be worth it. ”

After Concubine Ya heard this, she naturally praised the sage for being an unprecedented Ming monarch in ancient times, and the sage didn't say anything more, he issued an edict to say this.

The princes are not fools, the saints have expressed their positions in this way, and they have also made their statements, but they will not halve, but symbolically, give thousands of dollars.

The saints didn't expect much from them, it was enough to have this meaning, and the matter began to be done.

After Chen Shihong got the order, he also began to set up a rush shop, and according to the emperor's book, he began to arrange the affairs of the errand service.

He naturally arranged it first for big households and then for civilians, and when he was writing the roster, a gentleman Zhou found him.

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Master Zhou asked Chen Shihong how to arrange it.

After Chen Shihong said it, Master Zhou sighed and said: "Master, we are all scholars, I am a little crazy how old I am, I have seen the world, I don't know if I should say a sentence?" ”

Chen Shihong let Master Zhou have no scruples, he can say whatever he wants, and Master Zhou said to Chen Shihong: "Master Chen, this gentleman's belongings are exchanged for ten years of hard work, and this court monk should have been given preferential treatment, but once he serves, he will be a soldier first, and then a farmer, so how can he have preferential treatment." The court is like this, there are such words of raising scholars, but there is no fact of raising scholars, doesn't it make the scholars feel cold. ”

When Chen Shihong heard this, he asked Master Zhou, what should he do if Master Zhou said this.

This week, the gentry said to Chen Shihong: "Master Chen, from the point of view of the little old man, it is natural to treat everyone equally, Shilin and peasants are one, according to the order of compilation." ”

Chen Shihong felt funny in his heart, this imperial book was compiled first in the countryside and then in the county, if it was really according to the catalog, I was afraid that if this road was repaired, these gentry might not be able to serve.

He said that this would not work, this was explained by the sage, and he couldn't be the master of a small county.
