Chapter 103 The world looks forward to Zhang Envoy Junsan
Chapter 102: The world looks forward to Zhang Envoy Jun
For the design ideas of the future summer system, Zhang Xuan may have a little. However, how to implement it is a big problem.
China's political precociousness is reflected in many aspects, including the bureaucratic system, the legal system, and so on. It is by no means something that can be easily figured out, and it is definitely not something that Zhang Xuan can use with the set of pruning scissors in later generations.
It must be adapted to local conditions.
But how to adapt measures to local conditions and establish a suitable system can satisfy Zhang Xuan himself. Leaving behind some ambushes who were more friendly to the development of science and commerce in later generations. It plays the role of what Zhang Xuan thinks, connecting the previous and the next.
In the past few years in Liangguang, Zhang Xuan has been thinking about this thing every time he is not on business.
But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it means a lot. Zhang Xuan's academic accomplishment was not enough to formulate such a system.
Every national system is not simply rules and regulations, the core of which is the concept of governance. Zhu Yuanzhang's set is an obvious small-scale peasant economy. And what kind of governing concept is not something that Zhang Xuan can decide alone.
Zhang Xuan said that in order to develop productive forces, the people below should also know what productive forces are.
This kind of problem made Zhang Xuan understand one thing more and more, if he wanted to complete the innovation of the summer system, he needed more talents to assist. And it's a scholar. It's just that in this regard, the Xia Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty combined are not as good as the relics of the former Ming Dynasty.
It's just that most of these capable people are unwilling to be second ministers. was unwilling to play for Great Xia, which made Zhang Xuan very distressed.
Now that the two of them came suddenly, for Zhang Xuan, it was almost equivalent to pie in the world. How could Zhang Xuan not pay attention to it, he didn't refuse the idea of Wang Jincai summoning him, and he must visit him to show his sincerity.
It's just that Zhang Xuan didn't expect it, or ignored the changes in today's general trend.
Sometimes, between the Qing and Xia, it is not who is better, but who is worse, what the Qing army did in Jiangnan has gathered the hearts of Zhang Xuan, and at this moment in Wuchang City, it is not only Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi.
Even after Gu Yanwu and the others entered the city, there were disciples and servants behind them, and they hired two donkeys to carry the salute, and slowly walked through the street, looking for a place to stay.
At this moment, Wuchang City is in a deformed prosperity.
Inside and outside the city of Wuchang, hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed, and judging from the salary of each soldier in 18 taels a month, the monthly salary of these 230,000 troops was astronomical. Of course, many soldiers could not reach this amount.
And for most of the soldiers, they also know the news that the big war is imminent.
It can be said that today they don't know if they will survive tomorrow
Go.
Of course, some soldiers saved their salaries and left them for their families at this time, but for many soldiers, in the troubled times, they had no family and no relatives, so it can be said that one person is full, and the whole army is not hungry, so at this time, they spend money desperately.
Due to Zhang Xuan's strict military discipline, and Zhang Xuan arranged for Qin Meng to patrol everywhere in the city, soldiers who dared to commit crimes were indispensable to a board. But taking advantage of the vacation to rest and spend money is not something that can be controlled by military law.
What the soldiers played was nothing more than eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but gambling was strictly forbidden by Zhang Zhen, so there were only some underground casinos, which were also sneaky, not to mention, although these Qiu Ba were controlled by military law, they did not dare to make a big move. But if you are really in a hurry, you must draw a knife to scare people.
Of course, whether it is a scare or not, only the person concerned knows.
It's really not a good gambler.
Gambling on one end is not working, and the other end is developing, that is, prostitution.
It's not just developed, it's been greatly developed. Hundreds of thousands of able-bodied men are enough to support a sizable fireworks market. For this matter, Zhang Xuan also wanted to prohibit it. But it can't withstand the surge of human affection below.
First of all, in this big war, there are too many recruits under Zhang Xuan's command.
Many of these recruits have not yet tasted femininity, and they are about to go to war, which is a little unreasonable. There is even an unwritten rule in Cao Ying, that is, before the war, these hairy boys must be allowed to open meat. Some people even suggested that Zhang Xuan set up a camp prostitute.
Zhang Xuan couldn't do such a thing as a prostitute, so he had to retreat to the next best.
Secondly, Zhang Xuan also collected a large amount of money from this bustling flower willow market.
Although Zhang Xuan was a little embarrassed to levy taxes from prostitutes, he was a little embarrassed to bear the expenses of millions of people, which made Zhang Xuan give up all his face. And in the eyes of many civil officials, this is a very normal thing, collecting taxes from prostitutes and women has been almost ancient, and even in the Republic of China.
In modern times, there are still shameless people who propose to re-establish prostitutes-women, and impose heavy taxes as regulation. It can be seen that the shamelessness of men is the same throughout the ages.
If this amount of money is less, Zhang Xuan may be able to refuse to accept it, when he found out that it was one or two thousand taels of silver every month, and even now that the situation is tense, this money has increased greatly, and even said that a considerable part of the military salary issued by Zhang Xuan has flowed to this place.
Therefore, this is only in Wuchang City, in addition to Wuchang City, other cities may be less, but the accumulation of small amounts is also a big entry of hundreds of thousands of taels a year, so how can Zhang Xuan give up.
What's more, Zhang Xuan's finances have always been very tight.
For the sake of this money, shamelessness is shamelessness.
The third is the refugees in Wuchang City.
Regardless of it, from the north
Fang escaped, but escaped from Sichuan, or escaped from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, anyway, in Wuchang City, there are all kinds of refugees, and there is a feeling of overcrowding.
Many of the recruits recruited by Zhang Zhen were selected from among these refugees. Zhang Zhen has thought of many ways to resettle the refugees. But any disaster relief operation must have money, Zhang Xuan has no money, and even said that he is short of money, and the shortage is very bad. Before the life and death crisis, Zhang Xuan's money had to be invested in the army.
Although cruel, there is no way to do it.
Although Zhang Zhen united many wealthy families to help refugees, it was also a drop in the bucket. This fireworks business has absorbed a lot of refugees, although it is a little undignified, but surviving this year is the most important thing. The largest employment opportunity, how can Zhang Xuan be banned.
Zhang Xuan also blamed himself very much in his heart, but he could only be like an ostrich, just as he couldn't see it.
And what Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi saw was this Wuchang City full of the smell of fireworks.
It seems that all the inns, but most of the houses on the street, are engaged in this kind of business. After Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu inquired carefully, although they lamented how difficult the people's livelihood was. But I don't want to have anything to do with these people.
Therefore, he could only find a place to settle near the palace of the King of Chu, that is, the palace where Zhang Xuan now lives.
After all, the vicinity of the palace of the king of Chu are all the yamen of Great Xia, the six departments, the Privy Council, and so on, although these yamen are only temporarily borrowed from the people's houses to build, but they still pay attention to decency, so needless to say, no one dares to do such business in this area.
Of course, such a business is not uncommon.
Prostitutes and women who serve officials are not at all the same way as those who want to get a bite to eat among the refugees. Even if these people are in business, they are much more elegant. You can't see it from the outside.
It's just that the timing is not coincidental. Gu Yanwu searched for many places, but he couldn't find a suitable place to stay.
The reason is simple, there is a feeling of overcrowding in Wuchang City.
After Zhang Xuan ruled in Wuchang and unified Great Xia, after the Battle of Yunnan and the Battle of Xiangyang, these two victories determined the foundation of Great Xia, and also emboldened some people. Coupled with the need to rebuild the central system, a large number of officials are needed.
In extraordinary times, Zhang Zhen did not pay so much attention to the selection of officials, and he almost could use them.
For a time, many local scholars in Wuchang became high-ranking officials in Daxia in one day. This kind of encounter also made many readers in Hubei envious, and I didn't know if Zhang Xuan could stand firm. Naturally, they were not in a hurry, but now seeing that Daxia would not seem to be able to die for a while, they naturally ran over in a hurry like a cat that smelled fishy.
For a while, Wuchang City was almost crowded.
Of course, not all the people who came to Wuchang at this time were like this.
