In addition, for more than half a year, Xiao Tianjian stayed in Beijing, in addition to paying attention to the situation in Liaodong, but also concerned about the epidemic in the north, he was most worried about the bubonic plague in the north, in this year, there was no large-scale outbreak as in history, due to the early pacification of the north, and the Taiyi Bureau and local governments were ordered to pay attention to the control of the epidemic in the north, although in April at the beginning of the year in the Xuanda area and the Baoding Mansion area of Hebei, there were indeed some small-scale epidemics, but according to the reply of the Taiyi Bureau, Outbreaks in these places are not bubonic plagues, but general epidemics.

Due to the attention of the government, this epidemic was discovered very early, and the Taiyi Bureau prepared in advance, and immediately mobilized a large number of drugs into the epidemic area once it was discovered, and in accordance with Xiao Tianjian's will, sent troops to block the epidemic area, and cremated the bodies of the deceased and buried them deeply, and at the same time distributed preventive drugs in the epidemic area, set up a pesticide application office for drug application, and treated the infected people free of charge, and also sprinkled the epidemic area, so this small-scale epidemic did not spread on a large scale and was quickly extinguished.

After entering the winter, the large-scale plague that may have occurred in history did not appear in the north, which also made Xiao Tianjian completely relieved, and he no longer had to worry about this matter.

In addition, because the Great Chinese Dynasty has already decided to set the capital of Beijing, after the earliest agreement on this matter, some businessmen with a keen sense of smell began to lay out in the north in advance, Beijing was originally the political and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Great Chinese Dynasty wants to set up the capital of Beijing, and it is certain that the north will prosper again in the future, so some businessmen have consciously advanced to the north to purchase industries, although the Great China and North Korea have launched measures to restrict the annexation of land, but they have encouraged businessmen to invest in the north to set up various industrial industries, and at the same time introduced various measures. Encourage immigrants from the south to the north and even from Shaanxi to fill the land that has been drastically reduced in population caused by natural and man-made disasters in the north over the years.

Therefore, in the past two years, the merchants and immigrants in the south, encouraged by these policies, have emigrated to the north, and the imperial court of the Great China and the DPRK has also continuously introduced various measures to guide the change of the agricultural structure in the north, one is to vigorously promote the new high-quality seeds bred by the agricultural sector, and in addition, a large area has been expanded to plant crops with high yield and drought tolerance, such as corn and sweet potatoes, and at the same time, through the south, potatoes have been introduced, and potatoes have begun to expand in the north, so as to improve the planting structure in the north. Increase the yield of farmland in the north.

Moreover, in order to improve the dietary structure of the Chinese and improve the nutrition of the Chinese diet, Xiao Tianjian vigorously encouraged the development of animal husbandry, especially the breeding of chickens, ducks and geese, pigs, cattle and sheep at home, and encouraged people to use the vacant land in the fields as much as possible to plant vegetables and high-yield pumpkins and other crops, so as to guide farmers to better meet their needs.

In terms of taxation, in fact, the Great Chinese Dynasty did not reduce the taxes imposed on the people, and even higher than the tax collection amount of the Ming Dynasty, but the reason why the people of the Ming Dynasty could not afford the taxes of the imperial court was not that the taxes were too high, but that the lower-level officials and officials increased the various additional fees and fees when collecting taxes, and there were many clever things, which was something that the people hated.

After the money was collected, it did not enter the treasury or the local treasury, but let the officials and officials at all levels give income into their private pockets, forming a vicious circle in the Ming Dynasty, everyone acted according to these unspoken rules, and the burden of the people increased day by day, which led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances and the wave of civil rebellion.

However, after the establishment of the Great China Dynasty, in view of these malpractices, various measures were introduced one after another, first to increase the income of officials, that is, the high salary and clean government policy he proposed, the salary of officials in the Great China and North Korea exceeded the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty by several times, and a sum of money was also taken out every year to evaluate the performance of officials, and officials with good performance in the assessment could also get a considerable reward.

In addition, the salaries of the officials were also changed to be borne by the state, and they were also given relatively high salaries, although this obviously increased a considerable financial burden, but incorporated a large piece of gray income into the state management system.

Some of the things that the officials did secretly in the past were classified into the formal way to solve the problem of the livelihood of the lower-level officials, so that they could support their families with their salaries.

In addition, the implementation of an improved version of the whip law, apportionment into acres and other policies, re-clean and measure the land, customize the new tax amount, to avoid those landlords through various means to hide the field, avoid the field tax, as far as possible to be fair, who has more land, who pays the tax will be higher, the more land to pay the tax amount will be higher, effectively inhibiting the landlord's enthusiasm for land annexation.

After setting up these systems, all localities were strictly ordered to cancel all kinds of messy additions and fees like the old Ming Dynasty before, and then went on to rectify the former dynasty officials, and all localities liquidated the officials of the previous dynasty, killed a large number of notorious officials in various parts of the former dynasty, and stabilized the locality, and most importantly, through these means, canceled the various burdens imposed on the people.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian ordered the local governments to hand over the financial revenues to the Bank of China for escrow, and used the Bank of China to manage the local financial accounts as an agent, so that the local officials did not handle money and goods, and naturally they could no longer collect any fire consumption and other things, and cut off some ways for officials to make money, can live with a full stomach, has a little pocket money in his hand, can wear clothes to cover his body and protect himself from the cold, and wants them to copy the rebels of the court again, and there is no door!

So in the past few years, the common people have seen that their lives are getting better day by day, and every time after the harvest of summer and autumn grain, they can save some grain for them to eat, and the bandits in various places have naturally begun to disappear.

The financial revenue of the Great Middle Dynasty from the first year, the financial revenue of the first year was less than five million taels of silver, and by the beginning of the fourth year, it had surged to nearly 20 million taels, almost reaching the highest stage of the Ming Dynasty's financial revenue, and the next growth space is still very huge, and the household department even optimistically estimated that by the end of the fifth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, if nothing else, the financial revenue of the Great Middle Dynasty exceeded 30 million taels of silver There is no problem.

Of course, the income is high, and the expenditure is also high, Xiao Tianjian aimed to set up all kinds of new schools and open all kinds of mining and metallurgy all over the country, and in addition, he asked all localities to build roads, repair and dredge rivers, build various farmland and water conservancy facilities, improve the land, and so on.

In order to monitor the situation of financial expenditures in various localities, Xiao Tianjian, after careful consideration, aimed to set up a general audit bureau under the Supervision Yuan, and the money spent by various provinces, prefectures, and counties would be audited by the General Audit Bureau, and the officials below the provincial government would make a lot of money from the financial expenditures through these things.

In this way, in the fourth year of Tianyuan, the General Audit Bureau found hundreds of cases of corruption of ink through such an audit alone, for the corrupt ink officials, Xiao Tianjian was ruthless, although he did not take the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, to skin them and grass, but he ordered to confiscate his family property, criminal officials should be killed, should be assigned to the labor camp of labor reform, and even if they are not sentenced to beheading, the sentence of life is also extremely heavy, many corrupt officials and officials, in addition to being sentenced to lifelong labor reform, never released, but also after the verdict, Regardless of whether they are guilty of capital crimes or live crimes, before serving their sentences, they first strip them naked in the place where they committed the crime and parade them in the streets, and then send them back to their hometowns to parade in the streets, so that they are embarrassed and thrown at their doorsteps, and finally those who should be killed are killed, and those who should be sent to labor camps are sent to labor camps to serve their sentences.

For these officials, this kind of punishment should make them feel much more afraid than being sentenced to be beheaded, those who can be officials are scholars, and the heart of shame is relatively heavy, and for them, they can glorify their ancestors, but when they commit the crime of greedy ink, they will be stripped naked and paraded in the streets and have to return to their hometown to do it again, so that they will be completely disgraced, in addition to their personal shame, the whole family will be humiliated with them, and the members of their family will not be able to raise their heads in the local area for a long time. Everyone shouted and beat them like rats crossing the street, which undoubtedly frightened them more than killing them.

In addition, Xiao Tianjian issued an edict stipulating that every year officials and officials at all levels and localities should visit the labor camps in various places to personally experience the work and food of the prisoners in the labor camps for one day, so as to serve as a warning to the officials.

The number of prongs, the officials think about it carefully, now the imperial court to give them a salary, is really not low, enough for them to live a very decent life, if they are because of reaching out to make money and committing crimes, it will be greatly not worth it, so the big China and the DPRK take the money in one hand to implement the policy of high salaries and clean up, and the other hand to fight corruption with a knife and a heavy fist, or play a very good role, coupled with the independent supervision power of the Supervision Yuan as supervision, the independent trial power of Dali Temple, so that the protection of officials and officials has also been greatly curbed, It effectively prevented the occurrence of a nest case with a rotten nest, so that it was not easy for the officials to endanger themselves from the matter of greedy ink, and there was a new atmosphere in the world.
