People need to have goals, and the same is true of the state, like the Manchus, who had no goals, or the goal was only to maintain the rule of the Manchus.

So everything this country has done since its birth has been to maintain the rule of the Manchus, so restricting firearms, promoting literary prisons, not wanting to make progress, and only seeking to maintain its rule, will naturally make the entire civilization stagnate or even backward.

Wang Yan believes that the country needs goals, not just the pursuit of peace in the world as before, and such an empty thing must have a clear goal.

For example, after having this goal, the imperial court will be able to operate quickly around this goal administratively, open trade routes to encourage commerce, train new troops, and manufacture new equipment, and the dynasty will show great vitality.

In the previous dynasties, most of them had problems and then thought of ways to solve them, and rarely took the initiative to set a goal, just seeking peace for now.

A dynasty is very different when it has a goal and when it doesn't. Qin said that he wanted to change the law to become stronger, and the sixth generation swept Liuhe.

Change and change should be carried out at all times, because the activities of the whole society are in motion, and if we do not follow its steps closely, once we stop changing and are content with the status quo, then after a long time, the problems will be serious, and it will be too late to change them.

Wang Yan's "New Chapter of Senior Administration", some changes to the cabinet, the main purpose is to let the cabinet have one goal after another and maintain vitality.

Every cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty was generally a court official, such as the household department Shangshu before entering the cabinet, when making a plan in the council hall, he must declare that after he enters the cabinet, how much the imperial court's taxes will increase in a year, or how much land will be reclaimed, and how much the population will grow, must be implemented to a specific value.

If it cannot be completed, when the official is evaluated, then the official who should be demoted will be demoted, and the official who should be put in the local area will be put in the local area.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the cabinet and the administration of the scholars will be increased, and the competition among officials will be strengthened, and when the officials who have been driven to become local officials return to the central government with their political achievements, they will have stronger administrative ability because they understand the people's feelings and have experience in governing the party, so that the cabinet can always ensure that there are capable ministers.

In the past, as long as the university did not make mistakes and the country was stable, they could stay in the cabinet, but now as long as their political performance does not improve compared to their predecessors, they may be taken down.

There are so many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there are only seven cabinet bachelors, and many officials also want to be in the phase.

This has enlivened the atmosphere of officialdom and corrected the atmosphere. As long as the officials have outstanding political achievements, they can be crowned marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, they can focus on the competition for political achievements, and they can also prevent a group like Donglin from coming out again.

If the cabinet scholars sit on the ass for ten years, and the people below cannot climb up, I am afraid that there will be great resentment, either they have no hope for the promotion and slack off on the administration, or they will be depressed and have complaints about the imperial court.

In this way, even within the same party, the competition will be fierce, after all, everyone wants to do it.

If a county's population does not grow, the area of cultivated land decreases, and the number of Mongolian schoolchildren decreases, the county officials will also be demoted.

To do so is to force officials to have goals so that they cannot slack off.

Officials naturally didn't like this, but Wang Yan had just recovered Shenjing and moved to the prison state, and basically no one dared to oppose it at this time.

In addition to the changes in the cabinet and officialdom, the main content of the new chapter of senior administration is placed on the organization of households and the people.

With the disintegration of the original social structure of the Ming Dynasty and the influx of a large number of people into the cities, Wang Yan felt that it was time to re-census the population, and on the basis of the Guiyi and Han nationality systems proposed by Wang Fuzhi, the Han nationality was further subdivided, according to merit, assets or taxes, and the Han people were divided into upper households, middle households, lower households, or more classes, and then collected taxes according to the ranks, arranged labor and enjoyed some rights and interests.

The entire "New Chapter of Information Administration" has laid down many new policies to focus on these two major aspects.

For example, in the first article of the opening chapter, the emperor appointed the state affairs to supervise the state, and all decrees thereafter were issued by the imperial court.

This is the basis of the whole reform, he prevented the emperor from promoting officials because of personal preferences, and also abolished the emperor's power to take over officials without justice, so that the order of the court is the only order, and the reform has authority.

This in itself is beneficial to the cabinet, and after a generation, this can become the consensus of the Ming Dynasty government and the opposition.

Article 2: Han people who are registered in the council are qualified to put forward various suggestions and questions to the officials of the council, and the officials of the council have the responsibility to report the problems to the court and question the administration of the court.

The upper household registration here is not fixed, the imperial court counts every year or three years, and if the bankruptcy is demoted, the lower household registration can also be promoted to the upper household registration.

In addition to reducing the taxes borne by the common people, the status of merchants can also be increased to encourage commerce.

If a merchant pays more taxes, he can be rated as a high-ranking household, and together with the famous scholars and squires and landlords, he can squeeze into the household and improve his social status.

Article 3, revise and supplement the laws of the Ming Dynasty and improve the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Fourth, the provinces were encouraged to widen official roads, mine mines, smelt metals, encourage commerce, and the imperial court restored post stations for the purpose of transmitting government decrees, allowing the people to transmit letters and transport goods through post stations, and encouraging merchants to go to sea for trade.

Article 5: All provinces shall open schools, and each county shall have an official Mongolian school. Nanjing Guozijian and provincial schools need to teach miscellaneous studies. The imperial examination is not limited to the Eight Shares, the Township Association Examination and the Birth Examination, but also has questions on history, politics, current affairs, and the Four Books and Five Classics.

Article 6 is to develop eastern Liao, relocate people to fill Liao, and border areas to stabilize the territory.

Seventh, train land and naval divisions, build warships, and keep trade routes unimpeded.

Article 8: Restore the etiquette of the Song system.

Article 8 Encourage invention and reward and sponsor talents·····

"The New Chapter of Senior Administration" is only a general outline of governance issued by Wang Yan, and it is a number of goals he set for the Ming Dynasty, many of which still need to be negotiated in the council, but the new official took office with three fires, and his first fire was ignited, and immediately caused a shock and fierce discussion between the government and the opposition, the most intense of which was the reform of household registration.

As soon as the first fire was lit, Wang Yan started his second fire, preparing to reward those who had made meritorious contributions. After all, he is in the prison country, and the people below also need to be rewarded, so they can't be ambiguous.

The soldiers threw their heads, spilled their blood, fought on the battlefield, and helped Wang Yan ascend to the throne of the prison country, saying that they were just to recover the rivers and mountains and be loyal to the country, which was a bit nonsense, and what they valued more was the actual reward.

Wang Yan is naturally clear about this, but this reward is not simple, because this expedition, the Ming army used more than 300,000 horses, and there are thousands of generals and colonels who want to be promoted, which is very troublesome to count, but Wang Yan knows the importance of this matter, and he must be careful, so after submitting the "New Chapter of Senior Administration" to the council hall, he rushed to the cabinet non-stop.

Although Wang Yan was appointed as a prisoner of the state, the operation mode of the Nanjing court did not change.

In the afternoon, Wang Yan came to Wenyuan Pavilion, his status was respected, and as soon as he came in, he had to salute from the cabinet ministers to the small officials.

As soon as he walked into Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Huangyan also hurriedly entered the door, he walked in a hurry and didn't notice Wang Yan, Wang Yan couldn't help but shout when he saw this: "What's the matter with Xuan?" ”

Hearing his voice, Zhang Huangyan stopped, he was slightly stunned when he saw Wang Yan, and saluted: "The minister has seen the prison country!" ”

Wang Yan saw that he had a notebook in his hand, so he pointed his finger and asked, "What is the emergency military situation?" Is there a change in the Jin Kingdom or Mongolia? ”

After the destruction of the Manchu Dynasty, in Wang Yan's view, there were only these two threats to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Huangyan said: "Back to the prison country, it is Nanyang, Heyi wantonly killed my Ming merchants in Batavia, and thousands of people have died!" ”
