Chapter 1280: Change (1)
(Thank you Wu Ruidao for voting for your valuable monthly vote, thank Han Feizi for voting for your valuable evaluation vote, thank you.) )
Three years have passed, and the situation in the Central Plains has changed dramatically.
In terms of the official system, the structure and layout of Fuzhou and counties have undergone some small changes, and the jurisdiction relationship has been clarified, as the location of the state government level, it is slowly withdrawing from the stage of history, and the Great Jin Dynasty is dominated by the four levels of the imperial court, province, government and county, and the state government basically does not belong to the county, and many of the state government has been changed to the county government, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the government government.
In terms of administrative divisions, there are also gradual changes, following the establishment of Jiangsu Province, Hebei Province, Qinghai Province and other places have also been set up, the administrative division is more clear, should Tianfu no longer be set up separately, assigned to Jiangsu Province, the only separate establishment is Shuntianfu, because it belongs to the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, its level is slightly higher than the provinces.
The model of the army is completely fixed, the only army owned by the court of the Great Jin Dynasty is the Jiangning battalion and the forbidden army, of which the total number of soldiers in the Jiangning battalion is 500,000, stationed in the south and the north respectively, the forbidden army is mainly stationed in the capital, with a total number of 20,000 people, responsible for maintaining the security around the capital, the responsibility of the army is to maintain the security of the country, and can not meddle in local affairs.
The military household system has been completely abolished, and the military is divided into two identities, one is the professional soldier, the number of this part of the army is not large, after they enter the army, everything is guaranteed by the army, including reaching the age of 50, after retirement, the army is still paid, but this kind of professional soldier will slowly disappear. The reason why professional soldiers were set up is because at the beginning of the establishment of the Jiangning Battalion, a large number of soldiers entered the Jiangning Battalion, and they made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the imperial court would never abandon them.
The other category is conscripts. The army is also dominated by such sergeants.
Don't underestimate the recruitment of sergeants by the imperial court, there are a large number of people who sign up to enter the army, and the treatment in the army can attract many people, and the imperial court also has relevant regulations, if you are outstanding in the army, you can also get relevant recommendations, and even after leaving the army, you can directly become a local official.
The officers are fixed, and this part is typical of professional military men. The military academy of the Great Jin Dynasty was set up in the capital, it has been established for more than two years, and the military academy is similar to the martial arts examination of the Ming Dynasty before, but the time is slightly longer, after the military academy, you still need to study in the military academy for two to three years, and then guess that you can enter the army as an officer.
The promotion and appointment of officers is mainly carried out by military schools. There are also servicemen who have performed well in the army and have been promoted to junior officers. These people also need to go to military schools.
The division of responsibilities between the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War is also very clear, the Governor's Mansion, the Governor and the officials below are all professional soldiers, the Governor's Mansion is responsible for directly commanding the Jiangning Battalion, the Governor is one of the five prime ministers of the imperial court, the Governor is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Mansion is directly under the leadership of the emperor. The rest of the people are not allowed to interfere, as for the Ministry of War, except for the secretary of the Ministry of War and the squire of the Ministry of War, who are professional soldiers, the rest of the people are basically court officials, and the Ministry of War is mainly responsible for handling the daily affairs of the army. For example, the approval of the promotion of officers, the budget and expenditure of military salaries, and the contact between the army and the outside world, and so on.
The matter of banks and paper money that has caused huge repercussions in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty has long been widespread, commercial transactions are basically paper money, copper coins have disappeared, gold, silver and jewelry are rare, and the convenience of carrying and using paper money has been accepted by everyone, as for the bank, the business began to expand, whether it is the officials in the government, or the gentry and wealthy businessmen, or ordinary people, they basically have to deal with the bank, they have stored money in the bank, and they can take it out in all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.
There were once fears that the banknotes would depreciate and become worthless, but after a few years, the value of the banknotes has not changed in any way, and the imperial court has done its best to ensure the value of the banknotes, and has won the trust of everyone.
The trade in weapons and salt, the implementation of a monopoly, whether it is a merchant or a common people, is not allowed to touch, this is the direct control of the imperial court and the government, if anyone trades privately, will be severely punished.
The imperial court and the local tax sharing system has also begun to be implemented, but there is a lot of controversy about this matter, the south is still richer than the north, so the implementation of the tax sharing system, the officials in the south must be more pleased, and the officials in the north suffer some losses, in fact, the reason for the implementation of the tax sharing system in the imperial court is to let the local government have greater autonomy in finance and taxation, and the core purpose is to let the government have more money to invest in local construction, and the income of officials is higher, but Zhu Shenxuan and others believe that the implementation of the tax sharing system, As a result, there will be a big difference in the income of officials, and the money invested in construction at the local level can be resolved through coordination.
The responsibilities of the three provinces of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province are also very clear, but Shangshu Province has the most affairs, and Zhongshu and Menxia have more macro affairs, focusing on the discussion of many policies, and the authority of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has long been established, and officials at all levels love and fear the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The household department belongs to the six departments under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province is the busiest, and the number of officials is also the largest, especially after the Great Jin Dynasty adjusted the tax policy and the commercial tax was highlighted to the first place, the household department was more busy, in order to be able to better coordinate, the household department set up a special department of commerce and trade, and the business department was concurrently served by the right attendant of the household department, and most of the income of the imperial court was obtained from here.
The huge taxes on commerce and trade also surprised the Chinese military officials of the DPRK, who could not have imagined that the imperial court had always been mainly based on agricultural taxes, and they could not imagine that the tax income of the Dajin imperial court from commerce and trade exceeded 100 times that of agricultural taxes.
As for the unified issuance of paper money and the role of banks, the officials of the household department are the most clear, and there is no need to say much about the rest, but many vassal states, Houjin, Japan and the Western Regions and other countries, gold, silver and jewelry are deposited in all the banks of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the paper money issued by the Great Jin Dynasty has begun to circulate in the vassal countries, Houjin and Japan, and the paper money is very popular, its value is no less than gold and silver jewelry, and it is precisely because of the utility of banks and paper money that the wealth outside continues to flow into the Great Jin Dynasty.
At this time, the officials in the Great Jin Dynasty finally completely understood, why the emperor must insist on establishing a bank, why why do you want to issue paper money in a unified manner, it turns out that you can easily obtain outside wealth through banks and paper money, which is much more clever than sending troops to attack and plunder wealth.
In the life of the empathy, as well as the people, a few years, the government around the country to do the most things, is to build roads and improve water conservancy facilities, and at the same time began to solve the people's travel matters, these are closely related to the people's lives, in addition to the development of commerce, so that the people can find things to do in the agricultural slack season, the Jin Dynasty court canceled the restrictions on travel, the government to every person has issued a delicate card, this card has a personal situation, with this card, Able to travel everywhere.
Of course, there are differences in the development of commerce and trade, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian and Guangdong and other places are the most developed in commerce, and the bolder young people choose to go to these places to find things to do in the slack season, because the roads have been built, there have long been special businessmen, using horse-drawn carriages to transport, so there are more and more young people who go to these places to do things, and they have earned money, which can be sent home through the bank.
The situation in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty is unusually stable, at this time, you just take out a large amount of money, encourage anyone to rebel, and no one wants to come forward.
Agriculture is still a matter that the imperial court attaches great importance to, and it is also a matter that the local government must pay attention to, Shandong and other places, once because of the development of commerce and trade, did not attach so much importance to farming, as a result, the officials suffered from the punishment of the imperial court, directly adjusted, the emperor has a sentence that covers everything, the people take food as the sky, no matter when, food production is to be highly valued.
On the issue of household registration management, it is also a matter of debate in the imperial court, mainly the imperial examination in the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, which admitted a lot of people from vassal states, Japan and the Western Regions, and the household registration of these people did not belong to the official government at all levels of the Great Jin Dynasty, and then the imperial court introduced a system, anyone who wants to enter the imperial court as an official, must change the household registration, to put it bluntly, is to become the people of the Great Jin, but at this time, it is only limited to those who enter the official palace as officials.
But with the passage of time, more and more people from vassal states, Japan and the Western Regions came to the Great Jin, once they entered the capital or Shandong and other places, many people stayed, and many people even expressed their reluctance to go back.
In the fourth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, many people put forward a request that they must change their household registration, so that they are upright and upright people of the Great Jin Dynasty, so that they can smoothly enter the workshop to do things, and they can also lease land from the government to cultivate, and more importantly, they can get married and have children here, and take root in the local area, so the court discussed the matter of household registration again, this time the emperor raised objections, the main purpose is to control the number of outsiders, which makes many officials in the court feel strange, but the emperor insisted, The number of people who can change their household registration each year must be controlled.
In Beijing, Nanjing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, there are a lot of outsiders, especially in Beijing, the streets are full of blonde and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions, and the marriage of blonde and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions and the people of the Great Jin Dynasty has also generally appeared.
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Qian Qianyi and others, who are rich in knowledge, have long entered the Dajin Academy to teach and educate people, but this college, which is located in the former Ming Dynasty, is located where the former Ming Guozijian is located, and all the professors are high-level officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, as well as the Jinshi and Gongshi and Juren who began the imperial examination, and the academic research of Liu Zongzhou and others has also become popular.
(I have noticed a lot of opinions and suggestions from readers, and I will try to pay attention to these problems in the new book "Iron and Blood Crossing", thank you.) (To be continued......)
