Chapter 1161: The sensation of the New Deal

There are still nearly two months before the time of attacking Nanzhili, and during this time, Su Tiancheng will not be idle, he focuses on the implementation of relevant measures, that is, the new policy in his mind, which must be gradually implemented.

Fujian and Zhejiang carried out large-scale changes in full accordance with the model of Shandong, all the guards were abolished, the land was taken over by the government, the military household system was completely abolished, including the artisan household system no longer existed, taxes began to be adjusted on a large scale, and the development of commerce and trade became an important responsibility of the local government, and the privileges of the gentry and wealthy began to be restricted.

One of the most striking is that there has been a great change in the salaries of officials.

Of course, with the improvement of the salary, the government has also carried out a large-scale repeal, the southern government at all levels, because of some special reasons, the number of officials is relatively large, in some places even reached hundreds of people, the officials are fixed, but there are very many officials, and there are some officials who do not have a salary, etc., this itself is the embodiment of the official-oriented thinking, officials need a large number of people to serve, need to reflect their own dignity, but this time the repeal, all in accordance with the overall requirements.

The main functions of the inspection department, that is, to maintain public order, arrest thieves and so on, and these matters have become the main functions of the inspection department.

It is said that it is somewhat difficult to make large-scale changes to the government, but this time it was carried out very smoothly, because officials at all levels knew that this decision was made by Su Tiancheng, and Su Tiancheng took the lead in implementing it, Su Tiancheng has established himself as the king of Germany, and Zhu Xianxin has also become the princess. But the place of residence is still in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Dengzhou, and the number of people in the family has not increased, let alone in accordance with the previous rules, the house of the Governor's Mansion has been expanded on a large scale, it is said that someone has put forward such a suggestion, but it has encountered Su Tiancheng's opposition. He also warned everyone not to expand the Governor's Mansion.

Up and down, since Su Tiancheng can be strict with himself, what else is there to say below.

The officials are basically in favor of this move, their income has been improved on a large scale, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting their families, even if they ask for a few concubines, there is no big problem, not to mention the Qingming in the officialdom. It also allows those officials who are willing to do things to be useful.

As for the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department and the branches of the Dali Temple, it is a huge shock for many officials, all the officials know what the Metropolitan Procuratorate does, and the Imperial Court is very different, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can directly deal with the officials of the three grades, if they are found to be derelict in their duties. Or if it is corrupt, the end will definitely be miserable.

Another change. It is the revision of the Daming Law, which is also insisted on by Su Tiancheng, mainly the revision of the death penalty, the previous death penalty was varied, the most powerful was Ling Chi's execution, but Su Tiancheng directly asked for it. Many of the death penalty methods have been changed to beheading or hanging the beam to commit suicide, and there are no other death sentences, including the way of drinking poisoned alcohol has been removed, that is, people with status or fame. The hanging beam committed suicide, and most of the ordinary people beheaded it for public display.

In addition, the practice of implicating family members has also been restricted to the greatest extent, unless it is a rebellion, the rest of the crimes do not involve family members, nor are they allowed to involve family members, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's practice of sending the family members of the official eunuchs to the Qinglou has been completely abolished, Su Tiancheng clearly pointed out that this is an insult to the family members of the official eunuchs, and it is an inhumane practice.

Of course, this loosening is not something that can be changed overnight, and the people need time to adapt, but the changes in this can be fully experienced by the people.

All the changes, almost all related to the lives of the people, one of the things that the people are most concerned about, that is, the officials who are officials in the court, including some important officials, are not allowed to own land, and the court and the government will severely crack down on the hoarding of land, which is equivalent to explosive news for the people, many people at the beginning could not believe it, now in this world, the most valuable thing is land, the status of officials is noble, and they are not allowed to own land, it is too rare.

But as time went on, the common people began to believe it, because the officials really had no land.

The overall requirements embodied in the new policy are that the management of the common people is more humane and more relaxed, and the requirements for officials are stricter, and the government must spare no effort in encouraging the common people to cultivate, and the government must also pay attention to the development of commerce and trade, so that some ordinary people can come out of the land and have other ways to make money.

There is another point that the common people are not very comfortable with, that is, the magistrate of the county, the magistrate and the magistrate do not directly try the case, the previous system of public notice, there have been some changes, the criminal department and the Dali Temple are located in Fuzhou County's branches, directly responsible for the matters of the announcement and the trial of cases, and the inspection department is basically obeyed by the leadership of these branches.

But it's not okay if you don't adapt, you have to adapt slowly.

Following the implementation of these new policies, it was a large-scale re-registration of the population and the re-registration of the land, which was a huge project that could not be completed in a short period of time.

When Shandong carried out these actions, the imperial court did not pay special attention, after all, the first carried out Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou and other places, these places almost became a ruin, no matter what kind of policy was implemented, the imperial court did not care very much, and then these changes expanded to the rest of Shandong's prefectures and counties, also because Zhang Pu did not have special propaganda, so it still did not attract special attention.

But this time the situation is different, Fujian and Zhejiang and other places have undergone large-scale changes, which caused a huge shock, and the first thing I felt was Nanzhili.

Just from one aspect, it is enough to attract everyone's attention, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places of the county, can get the money every year, the average is 1,500 taels of silver, this is an astronomical amount, the county under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the annual money is about 100 taels of silver, but also count all the income, of course, the corrupt silver can not be counted, but many scholars are officials, the first thing they think of is to do things, not corruption, take the poor money given by the court, If the officials are not corrupt, they will really not be able to survive.

The new policies in Zhejiang and Fujian are being implemented on a large scale, and the two places are relatively calm, but in places such as Nanzhili, it has caused a huge shock, which even Su Tiancheng did not expect.

Many fierce debates began to appear, especially in Nanjing, where the political atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and many scholars began to debate fiercely, some were in favor and some were against, those who were in favor thought that such an official government was the one that could really do things, and those who opposed it mainly stemmed from the restrictions on the gentry and wealthy households, as well as many measures of the New Deal, which violated Confucianism.

This kind of superficial controversy actually reflects the inner thoughts of the officials.

Su Tiancheng's words have long been spread in Nanjing, Su Tiancheng's words are to the effect that a person is born, no matter what status you are in, no matter how noble your identity is, many things have to be fought for by yourself, the benefits of the world can not be taken up by yourself, and you want to live a luxurious life, and you want not to contribute, and you want to not be bound by anything, then the world is not chaotic, any development of things, must have its own laws, To live in the world, you must abide by the rules, you must self-restraint, especially officials at all levels, while holding power, you must think of doing things for the common people and serving the court, if you always think about your own interests, then it is better not to be an official.

Su Tiancheng's words have almost one-sided support, and the interesting thing is that in Nanjing's Donglin Academy, these words are worshipped, thinking that this is a wise saying.

The New Deal began to promote the split of the officials of Nanzhili, and this split was reflected in the heart, and there were many officials who agreed with Su Tiancheng's approach, and they were inclined to do so from the inside.

From Nanzhili to Zhejiang and Fujian, the road was not blocked, Su Tiancheng showed generosity, and did not make any restrictions at all, but Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande and others, after the army was stationed in Huizhou Mansion and other places, began to block the official road, and the people on both sides were not allowed to come and go, but this is difficult to help many scholars and businessmen, they tried their best to go to Zhejiang, feel the changes brought about by the new deal, and more people went to Shandong, experienced the prosperity of Shandong, and experienced the rich life of the people there.

There is one thing, Su Tiancheng still made restrictions, that is, the problem of population migration, Shandong's population is basically saturated, can not enter more people, now there are many farmers, began to migrate to Zhejiang and Fujian, the homeland is difficult to leave, to know that the people of Lu Dao made such a choice, is a little helpless, at first Su Tiancheng did not have excessive restrictions, but then began to consider restrictions, after all, his goal is the entire Ming Dynasty, if the population is inclined to a few places, after the unification of the Central Plains in the futureWouldn't it be time to move again?

Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen, Xu Eryi and others fully agreed with Su Tiancheng's decision, they believed that this kind of large-scale migration activity could not spread indefinitely, otherwise they would have to worry about the future.

Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande did not notice these changes in Nanzhili at all, their main concern was the affairs of the army, Zuo Liangyu was secretly executed, but the general soldier of the 200,000 army was still Zuo Liangyu, but the deputy general soldiers, deputy generals, staff generals, etc. were all adjusted, including some guerrilla generals and garrison officers, and they were also adjusted, and the 200,000 army was still in the run-in period, and they needed to care about the run-in of the army, and the others could not be taken care of at all.

By the time they understand the implications, there will be no chance of reversing it. (To be continued......)
