"Ladies and gentlemen," Wang Ju looked at everyone, in addition to the doormen from Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Hangzhou, there were dozens of various stewards who had performed well in the development of Guangzhou, and it could be said that a quarter of the elites under Wang Ju were concentrated here.

"Yesterday we talked about the disadvantages of our dynasty, and the most talked about is the soldiers, yes, the military expenses are indeed the biggest expenditure of our dynasty, but in addition to raising more than 1 million soldiers of all colors, there are tens of thousands of officials, nearly 500,000 soldiers of all colors, hundreds of thousands of monks and Taoists, if you count the professors and doctors who teach, almost six to eight families in our dynasty will have to support one family. That's why the burden on the poorest people is heavy. ”

"Yes, if the ratio can be reduced to ten to one, the people will be able to breathe a little again." Huang Liang sighed.

"Ten to one is still too high, and it must be controlled at twenty to one." Wang Ju said categorically.

This ratio is the basis for what follows.

Wang Ju continued: "Therefore, according to your ideas, I synthesized it yesterday and formulated the following regulations. First of all, there is a pavilion chief at the bottom level, and about 100 households have a pavilion chief, exempt from the servitude of their households, and then according to the local income, they will be issued a salary equivalent to the income of a household. ”

If you don't pay your salary, you will find a way to be greedy, so you have to pay your salary.

However, Wang Ju used about one, which depends on the actual situation, in order to prevent malaria, the people migrated overseas, basically more than 30 households in a village, and there will be a risk of vicious epidemic infection if there is more, and if there is less, they will not be able to protect themselves. That is, there is a pavilion chief in about three villages, and it doesn't matter if there are more problems, and it doesn't matter if there are less.

"But this pavilion chief is different from my court setting, which is elected once a year."

"Elections?" The people below asked in surprise.

"It's to make a number of every person who is elected. Printed on paper. Every household over the age of 20 has the right to vote. Draw a hook under the number that you think is suitable for the pavilion chief, and then cover the cover paper and put it into the box, and the lock is placed outside, and the iron box is jointly supervised and guarded by the villagers, and the key is controlled by the mayor of the upper layer, and the fairness of the supervision is jointly supervised. When the date arrives, open the iron box and check the name. Whoever has the most votes will be the pavilion chief. ”

"It's not a good thing......" Huang Liang hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Shaobao, I often hear you say that moderation, that is, a balanced way, too much to the people, leniency and exemption, although the people are satisfied, the government is unfavorable, and the court is even more unfavorable......"

"Hengzhi, it's good that you can think of this. But don't worry, let me go on. Doctrine. Benevolence-based, righteousness-oriented. Loving the people is fundamental, and righteousness is much more complicated, including the law and constraints, but this restriction and law must be fair and just before it can be called righteousness. So I have some charters behind me. This is the pavilion chief at the grassroots level, and then to the town mayor above. For every 1,000 households or so, there is a town mayor, and each town should try to have a grass market, a school, and two related officials, eight officials, and related errands, but the number of errand servants of each color shall not exceed ten. ”

In fact, the establishment of this town is already equivalent to the number of households in some very small counties in the Song Dynasty, and such a staffing is not high. But Jia Liang asked: "Shaobao, who elects the pavilion chief, and how is the town mayor elected?" ”

"Liangguo, the election of the pavilion chief is recommended by the people of each village, or they take the initiative to stand up for the election, but there are several rules, the first is that no matter who comes out to vote, there must be ten households agreeing to be eligible for the election. Article 2: No one shall interfere in the election by intimidation, fraud, bribery, or other unfair means, otherwise he will be punished with the punishment of misappropriation. Article 3 The position of the pavilion chief is to assist the town in completing the task of paying taxes on the city roads, mediate disputes in neighborhoods and villages, organize Ding Zhuang to fight back against the rebellion of the local aborigines, put forward proposals to the mayor for the benefit of the township, reflect the wishes and requests of the people to the mayor, and assist the mayor in arresting criminals. ”

If he is exempted from servitude and paid his salary, he will fulfill his responsibility.

"As for the election of the mayor of the town, it can be held by the pavilion chief who can be re-elected for more than three years, and the officials sent by the prefectures can talk to and examine their talents, but there is a rule, after three years of office, the people of the town shall be elected under the supervision of the officials sent down by the cities, and those who do not have the approval of more than sixty percent of the people shall not be re-elected."

This is also the mean.

If he can be re-elected for three years, then it should be very good for the people of each village.

But some pavilion chiefs are illiterate, or their talents are limited, and they can be qualified as pavilion chiefs, but they may not be able to be competent as town mayors, which requires the city officials to inspect, and actually seize a right to appoint and dismiss, which is equivalent to seizing the leadership of the upper and lower levels, which is also a kind of upper and lower moderation. Of course, it also answered Huang Liang's concerns.

"If the mayor is capable of serving two terms, the city officials must give priority to the inspection in order to make further appropriations and reuses. If you can do it for three years, you have to reuse it. Its responsibilities are the same as those of the pavilion chiefs, but the scale has increased. Then go to the city, and each security base is placed in a city. In the case of some small settlements, two or three of them have been merged into one city. The number of households in each city must be more than 3,000, and there is no limit to the above. Each city has six adjutants, and the proportion of officials in front of the government shall not exceed 1 percent of the number of households below. If the situation is special, you can apply to the road, but it must not exceed one-fiftieth of the situation, so as to reduce the burden on the people. Above each city is the road, and the road is also placed with six Cao officials and Yaqian officers, and the proportion shall not exceed one third hundredth of the number of households below. The rest can be modeled after the system of our dynasty. ”

As for the appointment of officials in various cities, Wang Ju did not say any more. It doesn't have to be appointed by Wang Ju, but Wang Ju hasn't thought about it clearly now, should he hand it over to the imperial court to appoint the order?

And Wang Ju also played a trick, and the Song Dynasty Road was arranged to be a state and county, which made him a three-level system of cities, towns and villages.

The names are different, the arrangements are different, and the systems are different, so you can avoid some suspicions.

"But it's too late now." Liu Shao said first.

"Now the election of the pavilion chief can be established, and the city officials are appointed, and the outstanding talents are selected from among the various stewards to serve as temporary officials, and then these temporary officials select qualified town mayors to manage the people first."

"That's fine," everyone nodded.

"Then I'll talk about the rest, first of all, religion. The people need faith. Hence the need for religion. However, there are some restrictions on religion. The only legitimate religion can be Buddhism and Taoism. Other religions are not allowed to be promoted. However, the ratio of Taoist priests and monks shall not exceed four thousandths of the proportion of the number of households of the people, and each Taoist monk may own a hectare of Guantian or Temple Field, which can be exempted from taxes, but shall not exceed this area, nor shall he accept any field house donated by the people, otherwise he shall be forcibly returned to the customs and returned to the field house, but he can accept other forms of incense donations from the people. Other than that. Regardless of whether a Taoist priest or a monk is allowed to mislead the people in any form into not receiving medical treatment when they are sick, bullying men and women, extorting money, teaching people to harm themselves, subverting the government and state, holding secret gatherings, forcibly controlling believers, attacking other beliefs, and teaching people to break their homes and property to support themselves. All kinds of lewd sacrifices and cruel sacrifices, otherwise they will be designated as cult members. The heavy ones are killed, and the light ones are miscellaneous. I want a religion that truly teaches people to do good. ”

Buddhism is not necessarily a good religion, just like Wang Ze's Maitreya Religion, which was a typical cult of the Song Dynasty, not some peasant uprising.

But Wang Ju emphasized here that he emphasized an aggressiveness, which was to prevent the future, and the holy war had already begun in the west, and it was won......

The other is to prevent the great monks from being too greedy, and it doesn't matter if you make incense money, but don't get involved in the merger.

"This really needs to be taken seriously," Tao Qing said, because there are already various spontaneous religions below, which cannot be stopped, so it is better to take the initiative to channel them.

"I hope that next year's finances can be slowed down, a little money will be drawn, and all cities will build a temple and a temple, and some real Taoist priests and monks who are willing to promote Buddhism and Taoism will be invited from the Central Plains, so that they can lead the people's religious concepts in the right direction."

"Okay."

"Then I will talk about taxation, first of all, two taxes, the place of Tomita, the ratio of the two taxes is one out of ten, but it shall not exceed this amount, and there shall be no disguised apportionment, and those who violate it shall be immediately dismissed from their posts. In the place of Nakata, the ratio of the two taxes is one out of twenty. The place where you go to the field is exempt from two taxes. If there is a shortage of food, the government and the merchants will jointly purchase it. The commercial tax is modeled after the tax and the tax in our dynasty, and within a city, any commercial goods shall only be taxed once, and the tax shall not be repeatedly drawn in any form. Within one route, the tax was drawn twice, and within the whole territory, the tax was drawn three times. ”

"What about tea wine and salt alum?" Tao Qing asked again.

"Levy commercial taxes, and you must not be exclusive."

"What if the court changes?"

"It has become a common practice, and besides, overseas, even if the imperial court appoints officials to manage it in the future, they cannot be allowed to do it. In the event of a move, the following temporary officials can take the people with them to drive them out of the area under their administration in some way. ”

"This ......" Tao Qing originally wanted to say, but suddenly laughed, this court management can't be taken seriously, can it really be managed?

"How to build water conservancy and roads?"

"The small ones are decided by the pavilion chief and the mayor of the town, and the people are allowed to build spontaneously when the farming is not working, and if the large-scale projects are reported, the mayor will report to the city officials, and the cities will send officials to inspect them, and then allocate special funds to build them." Wang Ju paused and said: "But we have to make a screening, what is the size, the project of less than 10,000 working days is a small project, and the town is responsible for it." The above is a large-scale project. However, before these projects are decided, they must also gather the people to vote on them, and sixty percent of the people's supporters can pass and propose the project. ”

"It's a good idea, and we will supervise it together." Everyone agreed.

In fact, this is the system that Wang Ju came up with, combining the synthesis of the two systems in the previous life, the lower power is decentralized, which is the so-called people's cooking, and the upper power is centralized to maintain efficiency and policy coherence.

However, the imperial examination employment system has disappeared here, and it has become a combination of the election system and the grinding system. But it disappeared from the city-level elections and became a grinding. Can the people below really know whether the mayor and governor are doing well? !

Education continues to be valued, but it returns to the original face of education, so that everyone can master more knowledge, and then use this knowledge in exchange for a better life, not for the sake of becoming officials. What percentage of scholars who can be officials actually accounted for in the Song Dynasty? On the contrary, many scholars have become nerds, and the whole family has been dragged into the sea.

Whether the effect is a perfect combination of the two systems, or whether it is nondescript, depends on the effect after implementation.

"I will also say that industry and commerce can gradually allocate 1 million yuan next year, and if they have confidence and courage, they can borrow money to finance their planting, breeding, and establishment of various workshops. Commercial trafficking. But there are two. The people recruited had to be persuaded from the interior themselves. However, we can provide a boat for them to and from the boat free of charge. Secondly, the interest is one cent per year, and if it is a maritime trafficker, considering its risks and windfall profits, it is two cents. The last rule is that no family member who has engaged in business behavior can serve as a high-level official at or above the city level, so as not to cause too much injustice like in our dynasty. That's about it, what else do you think you can add? ”

In fact, the Song Dynasty also forbade officials to do business, but it was not enforced well.

Actually, that's it. The whole overseas is divided into two parts, one part is administrative management, and the other part is its own industry, including the navigation income of the fleet, and some profitable planting and breeding industries, mining, and mining industries. Or use the Song Dynasty system to distinguish, one is the state treasury and the other is the inner treasury, but this inner treasury is far larger than the Song Dynasty internal treasury accounted for by the comparative case of revenue.

This is already the embryonic form of a country.

Liu Shaoxian said: "Shaobao." We can trade directly with the Wa Kingdom Tianzhu Great Food. ”

This sentence is very tactful.

Last year, I got the cool oil, so I started growing mint over there. Transplant camphor trees, these two are the main ingredients, and then add some cloves, cinnamon oil and other materials to it, which is basically not much different from the effect of cooling oil. It has many effects, it can prevent miasma, drive wind and relieve pain, treat wind, cold, wind, heat and heat, mosquito bites, burns and scalds, body odor and constipation, and can also reduce inflammation and itching, seasickness and discomfort, stop evil and evil, and clear the mind and brain.

Then deliberately burned a beautiful small porcelain bottle to put it up, the porcelain bottle also burned a beautiful picture, the following row of explanatory text, said that it is composed of cloves, cinnamon, eucalyptus, good incense, sarsaparsa...... Anyway, it's all incense, so that it can be sold at a price.

But the main reason for coming up with this thing is for mosquito water.

Although mosquito water has not been made, it has improved the current refining and distillation technology, and there is no doubt that another thing can also be launched, that is, perfume.

In fact, many commodities or weapons and technologies are related, but Wang Ju doesn't know the specific process, otherwise he can research several things, including some possible Western medicines.

Perfume is also good, many rich people in the Song Dynasty like incense, that is, the spices are burned in a relatively sealed space, and the clothes are resting on top of this space, and the spices are burned out, and the clothes are fragrant.

But this incense can't keep the fragrance of clothes for a lifetime, and it's expensive.

So Wang Ju reminded him to research and produce overseas, and asked some stewards to bring a lot of flower seeds to be planted overseas.

This year, the production was small, but it was also brought back to the Song Dynasty.

The last one was the bell, but Wang Ju didn't let it be named the bell, but took a nice name, Jin Leak.

Now the process is too backward, ninety percent of the parts have become defective products, often a small gear costs more than ten dollars. And the function is simple, only the hour and minute hands are rotating, and none of the other functions are not. And it is very clumsy, each bell is full of more than 40 catties, and it is extremely inconvenient to carry. But this doesn't matter, one is that the output is not high, and the other is that the scarcity is expensive, and it can be sold at a good price. Therefore, the best lacquer and wood were used, and even gilded with precious stones, but the glass has not been successfully studied, and the glass bell is missing. Moreover, its error has been repeatedly studied, and the error is only two or three minutes a day, which is considered to be an accurate timekeeping instrument in this era. As for the big, the tall, the big is the big......

But this time is different from that of the afterlife, and the day is divided into twelve hours, not twenty-four hours, each with five quarters of an hour and twenty-four minutes each. The final division is the same as that of the Hereafter.

This bell is what Wang Ju has been looking forward to for a long time, and if the cost of research and development is calculated, it will be at least 100,000 yuan.

However, with it, combined with a sextant, a compass, and various accurate nautical charts, it is possible to basically measure the latitude and longitude of each seagoing ship. It can even be said that as long as the fleet is large enough to carry a large amount of supplies, and then guided by Wang Ju, from now on, it will basically be able to sail "around the world".

The research was successful at the end of last year, but it was not produced much, and it was brought to Hangzhou by Feng Yuqing.

These three things are undoubtedly good things, but how to judge their price, the city ship envoy invited a few wealthy merchants in Hangzhou to judge, and finally the city ship company bought them according to the valuation of several rich merchants.

Perhaps because of the alliance of several wealthy businessmen with the imperial court, this price is not high, at least more than half of the price estimated by Liu Shaoxian.

Therefore, Liu Shao first wanted to bypass the Song Dynasty and not sell it in the Song Dynasty.

Wang Ju is muttering, not only these three things, but also on the other side of the ocean, there is now cotton, sugarcane, silk linen, and tea.

He thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think it through.

But can he decide the future in a few hundred years, so he said: "This one is okay, but remember that you can't mint money on the other side, and you must come inland to exchange copper coins and go back." ”

With the right of autonomy, military power, financial power, and if there is the right to mint money, it is estimated that this group of subordinates will really learn from the Chen Yiqiao incident and put the imperial robe on themselves, and that result is not what Wang Ju wants.

"If there are no objections, we will discuss the details."

In fact, except for Wang Ju at the top, who did not think about it, the charter has been formulated.

The group discussed for a long time, including the specific regulations and even the remuneration of officials at each level. The higher the official, the higher the salary, of course, but it can't be like the Song Dynasty, the salary and benefits of top officials can reach more than 50,000 yuan, which is too fucked up, raising a hundred or dozens of top officials, there is almost no profit overseas.

But everyone is full of interest, and it can be said that all of them are unsatisfactory literati, and even some people don't even have a lift, just because they can do things, and finally stand out and are valued by Wang Ju, so they are sitting here.

Once these statutes have been drawn up, the appointment of individual officials has to be decided. Although it is impossible for these official positions to wear the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty, the functions and powers of the exercise are the same.

It was getting dark, and the discussion was over.

Wang Ju said again: "There is one last thing, please discuss it." ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a note, that is, Tao Bi's note to impeach him, which said that although Wang Ju used this method, he could take Jiaozhi at the lowest cost, but it was too cruel and violated the peace of heaven, and the court was asked to punish him immediately.

After reading it, everyone was immediately indignant and scolded Tao Bi one after another.

Wang Ju has always respected Tao Bi, how did Tao Bi write this recital?

Do you have to die hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to take Jiaozhi before you are willing?

And what Wang Ju can value, how many people are stupid?

One by one, they were so angry that they couldn't do it.

In fact, if the Song Dynasty could not get past this important checkpoint and history continued to repeat itself, perhaps two hundred years later, more than 7 million households and 40 million people in the north would die under the butcher's knife of the Yuan and Meng.

So for Wang Ju, if you don't want to be a, you have to be ruthless, and if you are a, you have to be ruthless.

There is no need to say this, Wang Ju said slowly: "Don't blame Tao Gong, this is my intentional self-exposure ......" (to be continued......)
