Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 695: The Hidden Interests Behind The Three Major Plans, The Pension Issues Of The Lower-Leve

Looking at the seven or eight officials who were dismissed from office and kicked out of the court.

No matter it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, or Yan Changqing, or other civil and military officials, their expressions did not change at all.

If you want to stand firmly and for a long time in the court, one of the essential requirements is to see the situation clearly!!!

Only by seeing clearly the situation in the court, knowing where the wind and waves in the court come from, and knowing where the wind and waves in the court are going are you able to stand firm along with the wind and waves in the court.

The seven or eight officials who were dismissed from office and kicked out of the court only saw the establishment of a complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales, squeezing the families behind them.

However, they did not see that once a complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales throughout the Ming Dynasty was established.

What opportunities will it bring to them, or to the officials under them, or even to the families behind them!!!

Not to mention anything else, the provinces, prefectures, prefectures, counties and supply and marketing cooperatives throughout the Ming Dynasty need to set up corresponding officials to manage them, right?!!

This is an important position responsible for managing the storage, distribution, and operation of state-owned materials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not a high-ranking position, it is definitely full of oil and water!~!!

The total number of provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the Ming Dynasty totaled nearly 2,000. In other words, at least nearly 2,000 corresponding officials were needed to be responsible for management.

There are so many vacant positions waiting to be arranged. Even if all the civil and military officials in the court cannot occupy them all, they can at least occupy ten to ten tenths of the arranged places.

With so many state-owned enterprises being established, do these also need to be managed by officials?!!

This is another wave of job vacancies ranging from hundreds to thousands!!!

By then they will also be able to account for one-third to half of the placements!!!

Whether these positions are used to show favor to others, to expand one's influence, or to provide convenience for one's family in the future, they are all excellent things.

In addition, the imperial court wanted to establish a complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales, and occupy a dominant position in the industries related to the people's "food, clothing, housing and transportation [Kang Shenggang]".

Ensure long-term sufficient supply of various inelastic demand commodities and elastic demand commodities, and long-term price stability!!!

Relying solely on state-owned enterprises is certainly not enough.

In the future, the supply should be mainly from state-owned enterprises, supplemented by the supply from private merchants and chambers of commerce.

In other words, although the products of the family behind them may not be able to continue to be sold to the people at high prices, they can still be sold to the court at low prices.

Maybe after the number of transactions with the imperial court increases, they can go one step further and become a stable supplier brand and chamber of commerce that the imperial court trusts.

In this way, it will also be of great benefit to the reputation of the families, chambers of commerce, and merchants behind them.

Coupled with the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang was looming behind Fan Bai's back, most civil and military officials had considered Fan Bai's plan to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales", which indeed had certain significance. enforceability.

And after they were able to benefit from it, they basically maintained their tacit approval.

After Jin King Zhu Fan dealt with the officials who jumped out to rebut with a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yan Changqing below, his expression softened and he said:

"Fan Bai, keep talking!!!"

Yan Changqing below nodded calmly and continued:

"After the establishment of a state-owned enterprise, the distribution and transportation of state-owned materials will need to be equipped with a corresponding large logistics team, with a number of approximately 200,000 to 300,000 people. More may be needed in the future."

"As for this group of personnel, I suggest that we select them from after the current Ming Dynasty soldiers."

"For example, old soldiers who are forty or over forty-five years old will be transferred to the large logistics and transportation team affiliated with the national court, and let them be responsible for the transportation of state-owned materials.

"First of all, although these soldiers are old, their decades of marching and fighting, the use of various military formations and battle formations, and their own rich experience in hundreds of battles are enough for them to ensure the safety of the transportation of state-owned supplies."

"Secondly, compared to past marches and wars, the transportation of state-owned supplies is relatively easy. For those old soldiers, it can be considered a good job to enjoy their old age."

"Let the old soldiers in the military camp have something to look forward to in the future. They don't have to serve in the military all their lives and wait until they retire, and eventually die in the military camp or die in battle."

As soon as Fan Bai said this, the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, Duke of Cao, Li Wenzhong, Duke of Song, Feng Sheng, Duke of Xin, Tang He, Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, and many other marquises all stared at him. .

If the plan proposed by Fan Bai just now to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales" is beneficial to all civil and military officials and noble marquises, how much benefit and share they can ultimately get from it depends on their own. If you have the ability.

So now this plan of "veteran soldiers transferring to large logistics teams next year" is actually beneficial to the military generals.

To be more precise, it was a plan that greatly benefited the lower-level soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Like most of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, they died on the battlefield before they could retire, or died of old age or illness in the military camp due to recurrence of hidden injuries. Don't they know this?!!

Of course they know!!!

After all, even though they are now the founders of the Ming Dynasty, before that, they themselves were the lowest level soldiers in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty. After going through hundreds of battles for the rest of their lives, they gradually reached their current position as Dukes.

But so what if you know?!

The most they can do is ensure that the soldiers who follow them can come back alive as much as possible when they go out to war.

After unfortunately dying in battle, his pension should be avoided as much as possible.

If they are lucky enough to survive until retirement, their severance pay will not be withheld.

This is what they, as princes, can do for the soldiers at the bottom.

As for those lower-level soldiers who do not have to serve in the army all their lives and die on the battlefield, or die of old age in the military camp, and can enjoy their old age in peace in the future.

If there are ten or eight low-level soldiers, or one hundred and eighty low-level soldiers, or even one or two thousand low-level soldiers, then they can barely do it.

After all, as the princes of the country, they have a lot of industries whether they are running their own businesses or being rewarded by the imperial court.

It is still okay to stuff the small number of retired low-level soldiers into their own properties to provide for themselves and enjoy their old age.

But if there are hundreds of thousands of retired low-level soldiers, and there is a steady stream of hundreds of thousands of retired low-level soldiers who will be promoted, they will have the problem of supporting and enjoying their old age.

Even if all nine of their princes and noble marquises were involved, this problem would not be solved.

But now the plan proposed by Fan Bai to "transfer veteran soldiers to join the large logistics team next year" is hopeful that it can solve this problem!!!

Once the problem of providing for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty in the future and enjoying their old age is solved, a relatively good job will be arranged for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty who will be old in the future.

New way out.

Then they can guarantee that the soldiers at the bottom, whether it is their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, their own fighting spirit, or the morale of the army, will be greatly improved!!!

After the loyalty, fighting spirit, and morale of the Ming Dynasty's lower-level soldiers were greatly improved, who benefited the most?!!

Naturally, they are the Dukes and Marquises who command the army!!!

In the age of cold weapons, strictly speaking, there is no absolute gap between large armies.

When the two armies are fighting, in addition to looking at the equipment gap, tactics, and strategies of both sides, it actually depends more on the morale and will of the soldiers on both sides.

As long as every soldier has the consciousness to fight to the death, then even if he charges against an enemy that kills dozens of times more people than his own, there is still hope of a comeback.

Let me name a certain Li Erfeng who has three thousand to one hundred thousand.

In the same way, the loyalty, fighting spirit, and morale of the lower-level soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were greatly improved.

This also means that the overall combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty soldiers will become stronger, and it also means that they can lead the army to victory more easily and gain more military honors.

For these noble marquises, military merit is their foundation and opportunity for promotion.

The amount of military merit they have represents how high they can stand and how far they can go on the road of noble marquis.

Therefore, after realizing the long-term benefits behind the plan proposed by Fan Bai to "transfer veteran soldiers to the large logistics team next year" for the soldiers at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty and for them, the noble Marquis of Wu Shi.

For example, the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, the Duke of Cao, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Song, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Xin, Tang He, the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, and the Duke of Ping, Mu Ying, all looked at each other and made a tacit decision in their hearts to support them. , promote the implementation of the plan.

Even if you give up part of the benefits of the plan to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales" in exchange for the support of a group of civil servants, it is not impossible.

While the military generals and noble marquises realized the benefits of the plan to "transfer veteran soldiers to the large logistics team next year", the six ministers and nine ministers in the civil service group also realized the benefits of this plan to the military generals and noble marquises. .

But even though they were aware of it, they never thought about actually stopping this plan.

Because the plan to "transfer veterans to large logistics teams next year" and the plan to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales" are obviously complementary to each other.

If the plan to "transfer veterans to large logistics teams next year" cannot be implemented smoothly, then the plan to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales" will eventually be difficult to implement.

And if the plan to establish a "complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales" cannot be smoothly implemented, then their idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to implement this plan to seek their own interests will naturally come to nothing.

…………Please give me flowers…………

So from the perspective of fundamental interests, they, the civil servants and the noble marquis, the military generals, are actually on the same position.

Of course, although the noble Marquis had the courage to stop the military commander from pushing forward the plan, they did not.

However, they still have the courage to obtain more benefits for their civilian group by using the name of preventing the noble Marquis, the military commander, from promoting the plan, and they are still very bold.

Yan Changqing, who was standing in front of the royal steps of the Dan Palace, finished talking about the plan of "the veteran soldiers will be transferred to the large logistics team next year", his eyes swept across the civil and military officials below, and he said in a gentle tone:

"For me this year, these are the three major plans I am preparing to implement."

"Among them, the leveled price is the foundation, the establishment of a complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales is the process and result, and the transfer of veteran soldiers to the large logistics team next year is the supporting service. All three are indispensable."

"If there are any omissions, please feel free to add them!!!"

Yan

Chang Qing had just finished speaking. On the side of the noble marquis, there were Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Cao Li Wenzhong, Duke Tang He of Xin, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, Duke Ying Fu Youde, Duke Ping Muying, etc.

The Duke already spoke in agreement:

"I have no objection!!! I strongly support and agree with Shang Sheng's plan!!!"

“I also agree with Shang Sheng’s three major plans!!!’

"I support Shang Sheng's plan with both hands and feet!!!"

"This is a plan that is beneficial to both the country and the people. Anyone who disagrees with it is a grandson!!!"

A group of princes were the first to express their stance, and other nobles and marquises from the middle and upper classes also expressed their strong support.

The six ministers and nine ministers on the civilian side glanced at the military general, the noble Marquis, who passionately expressed his agreement. A look of laughter appeared on his face, and then he looked at the people behind him.

Waiting for them, the middle and upper civil servants of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers to express their stance.

In the end, six ministers, including Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, Zhao Ren, the Minister of War, and Song Jin, the Minister of Rites, also stood up one after another to express their aspirations:

"Wei Chen generally agrees with Shang Sheng's three major plans, but there are specific details that need to be discussed further. I hope Shang Sheng understands and your majesty agrees!!!"

"Wei Chen also has the same opinion. The price leveling plan only requires an edict to be issued to all directions!!!'

“However, whether it is a plan to establish a complete economic industrial chain between state-owned supply and state-owned sales, or a plan to transfer veterans to a large logistics team next year, the scope involved

It’s too big and too broad, and the details need to be discussed and supplemented in order to be safe!!!”

"Wei Chen also generally agrees with Shang Sheng's plan, but please give me some time to go back and make more additions and improvements based on the plan proposed by Shang Sheng.

Then I will submit it to His Majesty for review!!!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high on the throne, listened to the opinions of all the civil and military officials, his eyes fell on Yan Changqing and said:

"Does Fan Bai have any objection to what the civil and military officials said?!!"

Yan Changqing shook his head and said:

"What you said is reasonable, and I have no objection."

For him, it is enough to successfully pass the three major plans he proposed today.

As for the subsequent specific implementation of the plan, or the distribution of benefits involved, it has nothing to do with him.

All he has to do is propose the three major plans, and then control the overall advancement and execution of the three major plans without making mistakes.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials had no objections to the three major plans he proposed, Yan Changqing went on to talk about the other small plans he would implement this year:

"This year, we will also establish a [Daming Central Coal Enterprise], and one by one [Daming Coal Production Enterprise] will be established in various places in Daming."

"These briquette production enterprises are also under the [Damingzhong Coal Enterprise] and are managed by [Damingzhong Coal Enterprise]!!!"

"In addition, every [briquette production enterprise in a certain place in the Ming Dynasty] will arrange for the central censor and Jinyiwei to join local officials to carry out inspections of the [briquette production enterprise in a certain place in the Ming Dynasty].

Let’s supervise each other!!!”

“To prevent someone from maliciously bullying the people who are absent from work, or seeking to enrich the public, enrich their own pockets, etc.

The civil and military officials below listened carefully to the small plans Yan Changqing said one after another, thinking about the pros and cons for the country, the people, and themselves.

PS1: Unlucky, I have been keeping a low profile for a long time. Some people followed suit, but I tolerated it; some people pretended to be dead and refused to admit or deny it, trying to force the traffic away, for fear of being accused of being sentimental.

I was so self-righteous that I tolerated it; in the end, someone jumped in my face and fired a map cannon, which made me speechless.

I, Gu Zhi, hereby solemnly state that [I and a certain national master at a certain point are not the same author!! Xiao!.
