Chapter 643 Supporting Plan
Having said this, Sun Chengzong wiped away his tears and listened carefully to the emperor.
Bi Ziyan understood this very clearly and understood the meaning of this sentence very well. After all, there is a precedent.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think this method is indeed unique in the continuity of the policy, and it is indeed extremely effective in the implementation of the major policies of the court by local governments..." Bi Ziyan was still very touched by this matter. If the court could implement a policy for five or ten years, then the chances of the major policies of the court being correctly implemented are much higher. For example, the emperor said that the court would be much stronger every year in the day of life. It would be better than the current sweet potato plantings. Although there was no movement in a few years and many people were perfunctory in various places, this year the emperor also summoned several outstanding officials of sweet potato plantings to Beijing, which they thought they would be reused. Then, with this precedent, by next year, the enthusiasm of local officials to grow sweet potatoes will be much higher. By the third year, and so on, they are probably higher. This is the advantage of the continuity of the policy.
"... However, I think that you must be cautious in formulating these major policies. Once you formulate them, you are afraid that you cannot change them easily. This..." After talking about the benefits, Bi Ziyan began to talk about the disadvantages again. The disadvantage that this matter was that since the court had to implement the policies that had been implemented for several years, then I am afraid that the emperor could not change them easily. This is a big restriction on the imperial power. This is a double-edged sword, which can reduce the labor intensity of the emperor, and naturally, it will also reduce the emperor's rights. Later, Bi Ziyan couldn't continue. Suddenly, he remembered Sun Chengzong's fierce argument with the emperor. Could it be for this? Bi Ziyan suddenly woke up, but it was not very similar! Bi Ziyan became even more confused...
"Yes, the Qing family is right. This is the reason. I also consider it this way. I am alone, my ability and time are really limited and I cannot handle unlimited things. Only by formulating some things into national policies and formulating them into policies to be done in the next few years, can this be the foundation for solving the problem..." Yang Jingyi explained.
"... But, Your Majesty, I think that although this matter is good, once it is formulated, I am afraid that Your Majesty cannot change it easily! This fact is..." Bi Ziyan still said the matter out loud. What the emperor did was to limit his own rights. Bi Ziyan didn't feel that such a thing was before, but now, Bi Ziyan felt that this was a serious problem. There were too many problems involved, involving financial power, human rights, imperial power, etc. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bi Ziyan felt that it was a big deal.
"I know that good and bad things are always one side. Nothing is perfect. As long as the Ming Dynasty can make the country rich and the people strong, and continue to prosper, I can ignore some things... The territory of our Ming Dynasty is already very vast. It takes months for it to pass on a government order from south to north. If the local government asks the court for instructions every year and what to do, it is really a waste. If there is a continuous and upright policy that lasts for several years, I will probably not be confused in the distance from the capital. I know what to do. In this way, wouldn't it be like the current one that depends on the court and everything to do?" Yang Jing explained.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think your Majesty has made sense." Bi Ziyan said.
"...In the future, the territory of our Ming Dynasty will definitely become larger and larger. If we do not take measures, we will pass the orders in the north or east, and we will probably need to count the time in the past year. If there is no established policy and policy that can be sustained, how can this be done? We cannot report local affairs this year, and will be approved next year, and then we will start to implement them later? Isn't this funny? So, I am considering that our Ming Dynasty now needs a continuous and coherent policy, and requires such a mechanism to formulate what to do in several years. Once a certain policy is formulated, no modification will be made within a few years. If it continues to be implemented, this will reduce the pressure from the court and allow local governments to do things.
Relying on..." Yang Jing said. Yang Jing tried the waters for a while before and thought it was not bad. As for why the waters were tested, it was related to future expansion. In the future, the territory will become larger and larger, the management territory will be more and more, and the road will be farther and farther. Communication issues cannot immediately reach the telegraph era. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the continuity of policies and policies, the implementation of policies of local governments, or colonies. If the colonies and newly developed places need to ask the central government for instructions on everything, this is unimaginable, and colonies will be destined to be impossible to go far. This five-year plan is actually in line with the colonial plan.
"Report to Your Majesty, I understand." When the emperor said this, Bi Ziyan understood even more. It would be easier to understand this matter. In the past, Bi Ziyan was afraid that he would advise the emperor not to mention expansion, raising territory, and engaging in military affairs. It is not a good thing to have a large territory. Using military affairs will only drag down the Ming Dynasty, drag down the Ming Dynasty, and transform it into a foreign land. It is not worthy of the Ming Dynasty to occupy. He must conquer people with virtue and adhere to the way of the saints. However, in the past two years, his thoughts have changed dramatically, especially recently, this thought has changed dramatically. He will not mention this kind of thing now. The reason is simple. Sun Chengzong told him that he would read more of the "Comprehensive Map of the Geometric Kingdom" and look at the problem from the height of the world. Looking at the problem from this perspective,
It completely broke Bi Ziyan's original concept. The world is so big. If the Ming Dynasty does not go out and does not find a way, it does not mean that others will not go out and do not want to occupy territory. By blocking one's head like this, pretending to see nothing, and lying oneself, it is better to take the initiative to fight for this matter. The barbarians can travel thousands of miles across the ocean to settle down and make a living here, and can show off their strength and dominate. In the next step, who knows that it will happen when it happens? Let the barbarians continue to expand and occupy territory, and there will inevitably be a country larger than the Ming Dynasty in the future. At that time, it will definitely threaten the Ming Dynasty. Just as Sun Chengsheng taught, those who do not plan for a lifetime cannot plan for a while. Is it just like the emperor said that living a life of one year a year?
Bi Ziyan believed that all the small countries of the barbarians could extend their power to tens of thousands of miles away, and the Ming Dynasty could do it. The barbarians were not afraid of the forces tens of thousands of miles away rebelling and breaking away from control. Bi Ziyan believed that the Ming Dynasty could do it. As long as this was done, the clichés in the past would always be solved. Now Bi Ziyan is a real expansionist.
"Well, it's good that the Qing family understands it. Today, the investment is related to the continuity of this policy and policy. Whether it is the five-year plan, the ten-year plan, or the century-old outlook, it must be closely combined with this matter. What I mean is that now the court must learn to formulate a five-year plan. The ten-year plan must have a prospect of more than a hundred years, and set a goal for itself, clarify what you want to do, what you should do, and how to do it, so that officials and the people of the world have a goal to move forward, have a common concept, act, and have a common principle, and all these things involve money. Therefore, in this regard, the Ministry of Revenue must first take the lead and try to formulate a plan.
Planning for fixed investment..." Yang Jing explained his philosophy. It was not that Yang Jing wanted to delegate power, and he wanted to play with "pearls" and "self-harm", which was forced. In this technological state, geographical restrictions determine that the territory and things that can be directly controlled are limited. To break geographical restrictions and to break the constraints of expansion, we must solve this problem. Undoubtedly, formulating plans and formulating plans is a good choice and a method that has to be chosen. Otherwise, according to the tradition of direct rule and jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, expansion and colonization will definitely be accomplished. It is undoubtedly ridiculous that something that is reported in a certain year in the first year, the court approved it in the second year, and the execution in the third year will be staged.
"Report to Your Majesty, I understand." Bi Ziyan agreed seriously. As he agreed to this matter, Bi Ziyan was still considering the previous matter. What exactly made Sun Chengzong and the emperor have such a fierce dispute? And so tragic? Could it be harmful to Your Majesty if you continue like this? Your Majesty still has to do this even though you know it is harmful? Or, it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty but not to your Majesty? Bi Ziyan thought about it for a long time and felt that although this matter restricted the emperor's rights, it would not end up in a tragic way. With Your Majesty's authority now, who else dares to come out and cause trouble?
"Master Sun..." Yang Jie couldn't bear to see Sun Chengzong, and could not stand the old man crying, but he still asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, it is not wrong to agree with this matter. However, once this matter is formed, it is a tradition and a tradition is formed. I am afraid that it will not be easy for Your Majesty to change the established policies..." Sun Chengzong's tears had already been wiped away. When he saw the emperor ask, he immediately replied that what was said in this matter was actually what the emperor said, to raise his personal will to the will of the country. Although this matter is very good and very good, it can solve many problems in the court today, but I have to say that the family is in the world.
The difference between becoming a country is extremely large. The emperor gave up and paid too much for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world. Not everyone has such great perseverance and determination to do this, nor everyone has such great ability to do it. The family has become a country, an emperor, and the impact of the imperial power itself. Even if the matter is still unclear, Sun Chengzong could imagine the difficulties and bitterness in it, but the emperor still decided to do this.
"It's good that Master Sun has no problem. I have also discussed this matter with Master Xu, and Master Xu basically agrees with my approach..." Yang Jing said again. Only by understanding his core of the imperial party can we arrange some of the peripheral ones. When the external imperial party is done, we will get rid of those who depend on the imperial party. The rest will be basically fine.
"The formulation of plans and planning is actually closely related to the current situation of the court. Since several years are used as a cycle, in order to ensure the stability and implementation of plans and plans, the term of office of this official may change greatly, and it is necessary to adapt to the cycle of this plan. Now, local officials discuss and relocation rules every three years, but they are afraid that there will be some adjustments in the appointment and removal of officials. I am also considering how to do this. If the two families have good suggestions, they can also be put forward." Yang Jingwei said again.
Both Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were silent. This matter was not as easy and simple as the emperor said casually. Their words determined whether the officials of the Ming Dynasty would be appointed for three years, four years, or five years in the future. The impact on officials in the world was quite large. This matter had to be carefully considered. Not to mention that the appointment and removal of officials who were to be changed because of this matter would be a bigger matter. When it comes to the entire officialdom, it really cannot be expressed easily.
Silence for a long time.
"Well, I know, it's not a good thing to urge too quickly. This matter will be discussed later..." Yang Jing saw that Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were not speaking, and he knew that the matter was too big and could not speak casually, so he could only let it go for the time being and give them a while to talk.
I was silent for a while.
"When Bi Qing's family returned, he began to try to do this. Now, in addition to the traditional annual expenses of the Ministry of Revenue, many new expenses can be taken into account and listed as plans, such as transportation, education, Zhang Xianyong's place, such as raising salaries for officials, such as relief, taxes, etc...." Yang Jingwei said.
"I received the order!" Bi Ziyan agreed.
"... Now I have a clue about the expansion of overseas. When things stabilize, I am considering giving part of the tax I collected to the Ministry of Revenue. Otherwise, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to do anything by relying on these traditional tax burdens. This matter is still my idea. It depends on the time when it will be implemented." Yang Jing thought about it and said this matter. Nowadays, the tax supervision is basically managed by eunuchs, and the new tax types and tax income are controlled by the tax supervision. With the victory of the tax payment division, the rise of industry and commerce, overseas expansion
As the tax prisons grow, the taxes collected by the tax prison will definitely be far more than the Ministry of Revenue, which is a problem. Not to mention the jealous problem, the eunuch has been "revolutionized" by himself, and there will be no eunuchs in the future. The tax prison will still have to return to normal people in the future. Therefore, this matter must be ambushed in advance and divided into part to the Ministry of Revenue, which can also block the mouths of many people and cure jealousy. As for whether the money is in the Ministry of Revenue or in the tax prison, it is actually not important for Yang Jing. It is just that the money from the left hand is placed on the right hand. His current prestige and power are not comparable to those of the bitter Ming emperors in the past.
"Your Majesty's wise!" Bi Ziyan was overjoyed. He lost 50,000 silver coins in the morning, and he made countless 50,000 yuan in a row. This was really worth it.
After explaining these things, he chatted with the two for a while before Yang Jingwei let them go. After doing these things, Yang Jingwei's mood was particularly complicated, looking at the vast Taiyechi, dazed.
When I came to my senses, I saw Wang Chengen crying.
"Why did your partner cry?" Yang Jie asked. Looking at the tears on Wang Chengen's face and red eyes, Yang Jie also knew that he was afraid he had been crying just now.
"Your Majesty..., I..." Wang Chengen was sobbing and couldn't speak. He was the eunuch in the palace, in charge of the Silijian, and many state affairs were in his hands. He saw many things the emperor did, and he did not hide them from him. He was present. When he heard the fierce argument between the emperor and Sun Chengzong, he understood what was going on, so he naturally wanted to shed tears.
