Chapter 289 Stand in line, stand in line!
The last few months of the second year of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty were in a storm of great prisons, and the winter solstice gradually approached, which was also the date when the first plenary session of the Four People's Congress officially opened.
Of course, it is also the date of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
This will also become an unwritten practice. The plenary sessions of the Four People's Congress are held on the Winter Solstice, and they will worship God first and then hold meetings, but not necessarily every year. The specific plenary session will be officially determined at this conference. As for ordinary things, the Standing Committee established in the plan is responsible for, and the Standing Committee is represented by the representatives of the Four People, and the principle of Yang Qing's plan is still...
Draw lots.
Whether it is irresponsible or not, this is the best way to prevent the gentry from controlling the Four People's Congress.
Those tenant representatives who are clumsy and do not even know a few words cannot compete fairly with those representatives of scholars. How can they be fair when the two sides start differently? Although re-election is a must, it is not possible at least before education is popularized to become civilized. The result of the election before education is popularized to be the elite of the gentry group.
Then the Four People's Congress was gradually seized by the gentry group.
It eventually becomes a club for rich people.
All Yang Qing's efforts were put to waste. He ended the feudal era of the Ming Dynasty, but then turned the tenants into industrial slaves exploited by capitalists.
So it is fair to draw lots.
And they draw lots indiscriminately.
No matter what kind of representatives of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, they were caught in a box, and the proportion of the four people who eventually became the Standing Committee members was completely left to fate.
This is indeed unfair to the elites. Even the representatives of scholars who are well-read in poetry and books must face the possibility that a peasant representative may occupy the largest proportion in the Standing Committee. The latter will definitely fight for power that is not conducive to the gentry. After experiencing this year's trip to Nanjing and visits from all over the country, these representatives are no longer as natural fear of the juren when they first came. They have already understood the power they hold and know that they can fight for their own power.
For example, many peasant representatives have publicly requested the full implementation of the imperial village.
Anyway...
"Let God Haotian decide everything!"
Yang Qing said with a serious expression.
"I don't care about these things anymore. This is all your young people's business!"
Grandma Qin said with emotion.
She came to Nanjing for treatment. Of course, she could not find anyone else with Yang Qing, a miraculous doctor. However, after Yang Qing took her pulse, she was convinced that the old lady would definitely not be able to hold on next year. After all, she is already 74 years old this year.
This is already in his seventies.
Especially after fighting for half a lifetime, it is a real war on the battlefield. It is rare to be able to live to this age.
"Marquis Zhongyong, the things that Lao Shi can't see in the future. Lao Shi only wants Marquis Zhongyong to treat the late emperor well, but there is no problem with this princess. The descendants of Ma Qin and the two families died in battle, and they are no longer able to continue to guard Shizhu for the court. Today Lao Shi officially requested the Supervisor to submit a seal letter to the Supervisor, asking the Supervisor to choose another virtuous minister to replace him."
As she said that, she took out the official seal of the stone pillar Xuanfu envoy and presented it with her hands.
Yang Qing then took it.
"Shizhu Ma family has been in charge of Shizhu. The old lady is loyal to the country. Ma Xianglin, Qin Bangping and other sons and nephews all died in the battlefield. Now, for the contribution of the Ma family, she has been granted the son of Ma Xianglin and the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, Ma Wannian Anlu, and was inherited and replaced by Qin Bangping's son Qin Yiming as Yingcheng Bo, and inherited and replaced by him."
He continued.
"I thank God for your kindness!"
Grandma Qin immediately thanked.
In this way, the first chieftain to officially hand over the territory of the Ming Dynasty was born. The Shizhu Ma family and Qin Liangyu's grandfather's family exchanged the stone pillars for the transformation of land and return to the current, in exchange for a hereditary marquis and a hereditary Count...
The main general of the Shizhu Tusi soldier was actually Qin Liangyu's mother's family. In the Battle of Hunhe, her two younger brothers died in battle and one of them escaped from bloody battles, but later they died in the She'an Rebellion. Her son Ma Xianglin died in battle while defending Xiangyang. The Ma and Qin families finally resisted the 16th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. In the end, Grandma Qin's grandson Ma Wannian and Qin Bangping's son Qin Yiming surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. This is worthy of the Ming Dynasty. After all, it can be said that they were really powerless to make the world come back then. As for Grandma Qin herself, she did not need to be awarded a title. At this time, she only had two grandsons, and it was enough to be awarded a grandson and a marquis. Her family also got an earl, which was worthy of the three nephews who died for the Ming Dynasty.
Actually, there is not much land.
The standard for a marquis is five thousand acres and one earl is three thousand acres. The two families combined to obtain 8,000 acres of official fields located in the area where the war-damaged areas in Hubei were destroyed.
As for farming...
Farming made them think of their own ways. There were people in the mountains around the stone pillars. With the influence of the Ma family in the local area, it was estimated that a group of mountain people would be able to abandon their poor and bad homes. It was not difficult to live on the fertile plains of Huguang. If it really didn't work, they could still buy slaves.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with Yang Qing.
The fertile land was given to the Ma family, and it was your own business that you could not plant.
However, their original property in Shizhu and other places continued to be retained, so that the Ma and Qin families would not lose any losses on the land, but would gain more. As for other economic benefits, the Shizhu would not be damaged at most. At most, the Shizhu would be small counties. Whether in the future local officials or local people, they would have to take the Ma and Qin families as their ancestors as their ancestors.
Which small county has two nobles who cannot treat them as ancestors?
After they moved east, they would also fight for certain benefits for the people of Shizhu. Even if they were doing business as hereditary nobles, they had to think about bringing the people of Shizhu with them! This was beneficial to them and the people of Shizhu. Yang Qing also got what he wanted. Not only did some people reclaim the wastelands in Huguang, but they could also completely transform the people under the rule of the Shizhu and incorporate them into the direct jurisdiction of the court, and then use the Shizhu as a typical example to attract other chieftains to follow suit.
Anyway, he has some wasteland.
At this time, the safety of the Yellow River can basically be guaranteed and the population of Henan can be gradually restored. These toasts fill Henan. Although the situation in Henan is not good, it is better than the deep mountains and forests of Yunnan and Guizhou. Especially those in Linhe area, water conservancy construction is well developed, and some drought-resistant crops and bird manure will gradually become fertile fields. These Yunnan toasts that stabbed the Ming Dynasty with a back knife are actually not very large, and it is probably equivalent to a prefecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The reason why they have become a headache for generations of emperors over the past thousand years is that they are scattered in deep mountains and dense forests. If they want to deal with them, they don’t have to fight to destroy half of their combat power.
But when they arrived on the plains, they had no say.
They were scattered in scattered settlements in Henan by the way of title, and first turned them from tough mountain people into ordinary farmers.
Then as the climate gradually improved, as the population in Jiangnan continued to grow, the imperial villages gradually moved around them, and they were sealed in this area with imperial villages. After a long time, these chieftains were given titles and abolished one by one. At that time, they had no ability to resist, and their subordinates had long forgotten their past and could not resist with them. In this way, within 50 years, all the messy chieftains in the southwest would be solved.
The small plains in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou have all become imperial villages. Han people can reliably refine and thrive in these places with corn, potatoes and other things.
After all, no one likes those mountains and forests.
There are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes in modern times. These mountains can survive, especially potatoes. It is hard to imagine how to live in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. They are not that they do not want to live on the plains, but that they are squeezed over. Now Zhongyong Hou can give them the plains. As long as they are willing to come out, they can get an endless plain.
"Zhongyong Hou, how about Laoshen wanting to return to Shizhu to retire?"
Grandma Qin asked tentatively.
This means that will you have any additional restrictions on us?
"Old lady, you can go anywhere in the Ming Dynasty to support your elderly care. The fief is a fief, not a prison. Not to mention the marquis, even the vassal kings now like to go wherever they are. As long as they are not treason and surrender to the enemy, it is enough."
Yang Qing said with a smile.
Grandma Qin nodded with confidence.
"This old lady is very smart!"
Shi Dewei looked at Grandma Qin who was satisfied and ready to return to Shizhu's hometown and waiting for the last journey of her life, and said with some emotion.
Yang Qing smiled but said nothing.
This is actually to offer sincerity to him.
To put it bluntly, everyone understands that this is the eve of the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the surname Zhu or Yang. At this time, Grandma Qin took the lead and told him that the Ma family and Qin family and his group. Don’t underestimate Grandma Qin. Until today, Shi Zhu and several cooperating chieftains around him can still pull out tens of thousands of elite soldiers, otherwise they would not have lasted for more than ten years. Even so, the Qing Dynasty did not dare to take down these guys who dared to resist national alliances. The Ma family and Qin family were the Shizhu Tu Emperor. To put it bluntly, Donglin Qunxian's performance was too bad, which made these forces watching the war despise them, and they could not see that these wastes had hope of victory. Since this is the case, why not just support them and almost win?
Did the Ma family and the Qin family really get two titles?
Qin Bangping's son Qin Yiming is also the deputy commander of the 17th Infantry Army. His younger brother Qin Gongming, who died in history to pacify Shadingzhou, was the brigade commander of the 17th Army! Grandma Qin's grandson Ma Wannian presented the land with the Xuanfu envoy, and he had to get a similar official position no matter how he could? Even if he could not get a civil service, the local militia control level of military positions is indispensable.
At this time, it is impossible for Zhongyong Hou to treat them unfairly.
But Yang Qing really didn't treat them badly.
There is also a huge salt mine under the Qin family’s fief!
"This is the beginning!"
Yang Qing said.
This began, and all forces began to express their positions one after another. The time for Shiqiongjiu to see him, and those who support him and the Zhu family will gradually expose their positions in various ways in the next time.
Grandma Qin is just the beginning.
Chapter completed!
