Chapter 333 Separation of military and government, attracting investment
Liaodong should not be in a remote state, it should be a scene of large arable land, roads connected all over the world, and a large number of people living and working in peace and contentment.
The people are looking forward to the little days, and the emperor also has expectations and imagination.
Not only Liaodong, but what he wanted to change was the entire Ming Dynasty. The success or failure of Liaodong reconstruction was directly related to his entire plan.
How can one clean the world if one room is not cleaned? How can one clean the country if one land is not cured?
Mekong Province could have had a choice, but the emperor did not make major changes, but instead promoted reform step by step.
Because Mekong Province was established relatively early and Liaodong was not pacified, the emperor still had to take the initiative.
It's different now. The two major wars in China have been wiped out, and the most important one. The Shean rebels in Shuixi are already very scumbag, and relying on the advantage of geographical advantages to resist and persist. They have been blocked to the end of their journey and can be destroyed just around the corner.
In other words, for carrying out drastic reforms in Liaodong, the conditions are already met and the resistance is minimal.
Moreover, although Liaodong was just pacified, the governance of Liaodong had already begun. Dengzhou Governor Yuan Keli controlled Dongjiang and sent officials like Wang Yining to manage the government affairs in the Restoration District.
From the initial Tieshan, Yizhou and coastal islands, to Jinzhou, Lushun, Liaonan, Zhenjiang and other places.
With the continuous advancement of the Ming army, Jiannu's lack of fear of contraction, the number of government officials in Liaodong increased and his work ability also improved, which was just enough for the new governor Wu Yongxian.
The most important thing is the population and land conditions. The areas that were restored earlier have basically been counted. Because this involves the amount of relief grain distributed by the imperial court, Yuan Keli personally supervised and the data is relatively accurate.
When the Liao Dynasty was pacified, the liberated Liao people, the surrendered Jurchens, and the Mongols needed to be re-statistically recorded.
There are also houses and land in Xinguangfu area, and there must be approximate numbers for the distribution and distribution of Liao people returning to their hometowns.
Therefore, since the conquering Liao, Yuan Keli, who was in charge of Liaodong, has been very busy.
Although it is a foregone conclusion that it is time to return to Beijing and enter the cabinet, Teacher Yuan's seriousness must do the job you can see and think of.
As an old official working in Liaodong and a local from Liaodong, Wang Yining was familiar with the situation and naturally gained the reliance of Yuan Keli.
The emperor also knew that Wang Yining and Mao Wenlong had a great victory in Zhenjiang, and he was the one who participated and planned it. Among the scholars, he was quite brave.
Therefore, Yuan Keli returned to Beijing and promoted, and Wang Yining and a number of Liaodong officials stayed to listen. The emperor even gave Wang Yining the position of the left governor of Liaodong, and was promoted from the sixth rank to the second rank.
It was already dark, and Yuan Keli was still reviewing documents in the yamen. Since Dengzhou came to Liaodong to take charge, his family did not bring him any of his family and had a lot of official duties, so he simply lived in the yamen, and had both office and rest.
The same is true for Wang Yining. He has worked hard in Liaodong for several years, but he has not yet started a family, so as not to worry about the shackles.
After a busy day, Wang Yining returned to the governor's office in Liaoyang City. When he learned that Yuan Keli had not yet rested, he rushed to report his work.
At the same time, he was a little confused about the court's policies and wanted to get some explanations and guidance from his husband's ancestors.
Judging from the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the local governor was the largest, and the governor was slightly lowered.
However, from the perspective of actual power, the governor's authority is large and lenient, while the authority of the governor is relatively accurate. Specifically, both sides have their own strengths and restrain each other.
The emperor's newly established governor of Liaodong removed one of the three main tasks of pursuing the place, inspecting subordinates, and admiral military affairs, namely admiral military affairs.
In other words, the governor's power is less than before, and he can no longer interfere in military affairs.
Although the emperor was very disliked to use civil war to suppress military warriors and use civil warriors to control military warriors, there was no change on the surface. Dongjiang Town seemed to be alone overseas, but was still subject to the restraint of Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou.
Now, the removal of the governor's military affairs at once is equivalent to completely breaking the traditions and conventions of the Ming Dynasty.
Without civil officials to suppress military affairs and eunuchs to supervise the army, many people may be worried that it is difficult to control military people. As a result, there may be domineering people who will endanger the country.
Wang Yining was also worried about this. Although he had great achievements in the battle against Liao and the martial artists, it was inappropriate to have no means to control the means of subjugation.
Moreover, the improvement of the status of warriors will also cause many inconveniences to the governance of Liaodong.
After visiting Yuan Keli, Wang Yining first reported his work, mainly about the land, population and housing conditions, including Liaoyang, Haicheng and other places.
Yuan Keli listened seriously and was very pleased. He stroked his beard and smiled: "It's cold and the earth is freezing. It's really hard for you to work hard outside."
"All of them are jobs, and the officials dare not say they are hard." Wang Yining bowed and said, "It is only two or three months before spring plowing. The population and land must be registered. Other colleagues also work hard, not only the officials."
Yuan Keli nodded and said, "Reconstructing Liaodong must be carried out quickly. Spring farming is the top priority. Not only the people, but the army also needs to reclaim land and plant it to reduce the burden on the court."
"What are the army's farming?" Wang Yining asked without knowing it very well.
"It is different from the previous military camps." Yuan Keli pondered for a moment and said, "The land that the army reclaimed and cultivated should be handed over to the local area and distributed to the Liao people who returned to their hometowns."
Controlling the army's food? Wang Yining thinks it is a solution, but it is not enough. Moreover, since the army does not belong to him, is the army willing to work hard?
Yuan Keli didn't know Wang Yining's idea and said, "The stores in big towns should be clearly counted. All major chambers of commerce should contribute to the reconstruction of Liaodong. Distributing stores is one of the ways to attract them."
Before Liaodong was revived, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce had already taken the lead, spread out some outlets and occupied some markets.
Now that Liaodong is pacified, the court has opened its doors to major chambers of commerce. One of the preferential policies is to distribute shops, which are free of rent for three years.
Don’t think that after the war in Liaodong, the people are very poor and doing business is unprofitable.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a successful example. Just doing the big-headed business has made a lot of money, and the exclusive border trade is even more profitable.
Moreover, there are many specialties in Liaodong. Commercial products such as ginseng, glutinous, animal skin, and pine nuts are very popular.
Therefore, major chambers of commerce are quite active in this regard and have submitted applications to the court. The most popular shops are naturally Shenyang, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Lushun and other major cities or transportation locations.
Of course, the court has the conditions to offer policies and investments.
Because the loan issued to Liaomin is not silver coins, but is called vouchers. Merchants who get free shops must accept the purchase of vouchers printed with dates and can only go to the bank to exchange equivalent silver coins after three months.
It is clear after saying this that the court wants to borrow money from merchants, which takes three months to use for use, and it is a cycle.
Merchants lose interest or other income from these funds to operate. However, three years of rent saved, and the business tentacles also extend to Liaodong. In the long run, gains are still greater than losses.
