I am the king of the dead

Raw horses and stage horses are not included in the statistics of the imperial court.

But BMW, in the statistical category.

The stage horse ran for five years. If it was still alive, it would be kept in the stage and called BMW, and these BMWs were also counted.

Hu Wei looked around and said: "Your Majesty, the Khan of the Tatar tribe, Tuotuobuhua has recently reported that he wants to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and discuss the matter of the tribute market."

"Your Majesty, the opportunity has arrived."

What Hu Wei was talking about seemed to have nothing to do with Xia Heng and Ma Zheng, but in fact these two things were closely linked.

The opportunity Hu Wei mentioned was the almost cruel financial affairs policy of Ming Dynasty on the grassland.

Daming put money in the grassland, silver coins, Jingtai Tongbao, poured into the whole grassland like a tsunami, and the Tartar kings on the grassland exchanged their cattle and sheep for these exquisite coins instead of necessities such as tea, iron, salt, etc. .

Tutuobuhua, as the Khan of the Tatars, finally couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to enter the Ming Dynasty as a tribute.

At the beginning, Tuotuobuhua wanted the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to go outside Beigukou to discuss the alliance.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in troubled times, and Zhu Qiyu didn't want to cause trouble. The Tatar army was just outside the city. Zhu Qiyu ordered Yang Hong to let Fangtuobuhua withdraw his troops. Wala people.

Nowadays, Tuotuobuhua takes the initiative to pay tribute to the court.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and asked: "Let's wait for another three years before agreeing to his request to enter the customs as a tribute."

If you want to pay tribute, let you pay tribute?

In Zhu Qiyu's study room of Juxian Pavilion, there is a spiritual tablet, which is the token of the civil war in the civil castle, and the token of the soldiers who died in battle for this purpose, and it is also a gully in Zhu Qiyu's heart that cannot be healed.

He always remembered the humiliation of the siege at the beginning. He watched the recruits of Daming go out to fight amidst the people singing the red scarf song. He watched Yu Qian, Shi Heng and others personally lead the troops to charge and dismount to fight to the death.

Like a tortoise, he stayed in the tortoise shell formed by the soldiers and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. Finally, when King Jili was the vanguard of the siege, he finally couldn't help himself and led someone to snatch King Jili's dragon banner.

He remembered the humiliation at the beginning, so he had to wait a little longer.

"Three years?" Jin Lian asked with wide-eyed surprise.

The grassland's financial system has completely collapsed, the people are in dire straits, and the border people are pitiful.

A Tatar woman can be married with half a bag of rice, but if she is willing to add half a bag of salt, she will be dead set.

Cooking white meat in a cowhide bag is a true portrayal of the grassland today.

Your Majesty is really too ruthless.

Wait for another three years, and such a tragedy will happen for another three years.

Human purgatory.

Yu Qian looked around, and immediately said: "I think it's okay to wait a little longer. Three years is not too much, and five years is not too little. Even if we continue to wait like this, ten years, 20 years, 50 years, it's okay." Not impossible."

"Right now, there are a lot of people fleeing from Tatar who have entered the farm law in the Jining and Hetao areas of the Ming Dynasty. If we stop setting fires on the grasslands at night and stop releasing silver coins in Gongshi, we have to appease these people."

"Secondly, it is not enough to boil the eagle and beat it. Today the Ming Dynasty is strong, and he is obedient. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will decline and fall, and the robbers of the other side. Now promise to get rid of the flowers and pay tribute to the court, and there will be great disasters in the future."

"For the long-term plan of the two clans, when there are no more swords and soldiers facing each other, we should wait."

Yu Qian is the leader of the civil servants, the Marquis of Wen'an, the minister of military meritorious service, and the spokesperson of the honored officials of the Ming Dynasty.

His attitude is the attitude of Jingying.

Yu Qian, who has always advised His Majesty the way of benevolence and forgiveness, still takes the way of Daren.

If Daming's heart softened at this time, when the Tatars regained their strength and Daming entered the sequence of autumn and winter, there would be another disturbance.

The greatest danger in the world is not natural disasters, but military disasters. Iron hoofs go south, people are devastated, people are displaced, people die in foreign lands, freeze to death on the roadside, when rituals collapse, bandits rise together, and people's livelihood withers.

In order to prevent another sword attack, wait a little longer, let the Tatars have a long memory, and prevent military disasters, it is Daren.

How to prevent military disasters?When the enemy is too weak to walk, you can prevent military disasters.

"Then wait a little longer." Hu Wei thought for a while and agreed with Yu Qian's words.

His original plan was that Honglu Temple would negotiate with Tatar King Tutuobuhua and give the officials grace, and Daming would establish countless official ranches in the Tatar pastures, which were the same in nature as official factories and directly belonged to the imperial court.

These official pastures are the nails that Ming buried in the tribes of Tatar.

Both Yu Qian and His Majesty thought it was okay to wait, and Hu Wei did not object. Now that the negotiations start, His Majesty can leave a reputation of benevolence and righteousness. Since His Majesty does not want this good reputation, he will not work hard in this useless direction.

Hu Wei picked up his old business and said with a smile: "Your Majesty treats everyone equally. The Ming Dynasty uses silver coins, and the Tatars also use silver coins; the Ming Dynasty uses Jingtai Tongbao, and the Tatars also use Jingtai Tongbao; Your Majesty, as the Holy Son of Heaven, unifies the world." Your majesty, this is His Majesty's generosity."

Your Majesty is lenient, Your Majesty is loving, and Your Majesty can do no wrong.

Li Binyan and the others looked at Hu Wei with dumbstruck eyes. Everyone understood what Daming's economic policy on the grassland had turned into.

However, what Hu Shangshu said was so reasonable that he could not refute it.

Discussing etiquette with Minister of Rites is asking for humiliation.

Wang Hu, a doctor in the Du branch, glanced at Zhang Feng, his supervisor, and said helplessly: "The Labor Insurance Bureau has calculated all the accounts of last year and sent them to Tai'an Palace. Last year, the Labor Insurance Bureau coordinated and compensated nearly 72 people. Ten thousand silver coins."

"Among them, 240 were mediated, [-] were ordered to rectify, and more than [-] were related to security."

Labor Insurance Bureau is the abbreviation of labor protection.

This involves a topic of financial affairs that Zhu Qiyu has always wanted to talk about, but has never discussed in general, distribution.

The distribution method determines the social system, and the social system is determined by the distribution method.

Zhu Qiyu has not discussed too much in this regard, it's not that there is no opportunity, but the timing is not ripe, but since Wang Hu mentioned this matter today, Zhu Qiyu intends to talk about it.

He thought carefully for a while and said, "Wang Mang, at the beginning we wanted to implement the well field system. The ancients used three hundred steps as a distance, and it was called well field."

"The well field system is not what Fang Xiaoru said. The land is owned by the public, but privately owned. "Gu Liang Biography" says: There are [-] mu of well fields, and one public land.

"The tribute, assistance, and thoroughness of Jingtian are all owned by the lord, which has the typical characteristics of distribution according to capital."

Capital distributed according to capital is the meaning of capital of production means.

"In addition to distribution according to salary, the current Ming Dynasty also has distribution according to work. Work points are calculated according to the amount of labor, and then the labor results produced by the labor are distributed."

"Distribution according to work is actually not fair." Zhu Qiyu released a violent theory that distribution according to work is unfair.

Wu Jingman, the head of the Imperial Academy, asked suspiciously: "Distribution according to work is not fair?!"

The farm method adopts distribution according to work and calculating work points, which is one of the achievements of bypassing degrees. Even so, is it unfair?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Wu Zhangyuan, I asked you a question back then. Do you remember your answer if a person's knowledge and technology count as a person's fixed assets, current assets, or reserved assets?"

Wu Jing nodded and said: "Remember, one's knowledge and skills are one's fixed assets. Studying in private schools, government schools, and social schools is also an investment in oneself, which is the growth of personal fixed assets."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wu Jing and said, "Of course."

Wu Jing frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he relaxed his brows.

The premise of distribution according to work is the division of labor. As long as there is division of labor, there will inevitably be differences between types of work, so the distribution of technical posts and management posts will be much stronger than that of poor coolies.

Technical posts and management posts are naturally due to their own fixed assets.

Therefore, distribution according to work is essentially a way of distributing one's own fixed assets.

Wu Jing understood why His Majesty said that distribution according to work is relatively fair.

Zhu Qiyu asked in memory: "Wang Shangshu, if there is no bureaucracy in this world, what would the officialdom look like?"

"Isn't that a direct mess?" Wang Zhi replied immediately.

The bureaucratic system of officials has been the tradition of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times. Although Wang Zhi didn't know why His Majesty asked this question, he answered it immediately.

Wang Zhi couldn't even imagine a Ming Dynasty without bureaucracy, even if it wasn't a subjugated country.

When Zhu Qiyu asked, he just set up questions, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"Therefore, distribution according to work will also have layers of management. Then collective organizations such as officialdom and workshops, bureaucracy will inevitably emerge as the times require. Then the system of distribution according to work is inherently expropriating."

"So distribution according to work is not absolutely fair."

Zhu Qiyu's words caused a lot of discussion among the officials. As long as there is a bureaucracy, there must be top-down deprivation. This is beyond dispute.

There are four grades and sixteen levels of craftsmen, and the basic labor remuneration for each level is different. If there is a bureaucracy, there will inevitably be deprivation.

"Governor Li, let me ask you again, you have handled the case of abnormal female households with Li Xian in Jiangnan. Some of these abnormal female households are only five or six years old, and they have no productive capacity. What is the social root cause of the abnormal female households? "Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Binyan and talked about the big case of abnormal female households.

To this day, this case is still being handled, and the tragic situation of those women who were sent to the capital to die is shocking.

"Because they have no place to work, no labor, and naturally no fruits of labor." Li Binyan answered this question after serious thinking.

What is the reason for the existence of abnormal female households?

"Work makes people free, and work bestows human rights." Zhu Qiyu said helplessly: "If distribution is based on work, those who have lost their labor force and those who have no labor force will starve to death."

"As far as I know, many veterans of the Beijing camp were wounded on the battlefield. They threw their heads and blood for Ming Dynasty, regardless of life and death, and did not care about their own lives. As a result, they lost their ability to work, so do they also need to be distributed according to their work?"

"I can't be cold-blooded and ruthless, because they died for me, so I raised these wounded veterans. Before the Chinese New Year, I went to Daxing specially."

Daxing County is a gathering place for Ye Bu Shou’s family members to move inland. Zhu Qiyu goes there every year to visit and condolences to Ye Bu Shou’s family members. There are a lot of widows there. Every time Zhu Qi Yu goes, he will stay for a long time to listen to their stories .

Before Chen Yi returned to Beijing from Zhang Qiu's flood control, he also accompanied the magistrate of Daxing County once.

Jiang Yuan looked thoughtful, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I heard that Roman soldiers fought on the battlefield. After returning home, not only did their own homes change owners, but if they survived by luck, some of them would starve to death when they returned home injured."

"So their army, after capturing the city, will start looting the local area, and they can earn a little bit."

"Since then, the Romans lost their intention to join the army, and even fled every time they fought, and because of poor military discipline and random looting, the conflict between Rome and the barbarians deepened."

"The Romans lost their shield and sword, and Rome lost its people who were loyal to it."

Zhu Qiyu thought of the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng rebelled for more than ten years, he was always a rogue, he was beaten by Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng, and he was always in trouble.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, a severe drought occurred in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region. The Ming court had been in arrears of payment since the Wanli period. This coupled with the severe drought caused the low-level military officers on the three sides to join the camp of the rebel army.

Li Zicheng's strength is like riding a rocket, straight to the blue sky.

If the food and salary are enough, the gods will be broken.

Jin Lian asked in confusion: "Then, Your Majesty, what distribution system is fair? What distribution system is reasonable?"

Chapter 531 Income according to work, according to needs, according to capital

There has never been absolute fairness in the world, no matter when.

Jin Lian's question made everyone stare blankly at the Ming emperor.

What distribution method is the fairest distribution method, and what distribution method is the most reasonable distribution method?

The division of labor in society produced the fruits of social labor. How to give these fruits of labor to all the people in Ming Dynasty was the core of Jin Lian's problem.

In other words, Jin Lian was asking where Daming should go.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the slightly confused eyes of the ministers, thinking seriously.

This is the choice of the path.

As Yu Qian said, when the emperor killed King Jili, there was a cliff behind him, and he could only go forward, there was no retreat at all.

The way of distribution determines the social system. Daming stood at a historical fork in the road, and the officials walking on this fork in the road were all at a loss.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Mo Di imagined a world of great unity, that is, to love both non-aggression and love, and to love others like oneself."

"In Mo Di's theory, giving all the fruits of labor to those in need is a very fair way of distribution, according to need."

"During the Hongwu period, every Jia had terrified households supported by Quanjia. Many children grew up eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes. Their parents died in war, banditry, and famine. They were killed by their neighbors. grow up."

Baijiafan, Baijiayi, if translated, is socialized upbringing.

Daming once explored this kind of model in terms of system, but with Emperor Taizu Gao's dragon controlling guests, this abnormal household has gradually become a place where filth is hidden.

Those abnormal female households, living in Boai Township, seemed to be raised by socialization, but turned into a place where Yangzhou skinny horses were purchased, and it became a bloody and cruel mode of stripping.

There are also some wealthy households who have become abnormal households.

Originally, the policy of the imperial court was to give preferential treatment to odd households, a system that pursues fairness and distributes according to needs, but after a short period of time, it was broken and the place was full of mess.

Many wealthy households who drank famous wines such as Mao, Wu, and Jian, and drank Longtuan tea, transformed into abnormal households who did not pay taxes. , to enslave the people on the land.

"Distribute according to need?" Jin Lian was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, that's unrealistic."

Zhu Qiyu immediately nodded and said, "That's right, that's unrealistic."

"So the fairest thing is to distribute according to needs, the most reasonable is to distribute according to work, completely according to capital, it will speed up land annexation, the expenditure of the imperial court is getting bigger and bigger, but the tax base is declining day by day, and finally the income cannot make ends meet. In the day, the east wall is demolished to make up for the west wall."

"If you tear it down and make repairs, the house will naturally collapse."

Jin Lian understood.

His Majesty is a very pragmatic person. He will say, mention, and work hard in that direction when he knows that things cannot be done, but it is definitely not about proposing today, implementing it tomorrow, and seeing results the day after tomorrow.
