¡°Finally, let¡¯s talk about the centralization of resources. The so-called centralization of resources refers to the resources that the court can control.¡±
Liu Jin looked at everyone and continued.
"Although gold and silver are very important to the court and the country, gold and silver only represent wealth. In itself, they cannot be eaten or drunk, so they do not have much effect."
"Things like food may seem inconspicuous at ordinary times, but they are truly effective. Once a famine occurs, the role of food can be revealed."
"There are other things similar to food, such as coal. Coal can be used for heating. Once a cold disaster occurs, coal can be quickly allocated for disaster relief."
¡°Another example is steel. Steel can be used to make weapons and equipment, tools for production, and it can also be used to build bridges, roads, etc.¡±
¡°In addition, there are resources such as cotton, cloth, salt, etc. These resources are all important materials related to the national economy and people¡¯s livelihood, but most of them are not in the hands of the court and the country, but in the hands of merchants and trading houses.¡±
¡°The so-called centralization of resources is a bit similar to the large granaries built by the imperial court. They are usually used to store food and can be used to provide relief to victims in times of famine.¡±
¡°But this is only a very preliminary and crude form of resource centralization.¡±
"For true resource centralization, the court and the country should have control over a large number of various resources, such as food, cloth, steel, cement, salt, horses, etc."
¡°We have a lot of resources in our hands that can be used immediately if needed.¡±
"In terms of food, if the court has a large amount of food in its hands, and the price of food rises too fast, the court can sell a large amount of food to stabilize food prices."
"When the price of grain is too low and the price of grain hurts farmers, the court can spend a lot of money to purchase grain to stabilize grain prices and protect farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain."
"But now in the many warehouses established by the imperial court, the grain in these warehouses is only taxed grain collected from various places, not the grain hoarded by the imperial court. It cannot be regarded as the control of resources, but can only be regarded as a kind of tax."
Liu Jin finished speaking in one breath, and he could take a breath.
In fact, to put it simply, as the Ming Dynasty developed into the capitalist era and the colonial era, the way the Ming Dynasty managed the country could no longer be as extensive as before, but should slowly change to the national management model of later generations. , need more refined management.
Only by managing all aspects of the country, from macro-control to micro-control, can we adapt to the needs of the times.
"Hmm~"
Everyone listened carefully and thought carefully while listening. After listening, everyone nodded and had to admire it from the bottom of their hearts.
If we want them to talk about how to govern the country and how to centralize power, civil servants such as Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Zhong Zhong all estimate that they want to govern the country with benevolence, justice, morality, and govern the world with filial piety. They are all false and empty words. There is no practical content.
"But Liu Jin was able to explain in a very systematic and detailed manner how to centralize power, the benefits and functions of centralization, etc. He spoke clearly and clearly, and it was immediately clear to people how to do it.
No matter how big the territory of the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how populous it is, no matter how many tribes it manages, there will be no problem as long as it is operated according to Liu Jin's method. The entire country can be firmly controlled, and it will always be under the governance of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Down.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!"
Emperor Hongzhi also let out a long sigh. He had never known so clearly how to govern a country and how to govern a country well.
The Confucian classics and history books that I have read since childhood, the art of emperors, the ways of governing the country, etc. that I have learned are not as clear and thorough as those taught by Liu Jin. The key is to make them easier to understand.
Emperor Hongzhi was actually a little panicked at the time. The territory of the Ming Dynasty was really too big. The original two capitals and thirteen provinces had already kept Emperor Hongzhi busy. Now the territory is dozens of times larger than before. In addition, with this Emperor Hongzhi didn't know how to manage the many newly incorporated tribes.
Now he is fine, he is confident, he just needs to grasp the core.
"Your Majesty, thank you~"
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
Liu Jin then thought for a while and said: "In fact, the main core problem that our Ming Dynasty is facing now is actually a human problem."
?They are like water. Even if they are together, they are still distinct. After all, they are not a family. "
Liu Jin immediately laughed. Surrendering to you just means surrendering to you, but it does not mean that they will not rebel in the future. You treat them as one of your own, but they have never treated you as a family member.
Liu Jin firmly believes in the view put forward by many scholars in later generations that only ideological and cultural identity is the strongest. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting larger and larger, and more and more tribes are joining. If this concept is established, in the future, You will definitely suffer a big loss.
"Those who are not from our race must have different minds. This is an iron law that has been verified by the blood of countless people at all times and in all countries."
Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others all nodded in agreement after hearing this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
