My history chat group

Zhang Liang asked: "Da Liangzao, most of the land here is owned by the honoraries, the gentry and landlords, the people have no land, or there is very little land...how to solve it?...Forced land division may cause civil unrest."

Before Wang Yu said anything, Zhuge Liang first said: "The Ming Dynasty here is dead, and there are no so-called honors. Their original land can be taken over by the household department and then distributed to other people who have no land.

Moreover, for families who died because of the war, the land became a land of no owner, which could also be taken over by the household.

As for those gentry landlords, they can re-measure all fields and collect taxes according to the amount of land. The more fields, the more taxes they pay.

Zhang Juzheng in the history of the Ming Dynasty did it before, and it worked.The land they occupy is forcibly returned or handed over to the household department."

Zhang Liang looked at the young Zhuge Liang and argued: "So, I am afraid that the gentry and landlords will stand on the opposite side of us. There are many scholars in the world from these groups. We just entered the capital, are we a little hasty?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, but didn't agree, and said: "It is precisely when the current situation is chaotic that we should make a heavy hammer and set laws and regulations, so that we can follow this in the future... The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. and also!"

Both make sense.

Wang Yu thought of a sentence: Political power comes from guns and poles!

As long as you control the army, you are not afraid of gentry and landlords.

Moreover, doing so can be in the interests of the general public and can win over people's hearts.

Moreover, it is not a landlord.It's just clearing the land and reclaiming the land they illegally obtained.It didn't hurt its roots.

Wang Yu said: "I will arrange soldiers and horses to accompany you, and those who have resisted will be arrested. In the past, the honors and the land without owners were returned to the household department, and then distributed to the landless people according to the actual situation.

Now that you have an idea, then Zhang Liang is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and Zhuge Liang is in charge of the Ministry of Household!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang saluted and responded.

"By the way, if the Ministry of Industry wants to repair the water conservancy, it will definitely need many people. It just so happens that there are a lot of refugees now. You can use the work-for-work method and hire them to provide food and accommodation. I think many people are willing to come."

Wang Yu suddenly remembered about the refugees everywhere.

"Relief for work is a wonderful way!"

Zhang Liang smiled. He also thought of this method. He didn't see so much history for nothing.

Chapter 076: Zhao Ji's pick, Li Qingzhao saves herself

The Forbidden City, the first three halls, was temporarily used by Wang Yu as an office location.

Today, all the officials in the capital came to Wumen. Most of them were Beijing officials from the Ming Dynasty and some officials from the time of Li Zicheng.

They were summoned by King Wang Yu of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that they were to be assessed and then re-arranged for official positions.

From time to time, only those who are called by their names can enter the palace and accept assessment interviews.

After the assessment and interview, let them out.

"Huh... I thought I couldn't get out."

Tang Zongjiang, the former servant of the household department, was already in his fifties.

He was one of the first people to enter.

"Master Tang, tell us what happened after entering?"

Some people gathered around.

"Don't worry, just ask some questions and answer truthfully."

Tang Zongjiang was reluctant to say more, because he saw the Ming Wang Wang Yu and the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu Zhuge Liang and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zhang Liang.

Especially the King Wang Yu of Ming Dynasty, the existence that dominates their life and death now, actually met him in person...I was very scared.

However, because Wang Yu disbanded the palace maids and eunuchs, news came out.

King Daming will not allow any more maids and eunuchs in the palace, and put the original emperor under house arrest... This news is shocking.

Many people wondered: What did King Daming do to abolish the emperor supported by Li Zicheng, is he not going to proclaim himself emperor?

Without waiting for people to figure it out, Wang Yu began to assess the hundred officials again to reorganize the six departments.

It is even more difficult to understand, whether this King Da Ming wants to become the emperor...

For a whole day, all officials were assessed or interviewed.Of course, Wang Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Liang will not interview everyone, they just choose the more promising ones for the interview.

After the assessment, the names of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang were spread.

"The new Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is Zhang Liang, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households is Zhuge Liang!"

What is surprising and intriguing is not their official position, but their name.

Zhang Liang!

Zhuge Liang!

They are all famous people in history. Who dares to take such a name easily?

Now there are two people like this!

In this period of this dynasty, officials have never heard of a person with the same name.

I don't know where King Daming got it?And also entrusted with an important task!

The officials were curious and puzzled.

...

On the second day, a notice was posted outside the Wumen, which was a list of six new officials.

The original official positions of most officials have changed, and among the six departments, the most people are in the ritual department, all of whom are idle.

After the list of the six departments came out, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs first convened officials from each department to discuss matters.

For the time being, Wang Yu also serves as a ministerial official book, and first of all, he must ensure the smooth flow of Shuntian Mansion’s government orders.

...

The six departments are tentatively scheduled, and under the cooperation of each other, a task of fully restoring agricultural production in the Shuntian Mansion will begin quickly.

The Ministry of Industry has set up points at various gates, posting notices to recruit a large number of laborers, including food and housing, and a certain amount of wages.

There are many refugees outside the capital.
