Of course, this world is not black or white.

It is not that it is not to say that the establishment of six ministries and nine ministers in Nanjing would be abolished as the capital of Nanjing.

The only way to deal with this matter is only one word: drag.

That's right, just drag.

Chongzhen said, "You two, let me think about it first."

Wang Yongguang and Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "I sue my subordinates."

After the two left, Chongzhen threw the filling of the officials of the six ministers of Nanjing aside.

At this time, there is no way to talk about the destructive things of the six ministries and nine ministers in Nanjing.

In the future, there will only be a prefect and a governor's yamen.

This incident made Zhou Yanru mention it, and those people's mouths will basically squirt towards Zhou Yanru tomorrow.

The friction between the cabinet and the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty always existed, and whoever took office in the cabinet would be criticized.

Since Zhou Yanru has become the chief assistant, he must be mentally prepared.

After waiting for a long time, no one mentioned it again.

Two days later, the target of the trolls was indeed shifted to Zhou Yanru.

This was revealed by Wang Yongguang. Wang Yongguang said that Zhou Yanru suggested that the emperor abolish Nanjing and not establish six ministries and nine ministers.

Zhou Yanru said it was very unfair. I just said that I should not establish six ministries and nine ministers, and did not say that I would abolish Nanjing. Moreover, these meanings were all the emperor's intentions, and I was just a tool person.

He was wronged and wronged, even if he felt wronged, he had to take responsibility.

After temporarily blocking those sounds, Chongzhen began to concentrate on solving several important things in front of him.

He cannot have too much noise at the moment, so he can only start from the inside.

Early in the morning of September 20, Chongzhen and his men left Beijing and rushed towards Daxing County.

The chief minister Zhou Yanru also brought with him, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture Qiu Hejia, and Song Yingxing from the Agricultural Council also brought him.

The reform of A has begun to be piloted in Shuntian Prefecture, and Chongzhen wanted to see how it worked.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Chongzhen and his group arrived in Xindian Village, Daxing County in a low-key manner.

The Lijia system does not mean that it has been completely abolished, but has been regulated from the perspective of power.

Why can't the Lijia system be cancelled directly?

Surely not.

The Lijia system is related to household registration statistics, taxation and other major issues.

The current reform is actually adding a village to Lijia.

The lowest level administration in the Ming Dynasty was a county, without a village level, which was equivalent to the fact that most rural people were the village heads of landlords and gentry.

And there are countless families in Lijia.

There are family rules in the family, and the clan leader manages the entire family.

In fact, the productivity at the bottom is controlled by the inner and clan leaders.

If Zhang Chen wanted to promote the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty in the later period, he would have to have productivity, and productivity was bound to layers of dependence.

Therefore, the power structure at the grassroots level must be changed.

Now that the village level has been launched, each Lijia has been managed by the village.

A village manages eight lijia under the village. The village chief is appointed by the court and belongs to the court officials. The official rank is the ninth rank.

Not only are villages arranged, 8 villages are one town, and the town has a mayor and an official rank of eighth rank.

This is the standard configuration for later generations.

This administrative system actually requires the deepest power at the grassroots level.

Then the readers who are diligent and eager to ask are again asked questions.

The ancients were really so stupid, didn’t you know how to set it up?

You should know that China's ancient administration was the most refined administration in the world. In this era, Europe and the Middle East were crushed into slags by China in administrative management.

For example, Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty had a population of 1.7 million.

To manage so many people, without any problems, you have to be very refined in administration and culture.

In the same era, big cities like Europe, Florence and Paris only had a population of more than 100,000, which was already at their limit of management.

If the population of a certain European city suddenly reaches the level of Nanjing, war will break out directly, allowing the war to reset the population.

Since the management in ancient China was so refined, why didn’t the ancients set up town mayors and village mayors?

There is only one answer: the limitations of productivity.

Yes, it is the limitation of productivity.

The limitations of productivity are mainly reflected in transportation.

How do you say this?

There were 1,427 counties in the Ming Dynasty. Each county had 8 town mayors, so 11,416 town mayors were needed. Each town had 8 village mayors, and the number of village mayors must reach 91,328.

This is just the grassroots officials in villages and towns. This number is basically the same as the number of administrative officials in the Ming Dynasty.

If this is true, it will be equivalent to double the number of officials directly.

This does not count the other establishments in the village and town in the future, such as directors.

The most important thing is not the number of people, but the limitation of transportation will lead to very slow communication between counties and towns and villages.

Setting is equivalent to not setting it.

Therefore, no town mayor or village mayor, no village mayor.

Because when the founding emperor set up the system, he always calculated the accounts. After setting it up, it was equivalent to not setting it up and he had to pay a salary. Isn’t this a cause for his own fault?

Then why do time travelers come and set it up?

Is he unqualified in mathematics?

Mathematics is barely qualified.

Isn't this paving a cement road?

Isn't this the whole steam engine?

Isn’t this a large expansion of the horse farm?

Isn’t this just piloted in Shuntian Mansion?

What is a closed loop of power structure?

It is whether the highest leader to the grassroots leader can control the grassroots people. This is the closed loop, which was called a large power vacuum before the Ming Dynasty.

Do the power vacuum zones want to mobilize productivity and mobilize people to join the army to defend their country?

This is obviously impossible.

The Nanjing case is the best lesson.

Establishing town mayors and village mayors and improving transportation is the most basic condition for imperial power to go to the countryside.

Although officials will become bloated, there is nothing we can do about it. China is too big and there are too many people. If you want to manage such a huge country in a refined manner, you don’t want too many people. Why do you have to take up all good things?

Chongzhen saw along the way that many farmers in the fields were working, some were harvesting sweet potatoes, some were harvesting vegetables, and some were harvesting fruits.

During several tax rectifications, Shuntian Prefecture has carried out large-scale rectification of landlords, and the influence of landlords in Shuntian Prefecture has continued to weaken.

At present, the farmers in the fields are free farmers, with their own fields and those who have mastered the means of production.

Zhou Yanru said: "Young Master, the first village chief in Xindian Village is Xu Zhengqing. He is a student who just graduated from National Peking University. He arrived here five days ago."

“He is a student at the Agricultural College.”

“Where are others?”

"It should be in the village at this time."

"Go and take a look."

As soon as everyone entered the village, they saw a group of people gathered there from a distance.

"You are Xu Zhengqing! I thought you were! You are the village chief? You deserve it!" The person who spoke was a young man about 18 years old, wearing a long suit, and he looked like a scholar.

He is not just a scholar, he is also a student of the Imperial College.
