On the fourth day of the second month, on the "Holy Day" (Zhu Cilang's birthday), all officials did not have a holiday.

They are nervously implementing and promulgating a series of reform measures formulated by Emperor Tianwu and the cabinet, and announcing the implementation of new policies across the country.

Zhu Cixuan published a long edict in the "Imperial Ming Times" to inform the people of the world and issued many political programmatic policies, which formulated the political goals and action policies for the Ming Dynasty in the next twenty years.

"It has been 277 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and I have walked a thorny road soaked in blood and tears!"

"It has both the prosperous era of Yongle and the grand occasion of Zheng He's seven-day sunset, and has experienced poverty, humiliation and national humiliation!"

"The Ming Dynasty has been suffering for more than 200 years, and has accumulated problems for a long time. After decades of wars, people's livelihood has withered. They guard rich land and are poor. They have strong people and weak soldiers. They have been at peace with mountains and rivers. They have no comprehensive and powerful national strength. Whenever I think about it, I can't sleep all night long..."

In Nanjing City, by the Qinhuai River, and in the major restaurants around the Jiangnan Gongyuan, countless scholars who came to participate in the imperial examinations put down their wine glasses and listened carefully to the gentleman's singing on the storytelling stand.

The imperial examination is imminent, and the emperor's policies must be focused on these, and it can be said that they will be able to get the exam 100%!

"It was a time of great struggle, and foreign barbarians frequently attacked each other. If our Ming Dynasty was still conservative and followed the old system, it would be better to live in seclusion!"

"As the saying goes, if you are poor, you think, if you think, you change, and if you change, you will be able to understand. Only innovation is the only way to make the empire powerful!"

"I am here to tell the subjects of heaven and earth that the future of the Ming Dynasty will embark on an unprecedented path!"

In the south of the Yangtze River, the first area to reach newspapers, the people stopped around the newsstands in the streets and alleys, with expectations in their eyes, hoping that there will be some policies that benefit the people in the new policy.

"The foundation of national strength lies in the common people, and the soul lies in the temple. The new policy is the law of enriching the country and strengthening the people."

"The new policies of the country are: unified governance to govern the country, rewarding rural and commercial enterprises to enrich the country, rewarding military merits to strengthen the army, and being upright to upright will correct the people!"

It did not disappoint the people. Emperor Tianwu mentioned many new policies that benefit the people in his later policies, which have become a disadvantage for the ages.

In terms of social system, Emperor Tianwu once again stated that the identity system of "scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants" in the traditional era was completely abolished and implemented nationwide.

It is clearly ordered that all provinces be exempted from craftsmen for the people and exempt from the price of craftsmen in Beijing. The handicrafts and craftsmen required by the government will be changed to the employment system, and the labor-based value will be calculated.

In this way, the labor enthusiasm of handicraft workers has been greatly improved, which has greatly promoted the development of handicrafts.

Faced with ordinary poor people, Emperor Tianwu abolished all contracts for selling themselves, prohibited all types of people selling, and declared that all people selling are illegal, and violators will be punished by law!

Furthermore, the custom of women binding their feet is abolished and the drowning of infants is prohibited and is classified as illegal!

The people are most concerned about land and tax policies.

The "New Deal" mentioned that replacing the national land with "national fields" means abolishing the private ownership of land and implementing the state-owned land.

Some landlords with land will not be confiscated by the court, but they will not be allowed to buy or sell them in private areas and can only trade them with the government.

For those who do not have land, they shall be assigned to receive land according to their household registration and contracted farming, but they shall bear certain obligations, such as serving in the military.

Farmers lose their land due to increasingly serious land annexation, and the fundamental reason for land annexation is also the land transaction.

The national field system stipulates that land is owned by the state, and no private purchase and sale of land can be fundamentally solved by the phenomenon of farmers being thrown out of the land. Farmers with fields will naturally not rebel.

China has been state-owned for land since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and later it was replaced by feudal private land ownership after the Warring States Period. After two thousand years of development, private land ownership has become the main form of feudal land system.

Although Zhu Cixuan's move was better than the rulers of all dynasties, he was obviously challenging the gentry in the world. Once this edict was issued, it would inevitably be strongly opposed by the owners of landlords of all sizes.

There were even some landlords and bureaucrats who raised troops to resist, just like the state-owned land ownership that dealt with Wang Mang's new policy.

In this regard, the "New Deal" specifically stipulates that if someone dares to attack the national field system and incites people to destroy the laws, he will be exiled to the Protectorate of the Northern Protectorate of the Conquest of the Eastern Protectorate, and confiscate all land and property.

In addition to abolishing the original land policy, the court will implement a new local tax policy, abolish tax checkpoints in various places, and abolish all miscellaneous taxes other than regular taxes!

In places that have not experienced war or natural disasters, all places that have not experienced any war will be subject to a deposit and acres.

In places with natural disasters, tax exemption will be for one year, in places north of the Yangtze River, tax exemption will be for two years, and in places with severe disasters such as Shaanxi, tax exemption will be for three years.

During the tax exemption period, no matter what agricultural tax or commercial tax, the court would charge a single copper coin, so the people would rest and resume production.

Now the major natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty have basically passed. According to scientific research, the temperature during the Little Ice Age will begin to rise rapidly after 1650 (the seventh year of Tianwu).

Therefore, in history, the so-called "Kang and Qianlong Prosperity Era" of the Qing Dynasty was actually just a weakening of disaster after the temperature rebounded. (The new version of the history textbook of middle school has deleted the "Kang and Qianlong Prosperity Era")

The prosperous era of Tianwu dynasty will not be regarded as a prosperous era after disaster reduction, but will fundamentally achieve a prosperous country and a strong people and a prosperous and confident!

In the main hall of the Ming Dynasty Merchants Federation in Changzhou Prefecture, Zhili, hundreds of wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan gathered to attend classes.

"Reorganize all the money shops and bill numbers into the Central Bank of Daming, and innovate the national financial industry with the central bank as the leader, and promote the development of the imperial financial industry..."

After reading this sentence, Zhang Dabiao looked suspicious at the Chamber of Commerce. He really didn't understand why the word "financial" in the "New Deal" meant?

Zhang Dabiao looked around and finally looked at Wu Cheng, general manager of the Royal Group, and asked politely: "Mr. Wu, you are in charge of the financial power of the Royal Treasury. You are a celebrity around His Majesty. You have also run Mingshang Bank. What do you think this policy is meant?"

The wealthy businessmen also clasped their fists and said, "President Wu is asking for advice!"

Since the Eight Great Shanxi merchants were searched and the salt merchants were stripped down, the business between Wu Cheng and Zhang Dabiao and other merchants became closer and closer.

After Zhu Cixuan ascended the throne, a huge royal group gradually emerged and began to appear in the eyes of the world, becoming the main source of income for the royal treasury.

Wu Chengze was appointed as the general manager of the Royal Group by Zhu Cixuan, who was responsible for managing and operating the Royal Group. He had an annual salary of 10,000 taels plus performance commission, profit dividends, and earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver annually, truly reaching the peak of his life.

The word "manager" was read by the businessmen who had read the book here understands the meaning of management, because Zhu Xi, a Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty, mentioned in "Answer to Gao Guoying": "If the manager of the world affairs and business about the past and present, I am afraid that the power of today will not be easily reached."
