Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 964: You Can’T Deliberately Shirk It!

Su Ran said helplessly: "I didn't mean to shirk it, you heard it too."

"Our plan has just begun to be implemented."

"Yamen, gentry, and merchants at all levels refused to cooperate..."

"You mean, they all think they are superior, so they look down on us farmers?"

"That's pretty much what it means. Anyway, I don't know why they feel this way..."

"But I'm sure of one thing, they are planning to make us farmers the king!"

Zhang Qian "Jiu Jiu San" shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Although the farmers are poor and destitute, they are very united..."

Su Ran said: "Why don't I understand this, but I also have a way."

“Everything is lacking these days, except people!”

"You mean... throw money at it?"

"This is the fastest and most direct way!"

"Okay, just let it go and do whatever you want."

Su Ran said hehely: "As you know, my salary is not much. I rely on my salary to support my whole family..."

Zhang Qianji rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Who cares about your money now? Your money is the target of their robbery!"

Su Ran flattered him and said, "You are so smart, no wonder you are able to be a household secretary. You really deserve your reputation."

Zhang Qianji waved his hand speechlessly.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly."

Su Ran's plan is simple, collect food from across the country.

In the name of the Imperial College, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs and other departments.

Collect grain taxes from the people across the country.

Due to the large amount, there must be an imperial inspector.

In addition, Ming Dynasty will allocate 10 million taels of silver.

As the basic support for this grain collection plan.

According to the plan proposed by Su Ran.

First, each household is required to pay a 10% tax.

This requirement is not high.

After all, farmers can't earn a few taels of silver from production in a year.

10% is nothing to them.

As for the crushing of grain merchants, there is no problem at all.

All it takes is a small piece of land to be mortgaged.

You will be able to borrow a large amount of grain, and even the grain merchants will not be able to run away.

"Dong dong dong..." Su Ran was writing furiously in the room when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He raised his head and found that it was Zhang Qianji.

Zhang Qianji said: "I'm on duty tonight, so I stopped by to see if you were lazy."

Su Ran smiled coquettishly and said nothing.

"By the way, your Majesty summoned all the cabinet ministers this morning to discuss a major matter related to the future of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Qianji suddenly said mysteriously.

"Your Majesty is planning to establish an agency of the Ministry of Agriculture to jointly organize nationwide food famine relief in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel...

"Organization of the Ministry of Agriculture?" Su Ran was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Qianji nodded and said: "Well, it is a department specifically responsible for food relief, jointly established by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Education.

Su Ran suddenly realized, "That's it."

"This is a good thing!"

"Yes, it is indeed a good thing, but it is a bit troublesome.

Zhang Qianji pondered for a moment and said:

“Because it was temporarily established, there are too many departments involved.

"The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Officials occupy two departments respectively, and the other ones are the Ministry of War."

"There is also the Ministry of Industry, which has caused a serious problem..."

"What's serious?"

Su Ran asked curiously.

"The authority of this Ministry of Agriculture agency is only limited to the provinces and has no influence on the capital. 5.2 Su Ran raised his eyebrows, "In other words, we can only deal with farmers?"

"Yes, and the Ministry of Agriculture has a rule that does not allow private establishment of government offices."

Su Ran was surprised: "Such an overbearing rule?"

Zhang Qianji said: "There is no way, we are an agricultural power."

"This kind of thing is only suitable for the special environment of our Ming Dynasty."

"Then wouldn't I become an orphan?"

"Pfft..."
