Chapter 1603: Recruiting troops in Yiwu (2)
“I see, my official’s understanding was wrong, please forgive me.”
Zhixian Zhao listened carefully to Zhu Ping’an’s explanation. After reading the contents of the two official documents, I suddenly realized that I had misunderstood, so I returned the two official documents to Zhu Pingan and apologized.
"I didn't make it clear in advance. Mr. Zhao acted impartially, so why did he commit any crime?" Zhu Ping'an smiled and waved his hand.
"Since your Excellency has been ordered to recruit militiamen, as the magistrate of Yiwu, I will fully cooperate." Magistrate Zhao expressed his position.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands in thanks.
"I asked you, sir, please don't blame me. There are many places in the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yiwu's reputation is not outstanding. I wonder why your Excellency chose Yiwu to recruit troops?" Zhao Zhixian asked Zhu Ping'an in confusion.
“I have heard about the Yiwu mining dispute. The people of Yiwu dare to fight, are not afraid of death, and are united as one. This deeply shocked me. With such a natural weapon, with a little training, they can become an elite army. , so I came to Yiwu to recruit troops. I came to Guixian today and witnessed a mining dispute with my own eyes, and I was even more convinced." Zhu Pingan replied simply.
"I see. Indeed, after Xianguan came to Yiwu, this was the first time he saw such fierce people who were not afraid of death." Zhao Zhixian sighed, "Speaking of which, the local people are fierce and tough, and when it comes to governance, they are quite good. It’s not easy.”
Speaking of this, Zhixian Zhao changed his tone, sighed and said slowly, “That being said, my lord wants to recruit troops. But it's not easy. Nowadays, Yiwu's mining competition is fierce. Different local clans in Yiwu are fighting for minerals, and Yiwu locals and outsiders are fighting for minerals. Once they compete for minerals, the most important thing in fighting is manpower. With more people, there is power. Everyone, if they participate in the recruitment, the number of members of the clan will be reduced, which will not be conducive to the competition for mines. The subordinates are worried that they will not easily participate in the recruitment. "
"I have thought of this for a long time, so I need Mr. Zhao to do me a favor." Zhu Pingan said to Magistrate Zhao.
When Zhu Ping'an was preparing to come to Yiwu to recruit troops, he had already thought about it. Especially after seeing the scene of the mine dispute in Yiwu, he knew even more clearly that if he wanted to recruit troops in Yiwu, he must first solve the Yiwu mine dispute.
"My lord, please give me your instructions. I am obligated to serve as an official. I am just worried that my lack of talent and wisdom will delay my lord's important affairs."
Zhao Zhixian returned the gift and did not refuse.
“The Yiwu Mining Conflict has caused heavy losses and it is time to end it. Please also ask Zhao County Magistrate to issue a notice to the entire county, one of which reiterates our national policy of prohibiting mining in the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, tin, aluminum, etc. in Yiwu Yiying minerals belong to the state, and private mining is strictly prohibited without government approval. Anyone who mines privately will be severely punished for theft," Zhu Pingan said slowly!
Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master Zhu, although we have implemented a policy of banning mining since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of banning mining has been loosened to this day. Moreover, Yiwu has many mines and little land, and the people Most of them make a living by mining. If mining is banned, it will be like cutting off the livelihood of the people. I am afraid that as soon as this notice comes out, Yiwu will be in chaos. If it is serious, it may lead to the government forcing the people to rebel. "
"Zhixian Zhao, please be patient. The content of the announcement I have not finished yet. In addition, the loosening of the mining ban policy is also inevitable for social development. However, although the mining ban policy is loosened, to a certain extent. Private operations are allowed, but this is based on government approval and physical payment to the government."
Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and said slowly.
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. The subordinate officials are anxious and lose their bearings when they are concerned. Please continue to give your orders." Zhao Zhixian said with a cupped hand.
Zhu Ping'an took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "Both, for the mining industry that has been occupied, after paying back the physical goods in accordance with the regulations, the government will recognize it and approve the reissue. The document allows the occupier to carry out mining and pay in kind in full and on time; all unoccupied and undiscovered mineral resources belong to the state, and anyone is strictly prohibited from occupying or mining in any way. Violators will be punished with theft. The crime will be severely punished. Anyone who uses force to fight for minerals, such as fighting with weapons, will be severely punished for robbery. For unoccupied or undiscovered mines, the government can organize manual mining and give priority to recruiting local people to mine. If there are not enough local people, Foreigners can be recruited, and the government may also allow private mining depending on the situation. Those who are interested in mining must apply to the government, and only after government approval can they mine and pay in kind on time and in full.”
After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Zhao Zhixian's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but nodded.
Recognizing that the mining industry has been occupied, the government will issue an approval document after the mineral occupiers pay the in-kind tax, so that vested interests (including mining clans and mining miners) will not be offended and there will be no need to worry about them. There is chaos;
For unoccupied mining, private occupation and mining are prohibited. Violators will be punished with theft, and those who fight with weapons to rob the mines will be punished with robbery. In this way, there is no need to worry about the recurrence of violence among the people. The struggle is mine.
In addition, for unoccupied mining, the government can recruit local people to mine or approve private mining. This way it takes the initiative and controls Yiwu.
This notice may solve the problems that have plagued Yiwu for nearly a hundred years!
Of course, the most important thing is that this is a notice posted under the instructions of Zhu Ping'an, deputy envoy of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Punishment and Prosecution. Even if the notice is inappropriate, Zhu Ping'an, who has a higher official position, will bear the responsibility.
Thinking of this, Zhixian Zhao didn’t want to delay for a moment, and said repeatedly, "Your Excellency is wise, thank you very much for explaining the problems of the century-old mining dispute in Yiwu. I will draft it now and have people post it in the county, towns and villages. Notice, know all about the county."
"Thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Zhao." Zhu Pingan handed over his hand and thanked him.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Your Majesty has explained to me the shortcomings of Yiwu's century-old mining conflict. It's too late for me to be grateful, so let's talk about hard work."
Zhao Zhixian said quickly.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Someone will be writing and posting notices." Zhao Zhixian said and was about to go down to make arrangements.
"Sir Zhao, please wait a moment. Please post this recruitment notice throughout the county at the same time. I have to work hard for your county clerk to copy and post several copies." Zhu Ping'an said, taking out a recruitment notice from his arms. Zhang's recruitment notice was handed over to Zhao Zhixian.
Zhixian Zhao took the notice, and the content of the notice came into view.
The recruitment notice is titled: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world - I ask you to use the kindness of the emperor and father to recruit soldiers who dare to fight in Yiwu." It calls on farmers and miners in Yiwu to put aside their past grudges and work together to defend their hometown. Fight against Japanese pirates.
It is eloquent, with more than a hundred words, and is very contagious. After reading it, your blood will surge all over your body, and you can't wait to join the army and serve the country immediately.
The number one scholar is worthy of being the number one scholar. This announcement alone is enough for him to learn from.
Especially the sentence in the title, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", is really breathtaking and full of admiration!
The words are concise and comprehensive, with endless implications and thought-provoking. It can be expected that this recruitment notice will be passed down for centuries. This sentence "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" will definitely become a famous saying that will be passed down through the ages!
The No. 1 Scholar is indeed the No. 1 Scholar, so you can’t accept it. (End of this chapter)
