Chapter 392 The finale
When Gao Gong heard Zhu Zaijing ask him a question, Gao Gong took a deep breath and finally spit out two words: "Anmin."
Zhu Zai Jing Shen nodded in agreement, and then asked: "How to calm the people?"
Gao Gong said: "Let the injured have medical treatment and the poor have fields. In this way, the unforgivable years can be healed." Healing the scars after this disaster has allowed the victims of Huazhou to recover as before."
Zhu Zaijing asked again: "It is easier to get medical treatment for the injured. It is just a matter of recruiting more doctors from other places. In the past, just let the people from Tai Hospital and Medical College stay for a while.”
"But it's not easy to work in the fields. Farming the land requires not only manpower, but also animal power, seeds, and weather. But these are exactly what the victims lack most."
" After a major disaster, 23 out of 10 people are dead, 23 out of 10 are injured, and 23 out of 10 people are old, young, poor, and weak. The remaining 10 to 20 percent is the available young labor force. Isn’t it a bit unrealistic for 20% of the young labor force to bear the burden of post-disaster reconstruction and individual families?”
“Although the imperial court also issued an edict to exempt the affected people from taxes? , but this is only exempted from the taxes levied by the court. Mr. Gao is also the chief of the special zone government. He should also know that if a local government wants to be fully operational, in addition to the officials appointed by the court, it must also hire additional officials. Hire all kinds of subordinate officials, yamen, and others.”
“But it is impossible for the officials who hired them to pay these people’s salaries and rations. In the end, the account will be settled on the yamen. However, the yamen, like the imperial court, is not a place of financial resources, so it can only levy taxes and fees on the people in the name of various miscellaneous taxes and fees. "
"So, even if the imperial court exempts the people in the disaster-stricken areas from taxes, The people still have to bear the huge burden of miscellaneous taxes, and these miscellaneous taxes are related to the administrative efficiency of the local government, and the court cannot issue an edict to exempt them. ”
"So under such circumstances, how can we allow the poor to rely on their fields to fulfill the various burdens I just mentioned above?"
Zhu Zaijing's series of rhetorical questions also gave Gao Gong a lot of attention. Asked silently, these problems cannot be solved with just a few empty words.
If you want to solve these problems, you must have real things that are real and feasible. Otherwise, it will be empty talk that will harm the country.
Zhu Zaijing looked at the silent Gao Gong and knew that these questions would be difficult for Gao Gong to ask now.
After all, the current Gao Gong is not a powerful cabinet minister, nor is he a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials. He is simply unable to come up with practical plans for the people below to implement.
Therefore, at this moment Gao Gong suddenly felt endless pressure, feeling that the issues he had considered in the past were still too simple.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Gao Gong like this and chuckled: "Mr. Gao, there is no need to be so frowning. Isn't it the ancients who said that 'stones from other mountains can attack jade'? Since the people in the disaster area are not young enough, we I would like to find ways to guide more landless young people from other areas to support reconstruction in disaster areas. For example, if the land cultivated has been cultivated for more than three years, the government can recognize it as their own.”
"In this way, many landless refugees can settle down and take root there. Slowly, the population and labor lost in the disaster area due to the earthquake will be replenished accordingly? Of course, to implement such a policy, it will take a while A corresponding administrative management system must be set up to prevent some corrupt officials from taking advantage of the loopholes.”
“So when specific matters are handled, there should be specific methods and clear rules. One-size-fits-all should not be used to save trouble. Once the things are arranged, I think everything will be fine."
When Gao Gong heard what Zhu Zaijing said, he suddenly became enlightened. Yes, if we can guide the landless and landless people in other provinces and regions, let them take root in the disaster areas and rebuild their homes, wouldn't many problems be solved?
Looking at Gao Gong's eyes that gradually brightened, Zhu Zaijing added: "Of course, in addition to these matters on the land, we also have to consider the affairs of all industries. After all, not all ordinary people are suitable to contribute. Farmers. There are always some people who are weak or have other reasons who cannot farm for a long time. We also need to give them a way to survive."
"So, I think we can do a good job in screening here. Screen the industry situation within it to see which industries are suitable for transfer to Huazhou, and also see which industries can set up branches in Huazhou.”
“If this move can be made well, Huazhou can not only quickly recover from the trauma after the earthquake, but also become a local benchmark for other places in Ming Dynasty to learn from its development experience.”
When Gao Gong heard this, he immediately turned to Zhu. Zai Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I will do it now!"
Zhu Zaijing nodded with satisfaction and said to Gao Gong: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gao. By the way, if the time is right, please invite Mr. Gao to invite the salt merchants in Beijing in the name of the president of the Beijing Special Economic Zone Development Bank." The person in charge of the bank account and the person in charge of the Shanxi merchant bank account, I have important matters to discuss with them."
When Gao Gong heard that Zhu Zaijing wanted to see these "low-class merchants", he immediately became nervous, " Why did the prince see them?"
Zhu Zaijing looked at the nervous Gao Gong, and he did not hide his thoughts. Zhu Zaijing continued to face Gao Gong: "Of course it is for the money! Reconstruction, it is difficult to solve the problem quickly and effectively by relying solely on the decrees and management of the imperial court."
"After all, I can't just keep giving to the people and officials below, right? Only by investing gold and silver can people be convinced, right? So, I want to meet the people in charge of these banks and talk to them about the incredible wealth and see if they have the courage to take it!"
Zhu Zaijing's words made Gao Gong a little confused. Since he was asking for money, how could he say that he was getting rich and powerful? What's the mystery in this?
Gao Gong didn't understand.
But Zhu Zaijing did not intend to continue to explain at this time, because these are advanced financial knowledge. Now that he told Gao Gong, he might not be able to understand immediately. It would be better to take advantage of everyone's time. Speak together.
You must know that the people in charge of bank accounts are not ordinary people. They are all rare financial talents in this era. Some words may be difficult for professional bureaucrats like Gao Gong to understand, but it is not necessarily the case for those people.
Maybe they can get it right, and they can't help but rush to invest a lot of money in exchange for future benefits!
Therefore, the finale must be at the most critical moment!
Only in this way can a play reach its climax and be sung to its fullest!
