My Daming New Empire

However, the Prince's Mansion has no management authority over the dukes, marquises, and earls on the site. They only have 5.00% of the income and reputation management rights.

Taxes are calculated according to land income and breeding income, which does not include minerals on the land.The ownership of all minerals belongs to the imperial court, and the owner of the land is responsible for the development, but only [-]% of the income is earned, and taxes are payable for the rest.

Moreover, they can only mine, and all the refining must be handed over to the imperial court. Local officials are responsible for setting up workshops, and internal supervisors are responsible for transactions.

In addition, the imperial court is also responsible for the provision of production tools for each family, and if there are mines, it is also responsible for providing mining tools.

In addition to people, it means that the imperial court has to bear the initial investment in its initial stage.

Although the territory of these hundreds of noble families is reduced by half at every level, the smallest earl can still divide hundreds of miles of land, and most of the income from this land belongs to them.

The imperial court will use these taxes to establish a three-level management government. One is the Governor's Mansion, which is responsible for the security and protection of the entire South Continent.

Then there are seventeen state capitals, which are responsible for various managements on each prince's site.Finally, it is the lowest-level management system based on the county government, which is responsible for the local people's livelihood.

Civil officials are in charge of production, agriculture, taxation, and are responsible for coordinating conflicts between regions, while internal supervisors are in charge of the commercial field and control imports and exports.Then the Navy is directly under the Governor's Mansion, based in major ports, and is responsible for maintaining order.

It is worth mentioning that Nanzhou does not have an army.Because there are no foreign enemies in this land, and there are only hundreds of thousands of natives, it is impossible for them to be opponents of the Ming people.

Apart from the fact that each of the major palaces can bring a guard of 3000 people from Daming, the entire Nanzhou has no military power.

Moreover, the imperial court also issued a death order, strictly prohibiting any palace from developing its own power, and the number of guards should not exceed [-].

This is also to prevent the major palaces from becoming bigger in the future and have a self-reliant heart.

In order to maximize the development of Nanzhou without destroying it, Zhu Zhanji launched the Nanzhou Development Guide.

Except for a few areas in the south and east of South Africa that grow food and practice food self-sufficiency, most of the area is designated as pasture.

In this development guide, it is clearly proposed to build Nanzhou into a military horse base, wool base, and mineral base of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the concept of land desertification was proposed for the first time, and the idea of ​​protecting grasslands was also implemented in the northwest area.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not the original Ming Dynasty. Nanyang's food has been continuously transported to the inland, and there is no shortage of food.

Because there is no shortage of food, the price of food is low, making it impossible to earn money from farming, and correspondingly reduces land mergers.

Of course, the main reason is that the business of Daming is developing rapidly today, and the benefits of business far exceed the benefits of land.

Coupled with the immigration policy that has been implemented over the years, the population in the southeast and central plains has been losing to all directions.

The Ming Dynasty was also the most powerful period for the government to implement immigration. The pattern of population genealogy in later generations of China was actually established during the Ming Dynasty.

Until the 21st century, most people still know the past of the immigration of the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi.

It's just that the immigrants during Zhu Yuanzhang's period were cruel and did not consider the life and death of ordinary people at all.

But in the Yongle period, especially in recent years, the imperial court had sufficient funds, and cement roads and post stations were everywhere along the way.

People who receive immigration stickers can not only be taken care of during the immigration process, but also get free food, seeds, and tools after arriving at the destination.

Trees move to death, people move to life.When a large amount of land can be obtained and a family can be settled down, the power that the people can explode is enormous.

In the three years since Zhu Zhanji came back, not counting Tang Saier and his 4 people who immigrated from Shandong to the far west, from Shandong and Shanxi to Nuergandusi in the northeast, and the people in Beihai (Lake Baikal) More than 20.

In the southeastern area with a larger population, more than one million people immigrated to Dongfan (Wanwan), Luzon, Borneo, Star City, Old Port, and Maluku (Spice Islands).

The population of Daming has exceeded 6000 million, and the people who immigrated are still a small number, and they are also local poor.

When their immigrants left, Zhu Zhanji was not worried about making Daming hollow. On the contrary, because many poor people left, many conflicts in the local area were reduced.

For this Nanzhou immigration development, the navy alone will send [-] people, and more than half of the navy will be transferred from the army to the navy.

After Zhu Di returned from the Western Expedition, a large number of soldiers faced a situation where there was no battle to fight.

They are military households and can only fight wars. At this time, entering the navy and obtaining a large area of ​​land in Nanzhou has become a good way out for them.

They will not be out of the control of the navy for the time being, and will be stationed in Nanzhou for three years at the military expense paid by the imperial court. In the future, they can choose to immigrate to Nanzhou with their families or return to China.

They are only the first batch. In the future, more armies will be transferred to the navy.Whether it is South Africa, Europe, South Asia, or East Continent, a large number of naval officers and soldiers are required to be stationed.

On the contrary, because there are no enemies in the Ming Dynasty, so many soldiers are not needed.

In this era, Ming's army will begin to streamline, specialize, and sharpen.

During the period before Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji's abdication ceremony, all parts of Ming Dynasty were boiling. They were not because of the change of the emperor, but because the army was going to be transferred from the army to the navy.

And the major palaces are also recruiting more people to go to Nanzhou with them. They use various means and various preferential conditions to attract people to follow them.

In addition to the fact that the bottom line of the imperial court cannot be broken, the preferential conditions promised by many palaces to the people are almost equal to those of the imperial court.

As long as someone is willing to follow them and settle down there, these people will be wealth in the future.

So even if they have no direct interests, they can still develop at different speeds due to the size of the population.

However, many palaces are relatively conservative, and only a few are radical.Because they don't know yet, which area they will be assigned to.

It would be better if they were assigned to areas with fertile land, no matter how many people they could afford to support.But if they are assigned to barren areas, the more people there are, the bigger the food problem will be.

But they can only wait until after the abdication ceremony to draw lots.

Yes, in order to show fairness, the Seventeen Prince's Mansions will only draw lots.Nanzhou is divided into 17 yuan areas, compiled from one to NO.17.

The Prince's Mansion draws lots twice, the first draw draws the order of the lottery, and the second draws the area in order.

As for which area you can be allocated, it depends on your luck.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, there is no area in Nanzhou, okay? Even the most desolate northwest will be the world's largest iron ore base in the future.

It's just that, in this day and age, it doesn't get developed that quickly.

The area of ​​the Prince's Mansion will be drawn by lottery, but Zhu Zhanji will uniformly allocate the sites of all the nobles.

It is impossible for a duke who has made great achievements to draw a piece of desert, while an inherited wimpy earl occupies a piece of gold mine.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji has been harassed by all the nobles in the capital during this time.Zhu Zhanji was so annoyed that he asked people to post the three prohibitions outside the imperial city, so that everyone could settle down.

One is not allowed to covet Dongzhou, and Dongzhou will no longer allocate the area.If you don't dare, cancel the enfeoffment of Nanzhou.

Second, it is not allowed to bribe the servants to affect the distribution.Once discovered, the enfeoffment area will be deprived.

Third, no collusion with the navy is allowed to attract manpower for future development. Once discovered, the entrustment will be halved.

As soon as these three prohibitions came out, those nobles who were uncertain in their hearts seemed to have been poured with cold water, and they immediately became more stable.

Next, those civil servants started to move.

Compared with nobles who can be entrusted with feudal titles and enjoy the privileges of ancient feudalism on the land, civil servants are of course unwilling to watch such great benefits being obtained by them.
