In the 10th month of the lunar calendar, winter is approaching, and the temperature in the north is falling rapidly. People begin to wear thick cotton jackets to resist the coming of winter.

This year, the people in the northern provinces have had a lot of life. First, the burden of corvee labor was greatly reduced. In the past, although the land tax in the Ming Dynasty was relatively low, corvee labor was relatively heavy. Of course, corvee labor was not very strong since it could be paid, but the construction of water conservancy facilities was over.&1t;/p>

Since the introduction of the "Corée Service Act", the burden on corvee service for the people of all provinces across the country has been reduced. At the same time, Zhu Youjiao has exempted a lot of land tax in the north, especially in northern Shaanxi. The land tax was directly exempted for three years, mainly because he was afraid that the farmers would not survive and were forced to be carried away by thieves. At the same time, the government in northern Shaanxi was strictly prohibited from urging officials to avoid the situation of officials being confused and rebellious.&1t;/p>

In order to thoroughly ensure the insurance, Zhu Youxiao also increased the salary of local officials in northern Shaanxi to prevent some people from borrowing Beijing debts and other things, and thus frantically collecting people's wealth and cream.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao, the poorer areas of Gansu, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Anhui have also exempted land tax.&1t;/p>

The income of land tax in the north is only 6 million stones a year, and it is still summer and autumn grain, which is not as good as the income of the imperial village. If you should be exempted, please do not!&1t;/p>

In addition to those areas with poor people's livelihood, and those affected areas, Zhu Youxiao also exempted land tax for one to three years and transferred enough food and materials for disaster relief.&1t;/p>

Over the whole year, nearly two million shi of land tax was exempted. The money and grain spent on disaster relief also reached more than three million yuan. Together, nearly six million yuan was spent.&1t;/p>

Although the cost is a bit high, the effect is still very good. The people of various provinces have no turmoil due to the relief of the court, land tax and labor service reduction. There are no turmoil. There are no large numbers of people starving to death, and there are no tragic situations of the cannibalism of people. The people in the affected areas have also resumed production under the relief of the court, and have not been transformed into social instability factors.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty showed a stable situation in the second year of Tianqi. In Liaodong, wild boar skins did not find any flaws in the second year of Tianqi. In addition, Liaodong Town, Jinzhou Town, and Dongjiang Town Ming army were generally in a defensive posture. It was mainly guerrilla warfare, so the situation in Liaodong also stabilized in the second year of Tianqi.&1t;/p>

Keep your foot firm, and the rhythm is gradually being captured by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

The Royal Military Academy and Royal Academy of Sciences were in full swing at this time. The Royal Academy of Sciences recruited students in the second phase, and more people participated.&1t;/p>

So many scholars and juren who could not become officials in the Ming Dynasty came to their senses and applied for the Royal Academy of Sciences. The good treatment and opportunities of the Royal Academy of Sciences have become a new way out.&1t;/p>

If you want to talk about the opportunities of the Royal Academy of Sciences, there are so many. First, the Royal Academy of Sciences can enter the officialdom from the Ministry of Industry, which is a reform made by the Royal Academy of Sciences this year. Moreover, the admission to the Royal Academy of Sciences does not affect the imperial examination. After entering the Royal Academy of Sciences, the court will support them for three years. If they cannot keep up with their studies in three years, they will not be expelled. However, the court will no longer issue subsidies. If they fail the graduation exam, they can continue to study until they pass the graduation exam or do not want to study.&1t;/p>

There is no way to do such a loose system. After all, the cost of cultivating a scholar these days is relatively high. The Royal Academy of Sciences has also paid a certain amount of cost to absorb these scholars to study mathematics, physics and chemistry. This is not a time when a brick is smashed or a few college students. This is all I can do.&1t;/p>

Some scholars from the Royal Academy of Sciences who applied for the Royal Academy of Sciences even went to the Royal Academy of Sciences to eat and drink for free and continue to study the eight-legged essay.&1t;/p>

For those who have this idea, I can only laugh. Because Enke in the first year of Tianqi, the palace examination was finally held in the second year of Tianqi, and Zhu Youxiao probably would not have the idea of ​​opening the imperial examination in the future. Of course, this idea cannot be stated explicitly, because the imperial examination system is the heavenly rank of scholars all over the world to be promoted to the ruling class. Once the imperial examination system is blatantly abolished, it will lead to the confrontation between Confucian literati in the world, which will definitely be a devastating result for a feudal dynasty.&1t;/p>

But the imperial examination is once every few years after all, and at that time, it can be cancelled with various excuses and then postponed infinitely.&1t;/p>

Another very important opportunity to apply for the Royal Academy of Sciences is to be able to make money. Many students have learned some patents by studying mathematics, physics and chemistry. Several of them have obtained rich returns after putting them into use or selling them to Royal Capital. Of course, there are more patents that are not valuable, and many patents are actually useless.&1t;/p>

There are also many people applying for the Royal Military Academy, because after graduation, they can directly become officers and obtain military positions. Although the civil servant group still had the upper hand at this time of the Ming Dynasty, smart people saw that after Zhu Youxiao established the Supreme Command and created a new military rank system, this system was no longer interfered with by the civil servant group.&1t;/p>

So many applicants were applied for by the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Military Academy in the second year of the Apocalypse, but the elimination rate of the exam was still very high.&1t;/p>

The Royal Academy of Sciences only recruits 1 ooo people, and there are too many people and there is not so much teaching force. After these 1 ooo people are admitted, they have to rely on their seniors to teach them and learn by themselves.&1t;/p>

On the other hand, the Central Army recruitment activities are also being carried out everywhere.&1t;/p>

The recruitment scenes in various places can definitely be described as crowded. You must know that the treatment of the Central Army at this time has envied countless young people.&1t;/p>

Every month, you can get a military salary that can support the whole family. After death and disability, you will have a pension. At the same time, the legendary food and treatment of these Central Army is also very good.&1t;/p>

But for young people, it is not these things that really attract them. It is an opportunity to make a name for themselves.&1t;/p>

Those scholars can soar through the imperial examinations, but for young people who do not have the conditions for studying or have no talent, they lack such opportunities. However, there are enough opportunities to enter the Central Army to make a name for themselves.&1t;/p>

As long as the soldiers of the Central Army have made contributions on the battlefield and are willing to learn culture in the army, they can be sent to the Royal Military Academy for further study and become officers after they come out.&1t;/p>

If you get military merits on the battlefield, you can also get rewards for land. If you work hard on the battlefield, you may become an officer and a landlord. Then you can return home in glory. Even if you can enter the Central Army and become an ordinary big-headed soldier, your family will be able to make a decision.&1t;/p>

However, the Central Army obviously has not many recruitment quotas in various provinces, and most of the quotas are left for the border troops, and the remaining quotas are even fewer to the provinces.&1t;/p>

The southern provinces are not bad, but the name of the Central Army is not very loud. However, in northern Zhili, Shandong and other provinces, the competition is extremely fierce. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
