After Zhang Siwei said this, Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything else.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Siwei had no choice but to return to his check-in room angrily.
Nowadays, Zhang Juzheng is very busy with promoting the clearing of land and land throughout the country and opening up the sea to train more naval officers. Naturally, he has no time to pay attention to Zhang Siwei's proposal to prevent the ceremonial supervisor from becoming too big.
With the end of the pilot program to clear the borders between the North and the South, it is indeed necessary to implement it across the country as soon as possible.
After all, the Ming Empire could not just relieve the people's difficulties in the north and the south, but not care about the plight of the other dozen chief secretaries and governors.
Yes, clearing the land has not only made the country rich, it has also greatly improved the living difficulties of ordinary people.
Because as mentioned above, the national policy of clearing land and acres advocated by Zhang Juzheng was originally designed with the plight of the common people in mind.
For example, after the clearing of land, the common people who cannot afford the taxes and have accumulated tax arrears will be exempted from the clearing of the land, and those who have paid the taxes truthfully will not be cleared. Therefore, in theory, clearing the land will not disturb the people and will not increase the burden on the people. It will also help ordinary people relieve their difficulties.
Of course, there must be a gap between theory and practice.
In this pilot project, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji, Hai Rui and others also summarized the problems that occurred in Qingzhang and formulated corresponding countermeasures to avoid them in the subsequent implementation of Qingzhang nationwide.
As for the next Qingzhang, there is no need to worry about touching the interests of the noble relatives, but it will involve issues of the clan.
After all, in the subsequent Qing Dynasty, the largest landowners in Henan, Huguang, and Shandong, which had a large amount of cultivated land, were not the relatives of nobles and officials, but the vassals.
In the Ming Dynasty, two types of people rebelled because their own interests were harmed.
One category is common people.
One category is sects and vassals.
Although the Ming Dynasty has now strictly restricted the ability of Zongfan to rebel, the possibility of Zongfan rebellion is still there, at least more likely than that of officials and gentry.
You know, not long ago there were two vassal rebellions in the Zhengde Dynasty.
Therefore, the rebellion of the vassal kings is something that today's rulers of the Ming Dynasty have to consider.
However, Zhu Yijun knew that the Qingzhang of the Wanli Dynasty in history did not force any vassal king to rebel, and the vassal kings of the Wanli Dynasty were obviously not that strong.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun is not worried about anything.
However, Zhu Yijun is not worried, which does not mean that Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji and other leaders are not worried. They did not dare to take it lightly, and therefore had to make some personnel adjustments first.
Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was transferred to the governor of Huguang Military Affairs.
Song Yizheng, the governor of Yingtian, was transferred to governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Yan Qing, the governor of Baoding and other prefectures, was transferred to Henan as governor.
Wang Zongmu, the governor of Xuanda, visited Shandong.
In addition, officials who formerly served as inspectors, prefects, and county magistrates in the north and south were also promoted to serve as guardians, inspectors, or inspectors in these places to ensure that the implementation of Qingzhang throughout the country could be successful.
When preparing to implement the clearing of land and acres across the country, the edict to further open up the sea has also been issued.
In October of this year, that is, in October of the fourth year of Wanli, the south was directly facing Tianfu.
Tian Le, the censor and academic officer, is meeting the newly admitted students in the college examination.
Affected by the New Deal implemented by Zhu Yijun, many of the Nanzhi students admitted this time were civilians wearing commoners or patched clothes under their t-shirts.
As a reformist official, due to the influence of Zhu Yijun's generous rewards to officials who implemented the Qingzhang's New Deal, Tian Le's salary increased greatly and he has been awarded a first-level official rank. Tian Le, who is about to be promoted, is in a good mood now. After seeing these newly admitted students , and said with a smile that was as refreshing as spring breeze:
"Relying on the emperor's great grace, he issued an edict to increase the number of Jinshi by fifty for each grand competition, specifically for the children of common people, and ordered the county examination, government examination, hospital examination, and rural examination to be increased according to this number. Nan Zhite has applied for it. With the approval of the Holy One, we will increase the number of new born and reborn children of common people."
Having said this, Tian Le stood up and cupped his hands toward the north and said: "So you who are from poor families should know that the Emperor is kind and kind, and you should thank the Emperor first!"
The newly admitted students quickly bowed their hands and said yes, and then began to kneel down and look north together.
Liu Quexian, who was newly elected as a Linsheng, was also here at this time, and along with other students, he looked north and knelt down devoutly.
He really didn't expect that not only was he saved from being exploited by subordinate officials because of the New Deal, but now he was still being cared for by the New Deal and received favor from the emperor even when he was taking the imperial examination.
This makes Liu Quexian really feel that after meeting a good emperor, the fate of ordinary people like him has really changed.
Moreover, this change is not a change that he can produce through his own efforts.
"The edict says: Add municipal shipping divisions to Shanghai, Dinghai, and Xiangshan, and allow private individuals to trade in the East and West..."
Liu Quexian also discovered that these were not the only changes that had taken place in the new dynasty. After he met Tian Le and left after the banquet, he saw a new edict at the city gate, and the content of the edict was suddenly about opening up the sea.
Liu Quexian immediately showed a happy smile, turned around, knelt down facing north, and kowtowed three times seriously.
Then, Liu Quexian hurried home and ignored the relatives and neighbors gathered at his home. Instead, he called Laidi into his back room.
After Laidi followed him in, she asked, "What happened? You are already the father-in-law, and you are still so impatient."
At this time, Liu Quexian took out the three deeds of sale from the box, then tore off the one from Laidi first, and said with a smile: "The matter of opening the sea is settled! The edict has been issued!"
"Have all the edicts been issued?"
"Why is this the result?"
"This is really unexpected. Aren't all the gentlemen in favor of opening the sea?"
Laidi was also shocked after hearing this, and then asked curiously.
"Who knows, maybe Zhang Jiangling's power is not as simple as people think! That's why I don't care what the gentlemen think!"
"Just like the previous edicts were issued not to allow members of the gentry to discuss government affairs and then remove them from official positions and titles, this gentleman is so fair and tough that no one in the world would have thought of it."
"His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mothers of the two palaces should trust him very much."
Liu Quexian smiled and added: "But no matter what, the current imperial court is indeed in a prosperous age, and many good things that were difficult to happen have happened. Not only has the sea been opened, but a number of additional quotas for husbands and masters have been added to those who have careers. A kid from a poor family! I was able to win because of this kindness."
"I have to say that the current imperial court is really good. It is obviously not the powerful and traitorous people mentioned by the gentlemen. The master is unknown and the loyal and good are killed."
Laidi nodded: "Yes, this is really a good time that I never dared to think about. I said that in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people selling their sons and daughters. Now that I think about it, it is because we have met a good time."
Liu Quexian continued: "Now that the matter of opening the sea has been decided, we don't need to worry about not making money in the future. There is no need to keep my sister's selling contract, and the other two girls have also been changed to employment, so that They weave more cloth.”
"Um!"
