"Your Majesty is able to know so much about the people's sentiments, and he has also taken the initiative to think of ways to benefit and secure the people. This shows that your Majesty is diligent and caring for the people!"
"I have issued an edict from your Majesty to add the purpose of the New Deal to benefiting the people on the basis of enriching the country and strengthening the army. I also thought of some ways to benefit the people based on the actual people's sentiments, so that the people at both the top and the bottom can increase benefits and make the country more prosperous. The way to prosperity!"
"Rather than just being frugal and not opening up more money."
"These methods are exactly the same as those proposed by His Majesty."
"In addition, I have drawn up detailed rules on how to better use the internal funds and national funds taken from the people to the people, and then repay the national funds and internal funds."
"Although Your Majesty loves the people like your own children, and is far more than your ministers who have read the books of sages, your Majesty's money and the money of the court cannot be spent in vain."
"The gentry and merchants are more cunning than the common people, and they are more difficult to deal with."
"Therefore, there needs to be institutional precautions, instead of giving money or technology directly, so as to prevent them from getting the money from His Majesty and the Imperial Court and then losing it, but not doing things sincerely, or doing things sincerely and becoming big, which will backfire on the Imperial Court and His Majesty. , coercing His Majesty and the imperial court not only to give him money, but also to give him power, and even to disrupt the government for him."
"Even if Your Majesty lets His Majesty's relatives or domestic servants do things with His Majesty's money, you must be careful not to let them waste money instead of doing real things, which will cause many conflicts in the Tian family in the future, and Your Majesty will also fall into it when the time comes. Killing him would be ruthless. , If we don’t kill him, the country will be in a dilemma.”
"Therefore, I have drawn up the relevant details and asked Your Majesty to read them."
Zhang Juzheng started talking at this time, and took out a thick memorial book from his sleeve, bowed and raised it with both hands.
Zhang Hong took it and handed it to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun did not expect that Zhang Juzheng had already thought of this and drafted detailed rules. He really took his previous request for reforms to benefit the people to heart.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think to himself, no wonder Zhang Juzheng's eyes lit up when he just said that. It turned out that he realized that he and he were thinking of the same place.
But in fact, Zhang Juzheng was not only surprised because Zhu Yijun had the same idea as him, but based on Zhu Yijun's words and deeds of wanting to spend money to benefit the people, he saw that his emperor's student really cared about the people. They are also willing to spend energy to understand the public sentiment, and even take the initiative to use Jin Yiwei to understand some social problems that have arisen after the implementation of the New Deal.
You must know that an emperor who is willing to passively listen to some opinions on issues is considered a wise emperor.
What's more, he is still an emperor who takes the initiative to discover problems.
This is the reason why Zhang Juzheng is really surprised.
He found that the emperor's student he trained was not willing to work diligently because he was very happy with his achievements, but he really loved the people, even more than he did, and treated the people as human beings than he did.
Because in fact, according to Zhang Juzheng's original philosophy, the best solution to the problem of refugees that increased after the implementation of the New Deal was to wait until they became rioters and then directly kill them.
After all, doing so does not harm the interests of the landlord class, and may even benefit the landlord class.
The reason is also very simple.
For example, as the number of shantytown residents in the Jiuling Mountain area increases, after they work hard to reclaim fields and set up small workshops such as papermaking and tea-making, they will be targeted by the local powerful and wealthy gentry with the intention of annexing them. .
….
In addition, these handicraft industries established by ordinary people have also seized the market of local powerful gentry.
After all, most Han people believe in frugality. If they had a choice, they would rather use cheap, second-rate products than expensive, high-end products.
Therefore, the local powerful gentry naturally hate these shantytown residents who come here for development, and also want to embezzle their industries and fields to increase their own interests.
In addition, there is an inherent xenophobia.
Therefore, the local powerful gentry supported the local officials to intensify the exploitation of these shanty townsfolk, and even directly forced them to rebel, and finally wiped them out, swallowing up the interests of these shanty townsfolk.
Historically, Zhang Juzheng chose this way.
After the refugee shacks in the Jiuling Mountain area were demolished, he asked Pan Jixun and Deng Zilong to send troops to encircle and suppress them. They physically eliminated these people who had no land and migrated to
There are more than 80,000 homeless people living in shanty towns in the Jiuling Mountain area.
In the end, he directly ordered the mountain to be closed, and the place was later called Guanshan.
Zhang Juzheng, Pan Jixun, and Deng Zilong are all capable ministers, but they are also from the landlord class, so it is normal to make such a choice.
After all, even if they support the New Deal and carry out reforms, they are only maintaining the rule of Ming Dynasty, not really for the people of the world.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng chose to use exploitation and direct extermination to solve the problem of homeless people in history.
For example, Zhang Juzheng also advocated direct extermination of the Han, Yao and other ethnic groups who had migrated to the mountainous areas of Guangdong and Guangxi to cultivate terraced fields and resisted because they refused to be exploited by the government.
Zhang Juzheng gave the instruction to Ling Zhenyun, who was in charge of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time, "to eliminate important matters, kill thieves on sight, and do not ask their back again."
Ling Zhenyun, under Zhang Juzheng's instructions, killed more than 40,000 people in the uprising within four months.
Although this can be regarded as a solution to the conflict between man and land, the solution is just cruel. If it does not solve the problem of ***, it might as well only solve the problem of the rebellious people.
Generally speaking, Zhang Juzheng's position has always been on the side of the big landowners.
His attacks on the civil servants who opposed him were very gentle compared to his attacks on the refugees.
It's just that in this life, Emperor Zhu Yijun, a great leader, came from the civilian class in later generations.
In addition, Zhu Yijun was born under the influence of more than ten years of education from later generations and the social environment in which the consciousness of nation, country, and civil rights had emerged. In other words, he was not the kind of emperor who appeared to be benevolent, righteous, and moral, but in fact only wanted to eat his own people. I really have some feelings for my fellow Han people, and I have the kind of psychology that comes from a more advanced civilized society and respects the rights of the weak to life and livelihood, and requires that the New Deal should benefit the people in addition to wealth and military strength.
Zhang Juzheng was loyal to the emperor, and his reforms had offended most of the powerful officials and gentry in the world. Only a few people such as the emperor supported him, so he had to compromise and give up the methods he would have chosen, and was willing to really follow the plan. The way of a saint is to be kind to the people and use the methods of suffering the local dignitaries, officials and gentry to solve the problem of the increase in homeless people and shanties.
At this time, Zhu Yijun had to admit that Zhang Juzheng was a qualified and excellent bureaucrat.
Once he chooses to obey his emperor's decision, he will implement it conscientiously on his behalf, and think up the corresponding system for himself in advance to ensure that his emperor's will is perfectly reflected, so he will be prepared in advance. Ok the fine print.
….
"I will take a closer look when I get back. Sir, I will briefly talk about it now."
Zhu Yijun then said with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng raised his hands and said yes, then said: "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that landless people are all gangsters. There is no need to worry about their life or death. If they cause trouble and cause trouble, they can only cut their flesh to repair the sores!"

"But now that we want to benefit the people and take precautions, we should first set up an official office to be responsible for planning things to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people."
"The government office will control the pros and cons of the world and make decisions on the reforms proposed by the local governors, and then propose to His Majesty the allocation of money to rejuvenate the country and enrich the people."
"Moreover, it is necessary to send high-ranking officials to supervise the construction and operation progress, and to supervise the allocation of funds. We cannot directly hand out the money. We hope that one or two powerful officials can make one or two things after receiving the money." When this happens, money may be wasted, and even if money is paid out, it must be paid out one by one, not all at once!"
"In addition, a guarantee system should be established so that those who ask for money from Your Majesty and the Imperial Court to increase their financial profits must first hand over a portion of their assets as a guarantee before they can receive the money allocated from Your Majesty and the Imperial Court, so as to avoid wasting the money and leaving it unfinished. If it can be done, the court will really have to fight hard. Not only will the money be spent, but nothing will be gained. There will even be a civil uprising because the people who work cannot get their wages. In this way, even if this person's house is confiscated and his family is exterminated, I am afraid it will not be able to solve the problem caused by wasting money. The problem."
"Leave a little deposit to force him to dare not say anything without being serious, and what else can he do?
To clean up the aftermath and prevent the unemployed homeless people from being able to get their wages and become rioters if it fails to succeed. "
"Mr., you should consider everything comprehensively."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile and nodded: "My money and the court's money cannot be spent in vain. Everything must be done in an orderly manner."
