Huang Xiao visited the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but being in it now was a different experience, leaving Huang Xiao in a trance and filled with emotion.
Before entering the palace, Huang Xiao spoke to Zhang Lizhen, Yueniang, Liu Cheng and others and asked them to go back first.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan, Huang Xiao, Wei Zhongxian, Sun Chengzong, and Yuan Keli were sitting opposite each other.
Zhu Youxiao recounted the situation of these days and said apologetically: "It's already very late now. I shouldn't have disturbed my brother's rest, but the matter of Tianjin Wei can't wait any longer. Master Sun and Master Yuan , and I both want to hear my dear brother’s opinion.”
After Huang Xiao learned about the identities of Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, he also admired them very much. He was not like others, who acted like this every time he saw celebrities in history. Even if it was Zhu Youxiao, who was regarded as the emperor, Huang Xiao could be calm. response!
However, he did not dare to neglect such loyal men as Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, and he had an inexplicable respect in his heart!
This is really a good era. Although Ming Dynasty is in danger, it is also an era where talents emerge in large numbers. He is very lucky to reach this magnificent time point!
"The two imperial masters are the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty! Huang Xiao is injured and cannot come to see you. It's disrespectful!"
Sun Chengzong laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Huang is ridiculous! After hearing about Mr. Huang's countless feats in the past few days, Master Yuan and I highly respect Mr. Huang! Today, Taizu's sanctification was revealed, and Mr. Huang returned in good health. Master Yuan and I I can’t help but be overjoyed! Mr. Huang’s noble character is as flawless as a jade in the rough, haha! You can’t be too polite!”
Zhu Youxiao also laughed and said: "My dear brother, these two masters are not flattering. To be praised by both of them at the same time, my dear brother is much better than me! When the two masters taught me in the past, they taught me a lot. Hit the wall!"
Everyone smiled and the atmosphere became much more lively.
Huang Xiaodao: "Okay, then I will tell you what I think. Just as Governor Sun said, the civil unrest is just a bunch of mobs. If you send out elite soldiers and strong generals, they will be able to quell it. What I am thinking about is what happens after it is quelled."
This matter has advantages and disadvantages for Ming Dynasty. The advantage is that after this period of fermentation, the local local tyrants, evil gentry and corrupt officials have been almost wiped out! The disadvantage is that the local area is in a state of disorder!
We must calm down the situation as soon as possible, restore local order, and rebuild Tianjin Wei in our own way! It can also be regarded as a trial pilot! "
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Isn't this what the wise brother said if you can't break it or establish it?"
Huang Xiao nodded and said: "Tianjin Guards defend the capital, and it is also the capital's outlet to the sea. Its geographical location is extremely important. I suggest a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, use force to quell the chaos. Only the culprits will be killed, and all those who threaten and follow will be ignored!"
In addition, the local officials and gentry will be severely investigated and put on trial on the spot! All assets and land will be confiscated, and farms will be built locally based on the model of Dahuang Village. All taxes and other taxes will be strictly collected according to the taxes of Dahuang Village!
In this way, we will definitely gain the support of the majority of people in an instant, and this turmoil will be invisible! And the hearts of the people of Tianjin are at your Majesty's disposal! Once the Tianjin Health trial is successful, we will gradually promote this model from north to south! Let all the people of Ming Dynasty live a good life! "
The rest of the people turned pale when they heard this. According to Huang Xiao's plan, the Tianjin Wei incident would definitely cause an uproar. However, they had seen the prosperous lives of the people in Dahuang Village during the day, and they immediately felt that this was a good idea!
As long as the starting point is for the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, even if you act a little staunchly, it doesn't matter!
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he laughed loudly, and said: "Brother Xian and I have the same ideas! I am determined to reform, but I have no reason, so Tianjin Wei is the best choice!
Now that our Dahuangzhuang escort has begun to take shape, and Master Sun and Master Yuan have brought enough soldiers and horses, and I have received the nod from my worthy brother, I feel more confident! "
Huang Xiao nodded secretly. Zhu Youxiao had discussed this idea of reform with himself many times. Now that Zhu Youxiao was able to seize this opportunity keenly, Huang Xiao had to feel a little emotional. Zhu Youxiao had matured a lot!
Yuan Keli said: "Your Majesty, I support this decision! I will do my best to support you! I deeply admire the Marquis for his foresight and consideration for the people!"
Huang Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yuan, I don't dare to call a junior Marquis like this, so just call me by my name."
Several people smiled.
Sun Chengzong said: "How about I personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at Huang Xiao.
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "I, the Dahuangzhuang Guards, have not seen blood yet. Let the guards and Master Sun go together this time."
Sun Chengzong said: "Although the escort army has not gone through the battle formation, I can also see that this is a powerful force! This matter will definitely be settled in one battle! I would like to ask Your Majesty and Mr. Huang to tell you how to proceed next!"
Huang Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "There are many clauses in this, so I have to record them one by one and discuss them together."
Zhang Yan took the pen and ink and said with a smile: "Let me write it for you, Huang Xiao, you say."
Huang Xiao smiled and said: "The first step, needless to say, is to defeat the rioters! Fight against the land hooligans who take advantage of the situation! Restore order!
Second, establish a new management mechanism!
Third, find all corrupt officials and gentry with bad records and bring them to trial on the spot! Let the common people come forward to testify, expose, and approve it! In troubled times, heavy codes are used. Once verified, they will be executed on the spot!
Fourth, confiscate their property and acres of land! Return to the treasury!
Fifth, clear the land! Choose an eloquent farmer from Dahuang Village to guide the construction of the farm! And they spread the word!
Sixth, build a port, terminal and supporting factories locally to expand the income of local people!
Of course, this matter has priorities. I will add more later. What do you think? "
Huang Xiao spoke with murderous intent, and everyone else was suddenly frightened.
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Would such a method be too violent? Or maybe some officials and gentry just left temporarily. What if they find that their fields have been confiscated when they come back? This may cause chaos."
Huang Xiao said coldly and loudly: "Reform is not about treating guests to dinner. All obstacles on the road must be kicked away!"
"If these officials and gentry have legal acres, we can naturally give them some land, but the fixed number is five acres per person, and the remainder will be redeemed by us. If there are any criminals who commit crimes, they will be punished with death!"
After this assassination, the kindness in Huang Xiao's heart became much smaller and his actions became more decisive!
Wei Zhongxian and the two imperial masters were sweating coldly after hearing these words, while Zhang Yan felt that Huang Xiao was even more heroic.
Zhu Youxiao also agreed very much and said: "What the wise brother said is true! Just do it like this!"
Huang Xiao and Sun Chengzong set a time for the expedition and agreed on some details, before the two imperial masters resigned together with Wei Zhongxian.
Huang Xiaodao: "Your Majesty, as Eunuch Wei said, the Tianjin Guard incident will inevitably arouse opposition from many people. Your Majesty must be mentally prepared when the time comes."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "You and I should still treat each other as brothers in private. As the wise brother expected, the foolish brother has a plan in mind, so it doesn't matter!"
Huang Xiao said: "That's good!"
