At this moment, what if they launch a resistance?
So what if they collude with foreign enemies to resist?
foreign enemy?
What other foreign enemies are there?
Xixia is abolished, the grasslands have surrendered, Western Liao is far away in the horizon, let alone Dali, and Goryeo has long called me daddy.
What other foreign enemies can they collude with?
Can the Southern Song Dynasty become their reliable dependence?
The Southern Song Dynasty had too much to take care of themselves, why would they help them?
Su Yonglin smiled happily.
He found that his previous compromise was not completely meaningless. It at least bought him some time and helped him win an international environment that was conducive to launching a thorough liquidation operation. He defeated all the forces that could threaten him.
The Southern Song Dynasty was beaten, Xixia was basically subjugated, the Liaodong Jurchens were wiped out, and the two thorn-headed tribes of the grasslands, Klie and Qiyan, were wiped out.
The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty were magnificent. Looking around, he had defeated all the invincible opponents in the world. In such a state, who else would dare to take the initiative to invade the Ming Dynasty?
With such an international environment, Su Yonglin immediately felt that he had considerable confidence to plan and launch this revolutionary action that would determine the future.
Destroy all the superior people, seize their land, nationalize it, then distribute it to more farmers for farming, and establish grassroots organizations to organize them and gather them into powerful productive forces.
Then we must establish a sizable state-owned economy, use the state-owned economic system to control the lifeline of the country's economy, stabilize the Ming Dynasty's economy, and use this to promote the development of science and technology.
However, unlike previous dynasties that used the state-owned economy such as salt and iron monopoly and liquor monopoly to plunder private wealth, Su Yonglin did not intend to plunder anything based on the indispensability of these commodities.
The purpose of state-owned economic construction should be to ensure that the safety of the country's economic lifeline is not manipulated and manipulated by outsiders and private individuals, thereby threatening national security.
The state-owned economy of the Ming Dynasty did not oppress and exploit the people, but insisted on benefiting the people at a fair price, and played a role in regulating the market and stabilizing prices.
In Su Yonglin's plan, the Ming Dynasty will still insist on the salt and iron monopoly and lift the alcohol monopoly, but later, Su Yonglin will establish absolute control over food security.
Throughout the dynasties, there have been incidents of grain merchants hoarding unexpected war wealth, national disaster wealth, and dead people's wealth. Su Yonglin hated this kind of situation, and he would never let go of grain, a lifeline industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood.
The currently established grain purchasing system and national warehousing system serve this purpose.
By attacking the upper class, recovering the means of production and population they control, establishing a sound state-owned economic system, and through overall planning, reducing the production, transportation and storage costs of daily necessities and food, so that they can be sold to the people at lower prices, making The state-owned economy has become a foundation for them, rather than an existence of exploitation.
This was Su Yonglin’s revolutionary goal in the first stage.
After accomplishing this goal, let’s talk about other things.
After setting this goal, Su Yonglin once again convened the central meeting of the Renaissance in Zhongdu. He announced his decision at the meeting, allowing everyone to discuss freely and express their own opinions.
Regarding Su Yonglin's decision, most of the revival members, represented by Kong Maojie, the censor of the right capital, and Shen Ge, the minister of the Ministry of Law, expressed their support and believed that it was completely acceptable.
Some Fuxing members, represented by Yin Jiangyu, director of the Organization Department of the Fuxing Society and Daxing Prefecture, said that this action is subject to discussion, because they believe that the time is not yet ripe, and taking action now may destabilize the world.
Kong Maojie was very dissatisfied with this.
"Director Jiang, I understand your concerns. Many of us had such concerns at the beginning. But at this time, at that time, at that time, we were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and enemies everywhere were eyeing the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was eager to There was a need for stability, an urgent need to stabilize everything we had established at that time.
So I think the compromise at that time was necessary and not unreasonable, but it is different now. Foreign enemies have either been eliminated or weakened to the point where they cannot threaten the Ming Dynasty. So I think the situation has fundamentally changed now. Renaissance The original goal of the meeting can already be put on the agenda. "
Jiang Yu didn't know why, but he just felt inexplicably uncomfortable and a little nervous. This mentality prompted him to continue to oppose Kong Maojie's opinions.
"I'm not against liquidating the superiors. I think it is necessary to liquidate them. This is the goal of the Renaissance. I know that, but Director Kong, I think that under the current situation, what Ming Dynasty still needs is stability. Unity, not turmoil, endless turmoil will only undermine what Ming Dynasty is doing."
"for example?"
Kong Maojie spread his hands: "What will be damaged by our actions? I don't know. Is Ming still facing the dilemma of facing enemies on all sides?"
Jiang Yu nodded matter-of-factly, and said with a "You're too young" expression on his face: "In many projects currently underway, many of the officials working on them are old officials, and they are conscientious of their duties and have no faults.
Wouldn't it be too unreasonable to eradicate them all just because of their status as old officials? Moreover, they have a lot of knowledge that is useful for the Ming Dynasty to govern the place. Isn't it a pity to just wipe them out like this?
Talents are rare, and cultivating a talent is even rarer. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, talent has been the most important, so I think this matter needs to be discussed, and at least a specific charter should be put forward.
Many of them are talented, have a lot of knowledge, are knowledgeable about the past and present, and are familiar with many allusions. They can help me in many ways. Thanks to them, I have also read a lot of books and understand a lot of truths, so I feel that they They should not be swept away in one fell swoop. "
Jiang Yu looked at Su Yonglin.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Su Yonglin didn't look at him or speak. He just sighed and shook his head.
"Does anyone else have anything to say?"
As soon as Su Yonglin finished speaking, Shen Ge stood up.
"Director Jiang, I think there is something wrong with what you said."
"Where?"
Jiang Yu responded tit for tat and did not back down. He said: "I don't think I have said anything wrong. Everything I say and do is for the sake of Ming Dynasty."
"You said that those old officials have a lot of talents and a lot of knowledge, so they must be used instead of simply dismissed. Otherwise, it would be a pity, right?"
"right."
"Why do you feel pity for them? Instead of the uneducated common people? Have you ever thought about why they can master knowledge and become talents, but not the common people master knowledge? You pity them, but I feel pity for you. "
Shen Ge glared at Jiang Yu: "Don't you find there is a problem with your position? Why do you speak from their position? You were not like this before. What happened? What have you experienced?"
Jiang Yu was stunned.
After a while, he came to his senses. He was shocked and speechless, not knowing what to say.
He looked at Su Yonglin, and when he saw Su Yonglin's calm face, he lowered his head deeply, not daring to raise his head to look at the strange eyes of the comrades around him. He only felt that there were ten thousand ants crawling around him, biting, and making him painfully.
After a long time, Su Yonglin spoke and talked about his thoughts.
"What Shen Ge said makes sense. I feel sorry for an old official who has mastered knowledge, but I don't feel angry for the people who have been deprived of the right to education. It's a pity that an old talent ignores thousands of people who can become talents. People, this may be the difference between the upper class and the revival members."
Jiang Yu immediately raised his head, his face full of panic.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"You don't need to explain. I didn't say that you have become a superior person, that you have not broken any laws or disciplines, and that you are not a slave to the common people. Otherwise, Mao Jie would have captured you long ago. How can he still keep you till now?"
Su Yonglin shook his head and said: "I have to admit that you have done a good job at your job. From the messy place at the beginning to the clean place now, there has been such a big change, and you are indispensable.
But there are some problems with your idea. I haven't said how to deal with the group of people who are now working for the imperial court, but you said that this is inappropriate. Jiang Yu, you have subconsciously stood with them. Have you noticed? ? "
