Uproar.
The entire civil and military forces in front of Fengtian Gate were in an uproar.
Regardless of whether these people knew what the tax office said beforehand, they must behave at this time.
Many things in the court are negotiable.
But only money is the most sensitive issue.
Zhu Gaochi said that the big family spent money, but only eight cents per acre of land were registered. This cannot be faked, and even the two parts of the land are not the only ones that have been hidden.
They are all people who have been eating rice for countless years. Who doesn't know the evil intentions of the people below.
It was just that someone reacted quickly.
Today's long court meeting has been divorced from the original debate from the beginning.
Whether it's the river accident or the land taken out by Zhu Gaochi.
Everything actually revolves around Hongwu's New Deal.
In order to attack the New Deal, the opposition took advantage of the river accident to extend their reach and try to destabilize the New Deal in the DPRK.
And supporters like Zhu Gaochi exposed some corruption and illegality to prove the necessity of the New Deal.
Up to this moment, the meeting was almost approaching noon.
In front of Fengtianmen, the officials did not feel tired. But after Zhu Gaochi told the situation that the tax office had grasped, everyone's spirits were lifted again.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai, kept flashing his eyes.
Originally, for Ren Hengtai, the New Deal was feasible but not inevitable. The emperor really wanted to implement the New Deal, and he was in charge of the cabinet, so naturally he would implement it slowly and steadily.
Even if there is some opposition from both the government and the opposition, something must be done after all.
As for the local area, with the emperor's orders, even if there is opposition and dissatisfaction, it will not be too intense.
What the chief assistant never expected was this.
Just the matter of clearing the father-in-law's land, which has been going on for several years, can still cause such a big problem now.
People without money are literally having their land measured.
This is understandable. The taxes levied by the court are based on the amount of acres.
But those wealthy families, or well-connected gentry families, could use their money to bribe officials and register eight cents per acre when measuring the land. Such a shrinkage made Ren Hengtai feel frightened.
Whether it is a new deal or maintaining the status quo, Ren Hengtai, the chief minister, only hopes that the government and the opposition can always be stable and peaceful without causing trouble.
This is probably related to his temperament.
only.
Not everyone has this temperament.
Wearing a distinguished red robe, Yuan Sutai, the young master of the Ming Dynasty and the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, who was second only to Ren Hengtai on the North Korea train, walked out with trembling eyes, a sad look on his eyebrows, and bowed his waist in slow steps.
Is he going to talk too?
When people saw Yuan Sutai, who had a dark complexion and worn-out hands and feet because he had been working as a farmer all year round, walking out with his waist bent, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
This old man could be said to be at the pinnacle of civil service, but he had never made any remarks in court.
Everyone knows that Yuan Sutai only thinks about the things in Shanglinyuan Prison.
A few years ago, Shanglinyuan Supervisor was just a dispensable yamen in the imperial court.
But now, no one can ignore the existence of Shanglinyuan Supervisor.
In other words, no one can ignore the existence of Yuan Sutai.
All the civil and military officials at the Fengtianmen court meeting were watching Yuan Sutai, who was walking slowly. No one urged the old man, and no one dared to criticize him just because of his marriage to Nongsang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also sat upright under the palace gate.
Yuan Sutai walked very slowly, so slowly that he even frowned.
Wearing the sandy official boots of the Shanglin Garden Prison, he stepped on the stone slabs in the palace and made a rustling sound.
Delicate, yet very peaceful.
Yuan Sutai finally reached the middle.
He held the ivory wat board, raised his arms, and bowed down. With trembling movements, he rigorously completed the courtesy of the Ming Dynasty ministers to the emperor.
"My lord, Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglinyuan, please give me the correct report."
After saying this, Yuan Sutai held the wat board in one hand and his robe in the other, and slowly knelt on the ground.
Yuan Sutai's voice seemed like a green pine on Zhongshan Mountain outside Yingtian City, or like the continuous golden crops growing in the wilderness.
The voice reached Fengtianmen.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I agree."
"Farming is the root of the problem, food is the source of the people, God gives birth to things, and people feed their strength."
Yuan Sutai opened his mouth and after finishing his sentence, there was silence in front of Fengtian Gate.
Whether it is Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, Zhu Gaochi, or people like Yu Xin, Wang Jun, and Ji Kai.
Everyone was listening quietly.
Master Yuan made a big and big proposition today and started a big and big memorial.
“Your Majesty, the hardships of the people are as small as a foot of ground.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the beginning, the land was divided into centimeters, and the clans shared food.
By the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, everything in the world was the land of the king, and on the shores of the land, there were no ministers of the king. The scholar-bureaucrats and ministers were entitled to enjoy it. There was a well in every square mile, with a well of 900 acres, of which it was public land. Each of the eight families privately owns a hundred acres, and they cultivate public land together. After the public affairs are completed, they dare to deal with private affairs.
Shang Yang of the former Qin Dynasty abandoned mine fields and opened Qianmo, and gathered the remaining warriors of the sixth generation of Lao Qin in Guanzhong to become one of the first emperors in the ages.
As for later, the Han Dynasty had Wang Mang and Wang Tian. In the Northern Wei, Sui, and Tang dynasties, there was land equalization.
Although the governance was good at the founding of the country, in the successive dynasties, the rich had their fields separated from each other and the poor had no place to stand.
During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Wednesday dynasty implemented the system of tribute and payment, while in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong implemented the system of commemorating the land and declining the conquest system. In the Han Dynasty, households were organized into households and the people were divided into land rent, calculation tax, oral tax, corvee service, and military service. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were rent transfers in the north and south, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, envoys rented and transferred taxes, and in the Song Dynasty, they raised taxes and paid taxes on square fields.
Everlasting land in the Central Plains, thousands of years and dynasties, why did the people mourn at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and built the Ming Dynasty to reshape it.
I am an old man, just like an old farmer walking in the mud. I am honored by His Majesty's favor and honored as a young master.
The sincerity expressed by this veteran should not be called regretful words.
The Hengdi of the Central Plains is as powerful as Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang and Song Dynasty. The country has been in ruins for hundreds of years. Can the people who founded the country survive? The place where the country was founded, under whom was it named when it fell?
Rice is planted in spring, harvested in summer, and plowed again in autumn. Wheat is sown in winter, harvested in spring, and taxed in summer and autumn. The people move at all times and do not rest all year round. One or two thin fields are uncovered and watered, and they stand up and fall down quickly.
Your Majesty has personally experienced Qianmo, starting from farming mulberry trees, and experienced the troubled times of the Yuan Dynasty. He knows that in troubled times, people changed their sons and suffered disasters.
The best is like water, and the people are like water.
If there is insufficient grain cover, there will be insufficient food; if there is insufficient food, the people will not be able to live up to their destiny. Things are so precious. If you don't take care of them at the right time, how can you get farmers? You should know how powerful they are. "
Yuan Sutai's figure swayed in the wind under the open Fengtian Gate.
He has finished the recital, but the sound of this long recital still echoes in front of Fengtian Gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were solemn, and he quietly recalled what Yuan Sutai had just said.
Yuan Sutai's remarks in front of the public today did not mention any people and events in the government and the public. There is only one core in the whole article, which is the hardship of the people and the difficulties of farming.
But the emperor understood.
The man who is now the first civil servant in the court is explaining to himself that the New Deal must continue.
Don't do it.
Ming Dynasty cannot even implement the New Deal now, and it will be even less likely to be accomplished in the future. If it fails, the Ming Dynasty will one day become like the powerful Tang Dynasty, and become just a few words in the hands of historians.
"His Majesty!"
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs who had already left work earlier, immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.
Immediately, Xia Yuanji lifted up his robe with both hands, shook it forward, and knelt heavily on the ground.
"I ask your Majesty to investigate strictly! The country cannot condone such illegal things, and the country cannot condone such unfair things!
Taxation is the source of the country, and the people are loyal and pay taxes on time. However, the wealthy Jin gentry secretly hides their wealth, harming the interests of the country and enriching the family's prosperity privately. The court will never allow this!
Today he hides one point of profit, and tomorrow he hides two points of profit. If things go on like this, Ming Dynasty will be like that thousand-mile embankment and will eventually be destroyed by the hands of these termites! "
Let me ask you where the New Deal has brought about the biggest changes.
From top to bottom, it can be said that the household department has undergone the biggest change.
The Ministry of Household Affairs' large warehouse outside Yingtian City is becoming more full every day, and more and more documents are submitted to the Ministry of Works for additional construction.
Hangzhou warehouse and Huaian warehouse supply all the needs from north to south.
The revenue from the Jiaozhi Road can be transported directly to Peiping via sea-going ships. In just a few more years of operation, the entire Nine Borders will be completely free of food and supplies.
The gold and silver from the four roads of Yingzhou were transported to the dock outside the city on the Ming Dynasty's warships like a tide. The heavy gold and silver weighed down the carriages and made them creak. Even the strongest war horses were panting.
Blocking the New Deal means blocking the way of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the promotion of everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Xia Yuanji glanced at Yu Xin, the Minister of Household Affairs.
This is a fool.
In other words, this is a smart person who is too refined.
Following Xia Yuanji's request.
In front of Fengtian Gate, voices of support rang out again.
"I am a Hanlin bachelor, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Jin, second the proposal!"
"My lord, Zhai Shan, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, seconded the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the General Affairs Envoy and the General Administration Envoy are here to levy the troops and second the proposal."
"My lord, Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion, seconded the proposal."
"..."
Just like the previous motion to impeach and investigate river affairs, countless civil servants stood up at this moment.
However, when the sounds from the south of Neiwulong Bridge stopped.
In front of Fengtian Gate.
Xu Yungong, the Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of the Dudu Mansion, and the cabinet minister, were also shocked.
"My lord, Xu Yungong, second my opinion."
As Xu Yungong spoke, there was a commotion in the meeting.
As the most well-deserved military leader in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Yungong was in charge of the Governor's Palace and was appointed to the Wenyuan Pavilion.
Under everyone's gaze, a rare scene happened in the Ming Dynasty Hall.
As Xu Yungong spoke, from him on down, Tang Li from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, Chang Sen, Commander-in-Chief of the Military Guard, as well as all the meritorious generals and military attachés in Beijing, all knelt on the ground.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
The voices of the generals resounded throughout the imperial city, causing the glazed tiles on the palaces in the imperial city to tremble.
Those officials from the DPRK and China who originally supported the impeachment and investigation of the river accident only felt dizzy for a while.
For the first time, the generals of the Ming Dynasty expressed a unanimous attitude towards a certain matter in such a neat and unified manner.
And with Xu Yungong taking the lead, all the generals at the court knelt down to second the proposal.
The civil servants, who were originally neutral and did not want to participate in the impeachment of river affairs or petition to investigate the local abbot, could no longer stand.
At this time, whoever is standing is a fool.
There is no room for neutrals.
A breeze blew by.
Everyone in front of Fengtian Gate was kneeling on the ground.
Xu Yungong looked sideways at Ru Yuxin, Wang Jun and others, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.
More than people?
The Ming Dynasty had millions of troops!
Comparing yourself with others?
The most important thing in the army is to follow military orders like a mountain!
Zhu Gaochi raised his head in the crowd and cast his eyes on the old man from Fengtian Sect.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face, but he couldn't tell what it meant.
I saw him patting the armrest gently after a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled twice: "It seems that everyone in the Ming Dynasty's court is sincere and loyal."
Just when people thought the emperor was about to issue a decree.
Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hands on the armrests and pushed himself up.
Zhu Biao stood up immediately and stepped forward, reaching out his hand to try to support the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and glanced at the boss blankly.
Zhu Biao immediately put away his hand and followed the old man helplessly, who had already walked down the steps and walked forward.
The kneeling officials moved their legs and feet silently as the emperor moved.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked steadily and walked all the way to Yuan Sutai.
He stood in front of Yuan Sutai and chuckled twice: "Young master's body, young master's merits, such etiquette must not be done again in the future, this is my oral instruction!"
Yuan Sutai was stunned and raised his head while holding the wat board.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already leaned over and stretched out his hands to support Yuan Sutai's arms. He only exerted a slight force, and a look flashed across Yuan Sutai's face. Without hesitation, he quickly used his legs to stand up.
"I feel ashamed."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook Yuan Sutai's arm, held his head high and looked calmly at the ministers kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"I really hope that everyone in the dynasty will be Master Yuan."
Yuan Sutai's eyes were already red with emotion.
Since Shanglinyuanjian became a high-profile place in the imperial court, countless people hoped to be transferred to Shanglinyuanjian as an official. His Majesty and the court also repeatedly hoped that they could be transferred to other positions.
Even Xie Xueshi had several discussions with him, saying that there should be more people like him in the cabinet who do practical things.
However, they were all declined by Yuan Sutai.
The emperor's words were undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for him.
At the same time, the emperor's words are undoubtedly the clearest affirmation of the New Deal.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways, past Yuan Sutai, and looked at his fat grandson.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Ji Kai and said: "The impeachment of the Ministry of Industry is all due to Ji Kai. The imperial court has a decree for a long time, and Yan Ke Yushi cannot hear about the impeachment without reason. There must be solid evidence. It is the new policy of the imperial court, and the Central Plains I'm sorry, this person impeached several important officials in the court with his teeth and words. He is a disobedient person and I hope His Majesty will judge him."
Shoot the first bird.
Since Ji Kai was pushed out by those people today and wanted to provoke the New Deal, he must be completely beaten to death.
This is to ensure that the New Deal can always be strongly implemented by the DPRK, and it is also to deter those who are still dissatisfied.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Ji Kai who was kneeling on the ground.
His face darkened.
