From the Ming Dynasty to today, the problem is no longer small. One is the reduction of the tax base, which is land annexation; the other is the destruction of salt in Kaizhong, which caused a shortage of food at the border. In addition, the vassal princes, eunuchs, and nobles of the Hongzhi Dynasty made large-scale begging...
In fact, the state treasury has been unable to make ends meet. Later, there was no choice but to issue some discounted silver when the palace's original color rice was in short supply.
It's getting more and more unsightly.
Now that this situation has happened to Zhu Houzhao, he must be trying to stop it.
Use modern words to express his principles for handling this matter, saying that old people have old methods and newcomers have new methods.
In the past, many powerful people occupied land, so Zhu Houzhao will not pursue them for the time being. Because if you want to completely clear the water, to be honest, it is easy to cause a second crisis to come out.
But these newcomers want to obtain additional land through reasonable, legal and emperor-permitted channels. I'm sorry, but that won't work.
If you have the ability, rebel. Let's give it a try.
If you insist on occupying land through secret means, you can have the courage, you just need to pray every day not to be discovered.
On the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao thought more and more and clenched his fists tighter.
This time we have to capture some people and establish some power, otherwise everything will be the same as before. Then where is his influence as a time traveler?
He didn't want to wait until he ascended the throne. The treasury was still empty and there wasn't even a grain of grain in the warehouse. Wouldn't these years have been wasted?
You can't expect him to invent a steam engine. He doesn't know how to build that thing. Improving productivity is not that simple, but he hasn't figured out the refined salt yet.
And even if it improves, people's lives were still very difficult during the first and second industrial revolutions. In the final analysis, the country must be governed well.
As long as man-made disasters persist, even if you invent airplanes and cannons, it will not work.
After returning, Zhu Houzhao immediately wrote a letter to Yang Tinghe.
He called Zhang Yong over to explain,
"Send it to Qingzhou day and night and ask Yang Tinghe to handle it accordingly without delay!"
"yes!"
Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe should also understand that when he was still in Beijing, he had said that if the opportunity was right... he might be able to do a few more Qi Kuan.
It's just pity that King Qi and King Yong were unlucky enough to bump into him.
King Yong Zhu Yousong is only eighteen years old this year. He was granted the title of King Yong early, but he was granted the title of vassal of Hengzhou, which was just decided not long ago. The emperor specially ordered him to stay in Beijing for the New Year, and they met during the New Year.
Now people want to take the land away even before they leave.
Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao wanted to go to Wenhua Hall to study as usual.
Reading Chang Yi was much easier than on the first day, and Zhu Houzhao felt much more comfortable. Now he just read the Confucian classics and explained the meaning. He didn't understand these things at first, but if someone explained them, it wouldn't be bad to be literate.
Because after the prince learned, the ministers could not confront each other alone, so no one came to him to talk about the affairs of King Qi and King Yong.
On the cabinet side, the draft was still rejected after re-voting: it was drafted again.
It was planned until one person came forward.
Anyway, the emperor has a path in mind, so he is not in a hurry now.
Now it's up to the ministers...
……….
It dragged on like this for another three days.
Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin: "Is there still no movement at all in the outer court?"
"Back to Your Highness, not yet."
"Then go and stir up some excitement." The prince looked at the book and said calmly without raising his head: "Find someone to give them an idea. Isn't Cheng Minzheng serving as a student of King Yong? Since he can't follow the emperor's path, can he Can’t you take the path of King Yong?”
"Your Highness means..."
"Call Cheng Minzheng to come and find a way to persuade King Yong to withdraw the begging note."
All roads lead to Rome, your thinking must be quick and your actions must be quick. Isn't now the time for "righteousness and death"?
I don’t know what these ministers are dragging their feet on. Are they not afraid that the emperor will really agree to it? Are they not worried about the lost group of ministers?
The people of the land?
Don't let Yang Ting and the fourth-rank official's tricks come to the end, and these great scholars in the court are still trying to convince themselves by making decisions before taking action.
In fact, the prince came up with this idea at random, but Liu Jin felt hurt after hearing it.
In this way, Cheng Minzheng will be forced to become an ant on a hot pot. In the end, it is easy for both parties to become indifferent.
Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it was better not to offend the crown prince.
This idea is not that difficult, you just need to find someone to spread the idea. Now King Yong is still in the capital. Cheng Minzheng, as a person who once attended King Yong, is his teacher. What happened to the last sentence?
The emperor could persuade him, but King Yong couldn't?
As for King Qi, he became a vassal in the eighth year of Hongzhi, which was too far away. But solving one is one.
So when there are more and more voices like this outside,
Cheng Minzheng also felt that something was wrong. He was probably a person with very accurate intuition. When he found Wu Kuan, he directly expressed his suspicions, "In the past, how could there be such... such a damaging strategy in the imperial court? And I have never cooperated with him in Beijing. People make enemies."
He was actually implying that the crown prince should be behind this matter.
But Wu Kuan didn't just listen to him. He was someone who had fought against the prince many times.
"If it's Keqin who you guessed, then why did His Highness do this? Keqin, don't be fooled."
The prince never does anything without reason.
Not to mention that it was just to retaliate against him, Cheng Minzheng. This was a common reason, but it was definitely not a reason that only a genius like Dong Gong would have.
Because I'm not on the stage.
Wu Kuan analyzed everything and asked, "Donggong and Your Majesty are one and the same. If Your Majesty doesn't agree, will Donggong instigate people to rebel against Your Majesty? Isn't it easier to just say it directly?"
The two old men looked at each other and confirmed each other's eyes.
Cheng Minzheng: "So it shouldn't be the East Palace."
"Actually, it doesn't matter who it is." Wu Kuandu had already begun to sweat for Cheng Minzheng. "Now that such a voice is coming out, if you don't convince King Yong, you will definitely criticize him with words and letters. If you go and can't convince King Yong, then It’s also because you are not a good teacher and cannot teach good students. If you go and convince King Yong... His Majesty may still be unhappy."
Because the emperor now obviously wants to agree to King Yong's request.
Forget it if you civil servants resist and disobey the decree, just give me a blow, right?
So even Liu Jin thought this was a purely damaging move.
When Cheng Minzheng heard this, he was naturally confused.
"From this point of view, I can only advise His Majesty."
Highly recommend, if you agree, everyone will be happy. If he doesn't agree, Cheng Minzheng will at least be a direct minister.
In this case, Cheng Minzheng made up his mind and suddenly said seriously: "Originally, it is the duty of ministers to give advice and advice. Now that Liu Ge wants to find a way for the people of the world to live, I have to follow him. It is my duty to follow him!" .
