The emperor did not ask people to exchange their family property for Meiji's stock on an occasion like the early dynasty.
First of all, there is no precedent for this approach, so it is hard to say what dry stocks are and how they are. So it seems like a money grab.
It's nothing more than finding a reason to deceive you when you're trying to steal money.
Of course, the most important thing is that for big and novel things, it is best to start doing them by 'talking about it', then seeing the effect, and then 'writing it on paper' when it is almost done.
To put it simply, if Zhu Houzhao wanted to issue this imperial edict, would he write it as voluntary or mandatory?
If it is written voluntarily, there will be not many responders. As the emperor, he will lose the space and room for change. If it is written as compulsory... in fact, five million taels of silver cannot buy the entire land of Beizhili.
This is also a kind of political wisdom. Some things should be done first before talking about it, and talk before writing. If I did something wrong, I can say it again, admit my mistake, or say the opposite, or say the opposite. Anyway, the Chinese are very good at this.
If it's wrong, I can correct it when I write it again.
Think about it, what if it was completely the other way around, if you finish writing and speaking, then you finish speaking and then do it, but you can’t do it anymore, what should you do? Change the order overnight?
"Listen to Mr. Jizhi, is your Majesty trying to drive away the tiger?"
"Yes, there is a saying in the art of war that surrounds three and lacks one. That's exactly what it is."
No matter what happens, we must give people a way to live. This will prevent the enemy from being overwhelmed and the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Although this time it is not a war, it can be regarded as a kind of encirclement.
"Can't we drive the tiger away?"
"Then we can only swallow the tiger."
Li and Liu had a meal, which would not have been done by the late emperor, but now this person really cannot drive the tiger away, so he must be arrested.
Therefore, Wang Jizhi's optimism was not blind. He continued: "Those noble ministers who had previously said that they should think twice, after His Majesty drove the tiger away, came to ask for advice on how to exchange dry shares in this field. What is the method for dividing profits by time? I have never done it before. I have to explain every detail clearly, and it is not that easy at the moment."
So he entered the cabinet.
"The cabinet supports the order of the emperor. Mr. Xi Ya and Brother Yu Qiao are both highly respected veterans. At this juncture, it is appropriate for the cabinet to explain to the ministers. And this is also prepared in advance, otherwise more and more people will ask, and we will not It’s embarrassing if I can’t answer.”
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are both very smart people.
The emperor not only sent out Jinyi Guards, but also sent out Dongchang. The factory guards in the North Zhili area were causing great harm, making many people think that the eunuch rebellion was about to reappear.
The purpose of such a massive tiger-driving strategy is to lure these people into the trap.
Xie Qian said thoughtfully, "Then we need to invite Boss Mei here."
"Hey, Yu Qiao, don't worry, I've already sent someone to invite you."
Okay, now Li and Liu understand that they have almost done it.
"Fortunately, Youji came as ordered, that's good. We can discuss things among ourselves."
Wang Hao was humble and said, "Mr. Xi Ya (Li Dongyang) is the elder statesman and is expected by everyone."
"We have known each other for a long time. Jizhi's character, talents and knowledge are the best at the moment. His Majesty chose you to join the cabinet, and everyone in the court gave high-fives."
Because no matter what, the emperor still uses his ministers.
"Okay, don't be so polite." Xie Qianyan said: "This is an urgent matter, why not discuss it first?"
"good!"
There is a limit to the speed of information transmission. Big figures in the capital can feel the palace's meaning immediately.
It's different in Wanping County.
Although some people are trying to explain, the people these days don't trust the government, and now that it involves land matters, many squires simply feel that it is a pure lie.
The fact is that Jin Gui has no choice.
When he left the palace, the emperor explained carefully, and his intention was very clear: he was just asking these people to explain, and it was not a forced conquest of their land.
In any other era, it would be a bit uncomfortable to ask the government to look at the source of your "huge property", but it would not be a life-threatening matter.
What's more, this is not an era where everyone is equal.
If this is not possible, then it is really time for this majestic imperial power to show its power.
So Jin Gui didn't have the space to do anything else for these arrested people, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should, "I can't get the proof for buying the land, but I found a few account books for bribing officials in your house. Maybe it's I am too honest and I really can’t figure out why you are still claiming injustice.”
Mao Yuwen brought back five people, all of whom were country squires.
"Servant Jin doesn't know something. Among the prosecutors, there are few who can say that he is not unjust."
"Isn't this unfair? There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Which place does not have gentry occupying more land?! Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats have shared the world. If we all are killed, the world will be in chaos!"
Jin Gui was a little surprised. The person who said this was a man in his fifties, with a dark complexion and a raised black mole above his right eyebrow. This was fine, but his face was gloomy, and he looked evil.
"The Emperor said that if nothing is done, chaos will eventually occur. In this case, you, the source of the chaos, will be arrested first. Even if the Ming Dynasty is going to be in chaos, you will be buried first. So you have read these. There is no need to talk about the fallacies that can be said in just a few books. Taking over people's fields is a violation of the court's laws!"
This person probably felt that he had been greatly wronged, "Which prince and princess in the world has not been occupied? Is it only allowed to be occupied by his family? This is not the way to sit in the world!"
Mao Yuwen's expression changed, and he drew the knife and moved forward. He would not kill anyone in front of Jin Gui, but the blade clanged and the cold feeling fell on the man's neck, which frightened him so much that he swallowed his saliva with a thud. .
Jin Gui turned around and said calmly: "Do you think the prince and princess won't hand over the land? They are still stubborn and hopeless."
Then he motioned to the Wanping County Magistrate who was standing behind him, "This person's surname is Zhao and his name is Jian. You can lead people to measure his family's land first, and then organize the people to divide the land. Remember, be honest when the storm is rough, and don't be greedy at any time." Time to be greedy.”
"yes!"
"How dare you do this! That is my family wealth accumulated over three generations!" Zhao Jian went crazy and struggled hard, "I have someone in the capital! He will definitely report my grievances to the emperor!"
Mao Yuwen suddenly became interested, "Tell me, who is it?"
"He is the young minister of Taichang Temple, an official of the fourth rank!"
This is not small, after all, the minister is also a third-rank official, and Zhan Shifu of the East Palace is also a third-rank official.
"What's your last name? Let's see if I can help you."
This person is considered a stupid person, but in such a desperate situation, it is difficult for ordinary people to think rationally, "My surname is Guan, my name is Ting."
Ma Yongcheng suddenly nodded, "Oh, it's him."
Zhao Jian was excited when he heard this, "Eunuch, have you ever heard of this person? He is the villain's brother-in-law! He knows the situation in the villain's family best! The villain is indeed unjust."
Ma Yongcheng said with a smile on his face, "Easy to say, easy to say. You can stay here peacefully, and our family will go find him first."
"Hey, if father-in-law can help, I will be very grateful."
Jin Gui was speechless. Why was he saying unjust words and hinting at bribery in public? I was so frightened that I lost my head.
So he waved his hand impatiently, "Take him down and lock him up."
This Ma Yongcheng is not a kind person, and he has to deceive a dead man at this point.
Jin Gui doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Wanping County is close, and the situation here is just right for him to write a memorial and send it to the palace. Since he has already ordered the magistrate to allocate his fields, it is better to decide the result as soon as possible. If the fields are allotted and the superiors overturn the result he decided, it will be quite passive.
But his step-by-step approach made Mao Yuwen anxious and angry.
So he had no choice but to vent his anger on the remaining people. He slammed the table and said, "Who else has a hard bone? We don't have any other preference but like a hard bone!"
For a moment, everyone was trembling with fear.
However, the people of Wanping County could not hide such a big news. As soon as they heard that these people's fields would be divided for planting, the public sentiment became high in an instant.
How many old men with white beards have never seen the government do such a thing in their entire lives.
…
…
"Your Majesty, this slave is back."
Liu Jin hurried into the palace from outside and returned to the emperor.
Doctor Kui'er was about to leave, but he asked the emperor to stop him, "It won't be a problem."
Then he faced Liu Jin and said, "How is it?"
"In Liangzhongtian, some people are extremely anxious and want Mr. Wangge to quickly tell them how to change to Meiji's butt. Some are still holding on."
"Wait a little longer, there's no blood yet."
"yes."
The emperor waved his hand and told him to go down and stay out of the way.
"Your Majesty... is upset."
Zhu Houliang said clearly, "Okay, I don't want to."
But this environment was quite boring, so he simply tilted his head and stared at Miss Kui'er carefully.
Her eyes are big and curved, her face is white and translucent, her neck is as slender as a swan, and her whole body is tall and slim.
Kui'er felt shy and couldn't help lowering her head.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This is troublesome. It's either hurting your nerves or your kidneys."
The girl studied medicine and understood immediately, and her face turned red instantly.
So the emperor couldn't help it. He was the emperor and he could do it. I probably had such a voice in my heart, so I raised my hand and grabbed the other person’s tender hand.
Miss Kui'er's heart beat faster immediately. She had known that such a day would come.
"The waist of the palace is slender, and she is just about the age of hairpins. She has just been aroused by romance, and she has a double bun with hanging poplars. She is a beginner in strict makeup, and her figure is slim as described, timid and shy of emotions, and her movements are very charming. I think Liu The charming person mentioned in Yong's poem should not be as good as Miss Kui'er."
This is a very direct expression.
The little girl has medical skills but doesn't know how to deal with men at all, but the emperor is not the kind she dislikes when it comes to his love and sex.
"Your Majesty... the daughter of the people... the women of the people don't read and can't understand poetry." Her voice was as loud as a mosquito or a fly, and she didn't even dare to express it.
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and scratched her nose, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just close your eyes."
She really closed her eyes.
