"Mr. Yuan Ge, this cabinet decree is simply a miraculous design.
If we follow this strategy, the people in Xi'an and Fengxiang will basically be able to live a good life from now on. It's simply amazing! "
After a while, Zheng Chongjian and others looked away from the announcement and looked at Yuan Keli.
"Master Zheng, what you said is wrong!"
Yuan Keli smiled and said: "I can responsibly tell you that the contents of this notice are all written by His Majesty.
The cabinet just ghostwritten and polished the details! "
"Your Majesty's idea?"
Everyone's faces were filled with expressions of disbelief.
If it were said to be the work of the cabinet or the six ministers, they would still be able to accept it.
After all, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Han Huang and others were all capable ministers who had experienced three dynasties.
Whether it is people's livelihood at the grassroots level or high-level design, there is enough practice and height for them to accept it.
But Yuan Keli actually said that such an ingenious design came from the hands of an eighteen-year-old boy, which shocked them.
Land recovery, prohibition of private transactions, registration, etc. have fundamentally eliminated the problem of land annexation.
They can climb to this position, these things naturally make sense.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zheng Chongjian and others bowed their hands towards Chongzhen, full of admiration.
Just as everyone was marveling, a voice interrupted everyone's surprise.
"Your Majesty, although selling is beneficial to the country and the people, it will make the land in the hands of most gentry, officials and merchants uncultivable. Will this arouse dissatisfaction among these people?
Moreover, nothing is perfect. Even if the lot is drawn, there are still issues such as the location of farmland and the distance from the village. Will the people be dissatisfied? "
"Master Chen, this matter is easy to handle!
As for the wealthy businessmen and gentry, just be obedient. If you are not obedient, then we will investigate.
I don't believe it. They haven't done anything illegal, tax evasion, etc. in recent years. Even if they haven't, then we can still install one to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. If killing one is not enough, then kill a group of them.
As for the people who are dissatisfied, that would be easier to handle. Those who cause trouble will be disqualified from purchasing.
In fact, there is no need for the official to come forward, the saliva of other common people can drown the troublemaking common people. "
"Master Hong, is this treatment a bit too extreme?"
"A woman's kindness!"
"Master Hong, that's not what you said. What if another civil uprising is triggered?
When the news about the sale of cultivated land in Xi'an and Fengxiang spreads to other six prefectures in Shaanxi, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, will this situation also require killing? Can you come here to kill? "
"Hmph, tell me, is there a better way?
Human nature is greedy. If the people are dissatisfied and cause trouble, they will be replaced. Then other people will follow suit.
What about these remote places?
To honest people? Do honest people deserve to be bullied?
In the end, it was meant to benefit the people, but it turned out to be a farce. The court was not a human being inside and outside. Is this what you want to see? "
"Hey, I am not..."
…
Chen Qiyu and Hong Chengchou were arguing because of their different opinions. Gradually everyone in the hall joined in and started a heated discussion.
Yuan Keli and Zeng Xian looked at each other, looking at Chongzhen with helpless eyes.
But Chongzhen shook his head slightly, signaling the two of them to listen quietly.
Through this kind of argument, it is easy to judge a person's character and governance ability.
From the argument between the two just now, we can find that their personalities are indeed similar to those recorded in history.
Chen Qiyu was indecisive, good at strategy, and indecisive, while Hong Chengchou was decisive in killing.
Historically, when the civil uprising occurred in Shaanxi after the second year of Chongzhen, the strategy of Yang He, the governor of the three sides at that time, was to suppress and appeasement while focusing on appeasement. As the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou should have supported his superior's strategy.
But this man not only did not support them, but instead vigorously encircled and suppressed them and even killed them. At that time, he killed tens of thousands of surrendered bandits.
He replied to the court: The court was unable to feed a large number of hungry people, and those who had been rescued were revolting one after another. Rather than guarding them day and night, it would be better to kill them and end them all in one fell swoop.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yang He was deposed and Hong Chengchou became the governor of the three sides. He changed the previous suppression campaign to an all-out suppression campaign and concentrated his forces to attack the Shaanxi peasant army.
It can be said that if Hong Chengchou's ruthlessness had not greatly frightened the refugees, Li Zicheng would have captured Beijing at least three to five years in advance.
After all, natural disasters continued throughout the northwest in those years, and everything was in complete chaos.
After listening for a while, Chongzhen had a rough idea and coughed lightly.
The voices of arguments in the hall disappeared instantly, their faces changed slightly, and they all saluted towards Chongzhen.
"Everyone, don't complicate simple things. If the Ming Dynasty is clarified all over the world, of course we can slowly think of ways to give the people a satisfactory explanation.
But is the reality allowed?
Let’s not talk about the Ming Dynasty. Don’t you know what is happening in Shaanxi as a whole?
Farming is about to be busy. If I miss the time, this year will be in vain. I think Hong Chengchou's idea is very good, and it can cut through the mess quickly. "
A quick cut of the knot, completely setting the tone for selling the land.
"Yuan Aiqing, please tell everyone the specific content and precautions, and then assign them to the states and counties. Three days later, Xi'an and Fengxiang will go on sale on time. After you finish talking, come to the back garden to find me!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he walked straight out of Chengyun Hall. After everyone in the hall saluted Chongzhen's back, Yuan Keli's voice rang out in the hall.
After Chongzhen left the Chengyun Hall, he walked around the Qin Palace. The Round Hall, the Cunxin Hall, the Shanchuan Altar, the Sheji Altar, the Banner Temple, the Qin Ancestral Temple, etc., were all magnificent.
Even the offices of Dianbu Hall, Jishan Institute, Good Doctor Institute, Dianshan Institute and other institutions are very impressive.
Such a scale shows the dignity of the first vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hey, it's a pity that such a royal palace is so abandoned!"
"Your Majesty, if this palace is well maintained and repaired, it will be okay to give it to your Majesty's prince in the future!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished sighing, Cao Bianjiao spoke up.
Listening to Cao Bianjiao's response, Chongzhen screamed in his heart.
Let's not talk about him. He wants to rectify the clan. Even if he doesn't rectify it, he can't entrust his son to Shaanxi.
Shaanxi has suffered from droughts, floods and locusts since the fifth year of Chongzhen. Even though he has done so much, he will continue to make some major strategies in the future. It is hard to say whether future natural disasters can be changed.
What does it mean to entrust your son to Shaanxi?
Do you want to trick your son as early as possible?
Cao Bianjiao looked at Chongzhen's strange expression and whispered: "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?"
"fine!"
Chongzhen waved his hand. He didn't know whether Cao Bianjiao really didn't know or was just pretending to be stupid.
However, he would rather Cao Bianjiao really didn't know. Soldiers should be more pure and not get involved in such things, so that they can be more loyal to the court and the emperor.
After wandering for half an hour, and more than half of the entire Qin Palace, Yuan Keli took Zeng Xian to find Chongzhen in the back garden.
