Officials and gentry all receive food from one body.
This was a policy that was only introduced during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was only after the national financial crisis reached a certain level.
For today's Ming Dynasty, the national conditions are different, and the difficulty of implementing it is simply too great.
The most important thing is that now that the world has been decided, Zhu Yuanzhang will reward meritorious ministers, which will allow them to receive the food together.
It doesn’t make sense!
At least in the minds of those with vested interests, it is difficult to get over it.
Su Jing never thought that this could be changed, so she and Zhu Biao just talked about it casually.
However, what he didn't know was that Zhu Biao's heart was already in turmoil at this time.
Xu Miaoyun on the side was also shocked by Su Jing's words.
Officials and gentry all receive food from one body?
In Xu Miaoyun's view, it was definitely a good thing for scholars to be exempted from taxes and corvee.
This is a good measure to promote the efforts of scholars.
However, the meaning of Mr. Su's words is that if he continues like this, Ming Dynasty will not be able to do anything.
In the Xu family, Xu Miaoyun also met Zhu Yuanzhang, and she also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's life.
Because his father Xu Da often told her about following Zhu Yuanzhang to fight for the world.
In Xu Miaoyun's impression, Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely an extremely wise founding hero.
but.
After listening to the class with Prince Zhu Biao for a while, I heard this content.
Xu Miaoyun was shocked inside, because after thinking about it carefully, she also believed that what Su Jing said was right.
soon.
The news from Zhu Yuanzhang came back, and Xu Miaoyun could go home directly.
Of course, this was conveyed by the servants of the Xu family.
Su Jingquan pretended not to see it and didn't want to ask anything.
"Mr. Su, my little girl is going back first. What I heard from Mr. Su today was very useful. I would like to thank Mr. Su again."
Xu Miaoyun bowed to Su Jing with great respect.
Not just because Su Jing is Prince Zhu Biao's teacher.
"Walk slowly."
Su Jing just said casually.
Zhu Biao, on the other hand, said to Xu Miaoyun, "I will definitely come to apologize someday."
Zhu Biao was still too kind-hearted and always felt that he had caused Xu Miaoyun to be harmed.
"Brother Niu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to listen to Mr. Su's teachings. Speaking of which, I also made the profit."
Xu Miaoyun said with a smile, without any dissatisfaction.
When Zhu Biao saw this, he became even more apologetic. He picked up a few sweet potatoes from the ground and handed them to Xu Miaoyun, saying, "Take this back and give it to your uncle to try. It can be regarded as my apology."
"I'll definitely let my father try it."
Xu Miaoyun nodded and then left.
This little episode ended just like that.
Zhu Biao picked up the hoe and started digging sweet potatoes with Su Jing.
"Master Su, I've thought about it. What you said about officials and gentry receiving food from one body is definitely a correct idea."
Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.
Su Jing smiled and said: "There are many correct ideas, but many things cannot be done correctly."
"This has been the case since ancient times. Isn't Wang Jinggong's reform wrong? In the end, it was not abolished except for the law to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army."
"Where is Niu Yi? You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you are not a commoner. Live a good life. Those things I mentioned are all in the future, and it is not your turn."
"As long as you don't imitate those officials and gentry who exploit the people, I will be satisfied."
Su Jing thinks that she is still a very tolerant person.
He and Zhu Biao had a kind of master-disciple relationship, and his starting point for Zhu Biao was only so much.
After hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao immediately replied seriously: "Master Su, don't worry, students will never imitate those people who enslave and exploit the people."
At this moment, Zhu Biao was making a promise to Su Jing as the prince, even though it was only in his heart.
"Then I will remember what you said."
Su Jing also looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile.
"As it should be!"
Zhu Biao replied decisively.
Ying Tianfu.
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.
Xu Miaoyun, who had just returned from Lishui County, did not go home, but was summoned to the palace by Queen Ma.
"Miaoyun has met the queen."
Xu Miaoyun saluted Queen Ma respectfully.
Empress Ma said kindly: "Miaoyun, there is no need to salute, just treat this place as home. I called you here just to see you."
The relationship between the Zhu and Xu families is still very good.
"Yes, Queen."
Xu Miaoyun also relaxed a lot. She was very relaxed in front of Queen Ma.
After all, this was the one who hugged me when I was a child.
Empress Ma asked with a smile: "Miaoyun, I heard that you met Biao'er in Lishui County today, is that right?"
Xu Miaoyun nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, Brother Prince would be there."
Queen Ma continued: "Then you have also met Mr. Su. What do you think of Mr. Su?"
Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned. She originally thought that Queen Ma's focus should be on her meeting the prince.
But she reacted quickly and briefly recalled: "Mr. Su is a wonderful person, unusual."
"Miaoyun has never seen such a teacher. Mr. Su's knowledge makes Miaoyun extremely admired."
Empress Ma nodded slightly and said, "It seems that we have the same view. Mr. Su does have far-sightedness."
Then, the two chatted casually about some family matters, and then Xu Miaoyun left.
As soon as Xu Miaoyun left, Queen Ma said with a smile on her face:
"Miaoyun is pretty good, but it's still some years before he leaves the cabinet, and Mr. Su's side is not easy to say."
If Su Jing knew that Queen Ma had this idea, she would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.
In his eyes, Xu Miaoyun is just a little girl now. How can they be a couple? The age gap is too big.
However, at this time, women can get married at age 14 and men at age 16.
Although it is not particularly late for people like Su Jing who are not married at the age of 20, there are not many.
"Sister, how are you? Su Jing gave a lecture. What did Miao Yun hear?"
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly walked to Kunning Palace and asked Queen Ma.
In fact, he originally wanted to ask Xu Miaoyun in person, but it turned out that the things Su Jing usually taught were too "scary", and he felt uneasy if he didn't ask.
But Queen Ma stopped him in time.
This Xu Miaoyun is no stranger. His father Xu Da is Zhu Yuanzhang's number one general.
When people were fighting for the world for Lao Zhu's family, they were brave and charged forward.
It would be inappropriate to question someone else's daughter over something like this.
That's why Queen Ma came forward to talk to Xu Miaoyun.
"Nothing special. I just briefly talked about some opinions about corrupt officials. Miaoyun was not interested in these, so he didn't listen carefully."
Queen Ma said.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately asked: "What do corrupt officials think? Will Su Jing say these things?"
Regarding Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to ask more clearly.
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "Anyway, Biao'er will definitely write a letter and come back by then. You'll know by then."
"Don't do any secret investigation by Gongwei Lang, or you will break the heart of Wei Guogong!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma's attitude, he also followed Queen Ma and said:
"I know, sister, I definitely won't."
Outside the palace.
Xu Miaoyun felt a little uneasy in her heart. Even though she and Queen Ma were happily chatting, she was actually very nervous.
Or Su Jing's remarks were too bold, directly questioning Zhu Yuanzhang's policies.
It seems like the sun has returned, and I feel uncomfortable.
