If the Ming Dynasty wanted to make things right, it would be far from enough to rely on Emperor Chongzhen alone. This requires a phased plan and a large number of people will be involved.

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that what the Ming Dynasty needed was change, but how to change, the scale and scope of this change would test his ability.

At which stage, what things to do, and who to use, can be achieved under the gradual fine-tuning and changes of the Ming Dynasty, and can also ensure that the order of the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic. This is the fundamental point.

"After talking about the Military Affairs Office, let's talk about the place."

Emperor Chongzhen looked firm and looked at Li Banghua and said, "Your family needs to do a lot of things as the governor of Huguang, otherwise the pressure on me and the pressure accumulated by the court will not be alleviated."

"Please make it clear to you."

Li Banghua bowed and said.

After learning that he had taken office in Huguang, Li Banghua thought in his heart that the emperor must have important matters, and asked him to implement them one by one when he was the governor of Huguang.

Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Carrest the private annexation of the clans and vassals in Huguang, crack down on private salt sales, establish the Huguang Disaster Relief Administration, prepare for the establishment of the official factories, clarify the private expropriation policies, abolish and add cash gates, abolish Huguang coins, investigate

The ill-fated policies of the officialdom…”

One decision to point directly to the Mingmen was told from Emperor Chongzhen that Li Banghua felt a lot of surging and shock deep in his heart.

Too many things to do.

The involvement is too wide.

It was too difficult to ask him to implement these things one by one. It could be said that he stood opposite to the local officialdom in Huguang, including vassals, gentry, landlords of all sizes.

"His Majesty……"

Li Banghua wanted to speak but stopped.

"Young family, I know what you want to say."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand and said, "What I said is not something I have to do for a year or two, but it takes three years and five years to understand the local situation in Huguang and gradually open up the situation.

Made.

What's more, the Governor of Huguang is just the first step. At a critical period, I will replace the governors under Huguang one by one.

After your family takes office in Huguang, don’t think about going there, you can gain a foothold. You must first inspect the prefectures and counties under Huguang to understand the local situation.

In addition, in view of what I think, the Silis and Supervisor respected my will and carried out corresponding screening and listing. All the things are easy to operate and what are difficult to handle are marked.

When the Qing family leaves the palace, these will be delivered to the Qing family."

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart what he was talking about in Huguang, so he never thought of becoming fat in one bite.

If Li Banghua took office in Huguang and could do it according to the deployment he had imagined, then in five years and combined with the local situation in Huguang, it can be implemented gradually. As for whether the results can be achieved within these five years, Emperor Chongzhen

I don't care in my heart.

If there is no results in these five years, it is OK to see them in the next five years. At least this means that there will be corresponding changes in Huguang.

The overall phased reform of the Ming Dynasty.

The phased reforms of the Ming Dynasty.

It was the route conceived by Emperor Chongzhen. In this way, hostile forces could be spread out and the contradictions could be dispersed, and the Ming Dynasty could gradually change.

"I will do my best."

Li Banghua said with a tough bullet.

"Your family is not trying their best, it is a must."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward, patted Li Banghua on the arm, and said, "I know that it is very difficult and stressful to do these things well.

But the Ming Dynasty is really hard to wait.

If the Qing family wants to retreat, then everyone is like this. If the Ming Dynasty wants to revive and solve the problems, it will undoubtedly be as difficult as heaven."

Li Banghua's expression changed. Looking at the emperor's firm expression and firm attitude, he immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the edict!"

"By the way, when your family leaves Beijing and takes office, they will have to carry two secret decrees."

Emperor Chongzhen bent down and helped Li Banghua up and continued, "I gave it to Fujian Governor Fang Kongzhao and Guangdong and Guangxiong Governor Xiong Wencan. After they took office, they had a lot of things to do in the local area.

I know.

Many people in the court had criticized and opposed the matter of opening and trading in Tianjin.

Everything said.

However, the matter of opening sea and commerce must be firmly carried out. This is a good strategy for opening up the source of the national treasury and a good strategy to reduce the burden on the people under the Meiji Dynasty."

Li Banghua frowned and said, "Have you ever thought that if everyone saw the benefits brought by opening sea and communicating, then who would rely on to plant the land under the Ming Dynasty?"

The Ming Dynasty's thoughts on opposing agriculture and suppressing commerce were actually very serious. There were actually many ideas about ministers like Li Banghua.

Emperor Chongzhen asked back: "Will the land under the Ming Dynasty ensure that there are people in the land under the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Banghua: “…”

Facing the Emperor's question, Li Banghua was speechless for a moment.

He knew that the emperor asked this, and the potential meaning was that land annexation was a disaster in various places. In fact, there were many things and many bad policies. It was not unclear to the group of the Ming ruling class.

But no matter how clear you are, whether you can say it, whether you dare to say it, whether you dare to say it, or whether you should say it, has become a factor that many people are concerned about.

"I know that under the Ming Dynasty, there were many refugees and many bankrupt people."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted his sleeves and said, "I want to properly place this group to ensure the stability of local order, there is no better way.

The land has its own master.

If they plant, they will cause damage to other groups.

Since this road is not working, why can't we set up official factories and ask them to gather together and rely on their own hands to earn money to support their families in Hukou?"

Li Banghua pondered for a moment and frowned and said, "I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to do."

"It's hard to do, so do it slowly."

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. If everything is used to make excuses, then governing the Ming Dynasty will become empty talk.

This is the first time I have become an emperor and the first time I have ruled the world. In fact, there are many things that are constantly moving forward while exploring.

I hope your family can keep this in mind.

It is not scary to do something wrong. What is scary is that even though we know it is a wrong thing, we stubbornly stick to it. We must all have the courage to overcome all obstacles, so that the Ming Dynasty can get better and better."

Understanding the current situation of the Ming Dynasty and let Emperor Chongzhen understand that to change the ideology of the Ming Dynasty and change many of the Ming Dynasty's ideas, only by doing this well can the Ming Dynasty change it.

If you want to do this, someone needs to do practical things. What he, the Emperor of Ming, has to do is to support these people.
