Chapter 56 Please think twice, Your Majesty (2)
Upon hearing this, Tie Hyun and Han Kezhong were shocked and stood up to apologize.
"Not you blame me!" Zhu Yunxiu was open-minded and smiled self-deprecatingly, "No one can understand how many officials have misconceptions! I have issued an edict in various places since the spring of the second year of Yongchang, and the officials reported it themselves. What's the result? Hey, it's a mess, just a few words, deal with things, avoiding the most important things!"
As he said that, he shook his head and said, "Even my Jinyiwei, I can't find out how much land the officials have! It is a rare and remarkable contribution that you can figure out the landlords and wealthy families in the world!"
Seeing the emperor like this, Tie Hyun Han Kezhong sighed.
The emperor was right. Who can find out the accounts from ancient times to the present? There was no clear time in all dynasties from the founding of the country to the demise of the country.
"So, the reason why your Zhejiang, including other provinces, promote the distribution of acres well and achieves quick results is that it only affects the small interests of some landlords, but does not harm their fundamental interests. They cannot do so. For these trivial matters, they have a terrible relationship with me, the emperor!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu frowned and stood up, slapped the windowsill heavily.
"But the emperor has to do next!" Tie Xuan stood up, followed Zhu Yunxiu's footsteps, and whispered, "I'm afraid it's going to hurt their roots!"
"Are you afraid?" Zhu Yunhuang turned his head and smiled.
Tie Xuan shook his head, "It's not that I'm afraid of, what's the point of being afraid of, I can only be broken into pieces. I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly, "You guys are not afraid of doing things. What are my behind-the-scenes commanders afraid of?"
At this moment, footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs, and Deng Ping's voice, "Long live, you all have arrived!"
~~
Between Sumeru, the second floor of Lezhizhai was filled with people, all of whom were Zhu Yunyu's confidant civil officials.
Zhu Yunxiu's eyes slowly looked over, and everyone raised their heads and looked at his eyes.
"I suddenly remembered the past!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "I was not the emperor yet. I was in charge of state affairs for the emperor's grandfather. I met my ministers in this study every day to deal with government affairs!"
Everyone was silent, knowing that what the emperor wanted to say was definitely not as simple as chatting about family matters.
"In a blink of an eye, these years have passed!" Zhu Yunsheng sighed and smiled, "Who do you still remember Ling Tietou?"
"I will never forget the name of my teacher!" Hou Yong said.
"I was in this study at the beginning. Ling Han told me, "Your Majesty, the matters in the world must be thunderous, but you must also slowly draw them to distinguish the order and the second. Some things can be urgent, some things cannot be urgent. Some things can be done immediately if conditions permit, and some things must be done when the time is ripe!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Now I think there is something, the time is up!"
Yes, the time has come.
Zhu Yunxiu is now going to take action against the biggest stubborn disease of the Zhongxia Kingdom from ancient times to the present, the gentry class.
Everyone was watching the emperor, waiting for the following.
"It's a good job of digging into the acres!" Zhu Yunxiu crossed his legs, looking very relaxed. "So I decided to implement the most important step in the new policy." As he said, his smile restrained, "That is, officials and gentry work together and pay food together!"
Dead silence, the hall is dead silence.
But everyone's expression was fully visible to Zhu Yun's eyes.
He clearly saw that some people were surprised, some were lucky, some were frightened, some were excited, and some were lowered their heads and pondered silently.
This is what Tie Xuan said just now, to mobilize officials and gentry!
It is equivalent to digging their ancestral tombs.
"Tell me!" Zhu Yunxiu picked up another walnut and said with a smile, "Speak casually, it's not just a secret word from our monarch and ministers. It's okay to say something wrong, and it won't be passed into other people's ears!"
Silence, everyone is still silent.
So much so that with a click, the sound of walnuts shattering was particularly clear and harsh.
~~
"As soon as this policy comes out..." Zhu Gaochi spoke first, "The world is in an uproar!"
Eight words directly reveal the worst consequences.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, his eyes firm and unmoved.
"In this way, neither the officials nor scholars can agree!" Hou Yong said in a deep thought, "Master, think twice!"
"I'm asking the emperor to think twice!" In an instant, several ministers stood up and bowed down to salute.
"I know you all have good intentions!" Zhu Yunxiu blew the walnut shell shavings in his hand, poured the walnut kernel slag in his fingers into his mouth, and smiled, "Let's talk about the benefits first!"
Xin Yande stood up and said, "People's heart!"
Zhang Ju, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, pondered for a moment, "Official administration!"
Xie Jin, the Grand Secretary of Nanshufang, sighed, "Treasury Finance!"
Hou Yong, Minister of Personnel, opened his mouth, "Land annexation!"
Shangshu Bao Zhao, the Independent Yuan, laughed, "The benefits are endless!"
However, he immediately looked worried, "Emperor, Emperor Taizu Gao once said that the family of food and wealth is as high as the common people, and those who follow the matters of the people who are in charge of the affairs of the people who are in charge of the affairs of the people. If a wise man and a gentleman value his body and serve his family again, then the gentleman and the savage man have no distinction, which is not the way to persuade the wise man to treat the wise man. From now on, the hundred officials have seen the family of officials, and those who have land and land will be exempted from their labor service."
The Ming Dynasty was waiting for scholars from the officials and gentry class, but in fact it started with the old man.
In fact, it is quite incredible to think about it. The old man hates these people the most and guards against them the most. He is also called a tyrant by them in private. But he still has a huge grace to these emperors. Isn’t it a bit difficult to understand?
As an ordinary person, it may not be able to understand, but as emperor Zhu Yunyu, he had already been in touch with each other.
As I said, these people are the pillars that maintain the Ming Dynasty, and the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty.
Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the stubborn disease of all dynasties, but also the magic medicine for the rise and fall of the dynasty.
Think about the original time and space, how many gentry recruited troops to resist Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty when the Ming and Qing dynasties changed.
Let me talk later that hundreds of years later, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others who suppressed the Taiping Army in the Qing Dynasty were also from this class.
To put it more, when the Qing Dynasty was passed down to Emperor Gaozong, the new policy of Emperor Shizong was abolished. In fact, what was abolished was the one who paid food and served as a whole, while the one who spread the stakes to earn a mu was used.
"As the saying goes, learn martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family!" Bao Zhao continued, "Emperor, what is the purpose of scholars to be officials?" As he said, he looked around for a week. "I would like to say a bad truth. I am a scholar, and I am a gentry and an official, to distinguish it from the people!"
"It is to be treated by the country and be treated by the king as superior to others!"
"If officials and gentry are in charge, then both officials and people and local gentry scholars must serve the country!"
"Everyone pays food, you have to pay taxes and pay grain! Then, what is the meaning of studying? What is the meaning of being an official?"
"Isn't that the difference between high and low?"
His words were correct, and he left room for nothing.
Once Zhu Yunxiu did this, it would destroy the soil of traditional Confucian thought and culture that has been deeply rooted for thousands of years.
To be honest, it is the anger of officials and gentry.
To put it bluntly, it is the loss of the cornerstone for maintaining the operation of the country.
Doing this is like shooting oneself in the foot!
But....
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu felt a little funny and burst into a burst of heroism, "I can't do what Yongzheng can do?"
"I know what you said is right and right!" Zhu Yunxiu said slowly, "I know it is difficult. If it is not difficult, I will not ask you to discuss it!"
Han Kezhong said in a quiet voice, "As you said, there are many difficulties! But as you said, there are more benefits!" As he said, he looked at Zhu Yunxi, "But I think the biggest difficulty in this policy is not the interests you said! It does not involve any principles of the rule of the king and his ministers, or the unstable statement."
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxiu was very surprised, "Tell me carefully!"
"The biggest difficulty lies in people!" Han Kezhong said loudly, "The emperor's new policy hurts the interests of scholars and officials and gentry all over the world. Those who implement such a new policy must also be officials of scholars!"
"The so-called rules and so-called privileges for thousands of years are actually because everyone is here and is unwilling to do things against themselves!"
"The difficulty now lies in the difficulty. Whoever is willing to provoke the window paper will be criticized by thousands of people!"
As he said that, Han Kezhong sneered, "As for the uproar in the world, the anger in the crowd, and the scolding of thousands of people. I said something very disrespectful. When Emperor Taizu Gao swept the world's scholars, who dared to say no?"
