The so-called reform is the reallocation of interests.

In this way, it will inevitably touch the vested interests of some people, so there will be some support and some opposition.

Tie Xuan operated a series of iron-fisted operations in Z. Although those wealthy families with the right hands were obedient, there were still many who could not find any other person's handle. The landlords of the great clan fought against the government.

The policy of placing acres to earn acres touched the interests of the wealthy and landlords, and the middle and lower-class middle and poor peasants.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi looked a little solemn, the old man thought for a while and said, "What's wrong?"

"Tie Hyun still encountered resistance in the ground!"

Zhu Yunxiu pushed the note to the old man, but he didn't expect that the latter would just use chopsticks to pull it aside, and he didn't even look at it.

"Three hundred and twenty gentrymen, in front of the governor's yamen, brought their family members and tenants to sit quietly and protest!" Zhu Yunxiu continued.

The old man stood up with his eyebrows, "This is not easy to deal with!"

Whether it is imperial power or the power of officials, it is not absolutely superior to the people, and it cannot be arbitrarily asked for it.

Especially in such a feudal era, if officials treat the people too harshly, would they still have a reputation? Besides, they are just sitting quietly, not causing trouble, and the government cannot use heavy hand.

Such things are actually common, and they occur every year in the world, especially when it comes to paying taxes and grains. Whether it is a county magistrate or a prefect, when encountering such a thing, they will politely invite the leading fellow villagers to the back hall and speak nicely.

If the person who caused trouble is politely sent away, the government will take care of the food if they don’t leave. For fear that someone will be hungry, if it catches the rain and snow, and someone will get sick due to protest, it will be even more amazing.

As long as someone writes on one, it is a sin to take off a black hat.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials ruled the people rather than violence. For the people, as long as they are reasonable, the government must consider the people's ideas, and cannot act alone, nor can they just be honest.

"It's not just his governor's yamen, but in addition to Ningbo, there are many gentry and landlords protesting!" Zhu Yunxiu continued, "The memorial also said that the Qiantang County Magistrate asked several old men to block the door with crutches, and cursed them bloodily!"

"Gentleman, sometimes he is the helper of the court, sometimes he is not a thing!" The old man smiled and scolded.

"Tie Xuan's memorial said that he was not afraid of criticism. If those people protested and caused trouble, he directly ordered the arrest of people." Zhu Yunxiu continued, "But, the chief officials of various prefectures did not think so. Many officials put on the news, saying that Tie Xuan's government orders were too impatient!"

"As a result, local officials do not cooperate very well, and Tiexuan will be useless no matter how hard he is!" Zhu Yunxiu frowned and continued, "and he also said that in fact, officials from various prefectures and counties are very partial to those who make trouble and protest!"

"He, a man from the north, went directly to the south to be the governor. It would take some time to clean up his subordinates!" The old man whispered, "Besides, his governor is clearly uncomfortable. It would be strange if he doesn't act erratic and disobey them in secret!"

"What the emperor said is that it is difficult to do things in the officialdom, and it is even more difficult to do things in the officialdom!" Zhu Yunxiong sighed slightly, "Tie Xuan has talent, but he still lacks the experience at the bottom. He and Jing Qing are okay with those wealthy families, but they are a little too busy to deal with the landlords in Shangzhou Prefectures!"

The old man looked at him, "You are the emperor, you can do it yourself!"

~~~

Han Kezhong, the top scorer in the new academic field, and editor of the Hanlin Academy, stood nervously outside the Fengtian Hall, waiting for the emperor's summons.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on the magnificent hall, and the reflected light made people dare not look directly at it.

"Mr. Han, come with the zodiac family!"

"It's a good father-in-law!"

Han Kezhong sorted out his clothes and followed the turtle to the emperor's office, step by step, and waited quietly.

The turtle shame whispered through the curtain, "Master, Han Kezhong is here!"

Zhu Yunxiu's voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Then, the turtle's shame flashed slightly and gave way to Han Kezhong.

Han Kezhong lowered his head, walked over the threshold, entered the door and kowtowed, "My teacher, come to the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu sat on the soft couch, holding Han Kezhong's test paper that day in his hand, reading every word and sentence carefully, without asking the other party to get up, and said directly, "The paper I read is different from the angle of others starting from!"

As he said, he did not know the test paper, "Land annexation, others are looking at the overall situation. You are looking at the countryside, from the small and medium-sized landlords. Have you ever had a resume working in the countryside?"

Han Kezhong looked up, restrained his inner tension, and said, "When I was studying in my hometown, I had some prestige among the people because I was a juren. I often helped each other out ideas, and often followed them around the countryside!"

"That's it!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the paper, "You can flatten your body, bring him a stool!"

Afterwards, Zhu Yunxiu didn't care whether Han Kezhong dared to sit down and continued to speak, "How many people in the countryside gentry gathered to protest and complain?"

Han Kezhong thought about it, and he didn't know why the emperor was doing this, so he honestly replied, "There are also some. Sometimes the officials gave more corvee labor and more civil servants were recruited, and some middle-aged and large households would go to make trouble."

"However, it's not usually a mess. The village chiefs and scholars like me will talk about peace and harmony, and it will pass."

"When the imperial court promoted the government to invest in acres in Shandong, some people couldn't understand the grievances and complained. However, they all scared the government and did not dare to go too far. As long as they didn't overdo it, the government would not know anything bad to say in private!"

"If it really starts to make a fuss! For example, hundreds of people sit quietly in front of the yamen to protest against the government's orders!" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

"Then... I'll catch it!" Han Kezhong said, "If you don't catch it once, the gentry will take it as the norm and will do it next time!"

"What do you think about the acres of dittoes?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

Han Kezhong pondered for a moment, "My deeds! After the acres are spread, the land population in various places is clearer than before, and tax collection is more efficient. At the same time, it does not harm the people, because the cap tax has been changed to land tax, and the family pays as much tax as the land. The small family's self-cultivated farmers and small and medium-sized landlords have benefited!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun nodded.

The Ming Dynasty was also an agricultural society, with a stubborn agricultural disease that had been experienced throughout the years. That is, the unclear land population, and the reforms he made were to make the blood of these countries clear. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty's finances benign and the Ming Dynasty's state machinery operate efficiently.

Just like the later Qing Dynasty, the reason why Emperor Qianlong was able to launch wars repeatedly was often spent tens of millions of taels of silver to expand its territory and allowed the Qing Dynasty's military power to go wild in Central Asia for a time. It was his son. Yongzheng, who had been in power for thirteen years, left his descendants with an efficient state machine.

Local finance directly belongs to the center, whether it is money or grain, it is unified by the central government of the court to allocate, manage, and recruit.

The taxes are distributed to the acres, the officials and gentry are responsible for their work, and the fire is consumed and the money is returned to the public. All of them are good policies that are beneficial to the country and the people. The landlords naturally feel wronged, but they are deeply supported by the middle and lower classes.

To put it bluntly, this is also one of the reasons why the late Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country so many times, but it has been able to survive. And after repeated huge compensation, it still has money to use it in the military.

"However, I think it's easy to get a tax on a mu. As long as the government is tougher, the gentry protests will be useless!" Han Kezhong hesitated and continued to speak, "It's not easy to get the job of paying food together. The former is just paying more taxes, while the latter is directly..." As he said, he paused, "It hurts their roots directly!"

"You can say this, which shows that you are a person with a lot of thoughts!" Zhu Yunxiu praised, then stood up, walked back with his hands, and slowly said, "Don't stay in Hanlin Academy, you are not the kind of person who can study with peace of mind!"

Han Kezhong was delighted. He really didn't want to stay in the Hanlin Academy for a day. He buried his collection of classics, history, and compiling historical books every day was not what he wanted.
