Chapter 164: Millennium Changes, Eight Strategies in Yizhong
In Yuqiu Station, Jia Lan talks eloquently.
"Land clearing is the work that best reflects the majesty of the imperial court. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongwu cleared the country several times and made a fish scale atlas. At the same time, the household registration was counted and a yellow book of household stickers was made. Only in this way did Emperor Yongle's five
The glory of the Second Northern Expedition.
However, it was also after Hongwu that the Ming court's management of household registration gradually relaxed, and then the land administration gradually declined. In the Wanli period, Zhang Jiangling used the power of the prime minister and assistant to clear the land, supplemented by new laws, and the former Ming Dynasty Zuofang was extended
Fifty years..."
Qin Zhong thought for a while and asked: "According to what the third brother said, the imperial court's move to clear the land must be a precursor to a series of reforms?"
"That's right." Jia Lan pointed to the newspaper: "Since the thirteenth year of Qingfeng, natural disasters have continued in various places. While providing disaster relief, the imperial court has also been sorting out the administration of officials in various places, severely punishing a group of corrupt officials, and replacing them with new ones."
The original prefect of Shuntian, Sheng Hong, who was now promoted to governor of Shuntian, and the governors of Hedong and Hebei, were either the old subordinates of Emperor Qingfeng, or ministers who supported and had the ability to implement the reform.
Except for Sheng Hong, who is his master, all the officials in Hebei and Hedong were mentioned to him by Feng Ziying.
Liang Yongxi said: "So, with the court's actions, our court is about to usher in a new atmosphere?"
Jialan nodded, then shook his head.
"The direction of the imperial court is in the right direction, but I think it is too slow. Now that the world is in chaos, it is an opportunity for the imperial court, and it is also an opportunity for ambitious people!"
Qin Zhong asked: "Could the so-called ambitious people refer to the bandits in the newspaper?"
Jia Lan shook his head slightly: "More than..."
Realizing what Jia Lan was referring to, Liang Yong, who is from Guangnan, thought of something: "Third brother, do you mean the Westerners from Nanyang? Those Francois?"
"Yes, but not entirely...Brother, do you remember what you once told us about our coastal defense?"
Liang Yong was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Jia Lan said in a deep voice: "After my trip south, especially after having an in-depth talk with Mr. He and Mr. Luo, I thought the situation was more serious than what you said before, brother!"
Liang Yong and Qin Zhong were both curious about why Jia Lan valued Westerners so much. Even Liang Yong was only worried about the laxity of coastal defenses. He felt that Westerners were at best like the people from the grasslands, just coveting the rich products of China.
.Including him, everyone in Daxia believed that the biggest enemy of the imperial court was still Beidi, who was retreating to the northeast corner.
Faced with the doubts of the two people, Jia Lan did not continue.
Even though Liang Yong has advanced knowledge, even though Qin Zhong witnessed Hao Jing Fran's Clippers with his own eyes, there is an upper limit to a person's cognition in a certain period of time.
Is it possible for Jia Lan to tell the two of them that despite the continuous natural disasters, this is still secondary. The Westerners are the most terrifying existence. They are about to invade the East in a brand-new way, which directly leads to the centuries-old decline of China. p>
"Only when you travel can you realize how vast the universe is. If Westerners can build such exquisite speedboats, how can they be like the tribes living on the grasslands?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Tingyou purchased red cannons from Hao Jing and severely damaged Beidi. A hundred years have passed by in a blink of an eye. How can the Franco people be a country that is stuck in its own way?
If it hadn't been for Mr. He and Mr. Luo to tell us, how could we have known that the Western countries were like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with numerous princes.
But if there is a country as strong as Ying Qin, and it sweeps away all the Western countries and integrates them into one, who knows that it will not move thousands of miles to the east?"
Jia Lan's successive questions caused Liang Yong and Qin Zhong to fall into silence, but he did not give enough time for the two of them to think deeply, but directly expressed his opinion: "What we are facing now is the land of China in the Middle Earth."
A major change unprecedented in three thousand years!"
"There are not only internal worries, but also external ones. If the court wants to overcome this difficulty, it must seize time!"
Jia Lan looked at everyone in the room with burning eyes.
Yes, we must seize time. This is a major plan that affects the fate of China for hundreds of years!
……
"Seizing time?" Qin Zhong murmured.
"A major change not seen in three thousand years?" Liang Yong was also surprised.
In fact, what Jia Lan said was too unexpected, or too advanced, so no wonder the two of them were surprised.
Why Jialan spoke out about the matter at this time was because he needed to win over more like-minded people, and he knew that what he had to do would definitely be difficult.
To save China's decline, the only thing to do is to change customs and use an advanced class to transform the old system.
"I think the imperial court not only needs to clear the fields, but also needs to control tax burdens, build water conservancy projects, develop maritime trade, introduce new species, train the navy, clarify laws and regulations, and rectify the administration of officials...
Only by determining the tax burden can we make up for the excess losses and make up for the deficiencies, so that the displaced people can return to their hometowns, make the place stable and the people happy.
Building water conservancy projects and providing relief through work to overcome difficulties will also lay the foundation for future generations.
Expanding sea trade will revitalize commerce, expand production, and increase people's livelihood. At the same time, various Western crops can be introduced to replenish China's soil, especially gold and silver, which are extremely lacking in our country.
After the sea is opened, the navy should be organized and trained to stabilize the sea route. If there is an incident in Liaodong in the future, it can also rush across the sea to help.
……
However, the greatest weapon in the world cannot be maintained without the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Once the laws are established, the people must hear them, and do not let treacherous people take advantage of them, causing the good laws to be corrupted. Once the laws are heard, they must be diligently implemented and not be used by the public.
Establishing talented people is not enough to protect them, so we should send censors to patrol the world to clarify the administration of officials, so that the wise ones can be promoted and the unworthy ones should be removed.
As a result, China's land will be cleansed, the people and things will be harmonious, and the country will be in harmony!"
Liang Yong and Qin Zhong's eyes became brighter and brighter, they nodded frequently, and then each fell into deep thought. What Jia Lan proposed was too broad and needed to be considered carefully.
"Young Master..."
Qingwen boiled the water again, tested the temperature, and brought a cup to Jia Lan: "It's late at night, so I won't drink tea anymore."
At this time, her extremely beautiful eyes were full of tenderness like water.
The more they get in touch with him, the more Qingwen feels that a person like Jia Lan is a true husband in the world. Every time she listens to his eloquent speeches and pointers, Qingwen unconsciously gets immersed in it and becomes mesmerized. After following Jialan on this trip, she consciously discovered a new world, beautiful, ugly, good, and evil. Qingwen felt that her vision was very different from before!
Jia Lan drank water, but Qingwen was daydreaming.
She didn't know it at this time, but she had become a witness to an important piece of history.
"The Eight Strategies of Yi Zhong", which has influenced the world for hundreds of years, was born with only three listeners
"Third brother..." After thinking about it over and over, Liang Yong seemed to have figured something out, and looked at Jia Lan solemnly: "What you want to do is not just what I just mentioned, right?"
Jia Lan smiled and looked at Liang Yong with some admiration in his eyes.
