Song Yichen returned to modern times, of course he would not go out to buy books for them to read, he was still unfamiliar with life in Yanjing! He did not have a computer or a printer, but the computer in the study did have a printer, but he did not plan to go out, he wanted Aunt Su to see it! I had to take out the love pie, and even swiped the Internet to inquire about the world history of the revolution, as well as the modern history of Huaxia, there was no Internet over there, Song Yichen took screenshots of all these materials. I checked the information about firearms again, and most of the high-level information was dropped by the river crab, but what can be found on the Internet is enough for Chongzhen to use, and the technology is too much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, and when he was ready, Song Yichen returned to the world of the Blue Blood Sword.
In Chongzhen's study, everyone was still waiting, Song Yichen didn't let them leave before leaving, and he didn't say how long he would come back, so it was not easy for them to leave, whether it was Chongzhen or Yuan Chengzhi, they wanted to see what Song Yichen would bring. Although Yuan Chengzhi and Chongzhen did not say anything, Yuan Chengzhi's mentality has slowly changed, he hates Chongzhen, that is because Chongzhen killed his father. But his father should not have hated Chongzhen before he died, right? Moreover, listening to Chongzhen's previous tone, it can also be heard that as long as the country settles down a little, he is willing to rehabilitate his father! Between the revenge of killing his father and rehabilitation, he chose to rehabilitate himself very decisively! This is to correct his father's name! Moreover, although Chongzhen is a little stubborn and suspicious, it is undeniable that he is a good emperor, and you can see how hard he has worked when he is only in his thirties and his temples are white.
Chongzhen didn't pay attention to the presence of other people, and directly pulled Ah Jiu to ask about Song Yichen, and when he learned that Song Yichen was able to travel back and forth between multiple worlds, his heart was also much calmer.
"You're all here~" Song Yichen's sudden appearance did not surprise everyone, he could disappear in front of everyone, or he could appear in front of everyone!" Song Yichen took out the love pie and gestured.
"What a beautiful thing, is this a treasure of the Immortal Family?" Ah Jiu asked when he saw the love pie in Song Yichen's hand. It is undeniable that the products produced by Apple are quite good in appearance.
"No, this thing is still very common in 400 years, and it is not very expensive, even ordinary people can afford it, we can use it to learn things online, and we can also use it for entertainment. Song Yichen said and opened the TV series that Aipai had downloaded earlier.
Ah Jiu Chongzhen and Yuan Chengzhi were shocked: "How did this person fit in." Chongzhen asked stumblingly.
"It's called a TV series, we watch this when we're bored, this is the power of technology, it's just something that makes us interesting" In front of the three hillbillies, Song Yichen opened the previous screenshot of the information, and began to give the three of them a lesson on history and politics, of course, the most important thing is to talk about modern Chinese history and the British bourgeois revolution. Song Yichen did this to let them understand that the progress of history is unstoppable, feudalism will eventually be eliminated, and the British revolution was chosen because the British Empire still has the existence of the royal family.
"Shame! It's really a shame!" When Chongzhen saw that the Qing Dynasty had signed treaties that humiliated the country again and again, and became a lackey of foreigners, he was so angry! The Ming Dynasty was a typical dynasty in which kings died and died in society, and throughout Chinese history, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the most temperamental, and if the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty fell out of position and changed the time, I believe that they would not compromise!
"Damn!" Yuan Chengzhi was also angry, he was originally a gentle gentleman, he regretted a little, regretted that he didn't kill a few more people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"I didn't expect the power of merchants and workers to be so strong!" Chongzhen sighed when he heard about several revolutions.
"China pays attention to the agriculture and industry, in fact, there is no longer the existence of the scholar clan in the future, China's biggest cancer is also the scholar clan, they have knowledge, but exploit the people, even the resources in the hands of your royal family are not comparable to theirs, in later generations there will be no concept of the scholar clan, feudalism was overthrown, the land has also been reformed, the common people also have knowledge, they have disappeared in history, hehe, both men and women in later generations are required to go to nine years of compulsory education, money is also allocated by the state, basically everyone can readใ Song Yichen explained that he really didn't have a good impression of the scholars!
"What kind of country is that?" At this time, Yuan Chengzhi was also full of yearning for such a country.
"If you do this, the financial expenditure is too large, and it is not enough to rely on taxes" Chongzhen is the emperor, and he is a hands-on emperor, and the difficulty of this cannot be hidden from his eyes.
"Yes, but later generations have abolished agricultural taxes, and rely on various taxes such as commercial taxes and personal income taxes to obtain income, and the state also has its own companies and industries, and can make a lot of money. These words made Chongzhen gasp even more, what is the agricultural tax? The main income of the state! The agricultural tax has been abolished, so how powerful is such a country.
"It's a pity, even if I start to work hard to reform now, I'm afraid I won't be able to see that the Ming Dynasty has the ability to make fun of the agricultural tax in my lifetime!" Chongzhen sighed, and he also regretted that who doesn't want his country to be strong? Although Song Yichen's words were contrary to common sense, he felt that it was quite reasonable, and he was also convinced that Song Yichen came from four hundred years later, and if it was possible in history, why couldn't he do it? In this way, he could also protect the Zhu family.
"Are you willing to give up your rights?" Yuan Chengzhi saw suspiciously.
"According to Song Xiaozi, this is a win-win situation for both the royal family and the people, but it is difficult to carry out reforms, even in a peaceful and prosperous era, not to mention now, the authority of the royal family has also dropped a lot, even if I give an order, it is difficult to do. Chongzhen sighed.
Yuan Chengzhi compared Chongzhen and Li Zicheng at this time, and he suddenly found that he didn't hate Chongzhen anymore, and felt that the other party was a good emperor with foresight, and he was also impressed by the other party's courage.
After all, there are many more people in the Ming Dynasty than in the previous dynasties, with a population of nearly 10,000,000, and then it is nothing compared to the population of 130,000,000 in later generations, but the land yield is not comparable with that of later generations, as long as it is difficult to withdraw, and then take Jiangnan as a stronghold, slowly reform, improve the status of merchants and craftsmen, and produce heavy codes in troubled times, it is still okay. Song Yichen reminded.
