Chapter 25 Qiu Jun's Practical Thoughts

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the manuscript in his hand, this book has millions of words, all of which were respectfully copied in the pavilion style.

These handwritings alone. There is an aesthetic enjoyment.

What's more important is what's in it.

A large part of them, Zhu Qizhen did not take a closer look.

None of them. Qiu Jun's political thought is more based on practical learning, that is, applying what he has learned. There is no original idea of Confucianism. And in this "University Derivation Supplement", all kinds of previous dynasties in each aspect are listed and analyzed one by one. Then at the end, write out his thoughts and use the press to present your own ideas.

Just by looking at a book, you can grasp the previous stories one by one.

On many issues of etiquette, he also quoted the views of the great Confucians of the past generations.

You can see the hard work.

You know, these contents, not the Internet. Each paragraph has a source, and each chapter corresponds to Qiu Jun's internal problems of the Ming Dynasty.

The solution of every problem is not a simple matter.

Even if you don't talk about it, the mental effort behind it. Millions of words are written in small letters, and even drafts and so on. It's all a lot of work for a person to write off their hands.

Not to mention, there's a lot of insight in it.

The "University Yanyi Supplement" can be generally divided into: the imperial court, the hundred officials, the system of the state, the solid state, the Ming rites, the rank sacrifice, and the worship of education. Prepare regulations, be cautious of criminal constitution, be strict with military equipment, and control Yidi. and so on.

What Zhu Qizhen is most concerned about is that the content of the system for the country, the consolidation of the state, the worship of education, and the preparation of regulations, and the rest of the other methods are not unimportant, but now they are not the focus of Zhu Qizhen's attention.

Ritual music sacrifices, important or not.

Of course, it is important, this is the core value of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if future generations hear that their ancestral graves have been dug up, they will not be happy, and in this era, this is a great revenge that will never die. Therefore, as the emperor's ritual and music sacrifice, it is the responsibility that Zhu Qizhen has to fulfill.

But Zhu Qizhen is not interested in these details, during the sacrifice, whether to use too much prison or less prison, anyway, the minister said in advance how to do it, Zhu Qizhen just followed it.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen pays more attention to specific policy directions.

In the system of the country, Qiu Jun spoke highly of Zhou Chen's financial reform.

It can be said that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to chase the thorns in the north and destroy Annan in the south is that after the military reform of the Ming Dynasty, from the soldiers to the generals have a new feeling, but the most fundamental thing is that the court has money.

There is a financial income far beyond that of Yongle Hongxuan, so many great things can be done.

However, Qiu Jun still proposed a three-tier monetary system of gold, silver and copper.

The reason is very simple, that is, Zhou Chen will take the Ming currency from the treasure banknote

Replaced with silver taels. But it was not done in one step, and it was exchanged for silver coins, although every year the imperial court minted a batch of silver coins. However, the overall circulation of silver coins is still very small.

Zhou Chen's inactivity in this matter is actually the reason for his administrative ability. After all, Zhou Chen had just invalidated the treasure banknote and replaced the treasure banknote with silver tael, which was a big deal.

Replacing silver taels with silver coins is too urgent, and the people are afraid that they will be at a loss, and secondly, it will have an impact on many vested interest groups, especially in terms of fire consumption.

In addition, Zhou Chen did a lot of things at that time, and this matter was delayed.

Today, however, the situation is very different.

Moreover, the side effects of silver on government taxation and private trade are also increasing day by day.

Not to mention, the fire consumption when paying taxes is not too suitable for weekday transactions alone.

Silver is calculated by weight, so every household must have a large pair of scissors, not for anything else, but for cutting gold and silver.

As for the casting specifications of the silver two, they are all different, just like in today's gold shops, there are thousands of gold, this gold, that gold, in ancient times, it was Kuping silver, provincial silver, private silver and so on.

It's even harder to measure value.

This is already a major problem in the development of business.

In addition to this, there is also the idea of abolition.

He vigorously supported the replacement of water transportation by sea, listed the side effects of various water transportation, and put forward the idea of abolishing the canal.

Truth be told, this proposition. Zhu Qizhen was also frightened.

Although the canal has problems of one kind or another, there are also problems of sea transportation. Of course, Zhu Qizhen has always been looking for ways to reduce the share of canal transportation. But there is no idea of abolishing Caoyun.

There are also some ideas for revitalizing water conservancy and building Chi Road.

If these policies are still an extension of the reform measures before the Ming Dynasty. It is a continuation of Zhouchen's fiscal reform. It is a summary of some of Zhu Qizhen's policies.

Then some of the following policies are the embodiment of Qiu Jun's ideas.

Advocate limiting the field with Ding.

Limiting land means limiting the upper limit of land owned by each household.

It is also an idea to combat land annexation.

It's just that in Zhu Qizhen's view, it's not very realistic.

Don't look at Zhu Qizhen's current authority, no less than Emperor Taizong, but if he really wants to do this thing, he has to make some trouble.

With Ding, this is to take the Ding tax and collect it together with the field tax.

In later generations, the so-called paving into acres probably extended from here. However, Qiu Jun's thinking is not so one-step, he is giving a certain quota for each acre of land.

During the period of servitude, one ding is produced for every 100 acres, and if there is less than 100 acres, there is no ding, and if there is more land, there must be more ding.

It is also a suppression of land annexation.

In addition, what made Zhu Qizhen very happy was Qiu

In the article, Jun affirmed the Yizhou model, and even had the intention of vigorously developing this model.

In the case of Zhu Qizhen, Qiu Jun's words can even be summed up as using the Chinese sword to seize the land under the sun for China's plow.

This is also determined by the reality that there are many people in Fujian and there is little land.

Fujian, Jiangxi, and some places in Zhejiang are the places with the highest concentration of Chinese population, and the contradictions between people and land in these places are already very acute.

Daming is too big, and the situation is different in different places.

Generally speaking, the situation of the entire north is much better than that in the south, because the north is the main battlefield of the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

This led to the great migration during the Hongwu period.

This time the immigrants are still circulating among the people even in modern times, which is the so-called big locust tree immigrants.

In addition, the battle of Jingyan, the main battlefield is also in the north, which has brought a great negative effect on the population development of the north, that is, the population in the north, many times Zhu Qizhen wants to move people to the northeast, but there are not many.

But the south, especially the provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangxi and Fujian, is a pressure cooker.

Zhu Qizhen has a deep understanding of this point, and he has a feeling in his heart. The preliminary preparations for the development of Nanyang are almost over. Perhaps in the next few years, we will be able to send troops to the South Seas.

Conquering Nanyang by force, with the current ability of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be impossible, but if the management of Nanyang cannot become the mainstream consensus of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen will send troops to Nanyang, not only will it be regarded as: "Emperor Wu has no intention of opening the border." "It's more likely that people will die in government.

It seems to be the policy of Emperor Taizong to go to the West.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen saw the dawn of victory, and he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, all the initial changes are changes in thinking. ”

He just felt that everything was straightened out at the moment.

And this time, the meeting that summoned the great Confucians of the world must not make a mistake, and no matter what, some of Zhu Qizhen's ideas must be established as the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that as the world's scholars and Confucians have entered Beijing, Zhu Qizhen has become more and more unconfident in his heart.

After all, the battle of words and words is more dangerous than the fight of real swords and guns, and Zhu Qizhen can't help much? Even the more involved he is, the more unfavorable the situation becomes.

This feeling of powerlessness made him feel anxious.

But what Zhu Qizhen thought in his heart was not known to others, he approved a paragraph about Nanyang with cinnabar, and said to Huaien: "Order someone to copy this set of books and send it to the prince." ”

Wynne immediately said, "Yes." ”

The crown prince was supposed to go to Annam after the beginning of spring.

But this time the meeting in Beijing is related to the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and compared to the importance here, Annan is far behind. Zhu Qizhen simply asked the prince to participate in the preparation of this meeting.
