Chapter 48: The Theory of the State and the Dynasty
Zhu Zhi finally got his wish and left the Qianqing Palace, but when he left, his salary had been advanced to Jianwen for twenty years.
"It is estimated that these days, there will be no peace in the Liao Wangfu."
Sending away the grief-stricken Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di's uncle and nephew were left in the entire Qianqing Palace, and the latter poured two cups of tea and had fun. "My brother-in-law is afraid that she will have trouble with Brother Zhi for the first half of the day, haha. This game invented by His Majesty is really interesting, fighting the landlord, the name. ”
The emperor is determined to attack the privileges of the family, and even inventing a game has to fight the landlord. The name is really straightforward.
"Just his salary, it's not enough to stuff my teeth."
Zhu Zhi's 100,000 taels at first glance sounds like a lot of money, but in fact, it is enough for three battalions of 10,000 New Army to pay for a year, without changing clothes.
Who can compare with you, Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "In a few years, the annual salary of the clan will be canceled, and the King of Liao will repay the debt." ”
Zhu Yunwen was silent, Zhu Di knew about cutting the domain, but Zhu Di would not tell the other princes, because Zhu Di knew in his heart that even if those vassal kings knew, what could they do? Those vassal kings together can't shake Zhu Yunwen's throne, and they just add a little blockage to Zhu Yunwen, but if he Zhu Di dares to say it, his family's life will be gone.
"I'm still a little bit private here."
Zhu Yunwen drank tea, "When grandpa was alive, he cleaned up more than half of the officials in the world, although most of their land was distributed to the people, but the imperial property still has nearly one million mu, all of which are good paddy fields in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and I plan to sell them all." ”
The best paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River can be sold for 50 taels per mu, and 1 million mu is the national tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in the past two years.
"The land is sold, what will happen to the expenses in His Majesty's palace in the future?"
The treasury is said to be the private property of the emperor alone, but after all, the country is the country, the family is the family, the emperor's family in the palace expenses, purchases, this money has always been the treasury in the palace himself, the royal source of income, one is to confiscate the family, and the other is the annual output of the emperor's land.
"I said that one day in the future, the wealthy gentry will have to pay taxes."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, "In the same way, I also have to pay taxes on this million acres of imperial property, since I have started, every inch of land in the Ming Dynasty cannot have the privilege of not paying taxes, I am the emperor to pay taxes for myself, it is estimated that people in the world will not believe it, save snacks and sell it." ”
As the emperor's first to pay taxes, as soon as he heard this, Zhu Di's cheeks twitched, what kind of stuff did his nephew have in his head, Taizu finally laid down the country, why did Zhu Yunwen hold back and turn the world upside down?
"Do you know why I've been pulling you to play these days?"
Zhu Yunwen drew out the big and small kings in the card and handed the little king to Zhu Di, "Why does Uncle Liao keep losing, and our two keep winning?" ”
Zhu Di looked at the clown in his hand. "Because King Liao has always liked to be a landlord, he has a big appetite, and he wants to eat the two of us."
"Uncle Liao Wang has three more cards than us, just like the landlord has a few acres of land more than the poor, the landlord's appetite is big, and he always wants to eat the poor people's land, and the poor people will resist, and a family can't beat the landlord, and one more family is enough.
I am the biggest landlord in the world, if I don't kill myself, one day in the future, there will be people who will unite to fight against me, the landlord, I can defeat one or two, but I can't defeat the people of the world. ”
Zhu Yunwen smiled and pointed to the king in his hand, "I am like this king, it is the biggest in the card, and the clan is like a small king, except for the biggest, but the four small deflated three can unite together to ask for the life of me and the clan, only when the big and small kings are together, the heart is thinking in one place, and the strength is in one place to keep themselves, otherwise, it will be the same as the clown in this card, ridiculous." ”
Zhu Di was silent, Zhu Yunwen's words were vulgar and easy to understand, but he just couldn't understand why Zhu Yunwen had always had a sense of urgency that the disaster of the country was in front of him.
"Your Majesty, is it a little too sensitive in your heart?" Zhu Di arched his hand, "Since the ancient scholars did not pay food, did not serve, since the Han Dynasty, thousands of years like this, there is the rule of the sages Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, the abolition of this law, the family is centrifugal and scattered, no one is willing to be an official, how to rule the world." ”
"The rule of Wenjing? The rule of Zhenguan? Zhu Yunwen smiled disdainfully, "The Han Tang Dynasty that the fourth uncle said, is it still there today?" ”
The surname Zhu has been surnamed Zhu for thirty-two years, and the Han and Tang Empires, which were extremely powerful in the past, can only be hung between the lines of the history books.
"Since the Han Dynasty, the scholars have not paid food and not served, hasn't the fourth uncle found out, and because of this, the threat of foreign races to my Huaxia is getting bigger and bigger?"
Zhu Yunwen snapped his fingers, "Qin founded the country with strict torture, and no one can be greater than the national law, and the country died because of this." Since the Han Dynasty, every time there is a change of dynasty, it must have been the time when the country's national strength is exhausted.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, Xianbei and Wuhuan lived in Hetao and Beidi by stealing, the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and the five chaotic China, my Chinese people became two-legged sheep, and the tyranny and humiliation they suffered were all like knives and tears like rain.
It was easy to survive the unification of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the vitality gradually recovered, first there was the Huangchao rebellion, the division of the feudal towns, and then the rise of the Khitan, occupying the land of Hebei in China, and the party occupying the land in my northwest.
The Jurchen Jin people sent the shame of our nation Jingkang, the weak Song Dynasty favored the south of the Yangtze River, and still did not escape the trampling of the Mongols' iron hooves. The whole province of Sichuan was almost slaughtered, the land of Jiangbei, ten rooms and nine emptiness, the people of the nation, there is not one in a hundred!
Heaven will not destroy my nation, grandpa carries the mandate of heaven, the Northern Expedition to the Tartars, reorganizes the rivers and mountains, and restores my clothes. This is today, you and my uncle and nephew can live and talk in peace in this Qianqing Palace, the ancients lived in peace and prepared for danger, I will not change today, after I die in the future, I will see my descendants in the sky, and then be bullied by foreign races? ”
Zhu Di was stunned, and thought about it carefully, the successive dynasties are indeed the same as Zhu Yunwen said, since the Han Dynasty, when the dynasty changes, the country's national strength must be exhausted.
The evolution of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the change of dynasty is relatively stable, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty forced the world to rebel, not to force the people of the world, Li Tang Dynasty, the national strength was quickly restored, and there was a prosperous Tang Dynasty in the year of Zhenguan, unlike the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was disputed for decades, and nearly 60 million Han people waited until the Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty and only 9 million remained!
"Who will sit in this country, I don't care, as long as it is my Han family's sons and daughters."
Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently, "The dynasty can be replaced, but the country can't die!" I, the sons and daughters of China, can't be slaves to the country! ”
Without the family, the world will receive food as one, and the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty can last for at least a few hundred years, but there is a faint monarch in the middle, and the heavens are angry and resentful, which is nothing more than the revolted people, the mutinous soldiers who entered Nanjing to be the emperor, and the people on the chair in the Fengtian Temple are still Han people.
Rather with a house slave than a thief!
Zhu Yunwen asked the minister in Wenhuadian before, what is the national dynasty, this is what it means, the country is the country of China and the Han people in the world, and the dynasty is only the dynasty of Zhu Ming's family.
The country includes the DPRK, and the DPRK cannot represent the country. Zhu Yunwen asked this question, and the group of people smacked through the taste, and they still didn't understand Zhu Yunwen's mind.
"Your Majesty's mind, the world cannot be compared with the wide, the four seas cannot be filled, the minister, the heart is happy and convinced!"
"I can't come to this world in vain."
Zhu Yunwen said this, except for himself, no one understands, "I am also a layman, and I also want to be the king of peace for decades, choose a concubine in the world, indulge in sensuality, the joy of dogs and horses, I also yearn for it." However, there are many people suffering from the people, and Mongolia in northern Xinjiang is also eyeing the tiger, and if the people are not rich, the country is not strong, how can I level all the countries, the fourth uncle knows my heart today, and is willing to help me, and I thank the fourth uncle on behalf of the people of the world. ”
Seeing Zhu Yunwen get up and make a move, Zhu Di hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, "The minister's lifelong wish is that my Ming Dynasty will be Yongchang, the sun and the moon will be forever, and the Ming Dynasty will be forever!" ”
Zhu Yunwen helped him up, "I am not a cool and thin king, how can I ignore the feelings of blood and bones." I sell the imperial property, that is, to leave a way for the clan relatives, those who can govern, are all above the court, those who are good at spending, the imperial property is sold for silver, the imperial merchant can be set up, the holiday sea ban is reopened, there are many rich places overseas, I use financial resources, water master Sasuke, will get a very rich return, the clan relatives can keep seventy percent, from generation to generation, enough to extend the descendants. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen also mentioned Zhu Gaochi, "Gao Chi's younger brother, I grew up with me since I was a child, and my grandfather often taught national politics during his lifetime. ”
Zhu Di smiled, "The minister is willing to fight the landlord with Your Majesty today." ”
