Chapter 420 Land Swap
In the seventh year of Jiajing, a beautiful season with a sassy autumn breeze.
The cold wind blows in the north, within the Great Wall, the wheat waves are ripe, the full ears of wheat hang down heavily, and the farmers look at it with joy, and from time to time they breathe hard the sweetness in the air, as if they can smell the aroma of steamed buns.
Relaxed, happy and satisfied...... It's been a long time, and finally don't worry, there will be Tartars to fight the grass valley.
These are all for everyone!
And Uncle Fu Yuan brought much more than that.
The land was cleared again, all military households were given equal fertile land, and the military non-commissioned officers and soldiers were cleared, and those military households who were too old or young to undertake military service were decisively sent back to their hometowns, and land was granted according to the capitation, so that everyone could cultivate with peace of mind.
As for those messy forced labor, they are also reduced as much as possible.
Jizhen, Xuanfu, and even Liaodong, these former giant towns, have burst into new vitality at this moment. Without military pressure, the people became extra hard, cultivating land and growing food.
Many people do not even want to go back to their homes ten miles away, and spend all their time in the fields, from planting to harvesting, and sleeping in the fields whenever they are busy.
I have not seen these peasants, and I have no idea how hard a person can be and how he can not treat himself as a human being!
According to estimates, this year's grain self-sufficiency rate in the north can reach 70 percent, and Jizhen and Xuanfu, which have always needed foreign grain supplements, can actually provide 20 percent of the food to the north in addition to supplying the local area.
In other words, the northern border only needs to transfer hundreds of thousands of stones from the outside, which is enough to support.
Obviously, these are all Wang Yue's political achievements, and they are the kind that can be used in a grand manner.
Taxes skyrocketed, pacified the northern border, subdued the Mongol tribes, trained and strengthened the army, commerce and trade prospered, and the people were abundant...... Zhang Fujing put his hands behind his back and talked eloquently in the cabinet, and opposite him was the six ministries and nine secretaries, a group of ministers.
This is the latest power that Zhu Houxi has delegated to the cabinet.
For important state affairs, the cabinet can convene a meeting of ministers and ministers in advance, come up with a conclusion, and then submit it to the Son of Heaven, and if the disagreement is serious, the emperor himself will convene a meeting of the emperor to negotiate.
If you think that this is Zhu Houxi's delegation of power, it is a big mistake, and it is inevitable for courtiers to communicate with each other in private.
Instead of giving and receiving privately, it is better to put it on the table, and Zhu Houxi put forward a request, the cabinet meeting must be recorded by the celebrant and supervisor, and whoever says what must be truthfully played by the Son of Heaven!
I don't want to see it, but don't try to hide it from me!
Zhu Houxi is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the pressure on the ministers is increasing.
"Princes, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said that since Jizhen and Xuanfu and other places cleared the acres of fields, regardless of the old and the young, even the women have personally gone to the fields to cultivate, and more than one million acres of wasteland have been reclaimed. Most of the abandoned Shangtun in the past has been restored, and there are even military households who fled to the capital to return to the nine sides and cultivate acres of land......"
Zhang Fu talked eloquently, his voice getting higher and higher, and his spirit became more and more excited.
"Shuntianfu, Jizhen, Xuanfu...... The results of Qingzhang in various places have been placed in front of you, and I don't think anyone will wonder about the effect of Qingzhang Tianmu, right? ”
Jia Yong hugged his knees and teased, "The effect is there, but dare to do it!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xi Shu.
This Tobe Shangshu suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"Zhang Ge Lao, Jia Ge Lao, now Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and even Jinan Mansion have begun to clear Zhang, especially Dengzhou and other places, are still brewing to open the sea and give the people more ways to live, these people know everything!"
Zhang Fujing snorted coldly: "Xi Shangshu, why did you leave Yanzhou Mansion alone, why?" ”
Xi Shu rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Everyone knows something, why should the elder be aggressive?" ”
Zhang Fujing snorted coldly, "This Yan Holy Father is really bigger than the emperor!" ”
It's that sentence again!
Everyone present couldn't help but think of Zhu Houxi's furious questioning, who is the biggest in the world!
Although Zhu Houxi did not say that he was the biggest in the world, but putting the Confucian family Taoism on the table and opposing the national policy would be a big taboo, and even a big rebellion.
"Elder Zhang Ge, the household department doesn't mean this, and he won't do it...... But we must also pay attention to methods in everything, and we can't blindly do it. Let's clear other states and counties first, the general trend is the same, and the Kong family will naturally understand. ”
"If they're stubborn?" Zhang Fujing asked mercilessly.
"Elder Zhang Ge, we have entrusted the virtuous Hongru to the officials to reason with the Confucian family and explain the benefits and disadvantages clearly, and they will be reasonable."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Fujing reprimanded angrily: "Xi Shangshu, the old man got the news, how come it is a group of powerful officials who have lost their land, gathered in Qufu, and the number is hundreds. They wept and cried all day long, coercing the Holy Father, saying that they were going to fight to the death against the national policy! Is that how you persuaded you? ”
At this moment, Zi Xishu also stood up and shook his head resolutely, "Elder Zhang Ge, you are slandering the innocence of the lower officials, and I will make it clear to Your Majesty." He snorted angrily again: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qingzhang ordered, there are not a few people in various places who fight against Qingzhang. The household department thinks that it is possible to exclude some situations, so as not to affect the Qingzhang too much. ”
"What?"
Zhang Fujing was furious, "Xi Shu! You won't not understand the truth of falling short, if someone makes an exception, Qingzhang will inevitably fail! ”
"Not really!" Xi Shu said: "The emperors of all over the country, the clan vassal kings, and the Yan Shenggong, as long as these people are excluded, it's okay!" ”
"Ridiculous!" Zhang Fujing was simply angry, he kept speaking out, and with the help of the master, he was able to promote further purification, but when he really did it, he kept popping up moths and constantly hindering him, which was simply hateful.
Let go of the Huangzhuang clan, this is absolutely not okay.
If there are exceptions, they will not be able to convince the public, and you must know that the implementation of government decrees also requires people, and you must not give them a chance to get lucky, otherwise it will be like a loophole in a fishing net, and the last fish will not be caught.
Taking Zhang Juzheng's whip method as an example, he almost completed more than ninety percent of the Qingzhang tasks, but like the giant room in Jiangnan, the Confucian family in Shandong, the Dajue in the inner court, and some clan vassal kings, and even some Jin merchants, they were not touched, and the result was that after his death, these forces quickly gathered together to fight back against the results of the law change.
It is not difficult to understand the death of people.
On this issue, Zhang Fujing saw it more clearly, from a certain point of view, whether it was Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, the person they wanted to learn was just Zhang Fujing.
The first assistant since Jiajing, with Zhang Fujing as the first!
"The Kong family is no exception, and the clan vassal kings are no exception. It is imperative to clear the acres of fields. If the household department feels difficult, the old man can only mobilize the Jinyi Guard, go to Qufu, and thoroughly investigate the Kong family! ”
"Elder Zhang Ge!" Xia Yan actually stood up, his face was full of panic and anger, "The cavalry is raging and trampling on the land of the saints, we people will be poked in the backbone!" ”
Zhang Fujing sneered: "I'm ready to crush the bones and scatter ashes, if Jinyiwei can't do it, ask Dongchang to take action, if the text can't work, I'll come to Wu!" Zhang has long put life and death outside the degree! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you feel ashamed when you look at the taxes in the north? The huge imperial court, two capitals and thirteen provinces, hundreds of millions of people, when it comes to taxes, compared to a desolate northern border, not much more! How much wealth has been embezzled is shocking! If you don't change it, I'm afraid that the country will die one day! ”
……
"It's another quarrel, every day! Don't show me these bad things in the future, and don't waste pen and ink, it's hard to wipe your ass! ”
Zhu Houxi squatted on the toilet and complained unceremoniously, the minutes of the cabinet meeting are only worthy of being seen at this time, this is like fat intestines mixed with stinky tofu, fighting poison with poison, canceling each other, so as not to stink.
It's just that it doesn't seem to work today, after all, the matter of the Kong family is still too troublesome, and after arguing for so long, there is still no conclusion.
"Huang Jin, do you have an idea?"
Huang Jin is a little taller, but his face is still round, full of fat, which tightens his face and even squeezes the space of his eyeballs.
When he was so worried, his eyes couldn't see it anymore.
"Emperor, the slave and maid really have no idea, the adults have been arguing for months, and there is no result. But the slave maid thinks that Brother Fugui ...... Maybe you have an idea! He's going back to Beijing soon, or the slave maid will ask him and ask Brother Fugui to get an idea! ”
Zhu Houxi snorted: "What is his idea, it is I who is in charge of the Ming Dynasty!" After a pause, Zhu Houxi said: "It's okay for you to ask for me, don't care about the good or bad, just listen to it for fun!" ”
What kind of fun, it's clear that you are arrogant, and you don't want to admit that Brother Fugui is powerful, but it doesn't matter, it's enough to go and see Brother Fugui!
"Yes!"
Huang Jin shouted, turned around and ran.
The little guy was like a ball of meat, and quickly disappeared in front of Zhu Houxi...... Another person who was sold by Wang Yue, Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, and suddenly, he realized one thing!
"This damn slave, leave the silk behind, I'm still on the toilet!"
……
"Huang Jin, in fact, this thing is very easy to do. When Your Majesty went to Chengde, didn't you let Master Sun preside over the revision of the book and set rules for Daming! Isn't it reasonable to invite Yan Shenggong to participate in such a big matter? ”
Huang Jin blinked, "It seems to make sense!" But what if the Kong family doesn't do it? ”
"That's easier, anyway, there is land in the north, let's just replace it, anyway, they won't suffer!" Wang Yue smiled honestly.
