Looking at Zou Yuanbiao, Zhu Youxiao was helpless. The man in front of me is a Mr. Science.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if Zou Yuanbiao did it on purpose, or if he really thought so, but Zhu Youxiao felt that the latter possibility was really big.

It is impossible to understand Zou Yuanbiao with his own brain circuits, or to understand the brain circuits of these people.

When Zou Yuanbiao's mouth was dry, Zhu Youxiao beckoned to Chen Hong and said, "Go, bring Zou Aiqing a cup of tea." ”

Zou Yuanbiao hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Watching Zou Yuanbiao drink water, Zhu Youxiao said: "Aiqing, since Aiqing is in favor of the new policy, I also have some ideas. ”

Zou Yuanbiao was stunned, but at this time he couldn't say, "I don't listen, I don't listen." Your Majesty has listened to you for a long time, and you don't listen to Your Majesty? Do you still want to get mixed up?

Looking at Zou Yuanbiao, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Zou Aiqing, today's framing of Xiong Tingbi made it difficult for me to sleep and eat, this is the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the official of the Daoist Language, and the eyes and ears of the emperor, they actually accepted bribes to frame the minister, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still like this, what about the other yamen?" What about the magistrates everywhere? ”

Zhu Youxiao sighed when he said this, and then coughed violently, and waited until Chen Hong handed over the silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, he was better.

"Zou Aiqing, since you want to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng and also respect Zhang Juzheng's new law, do I think you can take some of Zhang Juzheng's new law and implement it first? For example, the test method? ”

The so-called examination method is actually a tight spell on the heads of officials, and it is a kind of official evaluation system established by Zhang Juzheng in the course of reform, with the purpose of paying attention to the actual results of the appraisal work and improving efficiency.

The policy of administration is to "respect the sovereignty, impose duties on officials, and enforce rewards and punishments, and Order No. 1", abolish redundant officials and redundant personnel in government agencies, and rectify postal and public administration.

It is not only necessary to conduct regular inspections of officials at all levels, but also to set a time limit for all the things they do, and to implement the important characteristics of the "examination method," that is, the so-called "setting limits for examination matters" and "taking responsibility for things."

In later generations, the assessment of officials and personnel had the shadow of the examination method. In a word, the responsibility is assigned to the person, it is completed within a time limit, and if it cannot be completed, it will be disposed of, punished, and expelled, and the court will not want mediocre officials and lazy officials, and all redundant officials and inaction will all be deposed and will never be used.

In the few years that Zhang Juzheng was in power, as many as 30 percent of the officials who were dismissed by the law were examined. These ousted officials formed a group against Zhang Juzheng, and a large number of them were mixed up in the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youxiao's words are a trap.

Zou Yuanbiao talked about the new policy and said a lot, but Zhu Youxiao proposed the test method that the Donglin Party did not want.

In later generations, many people said that the Donglin Party rehabilitated Zhang Juzheng, but in fact, it was also given a name, since Zhang Juzheng was admired, why not re-implement his reforms?

For example, the examination method, such as Zhang Juzheng's tax system?

Obviously, these are all things that the Donglin Party is unwilling to want.

Now Zhu Youxiao doesn't care whether the Donglin Party wants it or not, this is what he wants.

In a word, I don't want you to think, I want me to feel.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, the essence of Zhang Juzheng's reform is the examination method. Once the examination is completed, then the rule of officials will inevitably improve greatly.

As for Zhang Juzheng's most proud whip method, Zhu Youxiao is not optimistic about it at all.

A whip law bypasses the essence of the problem, that is, what about the officials and gentry who pay for food in one and find out the land in the world? Won't it be the same in a few years?

Moreover, a whip law increased the burden on the yeoman peasants, because taxes were money, and grain could not be turned into money by itself. The gentry colluded with the local government to suppress the price of grain during the tax season, making the grain worthless, and the common people had to sell grain at a low price if they wanted to pay taxes with silver.

When the harvest was scarce, the gentry and officials raised the price of grain, so that the people could not afford to buy grain, so they could only sell their land and sell themselves.

It can be said that a whip law is a compromise law. It is precisely because of its compromise that the burden on the people of the Ming Dynasty has increased a lot, making it from a law for the people to a law for the people.

If the new policy of the Ming Dynasty is not abolished, the Wanli period will be full of beacons, and the people who can't survive will directly revolt and rebel, and a whip law is just to drink to quench their thirst.

As for the solution, it is actually very simple, and the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in later generations has already given it.

The Qing Dynasty inherited the system of the Ming Dynasty, and in the last years of Kangxi, the old view of the Ming Dynasty was basically reproduced. Tax revenues have not come up, and land annexation in various places is serious.

In such a situation, Emperor Yongzheng directly put it in place in one step and spread it into the mu.

There is no tax exemption, it doesn't matter if you are the landlord, it doesn't matter if your family has tens of thousands of acres of land, how much land you have, how much tax you pay; If you don't have land, you don't have to pay taxes.

Of course, there are drawbacks to this, because the landlords will always rent their children, and the pressure on the tenants will make their lives even more miserable.

There is also a solution, develop industry and commerce, and let the people untie themselves from the land.

To work, to do business, to become a soldier, to colonize, anyway, it is not a tenant, and the people have other ways to live, so naturally they are not tenants.

Zhu Youxiao wants to do this, but there must be a premise for all this, that is, the rule of officials. But with the current rule of officials, no policy is useless.

So Zhu Youxiao went directly to the entrance examination, and it happened that Zou Yuanbiao bumped into it, so let's do it!

Zou Yuanbiao was stunned when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, did he pass the test?

For a moment, Zou Yuanbiao denied this idea in his heart.

How can you use the test method?

"Your Majesty, the examination law is too strict, and everything is regulated, which is a distrust of the courtiers!" Zou Yuanbiao directly retorted: "Your Majesty's courtiers are all people who read the books of sages, and the behavior of a gentleman lies in righteousness, the way of being a king, and benevolence. Trust the courtiers, and don't do it like passing the law, which will make the courtiers and the king deviate from morality! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zou Yuanbiao and counted it in his heart.

This is a defender of science, who governs the world not by law, but by the way of a gentleman, the mainstream thought of this era?

Although I don't know if Zou Yuanbiao said it on purpose, or if he really thought so, it doesn't matter, this is his political attitude and political opinion.

In such a situation, Zhu Youxiao understood that this person could not be used.

Even if he has the integrity and backbone, and even dares to commit suicide in the face of the Tartars, he still can't use it. If you really listen to Zou Yuanbiao, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will perish faster.

Listening to Zou Yuanbiao saying that the emperor was setting an example, Zhu Youxiao shook his head.

I actually believe that as long as the king takes the lead in doing it, the following will be up and down. It's just a joke, if you pay taxes on the Huangzhuang yourself, these people will follow?

It's impossible at all, what emperor sets an example, that's what you came up to make the emperor obedient.
