After all the candidates left, Xie Zhi got up and walked out of the Wenhua Palace.

Just came out of the hall, Xiao Jing stopped him with a smile on his face, and said, "Xie Huiyuan, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Warm Pavilion." ”

After sitting on that hard chair for a day, Xie Zhi's back hurts very much, isn't Emperor Hongzhi tired?

Wouldn't it be nice to take a break? What did you call him to do?

Naturally, even if Xie Zhi was reluctant in his heart, he had to respond, pulled a smile, and replied: "Okay, I'll go right away, if Father-in-law Xiao has something, he'll be busy, and he will know the way." ”

Xiao Jing had a smile on his face, and replied: "We really have something to do, Xie Huiyuan go over by himself, hurry up for some time, don't let Your Majesty stay longer." ”

Xie Zhi was not the slightest impatient with Xiao Jing's advice, and replied with a smile: "Well, I know." ”

The heavily guarded palace has many rules, and Xie Zhi can't find anything to delay time.

From the Wenhua Palace, go directly to the warm pavilion next to the Fengtian Palace.

Entering the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi was already dressed in civilian clothes and was drinking water from a teacup.

After thanking him and saluting, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Sit down." ”

Xie Zhi did not sit down according to Emperor Hongzhi's words this time, and refused: "The grass people have been sitting for a day, and their backs are very sore, so let's stand up, I don't know what Your Majesty will tell you to find the grass people?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi would not force Xie Zhi to sit down, Xie Zhi did not sit down, and Emperor Hongzhi did not say more, and continued: "I want to hear you talk about the strategy about you today. ”

It turns out that this is the case, what should Xie Zhi be?

Now that the results of the palace examination have not been announced, are you in such a hurry to solve this problem? He can't run again, and there are not many opportunities in the future.

Xie Zhi complained in his heart, but he could only greet Emperor Hongzhi with a smile, and replied with a smile: "Obey the order, since Your Majesty let the grass people talk, then the grass people will dare to say it, if there is something wrong, I hope Your Majesty is not guilty." ”

Xie Zhi laid so many foundations just to let Emperor Hongzhi say a word of guarantee.

Emperor Hongzhi also understood, and said directly: "How can I have a problem with you, a hairy boy, I called you over in private, that is, to listen to your truth, you just have to rest assured and boldly say that I forgive you for your innocence." ”

With the guarantee of Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Zhizi was relieved and bold, and replied: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has passed a hundred years, the disadvantages of land annexation shared by all dynasties have begun to be significantly revealed, at the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were only a few privileged lords and nobles, and after a hundred years of development, the lords and nobles have been increasing, and these people are constantly eating away at the taxes of the imperial court, which is the dilemma that all dynasties will inevitably face." ”

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything, Xie Zhi only continued: "Now most of the fertile land in the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the royal family and nobles, and the treasury can collect very little, and the court has no money, how can the people be rich?" ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi let him say, Xie Zhi is not welcome, these problems, those people in the court may not be able to see them, but no one is willing to export.

"The operation of the imperial court requires silver, which can only be expropriated from other ordinary people who own land, and the royal nobles have occupied most of the fertile land, and the imperial court can only collect more from the rest of the people.

The land rent of the royal family and nobles will never be as ordered to collect only three grains of silver, and after planting for a few years, in addition to the whole family's stomach is not full, the field rent owed is also more and more, there is no way, but can only leave the hometown, act as a homeless person, has done a living, a few years, the court can collect less and less taxes, but the homeless people are more and more.

This is one of them, the other situation is that the military tun created by Emperor Taizu Gao was also destroyed, Taizu's original intention was to raise the army with the army and reduce the pressure on the imperial court, but now, the land of the military tun is also occupied by the royal family, not only that, the original soldiers have also become free labor, unbearable soldiers, there are probably a lot of people who have fled, the army is the national strength of the imperial court, so corrupt, since the soldiers' combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. ”

Daming belongs to the Zhu family, and Emperor Hongzhi, as the head of the family, was very uncomfortable when he heard these shortcomings of Xie Zhi, and his face was extremely bad.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi is not necessarily unclear about these shortcomings, but he is just suffering from a good solution that has not been solved.

Emperor Hongji asked, "How did you know this?" ”

Nima, it seems like a lot to be so detailed.

The previous original owner was a gentleman, and he didn't worry about these things at all, but after Xie Zhi came, he followed Zhu Houzhao to study in the East Palace all day long, and it was really difficult to know these things.

After a while, Xie Zhi said: "Reading can indeed know etiquette, grass people used to like to wander around the market, and those who read will also figure out these problems." ”

This excuse is a bit clumsy.

Clumsy is clumsy, and too perfect excuses are more likely to arouse suspicion.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't question it, and asked again: "What does this have to do with your strategy?" ”

Xie Zhi was much more relaxed now, and said: "The roots of the royal family and nobles are very intertwined inside and outside the court, once their cake is moved... Pie... It will inevitably affect the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty today, Your Majesty's efforts to lay the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is really not easy, if this makes the Ming Dynasty hurt the muscles and bones, it is really worth the loss, besides, even so it may not be able to have an effect. ”

The road to changing the law, Xie Zhi will not do it.

In the past dynasties, those who changed the law were really effective in the eyes of later generations, but how many of those who participated in the change had a good end?

Xie Zhi came through the time, how could he use the worst method if he was also in control of the prophet?

After thanking him for these words, Emperor Hongzhi nodded and replied, "I understand your statement that one county is rich and one country is rich. ”

Emperor Hongzhi understood, Xie Zhi was also much more relaxed, and continued: "To govern a county, to let the people of this county be able to guard the countryside and live with peace of mind, to let the people of this county fill their stomachs, and there can also be other silver money to pay taxes for the imperial court, starting with a county, it will gradually spread to other counties like a snowball, after all, the fiefs of the feudal kings and royal families are all at the government level, and it is much easier to do something from the county." ”

Having said so much, Xie Zhi can be regarded as making it clear what cannot be explained above the policy.

After a pause, Xie Zhi said: "Your Majesty, after the palace test, the grass people are willing to go to Fuyi County with practical actions first, and ask Your Majesty for approval." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's wrinkled brows finally eased a little, and he pulled up a faint smile and asked: "You are now Lianzhong Liangyuan, if you are the champion, then it is Lianzhong Sanyuan, Lianzhong Sanyuan's Jinshi governs a small county, it is too condescending, right?" ”

Jinshi was appointed as the governor of the county, and they were all people at the bottom of the ranking.

If Xie Zhi can be at the top in the palace examination and only go to be a small county order, it is indeed a bit too condescending.

After ridiculing Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Zhi threw out another bombshell, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Wang Shouren has decided that after the palace tries, he will be the deputy of the grass people, and go to govern a county with the grass people, not only that, Tang Yin and Xu Jing also agreed that although the grass people are together, since it has been said, the grass people implore Your Majesty to transfer Tang Yin and Xu Jing to the grass people." ”

Xie Zhi's news made Emperor Hongzhi even more surprised, and asked, "Tang Yin and Xu Jing are also rebellious people, right?" How could you agree to be your subordinate when you were on the same field, didn't you use threats against it? ”

Now that his image has almost been reversed, how can Emperor Hongzhi be so suspicious of him?

Is this still a good place to play?

Xie Zhi pulled up an innocent smile and said, "Is the grass people that kind of person?" The grass people have always persuaded people with reason, and the grass people introduced the strategies written on paper to Tang Yin and Xu Jing, and they agreed, which shows that Tang Yin and Xu Jing are also people who have the world in mind. ”

After thanking him for this joke with a hippie smile, Emperor Hongzhi did not agree positively, but said: "Well, okay, I know, you go back, you still have to supervise the prince." ”

After staying in the Wenhua Hall for a whole day, he wanted to go back early, but Emperor Hongzhi finally relented, and Xie Zhi immediately surrendered, and then retreated.

The fast man was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would stop him and ask another question.
