Chapter 116: Deliberate

How to solve the problem of displaced people? There are so many people of insight in the court, none of them have a way, what can you do? As for the two methods proposed by Zhu Houzhao earlier, no one is optimistic. The benefits of immigration can be seen by everyone, but how to operate? As for the imperial court buying land, it will be even worse, how much damage will the gentry suffer?

Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone's demeanor, how could he not know what these people thought, but he also knew that this matter would be solved after all, and the courtiers could pretend not to see it, but he, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could not pretend not to see it, and it must be solved.

In fact, a big reason for this is land annexation, many people talk about land annexation, land is still those land, or can support those people, is it different to be a tenant?

He is different, first of all, the concentration of land will lead to large-scale cultivation, improve efficiency, reduce labor, and secondly, the landlord's oppression of tenants is very strong. You may farm your own land at sunset and rest at sunset, but farming for the landlord is not like this. Many people have heard the story of Zhou Papi, and many people just laugh it off.

It is ridiculed for Zhou Papi, but in this era, the fact is that people are not as good as animals, cattle are tired of working and have to rest, and horses are tired of being the best bean material.

People can't do it, people can't do it, if they die, then they will continue to be squeezed by another one, but the people can't help it, because if you want to live, you can only be squeezed, and if you don't do it, someone else will do it. This is like the 996 in later generations and the injustice in various workplaces, you have to live, you don't do what others do, and the people can't resist.

Zhu Houzhao knew this very well, and later governments would implement the eight-hour work week, implement double cultivation, and formulate labor laws, but this era did not have these.

Ordinary people want to sue, they can't resign if they want to, it's a big deal to change in the future, but how do you change in this era? You have no way out.

Without going to see those ministers again, Zhu Houzhao stood in place, bowed expressionlessly and said, "Father, emperor and sons are willing to rush to Jingxiang to solve the problem of displaced people." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao bowed deeper, expressing his very resolute attitude, in a word, if you don't do it, I will do it, this time Zhu Houzhao made a big decision.

The ministers looked at Zhu Houzhao's faces and changed, many people had pity in their eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was young and vigorous, this problem of displaced people was not only in the Ming Dynasty, this was a problem for the ages.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to solve it, how can it be so easy? Thinking of His Royal Highness the Prince's banging head and bleeding, everyone felt faintly happy in their hearts.

In the past few years, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been too out of the circle, and he doesn't listen to the advice of his own people, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down and touch it, and when the time comes, the head will break and bleed, then it will be good, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to his side. Thinking of himself and others educating the prince in a small way, and then the prince bowing down to be taught, everyone's hearts are going to bloom, and I am still looking forward to that day!

Zhu Youzhang's face also changed, he also knew that the problem was very serious, he scolded the minister on the one hand because of the minister's inaction, and on the other hand, because he had nothing to do.

Now that the prince is going to hit the south wall, Zhu Youzhu is looking forward to and relieved on the one hand, looking forward to his son being able to do something, after all, his son has created a lot of miracles over the years. It's easier to be gratified, the son is worthy of being the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he is facing difficulties, which is a quality that an emperor should have.

On the other hand, he is worried, Zhu Youzhu also knows that the problem of displaced people is difficult to solve, and once it cannot be solved, then the prince's prestige will inevitably be frustrated.

Originally, Zhu Youzhu still wanted to discuss it with the ministers, but at this time, he didn't have this idea, looked at his son and said with a calm face: "It's a big matter, you should think about it in the long run, you should step down!" ”

The ministers all left, leaving only Zhu Youzhu's father and son, Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and said angrily: "What do you think?" Buying a field? As soon as this policy comes out, the world will inevitably boil back, even if you don't implement it, if you say something like this, tomorrow the imperial envoy will play a fold, and they will make a fuss. ”

When Zhu Youzhu said this, his tone became serious: "Where is the calm energy on weekdays?" ”

Of course, Zhu Houzhao knew that he shouldn't say this, and saying it would make the scholars in the world dissatisfied, because these things were done by them.

Looking at their faces at this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold back his anger, and the other Zhu Houzhao also knew that this face would have to be turned over sooner or later. The policies that I want to implement in the future are estimated to anger these people even more, so I simply don't hide them. Regarding his reputation, Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it.

It is estimated that the mixed reputation is good, and if it is not good, it will be the same as the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, even if the merits are recognized, they will be mentioned, as for what the fault, it depends on how those people write themselves.

"Erchen said it on purpose." Zhu Houzhao didn't hide it, and said directly: "Erchen just wants to tell those scholars that Erchen is dissatisfied with them. Daming Haiqing Heyan, although there are occasional disasters, but the imperial court has been very effective in disaster relief in recent years, why are there still displaced people everywhere? And not because of land annexation. ”

"Does my father know how much land the ministers of the court have? Erchen knows that taking Liu Jian, a scholar of Shoufu University, as an example, there are 7,600 acres of fertile land in his house, and how much tax-free land does a scholar have? Erchen knew that his family's 7,600 acres of land were not taxed. The magistrate didn't dare to accept it, and thoroughly investigated the officials in the entire capital to see how many there were. ”

Although he hadn't checked the minister at this time, Zhu Houzhao knew a person, and this person was the later Xu Jie.

The first assistant scholar of the cabinet, a generation of virtuous ministers, many people think that he is stronger than Yan Song, he defeated Yan Song, and at the same time cultivated Zhang Juzheng, but Xu Jie's family has 240,000 acres of land and tens of thousands of tenants, what is this? Where is his field? Bought? Where did the money come from? If it weren't for Gao Gong, if it wasn't Hai Rui, who would know about it?

Zhang Juzheng's reform of the whip law, why did he only dare to check the hidden fields, but he did not dare to move the gentry to exempt taxes?

Isn't it because the ministers of the court and the central government are like this? There is a governor in a county, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land in his house, even if it is just a cash, the county order knows it, but do you dare to collect taxes? What's more, the adults of the major yamen in the capital, if you dare to collect taxes, then change someone, is this thing difficult? Zhu Houzhao knows these things well.

Listening to his son's words, Zhu Youzhu was also indifferent, and raised his head to look at his son: "But these people are governing the world after all!" ”
