Sun Chuanting had firearms, food, and cloth, and temporarily recruited more than 1,000 Ding Zhuang to go to Shaanxi to take office.

Before leaving, he bowed to the workshop owners who claimed to be industrialists.

Sun Chuanting went out of the mountain in advance to deal with King Gao Yingxiang, and Zhu Shun was ready to start his second step.

Workers' Hall.

Zhu Shun sat on the Huanghuali official hat chair and continued to peel off the cocoon: "With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Liukou will never be able to conquer and suppress, if you kill the king of Chuang, Gao Yingxiang will have Li Zicheng, and if you kill Li Zicheng, there will be others who will continue to become the king of Chuang." ”

"In order to fundamentally solve the problem of homeless people, we need to solve two problems, displaced people and financial endowment."

The problem of displaced people is extremely serious, and the displaced people are wandering around the provinces, prefectures, and provincial capitals, and they often do some robbery and theft on weekdays, disturbing the stability of various localities.

When King Gao Yingxiang lost his men under the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, these homeless people were the best source of soldiers for the Liukou, which was also the reason why the more the Liukou were recruited and suppressed, the more the number of people increased.

After peeling off the cocoon, the first vein is very clear, only by solving the problem of displaced people, can the source of the thieves be sucked away, and the king Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng will be killed little by little.

How to solve the problem needs to be put aside for the first time, because the problem of displaced people and land annexation are one and the same, and it is a strange circle that will never be able to get out of it for 3,000 years.

In order to break out of this strange circle, the Ming Dynasty had to have a bold emperor who followed the example of Taizu to carry out land reform and nationalize land.

Zhu Shun could only put aside this issue for the first time, and began to peel off the cocoon's wealth: "The imperial court has no money, mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di dug two big pits for their descendants, one is that the gentry do not pay grain, and the other is the national pig breeding plan. ”

"If we want to solve the problem of the official gentry not paying grain, it is almost equivalent to eliminating the bureaucratic landlord class, which is more difficult than land reform, and we can only start with the national pig breeding plan."

Zhu Shun pulled out a yellowed piece of paper and began to list the national pig breeding plan of the Ming Dynasty in simplified Chinese characters, from which he analyzed the root cause of the problem.

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di succeeded in rebelling as a vassal king, and in order to prevent the vassal kings from following the example, he abolished the administrative power of the clan and retained only the economic power.

The Ming Dynasty gave the clan a rich fortune and a large amount of land, and the good food and drink were raised in the fiefdom, and they could not go out of the fiefdom and participate in the government politics.

At the beginning, the number of clans was small, and it was effortless for the Ming Dynasty to raise the clans, and after generations of reproduction, the number swelled dramatically and became a huge parasitic class in the Ming Dynasty.

Until the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the number of clans was as high as 627,424.

Zhu Shun dipped the inkstone in ink and wrote down the names of Shanxi, Henan and other provinces.

In Shanxi, the annual grain harvest is 1.52 million stones, but the expenditure of rice in the sect has reached 3.12 million stones.

In Henan, the annual grain collected was 840,000 stones, and the expenditure of rice by the clan reached 1,920,000 stones.

In addition to Jiangnan, the grain collected by the provinces is less than half of Zongfanlu's rice, which requires the vast majority of Jiangnan's grain to raise pigs.

Zhu Shun pulled out another yellowed piece of paper and began to write simplified characters on it.

These feudal clans ate up the huge taxes of the imperial court and occupied a large amount of farmland that did not have to pay taxes.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, King Jing rewarded 2 million acres of farmland.

In the seventeenth year of Wanli, King Lu rewarded two million acres of farmland.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, King Rui rewarded 1.5 million acres of farmland.

……

Zhu Shun put down the brush in his hand, looked at the lines of numbers on the yellowed paper, how to make the Ming Finance take a breath, has been implemented.

As long as the Zhuangtian in the hands of the clan is recovered, the Ming Dynasty finances will be able to get out of the brink of collapse, support it for a few more years, and buy a few more years for the industrial revolution.

Zhu Shun burned the two yellowed pieces of paper and said calmly: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to the Forbidden City." ”

Chongzhen has returned to the Forbidden City to deal with government affairs, and after a rumor, Zhu Shun walked into the warm pavilion.

Chongzhen sat in the warm pavilion, dealing with the backlog of movements.

Zhu Shun walked up to Chongzhen and said the plan that he had already made very clear: "Your Majesty, sending troops to recruit and suppress the Liukou is only a symptom, if you want to cure the root cause, you must solve the problem of the homeless people from the root." ”

Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Chengzong, the emperor, have already talked about this issue, and only by completely solving the problem of the displaced people can the thieves be solved once and for all.

But the problem of displaced people has plagued Daming for hundreds of years, where is it so easy to solve, Chongzhen just nodded: "What Aiqing said is reasonable. ”

Zhu Shun knew that Chongzhen would not believe that there was really a way to solve the problem of a large number of displaced people, let alone that someone could make Da Ming jump out of the strange circle of three thousand years.

However, Zhu Shun is an exception.

Zhu Shun no longer talked about the issue of displaced people, but talked about the issue of the clan: "The minister understands the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, and the minister has a strategy that can help the court recover a large amount of money and grain." ”

When Chongzhen heard that the money and food were recovered, he became interested, put down the imperial pen in his hand, and looked at Zhu Shun, who was standing in front of the yellow silk imperial case: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhu Shun took out a piece of exquisite Wu paper, on which he listed the land roughly owned by the clans in a letter, and handed it to Wang Chengen to present: "As long as the land in the hands of the clan is recovered, the imperial court will have the money and grain to reorganize the armament, eliminate the Liukou, and fight against the northern Jiannu." ”

Chongzhen watched a huge amount of Lu rice delivered to Zong Fan every year, and his flesh hurt, but he could only hurt his flesh, and if he didn't give Zong Fan Lu rice, he would not have to rebel.

Zhu Shun knew what Chongzhen was thinking, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you give the clan a chance to be the emperor, what will happen to the clan?" ”

"Uncle Industry!" Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him with low eyebrows, suddenly shouted: "Don't think that you can talk nonsense without reading poetry books, rebellion is to kill your head!" ”

Zhu Shun knew that Wang Chengen was exculpating him, and continued: "Please make it clear to the emperor." ”

Chongzhen saw Zhu Shun's expression so serious, and thought that he was trying to force the clan to rebel and take back the Zhuang Tian in the hands of the sect: "Now is not the time, there are slaves outside, and there are rogues inside." ”

"If the clan also makes trouble at this time, the Ming Dynasty will really die."

"As for the opportunity to be the emperor you mentioned, the clans have been controlled by others all their lives, and they have been trembling all their lives worrying that their heads will move one day, where is the emperor who has the power to kill the people of all people."

"Even if it's a day, the clan will fight desperately."

Zhu Shun suddenly took out a map of Kunyu Wanguo, let Wang Chengen grasp it in his hand, and lay it in front of Chongzhen, with a trace of fanaticism on his calm face: "What the minister said is not the Ming Dynasty, but the territory of all countries outside the Ming Dynasty." ”

"The emperor can issue a holy decree to allow the clan to leave the fiefdom, allow them to form a sailor, and let them occupy Nanyang, Tianzhu, and even Europa."

"Give the clans a chance to claim the title of emperor and build a state."

Zhu Shun stared at Chongzhen with burning eyes, and a sentence kept echoing in his heart.

In that year, Queen Elizabeth allowed the English aristocracy to colonize overseas, ushering in the centuries-old era of the British Empire.

Today, Zhu Shun is bound to open the era of the Ming Dynasty's empire!
