His Majesty the Emperor has a glimpse of the heavens, but it does not change the fact that he is a faint monarch.

Confucianism doesn't like this.

At most, he inherited the legacy of his great-grandfather, but his great-grandfather didn't seem to be a good thing in the eyes of the princes of Gongon, and this old thief could really be counted carefully, and he could also rank among the faint kings, so His Majesty the Emperor's performance was at most a step further in the crooked and evil way......

And even more terrifying.

It doesn't matter if you're a faint monarch, but the faint monarch can spell spells, so how can you mix up with the princesses?

"Ma, shameless!"

Yang Xin looked at a mighty team in front of him.

It's all ministers.

The red robe is in front, the green robe is in the back, and the green robe is not qualified, all of them are above the seventh grade, and there are a lot of nobles among them, all of them are sanctimonious, and the front is the highest and oldest person, the scholar of Jianji Palace, and Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the ministry. After the apocalypse succeeded to the throne, this was the third official book, the earliest Zhou Jiamo, who was too old and did not agree with the nine thousand years old, and the successor Zhang Wenda resigned, and then the nine thousand years old finally discovered such an obedient superlative......

He is a native of Kunshan.

But when the entire Nanzhili Wenchen was standing in the nine-thousand-year-old hostile camp, he took his son to find the nine-thousand-year-old and said that I should have called you father, but I was afraid that you would dislike me for being too old, so let my son call you grandpa.

And then all of a sudden, he became a celebrity around the nine thousand years old.

However, his identity and qualifications are indeed enough, he is the first year of the Apocalypse, the head of the Zhan Mansion, so the nine thousand years old forced him into the cabinet, and others have nothing to say, it turns out that he is almost about to become the shame of Suzhou Mansion Shilin, but I didn't expect things to develop to this day, those loyal ministers and righteous men of Nanzhili suddenly found that they had a banner in the eunuch party! So Gu Bingqian instantly became the leader of Nanzhili Wenchen, and then held a petition proudly, and walked through the Huangji Gate with Wen Zhenmeng and other original Qingliu celebrities behind him, and a large number of chaotic eunuchs......

They're going to clear the door.

Then write a book on the gate outside the Qianqing Gate.

And the content is very simple, please ask the apocalypse to seal the Queen Mother to the Hakka family.

"By the way, why don't you go?"

Yang Xin asked Xu Guangqi beside him.

"If they can succeed, if they can't succeed, then it's useless to add old decay, since this is the case, why bother to join in this fun, and besides, they need to be consecrated with the Holy Lady, and the old decay doesn't need it."

Xu Guangqi said very calmly.

"Do you always support the canonization of the Holy Lady and the Empress Dowager?"

Yang Xin asked.

"The old man doesn't support it, but the old man supports them to solve the Red Turban Army."

Xu Guangqi said very simply.

"That's the ass problem!"

Yang Xin said.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Guangqi asked with great interest.

"Which camp does the ass sit in, you see, even if you always know what the Red Turban Army is about, you always know that the Red Turban Army harvested this autumn and paid the land rent equivalent to the sum of the taxes paid by the three governments of Suchang Town in the past, and this is still under the condition of this year's disaster and production reduction. According to this amount of land rent, this piece of land equivalent to Zhenjiang Mansion and a small piece of Changzhou Mansion in the past can increase the amount of grain equivalent to the sum of the three mansions of Su Song and Changzhou in the past for His Majesty.

But you still have to oppose the Red Turban Army.

Because your land is in Songjiang, you are afraid that one day the poor people there will be like this, so you must ignore this fact.

It's called the ass problem.

Rightly or wrongly, to stand in the camp of the gentry, it is necessary to support the gentry. ”

Yang Xin said.

"But what do you think of old decay?"

Xu Guangqi said.

"It's very simple, give up land control and go all out on industry and commerce."

Yang Xin said.

"But the old man and the Su Song gentry are doing this.

More than half of the population of Suzhou City depends on industry and commerce, each of us has the factories and shops you mentioned, after the opening of Shanghai, almost all the population in the city depends on industry and commerce, our goods are sold to the whole world, and this year there are even businessmen who want to follow the Dutch to Taixi to see.

We are all working hard to develop business and industry.

But this does not prevent us from holding a large amount of land, which is ours in the first place.

Don't say that we don't pay taxes, the Xu family's land is taxed according to the law, we don't lack that tax, and even if necessary, I can take the lead in reducing the rent, this year I will let the Xu family's land rent be reduced to a maximum of no more than 60%, in fact, we have to reduce the rent, because there are too many industrial and commercial people. If we don't reduce the rent, then the peasants will all go to the cities to find work, and if we reduce the wages so that the work is about the same as the farming, then our industry and commerce will have to hire workers from other places.

But we are afraid that the local people will make trouble.

After all, now the Red Turban Army has made people's hearts unstable.

You see, it doesn't have to be like the Red Turban Army, and the gentry will change if they need to, after all, no one likes to burn jade. ”

Xu Guangqi said.

"It's not that you've changed, it's that the Red Turban Army is beside you, it's not that your conscience has found out, it's that you're afraid, you see the consequences of not changing, you don't want to burn all the jade, those poor people are just a rotten life, but you all have a big family. So you can make some concessions and give them some benefits that are not worth mentioning to you, in exchange for them being grateful to Dade and honestly continuing to work for you, and you can continue to do your best.

What would you have done without the Red Turbans?

You will increase the rent, force the peasants to go bankrupt and enter the factories, and then buy domestic slaves from other places, use these domestic slaves to farm for you, and even go to foreign countries to buy slaves.

Or you prefer to use slaves.

After all, you can't let the tenants farm with shackles, but you can let the barbarian slaves with shackles, so that you don't have to worry about them rebelling, and at that time you will receive more than you would use the tenants, who need to feed their parents, wives and children, and the barbarian slaves only need to eat. Dong Qichang's son robbed a tenant's daughter, so the garden was burned, and he went into exile for more than half a year, but no one cared about these barbarian slaves who were whipped to death.

How perfect.

But the Red Turbans make you dare not.

You are afraid to anger the peasants, and they will wipe out everything you have. ”

Yang Xin also said very politely.

"If you say that, the old man will have nothing to say."

Xu Guangqi said.

"But what is the premise of your thinking?"

Yang Xin stroked a huge pillar in front of him and said.

They were actually in the Imperial Palace, which was originally burned down, and was finally completed after more than two years and less than three years of construction, relying on the replacement of those expensive nanmu pillars with reinforced concrete, the total cost of this hall was less than one million taels. And the Ming Dynasty has brought into the era of reinforced concrete, as a supporting Changping cement plant and an iron factory between the river, is rapidly changing the appearance of various places, especially in the north of Beizhili, various public construction has not used glutinous rice juice, and the same reinforced concrete piers have also appeared on those rivers......

Most of the rivers in the northern part of the country are seasonal.

In the summer, when the flood is like the surging Yellow River, in the winter only a small ditch remains, so a waterway is dug nearby to divert the river water around, and then the original river channel is dug deep, with stones to build the foundation, and the top of the reinforced concrete to make a bridge pier.

As for the bridge deck, it doesn't matter.

In fact, reinforced concrete is also used for bridge decks.

Although the wrought iron bar is not used in large buildings, it is not very daring, but it can be used on the bridge, in fact, there is no wrought iron bar, this kind of load-bearing bamboo bar is enough, do not underestimate the bamboo bar, a large number of small western-style buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China are made of bamboo bar, it is said that half a century later are still standing.

In short, the driving effect of large-scale projects on industrial and infrastructure technology is being demonstrated in the construction of this hall.

The other two are nearing completion.

It is estimated that next summer, the three major halls of the Ming Dynasty will be completed, and the total cost will not exceed three million taels.

Originally, it was six million in history.

Of course, when the civil officials scared Wanli, they said that it was tens of millions.

The completion of these three halls, so that the whole palace immediately changed a momentum, before entering the noon gate into the first desolation of the sun, after all, the three ruins are there, to be precise, four to be exact, because Wanli has not even repaired the Huangji Gate, and the ruins of the Huangji Gate are rampant when they enter the noon gate, and behind this pile of tatters, the three major halls are the ruins of the three lumps.

Absolutely dying.

But now the majestic hall stands, showing the glory of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi did not answer.

He used the Ministry of Works, together with Yang Xin's decree to do the final inspection, soon after the completion of the winter solstice, the Apocalypse to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials in the Huangji Palace, by the way, also officially announced the completion of the Huangji Palace, in the final analysis, this major project is also an important achievement of the Apocalypse.

"The premise of your thinking is that you have begun to look down on the income from the land, you don't care about the tens of thousands of stone valleys you receive every year, and the profits you get every year in industry and commerce may be ten times the rent of this point, and you all have money, and you have begun to break away from the pure land gentry, and begin to advance to the capitalists I mentioned earlier.

You don't care about giving a little profit in exchange for the peasants not making trouble, and they don't make trouble is the premise that you can continue to make a fortune.

Otherwise, how can we engage in industry and commerce by fighting wars every day?

However, how many Songjiang Mansions are there in Daming? How many cities in Daming, like Shanghai and Suzhou, have begun to enter the industrial age? Are there ten? So what about the gentry elsewhere? What about the gentry who did not enter the industrial age? What about the gentry who relied purely on land rent to maintain their food and clothing? Will they also reduce the rent like you? It's a joke, if you reduce the rent by 10,000 stones, you can get 100,000 yuan from industry and commerce, and if they reduce 10,000 stones, they will lose 10,000 stones.

Red Turban Army?

The Red Turbans can't scare them. ”

Yang Xin said.

"So why don't they do the same?"

Xu Guangqi said.
