Chapter 858: Monarchs and Ministers Concentric
Liu Jian's approval did not make it easy for Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.
They naturally knew that even if Liu Jian agreed, what would happen?
This is a big deal, not a joke, this Liu Gong is ready to break his bones.
Seeing Liu Jian prostrate on the ground, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were a little blurry.
In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was also a little undecided.
He knew that if he could really implement it, it would be regarded as solving the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty, but .........
It's too difficult to do it, and the first one to bear the brunt will be Liu Jian, because Liu Jian is the first assistant of the cabinet, and all the pressure will go to him.
This Fang Jifan said it easily, but the problem is that everyone won't go to him at all.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian have always been close to each other, and they can't help but hesitate at this time.
Eventually, they fell to the ground: "Wait for ...... ministers"
The words behind me were choked up, and I didn't know what to say.
Fang Jifan stood aside and sighed in his heart.
Liu Jian is still a person with feelings.
As for Liu Dongyang and Xie Qian, they are quite righteous, in history, these three people have not had a bad reputation, this history may be biased, but it is probably still eight or nine inseparable, a pure bad person, it is impossible to get a good reputation, and a pure good person like Fang Jifan will probably be treated gently by the history of Qianqiu.
Of course, if someone dares to say bad things about Fang Jifan in the Ming Shilu, Fang Jifan promises to kill him.
Even if you wait for a hundred years later, there is no one who will not open their eyes.
I have so many disciples and grandchildren, what are you afraid of?
Of course, it is very difficult to accomplish this feat.
In the end, everyone knew that the current problem of land annexation was serious, and they also knew how to solve it.
But...... Even if it comes to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, to the point where it is almost the end of the world, no one is willing to solve this problem.
However, in the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty, the gentry were solved by paying grain as a whole.
Of course, this is because Yongzheng is a ruthless person, but the fundamental reason is that the Ming Dynasty is the real emperor and scholars who rule the world, and the basis of the Ming Dynasty's rule is to rely on the gentry and cut themselves off, which does not exist.
On the surface, the Qing Dynasty maintained the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Yongzheng's basic plate came from the Houjin people, and the so-called preferential scholars were just outsiders after all, so Yongzheng could not hesitate to raise a butcher's knife against the rebels, and whoever disobeyed would slaughter you and shut up, and you had to shut up.
Therefore, playing this in Daming is tantamount to playing with fire, and it is very risky.
At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed, he raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Jifan, and said, "Okay, Fang Qing's family, I want to hear from you, how the gentry can pay for food in one piece." β
Fang Jifan became serious and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the gentry refuse to pay for food?" β
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be stunned, he hadn't thought about this question.
Facing Emperor Hongzhi's reaction, Fang Jifan seemed to have known about it for a long time, and then continued: "This is because the gentry may not be able to benefit themselves after receiving grain. Therefore, as soon as the gentry in this world heard about the payment of grain, they were bound to attack them en masse. β
"So to solve the fundamental problem now, we must let them know that the court takes from the people and uses it for the people, and to do this, so that they can really taste the sweetness, and then, even if there will be complaints, their resistance will never be so fierce."
Emperor Hongzhi frowned, thoughtfully, and said: "Now, isn't it taken from the people and used for the people?" β
Fang Jifan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Erchen doesn't want to explore this issue in depth, after all, things can only be solved one by one, and what Erchen said about using it for the people is because of the benefits that can be seen and touched." β
"Okay." Emperor Hongzhi always stared: "You go on." β
"Therefore, we can try to do it in a county first, at least to minimize the resistance first, if this gentry pays food in one piece, it can be solved in the county, and then slowly try to promote it. Let's call this county a model county. β
Model County ......
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be stunned, Fang Jifan could always give them something new.
But the most important thing now is that the problem can be solved.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "Which county can?" β
Fang Jifan thought for a while before he said: "It's best to start from the near place first, it's better to start from Dingxing County, Baoding Prefecture, which is close enough to Jingshi, once something happens, the imperial court can solve it immediately to prevent the situation from expanding." β
Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "The new city is only a hundred miles away from Dingxing, and it is indeed not a problem.
Fang Jifan said again: "In addition, we have to send a person with courage and knowledge. Erchen thought about it, and it was more suitable for Ouyang Zhi, the minister's protΓ©gΓ©, to go. β
"Ouyang Zhi ......"
Everyone looked at each other.
This Fang Jifan is really expensive.
His chief disciple was actually sent, isn't this clearly announcing to the people of the world, that's right, this bad idea was from my successor, come and beat me, stupid people.
Liu Jian and others originally thought that Fang Jifan would be a turtle with a shrunken head, but who knew that this Fang Jifan was still very responsible.
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "Ouyang Zhi is a bachelor in Hanlin, his status is noble, and he only makes a small county order?" β
Fang Jifan said: "He is still a bachelor in Hanlin, and doing so also shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to Dingxing County." In addition, Erchen dared to think that for the time being, he could not use the gentry to pay grain to set up this advertisement, so he might as well ...... Let's find a clear vision first, it's better to talk about fundraising and the like. β
It was a good idea, at least not to arouse the gentry's disgust at once.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What else?" β
"There is still ......" Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Also, it's up to Ouyang Zhi to see if he can withstand the pressure." β
"As long as you pass it, things will be fine, if you can't pass it, you will lose everything, and your son will lose this apprentice."
After that, Fang Jifan glanced at Liu Jian and the others, and then said: "And Liu Gong and the others, I'm afraid that the future will not be easy." β
Emperor Hongzhi hesitated: "Are you sure?" β
Fang Jifan said: "Only Sancheng is sure." After taking a deep breath, he said, "But...... If it can be done, it will be beneficial for the future. Your Majesty, give it a try, anyway, even if you lose, Your Majesty will be fine. β
This means that it is very clear that it is someone else who dies anyway, even if it is sacrificed, when it really reaches the point of last resort, you can also remove the cabinet scholars, or even depose Ouyang Zhi and other culprits to calm the anger of the people in the world.
Fang Jifan obviously wanted to make a desperate bet, and if he was an official and didn't make decisions for the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
And letting Ouyang Zhi go, obviously represents Fang Jifan's determination, if he can't do it, it's a big deal to go home with him and sell the house.
Emperor Hongzhi showed a shy look on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "What are you talking nonsense? β
Fang Jifan was embarrassed: "The sons and daughters are dead." β
Emperor Hongzhi's face was solemn, and he said sharply: "I want to try, because I know that once I succeed, this move will benefit the country and the people, and benefit thousands of people. My ancestors and ancestors have not been criticized by others, do you think I really sell my reputation and just want to be a saint in the eyes of others? There are also some of my ancestors and ancestors who are secretly called deaf, and they can, and it doesn't hurt me. You say you're 30% sure ......"
Emperor Hongzhi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass outside the Fengtian Palace, but the light in his eyes seemed to reveal a firmness, and his voice trembled a little: "Try it, if Ouyang Zhi is not afraid of being ruined, Liu Qing, Xie Qing, and Li Qing are willing to advance and retreat with me, and even you Fang Jifan ......"
Fang Jifan's face flushed for a moment: "Your Majesty, don't use a ligature, this ligature, it sounds a little cold." β
Emperor Hongzhi Zhengse said: "You Fang Jifan, you are also willing to try for the people of the world, okay, then try, start from Dingxing County." β
Liu Jian and the others were beating drums in their hearts, but at this time, they had nothing else to say, so they said: "My emperor Shengming!" β
Emperor Hongzhi turned around and smiled at Fang Jifan: "I really want to see what you call taking from the people and using it for the people!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ouyang Zhi was a little confused.
Zhengding County Order, ordered to collect donations from the gentry of Zhengding County.
How do you feel that you are insulting the IQ of the gentry in Zhengding County.
Of course, Ouyang Zhi hadn't reacted at this time.
Fang Jifan sat in the hall and looked at Ouyang Zhi.
He likes this guy, just like himself, he is honest, and sure enough, what kind of master he teaches what kind of disciple.
Fang Jifan said in a sad tone: "Ouyang Zhi, are you listening?" β
ββ¦β¦β
After a long time, Ouyang Zhi said: "Ah, Master, you say." β
Fang Jifan said: "I'll say it slowly, you understand it yourself." After a pause: "This matter is very important, it is related to my Ming Dynasty, once you fail, you will be ruined, from now on, I am afraid that the official will not be able to do it, so I have to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and then sell the house miserably for the teacher to live." But if it is done, the work will be in the future. I said this to Your Majesty, as a teacher, this kind of thing can only be carried out if you have great wisdom and courage. Although your IQ is insufficient, your courage is commendable, and you are the most distressed teacher for you. β
Ouyang Zhi understood this time, and he said: "The teacher has a life, and the student will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." β
"Okay." Fang Jifan was happy, to be honest, such a person, even if he didn't have a little IQ, he was like a mentally retarded, Fang Jifan also liked it.
"I write down a charter, you don't have to care about anything, just do it, Your Majesty has acquiesced, Zhengding County is not far away, there is a Beijing battalion stationed, the commander of this battalion is surnamed Wu, counting, and our family also has some origins, if the situation is urgent, you can call at any time, all in all, for the teacher to borrow is your share of loyalty, you immediately clean up, tomorrow to go to the post, in short, according to the charter!"
