Chapter 266: The Sword of the Son of Heaven

The emperor's decree reprimanded the cabinet, which immediately caused an uproar and pushed the matter to the forefront. The hundreds of officials are even more crazy to write books, all of which are asking for the Great Ming Law.

For a time, inside and outside the capital, hundreds of officials were unprecedentedly unanimous, and even if there was occasional opposition, it was quickly drowned out.

This made the first assistant of the cabinet scholar Shen Shi in the limelight, swept away the title of the first assistant of the clay sculpture, and was jointly promoted by the civil and official, and the momentum soared. The name of the virtuous minister has been shouted, but I don't know if it was Shen Shixing himself or someone else shouted it to him.

In this case, there was no sound in the palace, and Zhu Yijun didn't even go to the early dynasty.

The will that came out was also very simple, I felt the wind and cold, and I needed to recuperate, and for a while things were so deadlocked. This is the first major event since Zhu Yijun came into power.

Because it was the initiative of the cabinet and the hundreds of officials echoed it, countless officials were like being beaten with chicken blood, changing their writing and twists, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to brush up their reputation.

Zhu Yijun, who is hiding in the Wenhua Palace, has been very idle these days, anyway, Zhu Yijun doesn't look at the twists and turns of the Great Ming Law. Now all Zhu Yijun has to do is wait, and wait until the whole thing is pushed to the point of no return.

The more things are pushed now, the less room there is for turning around in the future.

Once they are collectively subdued by the civil officials, when it is time for them to do things on their own, the less they will be able to use the ancestral system to suppress themselves. Zhu Yijun is very confident in this, if he still wants to force himself, he can openly turn his face.

Instead of caring about these, Zhu Yijun should care about something else, such as the affairs of the western suburbs, Wang Yongji also entered the palace under this circumstances.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already transferred the manpower." Wang Yongji bowed down and said: "The six departments have also said hello, but there is one thing that the ministers are a little worried about, that is, there are not enough people. ”

There is no one who can build a garden in the western suburbs, and the same is true for those temples.

This time, the emperor is not just cleaning up the ministers or nobles who repair the garden, but even those temples have to be moved. Unless it is a serious royal temple, it was built by the Ming emperors of the past dynasties.

The only thing that such a temple can do is to issue a title deed to turn the illegal into legal.

It was given by the Ming Emperor, and this Zhu Yijun didn't dare to recycle it. Once the rewards given by other emperors are withdrawn, the world will inevitably be in an uproar, and the world will be shocked.

This kind of thing with little benefit, but notorious, Zhu Yijun will not do.

"Do a good job, after the western suburbs are finished, I will check the entire Shuntian Mansion." Zhu Yijun looked at it and said lightly to Wang Yongji.

In fact, although the commerce of the Ming Dynasty is very developed now, most of it is concentrated in Jiangnan and other places, and the north is not flooded. In the north, the economy was still dominated by the landlords and gentry.

Zhu Yijun does all this, making money is only one aspect, and the more important purpose is another.

This purpose is to establish rules and beat all officials and businessmen for the sake of commercial taxes. Commercial taxes are not collected, and the more prosperous the industrial and commercial development, the deeper the damage to the country.

The smuggling of the southern sea trade was serious, and the amount of silver that was kept from overseas every year was uncountable.

According to the statistics of later generations, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the overseas flow of silver to the Ming Dynasty reached as much as 20,000 taels. accounted for one-third of the colonial income of the entire world in this era, that is, European countries made money from colonization, but the wealth flowed into the pockets of the Ming Dynasty.

This situation did not change even in modern times, until the opium epidemic reversed.

A large amount of silver inflow, so that the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent to solve the shortage of money, but as a later generation, Zhu Yijun knows very well that this situation is harmful to the Ming Dynasty, and the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.

The influx of silver greatly increased the wealth of the wealthy merchants, and the inflow of silver was basically monopolized in their hands.

In this way, the gap between the rich and the poor will further widen, and the class solidification will be more serious.

Such a large-scale inflow of silver will cause currency depreciation, inflation, and price increases, making life even more difficult for ordinary people. The division of the Ming society has also become more serious, and if this continues, it is already a visible thing.

In the event of a slight natural disaster, the fragile Ming will inevitably drown in the wave of the uprising.

Later generations even if they have not learned know that the consequences of over-issuance of currency are very serious, although the Ming Dynasty did not over-issue currency, but a large amount of silver inflow, a large amount of material outflow, than over-issuance of currency.

If productivity is high and industry and commerce are developed, a large trade surplus will greatly increase the national strength.

However, the reality is that although the Ming Dynasty now has industry and commerce, it is mainly a small-scale peasant economy, and the productivity is far from reaching this level. Inflation, a rising currency, and unrestricted land annexation inevitably led to the collapse of the smallholder economy.

As the main body of the small-scale peasant economy, the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and in a word, they will not be able to survive.

If there is state regulation and control, collecting silver from the country, vigorously building infrastructure projects, returning the money to the people, and prompting them to complete the transformation of the small peasant economy into industry and commerce, then the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably take off.

If the country has money, it can also spend it on improving productivity and people's living standards, which can not only alleviate the crisis, but also be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to take off.

Now the problem is that the imperial court has no money, and the huge commercial interests are not the share of the imperial court, so it cannot do whatever it wants.

What Zhu Yijun wants to do is to collect the land in the country, and the next step is to collect the mines in the country, you occupy the country's mines and dig the country's mineral veins, but you don't even pay taxes, and you want to be beautiful.

In a word, if you don't hand over the money, then hand over your head.

Zhu Yijun didn't have this confidence before, but now Zhu Yijun has.

The northwest is flat, Liaodong is fine, the 300,000 troops in the capital are like an arm, and Zhu Yijun is now not afraid of anyone. What the sword pointed to was invincible, and the forbearance and concession in the past were no longer needed.

As long as the barriers of the ancestral system are broken, Zhu Yijun can follow the way of the king, in one sentence, "Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die".

From the newly revised Daming Law, it is determined that the two major areas of land are state-owned and privately owned, and it is necessary to distinguish from the legal level.

The minerals of the mountains, forests, lakes and fields are all minerals, and if you want to, you have to sell them.

Of course, for ordinary people to open up land, not only will the private ownership of land be recognized, but the imperial court will issue land deeds and reduce or exempt land taxes. Ordinary people, Zhu Yijun but don't want it, he will bribe the world.

Just by building the road, Zhu Yijun is ready to complete it in ten years, investing tens of millions of taels of silver.

A large number of infrastructure construction, which stimulated employment, liberalized the craftsman hierarchy, and adopted the craftsman hierarchy used by later generations. Preferential treatment and privileges were granted, and craftsmen of various professions were trained on a large scale.

Zhu Yijun remembers very clearly that in his previous life, his grandfather was an eighth-level carpenter.

Every time he talked about his eighth-level carpenter, his grandfather was very proud, and that feeling Zhu Yijun still remembers vividly. There is a very famous saying that a sixth-level carpenter is equivalent to an intermediate intellectual.

Change the situation that everything is inferior only to high reading, and lure it with huge profits.

To achieve the level of a master craftsman, Zhu Yijun is not stingy to reward him with a knighthood.

Such a grand and huge plan naturally needs a lot of money to support, where did Zhu Yijun's first pot of gold come from, of course, from the hands of officials and businessmen. Occupy the land of minerals, the place of prosperity, you have to take the money out.

Zhu Yijun's Son of Heaven Sword is ready, whoever dares to stand in the way will definitely be killed with one sword!

Zhu Yijun's two-step plan, Da Minglu's side is already in full swing, and Wang Yongji's side can also start. Glancing at Wang Yongji, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said: "Aiqing is short of manpower, I will allocate some people to you!" ”

Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Wang Yongji's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

The last time in Shandong, the emperor also said the same, and then he also allocated manpower to himself, that is, Xing Shangzhi of the brocade guard. In Wang Yongji's view, Xing Shangzhi is a stupid and reckless man.

If it weren't for Father-in-law Xu from the inner factory, he would have almost been ruined.

If Shandong is in chaos and is taught by the White Lotus, the emperor's officials and gentry will inevitably suffer a fatal blow, not to mention their own careers, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved.

This time again? If it is a person from the inner factory, Wang Yongji will definitely be willing to accept it.

But now that Xu De is still on his way back, how could the emperor transfer the inner factory people to himself? If you can't get it again, it's Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and you can't say that you don't need it, but you really can't use it.

Although Xing Shangzhi's reckless man was punished by the emperor, Wang Yongji also heard about it, and it seems that he has a tendency to turn over recently.

Zhu Yijun naturally won't give Xing Shangzhi to Wang Yongji again, there is no such thing as a meritorious hero, if Xing Shangzhi is given to Wang Yongji again, it is estimated that Wang Yongji should have an idea.

However, what Zhu Yijun wants to give to Wang Yongji is still Jinyiwei.

Originally, Zhu Yijun used Xing Shangzhi to revive Jinyiwei, let him make meritorious contributions in Shandong, and then use this credit to take charge of Jinyiwei, and at the same time launched the purge of Jinyiwei.

But the reality is not as good as Zhu Yijun thought, Xing Shangzhi went to Shandong, and directly fell on a big heel, disgraced.

Jinyiwei just got a little better, and fell back to the bottom in an instant, and Zhu Yijun had to dispose of Xing Shangzhi, which made Zhang Whale, who recommended Xing Shangzhi, also disgraced for a while.

In fact, Jinyiwei can't just be wasted, and it has to be rectified.

There is no big thing, it is impossible for Jinyiwei to turn over, and now the major events of the court, Jinyiwei can't be mixed with the Daming Law, and there is only this matter left on Wang Yongji's side.

Zhu Yijun could only rely on Jinyiwei to Wang Yongji, even if he didn't want to.

"I'll transfer the brocade guard to you!" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yongji and said lightly, although Zhu Yijun has been trained for a long time and has a thicker skin than the city wall, he still feels very embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Li Biao, the commander of Jinyiwei, was born in an inner factory, and I believe he will satisfy Aiqing."

As soon as he heard that Li Biao was born in an inner factory, Wang Yongji was more acceptable in his heart, but he almost rejected the emperor just now. For Jinyiwei, since the time in Shandong, Wang Yongji has no good impression at all.

The new commander of the Jinyi Guard, speaking of which, Wang Yongji does not understand.

It's just that I knew that his name was Li Biao, and then he was transferred from the local government, and the civil officials didn't care about this in the first place. In the past few years, Jinyiwei has been weakened so badly that everyone is about to ignore this yamen.

Zhang Whale of the East Factory is in power, and his reputation is great, and Xu De of the Inner Factory has risen suddenly, and he has won the trust of His Majesty.

What does Jinyiwei have, first Liu Shouyou and the gentry retreated, and then Xing Shangzhi was disgraced in Shandong, plus Zhang Juzheng's ten years of governance, Jinyiwei is also the only one who looks forward to Zhang Juzheng.

If you push forward, when the high arch is in power, the factory guards are silent.

When Yan Song and Xu were fighting for power, the factory guards were also not on the stage, the civil officials were powerful, and the factory guards were suppressed for not a day or two. If you want to turn over now, how can it be so easy.

If it weren't for Zhu Yijun's vigorous support for the East Factory, and Zhang Whale was a ruthless character, the East Factory would be unusable now.

Compared with the East Factory, Jinyiwei is even more finished, and he is crushed to death. Especially after Liu Shouyou hugged Zhang Juzheng's thigh, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was full of civility, almost made the Jinyi Guard unable to do things.

This time, Zhu Yijun transferred Li Biao to Jinyiwei, in order to make Jinyiwei from plastic.

In the next reform, Jinyiwei is of great use.

For Li Biao, who was parachuted into Jinyiwei, he urgently needed an opportunity to establish his authority and make meritorious contributions, so as to be convincing and let Zhu Yijun support him, this time it was Zhu Yijun who found an opportunity for Li Biao.

Although he still didn't want to use it in his heart, Wang Yongji also knew that the emperor said so, and it would be inappropriate to refuse again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yongji hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.

Hearing Wang Yongji's words, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt a sense of relief and relief. In his heart, he was secretly ruthless, if Li Biao didn't do a good job this time, he would have to clean him up.

Others don't know who this Li Biao is, but Zhu Yijun is very clear.

The earliest group of people in the inner factory can be said to be the veteran level of the inner factory, and the people when the internal factory was established. If he is disappointing himself, Zhu Yijun feels that he still has abolished Jinyiwei!

When Wang Yongji left, Zhu Yijun sat up straight, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally started.

When the matter of Da Ming Law was in a big uproar, Zhu Yijun's hand began to stretch out to the western suburbs.

Back at the Tax Division, Wang Yongji received a report from the people below, and Jinyi Wei commanded Li Biao to ask for a meeting. This made Wang Yongji's heart a lot irritable, anyway, this time in the capital, very close to the palace, Wang Yongji made up his mind, once Jinyiwei was a little unqualified, he would enter the palace to impeach.

Last time, Xing Shangzhi's anger had not subsided, and he was scared when he thought about it.

Although self-cultivation couldn't make him scold, he had already faced Xing Shangzhi in his heart, and even had the heart to kill him. Now I want to give Jinyiwei a good face, but there is no door!
