The crown ceremony is one of the important ceremonial systems in ancient times, it is the ritual of crowning men who have entered the ranks of adults, and it is an important part of the social life of the ancients. The crown ceremony belongs to the "five rites" in the Jiali, the crown, is a kind of hat worn by the ancient aristocratic adult men, and the crown ceremony is held to crown the man, and the crown ceremony is gradually developed.

People in this era already attach great importance to the crown ceremony, not to mention that this time it is still a crown gift to the emperor, so it is naturally even more important.

The main contents and ceremonies of the emperor's crown ceremony mainly include: the day, the proclamation, the crown uniform, the addition, the temple (the temple), the furnishings, the deacons, the guest praise, the music, the ceremony, the greeting, the meeting of the queen mother, the temple and the ministers, etc.

Zhu Yijun has already obtained the entire process of the crown ceremony, and the recital of the Ministry of Rites is written in detail, and Zhang Hong is responsible for the celebrant supervisor, so there must be no mistakes.

Taishi Yuan Bu Ri, the Ministry of Industry crowned uniforms, the Hanlin Academy wrote a congratulatory text, and the Ministry of Rites had a ritual note. Zhongshu Province undertook the system, and ordered a certain official to take care of the master, and a certain official to take the captain. On the day of the divination, the official was sent to sue heaven and earth and the temple.

Zhu Yijun doesn't have to participate in these processes, there are people below to do it.

The position of the Taishi is naturally Zhang Juzheng, and no one can compete with him, as for the Taiwei, it is the British Gong Zhang Rong.

The day before the official crown ceremony, the envoy ordered Zhang Hong to sit in the middle of the Fengtian Palace, and set up the crown dress case and the incense case treasure case in the south of it. The ceremonial division is located in the south of the Wenlou, the west direction, the worship is located in the inner road of the Danqi, the service is located in the west of the palace seat, and the washing is located in the west of the Dan Majesty, and the rank of the hundred officials and the deacons is like the great court.

On the day of the official crown ceremony, Zhu Yijun got up early in the morning, and it was not good if he didn't get early in the morning, everyone was paying attention to the crown ceremony.

Listening to the three drums outside, Zhu Yijun knew that it was time for Baiguan to come in at this time.

The etiquette of the crown ceremony is very cumbersome, and it is tossed until late, whether it is Zhu Yijun or the hundred officials, they are tired enough. Fortunately, "Hundreds of officials are congratulated in public uniforms, and the banquet is given to the palace" is on the second day, if it is placed at night, Zhu Yijun is afraid that those old adults will not be able to hold on.

The next day, hundreds of officials congratulated them and gave a banquet to the palace, so that Zhu Yijun's crown ceremony would be completed.

Originally, Zhu Yijun thought that the court would make a fuss because of his pro-government affairs, but he didn't expect that his pro-government affairs were not brought out at all, because another incident detonated the court, and the whole thing originated from a twist and turn.

The person who went on this fold was the light in the matter of the household department, and the content of this fold was not complicated at all, and it was not who to participate in, but said one thing, and this matter was a whip.

On the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs are divided on both sides, Zhang Juzheng is wearing a big red python robe, standing at the head of the ministers with an expressionless face, quietly listening to Zhang Hong chanting there with a calm demeanor, quite a feeling that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged.

Zhang Hong's hand is the Huke to the matter of Guangmao, this person has been a bit famous recently, after all, he is a very optimistic one among Zhang Juzheng's officials, and he is very hot now.

"The law of enslavement is to be assigned to the field, and to the servitude is to the people. The summer and autumn taxes shall be determined according to the fertility of the land. To the silver difference, it is the will of Gu Gong, and the difference in force is the way of forced labor. According to the household and the requisition, it is called the average resignation, the registration is fixed, and the field has nothing to do. ”

"In the last years of Jiajing, it was created as a whip law, regardless of whether it was rich or poor, and it was apportioned in one case. even merged the silver and force two differences with the household registration and salt banknotes, but Ding Li did not predict. The merchants enjoyed the benefits of chasing the end, and the peasants lost their hearts, which was very inconvenient for the people. ”

To put it bluntly, this recital is to advocate a whip method, and it is clear that it is necessary to implement a whip law.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who was the old god, and sighed in his heart, this matter finally came. After five years of layout and five years of preparation, Zhang Juzheng felt that the time was ripe, and he was ready to do a big job.

This part emphasized by Guangmao is that the collection of conscription is directly handled by local officials, and the original system of "people's collection and people's liberation" was abolished through the grain chief and lieutenant chief, and changed to the "official collection and dismissal" system.

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, it is useless to change this thing or not, and the official settlement is not necessarily better than that of the people.

Of course, Zhu Yijun also understands Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, he is a two-pronged approach, one whip method and the test method are grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard. If you can't collect taxes, the test law is waiting for you, but Zhang Juzheng forgot one thing, that is, absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

Maybe it's not that Zhang Juzheng forgot, but he didn't think of this at all.

As a civil official, Zhang Juzheng still thinks about the set of civil officials, and he also has the insistence of civil officials in his heart.

Officials collect taxes, who pays taxes, not the gentry yet, where do the officials come from, not from among the gentry. Let the officials collect their own taxes, if only they could collect them. A whip was not so terrible, nor was it so irritating to the nerves of the gentry.

A whip method is, at best, to pay grain into money, this thing the gentry are good at, collect grain with silver, and reduce the price to death, if you don't sell it, you will have no money to pay taxes. The people gritted their teeth and wanted to sell, but if they couldn't afford it, they could only sell the land, and between the collusion of the officials and gentry, the people would have no way to live.

Selling land and selling as tenants, once a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the people will be hungry in an instant, and this is how the disaster victims and displaced people come.

What really stimulates people is the Qingzhang land proposed by Zhang Juzheng, and it is already the norm for the gentry not to pay taxes in this era.

They held up signs of preferential treatment of scholars and support for the ancestral system, and blatantly did not pay taxes. In fact, there is a limit to the gentry exemption, not that you are exempt from taxes as much as you want. However, the reality was that all the fields in the name of the gentry were not taxed.

This led to the practice of donation, as long as a village or a town came out with a person, everyone instantly transferred the land to his name, and then rented it back to plant. There is no need to pay taxes on land, and only a small amount of rent needs to be paid to the lifter, which is much more cost-effective than farming by yourself.

It can be said that everyone in the world is enjoying this feast, and it is the country and the emperor who are suffering.

There is less and less land that can be taxed, and the imperial examination every three years has reduced countless taxable lands for the Ming Dynasty. Poor talent, but as long as he is admitted to the examination, he will immediately become a landlord and a gentry who cultivates and reads heirlooms.

Zhang Juzheng's settlement of the land clearly means taking out your hidden land.

In addition to the part that should be exempted from taxes, you have to pay taxes for the rest, whether it is a gentry or an official, and this practice is naturally the enemy of the world. The gentry faced Zhang Juzheng and didn't want to kill him.

Such a practice is to cut the flesh of the gentry and increase the income of the country in order to achieve the goal of enriching the country.

But Zhang Juzheng doesn't know that wealth will be transferred, it seems that he has cut the flesh of the rich, but in fact, he will return to the original point in the end, all the pressure is on the poor people, and the hidden land is such a thing, you can't check it every few years, right?
