Chapter 212: One Man Against a Group

Then Chen Xingshan did not mention the punishment of Liu Chuan, only mentioned the content of the fold itself, and said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, the Mintian Tianfu of the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is indeed similar to other places, and it is thirty taxes and one, and Liu Chuan is lying in vain in this matter; However, the tax of Guantian is higher than the ten tax one, which is indeed higher.

Yun Xi said: "But even so, the people of the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who rent official land, have much more grain left per mu than the people in the north. ā€

This is similar to the case of the North and South List at the time of Emperor Taizu. At that time, the crux of the debate among the officials was: should we insist on the fairness of meritocracy, or should we be fair in all provinces where people can be officials? Now, do you want the tax ratio to be fair, or is it fair for the people to pay the taxes and the rest of the food? ā€

There is no absolute right way to do this, it all depends on which side your ass sits on, or which side is in your interest. Yun Xi is now the emperor, and of course it is in his interest to adopt the latter one, so he adopts the latter kind of 'fairness'.

And Yun Hee believes that the act of digging in the land should not be encouraged. In fact, it was impossible to get rich by farming before the advent of the mechanized era, and life became more and more difficult as the population grew. So the people must be encouraged to go out and explore. Whether it's 'going to the Kanto' or 'going to the South Seas', it's all right.

And Yun Xi knew through Jinyiwei that the gentry of the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had embezzled Guantian without authorization. Although these usurped fields were taxed according to the taxes of the official land, they had to be privately rented by the gentry. Zhu Yuanzhang killed people once when he was in power, but the phenomenon still exists.

If he cuts the official land and land taxes here, the gentry will increase the rent, and in the end the ordinary people will not get benefits.

Regarding the matter of land endowment, not only the three civil officials were concerned, but Zhang Wen and Guo Zhen were also listening carefully, after all, their families had a lot of land, and all their land had to be taxed since their tax exemption was abolished at the suggestion of Yun Xi. However, they did not have land in the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they only paid attention to Yun Xi's attitude towards Tian Fu.

The five ministers present did not have people from the five prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they were able to look at this issue from a more neutral perspective. Zhang Wen and Guo Zhen have nothing to do with themselves and don't speak, but the three civil officials are different, they all have the ideal of governing the country and leveling the world.

Of course, Tyrant Zhao supported Yun Xi. As a northerner, I have long seen that southerners, especially those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the imperial examinations are the most powerful, are not pleasing to the eye, so I support it.

The other two, thinking about it repeatedly, could only admit that it was right to consider Yunxi from the perspective of the country.

After taking care of today's recitals, Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace from the Jinshen Palace, and sent someone to call Qin Song.

When Qin Song came, Yun Xi first asked with a smile: "Qin Qing, how is the control of Jinyi Wei now?" ā€

Qin Song said: "Your Majesty, the minister brought a few people from the Jinwu avant-garde, and became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a thousand households, and a hundred households, and the two commanders knew the same thing because the minister was appointed by His Majesty as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, so he did not dare to compete with the minister, and now the Jinyi Guard in the capital has almost controlled it, but the field is not easy to control." ā€

Yun Xi said: "That's it, although things in other places are also important, they are not as important as the capital." ā€

Qin Song said: "Your Majesty, what is the important matter of calling the ministers here today?" ā€

Yun Xi Zhengse said: "From today onwards, you will step up your efforts to look at the officials in the capital. These people, these days, will inevitably test how much I know about the local situation and the current situation of the imperial court. ā€

"I know that I can't know everything in detail, so you first compile a booklet of the relationship between the officials in the DPRK, including the place of origin, the year of the official, the jinshi, the lifter, and the talent of the subject, and the year in which the Guozijian was enrolled and the official, and so on, and write down everything in detail."

"And then monitor who they see every day, without knowing what they say, and report it when I tell you to report it."

The emperor is equivalent to dealing with the entire group of officials with one person, and it is difficult not to be fooled by the civil and military officials now. Today's incident is because Yun Xi paid attention to it in the later generations, and usually paid attention to the country's population, acres of land and other things, so he found out by himself.

But he may not be able to find out about other things, so Yun Xi decided that he had to carefully consider any matter of an official advising him to change the law, first considering the purpose of the person who made the excerpt, whether it was related to his interests, and then talking about other things.

And Yoon-hee also has to find a helper. He is unwilling to use eunuchs like in history, and the military generals can't help in this kind of daily governance of the country for the time being, so they can only use Jinyiwei.

Yun Xi's definition of Jin Yiwei is a secret agency that hides in the shadows, only collects intelligence, and is not known. Yun Xi also plans to divide it into two institutions: internal and external, after Qin Song completes the integration of Jinyiwei.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Song promised.

Yun Xi actually didn't want to talk about this matter when he let Qin Song enter the palace today, this was just a temporary addition after receiving this excerpt, and what he really wanted to say was the next thing.

Yun Xi said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. Next, Lanzhou was used as the place to spread Buddhism to the Western Regions, and Kaiyuan City was used as the place to spread Taoism to the northeast. You instructed people to pay attention to all the great temples and temples in the Central Plains that did not participate in the mission, and they should write them down and tell me. If you dare to disobey the temple and the dojo, I must let them know the price. ā€

Zhu Yuanzhang's system for Buddhism and Taoism is actually very strict. People under the age of 40 are not allowed to become monks or give degrees, and there can only be one temple and Taoist hall in a county, and the number of people must not exceed 20, the number of people in the state city shall not exceed 30, and the number of people in the prefecture city shall not exceed 40.

Similar to the Taishan faction, Shaolin Temple, Wudang faction and other large factions with a large number of people are specially approved by Zhu Yuanzhang himself; Like Jiuhua Mountain, Wutai Mountain, and Emei Mountain, this kind of Buddhist holy place where many Buddhist temples are gathered, is also specially approved by Zhu Yuanzhang. And Zhu Yuanzhang also asked all monks and Taoist priests who wanted to obtain the degree to enter Beijing for the examination, and those who failed to pass the examination were not given.

Although in practice, various temples and Taoist temples will find ways to circumvent Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, such as obtaining children through various means, and then raising them in the temple from an early age, and lying about their age when they are in their thirties. But this is just a matter of whether there is anyone to check, if you really check which temple Taoist temple can't find out something?

Yun Xi has already decided to deal with a batch of these temples and Taoist temples that he, Shang Bing, and Zhu Song have greeted if there are disobedient ones.

"This matter is not very urgent, according to the speed of their work, it will take three or four months to make the trip. It's just that I'm afraid I'll forget, so I'll tell you now. ā€

Qin Song still said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ā€

Yun Xi remembered something again at this time, and said: "There is something I almost forgot, but it has nothing to do with Jinyiwei. You take a pen and paper and draw up a purpose. ā€

Qin Song immediately picked up the pen and paper. Yun Xi said: "I hereby order Pingliang, Shenyang, Nanyang, Anlu, Luoyang, to stop building the palace." Then Yun Xi said to Qin Song: "When you go out later, hand this to Wang Xi, and ask him to send it to the Zhongshu Department, and then come to me to stamp the jade seal with a formal will." ā€

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, he canonized all his sons as kings, and selected fiefs, and then divided into two batches in the 24th year of Hongwu and the 28th year of Hongwu to order the princes who had not yet been crowned to build palaces in advance.

The above places are all comfortable places in the interior, Shenyang is closer to the border, but there is Zhu Song in the north, who has just been renamed the British king, so there is no need for a prince.

Yun Xi has now withdrawn the seal at will without giving him a place to arrange it, but this kind of unsealed will not let him go and seal it.

Then Yunxi asked, "What's going on in the city these days?" ā€

Qin Song said: "Recently, there is nothing major in the capital except for the affairs in the court, it is ......."

Yun Xi saw that he was talking and smiled: "What is the matter?" Something to do with me? ā€

Qin Song seemed to be risking his head, and said: "Your Majesty, because Your Majesty has made several good poems before, and is considered to be the master of poetry in the world; And after the death of the first emperor this time, His Majesty did not mourn the first emperor's poems, some literati, some literati, said that His Majesty was not very filial to the first emperor. ā€

When Yun Xi heard that this was the case, he was tired of these Wenchen who had nothing to do, and at the same time, he was quite helpless. Of course, he was very sad about the death of the first emperor, after all, he had been together for six years. But he just couldn't remember the poems that mourned his elders, and he clearly remembered reading a few poems of mourning.

If you do it yourself, the level is too far from the previous one, so it's better not to do it; Find someone to ghostwrite, in case someone reveals it, it will be even more doomed.

After Qin Song finished talking about things, he immediately added: "But this is only part of the boring Wenchen's statement. Most of the Wenchen still felt that His Majesty wanted to make the best poems for Emperor Taizu, so no poems have been handed down so far. ā€

"Your Majesty, do you need me to collect evidence of the crimes of these civil servants, and then punish them?"

Yun Xi waved his hand and said: "It's just a boring statement of the sour and rotten Wenchen, it's not good to deal with these people, let them go." ā€

After finishing the matter, Yun Xi has always been a close minister who has been enveloping him from all aspects, so he chatted with Qin Song at this time. Yun Xi said, "Your son is seven months old. ā€

Qin Song said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's been more than seven months. ā€

"Can you climb?"

"Not yet, I can only move on one leg at a time, so I've been spinning in place, and there are always things like him trying to crawl towards me, and then getting further and further backwards." When Qin Song mentioned the child, he had a belly to say.

Yun Xi is not like Qin Song, who talks about his children whenever he mentions them. may be because Yun Xi's children are all taken care of by subordinates, and he just goes to see it sometimes; And although Qin Song's family is now in a good family, it is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty after all, and Qin Song has more time to meet with his children.

So Yun Xi said a few words and was speechless. He hurriedly moved on to other topics, and then talked to Qin Song for a while before letting him go.
