Chongzhen didn't let Yang Qing wait for a long time, and Lao Wang slipped to Uncle Zhongyong's mansion that night.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Lao Wang asked directly.

"Duke, what is the problem with Daming to this day?

Is it that Your Majesty is not diligent in government and loves the people?

I think you know this better than anyone else, compared with the first emperor, our majesty is not too much to describe conscientiousness, compared with Emperor Shenzong, His Majesty is simply a model for those ministers to say that the Holy Lord Mingjun, but why when Emperor Shenzong, I was in the Ming Dynasty, Dongping, the Japanese invaded the south, Banzhou, Xiding, Ningxia, although the first emperor had Liaodong Jiannu as a trouble, but the world was still peaceful, and in the hands of our Majesty, the world was in chaos, and even Beijing was not guaranteed?

Very simple.

Your Majesty has no money!

Emperor Shenzong was rich, because Zhang Juzheng left Emperor Shenzong a rich family.

This family is rich enough to support the three major signs.

The first emperor was rich.

Because Wei Zhongxian was able to get money for the first emperor.

The more ruthless the ministers scolded him, the more useful he was to the first emperor.

And if you have money, you can say anything, the army can fight if you have food and salary, and those who are soldiers only have one requirement, and if they can eat enough, their wives and children will not starve to death if they die in battle, which is enough for them to fight bravely to kill the enemy, otherwise they will collapse at the touch of a button. It is also very simple for the hungry people to make trouble, the imperial court took out money and grain for disaster relief, if there were hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the northwest back then, even if some rice soup was boiled for those hungry people, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would not be produced, what is so terrible about natural disasters? The drought in the northwest can't produce food, so organize them to immigrate to Sichuan, how many people did Sichuan have in the Song Dynasty? At this time, how many people did I have in Sichuan? The entire population of Shaanxi has been moved to Sichuan, and the land can be accommodated.

So will there still be rogues?

But His Majesty has no money.

Zhang Juzheng's whipping method was corrupted by those corrupt officials, and His Majesty did not have a Wei Zhongxian who could exploit the officials and gentry for the treasury.

Who are the people around Your Majesty?

It was the Gongun princes who taught His Majesty to raise taxes to the poor and not to compete with the people for profits and reduce commercial taxes, but what was the result? The increase in taxes on the poor made the thieves swarm all over the wilderness, and the result of the low collection of business taxes was that His Majesty could not borrow 200,000 taels, and Li Zicheng copied a rich man in a poor province and a poor state to copy out 2 million, and the wealth of the Jin merchants in Yangzhou alone was twice the income of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the past.

So what now?

Has Daming changed?

No.

Da Ming has not changed anything, it is still the same as in the past, at most His Majesty has some money without roots in his hands, but the only value of these money is to make Da Ming breathe a sigh of relief, and Da Ming is still a sick and dying body, if you want Da Ming to really come back to life, you must get a dose of fierce medicine. Reform, get rid of those unreasonable things, and make a bright future, so that Your Majesty can reproduce a glorious and prosperous era in his hands, even if it is necessary to take some extraordinary measures, even if it requires bloodshed, there has been a bloody reform since ancient times. ”

Yang Qing said very impassionedly.

"Your Majesty wants to be the Holy Lord Mingjun, not what a thousand people refer to!"

Wang Chengen said angrily.

"Which husband? Gentry or pauper? ”

Yang Qing said.

"But after all, Your Majesty rules the world with scholars."

Wang Chengen said.

"Wrong, the world is the world of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is the Lord of all peoples. What's the use of those scholars calling Holy Lord Mingjun? If you change an emperor, whether you are a foreign race or a thief, they will still shout like this, don't you hear them shout Li Zicheng like this on Chengtianmen? What Your Majesty needs is to let all the people in the world shout the Holy Lord Mingjun, at that time it is the real Holy Lord Mingjun, otherwise it is fake, at the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the princes of Gon Gon shouted like this, and as a result, after shouting for seventeen years, His Majesty went from Beijing to Nanjing.

The common people all call the Holy Lord Mingjun, that is the real Holy Lord Mingjun.

Otherwise, that's what it is now.

Li Zicheng and his henchmen who rebelled against hunger and cold, no one shouted any Holy Lord Mingjun, if they also regarded His Majesty as the Holy Lord Mingjun back then, then how could they rebel? ”

Yang Qing said.

Wang Chengen was silent.

It was clear that his mind was still a little overwhelmed.

However, these things are indeed a bit beyond the scope of his understanding, the people of this era do not have this progressive worldview, the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together, and the latter represents the herdsmen of the sky, this is the worldview of the people of this era, it is still a bit exaggerated to raise the mud legs to a level with the gentry, even if those thinkers only call the gentry and the monarch a level, Yang Qing has not said that the mud legs and the monarch are actually a level, otherwise Wang Chengen should be angry at this time to reprimand his great rebellion.

The change of mind is always the hardest.

Fortunately, the situation at this time did give Yang Qing a powerful help, and the holy lord Mingjun who was shouted by the gentry was driven south by the people who shouted that he was fainting, and Chongzhen should have felt deeply about this problem.

In this way, the idea can be infiltrated.

Yang Qing hadn't paid much attention to Chongzhen's ideological progress until now, and he was going to start in this regard.

First of all, with the impact of Chongzhen's catastrophe in Beijing, let him raise the people to the same level as the gentry ideologically, which is not very difficult, Chongzhen only cares about whether he is above the people, but he will not care too much about who is higher and who is lower between the gentry and the people. Moreover, the princes of Gon did like to confuse themselves with the people, for example, accusing the emperor of competing with the people, they would not say that the emperor was competing with the gentry for profit, so that Chongzhen's thinking would be completely changed, and let him establish the concept that his subjects were all equal. He satisfies the gentry's demands and makes them call themselves the Holy Lord Mingjun, but the poor people are enraged, and Li Zicheng runs to Beijing to drive him out.

As long as Chongzhen establishes such a principle in his thoughts, then Yang Qing can carry out the next step of reform.

The Four Elder Brother's Law is just the beginning.

This is also useless, the fourth elder brother died and then was played badly, and then the middle of the ten perfect old dog was a rebellion, and then the White Lotus Sect revolted as soon as the ten old dog died, and our Qing Dynasty basically collapsed, completely supported by those Han gentry, saying that the wisdom of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be said to be infinite in terms of playing a bad policy that is unfavorable to them, and the Dafa of the fourth elder brother is at best a continuation of a wave of life, and if you want to really change, you have to play more ruthlessly......

Gotta play land nationalization.

Or play Jia Xiangdao's set.

Public Field Law.

This is Yang Qing's ultimate goal.

Although Lao Jia is notorious, it must be understood that his Gongtian method is a great innovation in ancient China, even if he still fails.

But Yang Qing can still learn from it.

In the name of the emperor to recover all the land, and then under the banner of the royal government, the implementation of the equal land system to all the people, the latter does not need to pay the land but to the state to pay rent, of course, the slogan is to the emperor, the whole world, is not the king's land, all the land is the emperor's, all farmland is also the emperor's. Only the emperor rewarded, and there was no buying and selling of cultivated land, and each household had a Yongye field similar to the Tang Dynasty to ensure basic living needs, so there was no problem of land annexation, and the province that wanted to make a fortune from the land should be saved! Xungui can be sealed, if you want to make a fortune, you will develop to industry and commerce, and you still want to develop the colony if you want to be the landlord, and you can be considered a landlord if you like to open up as much wasteland as you like to go to the colony, but in the Ming Dynasty, it is the uniform land system.

As for the problem of having land and no one entering the factory......

Modern peasants have land, do they stop them from entering the factory?

This question is not a problem at all.

As long as they can get grain from outside, whether they buy it or grab it, in short, as long as they keep the food flowing in from outside, and suppress the local grain to a level where there is no other use than to fill their stomachs, and selling a stone of grain does not necessarily buy a sickle, those ordinary people will eventually go to the factories or join the ranks of small traders in pursuit of a better life.

As for the inability to compete with the industrial slaves of Europe......

The Ming Dynasty will not face the impact of European industrial products in the short term, it will only appear after the Industrial Revolution, and at this time, the silk tea and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is a seller's market, and there is no competition between the two sides at all, and the vast majority of the tea and porcelain sold by the Zheng family to Batavia are the most inferior goods, but even so, Europeans are still flocking to it, and there is no competition between the two sides at all.

Under the Juntian system, there are no worries about the tens of millions of homesteaders in the Ming Dynasty, and they will solve this problem from the root before European industrial products threaten China, and with Yang Qing, who is familiar with the industrial development of the original history, the industrial technology of the Ming Dynasty will definitely surpass Europe.

Isn't it a steam engine?

At this time, Yang Qing really couldn't build a steam engine, but he didn't believe that after twenty years of tossing, he couldn't build this kind of rudimentary machinery.

How was Watt's original steam engine cylinder made? Boring machine? No, it's a small hammer that is wrapped in a latte plate wrapped in a processed log segment and knocked out little by little! And it's an iron plate, anyway, it can't be said to be a steel plate, it's the kind that Yang Qing is refining by his current practice, in fact, he can't say that he can't settle the steel or iron, until 1850, before the invention of the Bessemer converter, the steel of Europeans was this! And how is Watt's steam engine sealed? Rubber seals? Wrong, it's Tama's hemp rope, you read that right, it's the hemp rope that seals the cylinder! If he couldn't build such a rudimentary machine after twenty years of hard work, then he would simply suffocate to death in his round chest!

As long as it enters the steam age, no matter how the Ming economy is played, it will crush the whole world.

Lao Wang was silent for a few minutes, and he could see that his mood was also quite heavy, of course he wouldn't know that Yang Qingzheng was premeditated to lead Chongzhen to go farther and farther on the road of the faint king, and although the guy in front of him was open-mouthed, what he said was indeed the truth, but it was a little too direct and too unscrupulous, such as washing the floor for Wei Zhongxian, saying that Chongzhen was just thinking about it in his heart, but ......

This is not rude!

He let out a long sigh and stood up.

"You're doing it yourself!"

He said gloomily.

"Governor, please rest assured, although I am a bit bold and reckless, it seems that there has been no problem so far!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.
