Chapter 215: Agrarian Reform
In the afternoon of the next day, Gao Junshan summoned his Chongwen disciples in the imperial dining room, and only Chongwen disciples.
After leaving Beijing for a year and a half, he wanted to check the level of knowledge of the leading figures of Chongwen Academy, whether there were any cognitive deviations, and if so, they must be corrected immediately.
The so-called cognitive bias, such as the example of a perpetual motion machine, is an imaginary machine that does not require external input of energy, energy, or can constantly move and do work under the condition of only one heat source. Historically, people have been keen to study perpetual motion machines, including academics such as Leonardo da Vinci and Joule. However, after the establishment of the thermodynamic system, people proved through rigorous logic that the perpetual motion machine violated the basic principles of thermodynamics.
Gao Junshan instilled in his disciples scientific and systematic theoretical knowledge, and every time he discussed knowledge with them, he was able to give them new knowledge points, so as to guide them to gradually climb to the peak of science.
Because there are nearly 100,000 Chongwen disciples now, it is impossible for him to summon every disciple, so he can only summon a group of top people, including top talents in science and technology, engineering, teaching and other industries.
This summoning is gradual, little by little.
Therefore, it took a month just to summon his Chongwen disciples, and he was busy until midnight every day before going to bed.
On this day, Bailisha took the initiative to come to the Heart Hall to meet Gao Junshan.
"Mao Cheng, what's the important thing to see me today?" Gao Junshan asked.
Bailisha replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Wu Da has another impeachment." ”
"Is this the same Wu Da who impeached Feng Quan last time?"
"Exactly."
Gao Junshan asked, "Who did he impeach today?" ”
Bailisha replied: "Your Majesty, Wu Da impeached Your Majesty today. ”
"Impeachment of me?"
"Exactly."
"What did he say?"
Bailisha replied: "Impeaching Your Majesty and returning to the capital will not go to court, ignoring the century-old plan of the Huaxia Kingdom, and ignoring the suffering of the people in the world without asking." Waste state affairs and slack off government affairs. ”
Gao Junshan said with a smile: "This old Mr. Wu is really interesting, he really thinks that the world will be peaceful after the last dynasty?" You tell him that Lao Tzu doesn't like him, how much does he like it. ”
Bailisha persuaded: "Your Majesty, these people are all officials of the imperial court, and it is better for you to respond positively to their impeachment." ”
Gao Junshan said unhappily: "So I have to be at the mercy of them, and I can only be considered a good emperor if I sit in the court every day?" ”
Bailisha said: "Your Majesty is angry, and the courtiers are also thinking about the society. ”
Gao Junshan said: "You just tell them that I am unwell and it is inconvenient to go to court." ”
"Yes!"
"You invite Niu Jinxing, and we will study the regulations on the removal of complicated and simple official etiquette, so as to save a lot of delay in getting down to business when we meet."
Bailisha said: "The etiquette of the ancestors ......"
"Who is the ancestor?" Gao Junshan asked Bailisha dissatisfied, "Do you want to learn from those relics of the Ming Dynasty?" Recognize the former dynasty as an ancestor? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Gao Junshan said: "You call Niu Jinxing to wait for me in the Wenhua Palace, and I will come to see you after I change my clothes." ”
"Yes!" Thysa exited the Imperial Dining Room.
Gao Junshan usually summons his subordinates in the imperial dining room, because it is not a formal occasion, so he is wearing empty loose civilian clothes, if he goes to the Wenhua Palace, it is equivalent to officially going to the court to work, he can't dress too casually, so he called Sun Kewang to help him change into a dragon robe.
Mandarin Palace.
Gao Junshan put on a dragon robe and entered the Wenhua Palace, and saw that Bailisha and Niu Jinxing were already waiting here, and Niu Jinxing's rite department was not far from the Wenhua Palace, so Niu Jinxing came soon after receiving the imperial order.
Gao Junshan walked up to the dragon platform step by step, and did it on the dragon chair, and the two important ministers bowed three times and bowed nine times in front of him, full of "Long live my emperor, long live".
After these etiquettes passed, Gao Junshan waved his hand and said, "No courtesy!" ”
Gao Junshan thought to himself, he is still exempt from courtesy, everyone has already done the big gifts, and he is still exempt from courtesy, isn't this nonsense? Let's just say that the word flat will kill people?
After the two important ministers got up, Gao Junshan gave them another seat, and they finished tossing and officially had a good conversation with Gao Junshan.
Gao Junshan said: "Please come to the two of you to discuss, can these cumbersome etiquettes in the officialdom be simplified?" You see, your etiquette has been delayed for twenty minutes. ”
Niu Jinxing said: "The emperor is the supreme ruler of the country, and the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to etiquette in order to show the world the legitimacy of becoming the emperor and highlight their supremacy. ”
Gao Junshan told them that these etiquettes were all formalism, so they could be simplified, and he ordered Niu Jinxing's etiquette department to reformulate a new set of simple meeting etiquette.
Niu Jinxing saw that Gao Junshan was so serious, he dared to disobey his fate?
However, Gao Junshan still recognizes Niu Jinxing's work since he served as the head of the household, especially on the issue of receiving the Rakshasa Kingdom, Niu Jinxing has done a very good job.
Next, Gao Junshan made it easier for the two of them to discuss land policy, and he wanted to see what Bailisha and Niu Jinxing thought about the current land policy of the peasants.
Bailisha believes that since he took power, except for the confiscation of abandoned land for state ownership, there has been no redistribution of land in the previous dynasties, so that the original landowners have become the biggest beneficiaries of the Huaxia state, and although the tax reduction policy has been implemented, the peasants have not been lifted out of poverty, and the landless peasants are still living in poverty.
Niu Jinxing believes that the current commercial policy has dealt a great blow to the scholars, and in the previous dynasties, they did not have to pay taxes when they engaged in commercial and trade activities, but now the scholars engaged in commercial activities are treated equally with those low-level merchants, and all commodity transactions must pay taxes.
Gao Junshan firmly believes that the country's taxes are equal for everyone, and no one has the right to be exempted, even if Gao Junshan makes money from doing business, he must also pay taxes to the state, which is the obligation of every person in Huaxia. If anyone refuses to pay taxes, he is an enemy of the Huaxia State, and he must be resolutely cracked down, and this point must be fully publicized among the scholars.
For the landless peasants, Gao Junshan has his own plans, but for the wealthy families who have land, Gao Junshan put forward an opinion to limit their development.
"We don't bother with the fact that the landowners have made a big profit. If they develop well, it will also be beneficial to the country, and they can hand over more grain for the country. But we encourage them to grow, not to let them develop freely. At this point, he paused, in order to attract the attention of Bailisha and Niu Jinxing, "I propose that the number of private property of all peasants who own land should not exceed one hundred acres per person, and that the state shall acquire land beyond this number at a high price." In this way, the peasants are encouraged to develop and at the same time they are restricted. ”
Bailisha said: "The number of 100 acres per person is easy to set, but the number of people in each family is not a fixed number, and it can even cheat, so I think it is difficult to implement the setting of not exceeding 100 acres of land per person, and if it is changed to 100 acres of land per household, things will be much easier." ”
Gao Junshan shook his head and said: "If each household only has 100 acres of land, it must be unrealistic, this involves too wide, I still insist on the limit of 100 acres per person, as for how to implement it, I will bother you to study it carefully." ”
Niu Jinxing asked: "Your Majesty, you just said that there are also measures for landless peasants, I don't know what measures?" ”
