In the palace, since the emperor has set the tone, the ministers have to work out a general strategy regardless of whether they support it or not.

The emperor saw several scholars and discussed for a day, but it was getting late, so he announced his retirement from the court, and came back tomorrow to come up with specific measures and promulgate and implement them.

The eunuch Pang Tianshou actually sang: "Retreat from the dynasty~"

Wang Yan and the ministers bowed down and retreated outside the store, at this time Emperor Longwu pondered for a while, and when Wang Yan was about to withdraw from the main hall, Longwu suddenly said: "Wang Qing and stay, I still have something to discuss with the Qing family!" ”

Wang Yan stopped when he heard this, and then moved to the side hall with Long Wu, and during the whole process, Long Wu did not say a word, with Wang Yan's understanding of the emperor, he knew that the emperor was obviously angered by the recital written by Hong Chengchou to Dolgon.

This twist and turn, Wang Yan obtained it through the Heaven and Earth Society hidden in Hong Chengchou's side, and Wang Yan was as angry as Emperor Longwu when he first saw it.

The ordinary people in the world do not have any loyal and patriotic thoughts at all, food is the hearts of the people in ancient times, especially the people in the north, life is relatively difficult, and they are afraid of being killed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court will settle down if they give some benefits.

When Guan Zhong was in harmony, Qi Huan said publicly, "Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing." ”

The people can't eat enough food, and they can't wear warm clothes, and it is nonsense to tell them about loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also basically the reason why after the Qing army entered the customs, there was little resistance in the north, but the resistance in the south of the Yangtze River was wave after wave, and the city was often martyred.

Emperor Longwu read the recital written by Hong Chengchou to the Qing court, and he knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had no ruling experience, was not terrible, but what was terrible was a Han thief like Hong Chengchou, who had governed the place and knew how to win the hearts of the people.

In addition to suggesting that the land of the Ming Dynasty's clan be distributed to the landless peasants, in dealing with the endless rebel armies in the south of the Yangtze River, he also suggested that the Qing court adopt a strategy of focusing on appeasement and supplemented by suppression, and then implement a series of measures to reduce the burden of the people and stimulate economic development, and also asked the Qing government to exempt money and grain, stop collecting transportation taxes, and other measures to stabilize Jiangnan.

Wang Yan knew that the Longwu court was facing a huge predicament at present, and the internal evils were accumulating and difficult to return, externally, there was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which occupied eight points of the world, in the east, there was the Lu Wang regime, which used to be at odds, in the south, there was the Netherlands, which wanted to monopolize trade with China, and in the northwest, there were Zhang Xianzhong and Gui Wang regimes.

This Minzhong Change, both militarily and politically, brought heavy blows to the Longwu Imperial Court, official losses, financial bankruptcy, which is equivalent to starting from scratch, and it is difficult for the Longwu Imperial Court to ease up within three years.

In the face of the current predicament, both Longwu and Wang Yan need great wisdom, and now Nanming is even such a place, if the Qing court implements Hong Chengchou's strategy, then the gap between Nanming and the Qing court will be farther and farther, how can Emperor Longwu not be anxious?

At this time, Wang Yan and Longwu came to the side hall, Longwu gave Wang Yan a seat, Wang Yan bowed and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" \u000b Wang Yan sat down, and Long Wu asked: "Hong Rebellion's excerpt, what do you feel after the Qing family sees it?" How should Daming deal with it? \u000b Wang Yan didn't expect the emperor to get straight to the point, and said in a deep voice: "Don't wait for death, change quickly and find death!" ”

Longwu's body trembled, he didn't expect Wang Yan, who insisted on changing the law, to say such words, but with Longwu's wisdom, he obviously understood that although Wang Yan's words were not good, they were telling the truth.

If you don't say anything else, let's talk about the land, the Qing court can kill half of the people first, and then take the land of the half of the people to alleviate the land contradictions, but the Ming Dynasty cannot, the land is in the hands of the gentry and the royal family, if the court wants to change the land policy, without the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there will be chaos inside.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that if there is no change, after a few years, both the economy and manpower will be pulled further and further away by the Qing court, and finally be completely dragged to death, rapid change, and internal chaos will be immediately chaotic, which is the difference between inside and outside the system.

Wang Yan and Long Wu are both people in the system, and it is far more difficult to change than those outside the system.

"Then don't I have a chance of winning?" Long Wu stared at Wang Yandao.

Wang Yan pondered and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, the rulers of the Qing court are cruel and unkind, and the ministers heard that the three laws of enclosing land, surrendering and fleeing into the three laws have made the people miserable, although Hong Chengchou has given Dolgon a twist, the Qing court may not adopt it, and the Qing soldiers are arrogant, and there are contradictions between the kings of Zhuyi, and the policy may not be able to be implemented thoroughly." Although my Ming Dynasty is now at a disadvantage, as long as the monarchs and ministers are single-minded, Xu Tu changes, and destroys the rule of the Qing court in Jiangnan and Beidi, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to recover the rivers and mountains. ”

Emperor Longwu sighed, "But I'm really anxious in my heart~ At present, the imperial court is only a commercial tax reform, which will drag on for a month, and other more difficult issues may not be changed in a few years." Aiqing said Xu Tu, how to draw it? ”

"Wuhou has a saying, for example, if a person is infected with scabies, he should first use porridge to drink it, and medicine to take it, wait for his intestines to be reconciled, and his body will gradually settle down, and then use meat to make up for it, and fierce medicine to cure it, then the root of the disease will be gone, and the person will have a whole life. If you don't wait for the qi to ease, you will use the strong smell of strong medicine and want security, which is difficult. Today, I have lost two shocks, living in the southwest, with an annual income of less than three million, just like when the disease was critical. Wang Yan said: "At present, the first change of business tax, so that the court has enough money, if there is money, the blood is alive, in the training of soldiers and horses, so that the four branches are strong, then the outside can want to strengthen the enemy, the inside can deter the small, so that the court is stable, then the disadvantages can be Xu Tu also!" ”

Long Wu nodded, "It seems that the key is still in the money, Aiqing has reformed the commercial tax, and is there any other way to get money for the imperial court." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he wanted to say something and stopped.

Seeing this, Long Wu immediately said: "What does Aiqing think, it's a big deal~"

"Your Majesty~" Wang Yan got up and bowed and said: "The reform of commercial taxation is only the method of open source, and the most important thing for the imperial court at the moment is indeed to throttle!" ”

"I and the empress's expenses in the future will be halved to save money for the imperial court and set an example." Long Wu nodded and said, "Where does Aiqing think it is necessary to throttle?" ”

Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Zongfan~"

The two major stubborn diseases of the Ming Dynasty were that they did not pay taxes due to their fame, and that they had more than 200,000 registered clans and hundreds of princes of the old Zhu family, which brought great harm and burden to the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

At present, the imperial court needs the support of the gentry class, so the interests of the gentry cannot be moved, so they can only pinch the soft persimmon and take the sect and the clan.

When Emperor Longwu heard this, his face changed, "How does Aiqing plan to reform?" ”

Wang Yan replied: "The prince will be reduced first, and each generation will decrease, the prince will be reduced to the county king, and the county king will be reduced to the auxiliary prince, so that it is not radical, and the number of princes can be reduced, and the burden on the court will be greatly reduced." ”

The prince of the Ming Dynasty can't be counted, if every time he is downgraded by one level, then after a few decades, the number of princes will suddenly drop from more than 100 to less than 10 digits, which is indeed a good strategy.

Long Wu frowned, but denied: "My status has been questioned by the clan, if this policy is implemented, the clan will inevitably switch to King Lu and King Gui, and the legitimacy of Emperor I will be questioned immediately." This strategy will never work. ”

Wang Yan explained: "This requires Your Majesty to reach a compromise with King Lu and King Gui. Since ancient times, the Jiangnan Dynasty, and against the strong enemy in the north, must be three major groups, lined up, respectively, Jianghuai, Jingchu, Sichuan Shu, at present, the imperial court is unable to meddle in the southeast and southwest, it is better to reach an agreement with the Lu and Gui domains, draw the land for the defense, and allow their autonomy in the southeast and southwest in exchange for their support for the reform of the imperial court. ”
