After Sun Chengzong saw what Xu Yunzhen presented to the emperor, he was also frowning and was silent for a long time.

This cabinet meeting convened by the emperor fell into a silent stalemate.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at everyone and said slowly: "There is no hatred for no reason in this world, and there is no love for no reason.

"Qing and others are all ministers of my shares, and I am relying on Qing and others to govern the country, since I have spoken today, I will say a few more words with Qing and others.

"Whether it's bandits or thieves, why are you rebelling, the court, and you?! Not without reason!

"And what is the reason for this, Qing and the others will think about it, but I can tell Qing and the others that it is definitely not that they are born to rebel!"

After Emperor Chongzhen said these words, he also sighed, looked at the people who were still silent, and then said:

"At a time when the country is in turmoil, I will not easily change the clan feudal system unless it is absolutely necessary.

"I have summoned you here today, in addition to giving a gift to the Acting Domain and the British Prince, and other mourning honors, mainly through this matter related to the clan and meritorious heroes, to discuss the inheritance of the Acting Domain and the British Prince!"

When everyone saw that the emperor suddenly became depressed and had such a low profile, their hearts were gloomy.

No one wants to change as much as they want, but these people are all veterans who have gone through the four dynasties, and they are no longer the kind of stunned young people who guide the country and promote the text when they enter and leave the official career, completely ignoring the gains and losses.

Xu Guangqi, who had been sitting on the seat and had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty! Since His Majesty asked about the affairs of the clan and other matters a few days ago, for more than two months, the minister has often thought about how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty is worried about this today, and the minister really can't bear to sit still and be indifferent! As the so-called lord worries about the humiliation of the minister, the lord humiliates the minister to death, and the minister is fortunate to have a foolishness, dare not to dedicate it to His Majesty! ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally gloomy, heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed brightly, knowing that Li Guoyi, Sun Chengzong and others may have lost their ambition for many years, but Xu Guangqi is old and strong, and he still has a sharp spirit.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi, who had gray hair, and only heard him say: "Although the clan system affects the whole body, it must not be easily reformed and reformed with great fanfare, which Your Majesty agrees with, and the ministers also agree!"

"However, the imperial court must not make a big move, but it does not mean that our ministers just sit idly by and watch nothing!

"On the contrary, if Your Majesty can peel off the cocoon step by step, and break through each one with inducements, and even endure the temperament, for a period of ten or twenty years, it will inevitably achieve remarkable results over time."

When Xu Guangqi said this, he obviously brought Li Guoyi, Sun Chengzong and others in, maybe he really couldn't get used to the old Cheng Cheng of these people.

Emperor Chongzhen continued to listen patiently, only to hear Xu Guangqi continue: "As for solving the problem of the excessive burden on the children of the clan, the ministers have thought about it, and there are not many quick-acting moves, but there are also many long-term moves.

"Inspired by His Majesty's previous benevolence to the clan, the minister thinks that the strategy to alleviate the burden of the clan is only five types: lifting the ban, sealing the land, converting the silver, moving the domain, and removing the lord!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen knew that Xu Guangqi had really seriously considered the problem he had raised to him before, and he should have really found a way to solve the problem, so he said to him:

"I already know the method of lifting the ban, Xu Ge Lao doesn't need much, just talk in detail about the four strategies of sealing the land, folding silver, moving the domain, and removing the lord!"

Li Guoyi and Sun Chengzong hadn't thought much about this problem before, and when the emperor suddenly threw it out, he instinctively felt that this problem was more sensitive, more dangerous, and couldn't be easily touched, so he had to stop it first and take a look at it first.

Now that I saw that Xu Guangqi actually put forward five strategies at once, I suddenly felt that I was really old and useless, and whether I was really exhausted.

I only heard Xu Guangqi continue: "Sealing the soil is sealing the solid soil." Your Majesty, the first assistant, and the second assistant should now know that the world outside the emperor's territory is vast and boundless!

"In the past, my emperor did not take it, either because of its long distance, the imperial court decree was beyond the reach of the whip, or because it was deserted and barren, the court took more than worth the loss!

"Today is different, the Taixi Yiyi are coming, the emperor does not take it, the Yi people will take it, rather than giving it to the Yi people, it is better to give it to the descendants of Taizu!

"After accepting the feudal land and establishing a domain, all the feudal domains are self-reliant, the imperial court does not give Lu rice, and the local land does not keep the land, so that the burden in the Huangming domain is reduced and the people are relieved!"

After Xu Guangqi finished saying this, he looked at the emperor and the people, and saw that the emperor and everyone were nodding silently, listening to him, he continued:

"Folding silver is discounting silver. Since the imperial court does not have enough rice, and the imperial court has the initiative of banks and silver yuan, why not refer to the law of the new meritorious hero Shijue to give Lu rice to the annual silver yuan?

"Although the minister is in the Ministry of Rites, he also knows that the silver yuan made by the coinage factories of the Baoyuan General Bureau of the Ministry of Household is especially beneficial to the imperial court compared to the silver two, and it is more advantageous than the payment of rice.

"If the bank pays for the silver dome for the rice, it not only saves the loss of upper and lower turnover, but also facilitates the travel between the imperial court and the local government!"

After Xu Guangqi finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen and everyone nodded in acquiescence.

Although these ideas are still very rough and require careful consideration and formulation of detailed rules by the household department, the ideas themselves are very insightful.

After saying these words, Xu Guangqi saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not interrupt him, so he continued: "As for the issue of moving the domain, the minister thinks that the imperial court has a precedent to follow.

"The fiefs of the King of Liao, the King of Ning, and the King of Gu were all in the fortress, and later moved to the interior. Although they have all been removed now, this precedent is a ready-made strategy!

"The minister thought that since he could move to the interior of the domain due to the war outside the border, he should move back to the border in the future, such as the line of King Shen and the line of King Su.

"As for the other vassal states, they can increase the benefits of increasing the land of the vassal and move the vassal by virtue of their own volition, and if there are those who are willing to move the Tibetan land of Wusi, it is not impossible to make the prince of the county king Jin and make it a country of thousands of miles.

"In addition, newly opened lands such as Hezhong, Yingzhou, and Dongfan are not impossible for one or two clan vassals to move to other places!"

After Xu Guangqi said these words, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen also looked at him at this time, nodded, and said to him:

"Xu Ge has learned from China and the West, has a broad vision, and today's words are extraordinary, which is exactly what the minister of the country should say!

"I knew that the land outside the Emperor's Ming domain was vast and boundless, the north stopped at the North Pole, and the south stopped at the ocean.

"The descendants of Taizu have so far multiplied in the domain to the point of 100,000, if all of them are crowded in the domain, they all rely on the imperial court to support, and after decades or even more than a hundred years, the number is difficult for any one dynasty to bear!

"Xu Ge Lao's meaning, I really think it is true in my heart! Let's wait for the future to do it slowly! ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi, and then said: "As for the removal of the lord, what does Xu Ge Lao mean?" ”

Before Xu Guangqi said these words, he was actually most worried about the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him, who only cared about his own throne and all kinds of vigilance against the children of the clan, and therefore would not approve of the strategies he proposed such as sealing the land and moving the domain, and even had suspicion of himself.

At this time, he saw that the emperor was the first to approve of this most daring strategy of splitting the earth and sealing the extraterritoriality, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and he continued to talk eloquently:

"As for the removal of the lord, it is not innocent and the prince and the prince of the county are also removed. Among the ministers, although there are many princes and county kings, the one who eats the most lords among the children of the clan is not the prince and county king, but the general of the town and even the lieutenant of Fengguo. Among them, the most are the lieutenants of Fengguo!

"Huang Ming customized, the clan is divided into eight ranks, until the lieutenant of Fengguo, the eldest son of the prince is the prince, the remaining sons are all county kings, the eldest son of the county prince is the county king, and the remaining sons are all Zhenguo generals, to the lieutenant of Fengguo, the scale is still huge, and the sons of the lieutenant of Fengguo can not be reduced, they are all lieutenants of Fengguo!

"This point is the first crux of the overburden of the Huangming clan! If the lieutenant of Fengguo is removed after the knight, and if the lieutenant of Fengguo has meritorious service to the imperial court, he can also be promoted to auxiliary state, town country and even county king and prince, then this crux can be eliminated in one fell swoop! ”

Xu Guangqi explained these strategies one by one, and listened to Emperor Chongzhen and everyone present nodding frequently.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, looked at the imperial attendants, military attachés, ministers, Zhongshu and military aircraft people standing in the palace, and said coldly:

"Today, all the things that the elder and I said are not allowed to be passed on!"

After Emperor Chongzhen said this, a group of imperial attendants, military attachés, ministers, scholars and military personnel standing in the palace knelt on the ground and received the decree in unison.
