For this kind of guarantee, Emperor Chongzhen is very willing to give, after all, for Emperor Chongzhen, as long as the courtiers do things for themselves, it is still necessary to ensure their safety. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for the things that the ministers attacked, Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't care very much.

What kind of embezzlement of public funds, cronyism, etc., could it be that before Li Banghua, there was no embezzlement of public funds in Beijing? Is there no cronyism? This is impossible, and it will only be more serious than Li Banghua and Lu Xiangsheng, and Emperor Chongzhen still trusts Li Banghua very much.

However, Li Banghua's worries are not unreasonable, Li Banghua in history was planted on this, and he was full of ambition to serve the country, but he had no way to stretch it.

When Huang Taiji attacked Beijing, some artillerymen accidentally injured Mangui's soldiers, and Li Banghua became the target of public criticism at once, and there were many excerpts to impeach Li Banghua, and the reason for this was not that Li Banghua was too independent of the party struggle, and that he offended a large number of people by clearing the Beijing camp.

It is not surprising that such a person was attacked by a group, Li Banghua was naturally dismissed by Emperor Chongzhen and went home, and he has not been reinstated for more than 20 years.

After an official is demoted, no one speaks for him, no one protects him, obviously this is a lonely minister. Such a courtier is definitely a treasure to the emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen in this life will definitely not let Li Banghua stay at home for more than 20 years.

"Don't worry, I know it!" Emperor Chongzhen's gaze swept over Lu Xiangsheng and Li Banghua, and said solemnly.

The emperor said here, that is, the most severe, it is impossible to say anything else, and both of them understand. Seeing that everything was almost done, the two of them took their leave, left the palace, and continued to be busy with their affairs.

Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched, the new army has already become an army, although it has not yet experienced the war, but it is time to do things on its own. Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen, and asked lightly: "The little eunuch who asked you to prepare, are you ready?" ”

"Back to the emperor, twenty little eunuchs, all ready!" Wang Chengen nodded and said quickly.

"Tell me!" Taking the tea handed over by Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen took a sip lightly and said with a smile.

Wang Chengen nodded and said: "According to the emperor's instructions, the slaves and maids found the little eunuchs are all literate and hyphenated, some have even farmed, and some even know a little arithmetic. After this period of cultivation, there is no problem in measuring the land. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, it would be the best in this way, how much land there is in Shuntian Mansion, Emperor Chongzhen still wants to know very much in his heart.

"Xuan Cabinet University Scholar, Six Books of Shangshu Deliberations!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and directly ordered: "I want to talk to them about measuring the land, now they are too idle, I want to find something for them to do." ”

Looking for something to do? Wang Chengen's heart moved, knowing that the emperor was afraid that he was going to make a big move.

After bowing and saluting, Wang Chengen hurriedly turned around and walked out, since it was a big matter, Wang Chengen also wanted to delay.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was also ready to say the matter in the early dynasty, but the sudden attack may not have any effect, and now Emperor Chongzhen is ready to start with these people first, let them release the news, and then publicly announce it, anyway, it is now Qingzhang land, not to mention collecting taxes.

Before the spring ploughing begins, measure all the land, and then collect taxes in the fall.

Emperor Chongzhen is very clear about this point, and he has planned it for a long time, no matter who blocks it, Emperor Chongzhen plans to carry this matter forward in Shuntian Mansion this year.

Soon, several cabinet ministers and six ministers of the cabinet all arrived, and all of them were suspicious. Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, there are very few such convocations of ministers, and this time it is so sudden, it is still the first month, is there anything bad?

But as they are cabinet scholars, and there are six books, what can this country hide from them?

Could it be that the emperor has something to do? If it is really the emperor who has something to do, then it is really a bit troublesome, so exciting, what a big thing the emperor wants to do?

Shi Feng glanced at Huang Liji, the meaning was self-evident, and everyone had a tacit understanding.

As for Zhang Ruitu on the side, Shi Fenglai didn't give him a look, Zhang Ruitu was not even a wall grass. At least the grass on the wall is still swaying from side to side, this Zhang Ruitu will only meet him, and he has no opinions of his own at all, but he obeys his orders, which Shi Fenglai is very satisfied with.

Originally, in the cabinet, although everyone also had fights, they were all internal, and everyone still had a tacit understanding externally.

It's just that although the emperor hasn't done anything to the cabinet now, Wei Zhongxian's fall, everyone has no leader, no one is convinced, and things are really difficult to do.

Glancing at Sun Chengzong on the side, he looked like the old Shen Shen was there, and Shi Fenglai's heart was tired. The blind can see that this man is obviously waiting, waiting for his own people to give way, and then he can enter the cabinet.

Sun Chengzong was originally a cabinet veteran and a teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but this time he was reinstated and did not go straight to the cabinet, which has surprised many people.

But everyone knows that this one will definitely not wait too long, everyone knows it. One of the most worried is that Shi Feng is here, with Sun Chengzong's qualifications, the first assistant of the cabinet has no problems at all, and his position is also the most precarious.

Although Huang Liji looks like he is self-leading, who knows what he thinks in his heart? It's not been a day or two since he's been staring at his position.

There is also the one who came to Zongdao, and he is not a good character, Shi Fenglai can't help but have a headache. Thinking of what he said to Li Kuilong years ago, Shi Fenglai gradually retreated in his heart, and now he is leaving, so that he can be guaranteed in the evening!

Look at what the emperor said, Shi Fenglai made a plan in his heart, if he didn't work, he would retreat, but he seemed much calmer.

The six ministers also looked at these cabinet ministers, and they were all thinking in their hearts, although there were not many people, but they definitely had a lot of thoughts.

When Emperor Chongzhen walked out, these people hurriedly knelt down and saluted, waved their hands, and signaled them to be exempt, Emperor Chongzhen sighed in his heart, these people are the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the most powerful people in the whole world.

His gaze swept over their faces one by one, and Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "I came to you Aiqing today because I have something to discuss with you!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and there was no surprise on their faces, for Emperor Chongzhen to summon everyone, they had already prepared in their hearts.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and continued: "Before I prepare for spring ploughing, I will clear the land of the entire Shuntian Mansion from the new level, whether it is the nobles or the people, and even my imperial village, all of them must be cleared and re-registered. ”

The people below were stunned, Qingzhang land? Sure enough, it's a big deal, and it's the land of everyone in Qingzhang.

Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, but no one in the hall spoke, and they were all digesting the emperor's words.

After being silent for a long time, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, stood up first, after all, the land of Qingzhang was related to the household department, and he had to stand up and speak: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear, what is the so-called matter of the emperor's land and Qingzhang?" Is it just trying to figure out how much land there is in Suncheonbo? ”

Guo Yunhou's question was asked to the point, Qingzhang land is not a big deal, the problem is the next thing, what is the emperor going to do?

All the individuals present were well-educated people, who had read through the subset of scriptures and history, and had a very good understanding of many things in history. What does Qingzhang land represent, they know better than anything else, it represents reform! Every time the land is cleared, it is not simple, and there must be big things happening.

The closest to everyone is Zhang Juzheng! In the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng took Fujian as a pilot to clear the fields, and the result was that "the Fujian people thought it was convenient". Therefore, in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng was allowed to carry out the land of Qingzhang in succession across the country, and on this basis, he redrew the fish scale atlas.

In most parts of the country, the fields were carefully cleared according to the "Qingzhang Regulations" promulgated by the Ministry of Households, but there were also some local officials who shortened their lunges and sought merit with overflows. For example, Zhejiang Haiyan "water edge grass trench, exhaust the empty bow, ancient mound barren, all from the actual tax." As for Tian Lianqian's strangers, they are full of bribes, wise enough to commit rape, and move east to west, so as to trust him. There are even fields that have not tasted the bow, and the people who have drawn fans have accumulated inches and inches, and they are all private cellars. So that the number of acres of homes, more and more, and the fields more narrow. ”

However, due to the thorough clearance of most prefectures and counties, Gehao was hidden on the right, and the number of fields increased greatly.

After clearing the fields, Zhang Juzheng threw out his own whip law to change the tax system.

Now Emperor Chongzhen also wants to clear the land, obviously there is a strategy behind it, it is impossible to clear the zhang after the end, everyone knows this! After Guo Yunhou's question was asked, everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not hide it anymore, and said directly: "The treasury is empty, the people are suffering, and the levy of Liao salary has made the people unable to make ends meet, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many complaints." But there is still no silver in the treasury, the border army is short of salaries, and the officials are in arrears, and I am very anxious! ”

"Zhang Juzheng's reform now seems to be fruitful, the Ming treasury from the Jiajing period to the Wanli period of the treasury abundant, so that the Ming Dynasty has a prosperous appearance." Emperor Chongzhen paused for a moment and continued, "I am ready to follow the new policy of the Wanli period and implement a new tax system. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly sighed in their hearts, and sure enough, they couldn't help but communicate with each other.

Oppose? There is no good reason for a while, after all, the effect of Zhang Juzheng's reform is there. If you have to attack, it's not that there is no way, and you are finding out the reason for attacking Zhang Juzheng, what kind of green seedling method or something, but now that you talk about it, it seems a little empty!
