Li Chunfang has been honest all his life, and when he left, he really couldn't hold back and dug a small pit for Tang Yi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Originally, when he was clearing the acres of land, in order to reduce resistance, he just targeted the gentry group, but Li Chunfang also raised the problem of the clan.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, there were only a few people in the clan, and they couldn't consume three melons and two dates, but if they were two hundred years old today, the descendants of the old Zhu family multiplied, and the number of people increased.

Shen Mingchen asked for a piece of information from the Zongren Mansion, how many emperors and nobles are there at the moment? About 19,000 people, less than 20,000.

However, according to Shen Mingchen's calculations, the actual number of people is much more than this.

The main reason is that the clan is issued by the local government, some of them have nothing to do with the old Zhu family, and they also pretend to be royal relatives, and some have been demoted, have not attacked the lord, or are not the eldest son, and they also pretend to receive Lu rice.

Roughly speaking, this number should be around twenty-five thousand.

In the case of the lowest-ranking lieutenant of Fengguo, he was to give 200 stone of rice every year, and the prince of the highest rank was to give 50,000 stone of rice, 25,000 yuan of banknotes, 40 horses of brocade, 300 horses of silk, 100 horses of yarn and Luo, 500 horses of silk, 1,000 horses of winter and summer cloth, 2,000 taels of cotton, 200 taels of salt, and 1,000 catties of flowers.

In addition, horse fodder, fifty horses per month. Its satin, the year to the craftsman, pay the palace to make its own.

Lin Lin finally came down, a prince is almost going to eat a year's income of a medium mansion, and the consumption is so great that it is simply appalling!

Everyone knows that the clan is like a tumor in the Ming Dynasty, but the successive first assistants did not dare to move easily, at most they played some tricks on Lu Mi and converted it into treasure money.

If you take any further action, you will be said to be mean to the royal family, weak monarch's wings, ill-intentioned, and cruel to the sect...... They are all in the same vein of the heavenly family, they cry and make trouble, and no one as a minister can stand it.

"Alas, originally Qingzhang Tianmu offended people, and also pulled the clan in, when the royal relatives and nobles made trouble in the court, and the gentry and big families made trouble in the local area, it was really lively." Shen Mingchen lamented: "My lord, according to me, don't touch the clan for the time being, after all, reform can't make too many enemies, do you say yes?" ”

Wang Yin shook his head, "Juzhang, after all these years, your knowledge still hasn't grown, it's really worrying!" Wang Yin slapped the cigarette pouch and criticized mercilessly.

"The surname Wang, don't pretend to be a big clove of garlic if you have the ability, you have the ability to tell a Tao!"

"Just talk about it!" Wang Yin snorted the soot and sneered: "The clan not only enjoys the supply of rice from the imperial court, but also wantonly occupies the land and raises private thugs, which is a disaster for the place. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, wherever the clan is concentrated, the common people are miserable and complaining. The local gentry are a scourge to the people, but after all, they still care about the friendship of the same clan and fellow villagers, and leave three points for everything. But what about the children of the clan? They regard themselves as masters, take what they want, exploit them excessively, and harm countless people, and their evil forms and evil forms are known to the whole world. If I want to say that it is difficult to implement the acres of fields, the reason why it is difficult to implement is because I only dare to grasp the small, not the large. If the clan does not move, how can the gentry balance in their hearts? The law is unfair, how can it be implemented and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the power of the imperial court alone? To put it mildly, the power of our lords comes from the gentry, not from the clan! ”

Wang Yin's words made Shen Mingchen speechless, and touched his nose, "Brother Shiyue, according to what you mean, Li Chunfang still helped us adults?" ”

"Of course not!" Wang Yin said hatefully: "The surname Li is not well-intentioned, he is determined that the adults will not dare to touch the clan, so dig a pit and let the adults jump!" ”

Shen Mingchen shook his head, "I said Brother Shiyue, I don't agree with what you say, what's so great about the clan, for more than a hundred years, they can't even get out of the city, they are kept in captivity, one by one, in addition to giving birth to children and bullying the common people, they just eat and wait for death, a bunch of moths." When the adults turned their hands, they didn't even have a problem answering me, let alone the children of the clan who were ordinary in waste snacks, they didn't want to be destroyed! ”

Mao Kun shook his head, "Juzhang, you underestimate the clan, among them, most of them are unsuccessful, but there are also bold, as far as I know, the King of Lu in Shandong, the King of Liao in Huguang, and the King of Jin and King Yi are not good stubbles, they have at least a few thousand outlaws in their hands, and the movement will not be small." ”

"Brother Lumen, when King Ning rebelled, was the movement big enough? Isn't it that Yang Ming Gong has been wiped out by Yang Ming Gong three times and five divided by two, will our adults be worse than Yang Ming? ”

Tang Yi's old face was flushed, and he said in his heart that Shen Mingchen really dared to say that he didn't even take Yang Minggong in his eyes, if he let outsiders hear it, he wouldn't necessarily laugh at himself! It's just that the three major strategists didn't notice it, and in their eyes, Tang Yi's energy far exceeded that of Wang Yangming in the past.

Mao Kun smiled faintly and said: "Brother Juzhang, the prince of the clan, even if you gather 100,000 people, the imperial court only needs a thousand soldiers, you can defeat them, and the pass is not on the battle." ”

He glanced at Tang Yi and said with a smile: "Do you know how powerful it is?" ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly, "The bad thing is that the clan vassal king has no self-knowledge, thousands of outlaws, they dare to make trouble, and it doesn't take much effort to quell the chaos in the imperial court." But after all, the blood of the old Zhu family is flowing in the veins, and if you kill one or two, maybe it's okay, but what about ten or eight, flesh and blood cannibalism, Your Majesty is not good at dealing with each other, and the little ones will also see the stitches. ”

After all, a scholar is not a prime minister, in fact, even if he is the prime minister of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the emperor's words are enough to lose his official position and dismiss. Tai's reversal of the imperial power is like the sky, and it will always be the greatest danger to the reformers. Without a guarantee of tenure, the auxiliary ministers will not be able to really let go of reform, and they will have to worry about the aftermath of their deaths, and they will be afraid to carry out administrative affairs, which is very unpleasant.

Perhaps the next step should be to fix the term of office of the Fellows......

Tang Yi just thought for a moment, he knew that once the term of office of the scholar was fixed, it would touch the root of the imperial power, even if it was Longqing, he would definitely not agree, so he could only let it go for the time being.

"The problem of the clan still needs to be solved, and the matter will be resolved if it is slow, you can help me come up with a feasible plan."

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Don't talk about it in advance, now this pavilion is about to be promoted to the first assistant, three gentlemen, let's work hard again, let Li Chunfang taste some bitterness!" ”

Shousuke!

The eyes of the three strategists all lit up, and they sighed very much, since he entered Tang Yi's shogunate, Mao Kun has been the longest, and ten years have passed.

Now, Tang Yi has just passed the year of his establishment, and he will take charge of the cabinet and become the prime minister of the empire. Not to mention that there is no one who will come after, at least there is no one before.

The facts also prove that their vision is accurate!

The three of them stood up together, dusted off their clothes, and bowed deeply to Tang Yi, "Congratulations to Dong Weng, you got your wish!" ”

Tang Yi also got up and hugged his fists, and said with emotion: "Over the years, the three gentlemen have never given up, assisting Tang to this day, and in the days to come, please don't take the three of you as the first assistant, we are friends, we are like-minded friends, please ask the three gentlemen to speak up, Tang must be humble and admonish!" ”

When people reach a high position, what they are most afraid of is complacency, the so-called high place is unbearable, Tang Yi feels more and more that many of the brothers and friends who came together back then are getting farther and farther away, maybe one day, he will become a loner.

Tang Yi knows very well that he has a big plot, he has really become a loner, and he is not far from defeat, he must always be cautious, one wrong step will be lost. At the very least, someone needs to remind you all the time.

Being trusted and relied on by Tang Yi, the three strategists were also quite pleased.

Wang Yin thinks that time is running out, if he doesn't get the power in his hands for a day, even a guy like Li Chunfang dares to plot against Tang Yi, he really kicks his nose in the face, he doesn't know how important it is, don't care about the affairs of the clan, give him a little color first, Tang Yi readily agreed.

Within three days, Wang Zhen wrote to accuse Li Chunfang of "being old and not being able to ask for help, and his younger brother changed his position instead of dividing Xi'en", which was "disloyal and unfilial".

If you don't say it, you need professionals to do anything, Li Chunfang is the first assistant, Tang Yi emphasized the unity of the cabinet in everything, and started from the top of government affairs, saying that Li Chunfang is incompetent, and the corpse is vegetarian, it is difficult to guarantee that Tang Yi will not be implicated, making people think that the second assistant is unwilling to be subordinate, and the attack launched, although the big guys know it, but the appearance of the meal cannot be too ugly.

Let go of Li Chunfang's parents when they are old, he did help his younger brother find an errand that he didn't do.

This is contrary to his request for resignation, which mentioned that he would lay off redundant personnel.

Wang Zhen further analyzed, Li Chunfang has different hearts, only knows how to restrain others, but does not know self-discipline, how can he lead hundreds of officials with such two faces?

Li Chunfang was scolded to death with shame, and hurriedly resigned, saying that he was bleeding and could not support it, so he tried his best to go, and had to propose to remove his younger brother from his official position.

Li Chunfang felt bitter in his heart, in order to save face, he ended up losing his younger brother's official position, if he delayed any longer, maybe he would fold himself, he made one book a day, which made Longqing helpless, so he had to approve his resignation.

For this Shoufu, who has no sense of existence, Long Qing is still taking care of him, giving him the title of young master, and sending eight messengers to serve him.

As soon as Li Chunfang left, the next day the cabinet scholars were automatically replaced, and the second assistant Tang Yi was promoted to the first assistant, but Zhao Zhenji, who was supposed to take over the second assistant, took the initiative to let Xian and left the second assistant to Gao Gong, and he retreated to the third assistant.

Since it was a voluntary exchange between two people, it didn't hinder others, and no one could say anything.

The pattern of the seven auxiliary ministers of the cabinet was formally established, and Longqing was very happy, and ordered Tang Yi to be added as the young master, the prince and the prince, and promoted to the rank of scholar of Jianji Palace.

Gao Gong was promoted to the rank of Young Master, Wenhuadian Scholar, Zhao Zhenji won Shaobao, Wu Yingdian Scholar, Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng were Wenyuange Scholars, Tang Ruji and Zhang Siwei Dongge Scholars.

According to the division of labor in the cabinet, Tang Yi is in charge of the general political strategy, the foreman of the cabinet, Gao Gong is in charge of personnel, Zhao Zhenji is in charge of supervision, Zhang Juzheng is in charge of finance, Tang Ruji is in charge of the military system, Chen Yiqin is in charge of the construction of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Siwei is in charge of the education of criminal names.

The seven elders are in their respective positions, and the next priority is to continue to promote the Longqing New Deal, but where to start? Our Shousuke-sama kept thinking about it...... (To be continued.) )
