However, even so, Zhu Changyuan did not give up Zhu Yujian, and always left a place for him in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info also wants to examine him.

When it comes to prestige, this point is undoubtedly Zhu Changning!

Because Zhu Changning is his old team, he is the brother of life and death who fought the first battle with him, and now he is also the secretary of one of the twelve, and even Zhu Changyuan thought about giving him the title of king.

All these have determined that Zhu Changning's prestige among the hundred officials is undoubtedly the highest.

It seems that among the PKs of Zhu Changning and Zhu Yujian, Zhu Changning has the absolute upper hand.

Putting Zhu Changning on the throne, Zhu Changyuan has nothing to worry about, only one point, that is, what is the attitude of his cousin towards Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the previous dynasty.

He worked hard to find Zhu Cihong and won Zhang Yan's favor, and if he expected it to be good, this will definitely make him the most prominent symbol of the peerless Ming Jun in history in the future.

Think about it, being able to tolerate the crown prince of the previous dynasty, not only did not kill Zhu Cihong, but also supported him and gave him rich living materials, this kind of magnanimity and open-mindedness, is that what ordinary kings can have?

However, hidden dangers are hidden dangers, and Zhu Cihong is the prince of the former dynasty after all.

If you can tolerate it, it doesn't mean that others can tolerate it, in case you leave this world in the future, and the new emperor quietly kills Zhu Cihong after he ascends the throne, won't this make his original intention dusty.

The key is that Zhu Cihong is a very good child, since he got acquainted with him many years ago, the two are also teachers and friends, and Zhu Changyuan really likes this child.

Zhang Yan didn't want him to die, so how could she want the bones of Emperor Liezu to be slaughtered.

Chongzhen was sorry for Zhu Changyuan, and Zhu Changyuan was also very disgusted.

But that's all under the guise of politics to be made, and deep down in his heart he is still full of reverence and pity for this emperor who is "a dead king"!

Therefore, if you want to make someone the prince, you have to test it!

August of the first year of Taizheng. Zhu Changyuan's edict: Tang King Zhu Yujian returns to Beijing!

At the same time, in order to allow Zhu Changning to have a platform and identity corresponding to Zhu Yujian, he was considered to be a clan with high merit. canonized as the king of the sun and the moon, and the fief is even more amazing. It's on Sun Moon Island.

It can also be said that Zhu Changyuan is going to give Sun Moon Island to Zhu Changning for private ownership!

Anyway, if he wants to return to modern society in the future, these things will always be his.

In the autumn of the first year of Taizheng, all the vassal kings of the country were moved to Hainan Island, and the land left by those vassal kings naturally became Zhu Changyuan's bag, but he gave all of them to the poor and displaced people free of charge.

At the same time, land transformation is also being carried out well across the country.

Autumn is the harvest season for the common people. The same was true for the imperial court.

For example, Zhu Changyuan's first tax since the founding of the People's Republic of China began to be collected.

The yamen of each prefecture and county will report the tax situation in their jurisdiction to the province, and the province will first report the list to the central government, and then pay the tax money to the central government.

Zhu Changyuan took the statistical report and nodded while reading it.

Through the land reform movement, the northern provinces of Shaanxi, Henan, Liaodong, Shanxi, and Hebei were the first to complete land reform, so these places naturally had the highest taxes.

However, in the affluent provinces south of the Yangtze River, the amount of taxes is not as good as that in northern China. Even more exaggerated, a small Taiwan pays more than half of the Yangtze River.

This also made Zhu Changyuan stunned, and put the report on the table. said to the ministers: "You must have seen these data, what do you think?" ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles, and the ministers have never expected this benefit brought by land innovation!" ”

The benefit he was talking about was paying taxes!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen's annual tax was only 4 million taels, less than one-fifth of the 20 million taels of silver per year during the Hongwu period, so there were so many soldiers who did not have military salaries, and the disaster in Shaanxi could not be solved.

If he has the taxes of the Hongwu years. There is a large amount of silver stored in the treasury, so what does it matter if the entire Shaanxi land is not harvested. The state will only receive help, and it will not cause such a big contradiction between the people of Shaanxi and the Zhu family.

And now. After Zhu Changyuan's land innovation, even if only half of the land reform was carried out, the tax amount in the first year of Taizheng was as high as 90 million taels!

This is more than double the sum of all the taxes paid during Chongzhen's thirteen years of reign.

Of course, there are many things because Zhu Changyuan used chemical fertilizers in Shaanxi and Liaodong, but it has to be said that land innovation is the biggest help, otherwise no matter how much chemical fertilizer and how much wealth is created, it will also fall into the hands of those landlords.

"Our ministers, ashamed of Your Majesty!" Liu Zongzhou continued: "It is really foolish to be able to comprehend the sage of the Son of Heaven so far. Therefore, the minister has consulted with you to implement the policy of land reform throughout the country as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Changyuan nodded.

After a while, Guo Cheng's electronic information reported: Due to the earliest implementation of land reform in northern Myanmar, this year's tax has also been counted and collected, as high as 2 million taels.

As for the rest of the Indochina Peninsula, since it had just been pacified, the land reform could not be counted, and according to Zhu Changyuan's policy, it was tax-free for one year.

Of course, when foreign landlords donate their land, they do not enjoy any subsidy policy, and they are completely forcibly distributed to the peasants.

These foreign taxes, such as Myanmar, have nominally been incorporated into the Chinese territory, so all taxes are paid to Beijing.

However, the distance was too far, and Zhu Changyuan ordered Guo Cheng to pay the tax every five years.

Anyway, the Ming Empire is not short of that silver now.

In September, Zhu Yujian arrived in Beijing.

Zhu Changyuan invited him into the palace as soon as possible, and had a happy dinner with him.

I don't know if I was scared by Zhu Changyuan or what the reason was, this time Zhu Yujian came back from Hainan and didn't bring his princess with him.

Zhu Changyuan was half-drunk, pretending to be slightly drunk and hazy, and took Zhu Yujian's hand and said: "Uncle Huang, if Jingping is today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and my Ming land covers the four seas, I am very relieved!" ”

Zhu Yujian nodded and said: "This is all the credit of Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really Mingjun, there is no such thing in the past and present, and it is convenient for the first emperor to compare his achievements, and it is also more than that!" ”

This is not a joke or compliment by Zhu Yujian, this is a fact that everyone in the world can see.

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and said with a sad face: "You and I are both clans, and King Tang is my imperial uncle and the emperor's uncle of the world." I have no decision on something, so I have to ask Uncle Huang! ”

Zhu Yujian knew that Zhu Changyuan was going to say something important, so he put the wine glass on the table, took a step back, bowed down and knelt down, and said, "I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Changyuan said: "You and I are both clans, but the bones of Emperor Lie are not true, I don't know how to deal with it if I care about family affection?" ”

This is open to Zhu Yujian, which means, this little prince of the former Ming Dynasty, how should you deal with it?

Or: This Zhu Cihong, should he be killed?

As soon as Zhu Yujian heard that it was such a sensitive matter, he immediately changed his attitude and became silent, no matter how Zhu Changyuan looked at him, he just pretended not to hear.

Zhu Changyuan was not happy, and said directly: "King Tang, please share the worries of the widow!" ”

Tang Wang was still silent, and Zhu Changyuan said angrily: "Zhu Yujian, tell me your opinion." ”

Zhu Yujian had no choice but to bow down and say, "Uncle Huang can't be killed, Your Majesty can be killed!" ”

Meaning, from the perspective of family affection, it must not be killed, after all, everyone is in the same vein. But politically, it is imperative to cut the roots.

Zhu Changyuan was unhappy, drank wine with King Tang for a while, and then pushed off his body and let King Tang kneel down.

After Zhu Yujian left, Zhu Changyuan ordered Zhu Changning to enter the palace overnight.

In the south study, Zhu Changyuan pretended to be drunk, not only did he appear a little groggy, but his eyes were slightly red.

Zhu Changning hurriedly ran to his side, helped Zhu Changyuan and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Drinking so much alcohol? ”

Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, pointed to the bench opposite the desk in the imperial study and said to Zhu Changning: "You sit down, I have something in my heart, I have been hesitating, I will confide in you today, you give me a good idea!" ”

Zhu Changning said: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Zhu Changyuan smiled, stood up and walked in front of Zhu Changning, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Changning, you always call me Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to the monarch and ministers, we are still brothers?" ”

"Brother Huang!" Although Zhu Changning heard Zhu Changyuan say this, how dare he be presumptuous.

"I came to you today, mainly to ask you, about the bones of the former Emperor Chaolie, the former prince is getting older, according to the practice of my Ming Dynasty, it is time to choose a concubine for him next year!"

"But I can't sleep all night because of this. You give me an idea, whether I should make him king and then send him to Hainan, or directly... ”

Zhu Changyuan made a slight movement, and Zhu Changning saw it clearly.

"What is Your Majesty hesitating about?" Zhu Changning stood up and said in a low voice: "In the opinion of the younger brother, he should not have been welcomed into the palace in the first place. ”

"For the sake of my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, the former prince Zhu Cihong can't stay!"

Zhu Changyuan hesitated slightly, thought for a while, and said: "But the prince is still young, I can't bear to kill him, besides, the prince is innocent!" ”

Zhu Changning took Zhu Changyuan's words and said: "The prince is innocent, what is the innocence of the built?" ”

At that time, Tang Taizong was also a masterpiece of a generation and a famous monarch through the ages, but was it easy for him to come by? Isn't it also stained with the blood of his brothers? Didn't it also make the crown prince Li Jiancheng have no bones left in a different place?

In Zhu Changning's eyes, killing a prince of the former dynasty is not even a stigma!

Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and said four words to Zhu Changning: "You go back first!" (To be continued.) )
