If we want to avoid the rebellion of the people, we must solve the problem of land annexation, but this will undoubtedly seriously damage the interests of those traditional clan and powerful families, and no one will easily spit out the benefits in their hands, and resistance and resistance are indispensable.

Don't think that if you are the emperor, you must have great power in your hands, and you will definitely be able to respond to every call, what has really been in charge of affairs in the past dynasties is actually a huge bureaucratic system, and if you can't control this group of bureaucrats, the emperor's rule will immediately lose its effectiveness.

The bureaucracy is composed of scholars, and the scholar class and the landlord class are in the relationship between you and me, and I have you. It can be said that the people of these two classes have almost all the connections and social resources of the country, and the decrees of the imperial court must also be implemented through the officials at the grassroots level. If the reform does not have their support, no matter how good the policies and decrees Li Guanqi can think of, in the process of implementation, all kinds of distorted and exaggerated means will be unavoidable.

Even if Li Guanqi is relatively strong, the measures of the imperial court are relatively effective, and the issue of land annexation will only be subsided in Li Guanqi's generation, and the social contradictions will only be temporarily alleviated, and the dynasty can continue for a relatively little longer

But in that case, when Li Guanqi dies, it is very likely that the policies he left behind will soon exist in name only and even be overthrown, and the benefits lost by his generation of scholars and landlords will be added to the common people layer by layer, and finally the social contradictions will intensify, becoming the cause of national turmoil and even the demise of the dynasty. These are not what Li Guanqi is willing to see, what he wants is a way to achieve long-term peace and stability.

Historically, there has been no shortage of emperors who were determined to forge ahead and have the courage to reform, but because the main thing they could rely on was the scholar class, these emperors. Even if reform is carried out, it can only cut out a relatively uncooperative minority, deter the majority, and maintain a new ruling order that is relatively lenient and efficient for the common people.

To be honest, the emperor who can do this is already a Ming monarch who is quite sympathetic to the people.

According to the law of historical development. As long as there is enough room for expansion and a relatively stable ruling order, the overall wealth and population of society will continue to increase, even if there are still various irrational phenomena. With Li Guanqi's more than 1,000 years of knowledge than this era, as long as he is not very lazy, he can still be written in the history books as the master of Zhongxing who is wise and martial, but Li Guanqi is not satisfied with this, he wants to make a great attempt.

Looking at a pair of eager eyes and calloused hands, Li Guanqi said affectionately: "I know." Your hard work, in fact, is not too demanding, just want to 'ten acres of land, a cow, wife and children hot kang head'. ”

The ministers present looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions - our emperor was born in the deep palace since he was a child, and he has never been to the countryside! Where did you learn all this country slang?

The officials originally felt that the emperor's vulgar language was out of order, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that these words sounded vulgar. But it makes so much sense. Then I began to think about it, since the emperor has been staying in the palace. Naturally, there is no opportunity to come into contact with these jumbled languages. Well, as the saying goes: saints are born to know it. Our emperor is an immortal saint!

The old man who had been standing beside Li Guanqi was indeed a straight-hearted person, and at this moment, he actually asked Li Guanqi in a daze: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by wife?" ”

"Huh?" Li Guanqi was also stunned when he heard this, he was saying it well, he didn't know that there was no wife at this time. So he also asked a little puzzled: "Old man, what the do you call your child?" ”

"Wife!" The old man said with a simple smile.

Li Guanqi also smiled and said, "Wife, it's a child." It's just that everyone hasn't had a unified name. Like the old man, you are called the old woman, and I am called Zitong. As he spoke, he pointed at Qin Min and others with his hand. continued, "They are called Mrs., Sour Xiucai is called Niangzi, and Crop Man is called Mother-in-law." Of course, there are also those who are directly called children. All these titles actually mean wife. ”

Li Guanqi is improvised, nonsense, but because the name wife is particularly catchy, the word wife has officially spread since then.

The old man continued: "Your Majesty, what you said is so good. I know at a glance that you must be a good person, this year's harvest is not good, you see, can you exempt everyone from poll tax this year, otherwise this year will definitely be cold and hungry! ”

Yin Yang Chengen, the newly appointed Ying Tianfu who was standing not far away, hurriedly shouted: "Be bold and make up for the people, taxation is an important government affairs of the imperial court, how can you wait to talk about it, don't kneel down quickly!" ”

The old man didn't expect that he would make a mistake when he said something casually, and when he heard this, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong." Your Majesty, just pretend that I didn't say anything. ”

Li Guanqi frowned, and said angrily at Yang Chengen: "You said that he was bold, and I see that your courage is not small." I'm here, and the cabinet ministers are here, when will it be your turn to shout? ”

"This ......," Yang Chengen couldn't help but be speechless. He actually didn't have any malicious intent, he just felt that a flat-headed ordinary man dared to ask the emperor for policies, which was really unusual, so he scolded him without thinking about it. Who would have thought that the emperor was not only not grateful to him for relieving him, but also unreasonably discussed his qualifications with him, how could he reply?

"Stand down." Li Guanqi coldly announced the "punishment" of Yang Chengen, after all, Yang Dafu Yin didn't actually make any mistakes, and he didn't really punish others.

Turning around and picking up the old man with his own hands, Li Guanqi stared at his cloudy eyes, which were already full of tears, and said calmly: "Old man, I understand your suffering, but this tax really can't be canceled just like cancellation." Without taxes, the imperial court would not be able to support the army that defended the country, the officials who guarded the pastoral pastoracles, and the other people who suffered from disasters. ”

When the old man saw Li Guanqi say the same, he lowered his head gloomily, and said in a trembling voice: "I know it's wrong." I know it's wrong! ”

Li Guanqi patted the old man's hand lightly, then turned back to the crowd of onlookers, and asked loudly: "The landlord who has hired tenants at home please come out, I have something to say to you!" (To be continued......)

PS: Li Guanqi said loudly: "Readers and friends who have monthly passes, please come out, the author has something to say to you: vote!" ”
