Chapter 90: Longzhong vs. Two
After a deep sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Sun Chengzong: "What does that gentleman think?" How to solve Xiong Tingbi's matter? ”
Sun Chengzong glanced at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, these things are Your Majesty's affairs, and the ministers dare not say more." However, the minister believes that His Majesty will be able to do a good job. ”
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt quite warm in his heart, this old gentleman really trusted himself. Smiling lightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "Sir, in the past, Liu Bei used to look at the thatched house three times, and Zhuge Wuhou had a three-point remark before he was born. Later, Wuhou came out of the mountain, and he also acted according to the Longzhong pair, I don't know what Mr. thinks of my Daming next? ”
Sun Chengzong didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to ask like this, although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he really didn't know whether to say it here. Since ancient times, the companion of the king is like a companion tiger, if he really says it, will this young son of heaven fully support him, and will he end up with Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of Jiangling?
Seeing Sun Chengzong's eyes flickering continuously, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed deeply, this old gentleman's experience was quite bumpy. It seems that Emperor Wanli left too much impression on him, and he didn't believe in himself very much! Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly came to the opposite side of Sun Chengzong, and said respectfully: "I am on the throne day by day, and I am really uneasy about the country like this, please teach me sir." Saying that, the Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed to Sun Chengzong and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, you have killed the old minister." Sun Chengzong couldn't care about his thoughts, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly. At this time, he really felt the determination of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and also felt the absolute trust of this young Son of Heaven in himself.
Gently helping Sun Chengzong up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Sir, no matter what you say, you can say it directly, even if I become the target of everyone one day in the future, I will not push Mr. out." Even if one day the society is overturned, I will not blame Aiqing, sir, rest assured! ”
Sighing deeply, shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chengzong bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in your lifetime, since you are in charge of Your Majesty, you will not regret your death!" ”
"Okay, don't worry, sir, Mr. will repay me with a countryman, and I should repay him with a countryman." The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also a little excited, these righteous people were his future reliance, and the cornerstone of his own ideals.
"The minister said," Glancing at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong continued: "The situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time can be described as very difficult, the internal natural disasters are continuous, and the external situation is also precarious. If Your Majesty wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to do is to clarify the court and resolve the party dispute. No matter which party it is, as long as it is loyal to the country and for the sake of the common people in the world, His Majesty can reuse it. On the other hand, it is necessary to severely crack down on party strife and eliminate all officials who occupy the court for their own selfish interests. ”
Bowing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong said: "The minister's next words are just some thoughts, and Your Majesty doesn't have to take it seriously if you think it's wrong." ”
"Mr. has something to say, you can speak freely today!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, pulled Sun Chengzong back in the chair, and walked to the side and sat down.
"The minister felt that he should carry out reforms and re-implement the new policy of Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister of Jiangling, to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation and rehabilitate the new policy." Sun Chengzong was very careful when he said this, and even regretted it a little as soon as he said it, this is to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse to say that his grandfather is wrong. is the so-called inseparable intimacy, and I am afraid that I am the only one who will complain if I do this. Once this policy is introduced, it will definitely not be the Emperor of the Apocalypse who will be attacked at that time, but himself! Can this young genius really withstand that kind of pressure?
Glancing at Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I think so too." At that time, the new policy of Gangneung Xianggong was a good way, especially a whip law, and it was a rare good policy, but I felt that this was not enough. ”
Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, what was this young son of heaven thinking? Not enough? So what is he going to do?
"Sir, I have some ideas now, but I still don't understand them, can I solve my doubts?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile, he liked this old courtier very much, this is a baby! A national treasure-level character.
"The old minister listens, but it doesn't hurt for Your Majesty to speak." Sun Chengzong saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said respectfully.
"My main idea is twofold, and that is that both agriculture and commerce should be taxed. I don't say that Aiqing may also understand who is in the hands of the world's money now, those squires and rich families, and those scholars and eunuchs. These people have embezzled most of the world's money, causing people's livelihood to wither and the treasury to be empty. After the Emperor of the Apocalypse finished speaking, he looked at Sun Chengzong with burning eyes, he knew his weaknesses, and many ideas were good and right. But what is good and right may not be feasible in practice. The Emperor of the Apocalypse needs this old man in front of him to find a path for himself that he can practice in one day.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing this?" ”
"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." What the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to listen to is the truth, and since Sun Chengzong wants to speak, it is naturally the best.
"Your Majesty, that is the chaos in the world, and rebellions are everywhere!" Although Sun Chengzong knew that what the Emperor of the Apocalypse said was right, things were not so easy to handle! Those rich and powerful, and even the vassal kings of various places are the most businessmen in the world, the largest landlords in the world, and it is not so easy to snatch things out of the hands of these people.
Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Sun Chengzong to say this, he thought that Sun Chengzong would say some policy opinions, and he was slightly stunned. Seeing Sun Chengzong looking at him with burning eyes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a hint of realization in his heart, this was testing himself!
"Sir, don't be like this, I am ready to go to the country even if tens of millions of people go to me, even if I die because of this, I will not hesitate." The heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was burning with flames at this time, the flames of struggle, and his body was trembling uncontrollably because of the excitement.
After pondering for a long time, Sun Chengzong said, "Then what does Your Majesty want to do?" ”
"After the agricultural tax, only one kind of tax will be levied, that is, the acre tax, which will be levied according to the ownership of the field. We reformed the official system and established a new tax yamen, which were separated from the existing local administrative yamen. All the annual taxes are handed over to the state treasury, and then the state treasury allocates them to the localities according to the amount of use. "The Emperor of the Apocalypse threw out his thoughts, and he has been thinking about these things for a long time, although he can't implement them now, but he must think about them and do them one by one.
Today's first chapter is here. Suddenly I feel a little tired, I go to work every day, write books every day, so tired! There are always people who say this and that, and suddenly feel so tired. I don't know when it was on the shelves, and I suddenly felt a little far away, alas! Ask for comfort, ask for warmth!
