This is the first time that the emperor has made a speech directly in the newspaper since the establishment of the "Daming Daily", and the first speech was deafening.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, social injustice and uneven distribution of wealth had overwhelmed the people at the bottom, and the government was corrupt and bent on the law, which also aroused strong disgust among the people.

The emperor is taking the blame for these chaos, and has become a blatant target, and anyone who wants to be dissatisfied with the status quo can curse a few words to the emperor.

At this time, the emperor jumped out and began to criticize the injustice of the status quo, as if he was thinking about problems and governing the country from the perspective of the people of the world.

Ordinary people were thrilled to see it, and they immediately saw hope, which in turn produced a sensational effect.

What is even more sensational is that the day of reform can be expected. Although the New Deal area has not been expanded, it has further clarified the New Deal regulations.

For the first time, the gentry were legislated to pay taxes, and at the same time, it was also formally legislated that the children of merchants could not participate in politics, or they could participate in politics, but they could choose between business and politics.

As a result, the gentry paid taxes as a whole, and the officials and scholars in the New Deal area, as well as the princes and nobles, and even the royal family would all pay taxes uniformly.

This is like firing a map cannon, and it will be countered by these forces. Even these groups in the open and unreformed provinces declare war.

This is in fact a declaration of war and an open contradiction between the interest groups that support reform and the old ones.

It has been more than two years since all the northern provinces were included in the reform, and Zhu Youxiao had enough confidence at this time to declare war on these old interest groups.

In the northern provinces after the reform, people's livelihood has developed rapidly. State-owned capital has become more powerful. New interest groups have emerged.

Zhu Youxiao is not alone in declaring war on the old interest class. Rather, it declares war on the old interest groups on behalf of the state-owned capital consortium.

Those princes and nobles, bureaucrats and scholars in the New Deal area could no longer jump at this time, and they had no ability to rebel at all. They have no military power in their hands, and the people's livelihood has improved, and most of them are busy making money, how can there be that idle man to accompany them to rebel, isn't that enough to support!

Sure enough, after the cabinet legislated and established a system of integrated taxation for the gentry, the northern provinces were calm. There were no rebellions and coups.

A coup d'état is completely impossible, the capital has become the base camp of the state-owned capital consortium, Zhu Youxiao is the leading brother, who will rebel against him? Moreover, the palace forbidden army is a loyal and brave soldier selected from various units, and no one can be mobilized without Zhu Youxiao's order.

The rebellion is even more impossible, King Fu's rebellion has failed, not to mention that now the northern provinces have been reformed for more than two years, and there is no possibility of a successful rebellion. Even if someone is stupid, no one dares to respond.

Reform has become the trend of the times, and military power has become a powerful guarantee for reform. In this way, the Ming army has millions of troops, and it can be pulled into the battlefield at any time to suppress the rebellion.

Under such military high pressure. Which one dares to rebel.

A new wave of picketing was immediately set off in the officialdom, but all officials and civil servants from merchant families began to face two choices.

One is to roll up the cover, and the other is to make the family or clan give up business.

First, all of a sudden, some officials resigned. Some officials chose to split their families, while others chose to abandon their businesses.

After some picketing, nearly one-fifth of the officials in the New Deal area left their jobs, but by this time the problem of the shortage of civil servants and officials had improved. In particular, the civil service examination is now held every year throughout the country, and just in time for picketing, the civil service examination for the tenth year of the Apocalypse has begun in the provinces again.

Fresh blood has been absorbed into the New Deal system, and the administrative system of the New Deal area has begun to be full of vitality, and the atmosphere of decay and obsolescence has disappeared. Those officials who ate the food of the imperial court and had to smash the rice bowl of the imperial court also began to be eliminated by the imperial court with the injection of fresh blood.

The integrated taxation of the gentry was also supported by the people of the provinces of the New Deal, and Zhu Youxiao's prestige was further enhanced. The bureaucrats and scholars didn't make much trouble, and the emperor began to pay taxes, and this general trend was crushed, and he couldn't stop it at all, and he wisely chose to accept it.

The officials of the Han Emperor Party were the main force supporting the gentry to pay taxes as a whole, and the Han Emperor Party has developed rapidly in recent years, and its party members have grown to more than 300,000.

With the Han Emperor's monopoly of the court and the domination of officialdom in the New Deal area, the party's resources became very abundant.

Nowadays, the unspoken rule in the New Deal area is that the prerequisite for promotion is to join the Han Emperor Party, which is a political party formed by the emperor. The emperor has not allowed other parties to appear in the court again, after all, the world will not be chaotic when the world is unified, and there will be continuous party strife all day long, and there will be no efficiency at all in managing the country, which will only produce serious internal friction.

Of course, there will also be the phenomenon of gangs and factions within the party, but that is a group of gangs and factions under the principle of unification of the Han Emperor Party, at least the concept will not be in the opposite direction.

Many times, reasoning is not convincing the other party.

Some people just don't want to reason with you, and if it worked, there wouldn't be so much fighting. The same is true in politics, for the sake of their own interests, politicians can reverse black and white, and they are not willing to accept things that are obviously very reasonable, that is, they have to do it.

At this time, the only way is to use extreme methods to solve the problem, only by cleaning up these-stirring sticks and kicking them out, can we clear our ears and eyes, concentrate on doing things, and not be upset and arguing every day.

The Han Emperor Party is now openly rejecting other parties, and for those officials who are not partisan and unwilling to join the Han Emperor Party, they all obediently stay at the grassroots level. Promotions are possible, but they have to work hard to get ahead. It is not like an official who joins the Han Emperor Party, as long as he has the ability, he will be promoted.

For those honest officials, there is nothing to exclude from joining the Han Emperor Party, and officials who are willing to do things for the people are also willing to join the Han Emperor Party, which is the purpose of the party.

The Han Emperor Party has only now grown to more than 300,000 members, which is already the result of strict control. If it hadn't been strictly controlled, it would have exceeded several million people long ago. After all, there are a lot of speculators in these years, and when they saw that it was profitable to join the Han Emperor Party, they all cut their heads and wanted to drill into it.

The Han Emperor's party style and party discipline were also very strict, and they often held meetings to study the spirit of the Central Committee and advocate this and that. This kind of meeting may be long and dreary, but it can give a central direction and popularize the consciousness that should be there. Smart officials will naturally do things according to the direction of the above, as long as they can do things well, regardless of their character, as long as they are not caught embezzling and taking bribes, they can be promoted.

For middle- and lower-level officials, they are all right things and not people. Only when you rise to the rank of the first rank of the court and the cabinet members, will the character be taken into account to avoid decay from the superstructure and affect the middle and lower buildings.
