Zhenwu's remarks not only used the industrial and commercial miscellaneous tax reform to subsidize the losses caused by the abolition of envy, but also promised to vigorously improve the welfare of officials during the period of resignation and after the official office, and at the same time ensure that Borneo's estate welfare subsidies can benefit after two years.

Even the unwilling officials did not dare to speak out against it rashly at this time, Zhenwu's measures have divided the original monolithic group of officials into two parts, Qingshui Yamen, no additional income or officials who are honest and honest are now bound to fall to the side of Zhenwu and vigorously support the new policy, at this time to speak out again, not only to be suppressed by Zhenwu, but also to be attacked by officials who support the new policy, it is really unwise, and the officials at the moment have thanked and praised.

Zhenwu didn't expect to draw a few big pies to make all the officials return to their hearts, and they could divide and win over a group, plus the Manchu officials, there was basically not much resistance to the implementation of the new policy, and he was also slightly relieved to see that no one was neighing anymore, and the total number of officials in the Qing Dynasty was not much, and the court issued a fortune to about 20,000 people, thinking that compared to the millions of officials in later generations, it was really not worth mentioning, and he was not under much pressure to improve the official salary.

In addition, the increase in the welfare of officials and the guarantee of the welfare of officials during the period of resignation and after the appointment of officials can not only divide the pressure of implementing the new policy, but also be a prerequisite for vigorously rectifying the administration of officials and promoting a clean government.

The voices of the officials who were waiting for him to praise decreased slightly, and Zhen Wu said: "University scholars, cabinet scholars, the chief officials of the Sixth Department and the Nine Qing will stay, and the rest will retire for the time being." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that this was about to start the early dynasty, and they all bowed and withdrew, and the officials who should be related to the early dynasty, that is, the officials who were prepared for Zhenwu and the chief officials of the six ministries to consult something, withdrew and waited outside the door, so that they could consult at any time and be on call. Officials who had nothing to do with the early dynasty rushed back to the office. Carefully prepared articles that are waving the flag for the New Deal.

Because it is the first early dynasty of Zhenwu to patrol Jin and Shaanxi back to Beijing, there are many things, and the end of the early dynasty is already the third pole of the day, and the next dynasty returns to the front hall of the Ning residence, Zhenwu took a sip of tea and groaned slightly. Then he instructed: "Xuan Yinzhi, Yinxi, Yinxiang, Yinyu, Zhang Pengxi, Xiao Yongzao, Songzhu, Zhao Shenqiao, Ortai, Tian Congdian to see you." ”

Zhenwu, who listened to it, reported the name of a long slip, Bao Fuquan hurriedly and cautiously repeated a piece, and when he saw Zhenwu nodding, he bowed and withdrew, and then ordered a group of little eunuchs to quickly pass the decree.

Zhenwu took advantage of this gap to wash and change clothes for a while, and changed into regular clothes. Then he used some dumplings, and Bao Fuquan waited for him to clean his hands and drink tea, and then bowed in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Cheng Yinzhi, Prince Lian Yinzhi and other ministers are already outside. ”

Zhenwu put down the teacup, nodded, and said, "Let them in." ”

Yinzhi and Yinzhi didn't know the purpose of Zhenwu's summoning them, and they were all full of wonder, the new deal had been decided. What else? And at the same time, so many people were summoned. Everyone rushed in, and under the leadership of Yinzhi and Yinxi, they all kowtowed and said, "Slave Yinzhi and so on." Sincerely, Your Majesty, St. Ann. ”

Zhenwu raised his hand slightly and said, "No courtesy." After a pause, he continued, "Give them all seats." ”

After everyone sat down, Zhenwu glanced at Zhao Shenqiao, and then said calmly: "Zhao Shenqiao questioned the gentry supervising local officials in the early court, and I discussed this matter with the minister of the upper study, and the gentry who exercise the power of supervision will be publicly elected by the local gentry, and the number of places is limited, and there are only three or five people at most.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the main responsibilities of state and county officials have become the collection of taxes, forced labor and maintenance of local ruling order, after the implementation of the new policy, because of the relationship of interests, the gentry and officials will inevitably form an antagonistic situation, by the gentry to supervise the local officials, not only to improve the status of the gentry, but also to protect the interests of the gentry, at the same time, can also prevent local officials from bribery and harm the people, and is conducive to the clan to protect their own rights and interests. ”

Zhao Shenqiao didn't expect Zhenwu to explain this as soon as he came, let alone that there were so many benefits behind this new policy, at least what Zhenwu said was tenable on the surface, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor is far-sighted, and the ministers are really stupid, and they don't realize that this new policy is actually a move that benefits the country and the people in one fell swoop." ”

Zhenwu nodded, then looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been four changes that have had a great impact, namely the Shang Ying Reform, Wang Mang's New Method, Wang Anshi's Reform, and Zhang Juzheng's Reform. You are all the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, and you can speak freely about this reason, and I will not speak to sinners. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately understood that the four new policies, such as apportioning the land into the mu, the officials and gentry paying grain as errands, and abolishing the consumption of envy and the gentry supervising local officials, could be called the fifth major reform, and Zhenwu asked them to learn from history, learn from the lessons of the previous dynasties, and prepare for the smooth implementation of the new policy, and it seems that the new policy may be implemented in a short period of time.

Among the people present, Yinzhi, Zhao Shenqiao, Ortai, and Tian Congdian were all summoned by Zhenwu for the first time to participate in the discussion of such a major matter, and the old Sancheng Prince Yinzhi was slightly moved, and the fourteenth move was tantamount to showing that he wanted to include him in the inner circle, Zhao Shenqiao was quite indifferent, and he had always followed up on the paving of Dingding, and Ertai and Tian Congdian were very excited, because this was undoubtedly a signal that Zhenwu wanted to reuse them.

Everyone thought for a while, and Yinxi took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the ministers thought that the success of the Shang Ying reform was inseparable from the strong support of Qin Xiaogong, and the Shang Ying reform for 18 years was enough to benefit from the change to the point that the class was strong enough to resist the opposition class, and the other three changes, Wang Mang's new law and Wang Anshi's reform were too short to cultivate the profit class, although Zhang Juzheng's reform took a little longer, it was not enough to cultivate the profit class, and the opposition class was too strong. ”

Listening to this, everyone's hearts are tight, the spread into the mu is actually an extension of Zhang Juzheng's change of law, the official gentry pay the grain as an errand, abolish the two articles of consumption and envy or even more ruthless, the same is to offend the officials and gentry all over the world, this opposition class is equally powerful, but when I think of Zhenwu is the emperor, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year, everyone can't help but relax, as long as this master does not change the hexagram halfway, there is no risk, of course, for everything to be innovative, the imperial power is highly unified Zhenwu, they are not worried that he will change the hexagram halfway.

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It makes sense, Shang Ying rewarded military merits, and the implementation of the military merit system not only reduced the resistance to changing the law, divided the old interest class, but also strengthened the class that benefited from the change. ”

Seeing that Yinzhi took the lead, Yinzhi also followed: "The minister thinks that the reason why Shang Ying's reform is successful is because of Qin Xiaogong's unswerving support, while Wang Anshi's reform of Song Shenzong is the first to waver in the change, and Zhang Juzheng's change of the law is the last to change the hexagram, making it difficult to implement the change thoroughly." As for Wang Mang, although he has not changed his hexagram, his new method is really retro and out of place. ”

Zhenwu smiled slightly: "I will try my best to implement the new policy, and I will not worry about changing my mind halfway. ”

Zhang Pengxi has not been silent, but he is thinking about Zhenwu's intention to let them discuss the four major changes, taking history as a mirror, which experience does this master want to follow most in implementing the new policy?

Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Yongzao bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the servants secretly think that the reason why the Shang Ying reform was successful was because it followed the result of gradual progress, and the Shang Yang change was actually divided into two stages.

In the initial stage, Shang Ying mainly rewarded the cultivation war, and this stage lasted for ten years, not only accumulating rich experience in law change, but also accumulating contacts, cultivating forces and classes that supported law change, and laying a good foundation for deep law change in the future.

On this basis, Shang Ying pushed the Qin king to move the capital to Xianyang, and felt that the time was ripe to carry out the second stage of in-depth reform, and with very little resistance, the new law was successfully implemented, completely changing the economic and political system of the entire Qin state in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this that after the death of Qin Xiaogong, King Qin Hui, who killed Shang Ying, had to continue to implement the law of Shang Yang for the stability of the country, all thanks to its deep foundation. ”

Gradual? Zhenwu frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "The paving into the mu is actually derived from Zhang Juzheng's change, in the trial, and when the Jiangnan fully implemented the paving into the mu, many states and counties have actually been implemented for many years, and the full implementation at this time can be regarded as gradual. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shenqiao bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although this is the case, but the implementation of the apportionment into the mu in the south of the Yangtze River is also a lot of obstacles, the gentry and rich households have many opposition, and the local bureaus have from time to time to make trouble, and the voices of ridicule and anger are endless. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Pengxi immediately understood, and hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, the implementation of the new policy and the rectification of the rule of officials should not be confused, and the implementation of the new policy should first establish the prestige of the imperial court!" It is necessary to speak like a mountain and prohibit it, so as to deter local officials and gentry.

Shang Ying's standing wood is to win the trust of the people, and it is precisely based on this that Shang Ying's reform was successful. ”

Zhenwu glanced at him with great appreciation, and then glanced at everyone, and then said: "There are many factors for the success or failure of the law change, but the prestige and credibility of the court are very important, and the officials and gentlemen must believe in the court and trust the court, so that the new policy can be thoroughly implemented!" The court can be as stable as a rock!

For the imperial court, the political crisis, economic crisis, and military crisis are insignificant, and what I am most afraid of is a crisis of trust, if the officials, gentlemen, and the people do not trust the decrees of the imperial court, it is not far off for the court to fall apart.
