Chapter 22 Correcting the Political and Ideological Direction of the Ming Dynasty

After solving the etiquette thing, the next thing is the formal rules of the court, in the ancient Ming Dynasty routine is the centralized system, basically the whole country's major and small things have to be written to the central government, by the central leadership to give instructions to the following to say, the energy of local authority is very small, especially after Zhu Yuanzhang does not like the landlord to treat them as enemies after the establishment of a series of spy agencies, the effect of centralization is even more enhanced, which also greatly strengthens the load of the operation of the court and the pressure of the emperor, Basically, everything has to be written to let the emperor see and give instructions, so among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, there are emperors who are tired to death because they are too serious, such as Zhu Zhanji, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

So at this time, all kinds of things were reported at the court meeting, and Li Jiancheng suddenly had a big head when he heard it, and even such a thing as hydrological construction in a certain county in Dengzhou was also reported, and what big things in various places were also reported like a trend, and Li Jiancheng felt that these courtiers were deliberately making things difficult for him! In fact, there is indeed such a meaning, the courtiers saw that the emperor was so unsuccessful when he first ascended the throne and lived in the wood workshop yard, and the boss was dissatisfied for a long time, so they discussed and prepared to use various national affairs to drown the emperor, and the emperor couldn't come up with a way, they were proposing to let the emperor study hard every day, so that the emperor would have no excuse.

The elites of the Ming Dynasty played the strategy of saluting first and then soldiering, but Li Jiancheng, who had gone through the modern streets and alleys, was not so easy to deal with, Li Jiancheng came up with a trick to draw salary, Li Jiancheng said: "Stop, stop, you all stop first, I heard all the secretaries say so much It seems that they are all things to be dealt with!" Isn't there anything constructive about it? ”

The ministers were stunned when they heard Li Jiancheng's words, they didn't understand what the emperor meant by 'constructive suggestions', and Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "May I ask Your Majesty, this... What is a 'constructive suggestion'? ”

The ministers expressed their incomprehension of the new words that popped out of Li Jiancheng's mouth, in fact, most people are like this, Li Jiancheng smiled, I'm afraid that you won't ask, Li Jiancheng said: "I mean, you see." I have just ascended the throne, and the whole country has just been placed at my feet, and all kinds of big and small things are waiting for me to deal with, but is there no priority in these things? So I wondered if this thing should first radiate from the whole to the part? Shouldn't we first set a good and overall direction for the future of the country? What do you guys think? ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers below began to discuss, although the emperor's words were novel but also very reasonable, there was a strange phenomenon in ancient China, that is, everything had to be reasonable, and they had to fight a great righteousness and a reason to do anything, even if it was a rebellion.

Li Jiancheng's words also made those who wanted to remind the emperor to take care of the country more, such as Liu Yijing, Yang Ling, Zuo Guangdou, these people were confused, looking at the emperor's attitude, the rhetoric they prepared seemed to be a bit out of place, Fang Congzhe has also been observing the emperor, as a court full of party contentions, this only person who maintains neutrality can sit in the position of the first assistant until now, it can be seen that this person is sensitive to politics, he has been thinking about whether the emperor really has his own ideas, which is very important to him.

At this time, Li Jiancheng was very disappointed, this is the ancient government, these people have never considered the future development direction of the country, so that the country can be rich and the people is really a ghost, you must know that the problem of the road can never be solved. Li Jiancheng's sighing appearance was also seen by Yang Lin and others, these people are loyal ministers, although they were ready to scold the emperor for ignoring his studies just now, but at this time, the emperor's concern for the country and the people was also deeply pleased, in order not to discourage the emperor's enthusiasm, Yang Ling stood up and said: "Weichen feels that what His Majesty said is reasonable, and the country has always been from the country to the local government in advance, and Weichen feels that it is very necessary to formulate a future development direction!" ”

Although the Donglin Party does not have a good reputation in history, the teachings of the Donglin Party are good, because they are the only party that proclaims and pays attention to practical learning in the party. This is commendable, at least in the dynasty at that time, it was a very advanced idea! Yang Ling's voice quieted down all the ministers, and Yang Ling's approval did not disgust everyone, and no one would stand up against such a proposal to formulate a national-level future plan without obvious interests. The ministers began to chant the emperor's sage.

Cabinet Minister Han Kuang stood up at this time and said: "It is really my great luck that Your Majesty is far-sighted, but where should I think about this specific development direction?" Please give it a try! ”

Han Kuang stood up and said such a sentence, Yang Ling, Zuo Guangdou and the others all frowned, isn't it their responsibility to be a courtier for these emperors to worry about the country's policy, why did Han Kuang turn his head and ask the emperor, this kind of obvious temptation is too much, this has a kind of meaning that the emperor can't come to the stage!

After all, the emperor's age is there, and many people know that the emperor of the Dao Dao has learned too little, and being able to say these words at this time has already made those ministers who understand things feel great, and Han Kuang's behavior is a bit suspicious of probing the bottom, which is really a bit bad, but this is very good in Li Jiancheng's opinion, just ask me, I'm afraid you won't ask.

Li Jiancheng is also a child in the end, and self-expression is the instinct of all children, Li Jiancheng said: "A main body of national development planning is naturally based on the fact that everything is based on the development of people's livelihood, that is to say, everything is people-oriented. A few days ago, I looked at the major development events of my dynasty, and I paid attention to a question, that is, since the Jiajing period, the agriculture of my Ming Dynasty as a whole has been declining, especially in the past 20 years, it has been a continuous disaster in various places, and a large number of farmers have been lost, which has displaced a large number of farmers. Therefore, the urgent national policy should be evaluated, anticipated and coordinated in this regard! ”

Li Jiancheng said such a paragraph, and then played a few new words, and these elite turtles of the Ming Dynasty were taken aback, some people who were dedicated to the country were excited, and those who really saw the national problems were also surprised, the decline of agriculture in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the decline of national strength, many people were aware of this problem, but few people put it on the agenda, and even if it was raised, it could not attract attention.

Zuo Guangdou, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, said: "What His Majesty said is very true, in recent years, the imperial court has passed a lot of acres, and the first emperor is a premonition that the people are hard to reduce a large number of taxes, but just tax reduction is not a long-term solution, and the reduction of taxes indicates that the financial or lack of national stability is extremely unfavorable, and you need to think of a way to get the best of both worlds!" ”

The real big problem is always something that someone can see, just to see if it will be taken seriously, Li Jiancheng is very satisfied with Zuo Guangdou's words, it seems that this is a talent, Li Jiancheng secretly asked Wang An's name, Wang An told him that this is Zuo Guangdou Li Jiancheng nodded It seems that he is indeed a loyal minister.

Some people agree and some people oppose, but the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of History, Zhou Jiamo, said: "Your Majesty's Weichen feels that this matter is still inappropriate, and the problem of farmland and displaced people has never been put down by the imperial court, but in recent years, the weather has been really bad, which has led to the displacement of most of the farmland grains. It's just that this is also a problem of the weather, and as long as the year returns, these problems will be solved according to the situation, and even if you want to prevent it, how to prevent it? Farmland has always been planted like that, either water or soil, and then it completely depends on God's will, only when the disaster occurs, the imperial court can get the news, and it is to know in advance where the disaster will be affected in various places... He will still be affected by disasters, and at that time, the imperial court can only open a warehouse and release grain, so there is no good way to prevent natural disasters! ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes narrowed when he heard him say this, what kind of person am I, this is simply a 17th-century 'realist', if you can't solve it, you can't fucking solve it! Li Jiancheng hated this kind of person the most, and he said: "Then according to your wishes, don't worry about this matter?" ”

Li Jiancheng's tone was strange, and Zhou Jiamo also felt weird, and he said: "Your Majesty's subordinates don't mean this, it's just that there has never been a good way to do this, and as long as the year is better, the farmland will naturally recover!" ”

Zhou Jiamo's words resonated with many people, in fact, this can't be blamed on them, this is the case, even if you really know that a certain realm is going to be affected by disasters today, what can you do, it's not to open a warehouse and put grain to feed them first, but you can't feed them for a lifetime, this is also a matter of no way, eat so much, the people have to be displaced, everything depends on God's will!

Li Jiancheng said with a gloomy face: "Then what if this kind of natural disaster will continue to become more and more intense for decades?" ”

The ministers were all shocked when they heard what Li Jiancheng said, and someone immediately arrived: "How can such a thing be possible under Your Majesty?" I want to come to this disaster is a year or two, as long as the year is good, it can be restored to the past, I will be forever in the Ming Dynasty, and your majesty does not need to worry too much! ”

You don't need to be careful, this is how your Ming Dynasty perished, of course Li Jiancheng will not say this, he said: "Do you know how the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty perished? ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng said this, the ministers were silent again, and many people were in a cold sweat, indeed just like what Li Jiancheng said, if the Ming Dynasty continued to make this disaster continue and become more and more intense, then it is really necessary to revisit the old road of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is also unfavorable for the past year, and the natural disasters continued, resulting in the people not eating, so the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, which is almost the same as Li Zicheng's peasant uprising.

Seeing that these people were silent, Li Jiancheng said: "So we must pay attention to this matter, we can't wait for it to happen to solve it, we must have a preparatory plan." I thought about it, and there are two solutions to solve this problem! ”

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded, and the emperor not only thought of such a big problem, but also had two solutions! Therefore, everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to hear what plan this emperor had to solve this problem that people could only endure for thousands of years!

Li Jiancheng looked at them like this, and he was also happy to pretend to be thirteen, he said: "The first is to move the people. The people who have been affected by the water and soil will find a way to relocate them to places with good water and good soil, and the national policy should pay attention to this aspect and give them the most convenient conditions for implementation! As a plan, we will discuss where to move it in line. The second one is to increase new crops! ”
