Party strife has been immune, and the Great Wu Dynasty is certainly no exception.

At present, the court can probably be divided into three parties, among which the first assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song, a bachelor from a poor family, represents the interests of thousands of poor students, and is called the cold party.

The Han Party, with the rise of Yan Song, has greatly increased its strength, this party from a poor family and from the end of the micro is well aware of the scourge of land annexation.

The New Deal presided over by Yan Song was a reform aimed at land annexation, known as Yan Song's New Deal.

The new policy mainly targets three points, first, the Fangtian average tax law.

In the world, the gentry who owned land would more or less conceal the actual land in order to reduce the amount of taxes they paid.

The average tax on square land is to re-measure the land, verify the landowner, and classify the land as a fifth grade according to the quality of the land, as the basis for collecting the land tax.

Second, the Farmland Water Conservancy Law.

Encourage land reclamation and water conservancy construction, and the cost of water conservancy construction should be funded by local households according to the level of wealth and poverty, and loans can also be made from state and county governments to promote the increase of cultivated land area, and to a certain extent, alleviate the damage caused by natural disasters to the locality.

Third, the Seedlings Method.

In February and May of each year, when there is a shortage of crops, the government gives the peasants loans and grain loans, and takes two or three cents of interest every six months, which are repaid along with the summer and autumn taxes respectively, so as to reduce the oppression of the peasants by the non-governmental usury.

Whether the New Deal is good or not, of course, it is definitely good for farmers.

It's a pity that there are countermeasures and policies below.

Of these three policies, one counts as one, all of them infringe on the interests of the gentry class.

In the past, before the emergence of the Seedling Law, people could not afford to buy seeds, so they had to borrow money from local landlords.

If you can't pay off this money, you can only use your own land to pay off your debts, and even some landlords will deliberately make it bad so that you can't pay back the money, so as to take away your land.

As soon as the Seedlings Law came out, the interests of the squires were damaged.

The other two, the Fangtian Average Tax Law, are aimed at large landowners and those families with thousands of acres of fertile land.

These families are famous families in the local counties and counties, and their families are inextricably linked to the government, or they are themselves official eunuchs.

There are people on it, of course, they will not pay taxes honestly, and there are tax evasions in modern times, let alone ancient times.

Some people are frenzied, and the actual number of acres reported is only half of the true number.

Of the 10,000 hectares of land, only 5,000 hectares are subject to grain tax, and the remaining 5,000 hectares are used as hidden fields to avoid payment.

As soon as the Fangtian Tax Law came out, the interests of the big landlords and the big families were damaged, and so far the squire and the big landlords have been offended by the new law.

As for the farmland water conservancy law, it is the local businessmen who are offended.

The family of the merchant is engaged in business and does not directly participate in farming.

The farmland water conservancy law is based on the local wealth and poverty level, and the construction of water conservancy is funded in a unified manner.

The merchant said, I don't rely on farming to eat, you ask me to pay, what kind of money do I pay?

The three policies of the new law are to dig meat from the gentry, merchants, and families to eat for the court and ordinary people.

The people were happy, the court was happy, the squires, merchants, and families were not happy.

What is interesting is that the class that masters the discourse is the ruling class, and the common people cannot make a voice, they are only the ones who are represented.

Therefore, after the implementation of the new law for five years, it has become more and more difficult, and the wave of attacks has been rising higher and higher.

Wang Xu's side, and even Xue Mushan's side, represent the gentry class, known as the Zhu Party, alluding to the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat.

The butt determines the head, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world.

Self-cultivation and family harmony, placed before governing the country and the world, shows that the innate conditions of governing the country and leveling the world cannot harm the interests of my own family.

It may be selfish to say that, but a few can do otherwise.

Wang Xu looks at history, Zhang Juzheng is amazing.

At the age of 12, he was a showman, at the age of 16, and at the age of 23, he was a prince and worshiped the prime minister, and presided over a whip bill, determined to change the weak situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

But three months after his death, the new policy was abolished, the Zhang family was exterminated, and even Zhang Juzheng's body was dug up and whipped, isn't this a irony of a whipping law.

Zhang Juzheng is still like this, it is conceivable that Yan Song's fate is not much better.

Just wait for Yan Song to lose power and the Han Party to be demoted, and the Zhu Party, as a representative of the Qingliu and gentry classes, will definitely return to the court.

The Han Party and the Zhu Party are two deep-rooted parties, and in addition to the two parties, there is a third party, the border party.

The border party, not the edge, but alludes to the border town.

There are demon clans in the far north, and there are barbarian tribes in the 100,000 mountains, which have always been a great trouble for human beings.

In the Confucian world, the scribe is the way, the literary talent is the power, and the poetry is the supernatural power.

Not everyone is interested in fame and fortune, so there are border parties that do not participate in party struggles and are dedicated to guarding the border gates.

The border party is separated from the Han Party and the Zhu Party, and no matter which party is in charge, it only needs money, food, and men to guard the border.

In terms of reputation, the Han Party and the Zhu Party are huge, and in terms of strength, the Bian Party is the strongest.

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis.

Feudal marquis is the supreme pursuit of literati, throughout the ages, only military merits can be crowned marquis, even if the cabinet chief assistant Yan Song, there is no title.

The Confucian scholars guarding the border pass are all a group of war maniacs, and the imperial court can have no Zhu Party or Han Party, but it cannot do without the Border Party.

Once a major war breaks out, both the Zhu Party and the Han Party will have to abdicate and make way for the virtuous, and the whole country will be taken over by the border party.

"The new deal is difficult, and Yan Song is going to lose power, which is good news for me."

Wang Xu's ass, sitting on the gentry class, of course will not cry bitterly, Yan Song is gone, the new deal is repeated, and the people of the world will suffer again.

If Yan Song loses power, his own teacher will be able to take the position.

Before Xue Mushan returned to seclusion, he was the imperial history of the left capital of Zheng Erpin, the leader of the officials, and returned to his hometown because of his opposition to the new policy.

The Han Party has lost power, and the Zhu Party is seeking rewards for meritorious service, and Xue Mushan, who is the vanguard of the Zhu Party, can't just be reinstated.

Zuodu Yushi, on par with the six Shangshu, as a speech official, the possibility of raising the six is very low, and then it can only be entered the cabinet.

Enter the cabinet and take charge of the court!

Thinking of the wonders, Wang Xu couldn't help but steal the fun, there was a pavilion elder covering it, and the future road couldn't be smooth.

"That's what Ho Chi Minh really said to you?"

Returning to Jiuquan Town, Wang Xu visited Xue Mushan and told him what he had heard.

Hearing Wang Xu's words, Xue Mushan didn't seem too happy, but looked sad.

"Teacher, aren't you happy?"

"Happy? How happy? ”

Xue Mushan frowned, held the book in his hand, and said softly: "Do you know how many years has the New Deal been implemented? ”

"Five years, right?" Wang Xu didn't know much about the new policy, only that the Qingmiao Law appeared five years ago.

"Yes, five years, it's not time!"

Xue Mushan put Zhongyong on the table and said to himself: "Time is too short, now that the new law has just achieved results, the Han Party has lost, and the new law will definitely be abolished." I have no objection to the repeal of the new law, but now is not the time to repeal the new law. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Mushan turned his head to look at Wang Xu and asked, "Do you know why?" ”

"Disciple doesn't know..."Wang Xu shook his head slightly.

Actually, he knows a little, but it's hard to say.

The new law benefited the people, the poor gentry, and enriched the treasury, and over the years, the treasury has gradually increased, and even the appropriation to the border towns has increased a lot.

Historically, after Zhang Juzheng changed the law, he ensured the fullness of the treasury during the Wanli period, realized the prosperity of Wanli, and laid the foundation for the three major campaigns of Wanli.

The same is true of Yan Song's reforms, before the reforms, the imperial court was basically unable to make ends meet, but now the treasury is full.

Among the Zhu Party, they may not be without such insight, but their identity and position do not allow them to implement the new law.

If Yan Song and the Han Party are allowed to implement the New Deal for 10 or 20 years, and then the New Deal is thrown into dust, the family foundation left by the New Deal will ensure stability for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years later, once again falling into the cycle of making ends meet, when the time comes, it will be a new round of changes.

The Han Party and the Zhu Party continued over and over again, just like the alternation of summer and winter, which ensured the stability of the dynasty.

It is indeed early to bring down the new policy now, and the imperial court has not yet accumulated a family foundation for the winter.
