In the previous life, Zhu Youzhen also tried to change many times to change the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.

Taking the clan as an example, he also issued an edict to lift the shackles on ordinary clans, allowing the clan to gain fame and become officials, and allowing ordinary clans to work and do business. However, many initiatives cannot be implemented when they are localized. How can the clans be able to pass those scholars in the meritorious examination, and in the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, only a few clans have successfully passed the meritorious examination.

As for allowing ordinary clans to work, they were opposed by a number of vassal kings, and in order to exploit ordinary clans, those vassal kings advised Chongzhen to dispel their thoughts on the grounds that the laws of their ancestors could not be violated. Chongzhen himself had a good face, thinking that he couldn't let the clan do the work that only those subordinates did, so he gave up. In the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, ordinary clans lived miserably, and a large number of clans could not get Lu rice and had to beg for a living.

In the last life, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen can be said to have tried his best, but many assumptions did not consider the reality, coupled with the non-human used, as well as his own impatient personality, doing things and employing people have a beginning and an end, so that many things are getting worse and worse, and the more you do, the more wrong you are, and the Ming Dynasty gradually slides into the abyss irretrievably.

And in this life, everything is different. Now that Mongol has been pacified, Jiannu has been driven out of Liaodong and fled to Mobei, and the external troubles have basically been eliminated.

Now Zhu Youzhen has a powerful army, more than 100,000 elite Praetorian Guards in hand, and he is only loyal to him. The current Zhu Youjian inner treasury is full, and there is no shortage of silver to raise soldiers for the time being. And through the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, the establishment of martial arts and business schools, over the years to cultivate a large number of talents, talents who really belong to him.

What he has done and what he has achieved in the past three years has given Zhu Youzhen strong confidence and given him the confidence to solve a series of stubborn diseases in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the situation in the Ming Dynasty has improved slightly, there are still many problems, and the clan problem is only a small one, and the bigger problem is the rotten system and the intertwined network of gentry and officials in the government and the opposition.

Zhu Youzhen always wanted to completely solve the problem of the gentry, wanted the gentry to pay grain in one piece, and even wanted to implement the practice of equalizing the land, taking all people's fields into the possession of the state, and then distributing them to every peasant, so as to truly realize that the cultivators have their own land.

Only when the land is completely equalized, only when the cultivators have their own land, and when the annexation of land is prohibited, can the people of the world never be afraid of hunger. If there is no land annexation, with the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem at all to feed hundreds of millions of people.

If you really can't do it, you can also expand your territory and expand to the surrounding places. Annam, Siam, Luzon, Borneo, Java, and even Tianzhu, there are rich lands overseas! Those small countries in the West can occupy land everywhere to colonize, why can't the Ming Dynasty? With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem in occupying the surrounding countries.

However, if you want to complete Junda, the difficulty is too great.

With Zhu Youzhen's current strength and the powerful army in his hands, it is very likely that he can do it if he announces the implementation of the gentry's integrated payment of grain. The army is in hand, and the gentry is not satisfied with the extermination of the family. Although the gentry were dissatisfied, they would not resist fiercely, after all, it was not just confiscating the land but paying taxes, just like opening a tax department to collect commercial taxes, and no one dared to resist?

What the Tartar Emperor Yongzheng can do, he can definitely do!

However, Zhu Youzhen was unwilling. After experiencing the soul tour, Zhu Youzhen is extremely yearning for the society after 400 years, and the simple gentry can no longer make him feel satisfied.

But if you really want to equalize the land, it is tantamount to completely digging the foundation of the gentry, there is no land to annex, there is no way to exploit the tenant serfs, how can the gentry become gentry? The gentry in Jiangnan are better, many gentry earn a lot of silver through business, and do not rely solely on the fields, but for the gentry in areas where commerce and trade are not developed, moving their fields is equivalent to asking for their lives, Zhu Youzhen can imagine how great the resistance is, maybe there will be many gentry who will take risks, and even incite rebellion and gather people to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, with the Praetorian Guard in their hands, it was possible to forcibly suppress the rebellion. But if there is a rebellion in all provinces of the country, it is not easy to have a strong army of 100,000 under the flames of flames.

At that time, the gentry in all provinces were opposed, and the local officials were bound to deviate from morality, and there were even those who supported the establishment of a separate court by the vassal king. There is no one available in the court, money and food cannot be raised, what is the use of relying only on the Praetorian Guard, after all, Liaodong and the three sides are still unable to be self-sufficient, and the grain and grass are heavily dependent on the provinces? At that time, it is necessary to kill one province after another, and the blood will flow like a river, so as to achieve Juntian.

In that case, there will be a very large number of deaths, no less than a change of dynasty, which Zhu Youzhen is unwilling.

So how to start implementing his own ideas, Zhu Youzhen is really at a loss.

Zhu Youzhen pondered, summed up the measures since he ascended the throne, and thought hard about ways to break the situation. Then he found that the reason why the situation in the Ming Dynasty is so good now began with his own personal expedition to northern Shaanxi.

It was that royal expedition that completely eliminated the rebellion of the displaced people in northern Shaanxi. Without the Northern Shaanxi Exile Army, the worries of the Ming Dynasty were immediately reduced by half.

Taking the opportunity of pacifying the exiled army, he killed the gentry in northern Shaanxi, and distributed his land wealth to the poor people, so as to get the full support of the people of northern Shaanxi.

In the past three years since returning to Beijing, I have stayed in the palace all day, although I have factory guards as my minions, I still feel that I can't exert my strength, and I feel that most of my energy is dragged down by countless trivial things, and I don't have time or energy to think about it.

It seems that it is time to make a move, find an excuse to "drive in person" again, leave the Forbidden City where you are trapped, and get out of the court before you can start to implement your plan!

Only when you really go out can you find an opportunity, just like going to northern Shaanxi to quell the rebellion of the displaced people. Such a radical change could not be achieved by simply issuing a decree in the palace, and it had to be done by himself. And in order to avoid causing chaos, Juntian cannot be mentioned directly, but should be like in northern Shaanxi. You must control the heat yourself.

Of course, if you want to get out of Beijing, you have to find excuses. At present, although there are occasional rebellions of displaced people in various provinces, they are not on a large scale, and there is no need for the imperial driver to march in person, and it is not very good to always use the pacification of the displaced people as an excuse. And this time Zhu Youzhen wants to go to not one place, there are many things to do.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Youzhen decided to leave Beijing in the name of worshipping his ancestors.

pacified Mongolia, incorporated the entire Monan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, such a merit far surpassed the previous emperors, expelled Jiannu to recover Liaodong, and completed the cause that the previous three generations of emperors did not complete, such a merit is enough to go to the tomb of Emperor Taizu to boast.

Go to the filial piety tomb to worship the ancestors and sweep the tomb, this reason is above board!
