"I have decided to abolish the conscription!"

A simple sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone was stunned in this imperial study.

The important ministers of the Jiajing Dynasty felt that they already knew the emperor very well, not to mention the rest, at least Emperor Jiajing was not a rule-abiding monarch, his mind was full of innovative ideas, innovation for the sake of innovation, but any system that hindered his innovation policy was stinky shit.

The ancestral system is not a simple two words, in the world of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral system is an extremely important means for civil officials to limit imperial power, but in the Jiajing Dynasty, what is the ancestral system?

Inexistent!

The courtiers wanted to use the ancestral system to restrict the emperor, which was a joke, although it was not for a long time, but the officials of the Jiajing Dynasty were used to it.

Even the most popular officials who like to find trouble are now consciously not using the ancestral system to talk to the emperor, because there is no need, to say something disrespectful, you use the ancestral system to talk nonsense with the emperor, that is a typical piano to the cow......

Since it has no effect, and the emperor can't help it, then naturally he will not have to open his mouth, so as not to waste his efforts.

But conscription is not an ancestral system!

The system of conscription has existed for thousands of years, and has been used by all dynasties, which shows that it is beneficial to the dynasty and has the rationality of its existence, and in the Jiajing Dynasty, there is no harm to the emperor, so why abolish it?

The purpose of conscription is to requisition people to serve the country, and its essence is to save expenses, and Emperor Jiajing is not short of silver, so he thinks it is not necessary?

That's not how the accounts are calculated.

The emperor has all kinds of income, the Ming wind and rain are smooth, and his expenses are less than his income, so he is naturally not afraid of making ends meet, but what if?

Shouldn't we be prepared for a rainy day?

"Your Majesty." Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty wants to abolish the conscription, in order not to increase the burden on the people, this is good governance, the people of the world will hear it, they will be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but the old minister thinks that there is no need for this, Your Majesty does not have to abolish the conscription, but according to the actual situation and then decide whether to requisition the conscription, otherwise in the event of a catastrophe, if the finances are tight, then the conscription will be started, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have a reputation for going back on his word, but it is not beautiful."

Sure enough, it was Lao Cheng's serious words, and several important ministers in the imperial study all praised him.

Zhu Houwei tapped his fingers on the table and said solemnly: "Xie Aiqing, do you know what I hate the most?"

According to the convention, at this time, Xie Qian only needs to prevaricate by replying to the previous sentence 'The old minister doesn't know, please tell His Majesty', but Xie Qian obviously didn't intend to be false, and said directly: "Your Majesty has been in charge of the country until he ascended the throne, and what he has done, in the eyes of the old minister, the most hated is corruption."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "I am not the only one who hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how many people who have been monarchs in ancient times do not hate?" In order to punish corruption, Emperor Taizu formulated strict punishment laws, but people are greedy and full of luck in their bones, and it is almost impossible to cure it.

I promoted the officials in order to let the officials have a reasonable and legal income, instead of staring at corruption all day long, but how effective it can be, in fact, I don't know the bottom of my heart.

In the final analysis, honesty and honesty depend on the officials themselves, I only hope that they are worthy of the sages and sages they have read, and worthy of their conscience.

What I hate is exploitation! It is the officials who use grandiose reasons and excuses to oppress the people! ”

Several important ministers listened quietly, because as long as they knew something about the emperor, they knew that now the emperor was going to make a grand speech and reason with them......

"Before the imperial examination, the gate lord nobles held power, in their eyes, ordinary people were the objects that could be wantonly humiliated, they could not treat the small people as human beings, because in their eyes, only the nobles were qualified to sit on an equal footing with them, as for the small people, what is it?

The Tang Dynasty died, the five generations of chaotic wars, the gate valve became the smoke and dust in history, and since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination ushered in the dawn for the children of the Han family.

What is Hanmen? The kind of people who can't even afford to eat are not the poor in your eyes, in the eyes of the readers, the so-called poor family can at least pay the bundles, buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Such a poor family is not wealthy, but it is not poor, so in their eyes, they advertise themselves as poor, but they themselves look down on the real poor.

Is it ridiculous? It's not ridiculous at all, so how many officials who took off work to become a scholar and finally went out of the imperial examination can really understand the people's suffering, can uphold justice for the people, and truly realize that as a parent, they can share weal and woe with the people?

No! In the eyes of this type of officials, they look down on all the small people, believing that they are the objects of exploitation and exploitation at will.

The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel! Water can carry a boat, but also can capsize a boat, these words are not cold words in the history books, this is the rise and fall of so many generations of dynasties left a bloody lesson for later dynasties.

When oppression becomes a habit, the resentment in the hearts of the people will accumulate day by day, and when the people expose the rod because they can't stand the oppression, the final harm is the foundation of the country after all.

What is exploitation and what is the exploiting class? The exploiting class is the class that does not work and does not produce itself, and appropriates the fruits of other people's labor without compensation!

Including gentry, nobles, officials, landlords, clans and even royalty! ”

The faces of the ministers were not very good-looking, and the emperor's words basically included all the privileged classes in the world, and he didn't save any face, not only that, but even he himself was not spared.

And if you really want to say it, the royal family is the largest, so the biggest exploiting class is also the royal family......

"What is conscription? Isn't it just to occupy the fruits of people's labor without compensation? Let all the privileged classes reap the fruits of their labor with peace of mind?

If there is no conscription, the court and even local officials will adopt a hiring system for everything, and the common people can obtain the harvest that should belong to them through their own industrious hands and hard sweat.

Will there still be passive sabotage, and will there still be hatred of the government? ”

Xie Qian sighed and said: "It's the old minister's words, Your Majesty puts all the people in his heart and wants to treat them well, the people of the world are very lucky, and the Ming is very lucky!"

Yang Yiqing also said: "Your Majesty's abolition of forced labor, it is actually the world's first good governance, if this government can be implemented permanently, then the people will be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and be grateful to the royal family.

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "It is not easy to talk about thousands of years, and it is simply unrealistic to break the fateful cycle of the dynasty just by virtue of the abolition of a conscription......
