Chapter 340: Demon Shock
The reason why Zhu Houwei was able to challenge the bottom line of the gentry group again and again, and to brazenly attack the tax administration when the foundation was not stable, was that he felt that at least the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty could still be regarded as individuals, and they could appeal for the interests of the gentry, but they would not completely ignore the interests of the Ming Dynasty itself.
If Zhu Houwei wore it on Wanli or Tianqi at the beginning, it would be impossible to say that he could only keep his head in obscurity, slowly accumulate strength in secret, and then bloody suppression of the gentry class, otherwise he would not be able to pull the shameless civil officials of the late Ming Dynasty, even if he had ten mouths.
In the last decades of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong Jiangmen was entrenched in the north as a rock, and asked the court for a huge amount of military expenses every year, but he was raising his own respect.
Bullshit Nurhachi is just a house slave in Li Chengliang's mansion.
If in the later generations, Zhu Houwei did not have enough power to suppress the world, he dared to change the army and dare to unceremoniously deprive the military power of the Liaodong Generals? Dare to dismantle the world's troops?
That's not to overthrow the throne, it's to find death......
It is impossible for those officials of the foreign dynasty who have lost their conscience to have no way to let the emperor die silently in the deep palace, at best, they will leave an unsolved case.
"The first step of the cantonment system is to abolish the eight prefectures of Nanzhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, and the infirm, under the age of 18, and those who are over 30 years old will be dismissed, given land, and changed to civilian households, and the rest of the qualified cantonment soldiers will all enter the Gyeonggi camp to be reorganized, and the number of the Tiance Army will be used.
In addition to the Nanzhili, the soldiers and horses of the Tiance Army set up a military region in each place, with a garrison of 10,000 troops and a garrison of 20,000 troops in the Nanzhili......
"What is a conscript?" Wang Qiong couldn't help but interject.
Zhu Houwei thought for a while and said: "If it is said that the compulsory service of the people in the past is the obligation of the people to work for the government, then this compulsory soldier is also a meaning, that is to say, once the children of the Ming people reach the age, they are obliged to serve in the military, and the service time is at least three years.
As for how to stay, the Ministry of War can formulate relevant policies, and the significance of compulsory soldiers is to allow the children of the Ming Dynasty to receive systematic military education, cultivate patriotic and loyal military thoughts, and refuse to serve, but they need to pay a high amount of money for refusing military service, how much to pay, and the Ministry of War will come up with a charter. ”
"The old minister understands......" Wang Qiong sighed in his heart, Emperor Jiajing is a brilliant man and a hero, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably go far into the previous dynasty in his hands, the only bad thing is that Emperor Jiajing's mind is full of terrifying ideas......
He is indeed a little old, and he is already a little unable to keep up with the pace of the emperor's innovation......
Again, the idea of Zhishi rose in Old Man Wang's heart, but he couldn't make up his mind, because he felt that if he returned to his hometown at this time, he might miss the general trend and miss the opportunity for him to become a famous minister of Zhongxing......
It's a little contradictory, a little tangled......
"This is the first step in the restructuring of the garrison, and it will be extended to the whole territory in the future, and any generals who resist this government will be punished as treason!"
Rebellion is a great rebellion, when Ling Chi, the Zhu clan!
The emperor said this so murderously, which shows the strength of the emperor's determination, this is the absolute will of the Son of Heaven, and anyone who wants to resist this will will be annihilated in the panic of heaven.
"I have a dream, and I firmly believe that it can be realized, even if I can't realize it in my lifetime, as long as Daming operates according to my measures, then this dream will definitely come true."
The eight important ministers showed a look of deference, because they were used to it, and they knew that the Son of Heaven was probably going to say something earth-shattering.
"My dream is that all the people of Daming can have a full meal, can have meat and fish, can have warm cotton clothes when the weather is cold and frozen, and have a house that can resist the cold wind, my biggest dream is to be able to let the people of Daming get rid of the shackles of the land, and to make all the land in Daming free of duty!"
The eight ministers were stunned, if they didn't know enough about the emperor, they would even think that the emperor was crazy at this moment.
Territory-wide land exemption? How can it be!
It's not a question of some gentry land tax exemption privilege, it's simply not realistic.
For thousands of years, no matter which dynasty, even if the country's finances mainly rely on commercial taxes, land tax is still fundamental, which is the pillar of national finance, and it is an unswerving policy!
Anything can be changed, but this one can't work, of course, the government and the opposition also hope to do it, but if it doesn't work, it won't work.
As for what the emperor said, if it is realized within a hundred years, the eight important ministers will be regarded as nonsense, anyway, everyone can't see it, and the emperor can say whatever he likes.
It's good if you're happy.
"I also dream that one acre of land can grow in the land of Daming and can produce three or four thousand catties of rations, and I hope that the rice in the rice field can produce more than one thousand catties per mu......"
The more he said it, the more outrageous it became, the emperor was already stunned, and the appraisal was completed......
Zhu Houwei smiled self-deprecatingly, of course he knew that a few people didn't believe it, and he didn't expect them to believe it, to be honest, if he didn't come from the next generation, he wouldn't believe it.
But he came from the next generation, so Zhu Houwei knew that these were not unattainable dreams.
In later generations, peasants got rid of the land and went to the city to work, relying on the wages of the part-time job to support their families, and the land ...... Instead of collecting land taxes, the state also subsidizes land......
Of course, in order to achieve this, we must first set off an industrial revolution in Daming, so that industry can bloom everywhere in the land of Daming, and in addition, we must find a strong economic pillar industry to ensure the country's financial revenue, otherwise it can only be a flash in the pan.
In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem of land annexation, land is exempt from taxes, and Zhu Houwei wants the people to benefit, not the benefit of the interest class, which directly goes against his original intention and is categorically not feasible.
As for the high-yielding crops, it depends on when the good news will come back from the new armies he sent to America and Luzon, if those sent out in search of seeds are buried at sea, or die halfway through......
Then we can only wait for the Ming Dynasty to open the Age of Discovery, and this day will not be too far away.
There is also a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, which is naturally hybrid rice, and Zhu Houwei doesn't know much about hybrid rice, but he can't be completely ignorant of this kind of weapon to solve the problem of food and clothing for the Chinese people in later generations.
Therefore, when he was ten years old, he sent people to look for wild rice such as male sterile strains, but Zhu Houwei himself did not have the slightest idea of what male sterile strains of rice were, so this search was ten years......
In the past ten years, he spent a lot of money on the people, so that the farmers traveled all over the country, until shortly before he entered Beijing, the sent farmers found the male sterile strain from Guangxi and transported it to Huzhou!
Now the hybrid rice laboratory in Tongzhou is conducting repeated experiments day and night, but so far there have been no results.
It can be said that Zhu Houwei has taken precautions to the extreme......
