"Yang Aiqing is right, but Yang Qing's eyes are still limited to the territory of Daming after all."

Zhu Houwei sighed: "Every time there is a catastrophe, starvation is the norm, the people are displaced, the people are not able to survive in order to survive, they can only rise up, those who did not take the lives of the people as their lives in the past, those profiteers who want to make a windfall by the disaster, can only fall under the knife of the angry people one by one."

Is it wronged? It is not wronged, it is the society that is really wronged, because for the rich and unkind, for the gentry and unjust, they force the people to rebel, small rebellions can be quickly extinguished, but once the vigorous peasant uprising forms a scale, then even if it can be annihilated, it will eventually be a great injury to the national strength.

What is the cost of the great damage to the national power? You Aiqing know better than me that the cases recorded in the history books of the past dynasties are everywhere.

One of the high-yielding crops such as potatoes is that they can produce a good harvest on barren land, and that people will not starve to death even if they are struggling to survive in a disaster year.

Second, with high-yield crops as the auxiliary food of the staple food, then the people's homes can feed more children, so the population of Daming will grow explosively!

I had heard that even in the relatively affluent south, because the people could not afford to raise children, many girls were buried alive or drowned.

Is it cruel? Of course it's cruel, but the tiger doesn't eat children, and it doesn't matter to anyone, but I know their helplessness, because if there is one more mouth, the whole family will starve, and if you feed a few more mouths, the whole family will be at risk of starvation.

So they chose to make a decision, rather than raising them reluctantly, it is better to make a break as soon as possible, just hoping that their children can be reincarnated to a good family when they are reincarnated, pitiful. ”

"Mother, are you crying......" The sensible eldest princess stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the queen's eyes, but unfortunately the lotus root arm was too short to reach......

"The queen mother didn't cry, but she was blinded by the wind." Empress Xue showed a smile, the emperor's words just now reminded her of when she was a child, when there were poor people in the township who gave away their children directly or drowned them directly, which was really miserable.

"With high-yield crops, the population of the Ming Dynasty will increase, as we all know, the main reason for the reincarnation of the dynasty is the annexation of land, but it is precisely because the land cannot support a huge population.

And war is the best way to reduce the population, so the war at the end of the dynasty was in full swing, a large number of people died, and when the new dynasty was established on the ruins of the old dynasty, the people were already dead, the old interest groups were eliminated, the new interest groups rose, and the cycle began.

If I want to solve the fate of the dynasty, the easiest way is to solve the land problem, not a simple land annexation, if I make up my mind to solve the land annexation, the solution will not be less than two palms.

But this is only a palliative treatment, and the real cure is that a lot of land is needed to feed the growing population!

How to feed, in my eyes there is only one word!

Rob!

The land of the Ming Dynasty can't be fed, so I go to other places to rob it, there is more ownerless land in the world, let's just say that the Americas where this seed is located, I only need 30,000 elite soldiers to suppress its soil, you must know that the land in the Americas is more fertile than the Ming Dynasty, and the area is not under the Ming Dynasty!

How much population can be fed with so much land? Tens of thousands!

The people have land to cultivate and feed their families, but who will rebel? There is no rebellion, as long as the officials rule the Qingming, why worry about the fact that the society of the country cannot last for thousands of years! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"You Aiqing felt that I was reviving miscellaneous studies because I didn't like Confucianism, and I was worried that the rise of miscellaneous studies would damage the Taoist system of Confucianism, so I fiercely argued with me.

But now all of you Aiqing have also seen that if I hadn't tried my best to develop industry and commerce and tried every means to find a way out, how could Daming have undergone such a huge change in just a few years! ”

The ministers were silent, to be honest, the ministers didn't like an emperor like Jiajing very much, not because the emperor was strong, the courtiers would be weak, but because the emperor was too good at tossing, and the tossing action was terrifying.

Confucianism seeks stability and interests, and it cannot afford the consequences of failure in reform, because failure in reform means that a large number of vested interests will be doomed, and the same is true for success, who are afraid that reform will violate their core interests.

But Emperor Jiajing reformed strongly, they had no way, even if they fought in groups, it was useless, and in the face of the king who controlled the righteousness, financial power and military power, they were as weak as babies.

However, the fact that the emperor beat with iron told his ministers how correct his series of actions were, the Ming Dynasty changed, became rich, the army became stronger, and the strong grassland that could be beaten no longer had no enemies, and many people had a better life, because there was no servitude, and the people could support their families through work......

Reform inevitably sheds blood, and thousands of officials have fallen on the road of reform, and the invincible clan vassal king has been served in one pot.

It can be said that Emperor Jiajing's reforms violated the interests of all interest strata such as the gentry, clans, and nobles, but they did not violate deeply, at least within the tolerable range of these strata.

This would be unimaginable in any other period, touching the interests of the whole world, and the emperor still wants to sit on the throne? For the sake of the mud-legged people's lives, they dare to risk the world's disapproval!

It's polite to remove you from the throne, and it's not impossible to kill you!

It's a pity that there are definitely not a few people in the world who want to kill the emperor, but they can only hide this idea in their hearts, and if they reveal it slightly, how can the ghost know if there is a heavenly eye around him, if he is detected with such a disobedient mind, it will be a disaster in the blink of an eye!

The gentry can't do it, and the clan can't do it, I don't believe you look at the hundreds of clans as a guarantee to save a life, but the king of Ning who has been imprisoned so far, and the nobles can't do it, don't believe it, look at the Marquis of Wuding who is still in prison waiting to be disposed of.

The ultimate power of power is the high concentration of imperial power, and any resistance at this time will seem extremely ridiculous.

The guards that have been reorganized all day long dare not move, the Liaodong generals who have been fundamentally injured do not dare to move, and those who have soldiers in their hands have become lambs to be slaughtered, not to mention them, is it possible to use their heads to touch the emperor's butcher's knife?

"Empty talk misleads the country, but industry prospers the country." Zhu Houwei spit out eight words and said: "What I want is a capable minister who can do things, be willing to do things, and do good things, not to be able to write beautiful moral articles, and only talk about it all day long, but in fact it is useless and rotten, can you understand Aiqing?"

"Your Ministers understand." The ministers are all bowing down at this moment!
