"I don't ask about immigration, I have this consideration, but this is not the way to ......"

Zhu Houwei paused, turned around and looked at Yang Yiqing with blazing eyes, and said half-loudly: "I have been with Yang Qing for so many years, my temperament, Yang Qing knows, Yang Qing's ability and temperament, I also know very well, I know that Yang Qing, as a benchmark for Confucian scholars, sometimes can't help himself, as a minister of the Pillar State, more often he can't do what he wants, and I also know that Yang Qing has already had the idea of retiring, and it is estimated that after the immigration policy is completely over, he will have to ask me to resign."

Yang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at the emperor blankly, this sentence really said that he was in his heart.

Daming now has no external troubles, no internal worries, and even the emperor himself has let the officials govern, but Yang Yiqing knows that no internal worries are the real internal worries!

Immigration will end one day, and the fact that the land policy, which the emperor often talks about, has not even touched the slightest bit is extremely unusual in itself.

It can only be understood that the time has not come, when will it come, and the answer in Yang Yiqing's mind is after immigration!

"Whether the Confucian scholars are loyal or treacherous, the most important thing is always the name behind them, even if they are traitors and evildoers, they also want to get a good name, pity the one who is loyal to this nickname......"

Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly and said: "Qin thieves have brought disaster to the country and the people but have been loyal to them, it is simply a big joke in the world, Song Ningzong deprived him of his prince and changed his slander and ugliness, which is really a very happy move, but since Qin Hui, there is no loyalty and dedication, and a good good word is indeed ruined by this traitor."

"Yang Aiqing also thinks that after a hundred years, it is human nature to be able to get a good name, even if the rapids retreat bravely, I take it for granted, but in my opinion, there is still a difference between the name after death and the good name of the ages."

Yang Yiqing was puzzled......

"Take Qin Hui as an example, he died and was loyal, that is, he won a good name after his death, but justice is in the hearts of the people, and he was changed to be ugly after a few decades, so where did he get a good name through the ages?

Yang Aiqing is worried that I will take action on the land policy, and I also know that land is the deep-rooted and stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, once I do it, it is unimaginable that it will be involved, and then Yang Aiqing may become the enemy of all those who have benefited greatly because of the old policy, including Yang Qing's close friends, including fellow villagers in the same year, and even the entire Confucianism!

Therefore, Yang Qing was hesitant and even more worried, on the one hand, he wanted to start and finish well, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would go to the opposite side of the interest class in the whole world, and eventually be spurned by the scholars, resulting in a ruined reputation after a hundred years, which is really difficult......

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

Zhu Houwei smiled: "I won't force anything, if Yang Aiqing is too worried, how can I be reluctant, if I dare to bet on a Lang Lang eternal name, I will also be fulfilled."

Yang Yiqing took a deep breath and said, "How does Your Majesty plan to rectify it?"

"If Da Ming is a giant, then with the passage of time, this person will age and eventually die, but if this giant still has a blood leech lying on his body, then the process of death will be accelerated, I have reformed many measures, delayed the process of aging of the giant, and even allowed the giant to recover from middle age to youth, and then glow with vitality, however......

If this leech is not removed, the giant will still die one day, so I once said that it would become a joke to let Daming get rid of the cycle of fate.

Therefore, I kicked the clan and nobles out of the Ming Dynasty and let the new dynasty completely change the government of the magnates from scratch, and the ultimate goal is to completely eliminate the interest group of the magnates!

However, if you want to cure it, this stubborn disease is still the land!

As long as China does not switch from agriculture to industry, then the rebellion of the people will not be eliminated, so the land policy must be changed!

But I will not rely on the imperial power to forcibly deprive the existing interests of the land, even if I know that the vast majority of these lands are annexed by powerful people, I will not encroach on them, which is an act of banditry, and I disdain to do it.

So how to change the land policy, I will take three steps, one of which is to clear the acres of land and thoroughly find out how much land is under the world and which land is hidden! Second, the gentry pay taxes as one, and the Ming Dynasty does not need a tax-exempt class, and third, overrun land is heavily taxed! ”

Yang Yiqing trembled, what the people were worried about was not within the three items that the emperor said!

The ministers thought that the emperor wanted to carry out land reform, and the most likely thing to implement was the policy of reducing land, such as limiting how much land tax exemption the nobles enjoyed, and conducting an inventory, and the gentry class either strictly limited or implemented the set tax exemption, such as 400 mu is 400 mu, and more than one mu is not allowed, so that a large number of people can be restricted from contributing land, and there is also a possibility of reducing land, such as reducing the tax-free land from 400 mu to 200 mu.

When this kind of thing still existed in the cabinet, Yang Yiqing discussed it several times with several cabinet elders, and came to the conclusion that if such a land reform was carried out, it would indeed have some effect, but the effect would be just like that, because the noble gentry could think of too many ways to deal with this government.

But Yang Yiqing never dreamed that the emperor could be so ruthless, so ruthless that he didn't intend to leave three points of leeway.

Yes, the core of the emperor's land policy is the second ......

The gentry pay taxes in one piece!

There is no such thing as a noble, because sooner or later the nobles will be thrown out, and the people will be gone, so where will the land be exempt from taxation.

The core of the second article is that there is no tax-free land in the Ming Dynasty from now on, no matter what you donate or not, no matter how much land you have in the name of your family, the taxes that should be paid must not be less!

This alone shattered ninety percent of illusions and countermeasures, and the emperor solved the land question in the simplest and most brutal way, but also the most difficult.

However, the gentry paying taxes as a whole cannot solve the problem of land annexation, so how to solve land annexation should be the third point!

But even the third point has loopholes to exploit!

Of course, it doesn't make much sense to talk about land annexation now, and now it's the second one that makes Yang Yiqing's scalp numb!

The scholars have studied hard for so many years, in order to be a master, to become a member of the privileged class, what is the privileged class, land tax exemption is one of them!

The emperor wants to deprive the scholars of the right to tax exemption, which is equivalent to destroying the privileged class of the Ming Dynasty!

"Yang Aiqing is scared?" Zhu Houwei smiled and looked at Yang Yiqing, who trembled slightly.

Yang Yiqing said with difficulty: "The matter is big, Your Majesty has changed it like this, I am afraid that the whole world will be violently turbulent."

"Turmoil?" Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "How turbulent, are the gentry going to rebel?" Or do all the scholars unite to dismiss the official and coerce me, if that were the case, I might not be able to ask for it! ”
