In fact, the difference between Western European women and Ming women in terms of living conditions is not too big, almost ninety percent of these Western European women were transported to Xinjiang and became Xinjiang residents, planting and working in this new land, and not forbidding marriage and childbearing, which almost promoted ethnic integration.

The three prisoners said that Emperor Jiajing's treatment of Confucianism was similar to that of Western Europeans, which could not be miscalculated, to put it bluntly, it was digging roots.

The inheritance of people depends on childbirth, and the inheritance of Confucianism needs to be passed on from generation to generation of Confucian students.

"What do I think is the connection between the new land reform policy and the tax case?" Zhu Houwei looked at Zhu Zaikun with a smile on his face, his eyes full of encouragement.

"The child feels that killing two birds with one stone complements each other."

"How?"

"Because of the people!" Zhu Zaikun said cautiously: "Local officials meddle in taxation and deceive the people, and the tax officials are newly educated but colluded with Confucian officials, which in itself violates the original intention of the emperor to govern the world and put the people first."

There are so many hidden households in the Ming Dynasty, and so many people choose to dedicate the land under their names to the name of the scholars, at this time, because the heavy taxes make it difficult for ordinary people to bear, they surrender their land, which nominally belongs to the scholars, but in fact?

In fact, these lands are still owned by the people, and the scholars will hardly forcibly occupy them, such as lifting people and showing talents, these meritorious scholars are all villagers, even if they want to annex the land, they are not willing to bear the infamy.

The people who donated the land avoided paying taxes, and they only needed to pay much less money and food to the scholars than the taxes, so that they could avoid taxes with peace of mind under the protection of the scholars.

But in fact, the taxes that the Ming Dynasty made the people pay were not as heavy as they imagined, because the children looked through the history books and found that only the Taizu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the holy monarch who really put the people in his heart.

Emperor Hongwu was born in the people, under the rule of the tyrannical yuan, he was hungry and poorly clothed, even his parents and brothers starved to death one after another, and Emperor Taizu himself became a monk and a beggar, and finally joined the righteous army.

Therefore, Emperor Taizu knew the people's suffering, and he hated corrupt officials the most, and he knew that at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, he needed to live with the people, so he adopted the policy of lightly paying off the people, and the tax rate was not high, at least a few acres of land, he could feed his family.

However, corrupt officials are rampant, the people are coerced by all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they can not resist the government can only hollow out their minds, so more and more contributions, in order to escape the poll tax, more people's homes become hidden households, this is the disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty, although the dynasties have this disadvantage, but not as serious as the Ming Dynasty.

This time, the rectification of the government and the re-examination of the tax case involved the taxation itself, and the land reform is also a tax, because the Ming Dynasty wanted to eliminate the stubborn disease of land annexation, and by the way, clean up the disadvantages of hidden households and hidden fields.

In this way, those people who have donated the land will know that the land is in their own hands to pay grain to the scholars and pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and it seems that the tax is lighter, then they will ask for the land back.

The heavy tax is to make the scholars who have a large amount of land in their names feel that the gains of keeping too much land outweigh the losses, and there may even be hidden dangers, the more land the greater the loss, so the scholars will take the initiative to sell a large amount of land under the pressure of the imperial court, under the premise that they cannot resist.

Then the people will be able to have more land, and they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment......"

Zhu Houwei nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, my son can analyze to such a point, which shows that his insights into state affairs are deep enough, and he is very comforted by his father."

"Little brother, I don't dare to agree with this!"

Zhu Zaikun's voice was clear, and what he said was the truth, which had already attracted the attention of the diners in the restaurant, and at this time, Feng Fei walked over, hugged his fists and said: "This little brother is invited, I just heard about the current affairs of the little brother, and there is no lack of truth in what he said, but there is some reason, and I don't think so."

"Which ones?" Zhu Zaikun got up and bowed back.

"Dare to ask the little brother, why did the dynasty let the Shi clan own land tax-free?"

"It is the grace of Emperor Taizu, and it is the Ming Dynasty that needs a large number of scholars to emerge to govern the world, so there is a policy of encouragement."

"Since it is grace, then why abolish it at will, I know that the corporal clan in the world does occupy a lot of land and is exempt from taxes, but since it is more occupied, the inventory is, why should it be beaten to death with a stick, and the corporal clan in the world is full of complaints."

Zhu Zaikun said with a smile: "Grace comes from the top, no one who reads the book doesn't understand, since grace comes from the top, then why can't the superior take back the grace?" As for the complaints, it is a joke, the nobles were deprived of the right to tax exemption, so that their original sense of privilege and superiority was gone, and their own interests were damaged, so they were dissatisfied, they complained, but they accepted so many people's contributions, when the tax-free land in their names far exceeded the limit, shouldn't they think about embezzling the country's taxes, how shameful it was, and betraying the books of the sages they read? ”

Feng Fei's face was a little unpleasant, and said: "It is true that what the little brother said is not unreasonable, but the essence of the Emperor Renhuang's tax borrowing case to kill the world is for land reform, how can this be done by the Holy ......Monarch?"

Zhu Zaikun looked at Feng Fei with some surprise, you must know that what Feng Fei said can already be regarded as a big rebellion, if you really want to investigate, I am afraid that you will have to be guillotined!

"Shouldn't the officials involved in the tax case be killed?"

Feng Fei was suffocated, the evidence of the murdered officials in the tax case was conclusive, and it was all published in the newspaper and publicized in the world, where can there be innocent, but now Shilin unanimously believes that the emperor is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, the punishment of the tax case is fake, and the sword pointing to the land reform is true, so he was speechless when Zhu Zaikun's words refutated.

"After the Holy Monarch succeeded to the throne, how many maladministrations were reformed, and how many doubts were received at the beginning of the reform, but what ...... the result" Zhu Zaikun said solemnly: "It can be seen that today's Ming Dynasty is thriving, the national strength far exceeds that of previous dynasties, the people are more than rich, the territory is expanded to the outside world, and the country is peaceful and peaceful at home, and the emperor has created an unprecedented prosperous Ming Dynasty in the voice of doubt, is such a king a faint monarch in your eyes!"

"That's not what I mean under ......"

"That's what you mean!" Zhu Zaikun snorted angrily: "What you see is always your own interests, it doesn't matter if the country is rich or not, it doesn't matter if the people are poor or not, all you care about is yourself, do you know why the emperor doesn't like Confucianism?" It is because Confucianism is too selfish and distracting, because Confucianism will enjoy everything with peace of mind, but few people will think about giving back to the country, how about the poverty of the country? If they are rich, what if the country is weak? Their ability to survive is much stronger than that of ordinary people......"

Zhu Zaikun's gushing words caused the people in the restaurant to praise and cheer, and Feng Fei, who was said to be self-conscious, had no choice but to flee in the wilderness......
