"Even if Grandpa didn't go to war, the land would be unevenly distributed, and the status quo of land annexation would not be changed at all, as has been the case in all dynasties. Even if it can change one city and one place, there is no guarantee that it will be the same for the whole country. It's like the theory of interest distribution that grandpa said, there are too many people and interests involved, from the emperor's relatives and relatives, to the nobles of the court, down to the government officials, gentry, and landlords, it can be said that it affects the whole body, even if I can rely on my grandfather's prestige to deter Xiaoxiao, complete land measurement and redistribution, then what about my father's day? ”

"There will still be a new class of nobles, who will also compete with the people, and the land will still be unevenly distributed. At that time, the people will have no land, no source of livelihood, and countless people will still starve to death. ”

These words are not Zhu Zhanji's nonsense, this is the essence of the society of ancient feudal dynasties, and it is also a common problem of all dynasties. The pursuit of interests is human nature, and it is impossible to eliminate it, especially in such an era when it is really possible to not eat, and it is really possible to starve to death, the pursuit of interests has almost been transformed into the degree of biological desire for life, which is the nature engraved in the genes.

For people in the 21st century, a bag of rice may be just a bag of rice, and without it it will not have much impact on their lives, but for this era, a bag of rice is the life of a family in many cases.

Imagine that in an era when almost everyone has experienced the crisis of hunger and death to a greater or lesser extent, the pursuit of material things is unprecedented.

Even if it is developed in the future, that fear of hunger memories will keep people in a state of crazy greed all the time.

This point Zhu Zhanji can clearly feel the difference from the older generation of grandparents and parents' generation in the previous life.

Even the lowest-income member of a family can fully meet all the basic food needs of the family with a portion of their salary. But when he was young, he could still see the dried bark on the windowsill of his grandparents' yard.

At that time, he always thought that it was some special medicinal herbs or something, but once when he heard his mother talk about it, he realized that it was because his grandparents' generation was poor and hungry, so at this time of year, they would dry some things in advance that could not be used as food in modern people, that is, they were afraid that they would not be able to eat at any time, and they would be hungry in times of crisis.

And in life, even if they live in a bustling city, they can still do not spend a penny every day.

When you pass by, you will collect and sell any bottles and cans.

As long as they can make a penny more, they will definitely do it for their generation. On the contrary, people in the new era will consider whether it is worth it, whether they want to think about it, and whether it conflicts with their own poems and the concept of distance.

This is the difference of the times, and when people who have had this kind of experience enter the officialdom and get the power in their hands, they can easily seek personal gain for themselves, and the harm to society can be imagined with a single thought.

And when this situation occupies the mainstream of this society and becomes a common phenomenon, it can almost be said that 10,000% of the land will occur and become more and more intense.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji knows very well that under the existing tax system, the phenomenon of land merging cannot be changed, and even if it is changed by force, it will continue to rebound one day, and even far exceed the status quo.

But Zhu Zhanji knew these questions, and Zhu Di didn't understand, so he snorted lightly and said: "These words are also known to any minister of the DPRK and China, the key is how to solve them, if you can answer a reasonable way, you will pass this level." ”

Listening to Zhu Di's words, Zhu Zhanji is not out of the question, even if he can't think of it with his personal brain, but there is history to learn from. It's just that Zhu Zhanji didn't answer directly, but asked very curiously: "Grandpa, what we said is to test the ability to handle government affairs, are you sure you can solve this problem?" ”

Since it's a test question, the person who wrote the question always has to know it, right?

Could it be that if you ask how many stars there are in the sky, you have to answer them? Isn't that just a joke?

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's questioning, Zhu Di was really embarrassed in his heart, this was a good test, but he threw out such a dead end that the Manchu Dynasty could not solve by civil and military affairs, which was somewhat embarrassing.

However, Zhu Di understands in his heart, but the questions are out, is it difficult to admit that he is playing tricks?

can only continue to say stiffly: "Don't talk about other messes, if you kid doesn't have this ability, you can obediently deal with grandpa honestly here." ”

Looking at the old man's arrogant and unreasonable attitude, Zhu Zhanji could only rub his temples speechlessly.

"Actually, there is no solution."

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji really dared to take this, Zhu Di was immediately happy. Just kidding, this age-old problem can't be solved by you kid.

"Go on."

Zhu Di didn't question it at the first time, but he was ready to take the opportunity to correct the education in his heart.

If this eternal dead end can be solved by Zhu Zhanji, a mere hairy boy, then the ministers of the DPRK and China who have gone through vicissitudes and have been crawling in the quagmire for decades will not live.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji didn't know Zhu Di's thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, but after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Actually, the method is still very simple. There are three ways to solve the problem. ”

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's words became more and more arrogant, and even said it very simply, Zhu Di couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but Zhu Zhanji was young after all, and Zhu Di didn't care, if the young man was not angry, was he still called a young man?

If young people become calm and cautious in what they do and what they say, then what do they need to do when they are old?

Therefore, although Zhu Di didn't think that Zhu Zhanji could really say anything good, he still didn't interrupt him and let him continue.

Young people have to make mistakes, and only when they make mistakes can they progress and learn.

"The first of these is definitely to reform the current tax system. If you want to achieve a situation where no one will starve to death under the tax system of the imperial court, you must first be satisfied, and tax according to the actual situation, collect more money and more grain, and collect less money and less grain, at least to ensure that under the current tax system, the people who have no source of livelihood will not be subject to any pressure from the tax system, so that these extremely poor people can achieve at least no entry and exit. ”

"Only in this case can the people be guaranteed to starve to death because of the taxes of the imperial court."
