Chapter 198: Dirty Deal
Everything in the world is always trading.
It's like the law of conservation of energy, which is going on all the time.
Looking at the yamen of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion in front of him, Zhu Yunxi threw the horse whip in his hand to Sun Cheng on the side.
Before they could walk up the steps, the officers and soldiers in front of the yamen had already bowed down and clenched their fists.
Entering the main hall of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, Zhu Yunxi saw that the founding prince Changsheng and the Liangguo prince Lanyu just fell off their buttocks on the left and right, and sat on the top positions on the left and right sides of the main hall.
Obviously, these two have just arrived.
The timing of the step is very accurate.
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.
This is the pattern of the military above the court today.
Silently, Zhu Yunxi walked in front of everyone present and walked straight to the throne of the Metropolitan Governor of the Chinese Army.
"Ministers, see the emperor's grandson."
The meritorious generals stood up and clasped their fists in salute.
Zhu Yunxi nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioning for everyone to sit down.
And he was quietly staring at the people in front of him.
Except for Chang Sheng and Lan Yu, all the people present here are the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Hou Ye and Uncle have been in the Ming Dynasty for 25 years this year, and they have all reached the end of their prime, but they still represent the soldiers and troops of the Ming Dynasty.
None of the people present did not have the title of meritorious service.
Today's doomed dirty deal is not eligible for those lieutenant generals and colonels who have never attained the rank of meritorious service.
Even if they have 10,000 acres of fertile land at home.
Because, the people present already represent the Ming military.
"In a hurry today, I invited you to come here, for the sake of the Daming Society, and I hope that your uncles and predecessors Haihan."
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, and his words were very polite, but the content was not polite at all.
The whole sentence can be reduced to a single word.
This is to do business, no matter wanton, no matter the so-called uncles and predecessors.
Lan Yu and Chang Sheng glanced at each other.
The two of them are moving less and less now, and with the third elder of the Chang family entering the palace as the commander of the forbidden army, no one can stop the Chang family's rise again.
Lan Yu can only give way, otherwise the entire system will collapse and cease to exist.
And with the entry of Tang Li of the Xinguo Mansion into the court as the governor of the Chinese military capital, the military in Beijing was inevitably divided into a small group.
The affairs of Zhejiang Dao are known to everyone present.
Spread into the mu, the official gentry is integrated, and the heavy tax businessmen.
All of this is inseparable from the people present.
The two princes looked at each other, and the people below were also silently speculating.
Chang Sheng couldn't resist Lan Yu's eyes, turned his head and said: "Please also ask the grandson to show me, for the sake of the Ming Society, the ministers will definitely live up to the trust and do their best!" ”
As usual, as long as someone in the army speaks up, many things are settled.
But at this time, Zhu Yunxi obviously looked at the Liangguo Gong Lanyu on the other side.
Blankly and a little confused, Lan Yu couldn't help but get nervous for a while.
It's a nervousness for no reason.
After a few breaths, Lan Yu said in a deep voice, "The same is true for the ministers. ”
The hearts of everyone present moved slightly, and the emperor's grandson's move was obviously a reiteration and implication once again that the Duke of Liangguo and the Duke of Founding Guo in the army were two people, not a gang.
This will not be determined by their actual relationship, but by the will of the emperor or the royal family.
Zhu Yunxi finally sat down.
After sitting down, Zhu Yunxi said the second sentence after arriving today: "Zhejiang Province is promoting the apportionment of the mu, the integration of officials and gentry, and heavy tax businessmen, what do you think?" ”
No one spoke, and there was silence in the main hall.
Everyone knows that the imperial grandson is not asking them to give their true thoughts at this time, but just to let them know that what Zhejiang Dao is doing is now in front of them.
This made everyone present very embarrassed.
They are the merits of the Ming Dynasty, they followed the emperor's old man when he founded the country, and they sacrificed their lives and died all the way to fight over, they bled and were injured on the battlefield, and many old guys fell in the founding of the new dynasty.
Over the years, the old man of the emperor has killed many of his former comrades, and they have become more and more peaceful, just getting more food for each family in the countryside.
Now, this honor is also about to disappear.
It's false to say that you're willing, but what if you're not willing?
Those generals in the army who are not qualified to participate in today's transaction that can be described as a Hongmen banquet are waiting for their positions all the time.
For no reason, these talented and reckless men in the army have become literate in their minds, and an idiom comes to mind.
A glass of wine dismisses the army!
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already spoken.
"What happens in Zhejiang Dao, everything will come true! This is a national policy, and it is a matter of the country's society. ”
"The dynasty has been twenty-five years now, and on Xuanwu Lake, the number of acres of land in the world has been published. If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, the same is true for upholding national politics. ”
"The world is getting more and more populous, more and more. The imperial court takes the exam every three years, and the so-called reading seeds are becoming more and more. ”
This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi said in a calm tone, and then looked at the meritorious generals of the dynasty in front of him.
His tone changed suddenly, implying a deep meaning: "Nowadays, the DPRK and China are also marching north every year, the soldiers are victorious and triumphant, and the court always has to give a reward." ”
At this point, he stopped.
The Ming Dynasty has gone through twenty-five years, and the current Ming Dynasty is not just the time to drive away the remnants of the former Yuan.
At that time, it was common for the fields under the world to be deserted, the population was sparse, and it was common for people to disappear for thousands of miles, and it was also common for thousands of acres of fertile land to be uncultivated.
It's just that after these 25 years, under the genes of the people of the Central Plains who have worked hard since ancient times, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to find a field that no one cultivates.
Even in a year of disaster, when the people abandon the fields, the government or the rural gentry will make use of it, and it will never be wasted.
But this is not the end, on the way to Zhejiang Road with Xia Yuanji this time, Zhu Yunxi asked a lot of questions, all of which were within the scope of the responsibility of the household department.
In just the past 25 years, the land of Daming has not only been planted with crops, but also reached the point where there are many people.
The household department can see with the naked eye that there will always be a lack of a place that can collect taxes.
It is very unreasonable that the amount of resource production is not decreasing, but the resources that can be expropriated are decreasing.
There is only one reason for this.
A large number of social production resources have been appropriated by private individuals.
As Zhu Yunxi said, the scholarly gentry, the meritorious generals, and the clans that he never spoke, one by one, constantly encroached on the land that had not grown into private ownership.
Fattened private individuals and starved the country.
Chang Sheng, the founding prince who had been prepared, sighed slightly, and things finally reached an unbalanced point.
It's just that he was prepared, and silently stuffed his hand into his arms.
Before he could take out the book of the number of fields that had been counted in the family recently.
Zhu Yunxi, who was above, had already taken out a notebook and slapped it on the table.
"King Qin sent to supervise the disaster relief in Zhejiang Province, and felt the suffering of the people, and the second uncle, as a clan, couldn't bear the people of the world to experience the days of starvation and clothing."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi raised the notebook in his hand and shook it in front of everyone.
"King Qin said, this time in the land of the Qin Domain, according to the fixed number of acres of Zhejiang Dao, pay the tax per mu in full, and enter the warehouse of the household department."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of that day, when he was about to rush back from Hangzhou to the sky, he was stopped by the second secretary who had been hiding in the Yamen, the political envoy of Daobu, Zhejiang, for a whole winter.
Zhu Yunxi clearly remembered that the second uncle's expression that day was very complicated, which he had never seen in the eldest prince of the Ming Dynasty.
The second uncle didn't say anything, but just handed this invitation to Qin Fan to implement the integration of the officials and gentry into the mu, and then shouted that the woman who was sent into the back office by Liu Man before was very powerful.
Zhu Yunxi could only take it with a wry smile at that time.
He knew very well that this second uncle was probably afraid. Half of Zhejiang Dao was cut down by his own hands, and he was afraid that he would reproduce this scene in the Qin Domain.
Everyone in the world thinks that King Qin is a violent man, but they don't know which of the founding princes of the Ming Dynasty is stupid.
It's just that because of their status, they are allowed to have a variety of different personalities.
When Chang Sheng, Lan Yu and the others heard this, their faces changed dramatically.
Everyone knows that with the statement of King Qin, the first prince of the clan, they have no excuse to refuse the exploits of following the Ming Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is worried about the country and the people, and he is an example for the country, and the ministers should work hard to be a model."
Chang Sheng was the first to react, took the opportunity to take out the notebook that he had touched in his hand, got up and walked to Zhu Yunxi, offered it with both hands, and carefully placed it on the table.
Everyone looked at the notebook taken out by the founding prince with puzzled eyes.
Everyone sensed something was wrong.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the second uncle in front of him vigorously, and then glanced at the book that was placed in front of him.
It's just that he didn't flip through it.
Instead, he said to everyone present: "There is another piece of music here, which is going to be presented to the old man together with this piece of music of His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
Under the gaze of everyone, today's recital and book seemed to be without money, and another book was taken out of Zhu Yunxi's arms.
"This is a concert to invite the old man, and the imperial court opened the Royal Military Academy in Xicheng."
The Royal Military Academy, this is one of the items that Zhu Yunxi is preparing to make this dirty deal.
Except for Chang Sheng, everyone present didn't understand what this was.
But the word academy is clearly audible.
Is it like the Confucian academy that teaches and educates people?
Just as these people were wondering what this Royal Military Academy was.
Zhu Yunxi has already opened his mouth to explain: "In the twenty-five years of the dynasty, there are more and more veterans in the army, if you can still fight for a few years, how many years will it take for the children of the family to become talents?" Please open the Royal Military Academy, take all the meritorious veterans in the army, teach me the knowledge of the Ming soldiers in the college, and after the meritorious service, the military cadres will be enrolled, and I will be a Ming soldier! ”
The first item of this transaction, Zhu Yunxi spoke.
And in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, there was already a noise.
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen stood up directly.
"Taisun, is this serious?"
