Chapter 118: Everyone is happy

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong were so angry that their faces turned pale.

The little brothers saw their father being scolded, which was even more uncomfortable than their own scolding, Zhu Cijiong even clenched his little fist, wanting to rush forward and knock down Gao Hongtu with his old fist.

However, Chongzhen had no expression on his face.

Chongzhen was actually not angry at all, but felt funny.

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Xie Xuelong, and Zhang Youyu should still have excellent personal ethics, and Shi Kefa has never even sought personal interests for the family.

This is also the shining point of the Donglin Party.

But this is not the case with the Jiangnan gentry group behind the Donglin Party.

The official gentry clique in Jiangnan is not only greedy, but also tries to legally own the official land that has been encroached upon!

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the 50 million acres of official land in Nanzhi were directly leased to the people by the imperial court for cultivation, and the rent of one mu of land was only five liters and three in five spoons, and no extra spoonful was charged.

To be honest, this land rent is really outrageously low.

Calculated according to the yield of two stones per mu, the tax rate is only 2.675%, and even less than 30 taxes!

At the beginning, it was always carried out in this way, but after the Jiajing Dynasty, the gentry began to encroach on the official land.

Hai Rui went to Huating to clear the land encroached upon by the first assistant Xu Jie's family, which was not private land at all, because there were only 60 million mu of cultivated land in the entire Nanzhi, and the official land occupied more than 50 million.

Most of the gentry in Jiangnan encroached on the official land of the imperial court.

Of course, the Jiangnan gentry will also openly take Nanzhi as their own, but arbitrarily transfer Nanzhi to tenant farmers for farming, and the land rent of seven liters and eight scoops per mu that should be handed over to the state treasury has always been handed over to the state treasury.

However, for the tenant farmers who were tenants in the south, the burden of land rent became completely the same.

Since before the Wanli Dynasty, the tenant farmers of Shige Nanzhi actually paid less land rent? The average is between 70% and 80%, and the average land rent is 70%, 50%!

Where did the middle 47.325% of the land rent go?

The 47.325% land lease is about 47 million taels!

The 47 million taels all fell into the pockets of the Jiangnan gentry!

People's hearts are greedy, and it is a common mentality to have Longwangshu.

Before the land rent was divided, the Jiangnan gentry wanted to get less.

As long as Xiao Ming still exists, the Jiangnan gentry can only divide the land rent.

Only when Xiao Ming perishes, can we take the 70 million acres of Nanzhi as our own.

That is the internal logic of Nanming's "party struggle will destroy the country, and the country will also be party struggle".

Because there is a discussion that Fu Zhibo is still a eunuch led by Ma Shiying and Ruan Xiaocheng, they all regard Xiao Ming as a state-owned enterprise, and when Xiao Ming dies, we can only divide the profits of state-owned enterprises, and once Xiao Ming dies, we can directly carve up the state-owned enterprises themselves, so that Xiao Ming's state-owned enterprises become the private enterprises of the Jiangnan gentry.

It's just that the Jiangnan gentry thought too naïve and beautiful.

When Jiannu went south, Xiao Ming really perished, and those greedy, ignorant, bold and brave Jiangnan gentry suddenly discovered that Jiannu simply talked about the rules and took the pot away.

Back to the topic, at that time, the 70 million acres of Nanzhi in the Sage had already been carved up by the Jiangnan gentry.

The Jiangnan gentry is also the financier of Xie Xuelong, and we provide Xie Xuelong with activity funds through a simple relationship network built by the relationship between teachers and students, the same year, colleagues and relatives, etc., to help Xie Xuelong rise to a low position, and then let Xie Xuelong in turn become our backer and talisman, and finally form a whole.

By the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Xie Xuelong and the Jiangnan gentry seemed to have become a stitching monster.

Therefore, Chongzhen's proposal to sell Nanzhi is purely to rip meat under the Jiangnan gentry group, and that is, to ask the Jiangnan gentry group to pay a war tax of 5 taels per mu, so what is it?

Don't say it's 5 taels per acre, 5 dollars is OK!

The Jiangnan gentry have long regarded the 70 million mu of Nanzhi as their own private property.

Let's pay for our own private property, what do we think?

So Donglin Dang and the others thought about it and came back directly, and Low Hongtu even opened his mouth to scold, so he almost pointed at Chongzhen's nose and scolded me for being a filial son.

Chongzhen laughed and said: "Nanzhi can really be sold? ”

"It can really be sold." The Donglin Party wept bitterly, "You Xiao Ming rule the sky with filial piety, and the sale of Nanzhi under the Holy Majesty is the sale of the ancestral industry, that is, the smallest is filial piety, so the foundation of your Xiao Ming is destroyed, the country will be the country, and the day will pass!" ”

"Eight Thoughts!" Zhang Youyu, Fu Zhibo, and Fu Zhibo cried bitterly and kowtowed again and again.

Low Hongtu is ready to take off the beam crown, that is, it is a beggar bone, but a stack of picks.

"Good, good!" Chongzhen pointed to the Donglin Party and the others and said eight good words in a row, and shouted with a white face, "They are letting them collect commercial taxes, and Nanzhi who sells Shi Ge is also good, and this is the head office of Huangzhuang who sells Jingshi, right?" ”

"Selling the Imperial Village? That's fine. Low Hongtu straightened his head with both hands.

Chongzhen asked Fu Zhibo and the others again: "Fu Zhilao, Jiang Ge Lao, and there is no solution to the pavilion elder?" ”

Fu Zhibo and the others were stunned, and said blankly: "There is naturally a problem with selling the Huangzhuang, but now that the Jingshi has fallen, and the Huangzhuang is in the hands of Jiannu, how to sell it?" Who will buy it? ”

"Then it's up to them." Chongzhen said with a white face, "Are they accurate?" ”

Low Hongtu snorted and said: "His Majesty's words are too damning, he is the emperor, who can stop him from doing things if he wants to?" ”

"Do you feel sorry for the low pavilion to say that kind of thing?" Chongzhen snorted and said, "I want to collect business taxes, and I also want to sell Shi Ge Nanzhi, but I was stopped by them?" ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Low Hongtu retorted in a low voice, "The non-ministers who are stopping him here are the ancestors of Xiao Ming!" If His Majesty wants to abandon the ancestral system of Xiao Ming, then Gu, the ministers will definitely have seven words. ”

"Let's stop here." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I want to sell the Jingshi Huangzhuang, and I also want to punish the land and property of the noble officials and gentlemen who have taken refuge in the thieves and the slaves, and sell them all in one, should the elders refuse to see them, right?" ”

"Do you have any opinions?" Low Hongtu said sullenly, "As long as His Majesty can sell it." ”

"That's what Lao Ge Lao is worried about." Chongzhen said, "I naturally have no way to sell it. ”

After the foreshadowing of the two rejections, Chongzhen's eighth proposal was finally successfully passed.

"In this way, Chongzhen's eleventh year national expenditure budget has been agreed." The Donglin Party also breathed a sigh of relief.

Low Hongtu, Zhang Youyu, and Fu Zhibo are also unhappy, because we can say that the court discussion on state expenditure has successfully reached its intentions.

When Shi Kefa left, the Donglin Party said again: "Your Majesty, the seventh item on today's court discussion is the draft man, and Xiao Zongbo has drafted a draft plan......

"Stop here!" Chongzhen interrupted directly.

"Huo Qubing knows the truth that the Huns have not been destroyed, why is the family as the truth, am I still like an ancient? Besides, I no longer have eight imperial heirs, and I am also worried about the lack of national capital, right, Guantian Lao? ”

"That!" The Donglin Party was speechless, and Low Hongtu and others were also right.

Actually, we just want to tie Chongzhen to Nanjing through Xiunan's gentle township.

He said that he was an emperor who stayed in Xuzhou all day long, mixing with the small head soldiers, what was he like?

Well, what the civil officials are really worried about is that Chongzhen will become the seventh emperor of Yongle and the little emperor of Chongzhen!

If Chongzhen is really allowed to create the same martial arts as the little emperor of Yongle, and then cultivate a group of nobles like Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Yu, there will still be no room for civil officials to beak under Xiao Ming's court?

Therefore, the Donglin Party instinctively wants to stop Chongzhen from guarding the border, and that kind of thing will be handed over to the military general, if he is really suspicious of the military general, he will send another supervisor to take charge of us.

Chongzhen stared at Donglin Dang's eyes and asked, "Elder Guantian, they should believe in my ability to command troops, right?" ”

"Of course it will." Donglin Dang hurriedly said, "The battle of Xuzhou is enough to prove the ability of His Majesty to use troops. ”

"I just understand." Chongzhen said, "Why are they so resistant to me personally defending Xiao Ming's borders? ”

"His Majesty's words are wrong, and the ministers are not contradicting His Majesty's personal defense for Xiao Ming." Low Hongtu frowned and said, "The ministers are just worried about the safety of His Majesty, and they hope that His Majesty will not be safe." ”

"It's a small thing, but it's a must." Chongzhen said suddenly.

"As long as the salary is in place, I will be as safe as Mount Tai in Xuzhou."

"Besides, the Son of Heaven guarding the country is the ancestral training of the ancestors, how dare I go to it."

"Even if I really have nothing to do, and there is no prince, king ding, and king yong, Xiao Ming's sky is falling."

Chongzhen himself said that to that extent, Fu Zhibo, we have nothing to say, because the Son of Heaven guarding the country is really the ancestral precept set by Emperor Cheng Zuwen, and Chongzhen personally guards the border is to obey filial piety.

As courtiers, we can always trap the emperor and be filial.

When the Donglin Party said: "Okay, the matter of such a draft man is mentioned, and then the eighth item will be discussed, Enke." ”

Zhang Youyu, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, continued: "Before the Jiashen National Disaster, the Beijing officials were small and young thieves surrendered, resulting in a small number of vacancies in the Beijing officials, and a number of vacancies were already made from the provinces, but the local officials were vacant in small quantities, so the ministers asked the Holy Majesty to try a Keenke and select a group of suitable scholars for Xiao Ming, so that they could only go to the local prefectures and counties. ”

"I'm right." Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay if it's me." ”

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "The mine supervisors and tax envoys can all be removed, but the workshops under the inner court institutions such as the Weaving Bureau and the War Bureau can always be left unattended. ”

Hearing that, the seven members of the Donglin Party looked at each other without any surprise, right?

Listening to the tone of His Majesty's questioning, could it be that he wanted the civil servants to manage the various institutions of the inner court?

When the lower Hongtu asked in a tentative tone: "Your Majesty, what if you let the officials select a group of officials to fill the position?" ”

"Are the officials of the Ministry of Officials enough? If so, it is also necessary to test Enko. Chongzhen said, "So it's going to be so troublesome, I plan to directly screen the chief officials of the various supervision bureaus of the inner court from among the scholars of King Fengzhaoqin, and a few cabinet elders should have nothing to refuse to see, right?" ”

Donglin Dang said: "His Majesty originally did not have the right to promote officials, so how could the ministers approve. ”

Chongzhen said: "So this matter is so decided, I am afraid that the official signature of the seventeenth prison is reapplicable, how about being collectively called the secretary and superintendent?" ”
