Chapter 278: I'm an ambitious person too

"No, he's been trapped."

Immediately afterwards, he learned that Zhu Yunxi bloodily suppressed Yang Feng, who was a scholar and a Confucian student, and immediately found out that this was wrong.

It was normal for him to give the order to shoot.

Zhu Yunxi was originally more short-tempered.

The genes of the old Zhu family and the old Chang family are more violent.

How many of his uncles aren't painting storm abuse?

King of Qi, King of Qin, King of Jin......

All of them.

In fact, Zhu Di is also very tyrannical.

It's just that he is more restrained in front of Yang Feng.

To be precise, everyone was more restrained in front of him.

But Zhu Di is also a slaughter city in the Western Regions, and a person who can order the slaughter of the city without hesitation is definitely not a good person.

Zhu Yunxi's performance department is really not like the old Zhu family, Zhu Yunxi is just the normal painting style of the old Zhu family.

What's more, he was originally bewitched by Yang Feng to look down on Confucianism, and the Confucian students felt that they were elites and Wenqu stars, but in his eyes they were a group of green worms, and Yang Feng was quite sure of his grandfather's statecraft, so he also took his grandfather as an example in the way of being a king. Now these Confucian scholars are clearly bullying him, in the past, when his grandfather was there, one by one shrunk like quails, and now that he has officially succeeded to the throne, they dare to play against him one by one. This is bullying him, that is, he thinks that he is a young man, and he does not have the murderous spirit of his grandfather, if he doesn't come to be ruthless and beat down this crooked atmosphere, those ministers will think that he is easy to bully.

It's normal to shoot.

This kind of thing is shot when you shoot, the Son of Heaven kills and takes it, and it is their blessing to reward them with a bullet.

But the key question is why did these Confucian scholars do this?

For Zhu Yunwen?

Where did he get such a big face?

Zhu Yunxi's succession belongs to the positive and cannot be corrected.

Hongwu twenty-five years was set up as the emperor's grandson, and then has been personally led by Lao Zhu to learn to govern the country, to Hongwu twenty-nine years, it has basically completed the de facto transition as the emperor, and then Lao Zhu is basically equivalent to the emperor, government affairs are completely handed over to him, that is, some major military operations, Lao Zhu only asked, it can be said that his throne can not be questioned by anyone.

So with the normal painting style of these Confucian students, shouldn't they hurry up and sing praises of virtue?

Why did they deliberately provoke him?

This is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism has been spoiled.

They just got rid of Lao Zhu's shadow, and even if they got a little carried away, they wouldn't come to this point.

"The princess said that now the gentry in Jiangnan have completely regarded him as a traitor, and there are still rumors about him, saying that his grandfather was poisoned by him, and that it is unfilial piety for him to decree the abolition of the funeral, and that he is learning demon law from you, in short, all kinds of sensational rumors. There are even people who use tabloids to encourage the Shanxi gentry to follow the example of the original Shanxi gentry and organize self-government in the civil organization, after all, the manufacture of arquebuses and Franc machines is now rotten on the street, and you can build it by just finding a decent Minye. In this case, the civil armed forces are easy to increase, at least the old-style army of the imperial court is difficult to crush as in the past when facing this kind of armament, and the generals of the guard can also be bought, after all, the generals of the guard are actually under the suppression of Zhu Yuanzhang.

So I suspect that they are not actually for anyone to be the emperor at all, they just want to use this incident to engage in local autonomy, and the Shanxi incident you made the gentry feel grass, and in the final analysis, they have no loyalty to the old Zhu family.

I'm just afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Especially in southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, which was originally Zhang Shicheng's territory, was originally hostile to Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is also Huguang.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, and the proliferation of new musket technology has increased the civilian armed forces, they have also begun to become bolder.

I suspect that this time, including Zhu Yunwen's escape, was a plan, he fled, lit the fire of the little emperor, and then created public opinion, labeled him as unfilial piety, and first turned him into a ruthless and unrighteous faint monarch among the people.

Then he instigated Confucianism to provoke him, lured him to suppress it by force, and finally fainted the king and became a rebel.

In this way, it creates panic among the people.

And I suspect that some of those vassal kings also cooperated with them, not necessarily for the sake of the throne, after all, his throne is still very upright, but he can divide the whole country. The vassal king became a real prince, and the local gentry gained more freedom, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang's system was very unfriendly to the gentry, and they desperately wanted to take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's death to free themselves from the shackles. After all, it is still unprecedented for them to be allowed to lend usury, not to mention that they are not allowed to trade in gold and silver, and they are not allowed to trade at sea.

The reform of the imperial examination has angered countless village sages who have cultivated and read heirlooms.

There are also banking monopolies.

The gentry were eager to open a bank.

There is also a compulsory settlement of foreign exchange.

The gentry didn't want to have a foreign merchant with a lot of gold and silver, and in the end they only got the money.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was really afraid of them, but Zhu Yunxi was not strong enough to make them really afraid, if you were in the capital, they would probably be able to endure it, but at this time, the people had already spread that you didn't get the news that the fleet was back, so you went to sea in Guangzhou, and then capsized at sea.

It is also said that you were killed by a poisonous snake in the mountains and forests of Guangxi.

There is also a fairy who said that you met a demon has been accepted by the immortals.

Anyway, I found all kinds of ways for you to die.

This should be an important reason why they are bold, otherwise with you by Zhu Yunxi's side, they may not have the courage.

And now the most important thing is what will happen to those vassal kings.

Zhu Di and others have already arrived in Xi'an, the King of Liao and others are heading south, and they have already played for the second time to ask Zhu Yunxi to give Zhu Yunxi the title of vassal king, I suspect that their gang will meet in Kaifeng, and then give Zhu Yunxi a joint action. In addition, the King of Shu and the King of Min were stopped by the King of Xiang after they arrived in Jingzhou, and they had entered the palace of the King of Xiang in the name of persuasion, and the King of Chu had not moved in Wuchang, and Zhu Yunxi had issued orders to urge him many times, but he just said that he was sick and stayed in Wuchang. He only moved to the domain the year before last, and at this time, most of the guards in Wuchang were his old department, he just didn't leave, and Zhu Yunxi couldn't do anything for the time being, after all, as long as he rushed to the capital before the funeral, it wouldn't take a few days to go straight down from Wuchang.

This is clearly a common advance and retreat. ”

Sister Liu said.

As a bystander, she can see more clearly than the little princess.

The latter asked her to tell Yang Feng some specific situations at most, but as a bystander, she could analyze calmly, not to mention that she also had an expert group as a consultant. Research there is still slow, but this kind of groundbreaking scientific research project that is likely to be epoch-making is what it is, and it is not uncommon for decades to be studied.

That's just over six years in total.

And after the initial attention, it has now been treated as a normal scientific research project, although there is still an academician in charge, but it has become a research institute that can only be said to be a key project.

After all, this kind of research does not lead to direct benefits.

I can only talk about looking to the future.

"It's funny, is this going to force the new monarch to play Magna Carta or the feudal princes?

One step further or one step back? ”

Yang Feng said with great interest.

Obviously, his years of tossing have made the hearts of the Ming Dynasty grow grass, after all, he has brought not only new technologies, but also new ideas and new systems, but when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, no one dared to try, and now that he is dead, someone will immediately be unable to hold back.

In a sense, he has already quietly changed the country.

It's just that Lao Zhu is pressed like a mountain, everything is still just like the grass under the stone, he has to endure the heavy pressure, waiting below as if it doesn't exist, and when the stone is overturned, he immediately can't wait to try to stretch out. Now it can be said that the country has reached a critical junction, and it is still a three-way street, the vassal king wants real feudal princes, one person gives them a vassal state, and they are really the monarchs of the vassal country. Just like the king of Chu, he actually holds great power in Annan, why should he accept a political secretary of Annan, the capital of Annan, why is it not a monarch who really controls everything?

Everyone is the descendant of the emperor of Daxing, can't you be the emperor and we be the princes?

The empire is so big.

Isn't it okay for one person to divide one province?

After all, which vassal king has no ambition?

There are many provinces in one province, and how many provinces can be divided, right?

Like now, either give a big fart to a barren and bitter cold land, or throw it to a foreign land that can be said to be a foreign land, and let them overcome the thorns and thorns themselves, which is very difficult to accept, like King Zhou, it's not too much to seal Longyou, right? What can a Huangzhong do? Like King Qing, the whole of Ningxia is not too much, right? It's not too much for King Su to seal the entire Hexi, right?

Even if it is like the King of Liao, no matter what, he has to seal the Shanhai Pass to the Liao River.

They are all phoenixes and dragon grandchildren, you can't let us suffer and suffer outside, you enjoy the world of flowers and flowers in Jiangnan.

As for the gentry, they should be freed from the shackles, they should open up their trade to the sea, they should open up usury, and they should lift the ban on gold and silver trading......

In particular, the forced settlement of foreign exchange.

At present, the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty must use treasure banknotes is forced to settle foreign exchange, overseas merchants to Daming no matter what business must use treasure money, even if they bring gold and silver, they have to take gold and silver to the bank to exchange treasure money to trade, otherwise once they catch the private use of gold and silver trade, then the gold and silver copy no one beheaded. And encourage reporting, once the report is caught, the whistleblower gets all his property, so there have been fishing in several trading ports along the coast, and several overseas businessmen have been murdered over the years. This is too unfriendly to the gentry, no matter how big the business is, they can only get treasure money in the end, although the treasure money is currently stable, but it can not be used as a wealth heirloom, although the bank does allow free exchange, but for the exchange of large treasure money is still looking for death.

Exchange it today, maybe tomorrow Jinyiwei will come to check on your rebellion.

As for your innocence......

Then the torture instruments in the prison have the final say.

In fact, small amounts of gold and silver were freely convertible, and the reason for the disclosure was, of course, that the mint's production was limited.

Of course, Yang Feng will not give silver ingots, and the current outflow from the bank is gold and silver coinage, which is similar to the style of copper coins, but gold and silver.

The gentry, of course, longed to be no longer reaped by this frenzied monetary policy.

The Ming Dynasty has been fighting in the east and west for many years, spending huge amounts of military expenditure every year, but the treasure money has been stable, not through forced foreign exchange settlement, the gold and silver that should have fallen into their hands into a bank, and the bank guaranteed that Lao Zhu could throw out a lot of treasure money, and then make arms to reward soldiers, so that they can wear the latest armor and hold the magic weapon to expand the territory.

These are all the gold and silver of the gentry.

Well, they think it's all their gold and silver.

Confucianism is not important.

They should have been pushed out by the gentry as cannon fodder.

After all, someone has to rush to the front.

Zhu Yunxi reformed the imperial examination, and Confucianism was hit hard, who did they not rush?

Therefore, what the gentry wanted was actually to unlock the shackles that Zhu Yuanzhang put on them, and then began to move towards the late Ming Dynasty in the original history, that is, the so-called embryonic stage of capitalism. It is not only economic, but also land, taxes, salt industry, etc., and it can almost be said that they are dissatisfied with all the policies left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Land Transaction Restrictions.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the land should not be bought and sold across the capital, not that it was forbidden to buy and sell land across the capital, but that it was not allowed to transfer the ownership to the name of the buyer in the outer capital, and the buyer wanted to buy it, he must have an independent sub-household in the capital.

In this way, the concentration of land in the name of a large landowner was restricted.

You can buy it.

But you divide the households to the fields where they are.

There is also the open middle system.

Needless to say, the pain of the salt merchants.

……

I have to say that Lao Zhu is really too unfriendly to the gentry.

The emperor's path was to continue his grandfather's and carry out some reforms, which was actually designed by Yang Feng for him, first of all, to suppress land annexation to the greatest extent, to control the financial industry through banks, to firmly grasp the currency power, and to maintain the stability of treasure money. In this way, the monetary power was avoided by the gentry, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's finances in the original history, in essence, was the loss of monetary rights, the treasure banknotes existed in name only because of the depreciation, and a large influx of overseas silver made silver the main currency, and the silver was in the hands of the gentry, and the gentry held the country's monetary power. In order to avoid this, the emperor must grasp the power of money, and must maintain the stability of the treasure bank, and adhere to the monetary status of the treasure bank, and the basis of the stability of the treasure money is, of course, the monopoly of the financial industry of the banks and the forced settlement of foreign exchange.

With these two in hand, the finances are basically invincible.

After all, you can print money and issue government bonds.

As for the vassal king, it was still the clan reform he was embarking on.

or get money to go to Beijing to be a public apartment.

Either one family will give you a small fief in a remote area, or you will have to choose one anyway.

Three routes.

Classical feudalism, the budding capitalism, big government control or to use another word.

"What are you going to do?"

Sister Liu said with interest.

"Look."

Yang Feng said.

"Looking? Not afraid of them fighting? ”

Sister Liu said.

"Nonsense, if they don't fight, how can I interfere? Just let them make trouble, it's just the beginning now, how can the show be interrupted at the beginning? I have to watch them make trouble, and I will make a move when I need to make a move, after all, I am also an ambitious, no, I should be a person with ideals.

If they don't make a big fuss, how can I have a chance? ”

Yang Feng said.
