Chapter 678: Heaven and Earth are Great, and Imperial Power is the Greatest
Silent.
There was extreme silence in the Fengtian Temple, except for the squeak of a fan turning.
This issue is too sensitive.
Ordinary courtiers didn't dare to express their stance at this time.
Expressing support?
Then you are against the national superstructure, and you will be excluded in the future, not to mention your career, and it is estimated that the family behind you will be implicated.
Oppose?
With the strength of the imperial power of the Son of Heaven now, opposing the Son of Heaven is also death.
Zhu Jianji silently glanced at everyone.
This reaction was expected by him.
Said slowly: "I am also very worried about this matter, after all, the involvement is huge, the impact is far-reaching, and there is no perfect implementation plan and means at present, and it is difficult to formulate policies for a while, so about this matter, all the secretaries here, one is counted as one-"
glanced at Wei Nanfeng in the corner, and said with a smile: "Including Wei Tietuotuo, all the Qing families, tonight overnight, a letter of chapter folding, detailing the opinions on this matter, can talk about the pros and cons, but Chen said that there are all kinds of strategies, sealed with wax, and tomorrow through the cabinet without reading, presented to the Qianqing Palace."
The ministers sighed in their hearts.
Your Majesty has a good calculation!
Let everyone make a decision, and wax and seal, and not allow the cabinet to open it, that is, keep it secret, so that everyone can truly express their position on this matter, and His Majesty can decide whether to immediately solve the problem of land annexation according to the number of people who support and oppose it, and the status.
It's a conspirator!
But no one could say no.
This is where the imperial power is strong, although the Son of Heaven is only the spokesperson of the interests elected by ***, but the imperial power is the imperial power, and everyone has to abide by the rules of the game if everyone does not tear their faces.
As long as the Son of Heaven does not tear his face with the entire superstructure, then any single magnate wants to fight the imperial power, it is looking for death.
Because the Son of Heaven is the greatest magnate.
Especially today.
It owns the most land, and controls the most elite and violent institutions such as the Jingo Army.
Don't say anything, the local capital of the Ming Dynasty has millions of troops.
It is not enough to see in front of the Jingo army.
One million troops, and one hundred thousand elites, are not the same concept at all.
Counting the many dynasties in Chinese history, almost all of the elites who can come up with more than 100,000 are the peak of the major dynasties.
Local garrisons and elites are completely different things.
And you have to know a concept: how many troops you have, then when the army goes out, it will need several times the number of men and laborers to ensure logistical support.
Therefore, the more than one million troops of the local capital divisions could not pose a threat to the imperial power at all.
But then again, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Expedition Army, did use a lot of people, but they were prepared very early, and a large amount of grain and grass had already been transported to Xuanfu and Datong, plus there were steam trucks, so the emperor's Northern Expedition and the people used were actually hundreds of thousands - otherwise the treasury would cry and cry poverty?
These hundreds of thousands of people also have to eat and consume grain and grass!
Fighting a war is definitely not the imaginary idea of getting hundreds of thousands of troops out and finishing the matter, the most difficult thing is logistics, there is a saying in later generations: Give Zhuge Liang unlimited instant noodles, can you defeat Cao Wei?
The answer is that there can be unlimited instant noodles to solve the logistics problem, and Zhuge Liang can fight to Siberia!
The southern expedition army of the Ming Dynasty was 500,000 people, and the people of Yunnan and Guangxi were supported by the people in the early stage, and in the middle and later periods, they basically plundered the labor, grain and grass in the occupied areas.
So the domestic consumption is not too big.
However, Huguang, Guangxi, Fujian, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places also recruited a large number of people to support the southward expansion war, so Zhu Jianshen was in Guizhou, so he did not dare to easily use troops to "convince people with virtue".
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
yuanapp】
Because if Guizhou mobilizes troops, it can also support logistics, but the people will be miserable.
In this respect, Emperor Chenghua is Emperor Chenghua!
Commendable.
Therefore, under such common sense, the 100,000 Jin Ge Group Army in the hands of the Son of Heaven is really invincible in the world, with few people, but its lethality is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are logistics supply and transportation artifacts such as steam transport vehicles.
Under the above factors, the current imperial power of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be unprecedentedly stable.
Therefore, even if the ministers knew that His Majesty was a conspiracy, they had to accept it - in fact, as the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, they were vested interests, and they were also people who were sensible in their studies, and among the courtiers present, not only the three relatives of the Hang, Bai and Lu families felt that land reform could be carried out, but also a group of people agreed with this move.
After all, it's a group of people who stand tall and look far away.
Although most people do not have the ability of Wang Anshi, they have the same ideas and cognition as Wang Anshi to implement the Qingmiao Method.
Therefore, after the three major relatives expressed their opinions, the rest of the courtiers also received the decree.
Zhu Jianji looked at the ministers with satisfaction.
The heart is dark.
The purpose of today's tea party has basically been achieved.
No matter from which point of view, after fighting the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, the Ming Dynasty should stop, digest the new territories at the same time, and solve its own problems.
The issue of land annexation is at the top of the list.
It has to be resolved.
If it is not resolved, then the country's finances are likely to collapse under the pressure of a continuously exploding population – even with the Daming Bank.
Because the state collects taxes, the people do not give money.
It is to give food.
And the state can not collect taxes, then the grain will be in the hands of the powerful, rich, landlords, scholars, squires, in this era, no matter how strong your Ming treasure money is now, in front of the grain is the little brother.
And the treasury has no grain, and at the same time the landlord group controls a large amount of grain, so they arbitrarily manipulate the operation of the currency and control the lifeblood of the economy.
So Zhu Jianji's idea is very simple.
Landlord groups, you can develop into capitalists.
But it is absolutely impossible to grasp the lifeblood of the country!
Grain must be received from the state treasury.
And only in this way can the people of the country live a good life, have a larger population, and make more contributions to the sustainable development of Daming.
One person can't push Daming to become an industrial overlord and continue.
A person can be a hero of one thing or a period, but it is impossible to be a hero of an era.
But the people of the whole country can!
Although industry, commerce, firearms, military industry, electric power, and other industries are booming, the people involved in these industries are still a minority.
There are more than 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty, and more people still rely on the land to live.
Zhu Jianji got up, "That's the end of today's tea party, I have prepared a dinner party, in order to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition, today's monarchs and ministers drink together, and they will not return if they are not drunk!"
The thief smiled and said, "Starting tomorrow, your family will be busy."
Exploitation of labor, I am professional.
