Chapter 441: It's Yours, Not Mine
The establishment of Huangzhuang in the Ming Dynasty is generally recognized as starting from Ming Xianzong, who had a will at that time, that is, "to Shunyi County, Anleli Banqiao Village, the eunuch Cao Jixiang confiscated a place, for the palace Zhuangtian".
It's actually not far from Zhu Houzhao. It's his grandfather.
But as soon as this opening was opened, the momentum of spread was very rapid. At this juncture, in the land of Gyeonggi, there are 12,800 hectares of Huangzhuang, and 33,100 hectares of farmland for bureaucrats, ministers, and eunuchs at all levels.
That adds up to 45,900 hectares.
A hundred acres is an acre.
In other words, this is 4.59 million acres of fertile land.
It must be good land, and the official family will not occupy bad land.
"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Shang" also clearly remembers one thing, that is, the Empress Dowager Renshou at that time competed with the people for land, and Emperor Chenghua's disposal method was: the emperor wanted to migrate the people outside.
Therefore, from the end of Chenghua, many courtiers have gone to the emperor and begged to ban the emperor.
Many people who hated the Ming civil officials always interpreted it very simply as evidence that the minister had once again restricted the emperor. Because civil servants themselves are not clean. So naturally, there will be a feeling, 'Tell the emperor to retreat from the field, why don't you retreat yourself'.
In fact, from the perspective of the common people, there is no difference between an emperor and a minister, and they are all people who occupy land.
Do you have to distinguish who is right and who is wrong between the eldest brother and the second brother?
What's even more hateful is that because the battle in the court is very serious, some people keep rising and some people falling, but the land occupied by the criminal officials who committed crimes will not be retreated.
"History of the Ming Dynasty: The Biography of Li Min" records: At the end of Xianzong, Zhongguan and Yu Xing gave Zhuang Tian more. If you are offended, you will return to the official, and the one who is guilty of the crime will be taken away, but the people will not be enriched.
So in fact, Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang are fundamentally one. The emperor can give his imperial village to the 'minister of good fortune', or he can take back the farmer's farm, and if he is happy, he can give it to the prince and princess.
So the land occupied by the emperor is justice? Is it injustice for officials to occupy land?
Without that, it was a kind of land annexation spearheaded by the emperor.
After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he handled cases in Zhejiang, and he also set up Huangzhuang in Zhejiang, but the tax rate set by Huangzhuang there was very low. This is very different from the large area of Zhuangtian in the North Zhili area.
After all, Gu Renyi is a Jinshi, and her emotions are intense, and the music she writes is shocking, as if a painting has fallen in front of her.
Li Dongyang only glanced at it a few times, and his face changed drastically, he knew everything very well.
In history, there was a record that Liu Jin wanted to measure the acres of land and check the military tun, and many people opposed it because Liu Jin was a eunuch.
As a result, Li Dongyang said that he should not object to this matter, and let Liu Jin handle it.
Why stop the self-digging thing?
It can be seen that the minister at this time actually understands what is easier and what is to lose his head.
Maybe...... This is also one of the reasons why there are constantly people who ask the emperor to return the imperial village, and they must not offend others anyway...... You can also earn a wave of fame.
"Your Majesty!"
After reading it, the British public Zhang Mao immediately said: "The land obtained by Weichen is left by the ancestors, and the other is bought and sold at market price, and the minister has not encroached on the people's land!" ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't speak at first, and he waited for everyone to finish reading.
The Emperor's meaning is already obvious here.
"Today, the people have enough food, with Your Majesty's benevolence, why can we hope to fight for the country?! Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. Elder Li Ge, this is what you said to me a few days ago, and I have not forgotten it. You can now see why I say that war is not the root cause. If the people have no land, they can't survive even if they don't fight! ”
In the end, Zhu Houzhao slammed the table!
I thought this thing would make some waves,
As a result, after Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the entire Qianqing Palace fell into a kind of tranquility.
This made Zhu Houzhao's pupils tremble slightly, at this time...... Don't talk anymore?
This made his heart drop a lot in an instant.
In fact, what big deal can there be, he has a direct guard, an army of more than 100,000 people, and for his own safety, he also has a divine guard.
Moreover, most of the Zhuangtian in Beizhili is not a military tun, which will not cause a mutiny in the army.
"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. This is what Elder Ge just said, forgot?! ”
Li Dongyang had no choice, "Chen, naturally I haven't forgotten!" ”
"Then talk back! What about these people?! ”
"If it can, the minister naturally hopes that the people can have fields that can be planted, but the trade of private acres is extremely complicated, and it is not easy to distinguish which ones are encroached upon and which ones are traded. However, for the sake of the people, this matter had to be done, but the old minister thought that it was necessary to think about it in the long run. ”
"Your Majesty." Lin Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said, "As Li Ge Lao said, the buying and selling of acres of land is complicated. But the people take food as the sky, and this matter is a matter of great urgency, and it cannot be delayed for a day. Therefore, the minister thought that the land of the Huangzhuang could be returned to the people first, so as to solve the urgent need. ”
The minister seconded. The first easy and then the difficult is also the connotation of pragmatism advocated by His Majesty. And His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, rich all over the world, and there are still millions of silver in the treasury and internal funds, so why do you need the land of the Huangzhuang? ”
Zhu Houzhao blinked, he was not a monarch who could be easily fooled, and he would not admit defeat.
As he spoke, his voice suddenly raised, "Since it is difficult to distinguish between buying and selling and embezzlement, how to think about it in the long run?" ”
Li Dongyang said: "I can only check the land deeds of large households, investigate the market price of each transaction, and how to conclude it." ”
"What if there's a problem?"
"Naturally, the government ordered it to be returned."
"Which government? Is it the cabinet or the governor yamen of Shuntian and Baoding? Order to return, how to order, what if not to return? Zhu Houzhao continued to ask, and his tone was very tight.
Fortunately, Li Dongyang is also an old bureaucrat, and he returned: "The official mansion in the world is for one family, that is, the imperial court, Your Majesty." If the order is still not returned, the land will be forcibly requisitioned, and the whole world will not be the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, and no one will dare to disobey His Majesty's holy decree! ”
"Good. Elder Li Ge also thought clearly, since this is the case, I will issue an order to the cabinet and let the cabinet supervise this matter. Don't think about it in the long run, it's all thought through, what is there to think about in the long run? ”
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were stunned for a while, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......
"Elder Li Ge, Elder Xie Ge, do you obey this will?"
What Zhu Houzhao said was to send an order to the cabinet,
So, here's the order.
Li Dongyang actually didn't want to obey the order, but felt that this matter was too difficult, and it was easy to cause confusion if it was not done well.
Join together!
Ride!
The silence of the Qianqing Palace was broken by a rush of running, it was Jin Gui, who trotted with his official robe, and when he arrived in the palace, he knelt down and played loudly, "Your Majesty!" There is civil unrest in Gu'an County, Shuntian Prefecture! There are more than 2,000 anti-people weapons and attacking the county government! This is the recital of Wei Ningbo and Gu'an Zhi County, and it is presented to His Majesty. ”
What?!
Everyone was amazed!
How can there be civil unrest?
Clang!
Zhu Houzhao knocked his fist on the imperial case, "Elder Li Ge, Elder Xie Ge, I will ask you again, do you obey this will or not?!" ”
"Your Majesty, the civil unrest is imminent, and you may be ...... at this time" Li Dongyang panicked a little, but when he looked up, he glanced at the emperor's eyes, and his heart was groaned, and his words stopped abruptly, so he could only kowtow and say: "Old minister, obey the order!" ”
"Bring it to me." Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and glanced at the head of the lord on the side, "British duke." ”
The old man's body trembled, "The old minister is here." ”
"The world knows that the noble house and the Son of Heaven share glory and wealth. In the vulgar parlance, it means that there are blessings and hardships together. At the beginning of the civil unrest, it showed that the people were overwhelmed. Now the common people are about to capsize the boat that I, the boy of the Zhu family, are on. DID YOU KNOW? …… I looked at the slugging, and immediately thought about how to stabilize the ship, what about you, what did you see you thinking? ”
The Emperor's tone was quiet, but it was extremely intimidating.
“…… When you go back, remember to collect your land deeds, what you said is right, it's yours, not mine. ”
The British are horrified, what do you mean that it is yours, not mine. You can talk like this on weekdays, but if you really want to talk about it, in the discourse environment of imperial power, whatever you have and mine is the emperor's. You even have the emperor's life, let alone Tian Qi?!
