Chapter 240: Under Wudang Mountain

When Wang Hongyu saw this situation, he knew that the most fundamental economic problem in the late Ming Dynasty lay in this.

This point is the fundamental internal cause, but it is not the inevitable cause of perdition.

Because if the other two things are handled well, they are far from perishing.

On the basis of land annexation and taxation problems, the lack of industrial and commercial tax revenues and the decrease in the inflow of silver from the Americas led to the lack of another revenue for the imperial court.

In addition, the war was seriously corrupted, and Huang Taiji and Mongolia entered the customs several times to rob, and continued to bleed the finances and national strength.

These two articles forced Chongzhen to raise taxes on peasants in the northwest and the Central Plains.

As long as a little bit is added to the top, the number of middle-level bureaucrats will increase even more.

In the end, it is irretrievable.

In short, these civilian bureaucrats did not have a strong impetus to raise taxes on industry and commerce and on themselves, and the bureaucracy had to dig deep into the peasantry.

The peasants outside Jiangnan, Huguang, and Liangguang were dug deep until they could no longer survive at all.

Died......

Why did the digging peasants dig to this point?

Because of the Manchu bloodletting, because of the Mongol plunder, because the bureaucrats would not collect their own industrial and commercial taxes, because of the natural environment and economic environment, the Ming Dynasty could not recover.

Wang Hongyu must not bully the peasants.

The first is to bully Jiannu, who beats and who will turn it upside down?

Second, it is necessary to bully officials, even Zhang Juzheng, who is a civil official, can use the imperial power to control them, clear the fields, curb mergers, and collect industrial and commercial taxes. He has imperial power, soldiers and horses, and an industrial base, and is more able to manage and educate these officials.

However, most of the officials at this time are scholars, and there will definitely be scholars who will scold them behind their backs in the future.

But because of this, I want to cultivate a group of scholars who support me, and there are also laborers who also study and become officials, and the books they read are not all the same as the books read by officials, and see in whose hands the productivity is?

Third, we must bully foreigners. The war in Europe led to a decrease in the flow of silver into the Ming Dynasty.

Which hindered the flow of silver to the East, and which hindered scientists from coming to China for exchanges? Which future may be better than Huaxia?

I, Wang Hongyu, will fight whichever one!

This is the difference between myself and these officials~

Regarding land, Wang Hongyu wants to do three things well.

First, clear the acres of land.

Tax evasion by landlords and officials? I'm sorry, tax evasion is a felony in the future, and I am from the next generation, and I have to strike hard at these guys who evade the most taxes~

Second, break through the small-scale peasant economy.

The military system of the Tang Dynasty and the military system of the Ming Guard, no matter how some people in later generations stepped on it, they were all excellent policies based on the small peasant economy wherever they were formulated.

But I just can't stick to the effect.

Wang Hongyu will follow the teachings of the librarian and strive to break through the small-scale peasant economy and explore agricultural collectivization and urban industrialization.

Without overtaking in productivity, without leading the world in agricultural and industrial productivity, China will not be able to firmly dominate the world pattern.

Third, the landlords went overseas and started all over again.

The song "Start Again" is catchy, but it does not belong to the workers and peasants, but is the most suitable for the landlords.

Please the big landlords, singing "If the heart is there, the dream is there", go overseas and start over again, and go to a big farm~

These three things start from their own base areas, re-establish them in the places where the land has been changed and returned to the stream, and drive the surrounding areas and places with support to follow up.

Valley City is in the second batch of pilot areas.

"Send a message to Ai Youzhi, I think this place in Gucheng is very good, and it is of great significance to the situation in the southwest and the situation in Liaodong, and then ask him for detailed information about this county."

Zhou Yijie understood: "Yes, ensure that the news is in place, and at the same time do not let outsiders know."

"Okay~ Remember to make it clear, as long as you have intelligence, you don't need his side to make a move."

"Yes!"

After all, Ai Youzhi is also a new official, so it is not appropriate for him to act directly.

I don't have any other shortcomings as a person, just to protect my shortcomings~

Ai Youzhi is her own person, of course, she doesn't let others get into danger.

But once someone dares to bully Ai Youzhi, then don't blame me Wang Hongyu for being ruthless.

That's your style.

Gao Panlong's gang is the same, if you dare to scold my eldest brother, I will let the world spit on him.

After Gu County, you can see the mountains in the distance.

The terrain here is different, and gradually you can see many hills, and the mountains are full of mist like a fairy aura.

According to the guide of the eldest brother's family, this place has gone out of Gucheng County and entered the territory of Junzhou County.

"There are not many people in Junzhou, and it is estimated that it is only half of Gucheng."

The guide briefly introduced that according to his perception, there is a gap between the topography and population of Junzhou County and other counties in Xiangyang Prefecture, which is actually more like the counties of Yunyang Prefecture.

It is a mountainous and hilly area.

Wang Hongyu asked, "Do you have any specialties in Junzhou?"

"I haven't heard of a specialty, but there is the world-famous Wudang Mountain."

"Wudang Mountain...... Is there a Wu-Tang Clan on the mountain? ”

The guide said proudly, "Of course! The incense of the Wudang sect is vigorous, the main hall is prosperous, there are hundreds of cultivators, and there are nearly 1,000 disciples who walk all over the world. ”

Wang Hongyu was quite curious, it turned out that the Wudang faction was so prosperous in the Ming Dynasty: "What is the relationship between the imperial court and Wudang?"

"Hahaha, it's very close, it can be said to be the royal dojo.

In addition to managing the affairs of the faction, there are also town guards and eunuchs to guard and protect incense. The imperial court often sends people to worship, and every new magistrate of Junzhou will go to Wudang's Zixiao Palace and other palaces to worship, and the statue of Zhang Sanfeng on the mountain is the rule of the Yongle Emperor......"

I think of it, the Ming Dynasty was more supportive of Taoism, and Jiajing directly cultivated Taoism and wanted to become immortals.

In addition to Wanli, because Empress Dowager Li believed in Buddhism, and supported the development of Buddhist temples, other places strongly supported Taoism.

Before the words fell, I saw hundreds of people in blue and white Taoist robes in front of me, and from a distance, there were more than 100 Wudang Taoist priests lined up in a sacrificial formation, and they were doing things in the square below the hillside.

A middle-aged Taoist priest came over to greet him: "May I ask if it is General Wang Hongyu?" ”

After getting Wang Hongyu's affirmation, the middle-aged Taoist priest said: "The head of the Qing Dynasty specially invited the officials of Junzhu County to do a three-day water and land dojo at the intersection of the road, and to guide Zhou Shen to return to his hometown, and the Dharma will be over in two hours."

All those involved in the ritual were not allowed to leave the sacrificial position halfway, and Xiaodao had been waiting for the general for two days, so the general was asked to rest at the reception station for a while. ”

Wang Hongyu said: "It's okay, we just want to overlook the scenery around Wudang Mountain. ”

So under the leadership of Zhou Yijie, he went to the foot of Wudang Mountain and looked into the distance.

Wudang Mountain is very large, there are winding mountain roads built everywhere for pilgrims who visit the mountains to ask questions, there are streams flowing beside the road, and the hillsides are full of flowers, as if returning to spring.

Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple": "The fragrance of April in the world is exhausted, and the peach blossoms of the mountain temple are in full bloom. There is nowhere to find the spring of long-hate, and I don't know how to turn into this. ”

It's the height of summer, but Wudang Mountain is as cool as spring.

The mountain stream and waterfall are hanging high, cool and cool, come to Wudang Mountain in midsummer, the dry heat disappears suddenly, it is extremely cool, it can really be said that "stepping into the Wudang scenery is far away, and the hot summer in June becomes autumn" of the "cool world".

The ancient buildings on the mountain are large in scale and majestic. The formation of "five miles, one nunnery, ten miles of palace, Dan wall green tile Wanglong. The tower reflects the gold and silver gas, and Lin Xiu returns to the architectural wonders of the mirror to achieve the artistic conception of "Xianshan Qiongge".
