After seizing Mengyin and Yishui, the pattern was completely opened.

In the past, relying on the old farmers in the village, relying on the villagers, and a few literate people, they could manage the same. But now, it is necessary to have a strong system of officials who are responsible for carrying out government affairs, preaching strategies, and winning the support of the people.

Internal affairs and military affairs should not be neglected, and even internal affairs should be more important than military affairs.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yiyuan is eager to take over the Shanzuo Taisha and carry out transformation.

It's just that there are a few members of the original Shanzuo Taisha who can't stand it.

One of them was named Tian Wen, he stood up, "Zhu Yanshi, for the government to govern the people, of course, just let literati enter the army, but also preach military law, it is really incomprehensible, this is the duty of a general, is it to use literati to lead the army?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head and said: "No, in my place, the official is not to govern the people, but to do things for the people, and do things that the people can't accomplish." ”

Tian Wen was shocked, "This, this is difficult to understand." ”

Zhu Yiyuan didn't speak, but Zhang Lin said: "We have summed up experience in Zichuan, Laiwu and other places. As long as the people are allowed to do the general division of land and other affairs, they can make a big difference. What officials need is oversight, just confirmation. As the saying goes, you have to believe in the people, and that's the truth. ”

Tian Wen doesn't believe it at all, why do you believe the people?

The common people are either confused and don't understand anything, or they are cunning and difficult to control, and they are simply nonsense.

It was Gu Yanwu, who suddenly said: "I don't know how to divide the land in Laiwu and other places, but there are detailed regulations?" ”

Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he handed a booklet to Gu Yanwu.

Gu Yanwu hurriedly unfolded, and Ye Tingxiu also came over.

They looked through it carefully, and soon showed a look of surprise.

"This trick allows the old farmers to divide, match the fat and thin of the fields, and select the fields by lot, which is indeed impeccable." Ye Tingxiu was surprised.

Gu Yanwu frowned, looked at it for a long time, and said: "Limiting each household to twenty acres of land seems to have the intention of dismantling the giant room, which is also a wonderful method." ”

Ye Tingxiu said again: "Why do I look a little familiar, it seems that someone has done it?" ”

Gu Yanwu laughed and said: "Isn't this exactly the strategy of Hai Gangfeng when he was the governor of Yingtian, he attacked the giant room, rectified the fields, and made Xu Ge run away from home." ”

Ye Tingxiu suddenly realized, and then sighed again, "Haigang Peak is really my Great Ming Divine Sword, it's a pity that Taishi Zhang can't use this person!" ”

Between the two of them, a crucial issue was revealed, the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty, there were many huge rooms, and the people were not able to make a living, and it was not a day or two.

From Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, to Wanli, people continue to stand up and admonish reform.

I saw a lot of problems, and there were also-for-tat measures, such as Hai Rui did a lot in Nanzhili, and even Xu Jie was unlucky, but it was a pity that he was disgraced and dismissed after he did it not long ago.

Zhang Juzheng's whip method can be called the last self-salvation of the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that it is also a dead person.

A morally perfect Hai Rui, a powerful Zhang regent.

The two of them wanted to move acres of land, but in the end they all failed.

If you can't change it, you can't change it.

The huge gentry group can watch the Ming Dynasty fall, but they are unwilling to give up the interests in their hands.

"Zhu Yanshi, dare to ask for advice, how can these strategies of yours be implemented, and what if someone obstructs them?" Gu Yanwu asked in a deep voice.

"Kill!"

Zhu Yiyuan's answer was so crisp that Gu Yanwu didn't react and killed him directly?

Zhu Yiyuan said calmly: "We are representing the villagers and the people, and we must rely on the strength of the people to expel Hulu. Naturally, we have to respond to the demands of the people. Those gentry and big families can take the initiative to cooperate best, and if they can't take the initiative to cooperate, our officials must let them cooperate. As for those who dare to oppose sabotage, so that they gather the countryside to resist bravely, then the only way to do this is to mobilize our soldiers and horses and completely eradicate them, without mercy. ”

Gu Yanwu couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously looked at Ye Tingxiu, who was also surprised.

In fact, this matter is not complicated, the reason why Zhang Juzheng's reform will fail is that it can only be said that no matter how great the power of the first assistant is, he cannot be like the founding son of heaven, holding high the butcher's knife and physically removing all obstacles.

Moreover, Zhang Juzheng still relied on the iron triangle formed by Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao to temporarily obtain the authority of the little emperor before he could implement reforms.

When he died, the little emperor was older, the suppressed ministers jumped out, and the reform came to an abrupt end, which is not unusual.

This is why at the beginning of the country, you can succeed in whatever you want to do, and once you reach the middle and late stages, you will be constrained in every way what you want to do.

It's not that the descendants are inferior to the predecessors, but that the two are not the same problem.

Gu Yanwu had read so many books and thought so much, could he not understand the truth?

At this time, Zhu Yiyuan moved the field and acres, that is, he had the ambition to reopen the world.

If you continue to hold on to the remnants, you can only wait for the Qing court to be wiped out one by one, and there is absolutely no second possibility.

Gu Yanwu thought about it again and again, and said: "Zhu Yanshi, it is convenient to kill him. But if there is no restraint and wanton killing, it is not a good strategy, is there anything you can do? ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Yiyuan pressed his hand on the big edict, "This is the painstaking effort of Emperor Taizu, you can refer to his old man's method." It's just that some methods are too cruel, such as embezzling sixty taels, you have to peel the skin and last the grass, and you can behead it instead. Also, it is not good to plant tens of thousands at every turn, just kill the first evil, and the rest can be used as hard labor. ”

Zhu Yiyuan only said that it was changed to beheading, but did not say the amount of adjustment.

Sixty taels will still be beheaded.

There is no way, in the early stage of entrepreneurship, the law must be strict and everyone must be restrained.

Otherwise, from now on, if you wantonly embezzle and enrich your own pockets, how can you overthrow the Qing court and restore the mountains and rivers!

Gu Yanwu figured out Zhu Yiyuan's plan, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "I have no doubts, I just ask Zhu Yishi to reward him with a position so that he can serve in the next place." ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "With the full support of Mr. Ning Ren, naturally great events can be expected...... It's just that I can't just give the position, and I have to ask Mr. Higashiyama to arrange exams and admit officials. ”

This matter has been talked about for a long time, and Zhao Shizhe is almost ready, so he happily said: "You can start now." ”

Zhu Yiyuan immediately agreed, and the enemy was not too particular at present.

Asking questions on the spot, answering questions on the spot, marking papers on the spot, passing the exam, and immediately awarding the position, all of which are one-stop.

Of course, don't think about cheating, because there are soldiers and civilians around, and the big guys are watching.

In plain sight, everything is on the table.

That's the good thing about starting from scratch, it looks shabby, even a bit like a playhouse, but sorry, it works.

It's just that some people don't want to participate in this exam.

The four members of the Shanzuo Shrine led by Tian Wen stood up and asked Zhao Shizhe for their resignation.

"Zhu Yanshi, you see?"

"Let them go!" Zhu Yiyuan said coldly: "The big waves are sweeping the sand, and those who can persist are a few people." It's just that after you go back, it's best not to be a lackey for the Qing court, if you do, wait until the day you settle the account, don't complain even your relatives, this is a natural end! ”

Tian Wen's face was slightly pale, but she could only give it up, "Remember." ”

Removed these members of the Shanzuo Shrine, Wang Yu in the crowd suddenly brightened up, they were punished by Zhu Yiyuan with hard labor, and there were still two months to go.

"Zhu Yanshi, we want to take the exam, okay?"

Zhu Yiyuan groaned slightly, and then said: "Although I punished you with hard labor, I did not say that you were deprived of your examination qualifications...... In this case, you can take the exam, but you are not exempt from hard labor. ”

Wang Yu happily agreed, and looked at a few people beside him, "Don't be stunned, hurry up!" This is our first time examining the selection of officials, you know what it means, right? ”
