"There is only one voice in the court that can be understood, and it is deliberately done by Mr. to implement the new policy."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

He knew that now was not the time for him, the emperor, to engage in checks and balances, and he couldn't learn from Song Renzong, because Fan Zhongyan was impeached for engaging in friends and cracking down on dissidents, so he stopped reforming, and then the Qingli reform only lasted for a year, not to mention, and because of this, there was a Qingli coin.

What's more, Zhang Juzheng also taught him that the emperor would only engage in simple checks and balances or fall behind.

Holding a knife in your hand is the last word.

It is necessary to be able to make tall buildings rise and fall at the same time.

After Zhu Yijun said, he said: "It's just that there is only one voice among the people, so it's not normal." ”

"If there is only one voice in the court that Mr. makes some people dare not speak, then what about the people, who is making some people dare not speak?"

Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale said: "The emperor is Shengming, and he is naturally a wealthy man. ”

"Xiaomin, don't say that most people are illiterate and don't know about the affairs of the court, even if they are literate, they don't dare to speak because they depend on powerful families for their survival."

"Because the current Ming government-run social studies are in ruins, the children of ordinary people have to study in the family of the big clan even if they study, so unless they have a subject name, they have to be temporarily controlled by it."

"What's more, the survival of small people also depends on the big clan to survive, such as relying on the big clan relief and even grain loans in famine years, if they encounter bandits, they also have to be protected by the big clan, and even when they encounter cool officials and corrupt officials, they also have to rely on the big clan to preside over morality."

After Zhang Jing said, Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "You're right. At the root, the court still has no money, and many things that the court and government have done have been transferred. ”

"Just like this part of education, social science also exists in name only like the Wei system, everything is because the court has no money, and a lot of responsibilities that should not be transferred to the gentry are transferred, people will not work for the court in vain, people maintain stability for the court, and they also kidnap the court in their own cars."

Zhu Yijun said and asked Zhang Whale again: "As for Mr. to suppress the discussion of the students, Mr. must have discussed it with the ministers and ministers first, and there must have been many Beijing officials who know about it, and there are several voices in the court." ”

"Back to the emperor, there are two voices, in addition to many who do not approve of suppressing the discussion of politics by students, thinking that it is blocking the way of speech, and Mr. Yuanfu Zhang is authoritarian, there are also those who are in favor."

Zhang Whale replied.

Zhu Yijun smiled after hearing this: "Really? ”

Then, Zhu Yijun turned around and asked Zhang Whale: "Who is in favor?" ”

"Zhang Dazai, the secretary of the ministry, Tan Benbing, the secretary of the military department, and the king of the imperial history of the city patrol......"

Zhang Jing listed the names of several Jingguan.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked, "What kind of family background do they have?" How many fields are there? ”

Zhang Whale was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to ask his family background directly, fortunately, he was the governor of Dongchang, and one of his responsibilities was to inquire about the emperor's bag, so he replied: "Zhang Dazai's ancestor started with a loom and began to study, and now his family still relies on running a weaving mill and has not accumulated acres of land; Tan Benbing's family is poor, because he is a young man and a nobleman, and his family's acres are only 800; Wang Yushi's family was also poor, his father died early, and he had three brothers, all of whom relied on his mother to weave cloth for support and for him to study......"

Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing this: "Sure enough, there is a reason." It is very important for people from the common people to be able to join the court more because of their education, so that at least the first or second generation will not forget to work for the small people and sit on the side of the wealthy people who have a wide range of fertile land. ”

"Although the financial resources of the imperial court are limited now, and it is not yet possible to comprehensively revitalize social studies, but on the pretext that my Huangzhuang can promote education, we will set up an academy in Huangzhuang, and select the children of ordinary people from good families and ordinary flag schools such as Jinyiwei and border officers and soldiers to study in Huangzhuang, and it will be called Xingming Academy, so as to rejuvenate the Huangming Society and the common people, and the money and food needed will come from the internal funds obtained from my Huangzhuang!"

"Anyway, my imperial village occupies a lot of acres, if it is insufficient in the future, when these academy children grow up, let them support the academy for me, and I can let them run the imperial store and even go to the sea to trade in the name of the royal family."

"That's it."

Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Whale: "Leave this matter to Zhang Cheng and let him do it!" The head of the academy asked Xu Wei to come and gave him a decree to come to Beijing as the official position of Hanlin Zhao, anyway, his students had all arrived in Beijing, and he still stayed in Liaodong to do anything. ”

Zhang Whale said yes.

Zhu Yijun spent his own money to train some orphans of the dead and civilians, and he began to cultivate his own team.

But this is not a conspicuous and immediate event for the whole world.

At present, what is really still not widely concerned by the world is the matter of clearing the acres of land and further opening up the sea.

Although the Qingzhang Tianmu was a new policy that many bureaucrats in the world took the initiative to put forward and were willing to implement on the basis of the law and the fact that the imperial court was not allowed to solve the deficit and made up for the deficit.

However, with the implementation of the Qing Zhangtian acres, many gentry and wealthy people were still dissatisfied, and the powerful such as the relatives of the clans and nobles of the two capitals also began to be dissatisfied.

In addition, it is a matter of further opening up the sea.

Many gentry and wealthy people also created a campaign among the people in an attempt to prevent the realization of this idea of the imperial court.

Although the imperial court has not yet officially issued an edict to further open the sea, it is only the Ministry of Industry that has written such a question, and the cabinet has asked the Ministry of Industry to choose where to open the sea.

But Rao is so, and it has caused a lot of opposition among the people.

Zhang Juzheng took the method of prohibiting the gentry and the students from discussing politics, and directly dismissed the opponents of the bureaucracy, which seemed to be intended to test the bottom line of the bureaucrats and gentry in the world, and did not rush to issue an edict to officially open the sea, but only took this opportunity to prevent the gentry and the students from discussing politics.

Zhu Yijun wanted to see what Zhang Juzheng planned to do, and by the way, he was also secretly accumulating his own power, such as strengthening Jingwei martial arts and arranging for his domestic slave, Zhang Whale, to set up a social school in Huangzhuang, the emperor's direct territory, while also continuing to observe the changes in the Ming Dynasty because of Zhang Juzheng's reform.

So, Zhu Yijun also asked Zhang Jing again: "I remember that your Dongchang sent an edict to investigate the situation of slave storage in Nanzhi, saying that after the first emperor approved the opening of the sea, more and more large households began to turn slave storage business into a hired business, what is the situation now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Suzhou and Hangzhou heard that the imperial court was going to further open the sea, and more bold businessmen began to turn slaves and maids into hired laborers on a large scale. It's just that because the opposition to the opening of the sea is very loud among the people, many large households are still keeping slaves, and they dare not directly turn slaves and maids into hired laborers. ”

"But if there are more and more employees, at least the imperial court will not only increase its income a lot in terms of land endowment, but also in terms of service money."

Zhang Whale replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this.

He can understand that ordinary businessmen and ordinary people are afraid that the new policy will not go long, so they dare not thoroughly carry out employment management and survive as hired labor.

But Zhu Yijun hopes that these more advanced production models that are beginning to emerge will continue to exist and gradually burn the prairie instead of being stifled and hindered.

Now, whether it can be promoted depends on whether it can really be further opened up in the future.

"We will definitely be able to further open up the sea, so that the people of the world can rest easy."

Zhu Yijun slandered a sentence, and then instructed Zhang Whale: "Sir's ban on the gentry and members to discuss politics is red!" If you want to discuss politics, you can only discuss it as a civilian! ”

……

In a short time, the decree prohibiting the gentry from discussing politics was handed down to the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wan Shihe didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to not let the gentry and members discuss politics Although many ministers disagreed, he was still criticized, which made him have to take the holy decree to the cabinet, and after seeing Zhang Juzheng, he asked: "Yuanfu, do you really want to go your own way and block the way of speech?" ”

Zhang Juzheng asked: "Words and roads have their own advice, how can you block it?" ”

"If you don't let the gentry speak, isn't it obstructing the way of speech?"

Wan Shihe asked.

Zhang Juzheng said: "It's not that the servants don't let them speak, but they don't let them be supported by the imperial court on the one hand, and they are in opposition to the imperial court, and they are noisy and interfere with the ruling of the imperial court, which is not in line with the virtue of loyalty and filial piety." ”

"They can speak if they want, and they can speak when they become commoners."

"The people are important, the monarch is light, and the society is secondary, and only the words of the common people can be regarded as the things that the monarch should pay attention to."

"What's more, most of the gentry were more powerful than the common people, and if there were more officials and lords, wouldn't they be able to suppress the words of the real common people? How can this make His Majesty listen to it at the same time! ”

After hearing this, Wan Shihe had no choice but to say: "Even so, it seems that I have to wait to be deposed as a commoner." ”

As he spoke, Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Siwei: "Elder Zhang Ge, you have had a private chat with the contemptible people, and said that you also have objections to the prohibition of the gentry from discussing politics, why don't you resign together and wait to be removed as a commoner?" ”

Zhang Siwei was stunned for a moment, so he had to sneer and said: "Although the servant has objections, but now after listening to what Uncle said, he understands that the gentry should educate the people for the court, how can they go against the court, this is really inappropriate!" When forbidden! ”
