The annexation of land is not only for the gentry, but also in the locality, especially in places where clans are concentrated, the phenomenon of clan annexation of land is often more serious.

Because the clan was often legally privileged, according to the past practice, unless there was a rebellion, it would not be executed.

Therefore, the clans are often more and more unscrupulous because of this, and many clans in history have even directly bullied the market, and even set up private checkpoints to collect taxes.

In short, in the Ming Dynasty, whoever the emperor connives, who will become a more rampant group of forces.

Zhu Yijun had no intention of conniving at the clan.

Even, Zhu Yijun had long thought about rectifying the clan system.

It's not just about cracking down on the behavior of the clan to amass wealth and bend the law.

More importantly, to give the clans a new way out, they can't just be raised like pigs, and they can only make a fortune by bullying the people and looting the people's wealth, but they can't do other things and make money through other ways.

But now, most of the interests of foreign trade are controlled by the powerful right; The imperial court can only raise troops and generals by increasing the internal interests of the people for the national treasury, and then it can have the strength to distribute external interests in the future, so that the clans and vassals can benefit from the distribution of external interests.

Therefore, if the clansmen obstruct the implementation of the new policy of Qingzhang Tianmu and refuse to let some of the internal benefits of the people to the imperial court, then Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, will still not be polite.

"Owl?"

Zhu Tingfu looked at the holy decree above his head with a shocked face, muttered it, and then denied it: "Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! How can there be a reason to kill the clan?! This is definitely his Zhang Juzheng's edict! ”

Ru Zongshun just kept a calm face, and then ordered: "Punish Zhu Tingfu immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

A sergeant held Zhu Tingfu.

And Zhu Tingfu struggled and shouted, "I want to see Your Majesty!" I want to see Your Majesty! ”

Swish!

With a knife falling.

Suddenly, Zhu Tingfu's head rolled down in front of the other sect disciples in blood.

At this point, Zhu Tingfu was beheaded.

At the same time, Zhu Junchun was also shackled, locked in a prison car, and escorted to Fengyang.

The children of the Datong clan were all shocked by this.

They didn't expect that the imperial court would take a real step and directly execute the children of the clan who killed the officials and errands.

However, because of this, none of the children of the clan in the next Datong area dared to resist the new policy, and honestly cooperated with the Qingzhang Tianmu affair of the imperial court.

And as the news of Zhu Tingfu's beheading spread to other parts of the country, the children of the clans in other places were also greatly shocked, and they all had to stop fighting, not daring to obstruct the Qingzhang Tianmu affair in the slightest.

The vassal kings did not rebel because of Zhu Yijun's expectations, perhaps for the vassal kings, it is not worth rebelling for a clear field.

After all, Qingzhang acres of land is not ruthless, but just let them spit out the extra land, not force them to pay grain and pay taxes.

In fact, it is the same for the gentlemen and gentlemen, they can still tolerate the acres of Qingzhang and the open sea, as long as the imperial court does not crack down on smuggling and does not cancel their preferential exemptions.

After all, the latter is the root of their control over most of the world's goods.

First of all, the forcibly occupied fields have to be spit out, and secondly, the newly added acres of land outside the preferential exemption have to pay full taxes, and can no longer be passed on to the ordinary people.

It's just that the failure of the last Fuque incident made them realize that the empress dowager of the two palaces could not stop Zhang Juzheng's will to implement reforms, so they all had to endure it for the time being.

"Since the opinions of officials in the north and south are not in agreement, the whole country should not be ordered to implement the whip law first, and all localities should be ordered to make their own decisions according to the actual local conditions, and if it is convenient for the people to pay the silver, they will pay the silver, and if it is convenient to pay the grain, they will pay the grain."

When Qingzhang Tianmu was implemented throughout the country, Zhang Juzheng, based on the experience of promoting a whip method in the south, suddenly asked Zhu Yijun to implement a whip law throughout the country when he was Qingzhang Tianmu in the whole country.

But one whipping law was criticized by many officials of northern origin.

Many people in the north believe that a whip law is not conducive to the north, where commercial activities are underdeveloped and the output per mu is small, and that blindly converting tax grain into silver will help the people in the south to pay taxes and grain with the silver earned from sideline business, but it will increase the exploitation of the peasants in the north and will make the people in the north have to increase the burden of exchanging grain into silver.

Zhu Yijun therefore did not allow Zhang Juzheng to mention it.

"Your Majesty, a whip is passed throughout the country, which is conducive to the total collection of taxes and grains, and the errand can also be assigned according to the Ding, and the silver is levied according to the Ding and the silver is levied according to the mu, and the government pays the silver to hire the laborers, and the large households can be exempted from the fee, and the fee for seeing the chief can be eliminated, and the tricky requests can be avoided, etc.;"

"The rich get a boost, but the poor don't get a boost."

"And there are regulations for silver, and the register is also easy to check and check."

"And if this law is not implemented throughout the country, there will be no such convenience."

"Although the north is short of silver, the north has always had light taxes, and a whip will not make it difficult for the people to bear it."

Zhang Juzheng fought the basis of reason.

Zhu Yijun asked rhetorically: "Sir, do you really think that the price of silver will be the rule?" Will it rise when paying taxes and fall when taxes are not paid? ”

Zhang Juzheng did not answer.

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "The north is bitter cold, and the output is small, and the tax is not as rich as the south, so that a large number of rich families migrate to the south; If it is only for the convenience of the government to relieve grain and the wealthy gentry, and increase the burden on the northern people, I am afraid that the barrenness in the north will become more serious in the future! ”

"It is a trend in the future to convert physical goods into cashier and other currencies, but Mr. is in charge!"

Zhu Yijun suddenly said this to Zhang Juzheng at this time, and said: "But if the whole country wants to convert the cash in kind, that is, to carry out a whip method, how can you wait until there are also silver coins in the north in the future!" ”

"And this silver coin cannot simply be equated with silver taels, at least its price must be controlled by the imperial court, so as to prevent Haoyou from manipulating its price and taking the opportunity to exploit the people."

"Therefore, before the silver coin is really the state is decided, the local government must allow the people to continue to pay taxes in kind, and strictly order that all mortgages must not be forced to collect it in silver!"

"Silver?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't expect that Emperor Zhu Yijun was not only thinking about collecting taxes in kind for silver, but about controlling silver coins, and didn't want big households to have the opportunity to exploit the people by manipulating the price of silver.

Zhang Juzheng had nothing to say, so he could only say yes, and did not insist on implementing a whip, accepted the emperor's request, and only let the local government act according to the actual situation of each autonomous government.

Zhu Yijun said: "At present, what the imperial court needs to establish as soon as possible is a silver coin that can be used throughout the country, and this silver coin is best based on silver, after all, copper is insufficient, and paper money is abused excessively, and it is difficult to make the people trust in a short period of time; Therefore, Mr. needs to put more effort into this, to gather a group of fine craftsmen, to see if he can smelt silver coins that are not easy to be imitated and are mixed with a certain amount of other substances. ”

"Obey the order!"
