Chapter 139: How can the dynasty be powerless!

"You can't say that."

"Although the new policy has increased the burden on the people, because the wealthy families do not dare to increase the rent too much, they really force their tenants to become homeless, and they have no harvest, so they only add a little."

"In short, in fact, it is to jointly bear the tax demanded by the imperial court and the additional field tax."

"And because most of the tenants are clansmen and villagers, just like me, in order to take care of the friendship of the villagers, the rich have to bear more, so the loss of the tenants is not large, and because the new policy makes the officials clear, the officials dare not be too exploitative, so the people dare to engage in more side jobs."

"If you open a small workshop like the contemptible people, or go to the town to work, the harvest will be higher than before!"

"It's just that I'm more tired than in previous years, and I can't even be idle in farming."

Liu Quxian retorted at this time.

"That's right."

"I was originally from a military household in Jizhou, and now I still have relatives in the Jizhou area, and they had a hard time in previous years."

"I answer, the barbarians, these people enter the customs from time to time and plunder a few times, don't talk about life, I don't know when my life will be saved."

"Now that the new policy is implemented, the imperial court is rich, the military salary is sufficient, the pension is high, the border army dares to die and dare to take revenge, the Tartars do not dare to go south, and everyone has a much better life."

"Although life is still tight, at least you don't have to be afraid, and you can still increase your money for the New Year by building side walls for the imperial court, building a city or something."

"Those who have a family can still go to the west exit and go to Datong to do business, and they can get rich."

Chen Yizheng, who was guarding them, couldn't help but say at this time.

At this time, Zhai Rujing put down the script, and then came over and gave Chen Yizheng a kick: "Have you forgotten the rules?" Later, I will go down and get my own thirty family laws! ”

Chen Yizheng had to shut up, and then said yes.

"It seems that Zhang Jiangling's new policy really can't be said to be a bad government, it's nothing more than that the people in the south are harder, but it has also increased their income, while the military and civilians in the north have no worries about their lives because of the country's strength, and they can live with peace of mind."

Tan Yangzi said at this time.

"Tan Yangzi is right!"

Wang Changgeng echoed at this time.

Tan Yangzi couldn't help but look back and smile.

At this time, Jiao Hong sneered: "Tenant farmers and small people can continue to increase their income in a more difficult way, but what about the big gentry, can they lose their profits in vain because of the new deal?" ”

"Can't the big gentry also work harder?"

"Do you have to be just a rat that feeds on the people's fat and national money?"

Li Zhen asked rhetorically at this time.

"That's right, can't the big gentry work harder?"

Liu Quxian followed and asked.

"Li Zhuowu!"

Jiao Hong's face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help shouting, but then he didn't know how to refute, so he had to look at He Xinyin and ask He Xinyin for help:

"Mr. Fushan, didn't you say that the scholars are above the merchants, and the merchants are above the peasants?"

"Do you also think that the gentry should also suffer more for the court, and should not be treated favorably by the court? And it violates the ancestral system of Taizu Zeng Dingguo Dynasty Monks? ”

He Xinyin thought for a while and said, "My Taoism has a problem again!" ”

Then, He Xinyin continued: "I just found out that the reason why the new policy has not become a bad government now, and has made the world more prosperous, is because he not only takes advantage of the common people but also the gentry, and if it only takes advantage of the common people, it will become a bad government, so it can be seen that if Jiangling governs according to my Taoism, I am afraid that the people have changed everywhere now." ”

He Xinyin said and spun the yarn seriously: "This edict is really right!" ”

……

"Since He Xinyin's Taoism has gone wrong again, let them continue to stay in the Imperial Prison!"

"However, those who should prepare for the imperial examination should also give them time to prepare for the imperial examination."

"In addition, for those who were deceived by He Xin who were not a great Confucian celebrity, they can be released first, so as not to worry their families."

"But we can arrange more students or ordinary officers like Liu Quxian to contact them, for example, we can send those children of the poor family who have committed misdemeanors and border army Wuben to accept prison sentences with them, so that they can know more about what the world outside Shilin is like, so as not to become a gateway to private opinions."

"For the great Confucian celebrities, they are also allowed to write letters to their families to report their safety, and ask them to explain to their relatives and friends that the imperial court only sentenced them to prison, and there was no torture, let alone worry about their lives, and they will be released regularly according to their performance."

Zhu Yijun continued to instruct Zhang Whale after learning about He Xinyin's situation in the edict prison.

Zhang Whale said yes.

As a result, Liu Quxian and Wang Changgeng, the two people who were brought in by He Xinyin, were released from the edict prison not long after.

And Wang Xijue and others, the officials and gentry who were very anxious because of the arrest of these great Confucian celebrities, were also relieved after receiving the letter from the edict and prison, and did not make any more trouble, begging the officials of the court and the central government to ask the court for leniency and release.

As for the Confucian celebrities who were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, they still continued to study while spinning and weaving cloth and even planting vegetables and cultivating land.

After arranging the divers of various new trends of thought in the Ming ideological circles internally, Zhu Yijun only paid attention to foreign wars.

Although Zhang Juzheng has confessed to him, the emperor, that he wants to continue to reform the system for him, and a civil official like Shen Shixing also has the attitude that even if Zhang Juzheng refuses, he is willing to drive for His Majesty.

However, because the Ming and Qing dynasties have entered the final stage of the current Ming and Qing dynasties, they have not yet been completely completed, so the entire bureaucracy does not have the energy to continue the new restructuring.

After all, land measurement is really not an easy task, and there are many officials who need to be used.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also focused on matters of concern to foreign wars in addition to completing the corresponding ceremony.

After all, fighting a foreign war well is a long time for his imperial prestige.

Because the thinking of ordinary sergeants is very simple, it is enough money from the emperor, and it also allows them to keep winning battles and making military merits, and then they are promoted to knighthood, they feel that this emperor is worthy of allegiance.

It's just that Zhu Yijun got a report from Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, that North Korea refused to garrison the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the DPRK said that now the emperor is full of martial virtues and spread far beyond the four seas, and the Japanese slaves have been afraid of the might of China, and even the DPRK, which is a vassal of the DPRK, does not dare to commit it again, so he thinks that the garrison is not beneficial except for disturbing the people and damaging His Majesty's virtue of caring for the people of the vassal, and he rejected my request for a garrison."

For this reason, Zhu Yijun specially summoned the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, the privy envoy Fang Fengshi, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Pan Sheng to sit in front of the palace to discuss the matter, and Pan Sheng got up at this time and reported to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but throw Zhang Song on the case: "Even the feudal states dare to refuse me!" Could it be that in the years since I ascended the throne, at the request of my husband, I spent so much national money to let Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang train their troops to strengthen the border, but it was in vain? ”

"How can the dynasty be powerless?!"

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng, Fang Fengshi, and Pan Sheng all stood up and stood solemnly.

Zhu Yijun said at this time: "In this case, it is better to let Li Chengliang gather troops to cross the river, and let the Ministry of Rites send officials to go together to ask the Li family for me, and ask whether the Li family really dares to resist the decree, or is it a traitor in his country!" ”

"And let him Li Chengliang tell the Li clan when he Li beheaded the traitor, and made amends to me with the wealth of the empty treasury, and appeased my anger, when to report to me that the army of guilt was withdrawn to Liaodong!"

After Zhu Yijun said, he looked at Zhang Juzheng and the others: "What do you think?" ”
