The Forbidden City, dressed in white clouds, had just been awakened by the first warm sun in the morning, and the ruling ministers wearing red pythons and crowns entered the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace one after another.

In the warm pavilion, the tea stove is boiling, as if someone inside is tirelessly talking about something.

And beside the gilded withered dragon furnace not far from the tea stove, Zhu Yijun didn't say a word, just sat behind the royal eucalyptus, still watching Ye Xianggao's recital.

Zhu Yijun knows that Rao is in the future generations, and people will try to use various ways to advertise themselves as more advanced people, not to mention that this is an era when there is a clan in the township and a monarch father in the dynasty.

Therefore, there can be no problem with the humility of Ye Xianggao's reaction.

Zhu Yijun can't deny that he is not important.

Although he was able to accept that there was no need for such a clear difference between the dignity and inferiority of the laborers, he knew that it would be difficult for the people of this era to accept the same treatment of the people at once.

"It snowed a lot last night."

As soon as Zhu Yijun put Ye Xianggao's recital on the eucalyptus, he saw that Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers had come in, so he said.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes!"

"The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, the world is governed, and even the heavens are much more cooperative, and he is not stingy at all when it should snow."

After Shen Shi returned, he replied with a smile.

Zhu Yijun also smiled slightly after hearing this.

The climate in the early days of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, except for a major drought in the area of Beijing in the fifteenth year of Wanli, is generally normal, so the harvest scene is common, and the price of grain is still in a low period.

But after thirty or forty years, the climate of Daming will become more and more strange year by year.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not have enough time to make Daming transform easily.

If we really delay the reform until then, we will only shed more blood.

Zhu Yijun's ruling ministers naturally don't know that the sky will get colder and drier, and there will be more and more things, and now they are enjoying the current peaceful and prosperous times more peacefully than Zhu Yijun.

Therefore, after Shen Shixing said this, the other ministers were also in high spirits and agreed with their chins.

Today, Zhu Yijun summoned these ministers to see him for two things.

One is that Ye Xiangshang asked for a new gift and paid attention to respect and humility.

One is the impeachment of Fengyang Governor Lu Kun by Cao Yipeng, the impeachment of Fujian Governor Jin Xuezeng by Zhou Bangjie and the impeachment of Shen Li, who was transferred from Hanlin to Yingtian as Governor of Yingtian, to do business in the name of the government and compete with the people for profit.

Zhu Yijun first let these ruling ministers see Ye Xianggao's recital.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think of Ye Zhuangyuan's advice?"

Zhu Yijun said with a displeased face after these ministers saw it.

"Ridiculous!"

Hai Rui said a sentence at this time, and then asked rhetorically: "Is it for Goulier to study?" ”

Then, Hai Rui, the representative of science, got up and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty, there has always been a distinction between righteousness and benefit, although people have five Lun, but reading is to become a gentleman of knowledge, to be a gentleman to be a gentleman, to be a gentleman to be able to abstain from profit, how can you start reading as satisfying your own selfish desires and prospering for your family, and think that you should be a master when you read, and you should be a glorious lintel, and the respect and humility in the humility are not so exquisite!" Such utilitarian, not a gentleman's way of reading! ”

"But Dasi Nong still admits that people have dignity and humility."

Pan Cheng got up at this time and refuted Hai Rui, and then said to Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this omission is quite to the point, and now that the court is discussing the new ceremony, it should think about whether it is appropriate to regard the scholar as the head of the four people, and whether there should be respect and inferiority among the compatriots;"

"And in the humble opinion of the ministers, there should still be, a people's wisdom has not yet opened, and it still needs to be guided by scholars! In addition, the imperial court should respect the rule of culture, and indeed give preferential treatment to scholars first, so as to set an example, otherwise the people of the world may not know what the benefits of reading are! ”

But at this time, it is indeed not as good as at the beginning of the country, and there are as many scholars as carp crossing the river, so there is a government of officials and gentry who pay grain as an errand and errand. In order to prevent some scholars who only want to be rich and prosperous to betray the country, we can't abolish the new policy that has been implemented with great difficulty, right? ”

"It's easy to scrap this policy, but it's even harder to rebuild!"

Hai Rui got up and said.

Shen Shixing laughed at this time: "Nature can't be abolished, Xie Li Yin and Yang, not just caring about selfish desires and even ignoring justice, so that the gentlemen in the world will also be uneasy." ”

After Shen Shixing replied with such a sentence, Hai Rui and other ministers bowed their heads.

"If there is a big increase in silver today, at least there is no shortage of silver in the homes of the powerful and gentry, so even if it is an errand boy, it is just a matter of paying more silver, not counting the matter of forcing them to perform forced labor, and the situation of dignity and inferiority disorder is not so serious."

"Even if you want to be exempted from military service in the future, it can only be when the country becomes richer and reduce the Ding silver of everyone in the world."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

Shen Shixing arched his hand and said, "What Your Majesty said is true." But if you want to make peace between the upper and lower levels, you should indeed ease the relationship between the court and Shilin! ”

"Since the implementation of the new policy, in order to set things right, the prestige of Shilin has been too heavy and the favor is not enough, which will inevitably lead to the suspicion of being too righteous, which will increase the resentment of the scholars, so that there will be a large number of cases of treason and treason among the scholars."

"Nowadays, to implement new national policies, such as relocating people, such as transporting grain and building roads, they also need to assist the government in the people, not to mention that the court officials are also selected from among them, and even disaster relief and theft also need their cooperation, and they need to supervise corrupt officials."

"In addition, many major events in the future also need their cooperation, and they need to organize villagers in the name of the clan or encourage villagers to go out to work or settle down."

After Shen Shixing spoke, he hung his head and waited for Zhu Yijun's judgment.

Zhu Yijun said: "I know that governing the country is inseparable from scholars, whether the court and the people can enjoy together, whether culture can flourish, success and defeat!" ”

"In the past, in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, the successful implementation of the integrated payment of grain by the officials and gentry as errands was also because Hai Aiqing and some loyal people in Jiangnan understood the difficulties of the imperial court under the persuasion of Master Shen, and the imperial court took the initiative to encourage the world's wealthy people to seek other benefits, so it was finally successfully implemented."

"And now, if Master Shen wants to continue to reform the system, promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages, he still needs the cooperation of loyal people in the world, and he needs to be in harmony with the top and bottom, and the imperial court should give incentives to the policy, and the country does need people who are out of production to carry forward their own culture, so that culture and education can flourish, and the past and the present will be promoted."

"I thought about it."

"It's not as good as this, first of all, you can't eat the amplification and epiphytes of the food and the food is also allowed to eat, and the food of the food is appropriately improved, and the people are also allowed to eat the food, and the Ministry of Rites sets the specifications of the food, which is different from the original preferential exemption, only I can get the food to solve the basic livelihood problems or help one or two families, and I can't be exempted from the field, and I can get slaves and maids to contribute."

"Secondly, the official position will be awarded to the person, and if the person fails to win the first place twice in a row, the official position will be assigned by the official department!"

"Since the abolition of preferential exemption makes scholars and clansmen not know the good of reading, it is combined with the reality that the imperial court needs to increase bureaucrats!"

"Township and township-level officials are added here in the Ministry of Officials, and those who are awarded officials are given the same Jinshi background, and those who are born as Jinshi are also given. And the first among the jinshi, the starting point is higher, and it is more expensive than lifting people. ”

"In addition, in order to open up the wisdom of the people as soon as possible, we should increase a large number of teaching posts and set up more schools! On the basis of government-run social studies and academies, the faculties should prepare for the establishment of a more perfect school system, and even design a number of normal schools for the purpose of training a large number of teaching officials. ”

"Furthermore, as for exempting the whole family from Ding Yin, it is not impossible, anyone who is willing to be sent by the official or go overseas to serve as an official can be exempted from the whole family Ding Yin, in order to encourage them to go out and make contributions to the country."

"Finally, for the restoration of the heroic wind of the Han and Tang dynasties in China! All the members are given a nine-grade crown belt, and the people are given an eight-grade crown belt, they can recruit people to go to sea in the name of the imperial court to open up the land of my Ming Dynasty, if they open up a large county, they can be appointed as the county, and if they want to come back, they can ask the court to seal the three-grade hereditary military merit, and send another official; If you open up a large mansion, you can serve as the prefect, and if you want to come back, you can ask the court to confer the second-grade hereditary military merit, and send another official; If you want to come back, you can ask the imperial court to seal a hereditary military merit, and send another official. ”

"I don't care if they go out, I really just want to raise up the country of Yi, I want to be China, I only care about the fact that they are supported by the court but are cowardly and unwilling to go out to make contributions, they only know how to bully their own small people, instigate the small people to fight against the court, but I betrayed the small people who were instigated by myself when the imperial army pressed the border."
