Chapter 467: Killing and Punishment

"Drag it down!"

Xing Jue didn't say much, only ordered directly.

He had nothing to talk about with these Japanese daimyos.

Because the core needs of the Ming Dynasty's external expansion are, first, fertile land, to solve the problem of more people and less land in China; The second is the market that consumes a large number of cheap goods such as cotton cloth.

Therefore, in essence, the Ming Dynasty needed to eliminate as many of these exploiting strata as possible who owned the land of the Wa Kingdom and had nothing to produce, that is, these daimyos.

There is the power of the imperial court to protect the safety of the lives and property of the domestic disaster victims after they migrate overseas, which makes Gao Zijia and other Han people who migrated basically not suffer much from the slaughter of the local Japanese landlord class, so that many people have become prosperous in a year or two.

And in the country.

For Emperor Zhu Yijun, what he was most happy about was to see that the problem of more people and less land was finally solved by external transfer, rather than solving people, that is, after forcing the displaced people to rebel into rogues, these superfluous people were slaughtered.

Before Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty did just that.

Including the historical Zhang Juzheng, during the reform period, he also adopted a strategy based on suppression and killing in response to the turmoil caused by too many displaced people.

And Wang Yangming did the same when solving the problem of too many displaced people.

There is no way, if you don't expand externally, this is the only way, after all, people can be killed, but it is difficult to increase the grain production of the land a lot at once.

Zhu Yijun's purpose in implementing the new rite is to change this way.

Let the solution of domestic problems not be solved in the cruel way of killing each other, but try to be gentle.

In this way, there can be a more tolerant environment for individuals in China, so that the individuality of the Chinese people can be promoted, and then all kinds of disciplines can be developed, a hundred flowers will bloom, and a new technological revolution will be promoted, and the individuality will not be suppressed because of the cruelty of the struggle.

From the emperor to the commoners, it can not be a mold, not because of the lack of resources, everyone will not have a sense of security, and they will not all be very angry.

"Your Majesty, 37,362 landless people, 19,438 people, have been relocated this year; 365,972 acres of land have been divided."

"In addition, since the beginning of the ninth year of Wanli, after the immigrants divided the land, Dongying, Mao Mian, and Donglai (Taiwan) have increased the land tax by more than 1,06,700 taels."

On this day, Xuanzhi Gate, Zhu Yijun looked at the court here as scheduled.

In the early morning of this day, the head of the household department reported to him about the increase in taxes after the immigrants went to sea and the immigrants who went to sea.

In fact, the migration of Han people did not start this year, and before that, people began to be encouraged to move to the sea, but it was only this year because of the catastrophe that the imperial court officially began to organize the large-scale migration of disaster victims.

Before the imperial court, there was no official organization of immigration, but only encouragement, because of the consideration of the evil side of human nature.

Because if the imperial court organizes emigration, and uses the method of passing the test and setting indicators, many officials below will have the courage to accuse the rich families of being homeless, and force them to move away, seize their family property, and turn the relocated people into a tyranny of plundering the people, and the bosses and other officials who are in charge of them will also turn a blind eye to the good looks.

Therefore, before this, the imperial court only encouraged immigrants and did not impose requirements.

If there are no such requirements in the examination of officials, even if there are still officials who seize the wealth of the people and force them to relocate, the imperial court will be able to stand on its own in rectification, and the officials such as Fu will not connive at the officials under them because of the results and indicators of the examination.

It is only now that when large-scale victims appear, the imperial court will send a special envoy to organize immigration.

The conversation turned back.

It is precisely because the relocation of the people did not start this year, but since the beginning of the ninth year of Wanli, the people have been encouraged to migrate, so now the overseas field tax has been increased to more than one million taels of silver.

A million taels of silver dollars is a lot, which is equivalent to nearly one million taels of silver.

You must know that before the reform of the Wanli Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, Taicang's annual income of silver was only an average of 4 million taels, and the increase was 1 million taels of silver

The tax revenue of the yuan is not a small amount, and it is a very dazzling achievement in finance!

Zhu Yijun is very pleased with this, and it is not a good thing to be able to increase taxes by neither killing people nor increasing taxes.

It's true that he doesn't kill much.

Even the natives don't kill much, because the Ming has a productivity advantage.

"It is very good that since overseas revenues have increased, the taxes of the people in China can be reduced or reduced at discretion, such as the customs tax on horse silver, agricultural implements, looms and other equipment, so as to help the people reduce their burdens and promote farming."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

Wang Xun raised his eyes and was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The minister obeys the order! Your Majesty's love for the people is the most benevolent saint that has never been seen in eternity!"

"Your Majesty is certainly as benevolent as the sky, but there are female officials who harbor evil intentions and want to destroy Your Majesty's government!"

"In the past, there was a government to clean up Buddhist temples to accumulate wealth and enrich themselves, and then there was an attempt to embezzle Zhao'an's funds by taking advantage of Zhao'an immigration, and the weight of their greed is unprecedented!"

"As a result, the heavens warned that Gyeonggi is now dry and rainless, Fengxiang also had a long drought last year, and the year before last, Guangxi was a long drought, and there was also an earthquake and floods in Huaiyang."

"Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of such a female cadre, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people to rebel against the world!"

"The female cadre mentioned by the minister is Li Zhe, the Cheng of Guanglu Temple and his teacher Shen Shixing, who was previously exposed by the governor Zhang Butang (Zhang Yue)!"

"Shen Shi Xingming is obviously to implement the new policy, but in fact, he secretly instructed Li Zhe to make Zhang Butang use Zhao'an Silver to share it privately with the gentry."

"This Zhang Butang has already been impeached, but Shen Shixing colluded with the political envoy Ni Guangjian to hide the bullet seal, so that His Majesty did not know, so the minister had to send it to His Majesty on the day of the Dynasty!"

After Wang Xuan said this, Hubu Lang Zhongjiang Zhongxiao immediately left the court class and impeached Shen Shixing and Li Zhe to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun knew about this, because Zhang Yue did impeach Shen Shixing and Li Zhe, saying that Li Zhe entrusted Shen Shixing with the name of asking Zhang Yue to collude with the local gentry to suppress the rogues when he went to Zhao'an, and privately divided the stolen silver.

But Zhu Yijun didn't believe that Shen Shixing would be so greedy, and when he knew that what he needed was to let the recruits go overseas to open up, he dared to take care of people's lives for the sake of embezzling Zhao'an's funds.

What's more, Zhang Yue presented only the empirical evidence of Li Zhe's participation in this matter, and there was no empirical evidence of Shen Shixing's participation.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun only asked Jinyiwei to secretly investigate, and did not deal with it much.

But at this time, Jiang Zhongxiao used this to talk about it, and also used natural disasters to warn him to prove that Shen Shixing's eldest daughter did a great evil, which made him have to doubt Jiang Zhongxiao's true purpose.

Things in the court are always treacherous, some people seem to impeach is actually protection, and some people seem to support it but it is sabotage.

What Zhu Yijun needs to do is not to fall into the trap easily.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun only said in this river, and asked, "If a natural disaster appears, if it is a warning, then it must be my fault! After all, I am the Son of Heaven, and the minister's immorality is also my improper use of people! So, you mean I'm not using people properly?"

Jiang Zhongxiao was slightly stunned, then fell to the ground, gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes! The warning from heaven is to remind Your Majesty that Shen Shixing has failed Your Majesty and does not have the loyalty to Your Majesty in the past, and he should be punished!"
