Zhu Yijun agreed with Qi Jiguang's statement, so he bowed his head.

Moreover, Zhu Yijun also said directly: "If the reform can be successful, Zhu Qing will make great contributions, I will remember, the people of the world will remember, and future generations will also remember." ”

"Shame on you!"

Shen Shixing, Qi Jiguang and others hurriedly replied.

Zhu Yijun continued: "Luzon has been restored, and many wealthy families have been confiscated by the way, presumably this dynasty can implement some new good governance that benefits the people." ”

As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, Shen Shixing, Qi Jiguang, Wang Xijue, Wang Xuan, Luo Wanhua and other ruling ministers all straightened their waists, their faces full of pride.

Ministers who have a little bit of the ideal of helping the people are very willing to see this kind of policy realized through themselves.

After all, according to the teachings of the sages, it is their duty to benefit the people of the world.

At this time, Shen Shixing first shook up and played: "Your Majesty, the ministers are equal to the political affairs hall after the collegiate discussion, the implementation of good governance, relief is not as good as tax exemption and exemption, relief is easy to make the bureaucrats up and down, move and transfer, in short, make all kinds of means to make it difficult for the Holy Grace to reach the small people, it is not as simple as tax exemption and exemption, as long as the above reduces the collection of people's benefits, it is difficult for the bureaucrats below to have a reason to restrain the small people. ”

"Therefore, after the Reconquest of Luzon, based on the increased taxes and trade revenues of the Reconquest, and the estimated increase in the benefits of the subscription coupons from the mining reconquest, we propose that we can implement a policy of forever exempting the world from forced labor."

"In this way, we can further relieve the difficulties of the small people, promote industry and commerce, and reduce the situation that the small people have to rely on the right because of the burden of forced labor, and then inhibit the merger;"

"And if Your Majesty has no intention of exempting from forced labor, you can avoid the increased taxes and silver imposed by Jiangnan, and at present, all parts of the world are not evenly taxed."

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Luzon can be recovered, the credit lies in the people, if it were not for the people of the world who were willing to stand on the side of the imperial court to support the new ceremony, and even dared to make trouble with the traitors of the old school, dared to expose, and even supported the imperial court by buying subscription coupons, there would be no today's big victory, not to mention, behind the big victory itself is that hundreds of people's children enlisted in the army to fight on the battlefield, or built ships and equipment in factories." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun said: "Therefore, the new good government should benefit the people of the world, so it will be spared from servitude forever!" ”

"In this way, the benefits that the small people in Jiangnan can also enjoy, especially the majority of the landless people in Jiangnan who work for a living, can no longer pay Ding Yin, and can reduce labor costs."

"As for the reduction and exemption of Jiangnan's heavy taxes and gold and silver, I'll talk about it later! It is said that every inch of land in Jiangnan is valuable, so those who have land in Jiangnan are not in a hurry to get out of trouble by reducing taxes. ”

"Your Majesty said yes."

"Forever exempting the world from servitude is enough to shine for a thousand years, and make Your Majesty far more virtuous than three generations."

"How fortunate the ministers are to be in this prosperous era."

Shen Shixing said at this time.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"If it weren't for Your Majesty, this kind of good governance would have been unthinkable before."

"However, Your Majesty, conscription can be exempted, but once it is rebuilt, it will be difficult, I am afraid that once the imperial court cannot make profits through external development to support the army and raise officials, and it cannot be well governed internally, I am afraid that if you want to levy conscription again, it will be regarded as harsh government by the people of the world, and even smoke everywhere."

Qi Jiguang expressed his worries at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "I believe that the ministers and ministers in the back will be better than you, and they will be able to find a new way to enrich the country, if they are not as good as you, then there is no need to govern, abdicate and make way for the virtuous!" ”

"And in any case, at least in this life or generations of the people have enjoyed a prosperous age without the suffering of forced labor, and then posterity will at least know that our generation is worthy of being remembered by them, but it is necessary to keep a good record."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

At this time, Wang Xijue replied with his hand and said, "The old minister please set up a monument to remember this matter." ”

"Accurate!"

"Erect a monument to commemorate this matter in the Imperial Division."

Zhu Yijun replied with a smile.

"Motosuke, now the pressure on your cabinet is great."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qi Jiguang smiled and gossiped about Shen Shixing and other cabinet scholars.

You must know that there is too much good governance in the Wanli Dynasty.

First of all, at the beginning, the Qing Zhang acres of land made many small people have a lot less taxes on their shoulders that were added by the void, and later the Qing army was stopped forever, and even exempted from forced labor in Shaanxi and Shanxi, as well as the horse price silver and forage silver in Shandong, Henan, Fengyang, and Jingshi, as well as the Shandong class army system.

Therefore, up to now, after the country became rich, it was necessary to implement the system of benefiting the people, so as to show that if the imperial court really governed the country according to the principle of benefiting the people, the only way to do this was to permanently exempt the world from forced labor and eliminate the Jiangnan heavy endowment.

Originally, the ruling ministers would never be exempted from servitude in the world, but they didn't really want to put it forward, but the reason why they unanimously agreed to play it in front of the emperor was actually because they knew that the emperor would definitely prefer this, because it was easier to demonstrate holiness and make the internal affairs achievements of the dynasty leave a brilliant mark in the future history books.

It's just that they still put forward a proposal to exempt Jiangnan from heavy endowment and gold and silver, and hope that the emperor will choose this small one, and just mean it to the people of the world.

Moreover, the exemption from Jiangnan and gold and silver is unique to Jiangnan, and Jiangnan has the most literati, which will naturally give the emperor a good reputation.

This is equivalent to giving up relatively less to benefit the people in exchange for the same great fame.

But Zhu Yijun is a value-oriented person in the end, he doesn't want to engage in these false things, and he really prefers to raise the height of good governance to a higher level, so that the future saints will have to give greater benefits if they want to surpass him, and they may even need to directly establish a better welfare system.

So.

As Qi Jiguang said, the pressure on Zhu Yijun's cabinet is naturally quite large.

This is because the fact that the world is now forever exempted from forced labor is based on the good governance that domestic economic development and external development can be sufficient to support it.

In other words, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, and the bureaucrats in charge of internal affairs in the world must really be able to use the wealth obtained by the raid of the house and Luzon, so that the stability of the country will not be affected by the eternal exemption from the world's forced labor.

At least for the duration of their tenure.

This requires that the bureaucrats in the cabinet are really capable of governing, which can not only greatly develop the internal productive forces, but also obtain a lot of external benefits.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang said to Shen Shixing that the cabinet was under great pressure.

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "The cabinet is under pressure, why is the Privy Council not under pressure?" Anyway, if a military general is greedy for life and afraid of death, has courage and no strategy, or even only knows how to drink the blood of soldiers and rob the people's wealth, which affects the country's major policies for foreign development, the cabinet will not follow. ”

"How dare you slack off!"

"Whatever is foreseen is established, and what is not prepared is wasted."

"If you really want to prepare to be exempted from forced labor, with such a holy monarch in power, at least in this life, it can be done."

Qi Jiguang replied with a smile.

Shen Shixing looked at the blue sky and said, "Yes, the prosperity of the Wanli Dynasty should be so brilliant, even if it is not necessarily the present, it must be ancient!" ”

Once the edict was issued, it did cause a thousand waves.

The whole country applauds.

For this good governance is beneficial to all classes.

The big landlords who are in the family are like clouds naturally pay a large amount of Ding silver.

Not to mention the middle and lower class landlords, they don't have to pay Ding Yin, which is also very affordable, and it can undoubtedly give them extra money to invest in industry and commerce and education.

Needless to say, ordinary people do not have to pay Ding Yin, and they also have a lot less burden, and the extremely poor do not have to join the slavery because the landlord can help pay Ding Yin, and they will have less personal dependence with Haoyou, and can become free people, which can promote the growth of the worker and citizen class, and at the same time stimulate domestic demand, so that the domestic market can be further expanded.

The increase in domestic people's consumption demand will undoubtedly have a positive stimulating effect on the emergence of industrialization, and more factories will take the initiative to increase research and development and improve productivity.

So, all classes are happy.

But because of this, many people in the old party were happy and frustrated.

Gu Xiancheng, who had become a monk, learned about this from Zhang Whale, Qian Yiyi, and Gu Yuncheng, and asked very unacceptably: "Is it really to be exempted from the world's servitude?" ”
