Chapter Fifty-Nine: Sir

Yang Rong thought about it seriously, and then gave Zhu Gaochi a detailed introduction to his considerations.

This is indeed a very new and attractive measure, and it is not empty talk.

But it comes with enormous risks.

First of all, the people who go to the various political envoys to be responsible for the implementation of the apportionment into the mu must be strong and powerful, otherwise they will easily be hollowed out by the localities.

It is not difficult to understand that local interest groups are inherently resistant to any change in their inherent affairs, which greatly affects all officials in the entire chain of interests.

In addition, the nature of the apportionment of acres and the specific implementation measures of apportionment must be carefully considered, and it is difficult to achieve a one-size-fits-all approach across the country.

Who "actually" pays for the levy paid for the acres of land? Will there be other ways to circumvent it?

Should the land of the nature of official land, such as the royal family, feudal kings, and nobles, which was previously exempt or reduced, be treated in the same way as the private land of ordinary landlords?

It is debatable whether the composition of the first batch of officials responsible for the reform is stable and credible.

Finally, the amount of tax that needs to be paid to the imperial court each year after the apportionment is also controversial, and it can even be said that it is extremely risky, and the slightest carelessness may lead to failure.

In addition, there are also disputes over the spontaneous supervision of the people's contribution to the mu, and the relevant laws must be amended in advance to prevent it.

For example, if a local powerful landlord violates the apportionment, others can make a profit by reporting it, but the government must ensure that there will be no retaliation after the report.

All in all, these fragmentary problems, both big and small, may seem to be fearless, but in fact they may lead to the death or loss of official positions of those responsible for apportionment, and may also lead to reforms that are like Wang Anshi's reforms, which will be distorted at the grassroots level.

After listening to Yang Rong's calm analysis, Yang Shiqi was silent for a long time and insisted: "The minister thinks that this matter must not be done!" ”

Xie Jin also echoed: "Your Highness, this legal commission is too dangerous, please consider it carefully......"

"Are you scared?" Zhu Gaochi turned his head and asked indifferently.

The three of them bowed in unison and said, "The ministers don't dare." ”

"This is Your Majesty's will, and I can't disobey the Holy Will."

Zhu Gaochi's tone revealed a kind of perseverance: "Your Majesty has made a decision, and Your Majesty will definitely implement it until this law is implemented." ”

His voice grew deeper and deeper, with an irresistible majesty, "This matter is not negotiable! ”

The three cabinet ministers were silent for a moment.

Yang Rong said secretly: "No wonder the eldest prince has not relaxed about the matter of tax reduction and exemption at all, it turns out that Emperor Yongle's attitude towards the landlords in Jiangnan has not changed at all...... Emperor Yongle is really a hero, and he can even handle such a ruthless decision that offends the interests of a large number of landlords. ”

Sighing, Yang Rong thought leisurely, this Jiang Xinghuo's talent may have reached the level of "penetrating the heavens and the earth" from the current point of view.

As long as such a policy of apportionment into the mu is really implemented under the strong promotion of Emperor Yongle, the people's will be completely attached.

Then the rivers and mountains obtained by Emperor Yongle's rebellion will sit firmly!

Wizard of the world!

Admire!

Admire the five bodies to the ground!

On Yang Rong's side, Yang Shiqi was originally responsible for this matter, but now Yang Shiqi suddenly found that he was not qualified to participate in the discussion at all. Emperor Yongle and the Great Prince had already made it clear that they were going to do it, and if they stopped it again, they would be completely angered.

Yang Shiqi sighed: "The minister is willing to obey the emperor's orders." ”

Xie Jin didn't say a word, with a silent and speechless attitude, and he was not as shocked as Zhu Gaochi expected.

This was the first time that Zhu Gaochi felt that there was actually an invisible barrier between the cabinet officials who had gotten along with him for several months and him.

It's like two groups of people on both sides of the abyss because of different positions.

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Zhu Gaochi was sullen for a while, and waved his hand happily, "Everyone go back and rest." ”

Xie Jin and the three of them stood up and saluted, and then said goodbye and left.

Side.

It was late at night, and the late summer breeze was gradually mixed with a hint of autumn.

When they came to the front of their respective carriages, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Rong stopped almost at the same time.

The first to speak was Yang Shiqi, who was usually the most particular about cultivating qi, and his attitude was also the most intense, which instantly made the atmosphere tense.

"What is Jiang Xinghuo's heart, his heart can be punished!" Yang Shiqi angrily reprimanded, "If the service is implemented, the already heavy burden on the Jiangnan gentry will be directly pressed into a mountain!" ”

"After all, it is for the benefit of the country and the people." Yang Rong said a fair word, "Jiang Xinghuo can come up with this kind of countermeasure, it's really a rare talent in the world, it's a pity...... Hey......"

"It's insulting." Xie Jin sneered: "The ruined son of the broken family, if he can't get famous, he is jealous that he can pass the exam." If the gentry also have to pay the same money as the common people in lieu of servitude, what kind of fame will the big guy have to work hard for more than ten years? Phew! ”

Xie Jin's heart was angry, and he actually spit yellow phlegm on the street in a humiliating manner.

Afterwards, Xie Jin scolded Jiang Xinghuo again, and only then did he feel relieved.

Yang Rong frowned slightly when he saw this, but Yang Shiqi turned a blind eye, but became more and more indignant.

"Your Majesty wants to abandon the evil of the scholar?"

"Is the Heavenly Family ruling the country with the scholars, or with the common people?"

"Brother Dongli!" Yang Rong scolded, "Be careful! ”

"I admit that Jiang Xinghuo is rare in the world", Yang Shiqi said helplessly, "But this Jiang Xinghuo, do you really think that he is a prince like Wang Linchuan who can weigh the world?" It's Wang Linchuan, didn't he also end up with a change of law that was abolished and ended up depressed? ”

When it came to this, Yang Rong listened to Yang Shiqi's complaints, and replied in a ghostly manner.

"Jiang Xinghuo's heavenly wisdom may not be inferior to Wang Linchuan in the Song Dynasty, but today's heroic spirit is really not comparable to Song Shenzong......"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was stunned for a while, and then fell silent.

The three wise people all realized that a storm with a painful skin for the landlord class might really blow from Jiang Xinghuo, a mysterious person, and then sweep the entire Ming Dynasty.

The three carriages were far away, and a long sigh came from behind the door.

Zhu Zhanji grabbed his father's hand, and it was still a little difficult to accept it for a while, and his little face was full of puzzlement.

"The three gentlemen are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the top smart people in the world, and the future is to support the society. But why does it sound like they might as well be a prisoner today? ”

"It's not as good as itself."

Zhu Gaochi patted his son's head, and wanted to pull him back to the room, saying casually.

"It's not just that it's not as good as learning...... What's worse is that I'm afraid it's this heart. ”

Zhu Zhanji stood still and didn't move, Zhu Gaochi didn't force it, and looked down at his son.

"Father, today the child really understands a truth."

"What's the truth?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a smile.

"What's going on in the Six Dynasties, it's just a private plan." Zhu Zhanji was a little sad at first, and then said excitedly, "A person with a public heart like Jiang Xinghuo, even if he is in prison, is really worthy of being called 'sir'." On the contrary, some people who read 'insulting Sven' can't afford it. ”
