Zhu Di became interested, "Let's hear it." ”

"The owner of the Qingzhang land is not allowed to go to the Qingzhang land in this province." Li Qing said seriously, "In addition, the reward for reporting and exposing the illegal work of colleagues must be greater than the merit of the land itself, so as to greatly avoid the situation of overreporting the number of acres of land for the sake of merit;

Suhu is ripe, the world is full, Jiangsu and Zhejiang should pay more attention, and the officials who go to Qingzhang Tianmu are best to use northerners to ......"

Zhu Di nodded frequently.

"The purpose of clearing the acres of land is to raise taxes, not to plunder the people." Li Qing sighed, "Eight hundred lords of the thousand-year-old field!

The people are poor, have no ability to resist risks, the wind and rain are good, but when they encounter a little difficulty, they have to sell their land in exchange for life;

Clearing the acres of land can also greatly reduce the excess burden of the people, due to the delay in information, many people are no arable land, and they have to pay taxes. ”

Li Qing suggested, "The minister thinks that Qingzhang Tianmu should be set as a permanent residence, for example: Qingzhang once every three years." ”

Zhu Di thought so and nodded in agreement.

After chatting about the details for a while, Zhu Di brought the topic to the queen's condition.

In this regard, Li Qing did not have a good way, so he could only promise to try his best to heal.

~

In the afternoon dynasty, Zhu Di issued the policy of clearing the acres of land.

The ministers secretly complained, especially when they heard that Qingzhang Tianmu had been changed to permanent residence, and once every three years, they were even more bitter.

But they have no legitimate reason to oppose it, and all the shortcomings they put forward have been perfectly solved, what else can they say, they have to go against their will: "The emperor is wise." ”

However, the loss of interests is so great, they will not give up.

So, the Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

The waiter who gave the gift yesterday came one after another to ask Li Qing for help.

Unfortunately, Li Qing is sick and can't see the guests.

Yesterday he collected money and smiled, but he didn't even see anyone in his work today, which made the civil officials very angry.

They are all shrewd, and they can't see that Li Qing is pretending to be sick, but there is no way to take Li Qing.

……

Li Qing's illness was more than half a month, and it was not until the officials of Qingzhang Tianmu went to the countryside that he got better, and he barely went to the noon court.

The wood is already in the boat, and the officials can only look at the ocean and sigh.

This time, the interests of the Qingzhang acres were not only the gentry who were damaged, but also the nobles were greatly affected.

They are also greedy, and they have gathered a large amount of land in their hometown, almost all of them are landlords, and after this time they are cleared, the loss of money is not a small amount.

Zhu Di naturally understood these, so he secretly rewarded Xungui to appease.

The treasury has no money, but he can print money.

This time, Li Qing did not persuade him, Zhu Di printed 20 million banknotes in one go, which was used as the expenses of the imperial court, and the officials were half of the rice, half of the banknotes, and the rest of the treasure banknotes, all of which were used for the construction of the new capital and the canal.

There is no way, the treasury is really out of money, the depreciation of treasure money and the bankruptcy of the imperial court can only choose one, Zhu Di did not hesitate to choose the former.

Fortunately, the Daming treasure banknote has been strong for decades and has not caused major turmoil, and at present, the treasure banknote credit is still very good.

Printing money means inflation, but inflation is not necessarily a bad thing and can stimulate economic development to a certain extent.

However, this is based on economic development that can outrun inflation.

For now, the extra 20 million treasure banknotes will be issued by Da Ming without any problems.

Li Qing cautiously observed the situation and found that the over-issuance of treasure banknotes was not as serious as he imagined, and the money was spent, which drove the employment rate and increased the circulation of large treasure banknotes.

Although there will inevitably be some price increases, it is within the acceptable range.

Time passed day by day, Li Qing, the secretary of the military department, was very good at stealing and playing tricks, there was no war, and the military department was still very idle, except for treating the queen and punching in the court, most of the time he was at home.

The matter of publishing the Yongle Ceremony was done by Xia Yuanji of the Ministry of Households, and Li Qing was also happy.

However, every time the edition of the dictionary was printed, he got a set, and not a single volume was lost.

There are nearly 2,000 copies of the Yongle Canon in the collection.

……

In December, the Warat tribe came to pay tribute, and Zhu Di accepted their tribute and resumed the tea and horse trade.

Then, the Tatar Ministry also came to pay tribute, and Zhu Di let the Ministry of Rites receive it, and appropriately increased the scale of trade.

At the same time, the canal has also reached the final stage, and the construction of the new capital is also more than halfway through, which can be said to be a good situation, and the only bad thing is Xu Miaoyun's body.

Zhu Di saw that his daughter-in-law's health was getting worse day by day, so he simply handed over the national affairs to the prince and took his wife back to Beiping.

In the name of it, it is to check the progress of the construction of the new capital, but in fact, it is to travel.

As soon as Zhu Di left, the ministers immediately came to the spirit, mentioning the old things, and shouting about the dangers of frequent land clearance.

Xiaopang was physically and mentally exhausted, so he had to consult with Li Qing.

In the guest hall, the two sat opposite each other.

Xiaopang was full of sorrow, and said with a wry smile, "My father is just temporarily away from Beijing, and they will collectively rebound, if my father is not there one day, I will not rebel!" ”

He is now feeling more and more overwhelmed, and he really can't play this big mess.

Li Qing was silent for a moment, "It's a matter of time before the gentry rebel, and it is not a good thing to show it early, if you have a preparation in advance, you will not be in a hurry when it comes to that day." ”

Zhu Di is too ruthless to the official gentry, resistance is inevitable, and it is just an appetizer at the moment.

If Zhu Di really collapses one day, although the gentry will not rebel, there will definitely be turmoil.

Xiaopang pondered for a moment and said: "It's too rigid and easy to break, if it continues like this, something will definitely happen at that time, and I'm ready to expand the rules!" ”

"How?"

"Qingzhang Tianmu is changed to once every five years." Xiaopang said, "I have carefully calculated, it takes about a year to clear the country once, and once every three years is indeed a bit frequent, and it also has a certain impact on government affairs;

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and absolute light cannot exist, so we can only try to make more light and less dark;

It is impossible for the world to be free of corrupt officials, and it is impossible for everyone to work for the country. ”

Li Qing nodded, and said worriedly: "It's okay to do it once every five years, but I'm afraid that if this opening is opened, the civil official group will become even worse." ”

"If that's the case, kill!" Xiaopang, who has always been mild-mannered, showed killing for the first time, "Killing methods are indispensable, so that they understand the end of not following the rules." ”

"Of course, the imperial court must also make some concessions, and it can't be forced too much, so that they have room to return, otherwise, the world may really be in chaos."

Xiaopang worried, "If it goes on like this, they may be in chaos if they don't wait for their father to die." ”

"Probably not." Li Qing shook his head.

"Definitely." Xiaopang said solemnly, "Brother Qing, you are concerned about the overall situation, and you don't know about the secret fight between the DPRK and China, and the current situation is very serious." ”

Li Qing still felt that it was unlikely, and asked: "The court situation is like this, your father doesn't know?" ”

"He only cares about big things, and never cares about small things, I'm dealing with them." Xiaopang sighed, "Above the court, no one will show their purpose as soon as they come up, they are all a little temptation, and when the poor dagger sees it, the general trend has been achieved." ”

"Didn't you tell the emperor about this?"

"He won't listen!" Xiaopang smiled bitterly, "He thinks that as long as there is an iron and bloody hand, the civilian clique will not be able to mess up, but the real situation is not like this." ”

His fat face was full of solemnity, "In fact, civil officials are not terrible, what is terrible is that the officials and gentry are one, and not only civil officials, but also nobles." ”

"The founding nobles, the nobles of Jingnan, the relatives of the country, the energy of this kind of group, is only stronger than the rich gentry, not weak, with the development of the Ming Dynasty, there will be more and more nobles, national relatives, and the ...... of vassal kings"

"Brother Qing, have you forgotten, how did my father, the emperor, come here?"

Li Qing froze for a moment, and his expression became solemn.

Xiaopang said again, "Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, there are not many who are truly loyal to the monarch, they care more about their own interests, to put it mildly, as long as the Ming Emperor's surname is Zhu, who seeks benefits for them, who they support!" ”

His tone was slightly tired, "Wasn't the reason why Jianwen was defeated in the first place because the interests of Xungui were seriously damaged?"

Take this land clearance as an example, the damage to the interests of the nobles is no less than that of the civil officials, and it is even worse;

The reason why they are honest is because they have their father, and they don't have a choice, but if their father is a hundred years later, it will be different. ”

"You mean...... King Han? Li Qing frowned.

"Whether it is the King of Han, or the King of Zhao, or all the vassal kings in the world, who can resist the temptation of the Ninety-Five Supreme?" Xiaopang said, "When the civil and military officials secretly promise to support it, do you think he dares to rise up?" ”

Li Qing was silent for a long time before he said, "What can you do?" ”
