Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 312 New Deal ([-])

Zhu Yunying looked at Lao Zhu, he already had an idea about his new policy.In the final analysis, this is the idea that Xiao Zhu had long ago.Regarding the idea of ​​the New Deal, Zhu Yunying had indeed already started preparing for it.

Regarding the elevation of the status of civil servants and the reduction of taxes in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, these are all things that must be done.

Now it is Xiao Zhu, even if it is not Xiao Zhu, as long as he is the second king of Daming, he should do this.

In the final analysis, it is time for Lao Zhu's high pressure to relax a little bit, and it cannot always be the way of governing troubled times and founding a country.Otherwise, some people may really think that this is 'Bao Qin', which is too strict, and this is simply 'Legalism'.

In fact, whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, in the eyes of some traditional Confucian disciples, it just has some legalist meanings.Or maybe it means the Gongyang School. Of course, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu don't approve of the real Gongyang School.

Gongyang School, which is a school of Confucian classics that specializes in the study and inheritance of "Chunqiu Gongyang Zhuan".

Zhu Yunying naturally likes the Gongyang faction's great revenge theory, the difference between Yi and Xia, overbearing and kingly ways, etc.But in Zhu Yunying's view, he actually doesn't agree with some of the theories of the Gongyang faction.

For example, the Gongyang faction wants to limit the power of the king, and feels that the Son of Heaven is not "heaven", and that the power of the king is not eternal.In fact, the Guliang faction also respected the royal power more. They didn't like the Gongyang faction's theory that when the emperor could not perform his duties, the princes could perform their responsibilities, respect the king and fight against barbarians, etc.

The Guliang faction has the advantages of the Guliang faction, and many of their theories are indeed more beneficial to the rule of the feudal monarch.But when some of the Ram factions were more suitable, Zhu Yunying naturally chose the Ram faction unceremoniously.

He is not a fan of the Guliang faction, and naturally he will not be a supporter of the Gongyang faction.As long as it is good for Daming, he likes to use it.

"The grandson asked Lian Qiongqiong to visit her relatives, and asked her to go back and pass on a message." Zhu Yunying laughed, and said to Lao Zhu after testing the water temperature, "Our daughter-in-law still has some skills, so let her father help her." It’s easy for us to pass on the word. Three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of plumbing ducks in the spring river, my grandson likes this set the most.”

Under Zhu Yunying's service, Lao Zhu took off his shoes and began to soak his feet, "That's the reason, our Yinger likes these the most."

Zhu Yunying continued, "Grandson wants to reform the tax system, and the land in the south of the Yangtze River is an opportunity. Let's implement a whip method in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang first. If it is suitable here, we will implement the new tax in the next day."

Lao Zhu slapped his hands, and he was even more proud, "Okay, our grandson is down-to-earth! If we do well in one place, we can promote it all over the world!"

Pilot, this is a very necessary thing, Zhu Yunying thinks this kind of thing is what he should do.It may not be a good thing if some policies are implemented all over the world immediately. It is more appropriate to implement and pilot them in a small area first.

Zhu Yunying still had some ideas, and continued to say to Lao Zhu, "Including the land reform that my grandson mentioned before, it was also carried out in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In fact, my grandson thought that under the banner of the mine field, those literati should not be grateful. "

Old Zhu pointed to Xiao Zhu, and became cheerful, "Our grandson is full of bad water!"

That's not it, this is where Zhu Yunying is a little proud.

"This well field is the dream of those scholars. "Mencius", "Zhouli" and "Book of Songs" are simply the great order of the world that scholars think about." Zhu Yunying became cheerful and quite proud, "In fact, it is the same as ours. The policy is also in line."

It is said that the well field system appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and it was well developed in the Western Zhou Dynasty.In the Spring and Autumn Period, due to many reasons such as the appearance of iron farm tools and the popularity of ox farming, the well field system gradually disintegrated.

In the final analysis, the well fields belonged to the king of Zhou and were distributed to the common people.The lord was not allowed to buy, sell or transfer the well fields, and had to pay a certain amount of tribute.The lord forced the common people to cultivate the well fields collectively, with private fields around them and public fields in the middle.In essence, it is a private land system, but some people think it is just a utopian fantasy of scholars.

In fact, to be honest, Zhu Yunying's land reform has some similarities with the well field system.

The land belongs to the state and is allocated to the people for use. This is fundamentally correct.And in Daming, land is also divided into private and state-owned.

Nor did they nationalize all of them in one go, which would only dissuade some landlords from their enthusiasm.Speaking of an emperor like Zhu Yunying, who is the spokesperson of the feudal landlord class, he still needs to protect some of the enthusiasm of the landlords.

Zhu Yunying only restricted land annexation, and only restricted the development of some land classes, not completely eliminating them.

Zhu Yunying was very clear about these things, he didn't intend to take too big a step, because he knew that would not be a good thing.It is also Zhu Yunying's expectation to take every step steadily.

Zhu Yunying knew these things well, and he really planned to do so, and he had to do everything well.

The New Deal, that's how it should be.No matter how good the policies are, if they are rushed or there are some unacceptable conditions, it is likely to bring a series of turmoil, which is not a good thing.

Zhu Yunying really needs to do more experiments and do more research in order to make better improvements.Take a look at the effect of the pilot and see if you can notice some shortcomings. This is also for better governance of the world.

Zhu Yunying was full of expectations, and said to Lao Zhu, "The grandson still has a lot of ideas, and he will start a new deal in all aspects."

The New Deal, of course, does not exist just some reforms without practical significance, nor does it exist just some measures that cannot really benefit the people.Zhu Yunying really doesn't like those vain people.

Zhu Yunying opened his mouth and continued, "Our Daming's treasury is still full now, but over the years, our Daming's redundant officials should also be changed. My grandson watched the government a few years ago, and now he is in charge of the government. I also feel that some officials It should be removed, so as to save some salary."

This speaks to Lao Zhu's heart, and being able to save some money is definitely a good thing for Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Since we plan to ease the sentence and save the prison, some people will be dismissed from the Dali Temple. We also plan to remove some amount from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, merge the provinces and counties, and strengthen the governance of the prefectures and counties."

For these ideas proposed by Zhu Yunying, Lao Zhu naturally would not object.If he was on the throne, even if he didn't plan to do these things now, he would have to do them sooner or later. Some things had to be done.

Zhu Yunying and Lao Zhu were chatting endlessly. Generally speaking, his new policy is to benefit the people, and it is also to improve the efficiency of some court affairs.While further enriching the national treasury, it is also necessary to further strengthen the national power of Ming Dynasty in the past few years, so as to make the people rich and the country strong.

Don't look like Wenzhi, it's just that Zhu Yunying obviously intends to strengthen his control over prefectures and counties.Such things as imperial power not going to the countryside are very common in feudal dynasties, but Zhu Yunying also needs to control the territory of Ming Dynasty. Actual control is a must, and this is also some key points in recent years.

Old Zhu was in a good mood. When Zhu Yunying was talking about these things, he also put forward some ideas of his own and made some supplements from time to time.

These are also very necessary things. Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty will start some direct policy changes now.Some of the policies of Lao Zhu's period do need to have some continuity.

It's just that Zhu Yunying and Lao Zhu are very clear that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, they can start to carry out the new policies slowly, and start to make small-scale changes to some of Ming's policies, so that they can start a series of Changes were further promoted at the beginning of the entire scope of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Zhu, who was lying on the couch, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Grandpa, grandson, after thinking about it, we think that the six books are the first grade, is it a little bit higher? Otherwise, we can start from the first grade?"

The current Zhengyipin of Ming Dynasty is theoretically the left and right Zongzheng and the left and right clan members of the clan mansion, who are in charge of the royal family's affiliation and compilation of jade documents.Don't look at it as if it's a general authority, but theoretically it's a first-class one, and this is a position that only princes can have.

Furthermore, the three masters, Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, are the first-rank official positions.In fact, the left and right governors of the Dudufu of the Five Armies are also of the first rank, and the additional officials such as Zuo Zhuguo, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, and Special Jin Guanglu Doctor are also of the first rank.

As soon as Lao Zhu turned over, he immediately said, "Then start with the first rank. The prime minister we managed to get rid of is the first rank. Those literati still can't be too good-looking. Let them be the first rank now, and they want to be the first rank tomorrow." Prime Minister."

Let's start with the first rank, theoretically it must be slightly lower than the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yunying immediately said, "Grandson is planning to give it to the eldest aunt's house, and I will give it some face."

Old Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and said angrily, "What's wrong? Are we treating Mei Yin badly?"

"We are talking about the elder aunt, the aunt of Lin'an." Zhu Yunying immediately explained, and said, "Li Qi is doing pretty well in Tianjin, and Li Shanchang has died long ago. We also plan to write a decent letter to him."

Li Shanchang was demoted at the beginning, a large part of the reason was that he thought he was smart.It seems to be retreating, but the remote control command is not mentioned, and Hu Weiyong and Lao Zhu are also pushed to fight for power.

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment. Zhu Jingjing, the Princess of Lin'an, was his eldest daughter, and Lao Zhu regarded this daughter very highly.

Lao Zhu thought for a while, and said, "We think that we have given him dignity by not killing Li Shanchang. We have to agree, we have deposed the Duke of the Kingdom, and you can't give it to them. How about this, give you those two tokens." Brother is an official. When we die, give them more dignity."

Zhu Yunying refused to approve, and immediately said, "It's okay, I can give some face now. Li Shanchang will definitely not give a high position. For the sake of the eldest aunt, I will give my cousins ​​a command envoy and co-prefect. , and royal dignity."

Third grade, at most it is third grade, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement.Just give it to a loose official and not hold power, that's fine!
