eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 87: Pure Harassment (Part [-])
From the Ming Dynasty to today, the problem is not small.Firstly, the reduction of the tax base means land annexation; secondly, the destruction of the Zhongyan Law will cause a shortage of food at the border, and these vassals, eunuchs, and nobles of the Hongzhi Dynasty begged on a large scale...

In fact, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet.Later, there was no other way, and when the supply of the original Lumi in the palace was insufficient, a part of the folded silver was distributed.

It's really getting worse and worse.

Now that this situation has happened to Zhu Houzhao, he must find a way to stop it.

Express his principles in dealing with this matter in modern language, telling the old to do the same, and the new to do it new.

In the past, many dignitaries occupied the land, so Zhu Houzhao will not pursue them for the time being, for the time being.Because if you want to get a thorough "water to clear", honestly speaking, it is easy to come up with a "secondary Jing is difficult".

But these 'newcomers' want to obtain additional land through reasonable and legal channels allowed by the emperor, sorry, that won't work.

Rebel if you have the ability, let's have a touch.

If you insist on occupying land through secret means, you can do it if you have the guts, you just need to pray every day not to be discovered.

On the way back to the East Palace, the more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the tighter his fists were clenched.

This time, we have to catch some people and stand up to them, otherwise everything will go on as usual, so where is the influence of him as a traverser?

He didn't even want to wait until he came to the throne, the treasury was still empty, and there was not a grain of grain in the warehouse. Wouldn't these years be wasted?

You can't expect him to invent a steam engine, he doesn't know how to build that stuff.The improvement of productivity is not such a simple matter, but he has not yet figured out the refined salt.

And even if it has been improved, people's lives were still very hard during the first and second industrial revolutions. In the final analysis, the country must be governed well.

As long as man-made disasters persist, even if you invent airplanes and cannons, it won’t work.

After returning, Zhu Houzhao immediately wrote a letter to Yang Tinghe.

He called Zhang Yong over to explain,
"Send it to Qingzhou day and night, ask Yang Tinghe to handle it accordingly, without delay!"

"Yes!"

Speaking of it, Yang Tinghe should also understand that when he was still in Beijing earlier, he himself said that if the opportunity is right... Maybe he can do more Qi Kuan.

It's only pity that King Qi and King Yong were unlucky and ran into him.

Yong Wang Zhu Youzun is not this year, he was conferred the title of Yong Wang early on, but he is in Hengzhou, that is, it has just been decided.The emperor specially ordered him to stay in Beijing for the New Year, and they met each other during the New Year.

Now people want to take the land away before they leave.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao was going to study in Wenhua Hall as usual.

Speaking and reading Changyi is much easier than it was on the first day, and Zhu Houzhao is also much more comfortable. Now I just read the Confucian classics and explain the meaning.He didn't understand these things at first, so someone explained it, and it's not bad for literacy.

Because after the prince studied, the courtiers could not stand alone, so no one came to him to talk about the two kings Qi and Yong.

On the side of the cabinet, after re-drafting, it was still rejected: re-draft.

It has been planned until one person comes forward.

Anyway, the emperor has a path in mind, so he is not in a hurry now.

Now let's look at the courtier...

……

It dragged on for another three days.

Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin, "Is there still no movement in the outer court?"

"Return to Your Highness, not yet."

"Then go and provoke." The prince read the book without raising his head, and said calmly: "Find someone to give them an idea. Didn't Cheng Minzheng serve King Yong? Since he can't walk the way of the emperor, can he Can't follow the path of King Yong?"

"Your Highness means..."

"Call Cheng Minzheng to come and find a way to persuade King Yong to withdraw the begging note."

All roads lead to Rome, the thinking must be active, the action must be quick, isn't it the time for the "Day of the Dead"?

I don't know what these ministers are procrastinating, aren't they afraid that the emperor will really agree, and aren't they worried about the group of people who lost their land?
Don't make it to the end that Yang Ting and the fourth-rank official have all the papers, and these great scholars in the court are still convincing themselves by making decisions and then acting.

In fact, the crown prince came up with this method at will, but Liu Jin also felt hurt after hearing it.

In this way, Cheng Minzheng will be forced to become an ant on a hot pot.In the end, it is very easy to be wrong on both sides.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it is better not to offend the crown prince.

This idea is not so difficult, just find someone to spread the meaning. Now that King Yong is still in the capital, Cheng Minzheng, who once served King Yong, is his teacher. What's wrong with the last sentence?
The emperor can persuade, but King Yong can't?
As for King Qi, he had become a feudal clan in the eighth year of Hongzhi, which was too far away.But solving one is one.

So when the voices from outside gradually increased,
Cheng Minzheng also felt that something was wrong. He was probably a person with good intuition. When he found Wu Kuan, he directly expressed his doubts, "In the past, how could there be such... such a detrimental scheme in the imperial court? And I didn't even talk to Wu Kuan in Beijing. People make enemies."

He was actually implying that the crown prince should be behind this matter.

But Wu Kuan didn't just listen to him, he was the one who 'fighted' with the prince many times,
"If it's what you guessed by Keqin, then why did His Highness do this? Keqin, don't pretend."

The prince will never do things without reason.

It's not just to get revenge on Cheng Minzheng, it's an ordinary person's reason, but it's definitely not a reason that can only be found in the East Palace.

Because it is not on the stage.

Wu Kuan analyzed one thing after another, and asked: "The East Palace and His Majesty are one. If His Majesty disagrees, the East Palace will provoke people to turn against His Majesty? I'm afraid it would be easier to just say it directly?"

The two old men looked at each other and confirmed each other's eyes.

Cheng Minzheng: "So, it shouldn't be the East Palace."

"Actually, it doesn't matter who it is." Wu Kuan was already sweating for Cheng Minzheng. "Now that there are such voices coming out, if you don't persuade King Yong, you will definitely criticize him. If you can't persuade King Yong, then It is also because you are not a good teacher and cannot teach good students, if you go and persuade King Yong... His Majesty may not be happy."

Because the emperor now obviously wants to agree to King Yong's request.

It’s fine if you civil servants resist the edict and don’t obey it, just give me a bottom line, right?

So Liu Jin felt that this was a pure harm.

When Cheng Minzheng heard it, he was naturally the first and the second.

"In this way, I can only remonstrate with His Majesty."

Highly recommended, if you agree, then everyone will be happy.If he did not agree, he, Cheng Minzheng, was at least a direct minister.

That being the case, Cheng Minzheng made up his mind, and suddenly said seriously: "Originally, it was the duty of a courtier to give advice, but now Mr. Liu Ge wants to find a way out for the people of the world, so I should follow and have a duty to do so!"

　Thanks to fisher Man Yufu for the reward, and thanks to teacher Tommi for the reward!
