Many people are dissatisfied with the current Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period had entered a period of decline.

Jiajing took the vassal king as the center, and in the early years he worked hard to govern and made great achievements.

But later on, he devoted himself to cultivating mysticism, spent extravagantly on elixirs and supplements, and even allowed Yan Song and his son to do whatever they wanted.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was also on the verge of collapse.

In the northwest, Anda Khan violated the ban for many years and almost reached the capital.

However, the imperial court could only settle the matter and open a mutual market to meet Anda Khan’s request.

It is much better than the coins given to foreigners during the Song Dynasty, but it is not satisfactory either.

After all, our Ming Dynasty “does not claim vassal status, pay tribute, cede territory, or pay indemnities. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country…”

Okay, that’s pure bragging.

During the Tumu Fortress Incident, the Ming Dynasty directly created a man named Men Tianzi, who could be regarded as a sleeping dragon and a phoenix with Song Huizong. The reputation of the Ming Dynasty had already plummeted.

The majesty that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di exerted back then has long since disappeared on today’s grasslands.

In the south, the Japanese pirate rebellion intensified.

There was even an anecdote about fifty Japanese pirates roaming the southeast and attacking the gates of Jinling City.

It was similar to the later Tianli Sect of the Qing Dynasty that invaded the Forbidden City.

It can also be regarded as a sleeping dragon and a phoenix chick.

Moreover, land annexation was becoming more and more serious, people were living in poverty, and the court could not collect much money. It was so strapped that it was unable to accomplish anything major.

Smart people were very disappointed with the Ming Dynasty, and they were even more disappointed with Emperor Jiajing.

It’s just that people don’t dare to say it.

Later, there was Hai Rui, who dared to speak out and remonstrate. He published a book called “Public Security Shu”, in which he scolded Emperor Jiajing bloody. He even said, “It has been a long time since the people of the world have been honest.” Everything is clean, but the people have no wealth left.”

The diction is sharp and the complaints are spot on, and it directly breaks the guard of Emperor Jiajing.

However, Emperor Jiajing had turned into powder and was buried in the garden of Wanshou Palace.

The current Emperor Jiajing is a fake one by Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao directly reformed in order to collect resources to build a portal.

There is now the vigorous reform of Zhang Juzheng.

“The examination will be done according to the law, and the officials will be assessed to prevent the corpses from being left alone and the proliferation of people who are derelict in their duties!”

“Measure the land, measure the land across the country, so that the court can obtain reliable first-hand data so that it can better collect taxes.”

“One whip method converts miscellaneous taxes into acres of land, simplifies taxes, pays taxes in silver, reduces the court’s tax collection costs, and strengthens the court’s ability to collect taxes.”

“Gagging law! Forbidden academies in the world. Private academies are not allowed to be opened unless officially allowed!”

“Abolish the vassals, reduce the treatment of the vassal kings, allow the clan members to work independently, and reduce the burden on the court.”

“Recruitment method. In view of the fact that the guard system is no longer useful and it is difficult for military households to fight, we need to expand the recruitment system and organize and train new armies.”

“As for the original military households, they will allocate land, distribute silver, and gradually disband and disband…”

Any one of these reform measures will shock the world.

But now, the emperor’s will was issued, and Zhang Juzheng personally took charge of the execution. He actually announced it all to the world and started to carry out it.

The entire Ming Dynasty felt a little shock from the emperor and Zhang Juzheng.

Many people who were looking forward to reform were dumbfounded.

Everyone is looking forward to reform, but this change is too drastic.

This is crazy!

“Crazy, the court is simply crazy!”

“Yes, any one of these reform measures will shock the world. It is simply crazy to enact so many of them at the same time!”

“A general is not a country. This reminds me of Wang Anshi’s old story. Zhang Juzheng is the Ming Dynasty version of Wang Anshi!”

“Damn it, Wang Anshi’s reform directly wiped out the Northern Song Dynasty. Is Zhang Juzheng trying to wipe out the Ming Dynasty as well?”

“Zhang Juzheng is a treacherous minister who has bewitched the Holy One. This is going to bring disaster to the country and the people!”

Many scholars strongly opposed it.

Even the younger scholars felt that Zhang Juzheng was acting too hastily and was trying to accomplish things that took ten years to accomplish overnight.

Being so hasty will definitely make many originally good policies become like Wang Anshi’s Green Seed Law, an evil method that brings chaos to the country.

Many sensible scholars asserted:

“Scholars in the world will definitely not support Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng is so eager to shoot himself in the foot!”

“I see that Zhang Juzheng can’t complete any of these reform measures. Even if the emperor supports him, it will be useless. The people below are doing it in disguise, but he can still press the cow’s head to drink water?”

“Haha, Zhang Taiyue is also a person with a bright future. If he does this, not only will he be unable to accomplish anything, but his reputation will be ruined.”

In the eyes of these people, only scholars could work in the Ming Dynasty

.

Zhang Juzheng’s reforms were too hasty and violated the interests of many scholars.

If the time is extended to a ten-year period, and the emperor continues to support him and he communicates with the scholars, it is still possible to accomplish several feats.

But now that he is in such a hurry, there are very few scholars who support him.

Without the support of widespread scholars, the reform will inevitably fail.

He can’t let the illiterate Stinky Qiu Ba help Zhang Taiyue govern the country, right?

But what these people never expected was that Jiang Hao would trick Zhang Juzheng, so Zhang Juzheng started the prelude to the reform – measuring the land.

“Oh my God, Zhang Juzheng got a bunch of strange officials from nowhere and started to inventory the land around the capital!”

“Can it be done?”

“It’s too strong. All the land that Zhou Yuanwai had hidden was discovered. The Zhou family was ransacked because they resisted the king’s law!”

“Mean Li’s wife resisted the measurement of the land and instigated the villagers to cause trouble. She was immediately exposed as a bunch of dirty information about bullying men and women, and was executed by Zhang Taiyue!”

“These people under Zhang Juzheng are very good at measuring, and their mathematical abilities are also outstanding. Their audits are terrible. Many people in the capital have fallen into disgrace because of this!”

“Hahaha, Zhang Juzheng is finished! Zhang Juzheng actually went to check the land of the British Duke. Can the land of the British Duke be checked?”

“Oh my God, Zhang Juzheng really dares to investigate the British Duke. The British Duke is in charge of the capital camp. How dare Zhang Juzheng?”

“The British male jumped over the wall and sent an assassin to kill Zhang Juzheng. The strange officials around Zhang Juzheng were invulnerable and captured the assassin. The assassin inexplicably betrayed the British male!”

“The emperor was furious and sent the British Duke to prison, tortured him severely, and raided the British Duke’s mansion. The Duke and his family were destroyed.”

“No one dares to confront Zhang Juzheng anymore!”

“Zhang Juzheng is so fierce. He actually measured the land around the capital in just five days. Oh my god! At this rate, Zhang Juzheng can complete the measurement of the Ming Dynasty’s land in three months. !”

Amid the exclamations of public opinion, Zhang Juzheng led 10,000 robot civil servants to kill gods when gods blocked them, and Buddha when they blocked Buddhas.

A blood sacrifice was made to a duke, and the land in the capital and the surrounding province was discovered.
