"The administration of officials in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was corrupt, land annexation was serious, and all kinds of management were extremely rough.
acres of land and population unknown.
So much so that even the court could not get a good basis for collecting taxes.
This matter has troubled us for a long time.
Therefore, we are preparing to clear the land nationwide next.
Try to clear out all the land in the country within two years, make a booklet and store it.
It might as well let us take a good look at my Ming Dynasty’s bottom.
Do you know how many people, how much land we have in Ming Dynasty, and how much land we can mobilize?
The land is good land or bad land.
Master these situations in detail.
This is also convenient, we can handle government affairs and control the country. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers and expressed his decision.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, these courtiers, except for a few people who had got the news before, all heard the news.
Most of the others seemed very shocked!
In fact, the news Zhu Yuanzhang said was too unexpected.
Moreover, the interests involved are really too many!
Who among them has no relatives, friends, or interests?
At this time, they suddenly received such news. It is normal for them to react like this
Does this emperor not want to die?
This is really not about martial ethics!
Suddenly something like this is going to happen!
Does he know what he is talking about at this time?
Do you know how involved this matter is?
It will be implemented nationwide all at once.
This involves too much!
Many courtiers exchanged glances with each other.
Many people had something to say, but no one spoke, they were all silent.
After a while of this, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Liu Sanwu finally couldn't help but speak:
"Your Majesty, I...I think something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu and asked.
Just saying one sentence caused Liu Sanwu's pressure to increase sharply.
Then he secretly gritted his teeth and suppressed some panic in his heart.
Then he said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too big and involves many things.
If you act rashly, it will definitely make many people panic.
Although there are some problems with local control, overall, it is not as chaotic as His Majesty said.
The control of local areas is still far greater than that of the Yuan Dynasty.
Such as household posts.
According to this, it is okay to govern the country..."
After hearing what Liu Sanwu said, some people immediately stood up and agreed with Liu Sanwu's point of view.
He said that Liu Sanwu was right.
They were all here, and they began to praise the usefulness of this household post that Liu Sanwu said.
The household post that Liu Sanwu mentioned was something that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to produce in the third year of Hongwu.
It recorded in great detail how many people were in the family, where they lived, and other things.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with this.
If he was satisfied with the household quota system, he would never clear out his land at this time.
“The household registration system is too rough.
Everything recorded above is not detailed.
Just let people voluntarily fill in the number of people in the family and the number of acres of land.
The records are too general, and there is no mention of whether these lands are good or bad.
Is it a hillside or a irrigated field?
It's really not feasible to rule based on this.
Now it’s me, Ming Dynasty, not Meng Yuan!
Don't act like this anymore! ”
When he was doing the household registration, Zhu Yuanzhang had not thought of clearing the land directly in one step.
But at that time, as soon as I mentioned it, there was a big reaction.
Many people are against it.
In addition, various conditions were not mature at that time, and there were still many things to do.
The Ming Dynasty is not stable, and acting too hastily will easily cause a series of changes.
Therefore, after some consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to get a household registration card first.
When everyone heard that the emperor no longer had to clear his father-in-law's land, but only had a household name, they suddenly became less resistant.
Start to cooperate obediently.
Completed the rule of Hutie.
However, the situation is different now.
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not satisfied with the household quota system and wanted to better understand the actual local situation.
This is not only related to governance, but also a more practical matter, which is tax collection.
Today's Ming Dynasty, in addition to collecting land tax, also collects head tax.
Those large families, who don't know how many people there are, all hide their acres of land and the corresponding population.
Under such circumstances, if Zhu Yuanzhang mentions this matter again, I don’t know how many people will want to object!
This is perfectly normal.
After all, this is really cutting meat from them.
Who wants to spit out the benefits that are in your mouth?
Moreover, once the land clearing is completed, these taxes will not have to be paid for one or two years.
But from now on, we will have to pay so much tax.
Therefore, there will be so many people jumping out to oppose it.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, more people stood up.
Start to demonstrate and analyze from various aspects, and find out what is inappropriate in doing so.
I want to try my best to make the emperor give up this idea.
Give up the land.
Originally, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the previous period in the Yuan Dynasty.
The lives of many officials and the families of wealthy businessmen and gentry are already very painful.
There is a lot of lack of freedom.
Wherever there is a local emperor on the ground, as before.
That's true, you can do whatever you want.
As long as the taxes stipulated by the Yuan Dynasty are paid, nothing else matters.
The emperor didn't ask any questions and didn't care at all.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has become the emperor, he has many rules and has tied many chains to them.
It has already made many of them feel uncomfortable.
Now, he wants to clear his father-in-law's land, so he definitely can't agree to this!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat here with a dark face and said nothing.
Listen to everyone's constant debate here.
He was not surprised at all.
But the momentum he showed made more and more people increasingly frightened.
I feel more and more that something bad is going to happen.
I feel that the emperor will definitely push this matter hard.
Get this right.
After all, the emperor today is different from before. The emperor had even deposed the prime minister and Zhongshu Sheng, so he had great power.
Under such circumstances, it would be particularly difficult for the emperor to do such a thing and stop him.
But it's hard to return, so they still have to say some things.
After all, the vital interests of many people are involved this time.
So they continued to argue here, and Zhu Yuanzhang's words became fierce next.
It makes many people despair...
Many people's hearts couldn't help but sink to the bottom.
I feel like there is nothing that can be done about this situation this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely do this with determination!
After becoming aware of Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, many people began to secretly make up their minds and make a decision.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really dared to do this, it would be difficult for him, Zhu Yuanzhang, to end well!
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
This must be screwed up!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang killed many people before this, many people would still be dissatisfied!
Should they object, they should object anyway.
Zhu Yuanzhang wants to get this thing done smoothly, but he is just dreaming!
Up to now, many people may not dare to muster the courage to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang on other matters.
But now, Zhu Yuanzhang has moved too many people, and the interests involved are also too great!
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly paid attention to everyone's reactions and felt the atmosphere.
After listening to the courtiers talk for a while, his tough attitude suddenly changed.
"That's right, this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
The conditions are not yet mature.
There is no corresponding experience.
Then let’s not implement it nationwide.
It will only be implemented in Jiangxi first.
Let’s see what the results will be after implementation there.
If possible, then promote it nationwide.
Take it step by step. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang actually relaxed on this matter at this time and said such words.
Many people who had been prepared to firmly oppose it suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Well, no need to worry now!
As long as the emperor does not implement it throughout the world, it will be fine.
If it's just in one place, then this matter needs to be opposed again.
As a result, many people praised it here.
It is said that the emperor's method is mature and prudent...
In fact, to be honest, many people are not satisfied with this and think it is best not to know the land area.
However, judging from the emperor's performance just now, the emperor was really determined to promote this matter throughout the country.
According to the current emperor's character, it is not impossible for him to do this kind of thing.
Now, the emperor has been asked to make a particularly big concession.
From the nationwide scope, it was reduced to Jiangxi.
It’s already very special and not easy.
Naturally, they want to accept it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the emperor would really be driven into a panic, and he would really have to desperately start clearing the land across the country.
Their resistance would make the emperor uncomfortable, but they themselves would not feel too good either.
No one would take such a step easily unless absolutely necessary.
Moreover, didn’t the emperor also say that only after the implementation is successful in Jiangxi, will these be promoted to the whole country?
If the promotion in Jiangxi fails, then there will be no need to promote it nationwide!
There have always been many rebels in Jiangxi.
There are many mountains in many places, which are perfect for gathering people to rebel.
There are also many officials from Jiangxi.
Moreover, in Jiangxi, in addition to officials, businessmen, gentry, landlords and many other people, there is also an even bigger behemoth, which is Longhu Mountain.
That's the hardest thing to do.
It can be said that the largest landowner in Jiangxi today is Longhu Mountain and the many Taoist temples under its jurisdiction.
It was not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to have a head-on confrontation there.
It is not impossible for them to secretly use some strength in the future.
Come and help those people work together to resist the people sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to clear the land...
Seeing the reactions of these people, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile to himself.
These people all look shrewd.
In fact, many people fell into his trap.
When he first started, what he wanted to do was to implement the issue of land clearing in Jiangxi.
There was no thought at all that the matter of clearing the land would be completed directly across the country.
He knew very well how many difficulties and obstacles there were.
But this does not prevent him from talking about promoting this matter nationwide when he first faces the courtiers.
And they adopted a very determined attitude, making these people think that they would really promote it nationwide from the beginning.
In this way, after some persuasion from them, I made concessions.
Narrow the scope from the whole country to Jiangxi.
They will agree.
And I feel that they have taken a lot of advantage.
What if I didn't say this at the beginning, but told them directly and aboveboard that I was just clearing my land in Jiangxi.
There will inevitably be a lot of people who oppose it, saying this and that.
In the end, I wanted to announce this smoothly, but it was not easy.
He has already understood many of the things about being in power.
It's just a matter of compromise between each other.
Some people will, out of habit, want to bargain with you.
In this case, you might as well put forward an exorbitant condition first, ask for a sky-high price, and then pay back the money.
Thus realizing his true goal.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang has already become very skilled at this skill.
After agreeing to this matter, many courtiers actually sneered secretly in their hearts.
Prepare to see the emperor's jokes.
I feel that it will not be easy for the emperor to accomplish this in the future.
Especially after I heard that the emperor appointed Liu Lian as the chief envoy to Jiangxi, where he would take the lead in the work of transferring land and take charge of the overall situation.
Many people even sneered in their hearts.
I think the emperor's move is indeed a bit stinky.
Although Liu Lian is Liu Bowen's son, he is far behind Liu Bowen.
If it weren't for his father being Liu Bowen, who would know who Liu Lian is?
Therefore, in such a situation, it would be difficult for someone like Liu Lian to take action and complete such a task.
However, when they were thinking this way, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly said something new and made new personnel appointments and removals.
After such news was revealed, many people who were still sneering secretly could no longer laugh anymore.
"Order Lan Yu as the commander-in-chief and lead the two guards of Longxiang to Jiangxi to control all the soldiers and horses in Jiangxi!
Let's help Liu Lian clear his father-in-law's land and fight against thieves! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and made this decision.
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, many people who were originally very happy couldn't laugh anymore.
Were you surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang’s decision?
What does Zhu Yuanzhang want to do? !
What does this guy think?
How dare you do this?
He is really inappropriate!
How dare you send Lan Yu to do this!
Directly dispatched the two guards from the Beijing camp!
These are ten thousand real elite soldiers!
The combat capability is among the best in the entire army!
You can also control all the troops and horses in Jiangxi and fully cooperate with the farming!
Did Zhu Yuanzhang want to rebel? !
