Chapter 721 The emperor’s will is not omnipotent
Some of these dogfights in the court were bloody and open fire, while others were gentle and gentle, with undercurrents surging. There was no need to be so violent, or even slanderous words in the emperor's ears. All it took was to spread a specious rumor. It could destroy the harmonious relationship that the emperor and Ningyuan Hou had carefully managed for thirteen years.
Rumors are terrible.
Let the rumor that "Marquis Ningyuan took advantage of the Japanese invaders to invade North Korea and resisted His Majesty to prevent the imperial court from collecting land taxes in Liaodong" spread, no matter what the final outcome of the Ming Dynasty's war to quell the Japanese, Li Chengliang was the loser, and it seemed that Come on, it is indeed Li Chengliang who can do it.
Even if there is no disturbance in the court, there will be uproar on the ground in Liaodong, from Li Chengliang's servants, to the guest soldiers, to the soldiers at the military garrison, to the officials in Liaodong, to the people who enter Liao to reclaim wasteland. The people who were looking for a way out had some thoughts in their hearts.
After all, it was Marshal Li who did it first!
Li Chengliang seemed to have many choices, but in fact there was only one way to go, and that was to completely transform Liaodong into a warlord and become a Liaodong warlord who respected the invaders and supported the troops, because raising the invaders and supporting the soldiers with self-respect was like a run on the ministers of the court. Once we have doubts in our hearts, the seeds will surely take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit, and the mutual distrust will become a nightmare for the court and the local government.
The country has lost its great trust, and people's hearts are filled with doubts.
Li Chengliang's return to Liaodong this time is very, very dangerous for Li Chengliang and the Ningyuan Houfu, because Li Chengliang had completely delegated power before and carried out a comprehensive handover of the military affairs in Liaodong. Now, he has to come back for the war.
Li Chengliang said that the emperor was powerful because the emperor was really powerful. He had already mastered these cheap scholars and told Li Chengliang directly that the Ming Emperor could accept Li Chengliang becoming a warlord.
But we can't replace Li's Korean family with Li in Liaodong. When the time comes, we can compile a few genealogies for the Korean ancestors and replace them with one family. Li Chengliang really has to go down the road of supporting the invaders and supporting the soldiers to respect themselves. North Korea is coming.
Since ancient times, the Korean Peninsula has not posed an actual threat to the Central Plains regime, because this area of food production is destined not to become the land of Longxing.
The granary may not necessarily be the land of Longxing, but the land of Longxing must be the granary.
"You scholars, can you use those crooked brains on Japanese pirates? Why are you trying to hit an old man like me! Damn it, just die." Li Chengliang leaned on the back of his chair and said with lingering fear: " If Your Majesty hadn't been smart since he was a child and had lied to me for so many years with these scoundrels, I would have been scolded for hundreds of years even if I died!"
"What a bad luck!"
Li Chengliang is a martial artist. He has become a marquis over the years and has become a bit more refined. He rarely uses foul language, but now, he has really broken his guard.
After the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty visited the capital in the south, Zhang Juzheng stood up to the emperor and refuted the imperial edict twice. Because both sides were very insistent, the emperor finally gave cold treatment to the lowly Confucian who was detained by King Zhu Yili of Lu, and locked him up without dealing with him.
Zhang Juzheng has become a little extreme. In his opinion, what is more important is absolute and limited freedom, and it is more important to shut up these voluptuous and talkative scholars forever.
Zhang Juzheng's trend toward conservative extremes was very obvious, especially for the so-called smooth flow of speech. He began to resist or even resent it, because Zhang Juzheng saw the danger.
Li Chengliang, who was almost caught in the fire by rumors, is a perfect example.
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty sometimes couldn't understand why Liaodong became the burial place of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after the Wanli War to Aid Korea, the warlordization in Liaodong was as unstoppable as rocks rolling down a cliff. It eventually smashed the entire Ming Dynasty to pieces. Everyone in Liaodong called themselves Liao people, and they even kept calling themselves Liao people. They clamored for the Liao people to rule the Liao Dynasty. Throughout the Wanli War to aid the DPRK, the Wanli Emperor and the court officials showed extreme distrust in entering the DPRK and would rather listen to the sophistry of the Korean King Li Huo. Nor was he willing to have even a shred of trust in the soldiers who entered the court to fight to the death.
These rumors spread by cheap Confucians are very lethal and extremely harmful.
"This is what a humble scholar is like. If you ask him to do something, he can't do anything. But if you ask him to do bad things, he will be better than anyone else." Hou Yuzhao drank a cup of tea leisurely. He was incompatible with the humble scholar. It’s retrograde, from beginning to end.
"I have to show some attitude towards the establishment of the Chief Secretary in Liaodong, so that the rumors will stop themselves." Li Chengliang thought for a long time and decided to find a way out for himself. Li Chengliang should be responsible for the separation of political, legal and military powers.
Li Chengliang left Liaodong just to promote the establishment of a province in Liaodong. Now that he is back, he must win the battles that need to be won and complete the things that need to be done.
"It's not easy." Hou Yuzhao sighed and said: "In the first month of the fourth year of Hongwu, there were 1,239 prefectures and counties in the world, and 5,488 officials. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Yunnan was settled, and there were 24,683 internal and external civil and military officials. This does not include officials and government servants. If there are officials, there will be officials, and if there are officials, there will be servants.”
"In the fourth year of Zhengde, there were 24,000 civil servants, 28,000 military officers, and 168,000 civil servants. The number of civil servants was seven times that of civilian officials, and the number of government officials was seven times that of civil servants."
"Even if we don't count the government officials, firemen, watchmen, inspections, etc., we only count the civil servants. If there are three government offices in one place, we need 1,800 officials and 13,000 officials. Even if Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, we need If there are not so many civil servants, I will cut them in half for you, 900 civil servants and 7,000 civil servants.”
"Old Li, where did you find so many scholars?"
Li Chengliang's Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was not the main obstacle to the imperial court's plan to establish a province in Liaodong. The lack of talents was the real attraction.
The reality is even crueler, and it must not be cut in half as Hou Yuzhao said. The local government offices in the Ming Dynasty are mainly composed of local snakes. The third-in-command bookkeeper in the county is usually a local gentry. Guizhou is a typical example because there is a lack of local government officials. Scholars could only appoint hereditary local officials to control the country.
"So many?" Li Chengliang said blankly.
Hou Yuzhao nodded and said: "The chief clerk, the history officer, the third shift leader, the sixth house, the inspection department, the dam, the post warehouse, the river station, the delivery office, the approval office, the iron smelting office, the tax department, the county Xuejiaoyu, Sengdaosi, Huimin Pharmacy, that’s all, not counting the staff in charge of the master.”
"So, the most important thing right now is to clear up wasteland. Only when we have food and enough food can we have enough food to hire scholars to teach. Only then will we have these things gradually."
There are usually seven staff members under the supervision of a master. The functions of these seven staff are to send and receive official documents, pre-draft (writing), waiting (reviewing and signing), class library (poems, books, rituals and music), duty (arranging duty), Attendants (attending the county magistrate), accounting (county magistrate accountants), etc., are already the most streamlined. If it is a densely populated and very prosperous Shangxian County, there will be three divisions in charge of staff alone. Come, the number of staff under the master is almost the same as that of Liu Fang.
There are not so many scholars in Liaodong, but those who are literate have been found by Hou Yuzhao, given simple training in arithmetic, and started to work immediately.
"There is another reason. If you can work as a scholar in the hinterland, who would want to come to Liaodong to eat in the snow? Scholars have thin skin and tender meat, and they have no strength to tie a chicken. If they can stay in Shanhaiguan, they will never leave Shanhaiguan." Hou Yuzhao talked about it. The problem of scholar migration, the inflow and loss of talent.
Jiayuguan was established two hundred years ago. Although Gansu is a little poorer, there is still an autumn festival every year. There are Jinshi, Juren, scholars, and students. In the past, the place was not big enough. It was the Xingdusi of Shaanxi. Now that the Western Region has been reopened, the Ming Dynasty has already reached out. Guanxi Qiwei is still used by people in Gansu.
Suiyuan can still rely on support from Shaanxi and Shanxi, both of which are poor places, but Hetao is a bit richer.
But Liaodong is very close to the capital, and Shanhaiguan is like a one-way valve. Scholars trained in Liaodong also have to go to Shanhaiguan. Scholars in Shanhaiguan are unwilling to come to Liaodong.
No one is the resistance of reality.
"In the final analysis, we still have to rely on the military garrison and the schools of the garrison to cultivate scholars belonging to Liaodong to completely solve this problem. There will always be scholars who are willing to stay in this poor and remote place and build this black land." Hou Yuzhao couldn't help but think of it. In the early years of the Republic of China, Emperor Taizu Gao built military garrison camps and built Confucian schools everywhere.
During the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, 30% of the Jinshi scholars in Guozuo came from military households.
Confucian scholar-bureaucrats always shout: 'The teachings of saints are universal', 'There is no distinction between teachings', 'Confucian education', 'Change customs', but how can there be any scholar-bureaucrats in these poor and remote areas? As soon as it came to practice, Confucian scholars began to shout, "People on the border cannot be taught, so there is no need to set up schools."
Hou Yuzhao said with some waning interest: "Hey, the border fortress in the northeastern part of Liaoning is extremely poor and barren. There are few Confucian scholars. There are few people to write notes when they are old. Most of the military attache's children are illiterate and have no knowledge. In addition to being in chaos, they want to find ways. It is very difficult to find knowledgeable people, there are no teachers, fewer books, and incomplete scriptures. How can Liaodong be defended for a long time? ”
Hou Yuzhao came to Liaodong in the second year of Wanli, and it was already the thirteenth year after New Year's Eve. He took root here. After a long time, he was very confused. This confusion was even a little desperate. He couldn't I know, but I really don’t know the future of Liaodong and where to go.
The problem he mentioned is the gravity of reality. The ideal is always so grand, but the reality is so cruel.
Li Chengliang said rather dissatisfied: "Aren't you just a scholar? Aren't you just taking root in Liaodong, and you have been taking root for twelve years? I, Liaodong, can't be said to have everything, and it is also rich in products. Why are there no scholars willing to come? ! ”
"I'll just take it as old Li praising me." Hou Yuzhao laughed twice and shook his head. He did not refute, but Li Chengliang knew very well that what he said was nonsense. For officials like Hou Yuzhao, the Ming Dynasty also How many are there?
Look at Wu Shanyan, the governor of Zhejiang. In such a wealthy place in Zhejiang, he was able to force Zhejiang Jiuying into mutiny.
"Your Majesty, you can send the supervisors of the Imperial College and the failed candidates to Liaodong. There are not many others in the Ming Dynasty, and there are quite a few poor and desperate scholars!" Ma Lin put forward his own opinion.
Li Chengliang looked at Ma Lin and then at his son Li Rusong. These are all children from the capital camp. They are used to the emperor's omnipotence. Therefore, when encountering difficulties, the first thing they think of is: Your Majesty. A decree can solve all problems.
Li Chengliang exhaled, shook his head and said: "It has been more than seven years since your Majesty sent your countrymen to Liao with food and clothes. Those who entered Liao took as little as one month and as long as half a year. Many of them abandoned Liao and left." , although the school is established, there may be a shortage of instructors, and the school is still in name only.”
The emperor's will is not omnipotent.
"I received your majesty's preferential treatment but didn't do my job attentively. It is a matter of loyalty to the emperor to eat the emperor's salary! Such a rebel should be punished!" Li Rusong's expression changed and he said sternly.
"Wouldn't it mean that no one will come? When we are not punished, there are still people who are willing to come to Liaodong to try. Now that you are shouting and killing, who will come? Exiled here, with resentment in his heart, he will definitely be in secret with those barbarians. Qu, it's also a big disaster." Hou Yuzhao looked at Li Rusong and answered this question.
"I'm not good at political affairs." Li Rusong was dumbfounded. He was really not good at these political affairs. Thinking about these problems, it would be better to let him kill Japanese pirates.
The sharp soldiers in the Ming Dynasty's capital camp are all young master soldiers. This is the evaluation of the sharp soldiers in the Liaodong army. This is not a humiliation, but a kind of envy.
In addition to being envious of the armaments, supplies, and military pay standards of the young masters of Beijing Camp, the most important thing is that the young master soldiers do not need to think about so many messy things, they only need to think about how to defeat the enemy.
Liaodong is still under substantial military control. These generals in Liaodong often not only consider winning, but also consider how to govern the area under their jurisdiction to prevent turmoil. It is normal to have military, financial and legal control.
Li Chengliang leaned forward, patted his son's arm, and said with a smile: "You don't have to think about it. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, you can just think about fighting. Your Majesty has treated Liaodong particularly well. We Jilin and Liaodong Chidao You can get there directly! This is a treatment that even Nanya doesn’t have!”
"What I said to Lao Zhao is that Liaodong is good enough, and we all hope it will be better."
Li Chengliang didn't want to go to North Korea to be a guard, so why would he have to endure that hardship? After this battle, he would return to the capital. As a military general, he had done everything he could, and left the rest to the scholars!
"In this battle, you must listen to His Majesty. Remember not to advance rashly, and don't fight for those Koreans. If you fight, you must fight for Your Majesty. None of those North Korean carnivores are human beings, and they are not worthy."
< br>
"When you arrived at Jiulian City, you took over Yizhou in a hurry. I sent an engineer battalion to build the port." Li Chengliang talked about entering the North Korea to fight, and told his son to come back safely, and he thoughtfully gave him Damn advice.
Looking at His Majesty's imperial edict, the throne of the King of Joseon was directly deprived of his throne, and the successor was still called Gwanghae Jun. The meaning was very clear. The throne of the King of Joseon was ended with Li He.
Bypassing the North Korean carnivores and directly occupying Yiju would reduce the pressure on the Ming Dynasty's logistical supply. Sea transportation is much cheaper than land transportation. Chidao cannot be repaired for three to five years, but the port only takes a few months.
In Li Chengliang's eyes, the carnivores in North Korea are just a bunch of insects. Even if these carnivores open the port of Yiju for money and making money, the Ming Dynasty's elite soldiers and supplies can reach North Korea by sea. In this way, There is no need to transport goods by land from Liaoyang and Lushun to Jiuliancheng. Land transportation is extremely expensive. Seventy thousand shi of grain and grass will cost 210,000 shi in transportation losses, but shipping by sea will only cost less than 10,000 shi.
"The Japanese pirates have taken over Seoul, and these bastards from North Korea are still shouting nonsense about bad people and a declining world. They refuse to open up Uiju, and they even come to me to demand luck. Give them food, they are ugly, but they think they are pretty!" Li Chengliang got angry when he talked about this.
The North Korean envoy went to Liaoyang and asked Li Chengliang to send troops and Li Chengliang to deliver food. He also insisted on the issue of Yizhou Port at the mouth of the Yalu River and refused to do so.
"Your Majesty said, beware of North Korean carnivores collaborating with Japanese pirates." Li Rusong remembered His Majesty's instructions before leaving.
"Listen to His Majesty and keep an eye on these idiots. Don't let them betray you without knowing it." Li Chengliang agreed deeply.
Li Rusong frowned and said, "Can we really capture Yizhou directly?"
"Don't worry, it's none of your business. When the time comes, I will let the soldiers from Jiuliancheng enter Yizhou first. If those Korean bastards dare to resist, I will kill them all. If they can't be defeated, you can enter the city again. ”
"Don't these mean scholars in the capital say that I am the leader of the army? I am the leader of the army!" Li Chengliang couldn't do much to help Wang Hua Liaodong, so he changed his approach. He planned to join the war in the dynasty. Please do your best and do what a military leader should do.
The Ming Emperor never interfered in the specific command of the Liaodong army, which gave Li Chengliang great autonomy.
Qi Jiguang has Qi Jiguang's gentleman's style of play, and Li Chengliang has Li Chengliang's rogue style of play. He fights without declaring, takes without suing, and takes Yizhou first.
Your Majesty is frugal, and if you can save some real money, silver, food and grass for the court, you will please Your Majesty.
It didn't matter that some ministers in the court impeached him, Li Chengliang, for acting privately. He, Li Chengliang, admitted the crime and returned to Beijing to receive (enjoy) the crime (blessing) after the war.
"Old Li, what's the difference between you and raping a woman? You didn't even ask if North Korea would agree to it?" Hou Yuzhao was convinced by Li Chengliang and thought about these things all day long.
"If you don't agree, can you still stop me?" Li Chengliang said without caring at all.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the fourteenth year of Wanli, the capital was still immersed in the joy of the New Year. For what happened far away in North Korea, the capital, where people were singing and dancing, did not have much sympathy. The lights of Aoshan were like people's days, It’s getting more prosperous year after year.
The diligent Emperor Ming received more reports.
"Marquis Ningyuan wanted to take Yizhou without telling him. I think that although Marquis Ningyuan's behavior cannot be called a gentleman, he is definitely not a villain. It is always to drive the Japanese pirates into the sea faster." Zhu Yijun took Li Chengliang's memorial newspaper, asking Qi Jiguang what he thought of the surprise attack on Yizhou.
Qi Jiguang stood in front of the Kanyu map, looked at it carefully for a long time and said: "I think it is good, but I am afraid that Marquis Ningyuan will be scolded again."
It would be best to capture Yizhou. Only if Ming Dynasty has control of the sea can it advance and retreat in a more controlled manner.
Li Chengliang's idea of taking Yizhou was actually to find a way to win Te Niang's vote, but this idea coincided with the Ming Dynasty's step-by-step approach and taking every inch. The war in Korea needed a fulcrum, and this fulcrum was Yizhou.
"How many troops will Marquis Ningyuan use to attack Yizhou? Jiuliancheng only has 2,000 troops." Qi Jiguang asked doubtfully.
"One thousand." Zhu Yijun replied quickly.
"Is it enough?"
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Marquis Ningyuan thinks it is enough."
"Ning Yuanhou thinks it's enough, then it's enough." Qi Jiguang thought for a while and didn't say much. The Ming Dynasty's cavalry camp was suppressing the formation, so there would be no big problems.
There are still more than twenty days left for the Ming Dynasty cavalry camp to travel from Liaoyang to Jiulian City at the mouth of the Yalu River. When the cavalry camp arrives, not to mention a thousand Liaodong soldiers, there will be a hundred Liaodong soldiers to capture Yizhou and Yizhou defenders. If the army wants to take action, it must also weigh the severity.
This is what Li Rusong said, bypassing the meat-eaters like the Korean royal family and ministers, and let Ming Dynasty act on its own.
Zhu Yijun originally planned to give Li Chengliang the power to act cheaply. Zhu Yijun only gave this power to Yin Zhengmao. Even Ling Yunyi did not have such great authority in Guangdong, Guangdong, Shandong, and Henan, but Zhang Juzheng stopped him in the end. If he was really beaten into custody Kou's self-respecting bad battle will not be given too late. The imperial court will always grab a few cards. This expedient act is a matter of justice and honor.
"Your Majesty, Henan has completed the census of Dingkou. In the thirteenth year of Wanli, in addition to Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Suiyuan, the Ming Dynasty has completed the census of Dingkou in 13 provinces." Zhang Juzheng reported another important work of the Ming Dynasty. , Census of Dingkou, Zhang Juzheng submitted a memorial.
Zhu Yuanzhang had two treasures in governing the country, one was called the Fish Scale Book, which was the land and land book, and the other was called the Tax Book, which was the population book.
These two treasures gradually became ineffective over the past two hundred years. The clearing began in the first year of Wanli and was initially completed in the ninth year of Wanli. In the eleventh year of Wanli, Henan finally completed the clearing in the hands of the murderous Ling Yunyi.
In the eleventh year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun got the first treasure, the fish scale book. Now, Zhang Juzheng handed over the second treasure, the yellow book, to His Majesty.
The compilation of the first yellow book of taxes and levies was completed in the 26th year of Hongwu. It was completed twelve years later than the 14th year of Hongwu. This was because there was a lot of movement and migration during the Hongwu period, which caused difficulties in the compilation of the yellow book. Great trouble.
In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had 10.65 million households and a population of 60.54 million.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, everything was renewed. Hu Yuan ruled roughly for a hundred years. Coupled with the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the population began to recover after the initial settlement of Hongwu. Sixty million people were really not that small.
"At the end of the twelfth year of Wanli, Da Situ told me that the Ming Dynasty had 10.62 million households and 60.69 million people." Zhu Yijun took the memorial presented by Zhang Juzheng, exhaled and told a joke.
"It's a serious misrepresentation. It's just that the census was not completed and the old practice was followed." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said.
In the grand plan at the end of the twelfth year of Wanli, the census was not completed and the Yellow Register was not updated. In two hundred years, the number of households in the Ming Dynasty decreased by 30,000, and the population increased by 150,000.
The population of the Ming Dynasty has been insanely stable for two hundred years. Everyone knows that this data is distorted, everyone knows that this is a confusing account, but no one has made the effort to investigate this matter.
In fact, it is very simple. The Ming Dynasty Fish Scale Book and Yellow Book were copied directly from the last time, and they did not even bother to add or subtract. For example, Zhang Xueyan told the emperor: From the 11th year of Jiajing to the 9th year of Wanli, Yuzhou The number of households is 12,277 and the population is 89,470. In the past fifty years, the local population data of Yuzhou has not changed at all.
Not even bothering to fool around.
Now, the Wanli Early Years Cabinet, headed by Zhang Juzheng, led the courtiers to conduct a comprehensive survey of this confusing account.
At the end of the thirteenth year of Wanli, the final audit was completed.
"At the end of the thirteenth year of Wanli, Da Situ and Yuan Fu now told me that there were 21.26 million households in the Ming Dynasty and more than 133.67 million people." Zhu Yijun finally figured out an unresolved question in history, how many people there were in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
130 million, which is 10 million more than the previous estimate of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development seriously underestimated the population of Henan, Huguang, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
"Your Majesty, I discovered something very interesting when I was conducting a census of Dingkou. All of our bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty are extremely capable, and they are all equal-account immortals!"
"For example, Dongchang Prefecture, in the yellow roll of the 26th year of Hongwu, there were 48,022 households, 110,192 households, and 327 zero households. In the ninth year of Wanli, there were 288,135 households, 662,473 households in the yellow roll of Dongchang Prefecture. , in two hundred years, the number of households increased six times.”
"But when the household registration increased six times, when it arrived at the provincial chief secretary, it immediately changed back to its previous appearance."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Sir, what you are saying is that our local prefecture and county officials are very clear about how many acres and acres there are in their jurisdiction?"
"Of course, in terms of population, the county is increasing, the government is increasing, but the imperial yellow list is not increasing. It is really a wonder in the world." After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he laughed in anger.
There is another case here. When Wang Yi'e was conducting a census in Dingkou, Shandong, he worked hard for more than a year to find out. He was exhausted and overwhelmed. Later, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture was investigated by Hai Rui for corruption. .
During the process of questioning the Dongchang Prefecture, he got a yellow book from the private accountant of the Dongchang Prefecture. Wang Yi'e realized that his work was in vain, and the prefects of various prefectures in Shandong looked at their immediate superiors. Working in vain is like watching a joke.
Wang Yi'e almost turned into Ling Yunyi and raised the butcher's knife.
The prefects knew exactly how many acres and how many people there were in their jurisdictions, but Immortal Ping Zhang was so miraculous that the number of acres and population in a province remained stable for two hundred years.
"Actually, the Chief Secretary was not responsible for labor, four shortfalls in silver, and the land tax was just getting by." Zhang Juzheng analyzed the reasons.
"The invalidation of the fish scale book and the yellow book actually turned into Hu Yuan's tax package system." Zhu Yijun looked extremely ugly. He only felt it when he got the fish scale book. When he got the yellow book again, Zhu Yijun realized that this gang The scholar-bureaucrats really turned the Ming Dynasty into a tax package system!
"That's still different." Zhang Juzheng promptly corrected His Majesty's statement. There is still a long way to go before the tax farming system. The tax farming system is an advance payment. After paying the money to the court, the tax farmer will be charged how much compensation in the tax farming territory. Whether you make money or not depends on your own ability. To put it simply, it is robbery.
The fish scale books and yellow books of the Ming Dynasty still have a certain effect of keeping the truth, and local officials cannot do whatever they want.
"Starting from Nanya Jiangzuo and Jiangyou, we implemented a whipping method. First of all, according to the fish scale book and the yellow book, the dings of each prefecture, prefecture and county were allocated to the acres. The taxes and servitude of each county and prefecture were measured according to the land. , All the money will be collected, the officials will be divided, and the servants will be hired to deal with it. "Zhu Yijun issued an imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, Zhejiang also has the conditions and foundation." Zhang Juzheng reminded His Majesty that Zhejiang is at the forefront of the New Deal and is in full swing to restore farmland. Since it is necessary to do it, it will be better if we do it together.
Zhu Yijun said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Zhejiang, I think it's better to go through the trouble of returning the land first. It's not enough to bother the people too much. I plan to transfer Hou Yuzhao to Zhejiang. Shen Shixing is a bit busy alone."
"When Marquis Yu Zhao leaves, we will do another weaving (whip) method."
