"Tell me more.
Zhu Xu said.
Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Xu and said, "After the statistics of the autumn grain, the additional levy is less than 10,000 stones. ” Liu Shimin took a bowl of fish soup and gently placed it in front of Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu glanced at it, took a sip, his face was expressionless, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
For this matter, he actually predicted that it would be easy to raise taxes on the poor, and there were countless ways to persecute it, and it would be even more difficult for the rich.
There are too many involved, except for the six officials he promoted, the current six officials, the major governors, governors and the army, the rest is only the unformed academy department, and the others are basically the 'forbearance' under the power.
The biggest interest group touched by his reform has always been the official eunuch group, which is too large, and has extended the birth of merchants, landlords, and tentacles in all aspects of the Ming Dynasty through various means, and to some extent, even kidnapped the entire Ming Dynasty, including the imperial power!
Zhu Xu can snatch some power from them through the operation of power, and he can also suppress them from obeying some of his reform plans, but when it comes to their roots, they will never compromise!
The land is their foundation!
Zhu Xu put down the bowl, crossed his hands, and rested his chin on it.
This so-called '900 acres levy' is just a tentative move by him, and he is also wearing the skin of 'Taizu ancestral system', but the huge world, only 10,000 stones are collected, which is very ironic.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he thought for a while before he said, "How is the population of the household department about the acres of land and the bottom line?"
” Fu Changzong said: "Back to the emperor, there is only one approximation, detailed, which needs to be rolled out comprehensively, and I am afraid that there will be no results for a while, at least two or three years." ” Zhu Xujaw, it has only been three years, and a series of major reforms have been carried out one after another, and it is good that Fu Changzong can do this.
His expression moved slightly, thinking about whether it was appropriate to rebuild the list of acres and acres of land now that it was being rolled out and a large-scale census.
Fu Changzong knew Zhu Xu very well, and when he saw his expression changing, he guessed his thoughts, raised his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it's time to take a break." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, his brows furrowed, and said, "Uncle refers to?"
” Fu Changzong knew that Zhu Xu had always seemed very urgent, and he couldn't wait for every reform move, non-stop, and showed no signs of stopping.
It's just that the current situation requires the entire Daming to slow down!
From changing the salt policy, dismissing the cabinet, banning the king, reforming the military system, reforming the political system, clearing Donglin, and then overturning the army, suppressing the Jiangnan Shilin group, etc., this series of things not only takes time for the imperial court to digest slowly, but also the whole world.
If there is not enough time to slowly run in, the undercurrents that are hidden in the dark will slowly surface, entangled, and form a violent storm, and the consequences are unpredictable.
Fu Changzong looked at Zhu Xu, thought about it seriously, and said, "Your Majesty, now the four realms are stable.
The civil unrest in the west was also temporarily suppressed, and it was the time for the imperial court to deal with internal affairs calmly and meticulously. ” Zhu Xu listened to Fu Changzong's words, and quickly figured out the taste, and his expression was calm.
The political reform in the south has only been carried out for half a year, and if we do these things at this time, I am afraid that the hot water that has not yet cooled will boil again......
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, carefully scrutinizing Fu Changzong's words in his heart.
The current Ming Dynasty is far better than in history, the Houjin is temporarily silent, the Chahar Department needs to rely on the Ming Dynasty to survive, and there is not much threat in the north for the time being, so it doesn't take much effort.
Day.
Ben is also entering the shogunate period, and there are powerful sailors in the Ming Sea Realm, and the border army is also not more than trained, so there is no need to worry about this.
South.
Spanish on the sea.
Teeth, Charges.
The Lan people are still fighting, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade is not great. b.
Safe and secure for the time being.
The last piece of threat is Burma.
Dian, but after half a century of war with the Ming Dynasty, the consumption is about the same, especially when it is still in the civil war.
There are more than 100,000 troops stationed in the south, and Zhu Xu is not worried.
This is an external attack, and it is quite stable for a short time.
As for the internal troubles, it is an increasingly serious disaster, a major flood, a major drought, and a major flood After this time, I believe that the whole court has recognized that the water conservancy project will be intensified, and there should not be a major flood like that in later generations.
As for the drought, it is irresistible to manpower.
What the Ming court can do is to vigorously maintain stability, build a stable and comprehensive disaster response system, and provide disaster relief channels.
Zhu Xu thought for a while, looked at Fu Changzong and said, "How much surplus grain is there in the treasury now?"
” This Fu Changzong is the most familiar with it, and blurted out: "Sweet potatoes are now being sold more and more, saving a lot of food for the imperial court."
At present, there are nearly 40 million stone grains in the top ten granaries in reserve, plus this year's autumn grain, there are nearly 20 million stone grains that can be deployed at will, and there are 200,000 catties of sweet potatoes. ” Zhu Xu nodded slightly, this is all what he has worked hard to reserve in the past few years, some of them are replaced by sweet potatoes, and they are purchased through the Chamber of Commerce with cash, most of which are still the harvest of more than 100 million mu of fertile land that he owns, and most of these fertile fields come from the clan.
With these, even if the disaster is serious in the future, he will have the confidence to deal with it!
Seeing that Zhu Xu still refused to agree, Fu Changzong raised his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is the unstable mood everywhere, the princes of the Governor's Yuan, officials at all levels outside the six departments of the capital, in addition to the governors and governors at all levels outside Beijing, even if it is the prefect and the county, there are many people who are dissatisfied with the new policy. ” "Especially before the abolition of the guard, a large number of meritorious deeds were removed, the ancestors made great contributions, and the younger generations had no way to do it, and they were full of complaints.
The most important thing is the Shilin in Jiangnan, they have always played an important role in the court, especially Donglin, and now not only are they all expelled, but the court is also using a large number of scholars from the cold family, especially the academy, Jiangnan has the greatest resistance. ” "According to the statistics of the Royal Academy, the imperial court gives a quota, and half of Jiangnan is useless.
Those who enter the academy are all low-level official eunuchs, real scholars, and noble families are ashamed of entering the academy......"

Zhu Xu subconsciously picked up the fish soup on the table again and drank it gently.
The so-called reform, first reform and then reform, the most important thing is 'reform', and the most powerful thing in 'reform' is often the largest interest group, which may be a group, a stratum, or a certain group of people.
In the Ming Dynasty, they can be collectively referred to as 'vested interests', including clan princes, dukes, eunuchs, merchants, etc., who occupy the most important wealth of the Ming Dynasty - acres of land, in the apocalypse years, as high as eighty!
The remaining two percent have also been exploited layer by layer and entered the treasury of the imperial court, and one out of ten will not be saved.
Zhu Xu's reform, the first to move was the clan, from them to recover more than 100 million acres of fertile land, the duke, he also through military reform, explicitly implied methods, most of the recovery, the rest, is the official business group.
This group is almost integrated with each other, and there are basically no pure businessmen or pure officials.
This group is the most extensive in the Ming Dynasty, involving all aspects, inside and outside the palace, north and south of Beijing, from the military to the government, they are everywhere.
Although Zhu Xu is in control of the current six departments of the capital and firmly controls the army, in this situation, no one dares to be careless.
Qin Shi Huang was very violent, and Great Qin II died.
Wang Mang's long-awaited usurper of the Western Han Dynasty also ended up defeated.
The Sui Dynasty was incomparably strong, and in that case, it was still not rich for the second generation.
The Qi family cultivates himself to govern the country and level the world, not only the emperor is not sacred, but all the officials are not united, and everything will be fine if the weather is good.
Zhu Xu has too many things to do in his heart, but he also understands that if he doesn't go fast, everyone can follow.
I am afraid that the people around him may not all wholeheartedly support these reforms.
Zhu Xu secretly exhaled lightly and said: "Well, I know, in a few days, when the royal brother and others return to Beijing, they will hold a court meeting to set the tone of the court and the direction of government affairs in the next year or two." ” Fu Changzong was relieved when he saw that Zhu Xu listened, he was afraid that Zhu Xu would be blinded by the feeling of 'mastering everything' and impulsively go his own way.
"Obey."
Fu Changzong bent down and raised his hand, and said in a deep voice.
Zhu Xu saw that Fu Changzong had no intention of leaving, and said, "Uncle has other things?"
” Fu Changzong hesitated a little and said: "Back to the emperor, the political reform has almost been completed, I don't know what the emperor plans to do about Huitong Commercial Bank?"
” Zhu Xu immediately understood what Fu Changzong meant, no matter what, Huitong Commercial Bank is only a private chamber of commerce, and should not have administrative power, and should find an opportunity to formalize it.
However, Huitong Commercial Bank inherited many of Zhu Xu's expectations, including the future Daming Central Bank, which in addition to issuing paper money and controlling inflation, also supported the development of small and medium-sized businesses.
The current Huitong Commercial Bank is still very immature, expanding too fast, and even the basic business system is not perfect, if it is handed over to the imperial court now, I am afraid that it will fall into self-containment and it will be difficult to achieve his hopes.
Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said: "It's not the time yet, just leave it to the eldest brother to take care of it, it is more convenient to do many things in the people, and there are few people staring at it." ” Huitong Commercial Bank is now a monster, its tentacles involve all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been domineering, there are the imperial court, Dongchang, and even the secret help of Jinyiwei behind it, in addition to the business that requires partnership, it has always been a monopoly, and it has long aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of people, but it has not rebounded under the suppression of the imperial court.
Fu Changzong only mentioned one sentence, seeing that Zhu Xu had other functions, he didn't entangle, and said: "The minister understands, and the minister retires." ” After Zhu Xu answered, as soon as Fu Changzong left, Cao Huachun walked over with a stack of court newspapers and said, "Your Majesty, this is the capital master, the mountain.
East, mountain.
West, river.
The morning newspaper of the south.
"These provinces are relatively close and can be delivered in time.
