Wanli Youming

Chapter 470

Chapter 470

"Drag it down and cut it!"

Xing Jie didn't say much, just gave such a sentence directly.

He has nothing to talk about with these Japanese names.

Because the core needs of Ming Dynasty’s external expansion were fertile land, which was used to solve the problem of too many people and little land in the country; and the second was a market that consumed a lot of cheap commodities such as cotton cloth.

Therefore, in essence, Daming needs to eliminate as many of these exploiting classes as possible who own the land of Wa and have nothing to do with production, that is, these daimyos.

With the power of the imperial court to protect the safety of life and property of the domestic disaster victims after they migrated overseas, the Han people who immigrated like Gao Zijia were basically not slaughtered by the local Japanese landlord class, and many of them became prosperous within a year or two.

And in the country.

For Emperor Zhu Yijun, he was most pleased to see that the problem of too many people and too little land was finally solved by transferring them to the outside world instead of solving the problem of people, that is, after forcing the refugees to rebel and turning them into bandits, they slaughtered these redundant people .

Before Zhu Yijun came to the throne, the ruling class of Ming Dynasty did this.

Including Zhang Juzheng in history, during the reform period, he also adopted a strategy of suppressing and killing in response to the unrest caused by too many refugees.

And Wang Yangming also did the same when solving the problem of too many refugees.

There is no way, if there is no external expansion, this is the only way. After all, people can be killed, but it is difficult to increase the grain production of the land by a lot.

The purpose of Zhu Yijun's implementation of the new ceremony is to change this way.

Let domestic problems be solved not by the cruel way of killing each other, but by being as gentle as possible.

In this way, the country will begin to have a more inclusive environment for individuals, so that the individuality of the Chinese people can be publicized, and then various disciplines will be developed, and a hundred flowers will flourish, prompting the emergence of a new technological revolution, and the individuality will not be suppressed because the struggle is cruel.

From the emperor to the common people, it is not necessary to be a model, and everyone will not feel insecure due to insufficient resources, and they will not all be very hostile.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, 360 Erding and 430 people have been relocated this year without land; 36 Mu of land has been allocated."

"In addition, since the ninth year of Wanli, after the immigrants divided the land, Dongying, Mawlamyine, and Donglai (Taiwan) have increased the land tax by more than 100 taels."

On this day, at the Xuanzhi Gate, Zhu Yijun was here as scheduled to watch the court.

On the morning of this day, Wang Lin, Minister of the Household Department, reported to him the tax increase after emigrating to sea and emigrating to sea.

The relocation of Han people did not start this year. Before that, people were encouraged to go to sea to migrate. It was only this year because of the catastrophe that the imperial court officially began to organize large-scale relocation of the victims.

The imperial court did not officially organize immigration before, but only encouraged it. The reason was to consider the evil side of human nature.

Because if the imperial court organizes immigration by means of examination results and indicators, many of the officials at the bottom will have the courage to falsely label the rich households as refugees, and force them to relocate, seize their family business, and turn the relocated people into a family. This is a tyranny that plunders the people, and the superiors and officials in charge of them will turn a blind eye for the sake of good indicators.

Therefore, the imperial court only encouraged immigration before that, without forcing it.

If there are no such requirements in the examination of officials, even if there are still officials who seize the rich people's family property and force them to relocate, the imperial court can still stand up for rectification, and the officials such as Fuyong will not be punished because of the examination results and indicators. Indulge the officials below to come here.

Only now when large-scale disaster victims appear, the imperial court will send special imperial envoys to organize immigration.

Turn the words back.

It is precisely because the relocation of the people did not start this year. Since the ninth year of Wanli, people have been encouraged to migrate, so now overseas land taxes have been increased to a discount of one million taels of silver.

One million taels of silver is not a lot, which is equivalent to nearly 100 million taels of silver.

You must know that before the reform of the Wanli Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, Taicang’s annual silver income was only four million taels on average. The increase in tax revenue of one million taels of silver dollars was not a small sum, and it was a dazzling financial achievement!

Zhu Yijun was very pleased with this. It is not a bad thing to be able to increase taxes by neither killing people nor increasing taxes.

It's true that they don't kill people very much.

Even the natives are not killed very much, because Daming has an advantage in productivity.

"Very good, since overseas income has increased, the taxes accumulated by the people in the country can be reduced or exempted at discretion, such as the price of horses and silver, farm tools, looms and other equipment to pass the customs tax, so as to reduce the burden on the people and promote farming."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

Wang Lin raised his eyes and was overjoyed because of this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty obeys the order! Your Majesty loves the people so much that you are the most benevolent and holy king that has never been seen in the ages!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, but there are traitors who harbor evil intentions and want to ruin His Majesty's government!"

"In the past, they used the government to clean up Buddhist temples to enrich themselves, and later, they used the recruitment of immigrants to embezzle the funds for recruitment. Their greed is unprecedented!"

"As a result, the heavens issued a warning, and now Gyeonggi has a long drought and no rain. Last year, Fengxiang also had a long drought and no rain. The year before last, it was a long drought in Guangxi, and there was an earthquake and flood in Huaiyang."

"Your Majesty, if the culprit of such a treacherous official is not eliminated, I fear that it will be difficult for all people and cause chaos in the world!"

"The treacherous ministers I mentioned are Li Zhe, the Chancellor of Guanglu Temple, and his teacher Shen Shixing, who were previously exposed by Governor Zhang Butang (Zhang Yue)!"

"Shen Shi Xingming stated that in order to carry out the New Deal, in fact, he secretly asked Li Zhe to send Zhang Butang to use the Zhao'an Bank to privately divide it with the wealthy gentry."

"This Zhang Butang has already published the impeachment. As a result, Shen Shixing colluded with the general manager Ni Guangjian to hide the bullets, so that His Majesty didn't know about it. Therefore, I had to publish it to His Majesty on the day of the imperial court!"

After Wang Lin said this, Jiang Zhongxiao, a doctor in the household department, immediately left the imperial court and impeached Shen Shixing and Li Zhelai to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun knew about this, because Zhang Yue did impeach Shen Shixing and Li Zhe, saying that Li Zhe asked Shen Shixing to ask Zhang Yue to collude with the local gentry to suppress the bandits and privately share the stolen money when Zhang Yue went to recruit for security.

But Zhu Yijun didn't believe that Shen Shihang would be so greedy. When he knew that what he needed was to let the rogues who had been recruited to develop overseas, he dared to take human life for the sake of embezzling the recruiting funds.

What's more, what Zhang Yue presented was only evidence that Li Zhe participated in this matter, but no evidence that Shen Shihang participated.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun only asked Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate and did not deal with it.

But at this time, Jiang Zhongxiao used this as an argument, and even used the natural disaster warning to prove Shen Shixing's treachery and evil, which made him have to doubt Jiang Zhongxiao's real purpose.

Things in the court are always turbulent. Some people seem to impeach but are protecting, while others seem to support but are destroying.

What Zhu Yijun needs to do is not to fall into the trap easily.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun only asked after Jiang Zhongxiao said: "If a natural disaster occurs, if it is a warning, then it must be my fault! After all, I am the Son of Heaven, and if a minister is not virtuous, it is also because I employ people improperly! So, you mean that I employ people?" improper?"

Jiang Zhongxiao was startled for a moment, then prostrated himself on the ground, held an elephant wat and gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes! The warning from heaven is to remind His Majesty that Shen Shixing has failed His Majesty and has no loyalty to His Majesty in the past. He should be punished! "
