Rice... Livelihood?

That's too straightforward!

This is the Emperor's Gate, it is the place where the Imperial Gate listens to the government, although it is not arranged in advance, but the fact is that now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the emperor are here, this is a big court meeting!

Opening your mouth here is a rice bowl, but it looks out of place!

Chen Younian didn't know what Wanli meant, he felt wronged in his heart, his brother's job has always been broken, he raised his head and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister .......!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Wanli interrupted him, "Aiqing, do you know how much effort I have spent on this edict?" ”

Chen Younian was stunned by the question, Mu Ne nodded, and if you look at it, you will know that the edict will never be written indiscriminately.

Wanli smiled bitterly: "However, it has not been an hour since the edict was promulgated to this time, and I know that all of you Aiqing are the smartest people in my Ming Dynasty, but I think that even if you are the smartest people, it will be difficult to see this edict clearly and understand it in less than an hour." ”

Chen Younian's eyes widened when he heard this, and then his face showed shame.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo and others also secretly regretted it, they were really fooled.

Wanli said: "So don't tell me, you came here to worry about the country and the people, if you are really worried about the country and the people, you should first discuss carefully, the pros and cons of this reform, and then come to me to discuss, although I have not heard it with my own ears, but I am sure that you have never discussed the pros and cons of the reform." ”

You're going to smash our jobs and talk about!

This also proves that what Wanli said before was completely correct.

Therefore, don't talk about those big truths, since you are here for the job, let's talk about the job.

Wanli said bluntly: "You see from this that your own interests will be harmed, this is the reason why you are in a hurry to come here, and this is the reason why you are so anxious that you don't even wear official uniforms." ”

Indeed, there were a few officials inside who didn't even wear official uniforms, and he didn't even notice it, and when Wanli mentioned it, they found out, and they were embarrassed and embarrassed.

Zhang Heming immediately said: "Maybe Your Majesty is right, some people care about this, and Weichen doesn't dare to deny it, but it is inevitable that some generalizations are partial, and I believe that more people are shocked by His Majesty's publication of the edict in the press, because this is not in line with the court system." ”

"Not in line with the court system? I don't think it's to your liking, right? ”

Wanli snorted coldly and said, "Why don't I know that my edict cannot be published in newspapers and periodicals, what system stipulates this?" ”

Zhang Heming opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

How long has this real newspaper appeared, and the system certainly does not stipulate this, which is like the system of the Ming Dynasty would never prohibit officials from posting microblogs.

It's just an unwritten rule, if you take it seriously, then you win.

But Wanli hates this very much, I do something, I have to do it according to the form you specify, a little deviation, let you scold half to death, who is the emperor in the end.

I don't!

Li Sancai said: "But for such a big matter, Your Majesty should discuss it with the ministers or ministers in advance. ”

"Aiqing is right, such a big matter, I should discuss it with you."

Wanli pointed at Li Sancai and nodded with great satisfaction, but suddenly the words changed, and said: "But you can't blame me for not consulting you, I was bitten by a snake this time, and I was afraid of the well rope for ten years, isn't I afraid that you will use some despicable tricks to destroy it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and looked up at Wanli in unison.

Your words are really a little vicious, and we have all become poisonous snakes!

"Don't you know what you've done yourself?"

Wanli sneered: "Then Yang Yinglong did evil in Banzhou, and the people of Sichuan and Guizhou suffered from the Yang family, but I can't explicitly crusade against him, and I have to use the bandits as an excuse to send troops to Banzhou, this is nothing, in the battle of the southwest, you secretly supported Yang Yinglong, not only to report to Yang Yinglong, but also secretly to Yang Yinglong Food and armaments."

Why? Is it the country or the people?

The rebellion was committed, Guo Dan was ordered to go alone, capture the rebellion in Ningxia, and save the people of the northwest from being ruined.

For what? Is it the country or the people? ”

This is the rhythm of reckoning!

Many ministers were sweating profusely.

Wanli's expression changed, and he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if I want to blame you, I will have ordered you to be beheaded all over the house, and I won't wait until now, but you don't blame me for hiding something from you, after all, this reform is very critical for the country and the people, I don't want any mistakes, and I hope you Aiqing can bear with me!" ”

Chen Younian and Wang Jiaping glanced left and right, and when they saw that many ministers were trembling, they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being named by Wanli, and their hearts were all groaning.

Of course, they also knew, but at that time the struggle between the two sides was already white-hot, and no one could stop it.

At least they can't blame Wanli for hiding them in advance.

Wanli waited for a while, and saw that they were silent, before continuing: "Actually, I am not used to seeing it, because there are so many things like this, there are really too many things, at the beginning, Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, turned the tide, made the local people live and work in peace and contentment, and increased taxes for the treasury, and then Weihui Mansion became the richest state capital in the country in one fell swoop, and you sneered at this, so you never thought of learning Weihui Mansion."

What's even more ridiculous is that whenever I mention the establishment of the crown prince, you start jumping up and down, opening your mouth to worry about the country and the people, and closing your mouth to the country, all of which are righteous and awe-inspiring. However, you can't even do what you are doing now, so why should you care about the future of my Ming Dynasty? Do you care when I will die, or when will Daming die? ”

"The ministers don't dare."

The ministers were shocked and shouted in unison.

That's a scary thing to say.

"What else would you not dare?"

Wanli said coldly: "Don't tell me any more Confucian classics, if the Confucian classics are not for the country and the people, then it is nothing, I sometimes really feel that the Confucian classics come out of your mouth, that is the biggest insult to the saints and to Confucianism." ”

The combat power of the fat house is bursting!

From this point of view, it is really unexpected by all the ministers!

But it makes perfect sense.

The reason why you care about the prince is because the prince is the foundation of the country, and it is directly related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, which is not wrong. But the problem is that you can't even deal with the current problem, and then you still tell people that you are worried about what will happen in ten years, or even decades, aren't you funny?

There is no logic at all.

This theory directly negates their previous exposition of the national foundation.

And the reason why the ministers were speechless was because Wanli tore off the mask of hypocrisy.

Once everyone starts telling the truth, it's hard to keep talking.

Wanli returned to the dragon chair and sat down, "Let's go back to the tax-free privileges that you care about the most." I know that although I have repeatedly stated that I will give you your privileges in silver and will not lose a penny from you, you will not be grateful to me, because many of you have far more acres of land exempt from tax than the imperial court requires. Ancestral system, ancestral system! ”

When talking about the "ancestral system", he pointed his finger at the ministers with a sarcastic smile.

There is a quota for tax-free privileges, all of which were set by Taizu Chengzu, and they were all ancestral systems, but the result was ...... There is no one to abide by it, that Taizu hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials the most, and now, it is a lot of them if they are caught casually.

Wanli hates this very much, and the ancestral system of feelings is here to restrain me.

That's better than not.

Wanli said: "I can only express regret about this, because this reform is imperative. I also know that this will offend many people, and even force some dogs to jump off the wall in a hurry, that is, you say that the world is in chaos, but you don't need to work hard for me, I am ready for this, I tell you clearly today, the world will not be chaotic! The saints have clouds, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and I believe that the people's hearts are on my side. ”

So saying, he got up and prepared to leave, but as soon as he reached the front of the steps, he stepped back and said, "That's right! I almost forgot to talk about the Senate, about the Senate, in fact, it is very simple, that is, since I became in power, I found that you have not achieved enough things, and you have more than enough failures, and you can only talk about the Confucian classics on paper, but this country is not as good as a year after year, so I decided to try a different group of people, hoping to succeed. Oh, you don't have to bless me, because your blessings always backfire. ”

After talking about it, he went down the stairs and walked away.

It's not that he doesn't give the ministers a chance to refute, but there is no need for this, I am going to be replaced, what other bullshit do you need to put on.

And today's meeting is actually not to argue about anything, because once the truth is told, there is no fighting, Wanli is to use this to show his determination, and when it comes to this, it means that he will not give an inch.

Not a single word of the edict will be changed.

If you're not convinced, just give it a try.

Now that he has blossomed in the north and south, the Tusi system has been abolished in the southwest, and Ningxia has deterred the Tatars, the momentum is very strong, and he will never miss this great opportunity.

......

A no-tooth line.

"The layman has come just in time, and I just wanted to hear what the layman thinks about this."

Guo looked at this uninvited Aunt Xu with a smile and said.

"It's really exciting!"

Aunt Xu was no longer as calm as before, but was very excited: "Maybe in my father's opinion, the day has fallen, but in my opinion, this is just a matter of course, it is logical, and it will happen sooner or later." ”

Guo Dan sighed: "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "The reason why there is a tax-free privilege is because the Son of Heaven has always enjoyed the greatest tax-free privilege, but now that the situation has changed, His Majesty no longer needs the so-called tax-free privilege, so he will naturally feel that this tax-free privilege is very eye-catching." ”

"In a word."

Guo Dan nodded.

This is what he proposed, then of course he is sure that Wanli will agree, otherwise, isn't that talking nonsense.

Don't really look at the fat house's high-sounding and justified words, but don't forget, he is also a big rich slave, if you want to hurt his interests, he will fight with you, in fact, he weighs it according to his own interests.

The reason why there is this tax-free privilege is because the emperor does not have to pay taxes, so the ruling class enjoys a certain tax-free power, and the higher the rank, the greater the privilege, which is the class system.

In the past, he didn't have to pay taxes on his property, so of course he wouldn't let a fart go, because once this rule is broken, everyone's life will be difficult.

But now his main income is all in taxes, and he pays a lot of money, as for his little land tax, it is already insignificant, and the reform he is promoting today is that his land must also be taxed, but he doesn't care!

How much is that?

The stock went up, and everything came back.

In other words, privilege is now exempt from being someone else's tax, not your own.

This tax-free privilege, of course, is an eyesore no matter how you look at it.

This is also against the class system, the emperor pays taxes, and if you don't pay them, it is impossible to drop.

Judging from the current situation, if everyone pays taxes well, it is very beneficial for him, he has no loss, but he can fill the treasury, revitalize the country, benefit the people, get out of the shadow of Zhang Juzheng, and leave his great achievements in the history books.

The most important thing is that if he can do this, the imperial power will definitely be upheld.

Based on so many interests, including his core interests, the fat house will make such a determination.

Again, the higher the risk, the greater the benefit.

This also fully shows the greed of the fat house.

"Do you think this reform will succeed?" Guo Dan asked again.

Regarding reform, it's not what he's good at, he's a virtue with the fat house, and he will only change it according to his own interests, after all, he's also very greedy, but as for what kind of difficulties and troubles the reform will encounter, he has no experience at all.

"Very promising."

Aunt Xu nodded, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, did you suggest that Your Majesty set up a Senate and let Cao Ke, Wang Heng and others serve as presidents?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "No, I don't understand this, I still want to ask you." ”

Of course, he knew in advance that Wanli was going to set up a Senate, but Wanli didn't discuss this matter, because Guo Dan really didn't understand, if you asked him to do this, it would become "Chairman of the Prairie" again.

"It's a great move, and if you don't, you're probably half the chance of success."

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Dan asked.

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "The president of the Senate is Shen Shixing's son-in-law, and the vice president is the son of Wang Xijue, whether it is Shen Shixing or Wang Xijue, they are not young, and naturally they also expect the next generation to inherit their mantle, so the six cabinets will definitely secretly support the Senate." ”

But this is only family affection, not about the system, the cabinet has no power to interfere in the Senate, the Senate will only obey the emperor's orders, and at the same time, the governors are all petty officials who do not flow in, they have only one responsibility, that is, reform, they can't say anything about the country's affairs, or military affairs, and this will never repeat the mistakes of the past, this arrangement is too ingenious. ”

"So there are so many twists and turns in here." Guo Dan said thoughtfully: "I really haven't thought about this carefully before. ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "You didn't think much about it, that's because of this reform, in fact, you are the leader, there is no Yinuo Yaxing, no Yinuo Qianzhuang, no Grand Canyon, no Fengchi Group, these reforms are impossible to talk about."

Because no matter how the reform is, it will be the officials who will be implemented in the end, so it will inevitably be affected by the officials, and Your Majesty's will will not be reflected after all, and now that you exist, it has greatly reduced Your Majesty's dependence on the government, and also allowed Your Majesty to adopt a new balancing strategy. ”

Speaking of the back, her eyes lit up, she initially promised to be willing to help Guo Dan, in fact, she thought about this new balance, and when this happened, she was very excited in her heart.

Once successful, this will change the entire Ming Dynasty.

And the decaying Ming before is really not uplifted, and it is difficult to be missed.

Guo Dan saw it in his eyes, smiled and said, "If there is no such edict, I believe that the layman will not dare to come to see me for a while." ”

Aunt Xu's expression was stunned, and she said, "I just felt a little uncomfortable a few days ago, so I took a few days off, and I have already told Liansha about this." ”

"Really?"

Guo smiled lightly: "I thought it was .......!" ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "Think I'll pay the bills? ”
