Chapter 115: Loren's Heart

The same person who faces this problem is Loren.

Because of Luo Lun, he is now in Nan'an County, Quanzhou.

The situation in Nan'an County is very different from that in Ninghua County.

Luo Lun didn't have to do anything at all, just released the news that the acres of land would be taxed and all the labor was converted into silver, and Nan'an County was one of the pilots, and I don't know how many people stepped on the door.

Just a person with an identity to find out.

Luo Lun checked the local situation, and most of the people were not satisfied with farming, and it was already a normal thing to go to sea to do business.

Nan'an County is only fifteen miles away from Quanzhou, and there are waterways to communicate with it. It can be said that it is within easy reach. And the land of Fujian, where there are many people and few places, is not a rumor for a long time.

This plain of Quanzhou is still extremely densely populated, many people want to dig food from the soil, and there is no land to speak of, but a considerable number of sailors and merchants who are running on the sea are Nan'an people.

And there are also big businessmen in Nan'an County, and there are quite a few of them.

Although the status of Fujian businessmen is not as good as that of Tong'an businessmen, he heard that Tong'an businessmen are even more powerful in Fujian businessmen's circles, and in a small county, almost half of the men are doing business abroad.

If you can pay taxes with the silver and be exempted from servitude, most of these prefectures and counties are willing.

Moreover, the potential benefit of a whip law is to relax the people's attachment to the land. Previously, the Ming court had very strict control over the movement of the people.

If you move, you have to guide the way.

Because a lot of labor needs people, if all the people run out, the county will be blind.

Now, after a whip law, this kind of dependence has been greatly reduced, and there is no benefit, and the most basic prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty are too lazy to waste energy.

Loren did nothing, and the obstacles to a whip were cleared.

Not to mention that a whip law is beneficial to the poor, even the rich are willing to do it, after all, most of the local large families are involved in the sea. A little bit of interest in the land is nothing compared to the benefits of maritime trade.

The people looked forward to this method, and it was almost a great drought and the clouds were over.

In this way, it saves them a lot of trouble.

As for the grain merchants to lower the price, don't look at what kind of place it is, it's Quanzhou, the sea transportation is extremely developed, you really want to raise the price, is it difficult for me to transport two ships of grain from Houjiaozhi Province? As for silver, those who run the sea trade are also settled in silver. Are you afraid that you won't have any money?

This is also Liu Ding's handy.

The people in the court placed Li Dongyang in Ninghua, how could Liu Dingzhi not see it, he responded with a backhand, what to do with Luo Lun?

Did you go with the flow, or did you deliberately go against the grain?

If you deliberately do something bad, you naturally have to deal with it well. But following the trend doesn't mean that the most stubborn people agree with a whipping law.

In the battle of the imperial court, Liu Dingzhi took the lead.

Luo Lun is also caught in a contradiction like Li Dongyang at this moment.

In fact, he really wanted to find out the problems of the implementation of a whip law in the local area.

Is there nothing wrong with this whip?

Yes, after all, this whip law is not summarized from the bottom up, but is decided at the highest level and then implemented.

It's hard to be perfect in the details.

But it's all a minor problem.

Loren disposed of it easily.

In the general direction, there is really no problem at all with the implementation of a whip law in such a place where transportation is developed and trade is active, and it is even appropriate.

Loren worked hard to implement a whip law, and when he thought about it, he knew that his political future was gone.

Without him, in politics, there is no room for a repeating person.

But he insisted on picking a bone from the egg, but he couldn't. It's just that he's uneasy inside.

The current political struggle in the Ming Dynasty has not yet risen to the level of party struggle. And the moral standard of the Ming bureaucracy has not yet degenerated to the point of looking only at interests.

Especially these people who have just entered officialdom for a few years.

There is still a heart for the government and the people in my heart.

"Let's go." Loren sighed and ordered a summer tax in the thirty-third year of orthodoxy to be levied with a whip law.

So the people of Annam rejoiced. Even the people of several nearby counties have reacted to their respective county orders, thinking that they are just like the people of Annan.

As a result, all parts of the coastal areas of Fujian Province played a whip method, and it drifted like snowflakes.

The people actively cooperated, and Loren's workload was greatly reduced.

Luo Lun's mind is not above the officialdom, and he spends almost his time reading sage books and corresponding, with Wu Youbi, Chen Xianzhang and others. It seems that he is going to resign and go home after this term of prefectural order.

After all, he felt that he had no future in the officialdom.

So, in the thirty-third year of the orthodox summer tax, the discussion about a whip law was once again set off in the imperial court.

As before, it was only the discussion within the imperial court that was different, but now it is the participation of all prefectures and counties.

After all, the more than a dozen county orders that were resettled before were all over most of the provinces of Daming.

The holy decree issued by the imperial court was also clearly issued, and officials at all levels looked at it clearly.

Therefore, all provinces take their own situation as a starting point and discuss the pros and cons of a whip law.

Among them, there are almost two clear factions, those for and those against.

Almost all coastal provinces, along the Yangtze River, along the canal, all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the prefectures and counties near Beijing are supported. But the inland provinces, the prefectures and counties in the ravines, were all opposed.

A clear-cut opposition was formed.

Around the time of the collection of the summer tax, that is, around May, it became the focus of discussion in the imperial court.

Zhu Qizhen convened the cabinet meeting again, and he ordered two tables to be placed on both sides against the wall, which were neatly more than ten meters long, and there was no gap on it.

It's all densely packed with folds.

Zhu Qizhen didn't even finish reading it, which also made the cabinet anxious.

It's all fierce feedback from the prefectures and counties below.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Liu Dingzhi said: "Your Majesty, this matter has been agreed before, and after the success or failure of the pilot projects in various places, we will discuss it, and national affairs should be delayed rather than rushed, especially this kind of matter that involves the people's livelihood in the world, no matter what is said below, it must always be delayed." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "What Shoufu said is good. ”

In fact, Zhu Qizhen is still very satisfied with the current situation.

Because the number of supporters and opponents of a law is growing at the same time.

Opponents, on the grounds of the ancestral system, not in line with local people's feelings, and so on, oppose for various reasons, and have no intentions, and there are also many supporters.

This also reflects the current situation of Daming.

With the size of the Ming Dynasty, many places, with the capital of Jiangnan, the income of the people in these places. Quite high. Although it cannot be compared with later generations, on the whole, it is not much different from the heyday of the Song Dynasty.

A lot of market weather has been revealed.

But there are many places that still live a difficult and difficult life hundreds of years ago, and even a little natural disaster, just a life that can't be persevered.

This is also the reality.

There's more to it in between.

This multi-layered reality has also led to different responses from magistrates at all levels to the same matter.

That's already good.

Zhu Qizhen is actually reflecting on this at the moment.

Is a whip law suitable for the whole country?

The problems of the silver shortage, the problems of grain reserves, the problems of the law of service, and the problems of the officials are all entangled with a whip law.

One-size-fits-all is not necessarily a good thing.

But although Zhu Qizhen had this idea in his heart, he would never say it first. Because if he leaks the slightest rumor, those who oppose it will gain an inch.

The technique of advancing two and retreating one, Zhu Qizhen is too familiar. Nature knows when to enter and when to retreat?

"However," Zhu Qizhen said, "Among these twists and turns, Li Dongyang, the magistrate of Ninghua County, is particularly interesting, and I don't know if you gentlemen have seen it." ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen signaled, Huai En immediately instructed the little eunuch to hand the stacks of folding manuscripts in his hand to the various cabinet ministers one by one.

Some of these cabinet ministers have already seen Li Dongyang's recitals, and some have not.

But whether you have seen it or not, now the emperor makes people see it. Naturally, I will take a closer look at it again. While thinking about Li Dongyang's thoughts.

Liu Dingzhi naturally saw it, seeing the emperor so solemnly dealing with Li Dongyang's performance, he was secretly happy in his heart, and he knew that the predicament of Ninghua County could not trap Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang can not only solve it perfectly, but in the future, he will be simple in the emperor's heart.
