Gao Pragmatic did not shout at the emperor's mind as soon as he came up, although he actually wanted to do this in his heart, but people in politics are most afraid of being emotional, and they should be especially cautious in governing government.

Why is it said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh? Xiao Xian is something like small fish and shrimp, this kind of delicate meat and tender food you accidentally order, and the heat is slightly too much and it will be completely mushy, so you don't have to eat it.

The same is true of governing the country, if you pat your head and make decisions without planning or foresight, something big will happen. In administering the government, we must seek truth from facts and proceed step by step in a down-to-earth manner. Just like the Red Dynasty, without the prestige of Taizu in Korea, there would be no environment for peaceful development; Without Taizong's abandonment of the dispute between the left and right, there would have been no miracle of development for 40 years of super-British chasing the United States.

Every period has something to do in each period, and every time period does what should be done at that time, and this general trend is not bad.

What is the trend of Daming now? It is indeed gradually "reviting", but it has also exposed some past shortcomings, and some things cannot be done.

If there is no high pragmatism, the current Ming Dynasty will not consider taking Mongolia completely. After all, the tribute of Alta in the Gaogong era laid the situation in the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, at least Chahar could not threaten the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. Then, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to rush together money to prepare for the Mongolian right wing in one fell swoop, so issues such as the clan and the clan will not be so important, or they have to be handled.

This is not because the state has weakened, on the contrary, it is precisely because the country has become stronger and has new and more ambitious goals that such an imminent problem has arisen.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety. The more you are at such a time, the more you must calm down, the more you must think carefully, and you can't get into trouble internally because you are in a hurry, which is contrary to the set goal.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic is not in a hurry to express his position or make suggestions, but to ask about the current actual situation first.

However, although Zhu Yijun's level is definitely higher than in the original history, he still failed to understand the deep meaning of Gao Pragmatism, he just replied casually: "Last year, Taicang's annual income was more than 5.78 million taels, and the expenditure of the sect and the domain was about 1.64 million...... Or 1,670,000, I don't remember exactly, but that's probably it. ”

Gao Pragmatic was about to nod, but who knew that Zhu Yijun immediately answered: "But the household department said that this year's money is only afraid to exceed 1.75 million taels." ”

Gao was taken aback by these words, and asked, "More than 100,000 taels a year?" ”

Zhu Yijun said distressedly: "I don't know if it's more than 100,000 taels every year, but this year is probably not wrong." ”

Gao Shishi's face immediately became grim.

A fixed expenditure that was already as high as more than 1.6 million taels is now rising by 100,000 taels a year, who can afford this? This expenditure originally accounted for a quarter of Daming's annual income, and now this is going straight to Sancheng, no matter who is in charge, he has to find a way to face this situation.

Looking at Zhu Yijun's expectant eyes, Gao Pragmatic did not directly give him a solution to the problem, because he knew that what Zhu Yijun was most looking forward to now was to solve the financial difficulties, rather than necessarily solving the problem of the clan.

It's not going to work.

It is not that Gao Pragmatism cannot start by increasing fiscal revenue and continue to suppress the issue of the clan, but that is meaningless, because judging from the current situation, the population explosion of the clan has already begun, and the longer it drags on, it will only get more serious.

"Your Majesty." Gao Pragmatic was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "When the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Discipline" was promulgated, Taizu had a clear admonition, 'Those who dare to change the ancestral law in later generations will be treated as traitors and will not be forgiven'. If the minister proposes a more Zhang policy, I don't know what crime the emperor wants to convict the minister? ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned, stayed for a while, suddenly deflated, leaned his shoulders on the back of the chair, and said weakly: "This ancestral ......" He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Can you bypass it?" ”

"You can give it a try." Although Gao Pragmatic said this, he shook his head at the same time and said: "In terms of the imperial court, most of the civil and military ministers will probably agree, but Your Majesty, if you really want to do this, I am afraid you must be mentally prepared." ”

Zhu Yijun heard that there was a chance to bypass it, and Gao Shishi also judged that most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court would support it, and he couldn't help but perk up, and he didn't care much about the rest of the words, so he just asked casually: "What preparation?" ”

Gao Pragmatic looked solemn and said, "There may be some ...... in the world's sects Mass events. ”

Zhu Yijun's face suddenly froze, and he hesitated: "Rebellion? It's not ...... Not really, right? ”

Can the current vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty rebel? What are you kidding, just this group of waste snacks, not to mention that there are no soldiers and no power for a long time, and even if there is, it can't be made.

The current situation is that these feudal kings are basically all waste, and the imperial court's attitude towards the control of the clan is basically the same whether it is the real school or the heart school.

The reason is very simple, where did the money come from? It was given by the imperial court.

If the silver of the imperial court is given to the clan one or two more, won't we, the ministers of civil and military affairs, have one or two less to use? If there is less money that can be dominated, won't the power be correspondingly smaller? Can you still oppose it?

Therefore, there is no problem with the attitude of the imperial court, and it is even difficult to make it a situation where everyone is united.

The difficulty lies in the attitude of the clan – not a rebellion, of course. It is basically impossible to rebel, what kind of rebellion can a group of domestic pigs that have been raised for two hundred years rebel, Zhu Bajie is useless when he comes.

It seems that Zhu Yijun doesn't know much about the word "group incident", so Gao pragmatic changed his words: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't say that there would be unscrupulous people in the clan to rebel, what the minister said meant gathering crowds to riot or gathering crowds to make trouble, etc., to put pressure on the court." ”

Zhu Yijun suddenly let out a long "oh" like a big realization, but judging from his expression, he didn't realize what danger there was in this, and he might even think that this was not a big deal.

Gao pragmatic reminded: "Your Majesty, if it is only a few clans and vassals, then it will naturally not matter, and the court has a way to deal with it." But if there are too many people in the clan involved, it will be very bad, and the political impact will be very bad. ”

"Really?" Zhu Yijun still seems to be a little unconvinced.

Gao Pragmatic sighed, so he had to give an example: "The minister will give an example - the emperor forgives the sin, this is just an example, not what the minister wants to imply." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded in understanding: "You say." ”

"In Hongwu, there is only one Zhou Wangfu in Kaifeng, Henan." Gao Pragmatic is a native of Henan, and Xinzheng happens to be under the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, so he directly gave an example of Kaifeng: "In the Jiajing period, Kaifeng only has 39 county palaces, and there are more than 500 auxiliary generals. Now there are decades of Jiajing, and the number of ministers has not been investigated in detail, but it can also be deduced. ”

Zhu Yijun also knew for the first time that there were at least thirty-nine county palaces in Kaifeng alone, and he was also stunned and speechless at the moment.

And Gao pragmatic didn't finish speaking, he continued: "I don't know how many ministers have the silver in Taicang, but because the transportation was changed to river and sea parallelism, Jinghua also participated in part of the shipping. ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "I only know that Jingshi needs about four million stone of grain from the south every year, and the other specific circumstances are not very clear. ”

"Yes, the food shortage in Jingshi is about four million stones per year." Gao Shicheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "But does the emperor know how much rice is needed for each foreign prince's mansion?" ”

He didn't wait for Zhu Yijun to answer this time, and directly gave the answer: "It's 8.5 million stones, which is twice as much as the Beijing Division." ”

Zhu Yijun gasped directly.

There is no way not to gasp, there are so many people in Jingshi to eat, and the shortage is four million stones, and these four million stones of grain make the imperial court have to set up a governor and a large number of officials to plan for the problem of transportation, and even set up troops to escort along the way, etc.

However, in addition, the various sects and clans actually consume 8.5 million stones every year, which is more than twice what the Jingshi needs! Among them, how much manpower, material and financial resources did the imperial court spend to ensure the continuous supply?

In other words, if you don't have this big baggage, what is it to be a mere Chahar? Could it be that 8.5 million stone military rations are smashed, and they can't smash a single Chahar?

But he suddenly remembered what Gao Shishi said before, and couldn't help asking: "But ...... the group incident you just said?"

Gao Shishi said calmly: "Yes, the group incident - the emperor, the eight and a half million Shi Lumi is gone, what do these clans eat?" Can you stop making trouble? ”

Zhu Yijun was really speechless.

Gao Shishi continued: "The reason why the minister said that the vassal kings would not have the idea of rebellion is because the vassal kings also have a large amount of private property in addition to Yulu, and even if they lack this bit of Lumi, the impact is actually very small, and they can't make trouble for this Lumi. The ones who are really going to get in trouble are those distant clans. ”

The Yuanzhi clan is actually a nice saying, but in fact, high pragmatism refers to those low-level clans, which Zhu Yijun certainly knows.

At this time, Zhu Yijun also understood what Gao pragmatic meant, and nodded heavily: "Yes, the vassal kings are actually not bad at this point of Lu rice, and it is those distant branches who really rely on Lu rice to survive." ”

Gao pragmatic said: "The rice that these distant branch clans can get is already discounted, but there are not many of them, and they can't become officials, nor can they farm, serve in the army, and do business. As soon as this Lumi is broken, their way of life will be cut off, and if they don't make trouble, they can only starve to death, how is this possible? Ants are still greedy, but what a man!

However, they are clans, and the punishment is not added, and even if they break the law, they are not under the jurisdiction of the legal department, but can only pass through the Zongren Mansion, and finally the emperor will judge it himself. In this way, once they riot in various places, the magistrates will inevitably throw a mouse, so if there are some burning, killing, looting and other things in their brains, not only will it be difficult for the heavenly family to save face, but the local area will also suffer greatly, isn't it serious? ”

Ah......h

Zhu Yijun also has a headache now, the clan punishment is not added, it can only be investigated and understood by the Zongren Mansion, and then handed over to the emperor to decide, this is also the ancestral system - why does this ancestral system care about everything? It's annoying!

Forget it, it's just some bad idea!

For a moment, Zhu Yijun really couldn't wait to find a copy of "Huangming Ancestral Training" and burn it down.

But just think about it, if "Emperor Ming Zuxun" can be burned, then wouldn't he, the emperor, be able to change it?

It's good now, but there is a contradiction, and it's still a dilemma.

"So what now?" Zhu Yijun scratched his head very unvividly: "There are so many clans that the imperial court can't afford to raise them immediately, but they can't move yet!" If this is another ten years, what will I do to feed them? ”

Originally, he was just venting his emotions with this sentence, but he didn't expect Gao Pragmatic to nod and say: "Yes, the emperor already understands where the key to the problem is." ”

Yes? I see? No, I don't understand!

Gao pragmatic directly ignored the sluggish emperor, nodded and said: "Yes, the key to the problem lies in the word 'raising' - why does the emperor have to raise all the clans?" ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: It's not that I want to raise it, isn't this also an ancestral training?

However, he was familiar with Gao Pragmatic, and guessed in his heart that Gao Pragmatic should be about to propose countermeasures, so he couldn't help but feel hopeful, and pretended to say: "Ah, yes, yes, what you said is ...... I'm still a little unsure, though, so you might as well go into more detail......"

Very good, very on the road, this is the good emperor.

Gao Pragmatic said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, since the problem is 'raising', why don't you solve this problem?" ”

He sighed and said, "Today's most serious and difficult person is not as good as the Zong Domain, and the most urgent and unfortunate person is not like the Zong Domain." When the minister was compiling the "Daming Huidian", he had examined the previous generations, and there was no one who sat in the clan and ate the county officials. My ancestor is a unique ancestor, and he is awarded the title of knight, and he is also gracious.

However, Taizu was the beginning of the origin of the day, so it was easy to offer to several counties. As for today, when the sect branch is extremely strong, it is difficult to give it to the power of the world. According to the general theory of the world, at the beginning of the country, there were only 49 relatives, county kings, and generals, but now there are tens of thousands of survivors in the jade, and 8.5 million stones of grain are strange. The county, the county lord and the guest of honor are not among them. So compared with the beginning of the country, hundreds of times worse, how can you still be supported as before? ”

Zhu Yijun hesitated: "If you don't raise ......"

Gao pragmatically said: "The minister thinks that the emperor probably has two worries: one is whether he can bypass the ancestral system, and the other is that if he does not raise it, it will also lead to clan riots. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded again and again: "That's right, yes, I just think that your method seems to have gone back again." ”

"That's not the case." Gao pragmatic smiled: "First, the matter of bypassing the ancestral system has already been said, as long as the emperor approves and all the civil and military officials agree, this ancestral system will also be bypassed-can't all the officials in the world be traitors, right?" Naturally, time has changed, and some laws have to be adapted. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, very agreeable.

Gao pragmatic said: "As for the clan riots...... In fact, the reason why they may be harassed is nothing more than because they have lost their way out. But what if the emperor and the court give them a way out? ”

Zhu Yijun hurriedly asked: "How to give?" ”

"Good to give." Gao said calmly: "Just open the ban." ”
