Chapter 174 is better than expected

Yun Zhao's basic plate is in Guanzhong.

It was only at this time that the people of China sincerely believed that Yun Zhao was their emperor.

Leaving Guanzhong, the feeling of the people of the Ming Dynasty towards Yun Zhao is that fear is greater than respect, let alone love.

This is related to the difference between the Lantian Imperial Court and the previous dynasties at the time of the founding of the country.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, any dynasty would implement the strategy of lightly paying the poor, giving amnesty to the world, and resting with the people.

Yun Zhao didn't do that.

Except for a small number of cases that have been wrongfully corrected, the rest of the prisoners are still prisoners, and there will be no change because of the change of dynasty.

Even in the extremely corrupt era of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, there were far more bad people in the prison than good people.

There is no imaginary scene of all the prisons full of good people.

After the redistribution of land, the tax did not change, and even more than in the Zhu Ming period.

In fact, at the end of Emperor Chongzhen, he had issued many documents for tax reduction and exemption one after another, and also issued many edicts for his crimes, and he wanted to use this method to make the people love him as a king again.

It's a pity that even though he has reduced taxes to an exaggerated level, the people of the world still don't like him as an emperor.

Because the land was all in the hands of the big landlords, scholars, clansmen, and officials, these people did not pay taxes in the first place, so his efforts were all in vain.

Higher taxes help to clear the land, which is conducive to the cultivation of more land by the people.

Therefore, the grace of the Lantian Dynasty was also very limited to the common people.

It's just that the government has helped them a lot, such as building farmland and water conservancy, providing improved seeds, providing cattle, and farm tools...... Of course, these things cost money, and although they were collected in the autumn, after doing so, there was no way to win people's hearts.

The upper echelons of ordinary people generally can't understand that even if they know that borrowing the government's cattle and farm tools is far cheaper than renting from fellow villagers, they still insist that as long as you collect money, you don't owe favors.

Today's Lantian government is the biggest landlord in their eyes, because what they do is what the landlord can do, and it is the norm to stay away.

And the Lantian government did not have the mentality of loving the people like a son, Zhang Guozhu took people two years to formulate a set of strict procedures, and did not leave much room for the local government to play freely.

Yun Zhao has always believed that Chinese society is actually a humane society, and in a humane society, it is absolutely impossible to be absolutely fair.

In fact, any society can also achieve absolute fairness, and it can only be said that a society composed of regulations and regulations can be relatively fair.

"Yun Zhao is in a hurry."

After Qian Qianyi read the newspaper, there was not much joy on his face, but looked at Liu Ruis with some sorrow, and sighed.

Liu said: "Isn't this a good thing for the master?" ”

Qian Qianyi frowned and said: "We were still pushed to the forefront by Yun Zhao, and from today on, we and Xu Yuanshou have become enemies of life and death." ”

Liu said: "Is the master ready to withdraw and return to Yushan?" ”

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "There is no way back this time, this is likely to be Yun Zhao's last chance to give Confucianism, if he retreats, it will really be a catastrophe!" ”

Liu said: "Is there no possibility of reconciliation? ”

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "This is Yun Zhao's way of balancing, even if we want to reconcile with Xu Yuanshou, Yun Zhao will not allow us to reconcile, only if we fight with Xu Yuanshou, Yun Zhao can balance left and right and take the biggest advantage."

Hehe, the emperor's balancing technique, I didn't expect Yun Zhao to be so skillful in playing. ”

"In that case, why does the master think Yun Zhao would do this? The concubine didn't believe that he was a robber and could really understand what it meant to be educated. “

Hearing Liu say this, Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "Yun Zhao, a bandit, is different from the robber you imagined, their family has been a robber for thousands of years, so they can be called the family of the world."

has been a robber for thousands of years, and has been a bandit leader for thousands of years, no matter how stupid the family is, it can also realize some truth from the experience of thousands of years. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi laughed again and said: "The wife of Le Yang said that the people with lofty ideals do not drink the water of the stolen spring when they are thirsty, and the incorruptible do not drink the food that comes from the mouth, and every woman can understand the truth, but I have no way to do it, I am ashamed." ”

Liu Ru sighed and said: "Yun Zhao's share of the stolen spring is too big, and the food he gives is also domineering, and he can't tolerate the master's refusal." ”

Qian Qianyi laughed and said: "Therefore, those who know the times are Junjie!" ”

Liu Ru looked at Qian Qianyi, who was smiling dryly, without saying a word, holding her winter melon in her arms and shaking it gently, she felt that her master really had no good choice now.

In the past, the various societies in Jiangnan have been beaten by Yun Zhao, and in Jiangnan, Lantian still implements the military management policy, as long as it is a literati, there is no one who likes to deal with soldiers.

It's not because the reason doesn't make sense, but because the thinking paths of these two kinds of people are fundamentally different.

The reputation of the Lantian soldiers in Jiangnan is good, they do not show the nature of thieves, but they are not the kind of army that people hope to welcome without committing any crimes.

On the whole, whether it is the Lantian officials or the Lantian army, the attitude towards the Jiangnan people is somewhat respectful and distancing.

Such a scene is terrifying.

Fundamentally speaking, this is probably also the view of the Lantian Imperial Court on the Jiangnan people.

The weather that is not cloudy or sunny is the most oppressive weather, because it can not only rain heavily, but also clear the sky in an instant.

Such an environment is about to drive Jiangnan Shizi crazy.

However, the people of Jiangnan do not seem to feel much about this atmosphere, and in their opinion, no matter how the dynasty changes, they will have to pay taxes.

Xu Yuanshou came to Yun Zhao's study again.

His expression was very calm, he didn't jump like thunder, nor did he mourn, he just calmly put a document on Yun Zhao's desk and said, "Your Majesty's ambition is very difficult to realize. ”

Yun Zhao instructed Zhang Xiu to bring the tea to Xu Yuanshou, motioned to Mr. to take care of himself, and then picked up the document and studied it carefully.

He looked at a pillar of incense for a whole time before he finished reading this thin document, then put the document on the table, pinched his eyes and rubbed it twice, and said, "Mr. has seen this matter too easily." ”

Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao and said "oh" and said, "In this way, Your Majesty's vision of having no class is more ambitious than what Lao Chen listed in the document?" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "The meaning of education and classlessness means that as long as I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, no one should be left behind." ”

Xu Yuanshou shook his head and said, "It's impossible. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Born as a human being, why can't they have the power that others have?" ”

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "The old minister knows that you are very disappointed in us, but you must also understand the importance of doing what you can.

It is necessary to raise the height of bright talents, and then we can consider the breadth of talents.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people you should understand, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, you are too anxious. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou and smiled, and then said: "I heard that in the past, when Nuwa kneaded the soil to create people, the first person to pinch it out by hand was the emperor, and then the kneaded people were the princes and generals......

These mud spots that were thrown out eventually became Shuren.

I don't know who made up this story, and how vicious the intentions were.

Over the years, Yushan Academy has been teaching students in a steady stream, and at the beginning, we were able to teach without class, and later, when the gentlemen of Yushan Academy began to give orders to the state capital of Daming, asking them to recommend the best and smartest children in the place to enter Yushan Academy, things changed a lot.

Do you think this change is a change in the end? ”

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said: "The way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is not enough to give more than enough." ”

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "That's the truth, has the gentleman ever thought about it, if I tolerate this situation and continue, what will be the consequences?" ”

Xu Yuanshou said: "The stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, the strong have everything, and the weak have nothing." ”

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou and said, "Since Mr. understands everything, why is he so opposed to my will to open up the wisdom of the people?" ”

Xu Yuanshou frowned and said: "It's not against Your Majesty's will, but Your Majesty's will won't work at all, Daming originally had 1,427 counties, and since Your Majesty controlled the pole, Daming has added another 123 counties, and now there are 1,550 counties."

In order to fulfill His Majesty's vision, not to mention, adding ten schools to each county on the existing basis is not too much, right?

Has Your Majesty ever calculated how much the state expenditure will increase? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou with a smile and said, "It's not much, it probably needs 137 million silver coins." ”

Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, is it really not much?" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "Not much, really not much." Not only that, but I also have to set up the same number of pharmacies at the same time. ”

"Does Your Majesty have so much money?"

"Yes!"

Xu Yuanshou took a long breath and said: "In the first year of China, the Lantian Imperial Court received a total of 280,000 silver coins in taxes, of which taxes in kind accounted for 30%. ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "In fact, there is no need to worry about this aspect, Zhang Guozhu has a detailed appropriation plan and construction plan, and officials at all levels also have a very detailed layout.

It's something they care about.

I just ask Mr. if Yushan Academy can get out of the current situation of complacency and participate in this great cause of not seeing the ancients before and those who will not come after? ”
