Chapter Eighty-Three: Double Reeds
People can't do without pursuit, and once they lose their pursuit, they will quickly degenerate.
When the cabinet let out the wind first, the matter of sealing the king became clear, and Huang Cheng, the seven-rank official of Haojing Customs under Siyang, sent a letter to the imperial court, stating the problem of mismanagement of overseas enclaves.
At the same time, the old matter of Henan Province, which had the largest number of princes of the nine prefectures and was carrying out the work of clearing the acres of fields, was brought up again, and the total number of fields in Wangzhuang in the territory of the Shangshu had accounted for 20% of the land in the province, and he sincerely hoped that the ministers would carefully consider this issue.
Zhang Juzheng blatantly pressed down the two handbooks.
Immediately afterwards, Chengdu Mansion played the handbook again, saying that the fertile plain of the country of abundance was occupied by Wang Zhuang seventy percent, and the remaining two percent of the military land and one percent of the people's land, and the entire Chengdu Mansion was full of tenant farmers.
In fact, this is all a clichΓ©, everyone knows about these things, and they have to report it every few years, but in the past, there was really no way to solve it, so they could only find a way to cut the land of the vassal king who was a traitor and reduce the rice of the clan.
But this treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and the vassal king gives more and less of their Lu Mi base there, and he will definitely not die of hunger; But as soon as the lieutenants below are cut, they can't live anymore, and they have to complain about hardships year after year, many of them are people who understand, and they have worked hard to put on one requirement - let us also participate in the imperial examination and do some business, the most unfortunate and the worst, so that we can be a tenant for others.
There are a hundred willing ministers here, not to mention tenants, no one will stop you even if you go to pick up dung, but every time something is reported to the emperor, when you want to make a decision, no emperor is happy.
The rituals set by the ancestors have been implemented for so many years, and when it comes to their descendants, they will not raise them if they say that they will not raise them?
Originally, Emperor Jiajing was the most likely to change the clan system, but this one was the clan who ascended the throne, and he had a lot of concerns; Emperor Longqing did not reign for a few years, and there was no environment that could deal with the problem of vassal kings due to internal and external troubles, and the imperial court could only drag it on.
But this time was different.
As soon as Huang Cheng's recital was on, the military department, household department, ritual department, and engineering department officials who came and went with the four oceans also patted the handbook, and on the other side, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and other provinces with too many Wangzhuang also complained one after another, and they couldn't suppress it.
For a while, the calm court appeared to have a turbulent public opinion.
And it's weird, a discerning person can see the problem at a glance.
The officials of various provinces in the country took the opportunity of the implementation of the examination law in Qingzhang Tianmu to complain: Oh, we have no land in this place, and the most good land has been occupied by the vassal king! No, if it goes on like this, the country will die one day!
Overseas officials in the four oceans are worried about the future as if they have not seen the public opinion of the imperial court: Oh, there are too many overseas enclaves in my Ming Dynasty, and there will be more and more! No, if it goes on like this, it won't be easy to manage overseas, and the officials of the DPRK and China will have to find a way!
Some officials didn't give birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart, and the more they looked at the officials of the four oceans, the more annoying they became, these bastards! The middle school is like this, who are you saying in the face when you say this cool talk, and who will listen?
But those who can sort things out can see the sound outside the strings with a little analysis, which is a double reed sung on both sides.
However, at this time, no one took the soft-spoken Xu Zhenming on the letter about the academic talent of Zhu Zaiyu, the son of King Zheng in the science and technology awards, seriously, and no one paid attention to him at all.
This back and forth for more than ten days, and when the manuscripts to be reported by the provinces were almost reported to the Beijing Division, the cabinet just seemed to be 'unable to suppress', and began to summon the prefects and ministers of various places in a slow and orderly manner, and also pretended to summon Ye Mengxiong into Beijing to ask about things.
Chen Mu was completely out of the way in this matter, concentrating on military training, and quietly acting in Tianjin Beiyang and Xuanda's fangfeng at the same time, collecting the black form of Taifu Temple's mishandling of Ma Zheng - stealing his horse and selling his horse, Beiyang dealt with everything that could be dealt with, but the main black hand still stretched out directly from Taifu Temple, and it was impossible for him to run to the Five Temples with a gun to kill Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.
The two of them hit it off, Fang Feng also hated the Taifu Temple, he bought horses from Xuanda and sent them to the Taifu Temple to hand over the Beijing camp for use, they would not raise, the skeleton of the Outer Mongolian horse was strong and durable, and they were used to eating wild grass, and the concentrate feed such as beans was not used to eating at all at first, and they were sick when they ate, and they were sick when they were sick.
After finishing the matter, Jingying also wrote a book saying that Xuanda was not good, and it was stupid to spend a lot of money to buy it back were all sick horses, and the angry Fang was itchy at the root of his teeth.
When there are only two places that will raise Mongolian horses today, one is Xuanda, the other is Nanzhili, and there are only three places where Mongolian horses flow into Koushi, in addition to Xuanda Nanzhi, that is, Beizhili, it is not that Beizhili will not raise, but that Beizhili consumes a lot of horse meat.
In May, the court discussion was held several times, but there was still no result, although Chen Mu did not listen to the court discussion through the identity of Beiyang, but he had a lot of eyeliner, and most of the things were clear, everything was developing in a good direction, and he didn't need to wade into troubled waters.
Chen Mu is still self-aware of this matter, the outer feudal king is not a military one, and it has almost nothing to do with his own work, and things are developing well, so he can do it without him getting into trouble; If things don't develop well, he can't do anything even if he just tries to get up and get fishy.
Just in time for the four giant ships to dock at the port, Chen Mu sent a handbook to the palace, holding the boat map and riding all the way into Beijing.
"This matter has something to do with you, I know, don't look at you pretending to be a good person in Tianjin, and pushing everything to the cabinet."
The first person to see in Beijing is Xu Fatzi, with Zhang and Feng's power becoming more and more stable, Xu Jue is also a saint, this year's New Year in the east of the city for fifteen consecutive days, eat fat again, walk up the python robe rampant in the market and hug the belly, whispered to Chen Mu: "These big men in Beijing don't even know where his mother Haojing is, and they also talk about overseas as the head, it is impossible without you to help the trouble!" β
Chen Mu smiled lightly, neither denying nor admitting it, cocked his thumb and pointed to the boat map held by Juniper behind him and said: "I can't say anything about the court, I'll show the emperor the boat map, at most half a year, our Wanli will travel around Zhoutian, how is the governor doing?" β
"If you have a heart, I'll give you a heads-up."
Before entering the Forbidden City, while there was no one outside the palace gate, Xu Jue whispered: "Because of the overseas affairs of the king, there is a conflict inside and outside, and the godfather collects money and wants to eliminate disasters for others, it doesn't matter how else is sealed, the prince and the prince can't be sealed overseas." β
This is nonsense, Chen Mu squinted his eyes and thought, Fei Lumi's most is the prince and the county king, if there is any difficulty in transferring the generals and lieutenants, not to mention Zhang Juzheng, Chen Mu just sent it up, it is easy to summon a group of generals and lieutenants to go to sea, and the real big difficulty is that the fief of the prince and the county king must be nationalized.
Stopping, Chen Mu asked in a low voice with a smile on his face: "I still hope that my brother will tell me which family is this going to eliminate the disaster, can't we still do it?" β
Xu Fatzi also stopped, closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, and whispered five words.
"Empress Dowager Cisheng!"
