The enthronement ceremony has just ended, Su Tiancheng convened the cabinet scholars, the six Shangshu, the governors of the provinces, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the inspectors, the imperial envoys, and the governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to discuss things, in the eyes of everyone, this time Su Tiancheng must be discussing the matter of conquest, after all, the Great Jin Dynasty has only unified the south, and there are not many provinces that can be controlled, and there are still large tracts of land in the north, and there are still people in Liaodong eyeing them.

Su Tiancheng didn't think like this, he had already made a plan in his heart.

The Great Jin Dynasty under his own leadership, in the final analysis, is an elite dynasty, not much different from the previous dynasty, focusing on the emperor's personal wisdom and integrity, the civil and military ministers used, all of them are scholars and students of the Ming Dynasty, these civil and military ministers, although they are different in understanding, but in the bones are still elite thoughts, in the final analysis, they still look down on the people, think that the people are the people, are the groups that are used, and are the classes that need to be cared for and taken care of, As for the creativity of ordinary people and the huge energy that can burst out, they can't recognize it, and they won't pay attention to it.

Su Tiancheng's idea of using the system to manage people and affairs needs to be realized in this era, I am afraid it is a little unrealistic, after all, personal ability is limited, the understanding of the minister of civil and military affairs is not good, and it is useless for a person to shout, and in the end he still relies on his iron and blood to maintain the rule. Therefore, Su Tiancheng can only rely on his iron-blooded wrist to gradually do relevant things, and then implement relevant policies when the climate is suitable.

The land issue and the fiscal and tax issues are the two major problems that Su Tiancheng must face, as for the matter of conquest, in his opinion, it is not very difficult to overthrow the dynasty of the Zhu family, even if it is the Houjin Tartar of Liaodong. In the end, it was completely wiped out by the Great Jin Dynasty, the dynasty has been established, and it is necessary to take into account the overall planning of doing things, and it is not only possible to take into account the matters of conquest, there are many specific things that need to be carefully planned and implemented.

Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the newly established Jin Dynasty. The financial problems faced are the same, that is, the agricultural economy is the mainstay, and most of the taxes are borne by the peasants, which means that the fiscal revenue cannot be very high, and to a large extent, it depends on the sky to eat, once it encounters a famine, the dynasty is difficult to maintain, and more importantly, Su Tiancheng is implementing a policy of high salaries and honesty. The salaries of officials are very high, and the salaries of the army are also huge expenditures, in this case, without changing the existing pattern of agriculture, the Great Jin Dynasty cannot be prosperous and strong, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time.

If we want the country to be rich and the people strong, we must develop commerce and trade and liberate the common people from the land. More wealth was created through commerce, and the imperial court gained more wealth from commerce. In this way, the notice of the imperial court can be truly maintained, and the Great Jin Dynasty can really begin to become strong, rather than being short-lived like those prosperous times in history.

After so many years, Su Tiancheng has made a lot of efforts, and Shandong Province is almost dominated by commerce and trade. However, relying only on Shandong alone, it is impossible to maintain the Great Jin Dynasty, and this model of focusing on commerce and trade and supplemented by agriculture must be popularized throughout the Great Jin Dynasty.

This understanding must be accepted by the civil and military ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty. This is a matter of principle, and there must not be a single murmur, and there must not be any controversy on the issue of developing commerce and trade.

The second is the land problem, land annexation has always been a big problem, the successive dynasties have not been able to completely solve, the early days of the establishment of each dynasty, can solve the problem of land annexation very well, but after a period of development, the problem of land annexation will inevitably appear, Su Tiancheng of the crossing, very clear, if you do not change the nature of land ownership, this kind of problem can not be completely solved.

Therefore, the Great Jin Dynasty will implement the policy of state-owned land, the ownership of land belongs to the state and the imperial court, and anyone only has the right to use, but the individual is sacred and inviolable before the use of land, unless the state needs to expropriate, otherwise it is generally not allowed to buy and sell privately.

As for the officials of the imperial court, they were not allowed to own land, and land was the foundation of the peasants' survival, and the officials could completely support their families by relying on their income, and there was no need to compete with the peasants for interests.

The core problem here is the problem of agricultural tax, the land is nationalized, all agricultural taxes, that is, owned by the imperial court, those who rely on the land for survival, the interests of the landlord and gentry will suffer great damage, this is probably the biggest difficulty of the land policy implemented by Su Tiancheng.

But the land policy must be carried out, it is better to cry all the way than to cry a family, such a land policy can stabilize the vast majority of the peasants, and can ensure the long-term stability of the power of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Fengtian Temple.

This is the place where Su Tiancheng ascended the throne, and many civil and military ministers listened to Su Tiancheng's statement very carefully.

They would never have thought that after ascending the throne, Su Tiancheng showed an iron-blooded side, and many civil and military ministers repeatedly understood the policy of developing commerce and trade, and even Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and Xu Eryi and others expressed their support, and they were clear about the situation in Shandong, because the development of commerce and trade, its prosperity far exceeded that of the capital, and the taxes obtained by the imperial court from commercial transactions were also astonishing astronomical, and the huge Jiangning camp could be maintained, and the court officials' fortunes could be implemented. In fact, they all rely on the taxation of Shandong commerce, once this situation is pushed away in the rest of the place, it is conceivable how rich the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty are, of course, everyone also knows that Su Tiancheng's idea is probably not only to develop commerce.

The policy of land, everyone is a little difficult to accept for a while, all dynasties, land is owned by private individuals, the imperial court now wants to collect all the land to the imperial court, the difficulty faced is conceivable, you must know that the gentry and rich households who own land in the road are all heads and faces, they are all elites, Su Tiancheng's request for this move, isn't it shaking its own foundation, if these people are up against it, for the Great Jin Dynasty, it is a huge hidden danger.

Almost everyone spoke, and everyone's opinion was very unanimous, supporting the development of commerce and trade, including the abolition of the previous restrictions on the status of Shinong industry and commerce, commerce and trade were no longer regarded as untouchables, and the trade tax was the main source of tax revenue for the imperial court, but in the face of the land issue, everyone expressed their worries, worried that such a move might affect the Great Jin Dynasty, so that those wealthy gentry who owned land, including the scholar class, all left here and went directly to the Ming court.

Although the atmosphere of the court is very serious, all the civil and military ministers have expressed their own opinions, they have followed Su Tiancheng for a long time, and know Su Tiancheng's temper and temperament, when it is time to speak, even if you say it, if you have any thoughts and opinions, you can say it, don't worry that Su Tiancheng will lose his temper, when Su Tiancheng makes a decision, he will also say the detailed reasons, which basically convinces everyone, as for the implementation of the policy, you must do it according to the requirements, no compromise.

Su Tiancheng listened to all the opinions, and he really felt that everyone was still worried.

Regarding the matter of commerce and trade, Su Tiancheng didn't want to say more, the specific problems would be solved one by one after they were implemented, and no one could be unpredictable, but he had to convince everyone about the matter of land.

"Regarding the matter of the land being returned to the imperial court, all of you Aiqing have stated their opinions, and you are all very worried, thinking that after the imperial court implements such tough measures, it will encounter strong opposition, which will make many gentry and wealthy families betray the imperial court and will go to the Ming court.

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng, and they also knew that Su Tiancheng must have thought of this problem.

"But have you ever thought about it, during the Apocalypse and the early years of Chongzhen, why there would be a large number of displaced people in Lu, why would there be a rebellion in Lu, and why would Shandong relieve so many disaster victims last year, it was nothing more than a problem in the land, and your understanding of the matter of paying taxes on the land was completely unified, no matter who it was, they all had to pay taxes, I am afraid that you think that through this method, you can solve the matter of land annexation, but this is far from enough."

"During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the land policy was very good, and it was precisely because of that policy that the glorious Tang Dynasty was created, but in less than three hundred years, the glory of the Tang Dynasty disappeared without a trace, and the fundamental reasons for this were said a lot, but I think that the land policy is one of the most critical reasons."

"Land annexation is the direct culprit, when the rogues rebelled, the slogan shouted was also the official gentry to pay the grain, but what is the reason for this policy is difficult to implement for a long time, just because the imperial court is in the hands of the gentry, the policy is determined by the gentry, for a long time, who does not want to seek their own interests."

"I don't want such a situation to happen, after a hundred years, I and you probably don't know how the situation will develop, so I think that under the current situation, the establishment of the system is the most important."

"The benefits of the imperial court having land ownership, you are all clear, this can make the imperial court collect taxes justifiably, whether it is in the face of ordinary people, or in the face of the gentry and wealthy households, what you are worried about is the chaos when the land is confiscated, and you are worried that those gentry and rich households will rebel, there is nothing to be afraid of, whether it is ordinary people, or gentry and rich households, they do not suffer from widowhood and unevenness, as long as the policy is fair, a scale down, there is not much of a problem, as for those who must leave, do not support, I can't help it, but the land policy of the imperial court will never be shaken, and it must be carried out with great effort.
