Chapter 576 There is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below to ask for a guaranteed ticket
The monthly ticket list is so bleak, and it has been exploded again, help! Can someone pull Rollo a hand?
Suzhou Mansion, Humen County Mansion.
The Duke of Humen County is Lin Zexu, and he left a legacy in the name of Humen cigarettes, so after returning to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jishi named him a Duke of Humen County, but he did not arrange any official position for Lin Zexu in the court, but gave him a house in Suzhou for him to live and recuperate. It's not because Lin Zexu was once an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - now the Manchu Tiande Emperor has nominally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, these Manchu ministers are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not second-class ministers, so there is no problem with loyalty.
The reason why Lin Zexu did not go out was because his physical condition was not good, after the operation in Jinan, he did not recover very well, his body was weak, and he could only raise at home, and he could hardly go out. This body is not as good as his old friend in Suzhou, Pan Shien, who is in his eighties. So these days, most of them are Pan Shien who come to visit the door, and Lin Zexu has only been to Pan's Mansion a few times.
"Father, Master Pan, Zuo Zhongtang is visiting."
Lin Ruzhou pushed the door into his father's study, and whispered to Lin Zexu and Pan Shien, who were talking.
"Invite him in, and let someone make a pot of Tieguanyin and send it over." Lin Zexu didn't look up, his eyes were still fixed on the chessboard.
"Shaomu, can you guess why Zuo Jigao came?" Pan Shien picked up a sip of the best Tieguanyin, and asked with a smile.
"There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves." Lin Zexu took out a sunspot and gently placed it on the chessboard.
"Is it self-disturbance?" Pan Shien smiled, "It's disturbing the wealth of the world's corporal doctors, right?" ”
Lin Zexu smiled and shook his head, "Our emperor." After all, it's still not grounded. Do you think we're here in England and France? ”
Old man Pan sneered: "It's okay." Over the years, I have also bumped into it, and I have created a big belongings, which is really in response to the old saying that foreign monks are good at chanting. ”
Lin Zexu shook his head: "It's just that the people have suffered, four years of war, endless military revolution, the world is tired, it should be time to recuperate, but now it is ambitious." We are in a hurry to implement new studies and new policies. And now I also underestimate the world's best people......"
While he was talking, Zuo Zongtang had already walked in under the guidance of Lin Ruzhou. Although Lin Zexu and Pan Shien's officials are younger than Zuo Zongtang, they are Shilin's seniors after all, so Zuo Zongtang still performed the junior salute, and then sat down on a chair next to the chessboard.
"Brother Ji Gao, how come you, the middle hall, have time to come to Suzhou to watch our two old men play chess? Could it be that it's time for Wen Tian to be martial? Lin Zexu asked his son to take the chessboard out of the box as it was, and then looked at Zuo Zongtang with a smile.
Zuo Zongtang arched his hand towards Lin Zexu: "Mu Weng, my prime minister is now a mouse in the bellows, and he is angry at both ends!" Let's be honest, I came to the house today to ask Mu Weng to come out and help. ”
Lin Zexu looked at Zuo Zongtang: "What?" The emperor has a problem for you again? ”
Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly: "There are a lot of problems this time. The emperor wanted to rectify the rule of officials and implement a system of declaration of officials' land and property. It is also necessary to comprehensively rectify the fields in the eight southeastern provinces, not only to slow down the 'injection' and even sweep away the 'short price', but also to prepare to implement the imperial court and the local tax distribution system......"
"What, to do so many things at once? What does the emperor want to do? After listening to Zuo Zongtang's detailed introduction, Lin Zexu was also taken aback.
Zuo Zongtang spread his hands: "I don't understand, Mu Weng, it's really not a secret, I, the prime minister, can't figure out what the emperor wants to do now." said that he wanted to rectify the rule of officials, and he didn't seem to plan to catch a few big greedy people and kill them as an example. Saying that he is for the sake of equalizing the tax burden and avoiding the harm of the small people, he doesn't seem to care about the livelihood of the small people. There is also the tax-sharing system, which is clearly to encourage the officials below to collect more taxes, and the burden of the last is not on the shoulders of the small people in Shengdou? ”
Pan Shien pouted on the side: "Shengdou Xiaomin is bitter at all times, and his life is not good, what can he do?" ”
Lin Zexu frowned and said, "Brother Ji Gao, what do you want to call the old man out for?" The old man's body is ...... bones."
Zuo Zongtang sighed: "Mu Weng, the younger generation wants to ask you to come out and take charge of the cleanup of Liangjiang Tianfu in the name of the elderly." ”
Lin Zexu was silent for a long time before he said, "Ji Gao, do you know that this is a bad government?" ”
Zuo Zongtang nodded: "How can the juniors not know?" Land affairs have always been very troublesome, not only because of the high rent and unfair tax burden. There are so many doorways that I can't talk about them in a day or a night. The emperor is now using the officials' land property to steal the Tian Fu, but he is afraid that in the end, it will be the small people and small households who will suffer. Not to mention anything else, that is, the quality of the land, and the local gentry and officials have the final say? As long as the gentry's kaeda was changed to a shimoda, and the people's shimoda was registered as an upada, the burden could still be passed on. The emperor's new policy is afraid that it will backfire! ”
"Then why don't you dissuade the emperor?" Lin Zexu asked rhetorically.
Zuo Zongtang sighed: "Where can I persuade ...... listen?"
"Then what do you want the old man to come out of the mountain?" Lin Zexu frowned. "If the old man's body is still healthy, he may be able to do something, but now he can't get out of the door......"
"Of course it's a fool!" Zuo Zongtang sneered bitterly, "With Mu Weng's reputation as a guarantee, the emperor is at ease, even if things are not done well, he will die." The gentry below are also relieved, and they can probably be a little more restrained, and always leave a way for the Shengdou people to live, right? ”
Lin Zexu snorted: "Co-author Ji Gao, do you want to use the old man's Qingming as a paste?" ”
……
Ying Tianfu, a leather goods store called Fan's old number upstairs, Sushun, Guerjia. Yuanbao, Bai Enming and others gathered together, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and some people laughed heartily from time to time during the banquet.
"Good! All right! Great! The surname Zhu finally made a stupid move, this is to force everyone in the world to rebel, and force me to the side of the Qing Dynasty! ”
He held in his hand a copy of the just-published "Ta Kung Pao," on which the front page prominently published the three edicts promulgated by Emperor Zhu Da, namely, the implementation of the declaration of land by officials, the rectification of the land endowments of the eight provinces, and the implementation of the reform of the tax-sharing system.
Gualca. Yuan Bao also smiled and echoed: "Zhu Wei is really carried away, he actually made a faint move, it seems that the sky is endless, I am clear!" Sixth master, his subordinates feel that in three years at most, the Qing Dynasty will definitely return to the Central Plains! ”
Bai Enming frowned and said: "It's better to be cautious, Zhu Jishi can create an appearance in this market, but it is not easy to deal with......"
Su Shun snorted: "I know that he is not easy to deal with!" But are the doctors in the world who are good at getting along? He is now making enemies of the world's scholars, and it is only a matter of time before the world's scholars turn their backs on the Ming and the Qing! ”
Bai Enming smacked his mouth: "But isn't there no Qing Dynasty yet?" ”
He and Su Shun, Guerjia. Yuan Bao is different, he already has a net worth of nearly 3 million taels of silver dollars, and he is extremely confident in the future of the real estate business, and after being frightened in Osaka Bay, he has long since stopped thinking about restoring the Qing Dynasty. But Su Shun and Guerjia. Yuan Bao insisted on pulling him into the gang, looking at this situation, it seemed that he had taken a fancy to his net worth......
After listening to Bai Enming's words, Su Shun seemed to have an understanding: "This is also true, now there is no Qing Dynasty, and the scholars of the world can only dare to be angry with Zhu Shun and dare not speak." ”
Bai Enming shrugged: "Maybe you dare to be angry but don't dare to speak, maybe not, it depends on how much Emperor Zhu's new policy can be implemented?" I think that Yongzheng Ye also engaged in the official gentry to pay grain as an errand at the beginning? At the beginning, I also poked a hornet's nest, and then what? Isn't it still with the mud? ”
Su Shun was stunned: "What and mud?" The integration of officials and gentry to pay grain and errand is an unprecedented good governance, which can only be achieved by the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty. ”
Bai Enming smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "If Yongzhengye's officials and gentry had not been reconciled to the mud, what would Emperor Zhu still toss now?" If you want these scholars and doctors in China to pay some taxes, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, and most of Emperor Zhu's reforms are the same as the official gentry paying grain as a single errand, it is the same thing on the surface, and the following is still the same old way! It is impossible for the gentry imagined by Su Shun to rise up, and Emperor Zhu wants to average the tax burden of the people is also a dream. ”
Su Shun suddenly slapped the table at this time and said loudly: "No, I want to see with my own eyes how Zhu Yi used the new deal to harm the people!" (To be continued......)
