Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

Extremely shocking!

Zhu Di, who was next door, was deeply shocked by this sudden and unimaginable countermeasure.

After a long time.

Zhu Di took a long breath and said with emotion: Although I know that Jiang Xinghuo is very knowledgeable, he dares to think about things that ordinary people dare not think about, and mention things that ordinary people dare not mention. It is an inappropriate metaphor. It is just like the unconstrained style of the poet Li Baibai. It’s like a Tang poem.”

But whether it is summing up principles from various people's livelihood phenomena, or using principles to propose solutions and policies, it is always reasonable and well-founded, which is deeply convincing!

Zhu Gaochi, who was wearing the prince Yan Mou's clothes next to him, listened quietly and was also deeply moved.

As a slave, the true saint Jiang Xinghuo is reincarnated!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be stable, and there is no risk of the country being destroyed like the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty!

What's more, Jiang Xinghuo's proposal of dividing labor into acres actually puts the bulk of the work on the landlord class in disguise. After the country has obtained economic and social benefits that far exceed unpaid labor, it has further reduced the burden on the homesteaders.

Then the question now is. Zhu Gaochi turned around and asked Zhu Di solemnly, Now that we have a method that can be used for both one and all eternities, do you dare to use it?

Zhu Di put his hands behind his hands and looked at the ceiling of the secret room and just sneered.

At the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was decided to impose heavy taxes on the south of the Yangtze River. The rich and powerful people in Su, Song, Jia, and Hu prefectures rebelled. Emperor Taizu Gao was killed by the butcher's knife, and heads were rolling in.

now.

My sword is not bad at all!

Zhu Di, on the other hand, issued the order directly.

Please let the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi listen to the order and don't have to kneel.

My son is here! Zhu Gaochi looked serious and bowed slightly.

Zhu Di looked calm and said briefly.

Starting from now on, we will prepare a plan to implement the rural labor service system with the Su, Song, Jia, and Hu prefectures as pilot projects.

After it is implemented, anyone who dares to disobey or obstruct the plan will be killed without mercy!

Zhu Gaochi looked excited and said loudly.

My son, take your orders!

Ji Gang, who had been standing silently behind a few people and listening, suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

In a daze, Ji Gang seemed to have seen the scene where Zhu Di's imperial pen threw countless Jiangnan academic gentry into the Three Clan, Jiu Clan and even the Ten Clan and their families were destroyed not long ago.

Zhu Di has never been a good person!

Zhu Di is a hero of his generation!

Zhu Di was a decisive and resolute emperor!

Whoever he wants to kill will leave you with no chance to resist!

Ji Gang couldn't help but mourn for those unlucky ones. I'm afraid they would soon become the least valuable part of the mountains of evidence piled up on Zhu Di's case table, right?

Separated by a wall.

Also completely shocked!

Li Jinglong muttered to himself in despair.

It's so simple?

It's that simple, how many lives can be saved! Zhu Gaoxu also sighed. He is also a living person. Being cold-blooded and ruthless on the battlefield is his instinct as a professional soldier, but it does not mean that he has no sympathy.

Actually, it's that simple.

Jiang Xinghuo's so-called shared labor into the home actually came from the one whip method updated by Zhang Juzheng 170 years later, which was just an upgraded version of the attack on the gentry.

Zhang Juzheng's method is that the government will use the taxes collected to recruit the laborers that each state and county needs every year, and no longer transfer civilians to them for free.

In addition, the land tax and labor services that had been collected separately since the early Ming Dynasty were combined into one, that is, a variety of labor services, including Jia servants, corvees, miscellaneous servants, Li Chai, etc., and were compiled into one article, which was merged into the Xia and Qiu Dynasty of Tian Fu. Both taxes are levied together.

The general editor is one article, so it is called one whip method.

Since the appointment of Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty has swept away the declining trend since the Jiajing Dynasty, just like a seriously ill patient who was given a strong dose of medicine and suddenly came back to life.

The people no longer suffered from heavy corvee labor. Although more taxes were collected to replace the corvee labor, the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty improved rapidly, and the people's morale was even more lifted. Everyone praised Mr. Zhang Ge for his good work.

As for Zhang Juzheng's transformation, Wanli denied Zhang Juzheng as a person but did not abolish his government.

That is, everything must be looked back to its source. There is never water without a source or a tree without roots.

Without the national strength that Zhang Juzheng had accumulated in the past ten years, how could Wanli Zhongxing be possible? How can there be three major campaigns of Wanli that waste money like releasing floods?

Just because Zhang Juzheng abolished unpaid corvee service, Zhang Juzheng should not only sit in a 32-carat sedan chair, but also sit in a 64-carat sedan chair.

——Because the people carrying the sedan chair are people.

Moreover, since Zhang Juzheng was able to abolish unpaid corvee labor, don't think that it is impossible to abolish many things that oppress the people.

Corvee service is not eternal, and nothing is eternal.

If so, long live the people.

Li Jinglong suddenly looked at Jiang Xinghuo, stood up and bowed to the ground.

Mr. Jiang. No, Mr. Jiang, the student has been taught.

Jiang Xinghuo was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly got up and helped him up.

It doesn't have to be like this. Jiang Xinghuo said with a wry smile, It was my fault just now and I shouldn't have been angry with you. It's just that your words about complaining about the people really made me feel angry and resentful. To be honest, I He has endured hardship.”

Li Jinglong nodded, and Jiang Xinghuo said again: I'm not a hater of rich people. I'll get angry at you when I see you come from a rich family. There is no such thing as inherent fairness in this world. If there was, your father's generation would have followed Taizu Emperor Gao to found the country. Wouldn't it be in vain? Is your merit achieved in vain if you bleed?

Li Jinglong said he was ashamed, and when he mentioned his father's generation, he even lost his composure. He wondered if he thought of his father, who was a hero all his life, and felt that he had embarrassed him.

Jiang Xinghuo seemed to talk a lot today.

I actually have some selfish motives of my own when I'm giving you a lecture. Jiang Xinghuo said calmly, I have my own reasons for dying, but I want to leave something to this world.

Gao Yu.

Mr. Jiang. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little scared.

Thank you for taking care of me in prison these days. I know in my heart that if it weren't for you, the jailer would definitely bully me. It may not be intentional, but how many prisoners in the prison are not bullied?

It is because of you that I was able to comfortably spend my last period in prison. I am very grateful. So in the next few days, before my execution, I will try my best to clarify what I have learned throughout my life. Teach you the knowledge you can leave to this world.”

If you are released from prison in the future, have made a great career, and become a prince or a marquis, then on the premise of protecting yourself, please write what I have taught you to the emperor, or publish a book to spread the news to the world. Your name is all. You paid for me to give lectures, and I don’t need a posthumous name.

Even if one or two ordinary people like me who have endured hardships can live a better life than the world without me, I feel that I will die without regrets.

I don't care for anything else. Jiang Xinghuo finally said sincerely: I am just a traveler who has been soaked in the rain and always wants to leave an umbrella for future generations.
