Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 162: What I mean, who agrees, who disagrees?

  Chapter 162 My meaning, who agrees, who disagrees?

  Zhang Gui couldn't help but stepped back a few steps.

   But he still stared intently at the face in front of him that had been haunting him for a long time, and felt that this face was a little more stunning than the one he had seen before.

   Shang Jingwei just smiled shyly.

   A pair of big watery eyes blinked.

  Zhang Gui sat back.

   After waiting for a while, Zhang Guicai turned around and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"

   "I'm afraid you don't like it."

  Zhang Gui came over, sat beside Shang Jinghui, turned to her, and held one of her catkins: "How could I not like it?"

  Shang Jing has a slight dimple and light dew, his cheeks are like rouge, and he doesn't speak.

Zhang Gui didn't say any more, and slowly moved over. Although they hadn't met each other a few times and hadn't spoken more than ten sentences, the pretty face in front of him and the atmosphere set off by the red candles and vermilion tents still made people feel uncomfortable. It seemed that his soul was already being hooked away.

   Gradually, Zhang Gui's breathing became heavier and heavier.

   And Shang Jinghui also blushed even more for a while, his chest was bumping like a deer, and he was twirling the hem of his clothes, not knowing what to do.

  Suddenly

  Zhang Gui slowly moved his body down, and began to peck lightly on his peach-like tender muscles.

  Up to this point, the two of them naturally felt like ducks to water that night, very comfortable.

   Even in the next few days, the two will be newlyweds, like glue.

But Zhang Gui was not too obsessed with Gentle Township. After Xia Yunyi came to Beijing to report on his work, he came to see him and mentioned to him that after the new policy had been successfully implemented in Guide Mansion, he knew that the new policy would have to take a more critical step .

Therefore, he couldn't help saying to Xia Yunyi: "Since the implementation of the new policy in Guide Mansion is not bad, next, the new policy will be promoted in the whole of Henan, and if it is to be promoted in the whole of Henan, it will involve the issue of suzerains and vassals. Wang Duo, especially in other prefectures in Henan except Guide Mansion, most of the fields are owned by vassal kings, and to implement the New Deal on the fields of these vassal kings means that not only the interests of officials and gentry will be damaged, but also The benefit of the suzerain."

"What Hou Ye said is that, in fact, the clan is the main force that feeds the interests of the world, especially in Henan! Now it's up to His Majesty, whether you are willing to let the clan and vassals also pay for their errands! Otherwise, I am afraid that the new policy will not be able to continue to be implemented. "

   Xia Yunyi said.

"If you don't know the land of Zhang Zong and the vassal, and let the Zong and the vassal also follow the errands, how can you convince the people? Besides, the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where the country will perish if it doesn't completely reform and eliminate the disadvantages. It can even be said that other people can't bear to cut profits, but The clan must bear the pain and reap the benefits!"

   "Because once the Ming Dynasty falls, the gentry and common people still have the possibility to survive!"

   "However, except for one or two members of the royal family who may be called honorary support and show grace like canaries, but are actually monitored alive, the rest of the royal family's children are impossible to survive!"

  Tianqi expressed his views when Zhang Gui talked to him about the reform involving the interests of suzerains and vassals.

As the emperor, Tianqi obviously has a very clear insight into the whole world, maybe Wanli or Taichang mentioned it to him, or he has received some formal emperor education, knowing that the expenditure of the Ming Dynasty's royal family has greatly dragged down the entire empire finances! It even affected the problem that the national destiny of the entire empire seemed to continue.

   Therefore, Tianqi now expresses his support for the implementation of the New Deal, and there is no need to show mercy to the suzerains and vassals.

   "What your majesty said is that if that happens, if the new dynasty still supports a few clans, it's just to tell the world that other people who call the clans of the previous dynasty are fakes, so that they can kill the children of other clans."

   Zhang Gui then replied.

After Tian Qi nodded, he gave instructions to Han Yu who was also in front of the imperial court: "The cabinet will use what I just said to issue an edict to the vassal princes of the world to let them understand the truth. If I deal with it strictly, it will not be regarded as punishment for not teaching!"

   "Follow the order!"

  Han Yu replied.

But Zhang Gui said at this time: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, since the next reform of the New Deal involves the interests of the suzerains and vassals, it is better to advance the reform of the suzerains and vassals. Among the suzerains and vassals, there are actually those who are deficient, such as the children of the distant clan, many of whom are also extremely poor, and the main factors are the exploitation of the great vassals and the too little salary from the imperial court, as well as the fact that the family has a large population and cannot do many things. To become rich through occupation. The New Deal does not necessarily regard all suzerains and vassals as hostiles, to eliminate them, and to push them all to the side opposing the New Deal. Side. After all, although the suzerain vassal will be the cause of the world's disasters, it is also the foundation of the stability of your Majesty's family and country."

  Tian Qi realized after hearing that Zhang Gui seemed not satisfied with harming the interests of the suzerain vassal, but wanted to reform the suzerain vassal system, so he asked, "Tell me, how do you want to reform the clan system?"

   "Continue to relax the restrictions on the duties of the remote clans, allowing them to enter the imperial examinations, even join the army, or do business!"

   "After all, the remote clans have very little advantage in usurping the throne, or even none. Their foundation is often not as good as a general with thousands of private soldiers."

"As for the near-branch clan, because of their special status, there should be some restrictions on their duties, but they cannot be allowed to be decadent and only know how to reproduce. In this case, one is because they only know how to reproduce. The burden of raising the clan has increased too fast, so that the increase in the state's money is not as good as the increase in reproduction! Second, once the world really has police in the future, it can't be that the king in danger has no one to rely on, right?"

   Zhang Gui asked after speaking.

Tianqi nodded and looked at the other policy ministers of the policy department: "The reform of the vassal clan is indeed necessary. The policy department should come up with a charter as soon as possible, and let Xia Yunyi preside over the affairs of the policy department and discuss the reform of the suzerain vassal He has stayed in Henan, so he should have a better understanding of the local situation of the far branch and the near branch vassals."

"yes!"

  Yuan Keli from Zhizhi Department replied.

   Next, through Zhang Gui, Han Yu, Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang, Lu Xiangsheng, and Xia Yunyi, after heated debates, the regulations for the suzerainty reform were agreed.

  Regulations further relaxed the restrictions on the ministry of the distant clan.

It is also required that the near-branch clan must receive unified education from the imperial court before they can join the vassal, and it is required that the near-branch clan must be in the field of academic study (including natural science research), medical treatment, education, art, engineering, navigation, exploration, archaeology, etc. It is strictly required to choose one of the high-ranking ministries as the main job, and you can also choose multiple side jobs freely, and allow these close clan clans to engage in occupations related to these majors.

  In addition, the imperial court’s salary for the clan will also be changed to a basic salary and an incentive salary, among which the incentive salary will be distributed according to the contribution of these clans in the various occupations they choose to engage in.

   That is to say, for the near-branch clan who do not have any social contribution but only want to be raised as pigs, they can only get a basic salary, and their hereditary titles will be gradually reduced.

  When such vassal reform regulations were promulgated in the form of imperial edicts, even though the reform did not involve officials and gentry, many courtiers were still dissatisfied with it, thinking that the imperial court was disrupting the ancestral system.

  However, even if the courtiers were dissatisfied, they dared not object again.

   After all, the current restructuring is supported by the emperor, and the emperor now holds military and financial power.

   And at noon on this day, Tianqi also asked Xia Yunyi to give him a report on the implementation of the New Deal in Guide Mansion in the court hall.

  Nominally, Xia Yunyi reported to Tianqi, but in fact, Xia Yunyi’s report at this time also let the cabinet ministers and ministers of Ming Dynasty know the situation of the New Deal, and then know how popular the New Deal is.

Then, Tianqi also promoted Xia Yunyi as the governor of Henan in front of the officials, and asked him to carry out the new policy in the whole of Henan. ?”
