I am the king of the dead

Chapter 718 Beware of Rebellion

Chapter 718 Beware of Rebellion
Hu Yi looked at many courtiers, was silent for a moment, and continued to speak: "My lords, only when the monarchs and ministers have a compassionate heart can they benevolent and righteous."

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian began to quote scriptures and allusions from the very beginning, and praised His Majesty well.

Then Hu Wei used the changes of the land system in the Southern Song Dynasty to make a long discussion, and even came to the conclusion that His Majesty is a benevolent emperor.

With the slow advancement of the Farm Law, the new policies of the Ming Emperor finally hurt the fundamental interests of some people.

After His Majesty fought the Battle of the Capital, His Majesty implemented several new policies.

There are official examination laws and 95 articles of the "Constitutional Outline and Matters". The establishment of an anti-corruption department to fight corruption and catch corruption is an ancestral law.

There is a new monetary policy. Under this policy, it is completed in the Baoyuan Bureau, Baochao Bureau and Bingzhang Bureau under the jurisdiction of Daming Yinzhuang under the joint jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Households. Specifically, it is the Imperial Silver Coin, Jingtai Tongbao And Baoyuan Bureau accepts and stores tickets.

Under the simultaneous development of sea and land, there is also the restoration of the Ming Dynasty's official factory and the opening of the sea. The Shibo Department's management of merchant ships will open the sea again, restore the navy, and discuss sea rights.

And the work-for-relief that is being promoted recently, in the understanding of the Ming people, it means that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty launched a large-scale construction project, and the court officials scolded the king of subjugation for the strategy of subjugation, and then scolded the emperor behind his back. Can't say anything.

However, the farm law of the field system, which at first appeared to be no different from the military and health law, finally revealed its true colors as the number of disciples of the Son of Heaven in the lecture hall and lecture hall continued to increase.

This is His Majesty's strength, this is His Majesty's invincibility.

The continuous implementation of the New Deal has finally come to a time when contradictions intensify and tit for tat confrontation.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty went to the property of the [-] clans of "Baimei" in Jiangxi, which caused many different voices in the court.

King Xiang and Minister of Rites cleaned up the land for the Ming Emperor, which was actually to unite the team and unify the hearts of the people, and prevent the loyal Shuntian Mansion from becoming loyal, which would lead to big troubles.

After all, if the hearts of the people are scattered, the team will not be able to lead.

Hu Wei thought about it for a while and said: "I wrote a book on my career in the Ming Dynasty, saying: there are three classes of households: the people, the army, and the craftsmen. It is also said: all the soldiers, craftsmen, and stove households are all employed forever. hereditary."

The household system of the Ming Dynasty is divided into three categories: civilian, military, and craftsman. The servants of military households, craftsmen, and kitchen households (a type of craftsman household) are hereditary.

In fact, there is another kind of household registration in Ming Dynasty, which is called Jianji. The exiled people, the prostitutes of the Jiaofang Division, and the barbarians who did not have a registered household in Daming are all Jiji.

"Do you know what the household system of the Song Dynasty looked like?" Hu Wei asked a question and looked at everyone.

Zhu Zhanqian was a little confused. Why did the matter of establishing an official store go back to the difference between the household system of the Ming Dynasty and the household system of the Song Dynasty?
Shen Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, recalled a little bit, and immediately said: "The household registration in the Song Dynasty is divided into masters and customers. Those with regular production are the main ones, and those with irregular production are customers."

"It is also divided into five-class households based on the amount of regular production. The official households of prefectural and county officials and the first-class and second-class households are the situational households, which are the powerful families."

According to His Majesty, this kind of people are meat eaters who occupy the assigned position.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "What about rural households and Fangguo households? Rural households are divided into five grades, and Fangguo households are divided into ten grades. Dare I ask Shen Shangshu how to divide the ten grades of Fangguo households?"

Shen Yi didn't know why and replied: "Those who live in the grass market outside the prefectural capital of the county are the lower second-class households, those who have property are the ninth-class main households, and those who have no property and live in rented houses are the tenth-class customers."

"Those who live in the outer city are divided into three classes, upper, middle and lower, and those who live in the inner city are divided into five classes."

"Most of the people who live in the city are main households, and they are divided into residential squares."

"What does this have to do with the official shop law?" Shen Yi was naturally familiar with the household system, so he answered quickly.

Hu Yi looked at Shen Yi and said: "Rural households and Fangguo households are divided into hosts and guests, rural households are divided into fifth grades, and Fangguo households are divided into tenth grades."

Taking Daming capital as an example, the east city and the west city are the inner city, and there are households of A, B, C, D, E, and five classes. The closer to the core area, the higher the family status.

The first-class households are naturally the official households of Yongfang, big and small.

If they live in the outer city, they are upper, middle and lower third-class households. The closer they are to the inner city, the higher the family status.

The folk houses outside the city and the wandering people are the second-class households, who live in no fixed place and are employed by the lords in the city.

Hu Yi looked at Shen Yi and asked again: "Shang Shu Shen, the second-class households in the houses outside the city and the grass market are the most numerous, where do they come from?"

Shen Yi said in a daze: "Naturally...the people who lost their land in rural households."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hu's mouth and said: "Since the official shop is in great difficulty, it's okay not to do it. Just drive the rural households to the city to be the second-class households to beg for food. This was done in the Song Dynasty."

Shen Yi shook his head and said: "Then how can it be done? Our Daming is not the Song Dynasty."

"Our tax and tax service in the Ming Dynasty is still based on Zheng Fu, and the tax and tax service in the Song Dynasty is paid according to the level, which is different."

"The "Chongning Fangtian Order" stipulates that the house tax in villages and towns in Zhuzhou counties shall be determined according to the tenth class of emergency, and it shall be paid to see the money. It is said: the method of the tenth class of Guo in Rilaifang."

"According to this, the basis for dividing Fangguo households into ten grades in the Song and Song Dynasties was mainly based on house tax. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no rural households and Fangguo households. This household system is different. People were driven to the city. How can we collect regular taxes?"

Only then did Hu Wei say in a desperate manner: "Although there is no Song Dynasty system in my Ming Dynasty, I am still doing it, so the tax base will be sluggish, and I will be exempted from disasters for many years, Shen Shangshu!"

"I'm talking about the Song Dynasty, so maybe I'm talking about Daming!"

Shen Yi finally came to his senses, slapped the table and stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "I agree with the official shop law! Do it, no matter how difficult it is! It must be done!"

No matter what, Shen Yi couldn't accept it, and couldn't collect the tax!
Hu Wei looked at Jiang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, after the military law was corrupted, there were many people who fled from the military households of the Ming Dynasty. Now the conscription of the Beijing army is mostly from the volunteer training of the farm law. I agree with this matter."

Wang Ao said to Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian: "Your Highness, I just said that there will be redundant staff and corruption problems, and did not say that I disagree with the official shop law. Anti-corruption and corruption must be done together, and we must be strict, otherwise It’s just stripping people’s ears.”

Three of the six ministers have made it clear that they want to do it.

Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, has always been a bit of a fool. Seeing the change of wind direction, he thought for a while and said: "There should be laws to follow, instead of growing wildly like weeds on the grassland."

Then Hu Wei said: "It's difficult to do the official shop, but it's not a day's cold to freeze three feet, you can do it little by little, starting from Shuntian Mansion first, then from point to line, from line to surface."

"If there is a lack of abacus, we will cultivate abacus; if the system is not complete, we can add it; if there is a lack of supervision, the Ministry of Finance can take more burdens. It is not the law of today, and it will not change in the future."

Hu Wei mediated the tense relationship between King Xiang and the courtiers, and took the household system of the Liang Song Dynasty as an example to tell the courtiers that Ming had no choice but to collect rents like the Song Dynasty lying on the household system, and there were not so many The official land rushed to buy, like a court.

After persuading Shen Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Hu Wei closed his eyes again and rested his mind.

Zhu Zhanqian thought for a while and said: "This matter is decided today, and it will be submitted to His Majesty, and all will be judged by the Holy Spirit."

Since the majority of the Official Shop Law agrees to implement it, it is natural to have a good discussion and confirm the rights.

Over the three dynasties, they talked about fighting dendrobium, balance, talisman, benevolence and righteousness. At this time, the Ming Dynasty talked about line system, method, confirmation of power, and measurement.

In fact, it is about discussing rules and formulating rules. Only when the rules are determined can things be handled easily.

The salt and iron meeting this time lasted for a long time, and everyone expressed their opinions and quarreled fiercely, but in the end they still came up with a feasibility memorial, which was printed and sent to Shuimayi by King Xiang after checking that it was correct.

The officials left the entire Yantie Conference Hall, while Zhu Zhanqian, Hu Wei, Luo Bingzhong, and Liu Ji stayed alone.

Hu Wei was getting old, such a long meeting made him terribly tired, and he fell asleep in the middle of the meeting, and slept until the end of the meeting.

When everyone was gone, Hu Ming woke up.

Whether Hu Wei fell asleep or not, only Hu Ming knew in his heart among the people present.

"When one gets old, one's mental head becomes weaker. His Highness laughed at him." Hu Wei yawned slightly apologetically.

Zhu Zhanqian hesitated for a while and said: "Hu Shangshu has worked hard, but there are some things that I don't understand, so please ask Hu Shangshu to clarify."

Hu Wei said quite seriously: "I do know what Your Highness wants to ask."

"I have the guts to ask Your Highness, what is Your Highness to His Majesty?"

This question confuses Zhu Zhanqian, his identity has always been clear, he is the emperor's uncle, and he is the supervisor of the country after His Majesty left Beijing, he looked at Hu Wei in confusion.

It is difficult to get rid of the shackles and see who you really are. Zhu Zhanqian is a person without self. He only wants to survive, but he is not the person who is true to himself.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, there is a system of surrender in the imperial court. Your Majesty presides over the farm law in Nanya. The two-pronged approach, the conflict has intensified to such an extent. The first thing your Highness considers is to prevent someone from rebelling in the name of Your Highness." what."

Will Zhu Zhanqian rebel?Won't.

What Hu Wei meant was that His Royal Highness King Xiang should be careful not to be rebelled.

Zhu Zhanqian's back suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and he said with a strange expression: "I have a submissive heart, and I have never thought of treason."

Hu Ming simply put the words out of the way and said that there are only four of them here.

Hu Wei said with a serious face: "Actually, the counterattack under the Winter Order is counterproductive. The reason why His Majesty was able to make a big southern tour is because His Highness is in charge of the country."

"His Majesty's heir is too young to bear the great responsibility. If His Highness falls, will His Majesty still be able to leave Beijing?"

"Your Majesty can't leave the capital, because the dragon is stuck in the shallows."

This is not complicated, if His Majesty hadn't come to Nanya in person, the Winter Preface of Ming Dynasty would only intensify.

Zhu Zhanqian rubbed his fingers together and said, "They just added the yellow robes to the orphan, and they don't accept it, what else can they do?"

Hu Wei immediately asked back: "That's right, they added a yellow robe to His Highness, and His Highness can not accept it. But if they kill His Highness, what if they put His Highness in a yellow robe?"

"What they want is not for His Highness to rebel, but for His Highness to die because of the yellow robe and trap His Majesty in the capital, and he will be trapped in the capital for a long time."

"If Prince Zhide has the intention of treason, then His Majesty may not be able to get out if the prince supervises the country in the future."

Hu Wei's words have already opened up the skylight to speak clearly. Hu Wei, who is well versed in the dangers of political struggle, of course knows these dirty tricks. It doesn't matter if King Xiang is willing or not. If you kill you and put on a yellow robe, you are plotting treason Great crime, suicide in fear of crime.

Zhu Zhanqian finally understood what Hu Wei meant, and said sincerely, "I would like to be taught."

Hu Wei still said with a little worry: "If I want to defeat the emperor, what should I do?"

"I will report to His Majesty that His Royal Highness King Xiang conspired to rebel, and His Majesty will not believe it."

"But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will surely blossom and bear fruit. It doesn't matter if His Majesty believes it or not, as long as His Majesty knows that His Highness is planning to rebel."

"I'll send someone to get some fish to write on silk with Danzhu, get some foxes to make ghost calls, get some stone carvings, and write two unclear sentences."

"At this time, the poets in the capital's poetry club, who write articles for money, are creating public opinion, saying that Prince Zhide is the king of the world. There is no need to make up random things, just boast about His Highness's achievements."

"At this point, His Royal Highness King Xiang still has the time to implement the surrender system, and does he have the time to implement the official shop law?"

"It's not over yet."

Hearing this, Luo Bingzhong finally couldn't help but said loudly: "It's not over yet! This... is so vicious!"

Hu Mei continued: "Find a few more refugees, say they came from Xiangyang, Guizhou, and Daningwei, and send a few Wanmin umbrellas to His Highness. Naturally, the courtiers will also congratulate His Highness."

"Is this a cluster of flowers?"

"At that time, hire a group of wandering people, kneel down at Chang'an Gate, and invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!"

"No matter how His Highness responds, once he kneels, His Highness will be immediately put on the fire."

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will return to Beijing. Your Highness, are you against it or not?"

Zhu Zhanqian was silent for a moment and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! When the time comes, Gu will kneel at the Chaoyang Gate, and his majesty will kill and cut him. Thunder, rain and dew are all for the king's favor!"

Zhu Zhanqian found that he couldn't cope with such insidious tricks, and he didn't dare to rebel, so there was only one way to do it, show off!
Whether to live or die, it is all up to His Majesty to decide!

Hu Min picked up the teacup, put it down again, Liu Ji immediately changed Hu Min to a new cup of tea, sat upright, and listened to Hu Min's vicious strategy.

Of course Liu Ji knew that this 50-year-old evergreen tree called Hu Wei was vicious, but he never expected it to be so vicious.

Hu Wei pondered for a while and said: "If the abolished prince Liu Shi and Li Chengqian have the consciousness of His Royal Highness, how can they create a rebellion between Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

"It doesn't matter if His Highness sneaks into Prince Xiang's mansion. At that time, there will be some movement to assassinate the king. It's really not good. A torch will be set on the gunpowder warehouse of Wang Gong Factory at the root of the imperial city. Your Highness, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Zhanqian stared blankly at Hu Wei and said, "Gu, Gu... Go to death, let's die to clear the head office!"

Hu Yan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "The death of His Highness is not a one-off."

"When the time comes, Your Majesty will go back to Beijing to investigate. The fish-belly pills, foxes, stone carvings, pens, refugees who gave umbrellas to the people, wandering people who kowtowed at Chang'an Gate, the assassination of the king, the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, all of them It was arranged by the nobleman's residence, and there is only one nobleman's residence, and that is His Highness's Prince Xiang's residence."

"Your Highness, the yellow robe is not necessarily a robe. When the coffin is finalized, His Majesty can only be an attempted treason."

Hu Wei still saw that there was no blood in the murder, and added: "Your Highness is still the emperor's uncle."

Zhu Zhanqian's face was like gold paper, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a word.

"It's too vicious! It's too vicious!" Luo Bingzhong muttered to himself with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Hu Wei said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have a plan."

 The Song Dynasty did not set up a land system, so they could not help but merge, buy official land, and then use the fifth class of rural households and the tenth class of Fangguo households to collect rent. This is a complete fiscal system of the two Song Dynasties. To collect rent on the household system.For detailed information about Fang Guohu in the Song Dynasty, please refer to the paper "The Division of Fang Guohu and Others in the Song Dynasty".Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
