Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 601 Your Majesty, You Need to Find a Shield for This Matter

The person who came was Wang Chengen, who had taken off the narrow-sleeved tunic robe he usually wore and changed it into a green cap. Wen Tiren almost didn't recognize him when he changed his clothes.

"Hehe, why did the prince come here so suddenly? Could it be that there is some decree from the Holy Spirit? Come, come, please sit in the room!"

Wen Tiren hurriedly walked out of the room and down the steps, then smiled and cupped his hands at Wang Chengen, but he was wondering in his heart: It's getting dark now, why did the emperor send Wang Chengen over?Is there something big going wrong?
Even if there is something urgent, the palace can send a little eunuch to deliver the decree, but it is never Wang Chengen's turn to go there himself.Besides, looking at Wang Chengen's attire and facial expressions, he didn't look like he was in a hurry. How could there be civilian guards behind him?What exactly is going on?

Although the two often meet each other on weekdays, there are very few opportunities to talk directly, and there is no intersection in private.

According to Wen Tiren's usual behavior, even if Wang Chengen's status is honorable, as the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, he would not take the initiative to downgrade and greet him, but now that he has come to his own house, as the master, he can't justify putting on airs.

"Hehe, it's too late to bother Mr. Ge! Can Mr. Ge take a moment to speak?"

Wang Chengen smiled and cupped his hands in return, then motioned back with a sullen hand. Wen Tiren's heart moved, and then he took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Wang, what happened?"

"Elder Ge, don't say anything, the emperor is here! I have already gone to the restaurant to wait for Elder Ge!"

Wang Chengen put away his smile, looked around for a while, and then replied in a low voice.

"Ah? Hurry up, hurry up, go meet Shengjia!"

Wen Tiren was immediately taken aback by Wang Chengen's reply, he didn't have time to turn around and give instructions, and immediately rushed to the front yard.Wang Chengen followed closely behind, and several guards in plain clothes stayed in the main courtyard, prohibiting the rest of the Wen family from leaving the courtyard.

When Wen Wen Tiren hurried to the restaurant in the third side yard, he saw Zhu Youjian in blue casual clothes standing in front of a bonsai in the yard, leaning slightly to watch the criss-crossing qiu in the pot. Zhi, there are several tall guards in the corner of the small courtyard.

"My minister, Wen Tiren, visited the Holy Majesty. I didn't know that the Holy Majesty was coming. I never greeted him from afar. I still hope that the Holy Majesty will forgive me!"

Wen Tiren walked a few steps to come behind Zhu Youjian and bowed to salute.

"Hehe, Wen Qing, please don't be too polite. Today, on a whim, I suddenly realized that today is Wen Qing's birthday, so I came here specially to drop by, and also to have a meal, to taste the dishes at Wen Qing's house!"

Zhu Youjian straightened his back when he heard the sound, turned around and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is able to remember such trivial things despite all the opportunities he has to deal with every day. I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart! Your Majesty, please come into the room!"

Wen Tiren suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked respectfully.

The emperor actually knew his own birthday, and was able to condescend to come to the mansion. This thought alone is really touching.

"Wen Qing, the suzerain vassal matter discussed in Zhaoren Hall today has come into effect, I believe in my heart that this will benefit the country and the people, and after it is implemented, it will be widely welcomed by all circles in Ming Dynasty.

However, this alone is not enough.I came to your house today because I have another important matter to discuss with you.

This matter is of great importance, and I have considered it for a long time before making up my mind, but this matter still needs the approval and support of the foreign court to be the best.

Therefore, I came here specially to consult Wen Qing's suggestions, to see if there are any omissions, if implemented according to this, what will be the consequences, and how should the court respond? Wen Qing can speak boldly and I will act accordingly. change! "

Zhu Youjian returned to the harem after the day's discussion. After much thought, he finally made up his mind to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when all the elite guards in Jinyi were concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, and vigorously promote the full implementation of the policy of gentry and gentry.

After a long period of deliberation and thinking, Zhu Youjian decided that if this strategy is carried out, the opposition in the court will not be too great, and the main opposition will come from the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River and hundreds of thousands of scholars all over the world. .

But history has proved that as long as the emperor's will is firm enough and force is strong enough, all opposition will be suppressed in the end.

The reason why Zhu Youjian believes that there is not much opposition in the court is mainly due to the fact that among the cabinet and ministers, the courtiers from Jiangnan families have almost disappeared. Zhu Youjian is also very clear about the family background of these important ministers. .

Although Shoufu Wen Tiren is from Zhejiang, he was born in a family of small landlords. Although he is not from a poor family, he is definitely not a son of a wealthy family.

After his official career became prosperous, due to various reasons, the already withered Wen family did not see much improvement. The Wen family's fields in Huzhou are only a few thousand acres, and they are not considered a wealthy family in the local area.

Although the Wen family has land in the suburbs of Beijing, it is only a thousand mu.

Lu Xiangsheng needless to say.The Lu family is well-known in Yixing for farming and education. Lu Xiangsheng's grandfather only served as a seventh-rank magistrate, and his father was only a student. Although the family has a large population, the Lu family's land is less than one thousand mu. It is slightly stronger than the owner-peasant.

Although Sun Chuanting came from a family of officials and eunuchs, the Sun family did not occupy much fertile land in Daizhou. The Sun family only owned a few hundred acres of land, and most of the Sun family's assets came from business. Things will not be much conflict.

In the past few years, Chen Qiyu's family has occupied a lot of land after he regained power, but after years of natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Northland, countless gentry families were uprooted by thieves, and the court continued to move the victims out of the country. Now the Northland is full of barren fields, but few people cultivate them.

Although the Baode Prefecture where the Chen family is located has not experienced any major man-made disasters, many local residents have been displaced. Although the Chen family has a lot of land, the grain production is not worth mentioning. This situation will be considered at the appropriate time.

The situation of Hou Xun's family, whose ancestral home is in Shangqiu, Henan, is similar to that of Chen Qiyu. Most of the hard-hit Henan province is in a state of wilderness, and millions of people are migrating to Hubei. The current situation of the Hou family will not be much better.

Most of the rest, like Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen, and the officials of various ministries, were not from rich official and gentry backgrounds. I believe they would not be too opposed to this matter. Even if they had opinions, it would depend on the emperor's face.

With the successive demise of the bandits and slaves, and the implementation of various measures in the past few years, both the officials and the common people have obtained huge benefits and benefits, and Zhu Youjian's reputation has reached its peak. The policy was basically a promise, and almost no one stood up to oppose it. This situation also laid a solid foundation for Zhu Youjian to implement reforms in an all-round way.

Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that the main reason why the implementation of the gentry's one-of-a-kind payment of food will encounter many oppositions is that this reform has touched the privileges of the gentry class and scholars, making them feel that they have become the same group as those untouchables. unacceptable.

Although Zhu Youjian's reform has made concessions to a certain extent and retained some systems at the beginning of the country, the group of vested interests who have been spoiled for 200 years will still express that they cannot accept it.

If you don’t accept it, you have to accept it. The good days of sitting back and enjoying the benefits are over, and it’s time for these people to pay for this country.

"If the Holy Majesty does this, I don't have much idea, but if the Holy Majesty does not want to cause too much trouble, it is better to find someone who is in the early stage, so that he can advance and retreat freely in it!"

After serving the food and wine, tasting several dishes with relish, and toasting Wen Tiren with tea instead of wine, Zhu Youjian expressed his strategy and ideas. To his surprise, Wen Tiren didn't show it. He showed an expression of shock, but fell into thinking after being slightly stunned.

After frowning and pondering for a while, Wen Tiren made up his mind. He raised the wine glass with both hands and toasted Zhu Youjian. After drinking the wine in the glass, Wen Tiren put the wine glass on the table and said slowly .

"Haha! Wen Qing really deserves to be the chief assistant of the court! What I see is slightly the same as mine!"

　Thanks to a little sword fairy and Lan Shuyue for the reward.

　　The title of the book I pushed yesterday was wrong. It should be "The Straight Man of Steel". It was written by the same author. The old book I pushed yesterday is the author's old book. Welcome everyone to appreciate it.
