The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Juzheng planned to mention the "One Whip Method", but at this time, although he was ready, he was a little uncertain about what would happen after he raised it. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Ju just wanted to ask Ask Zhang Fan to see if Zhang Fan can give him an idea.

But obviously, in Zhang Juzheng's view, it was a bit difficult to handle, but when it came to Zhang Fan, it became extremely simple, and Zhang Fan's idea was actually nothing, only one sentence, That's just strong pressure.

In fact, this is all because Zhang Juzheng is thinking too much. With his current status in the court and the power in his hands, if he wants to promulgate a decree, the biggest difficulty is actually the consent of the Queen Mother Li. As for other people, those court officials Whether the people agree or not is not something he should consider at all.

Of course, this approach will naturally arouse the resentment of many people, but it also depends on what it is. If you just want to dominate the government and act arbitrarily, this approach may be quick for a while, but But it can't last long, and there will be retribution at that time, but if it is a good thing, maybe people's opposition will be relatively loud at the beginning, but it will gradually disappear in the future.

But Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" is not the case. In fact, this "One Whip Law" is naturally a good thing for the court and the people, but it is not for those people in the court. What makes them feel happy? After all, once the "One Whip Law" is released, then, apart from other things, those people who have a lot of land under their names will definitely be in trouble soon.

There are many such people among the people, but most of them are just rich people. Of course, because land matters are somewhat sensitive after all, so even if they are not afraid of those local people, but in the middle of the court It also needs someone to take care of it, so these people have bribed a lot of ministers of the DPRK and China.

However, if the "One Whip Law" is implemented, no matter how much money these people bribe, it will be useless. Those people will definitely not ruin their bright future just because of some small money.

But the problem is that in fact, these so-called important officials in the court, the court officials, have a lot of land in their names. In this era, especially in the Ming Dynasty, people were firmly trapped on the land, and the land It has become the foundation of people's survival. Therefore, no matter how pure and ascetic a person is, he will have the idea of ​​having a piece of land of his own.

Of course, this kind of thinking cannot be persisted. Some people may be satisfied because of a piece of land, but some people are becoming more and more unsatisfied in the process. Therefore, it was originally just a small land. However, as conditions changed and personal ambitions increased, in the end, more than half of these people in the court became big landlords.

And once the "One Whip Law" is implemented, for these people, it will be more than just dissatisfaction. After all, the first item of the "One Whip Law" is actually to re-measure the land of the whole country. Come on, no matter how well it is hidden, the land is the land, and it cannot be hidden. By then, all the land in Gaoyou will be clear. If these people don't want to get burned, then they can't be more. To put it bluntly, it is their own. The land originally under the name of these people will all be regarded as unclaimed land, all will be taken back to the court, and then distributed to the peasants. This is something that makes these people feel extremely painful. .

Of course, in addition to the kind of people who would rather cut off a piece of meat and calm down, there are actually people who are stubborn and don't want to take out anything, and this kind of people will definitely die worse when they wait until that time, after all, this is It is equivalent to the obvious annexation of land, let alone the issue of whether the "One Whip Law" will be promulgated. The court has been investigating this matter before, and if something happens at this time, it is not self-inflicted. Zhang Juzheng wants to come I also wish that such an early bird could stand up and set an example.

That is to say, those people in the imperial court would probably block the implementation of the "One Whip Law" after all. After all, it was simply cutting their flesh, so they were naturally unwilling.

This is what Zhang Juzheng is worried about.

However, Zhang Fan is not worried about this issue at all. In his opinion, this is the easiest thing to do. Even if the people below disagree, so what? The queen mother and Zhu Yijun agreed first, and those ministers, no matter how much they disagreed, so what, the matter would never be left to them.

Of course, in fact, the reforms and new laws in history are not always like this. Basically, someone proposed them, but all the ministers of the court opposed them, and then they can only be implemented with the consent of those in power, and they must be difficult to implement. Yes, and after the actual effect is produced, although the intention of opposition is gone, the voice will be much smaller.

As for what will happen in the future, in fact, history has already proven it.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't think about it, but he didn't think about it so much. Now, he only needs to get the consent of the court.

Now, Zhang Fan's method has also made him understand that it is almost impossible to get people in the court to agree with this matter sincerely. The method is to force it down and get those people to agree.

However, Zhang Fan also has other ideas in his mind. Although he is now helping Zhang Juzheng with an idea, and he can guarantee that the method he mentioned seems to be a lot tougher, but at the very least, It will definitely work.

It's just that Zhang Fan actually also considered the future problem, that is, whether it can last for a long time.

Think about it, the reason why Zhang Fan was able to come up with this idea now is actually because he believes that Zhang Juzheng's current status in the court is more important than Zhu Yijun, but because of Empress Dowager Li.

But the problem lies in the future. Now, both Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun have a sense of complete trust in Zhang Juzheng. In the future, when Zhu Yijun is in charge in a few years, what will happen then?

At that time, Empress Dowager Li would not be asking too many things, and after Zhu Yijun became pro-government, I am afraid that he will have more ideas of his own. At that time, even if he still trusts Zhang Juzheng very much, but I am afraid that he also has some thoughts in his heart. There may be some thoughts about whether this is really a good thing to do.

Of course, if it's just such an idea, it doesn't matter, anyway, it is absolutely impossible for things to become bad because of an idea.

But if this happens, the seeds of this matter will be planted in Zhu Yijun's heart, and this kind of matter is not difficult for people in the court who are very good at observing words and expressions. Sometimes if someone finds an opportunity to slander Zhu Yijun, even if Zhu Yijun doesn't do anything right away, it will definitely plant a curse in Zhu Yijun's heart. One day in the future, this kind of seed will take root and sprout.

Of course, this was just what Zhang Fan thought in his heart, and he never planned to say it out, but there was a kind of worry in Zhang Fan's heart, worried that this matter might really be as he imagined, just It will really happen, because Zhang Fan has seen some signs now.

If nothing else, let's talk about Zhang Juzheng himself.

Today's Zhang Juzheng is obviously very different from the previous one. Zhang Juzheng in the past was gentle and refined, with a clear mind. No matter what he did, he could hold his breath. Even those who want to slander him very much, he can talk to him calmly.

But Zhang Juzheng is not like that at all now. Although the current Zhang Juzheng has not shown it so clearly, Zhang Fan has already seen many signs. The most important point is that the current Zhang Juzheng is no longer As introverted as he was before, he became a little arrogant.

Moreover, today's Zhang Juzheng is not acting like in the past. He is still stable, but he is not as peaceful as in the past. This can even be seen in Zhang Juzheng's daily life.

What Zhang Fan is worried about is actually that this will harm him. In the future, because of this small reason, his opponent may find a chance to deal with him. Don't underestimate this kind of thing, don't say it. From ancient times to the present, it can be said that from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, there have been many people, no matter good or bad, rich and powerful, because of this reason, they ended up in an end that no one expected. Zhang Fan does not want this kind of thing. I saw a repeat in Zhang Juzheng.

However, for Zhang Fan today, even if he already understood and expected this kind of thing, Zhang Fan has no way to say anything to Zhang Juzheng, and even saying these words may have the opposite effect Maybe.

Zhang Fan can only keep his mouth shut now, and think about when he sees it, no, from now on he has to start thinking of a way, whether he can find a solution to this kind of thing when he sees it.

Of course, Zhang Fan planned to keep silent now, not saying that he couldn't speak, but that he didn't want Zhang Juzheng to know.

As for what Zhang Fan should do, in fact, although he should start planning now, he actually has no plan, after all, this is what he just thought of.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan still intends to put this matter aside and deal with the matter in front of him first, which is the real deal, and the matter on Zhu Yijun's side seems to be not much easier to handle than Zhang Juzheng's side, after all, it is his family's business. If Zhang Fan didn't care about Zhu Yijun's family affairs, he wouldn't be bothered to get involved in this matter.

While thinking about this, drums sounded from the Meridian Gate, and the city gate slowly opened, and it was time for the morning court.
