Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 706 Great Achievement (2)

There is a big difference between Emperor Chongzhen's explicit reforms and the reforms of previous dynasties, which involved in-depth reforms in the fields of politics, military affairs, economy, and culture.

The deepening reform in each field involves many separate levels. The key is that these levels are intertwined and connected with each other, and the difficulty is beyond imagination.

Just like the deepening reform in the field of politics, it involves land, laws, tax laws and other aspects. The key is that reforms at these levels will also involve deepening reform in the fields of economy and culture.

This also led to the objective fact that the current state system of Ming Dynasty had intertwined functions and powers and scattered powers. After all, there were many things that needed to be mixed with sand, otherwise they would not be promoted at all.

Reform is difficult.

Restoration is difficult.

But no matter how difficult it was, Emperor Chongzhen had to go on this road, otherwise, if he gave up halfway, it would intensify the overthrow of Ming Dynasty.

"It's really hard for the Qing family to be the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the Luohan bed and looked at Xu Guangqi who looked tired, "There are many things, I know that the Qing family has burdened and endured a lot.

not understood.

questioned.

endure abuse.

This is especially the case when it comes to the rectification of officials. I can understand the difficulties of the Qing family, but there are still some things that need to be done.

If it is said not to be done, then the meaning of the existence of the court is almost negligible. After all, there are some things that are known to be impossible, but still have to be done. "

Xu Guangqi's mood is very complicated.

After taking the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, he expressed incomprehension of many things in the past, especially the various behaviors of the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu. At this time, Xu Guangqi can understand and understand.

Difficult.

It's really hard.

Compared with what you see on the surface and what you come into contact with, the most terrifying things are invisible, but you have to consider and weigh them.

"The minister is the minister of Ming Dynasty, the minister of His Majesty, and it is the duty of a minister to do these things."

Xu Guangqi restrained his mind, bowed slightly to Emperor Chongzhen, and said: "I am the chief assistant of the cabinet, not because I want to be an official, but because I want to do more practical things for the Ming Dynasty, and to help His Majesty share his worries."

"I am really pleased that the Qing family can say that."

Emperor Chongzhen said with emotion: "Once things like atmosphere are broken, it is actually very difficult to change and reverse them.

Land acquisition is also good.

It doesn't matter whether it is officialdom.

In fact, in the final analysis, there is one thing, that is, the conflict of interests, the dispute of ideas, this kind of struggle, no matter in any period, it will not dissipate.

The Qing family first read these two memorials, one is a farmer’s household, and the other is an official and a gentry who pays food and works as an errand. After reading it, the Qing family will be able to understand what I think. "

Officials and gentry pay food and work as one?
Xu Guangqi showed a puzzled expression.

Sun Chuanting is well aware of what Sun Chuanting tried out in Henan.

This matter is very controversial between the ruling and opposition parties, even now it is still very big.

After all, this violates the interests of many groups.

But what is it that officials and gentry pay food and do errands together?
With all kinds of doubts, Xu Guangqi frowned and flipped through the memorial, carefully looking at the memorial that Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu presented to the imperial court.

The more I looked, the more shocked.

The more I watched, the more excited I became.

The shocking thing is that the trial implementation of the stalls into the mu is just the beginning, and the officials and gentry hidden behind the one who pays food and works as errands are a complete set of combined punches.

If the above two trial new policies can be properly combined, this will play an effective role in combating and restricting privileged groups.

What is exciting is that if the above-mentioned concept can be implemented, it will bring great changes to Daming, such as land mergers, fiscal revenue increase, etc., can be effectively improved.

"His Majesty……"

Xu Guangqi couldn't hide his excitement, and looked up at Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your family, listen to me first."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "When it comes to the true meaning of these two new policies, I have told very few people, and even fewer people in the government and the public know.

The reason why I told the Qing family these things is that I want the Qing family to understand that what I have been doing is actually carrying out reforms on Daming.

However, it is actually very difficult to accomplish these things.

After all, it touches the vested interests of many groups, and this is also the root cause of many maladministration and cancers in Ming Dynasty.

It is actually very difficult to make them spit out the fat in their mouths.

Therefore, in order to promote the idea of ​​reform, it is necessary to constantly transfer contradictions and rectify the administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty. In a sense, it is transferring contradictions and grafting risks.

Of course, rectifying the administration of officials is something that the country must do, but how to grasp this degree is the most critical thing. "

Xu Guangqi understood Emperor Chongzhen's plan for reform.

That is, Daming has many things to do and many things to change, but in view of the problems and contradictions accumulated before, a seemingly chaotic, but actually stable order is needed to constantly divert attention, so that some people can benefit the country and the people. Policies can be effectively tried out under relatively little pressure.

One has two.

It can be effectively tried out, summed up the corresponding experience and lessons, and further improved the New Deal system, so that the scale and scope can be continuously expanded.

"What does Your Majesty need the minister to do?" Xu Guangqi who wanted to understand this, his eyes became firmer, stood up from the Arhat bed, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"I need the Qing family to be the chief assistant of Qingtian."

Emperor Chongzhen said firmly: "One can play a coordinating and coordinating role at other levels, but only in the rectification of officials must we achieve a stern and selfless image.

In the next five years, or even longer, the cabinet must become tougher in its attitude towards rectifying the administration of officials, so that everyone will not dare to be corrupt, lazy, or slack in politics.

Of course, I also know that it is difficult to do this, but there are some things to do. If we say not to do it, can the country and society of the Ming Dynasty be passed down smoothly? "

After Xu Guangqi became the chief assistant of the cabinet, he realized the difficulty of this position.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, he had no way out, no matter how difficult it was, no matter how hard it was, he had to take it up, otherwise what awaited him would be extremely bad consequences.

The country is overturned.

Death to the throne.

This is the most serious consequence that he, a great son of tomorrow, will face.

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Guangqi bowed in response.

The accumulation of background and confidence now made Emperor Chongzhen dare to take action to rectify the administration of officials.

At least Emperor Chongzhen will not be afraid of the rectification of officials in the northern provinces. Even if there is a rebellion or other bad situations, Emperor Chongzhen will be able to face it calmly.

As for how hard the northern provinces are tossing, as long as the southern provinces are not involved, even if these rectification measures are likely to have an impact in the future, but until the last moment, in fact, for some groups, they dare not take it seriously. tearing face.

This is the reality of the unified centralized feudal dynasty.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen’s road to reform can take root in the northern provinces, he will be able to control a lot of sovereignty when facing the status quo in the future. This is Emperor Chongzhen’s idea of ​​reform. Therefore, we cannot rush to forcefully implement the New Deal.
