Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 117 Kill, let them kill with confidence, I am their most solid backing!
Zhu Youxiao listened very seriously: "I understand the meaning of the master. The common people have no land, but some landlords and gentry occupy a large amount of land. They would rather let the land go barren than use it for farming. It doesn't matter if they are full. None, this food can be exchanged for a lot of silver when it is released!"

During this period of time, Zhu Youxiao also opened his eyes.

Just looking at his own Huangzhuang, he can understand the truth of this.

Do these gentry and landowners care about how much grain they have in their fields?
They don't necessarily care!
What they really care about is how much silver they can exchange for their food.

Either exchange the silver for more and bigger land, or bury the silver underground.

"Sage is invincible, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Haogu flattered him, and then continued: "Land is actually valuable if it is left uncultivated. The less arable land is, the higher the price of the land in their hands. This is a moat for them. They You only need to hire a few tenant farmers and grow very little food, and you can naturally maintain your identity and status!"

"The moat, that's a pretty good analogy!" Zhu Youxiao nodded.

Zhang Haogu said: "The most damning thing is that these people don't pay the fee. How many moths and insects are there in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty? The purpose of this stall is to force them to be honest. Really hand over the food!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly.

Reason, he understands!

It’s just that Zhang Haogu enjoys talking, one mouthful of special codes, one mouthful of insects, it’s too much for my appetite.

"also!"

Zhang Haogu said: "My minister thinks that it is not as good as returning the consumption and envy to the public. The essence of returning the consumption and envy to the public is to increase taxes. As long as the tax is not received by the landlords and gentry, this tax will eventually be imposed on the common people. So , less resistance, high success rate!"

"However, Your Majesty, it's not the same to spread it out across the country. We can't spread it all over the country at once. The resistance is huge, so we need to have a pilot, and then gradually spread it out!"

Zhang Haogu said: "So the emperor needs to have his own basic plan, and this basic plan must be supported by the people, so he has to choose, where can be divided into mu, and where is easy to implement!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly: "Master thinks the north is the most suitable?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Exactly, the north is the most suitable place, so this batch of alternate officials should be placed in the north, there are mainly two places, one is Shandong, and the other is the capital. Promote!!"

"why?"

Zhu Youxiao was a little curious.

Zhang Haogu held back for a while, and then said: "There are fewer vassal kings in the north!"

Zhu Youxiao also understood.

It's really not good for this knife to be cut on the clan's body.

Although, all along, Daming has been pursuing a policy of raising pigs, offering delicious food and drink for worship, but this knife is really not easy to cut on the clan's body.

If it really happened, Zhu Youxiao would also feel a headache.

Clan relatives, hundreds of officials get together, it will be troublesome.

The best way is to maintain the status of the clan first and appease them well, and when the knife is sharpened well, it's time to kill the pig.

The policy of distributing a piece of land to an acre should be implemented from places where there is little resistance.

The capital is also North Zhili and Shandong, and the resistance of these two places is the least.

Shaanxi and Shanxi are not very good either, and they are easily robbed by the Mongols.

Only Beizhili.

Beizhili is still a little bit safer now.

Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan are all in their own hands.

Beizhili is considered safe.

North Zhili, Shandong these two places have few princes.

Speaking of which, I still have to thank Zhu Di for this matter. After Zhu Di won the throne, he learned his lesson and gradually reduced the military power of the feudal king.

In order to deprive the military power of the vassal kings, they must first be moved from the border areas, otherwise the vassal kings have good reasons to resist the court's power reduction.Therefore, Zhu Di moved a large number of feudal kings to hinterland areas such as Henan and Huguang under the slogan of giving benefits to the feudal kings and letting them go to the inland to enjoy happiness.

And when enfeoffing new vassals, priority is given to enfeoffing to these areas.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty since Zhu Di basically arranged the princes to the hinterland areas of Henan and Huguang.

The capital, Shanxi, and northern Shandong are the most suitable places to start farming.

It's okay, Zhu Di reserved a few places for Zhang Haogu to do a little bit of business.

But, come to think of it, fuck it.

But as long as Zhu Di solved the vassal king thoroughly, Daming would not be so rotten as it is now.

Thinking about it further, you, Zhu Yuanzhang, don't separate the kings, and there are not so many things.

The second is that the contradictions in the north are fierce.

The more intense the conflict, the more it is a double-edged knife.

People's hearts are the easiest to buy, and they are also the most eager to change their current living conditions.

They are easily attracted by the slogan that Chuang Wang came and did not pay the grain, and they are also easy to accept the policy of dividing the land into the mu.

As for the south's rash use of spreading the money into the mu, it may not be able to buy people's hearts. This is a knife on the basic board of the Donglin Party. I am afraid that the Donglin Party will incite the people to rebel.

However, when carrying out pilot projects in the north, the resistance will be relatively small.

However, it is only a little bit smaller.

The road ahead is extremely difficult, it can be said to be full of thorns, if you don't keep it straight, you will die with the dog emperor for no reason, but Zhang Haogu has a feeling that he is eager to try.

As long as the settlements are settled in these two places, the imperial court will have enough soldiers and money to rectify the Nine Sides directly.

Zhang Haogu is also very clear that the return of consumption and envy to the public is a tax increase, and the sharing of households into the mu is the real cutting of flesh, a real blow to the gentry class.

Even if it is a pilot, they will obstruct it.

Once the pilot is successful, it means that it will be promoted across the country. If they can agree, they must not.

However, Zhang Haogu also understands that this is the best opportunity.

In a few years, Northern Zhili will not be so safe. Huang Taiji can kill you directly to the capital and make the Yisi change. At that time, the land of Gyeonggi will start to be unsafe.

Now is the best time to spread your fortune.

As long as there is enough food, as long as the salary is enough, and it can be guaranteed to be delivered to the soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is the strongest.

"Your majesty, I think that now we still need to catch the big and let go of the small, deal with the corrupt officials in the north, and deter the corrupt officials in the south so that they don't dare to be corrupt!"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "When a crop of non-greedy people goes up, we can make drastic cuts and divide the population into the mu. At the same time, we can also train new troops and rectify the frontier troops. Externally, we can wipe out Jiannu, and internally , clean up the government and the public, punish corrupt officials, make the people of the world rich, and return the government and the public to a bright future!"

Zhu Youxiao's mood was agitated immediately, and he said quickly: "The master is right, let them kill, and go to kill with confidence, I, is their most solid backing!"

Zhang Haogu just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you also need to exercise your body to strengthen your body. This new policy involves too many interests. Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, so that the new policy can be carried out without hindrance!"
