Nanming: I can build wonders

Most of the students are passionate young people, so they must be strictly supervised, and it is strictly forbidden for students to stop taking exams or school.

"Once the integration of officials and gentry is really promoted, it is almost inevitable for students to go on strike and strike demonstrations, because the reforms of Ming Dynasty have damaged their interests."

"Your Majesty, the solution to this kind of behavior is also very simple, just include it in the list of 'illegal students' and stop the examination qualification forever."

Hey guys, second blacklist!

Yang Ying, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has a numb scalp, the emperor proposes a blacklist of unlawful judges, and the prime minister proposes a blacklist of illegal students.

The Weng and the son-in-law have big eyebrows and big eyes, so why is one of them worse than the other?

'Unlawful judges' and 'unlawful students', once these two blacklists come out, they are really big killers.

"Very well, the prime minister will be in charge of organizing the House of Representatives to draw up a plan for the integration of government and gentry!"

At this moment, in the cabinet, everyone is studying and formulating a specific implementation plan for the integration of government and gentry.

How to implement it really stumped them.

Because there is no way to pay both officials and gentry.
And officials and gentry, some of them are officials!
Let them do their own research and hack themselves, and His Majesty will give them difficult problems all day long.

Is it because there are fewer wonders to build, so that His Majesty has time to think about other things.

Therefore, some officials molested Lu Fan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry: "Shangshu Lu, can't you think more about the project and make Your Majesty busy?"

Lu Fan will not take the blame.

"That's wrong. The wonder project is all blueprints drawn up by His Majesty himself, and I have never proposed it!"

This group of wicked fellows is almost like saying that he, a treacherous official, fooled His Majesty into building things all day long.

God is sorry, he has always followed Zhu Kezang's rhythm!

He also wanted to say to Zhu Kezang: Your Majesty, the spectacle is detrimental to the country!

But when the words came to his lips, he was very honest and didn't say anything, because he also felt that building those wonders was very fulfilling.

"Everyone, don't interrupt, our Lu Shangshu is an honest person, let's think about what to do!"

Yang Ying stood up first, looked around, and said, "Let's talk about the officials first. Since we can't decide for a long time, then let's just follow the tax collection method and set a specific amount!"

"It is acceptable to collect corresponding silver taels according to the official's income, even if it is only one-tenth or one-twentieth."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ying, Shangshu of the Household Department, turned his eyes away, and then added another sentence.

"The important thing is to satisfy His Majesty!"

Then Yang Ying sighed helplessly, and immediately turned his gaze to Chen Yonghua, as if he was asking for Chen Yonghua's opinion.

"If the policy of integrating government and gentry to pay food cannot be formulated for a long time, His Majesty will be angered by then, and no one can bear the consequences!"

"My lord, what do you think?"

Chen Yonghua also agreed with Yang Ying's words, nodded slightly, and said firmly.

"Masters, this matter cannot be dragged on any longer. It must be settled as soon as possible, otherwise things will change!"

"If it leaks out, it may cause accidents!"

When he said this, he retracted his gaze and immediately added.

"After the matter of integrated grain payment is settled, the officials in the central government of our court have to take the lead to set an example for all officials!"

Hearing this, Wang Fuzhi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said with emotion.

"Yeah, if I don't take the lead in this matter, the officials in the world may have great opinions."

"I don't know how scholars in the world will evaluate us at that time!"

Hearing this, Chen Yonghua smiled, and turned to say: "How else can you evaluate, anyway, His Majesty has the bottom line, besides, this world was brought down by His Majesty, and their twittering, is it useful?"

After hearing what Chen Yonghua said, everyone felt much better.

Your Majesty will tell them the truth, what are they afraid of!

Dare to babble, I'll beat you up in minutes!

Soon, everyone began to formulate the specific rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food. In the end, the results were as follows.

"Article [-], officials and landowners and gentry must pay taxes!"

"Article [-], anyone who pays less or even does not pay taxes without special circumstances shall be dealt with in accordance with the laws of Ming Dynasty!"

"Article [-], the taxes that officials and landlords and gentry need to pay are determined according to their income."

"Article [-], when taxes are collected in the autumn, a special agency is set up to provide the people with a complaint against the gentry. If it is proved that a gentry acts as a lawyer or middleman, colludes with the government and oppresses the common people, it will be included in the list of 'illegal gentry'."

"Article [-], all those who have meritorious officials and gentry who take over money and grain but are in arrears, and those who take the lead in resisting grain, no matter how much, will have their merits removed, and will be included in the list of 'non-judges and gentry' from then on.

"Note: The direct descendants of the 'no judge gentry' are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. And those who take over arrears to more than a few guan will be punished as corruption and perverting the law, and their arrears and interest rates based on the time of arrears must be paid accordingly. .”

The implementation details will not be listed one by one.

In addition, at the request of Chen Yonghua, the implementation rules regulated the relationship between tenants and landowners, such as giving gifts of Wanmin umbrellas to officials and gentry, and also prohibiting the retention of local officials.

In addition, it is also forbidden for farmers to sell themselves and landlords to become servants of the world as "zhuang slaves", forbid landlords to force farmers to bear hard labor, forbid landlords to abuse farmers, and forc Tenancy contract (rent reduction and interest reduction in disaster years, farmers pay rent and interest).

The detailed implementation rules also require digging out land hidden by officials and gentry through clearing up land and contracts, depriving some big landlords and officials of illegal properties and distributing them to farmers, or recognizing the land that farmers seized privately during the war.

Moreover, in lawsuits involving land disputes, the "Implementation Rules for the Integration of Officials and Gentlemen to Pay Grain and Errands" tends to favor the common people, ensuring that the tillers have their land, helping the common people to support themselves, and further dividing the power of the officials and gentry.

Looking at the detailed rules that have been formulated, Chen Yonghua and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that it was correct, Chen Yonghua summoned a confidant official and gave orders in a deep voice.

Immediately, he sighed again, wondering if this memorial would cause local unrest once it was actually implemented.

No matter what, this matter must be pushed forward, because Confucianism has always had an ideal, that is, to realize the land to the tiller.

What's interesting is that in history, it was the most hated Daqing that realized the sharing of the land into the mu, the integration of the government and the gentry, and the return of fire consumption to the public.

It can only be said that they produced the good emperor Yongzheng.

In Kangxi's later years, there was a phenomenon of slack in government, the imperial treasury was empty, and the government was corrupt. The so-called "Kangxi prosperous age" existed in name only.

If it hadn't been for Yongzheng's efforts to turn the tide, I am afraid that in history, the Qing Dynasty would have perished in less than a hundred years, just like the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning.

"Send this to the imperial study immediately and see what His Majesty has to say."

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Hearing this, the confidant officials were about to record the memorial that recorded the detailed rules for the integration of officials and gentry, and took it quite solemnly, without stopping for a moment, and left the Senate quickly.
