Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 550: Dividing people into acres of land (1)

The discussion with the ministers of the Military Affairs Council lasted until late at night. It involved many matters related to Sichuan and Guizhou's rebellion, including many possible problems. Zhu Youxiao explained the key points one by one to ensure that Sichuan and Guizhou were still in progress. If you quell the rebellion, the emergence of some new situations will not lead to major changes in the entire southwest.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night!

Whether it is a special Military Academy or a special Shaofu, including other special or important departments, Zhu Youxiao adheres to one principle, that is, what cannot be handled by foreign departments must be promoted efficiently in these departments!
If there is someone in the foreign court who is trying to push the blame, then find someone who is the counterpart!

If there is an official in the foreign court who has postponed the matter, then find the corresponding official!

Zhu Youxiao didn't have so much time to waste. The Ming Dynasty he faced was a mess, with many disadvantages and many cancers. If he dared to slack off at all, the Ming Dynasty would only have one result, that is, overthrow!

Qianqing Palace is very quiet late at night.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Starry.

All the eunuchs and eunuchs inside and outside the Qianqing Palace, as well as the guards of the Shangzhi personal guard who were on duty, all stood firm in their respective positions, and everything seemed so orderly.

"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body."

In the East Warm Pavilion, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, held a tray and walked to the emperor with his head lowered. He said with concern: "Since you came back from the Wuying Palace, you have been handling state affairs..."

"let it go."

Zhu Youxiao, who was busy at his desk, said calmly.

When Liu Ruoyu saw this, he didn't dare to say anything else.

When serving in front of the emperor, there are certain things you can say and some things you cannot say!

"Have Dong Yingju and the others arrived?"

Zhu Youxiao put down his imperial pen, leaned on the cushion, gently rubbed his swollen temples, and said to Liu Ruoyu.

"not yet."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly said: "Over there at the Qianqing Gate..."

"Go and hurry!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned.

"Slave, let's do it now."

Liu Ruoyu said hurriedly.

Today, we were discussing the Sichuan Guiping rebellion in Wuying Hall. When talking about the construction of a health post, Zhu Youxiao thought a lot. Some deployments in the southwest must be adjusted accordingly.

Policies are never right or wrong.

To distinguish whether a policy is right or wrong or good or bad, it depends on whether it is suitable for the situation!

No system or policy in this world is absolutely perfect.

If there were, there would be no confusion!

Zhu Youxiao picked up the bowl and chopsticks and thought about what he was thinking while eating. Originally, he wanted to wait and see about the matter. After all, if the matter were to be clarified, it would cause quite a stir.

But now there is an excellent opportunity.

If he were to let it go like this, Zhu Youxiao would not be willing to accept it.

Divide into acres!

In Zhu Youxiao's view, allocating the population tax to the land is undoubtedly a good policy. If this policy can be implemented in the Ming Dynasty, it will not only ensure tax revenue and reduce unnecessary losses, but more importantly, it will reduce the pressure on the grassroots!
If you have more land in your name, you will pay more taxes.

Those with less land in their name will pay less tax. If you don’t have land in your name, you won’t pay taxes!

The Ming Dynasty involved land taxation, including taxation at other levels, which was undoubtedly biased towards privileged groups. On the contrary, it did not do enough to protect the lower class groups.

This led to the central financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, and even led to serious class antagonism and serious land annexation in the Ming Dynasty. These must be changed, otherwise it will be impossible to get better!
"I...Dong Yingju, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Mingyu, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"minister……"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, all the ministers in the South Study Room gathered in Dongnuan Pavilion. Without having time to tidy up their appearance, they all bowed to the emperor sitting on the throne.

"I have an idea and plan to try it out in Sichuan." Zhu Youxiao held the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Dong Yingju and the others. "You all have a look first. If there are no problems, we will further improve it and draw up the decree. I will award it to Zhu Xieyuan, Shi Yongan and others.”

Ok?
Dong Yingju and Chen Mingyu had different expressions after hearing this.

Sichuan?

Is it related to Sichuan Guiyang’s rebellion?
Isn't that a matter of the Military Academy?
In Zhu You's school, there are special or re-employed officials who have always followed a system, that is, the separation of civil and military affairs. Whoever has to do the errands must do it well, and they must abide by not crossing the line!
It is not a long-term solution to be noble in culture but noble in military affairs, or to be noble in culture but noble in military affairs.

The only way to achieve both civil and military benefits is the kingly way!

"Dividing a small family into an acre?"

After Dong Yingju and the others took the documents from Liu Ruoyu and saw what was written on them, Dong Yingju's expression changed, and he even blurted out subconsciously.

Zhu Youxiao, who was eating his dinner, raised his head and glanced at the reactions of Dong Yingju and the others. He knew that if this thing was really done, the impact it would have would be huge.

After all, Dong Yingju and the others were considered very open-minded, but when they saw the tenants entering their property, their reactions were more surprising than anything else.

Time passes minute by minute.

"I came up with the idea of ​​sharing the land with Wei Guangxu and others at the Wuying Hall when we were discussing the Sichuan-Guiping rebellion. I spent too much food and salary on the Sichuan-Guiping rebellion army and other places."

Zhu Youxiao, who had eaten and drank enough, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Dong Yingju and the others, "In order to resolve this matter, I have asked Wei Guangxu and the others to start planning for the restructuring and construction of the Sichuan Health Center."

"But in my opinion, these alone are not enough. After all, She Ni and An Ni are making trouble in Sichuan and Guizhou, and I have seen a lot."

"One of the most important things is that the people under the Ming Dynasty were burdened with too many taxes, especially those bankrupt groups who didn't even have land in their names and relied on renting land to make a living. Some even rented land. If they don’t come, how will they pay taxes?”

"This is still in the peaceful times. Once a disaster occurs in the local area, these people seem to have no other way to survive except being forced to a desperate situation and finally choosing to confront the court."

Dong Yingju and Chen Mingyu's expressions were a little complicated.

What the emperor said is true.

But the issue of sharing one's own property is too big!

"Your Majesty, I think that sharing the land with a small family is indeed a favorable policy!"

Dong Yingju gathered his thoughts and bowed to the emperor: "If it can be tried in Sichuan, it can solve many problems, but there is no precedent for this matter. Not to mention our dynasty, even the previous dynasty... it has never happened."

"I am a little worried. If this kind of favorable policy is really to be tried out in Sichuan, whether Zhu Xieyuan and Shi Yong'an can implement it well. After all, luxury and rebellion, calming rebellion and suppressing rebellion are the focus of Sichuan and Guizhou right now!"

"I second the proposal!"

Chen Mingyu followed closely and said: "Let's not talk about the current situation in the DPRK and China. Let's just talk about Sichuan and Guizhou. If this policy is tried out in Sichuan, will people with a lot of land under their names choose to fight against this policy? After all, if this policy is to be tried out, they will have to pay more taxes.”

"Yes, after this policy is implemented on a trial basis, it will relieve a lot of pressure on people with little or no land, but the stability of Sichuan is also very important!"

Regardless of the matters involving the rebellion of Sichuan and Guizhou, the ministers of Nanshufang had not participated, but just considering this issue from their standpoint, it is conceivable that the issue of sharing the land with the tenants should really be tried in Sichuan. If so, what impact will it have on Sichuan?
After all, for Sichuan and Guizhou, local stability is more important than anything else. If Sichuan dares to cause chaos, the matter will be serious. If it is even serious, it will most likely affect Sichuan and Guizhou's suppression of rebellion. Once such a situation occurs, it will not only It makes the court very passive and may even aggravate the unrest in Sichuan and Guizhou...
