() After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said to Sun Chengzong: "What do you think, sir? How should Xiong Tingbi's matter be resolved?"

Sun Chengzong glanced at Emperor Tianqi, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, these matters are your Majesty's business, and I dare not say too much. But I believe that Your Majesty will be able to do well."

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi felt warm in his heart, the old gentleman really trusted him.With a slight smile, Emperor Tianqi continued: "Sir, in the past, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, and Zhuge Wuhou had three parts of the world before he was born. Later, when Wuhou came out of the mountain, he also acted according to Longzhong's rules. I don’t know what your husband thinks about my future, Daming?”

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to ask such a question. Although he had many thoughts in his heart, he really didn't know whether he should say it or not.Since ancient times, companions are like companions to tigers. If he really speaks out, will this young emperor support him with all his strength, and will he end up the same as Zhang Juzheng, the Jiangling minister back then?

Seeing Sun Chengzong's eyes flickering constantly, Emperor Tianqi sighed deeply. The experience of this old gentleman was quite rough.It seems that Emperor Wanli left a deep impression on him, and he doesn't really believe in himself!Suddenly he seemed to think of something, Emperor Tianqi came to the opposite side of Sun Chengzong slowly, and said respectfully: "I am enthroned, and the state of the country is really disturbing, please teach me." Said Emperor Tianqi bowed to Sun Chengzong arrived.

"Your Majesty, I killed the old minister." Sun Chengzong quickly fell to his knees and said loudly, regardless of his own thoughts.At this time, he really felt the determination of Emperor Tianqi, and also felt the absolute trust of the young emperor in him.

Gently helping Sun Chengzong up, the Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "No matter what you want to say, sir, you can say it directly. Even if I become the target of public criticism one day in the future, I will not push you out. Even if the country is overthrown one day, I will I won't blame Ai Qing, sir, don't worry!"

Sighing deeply, shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chengzong bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, as long as I live, I will be your Majesty, and I will never regret it!"

"Okay, sir, don't worry, sir, I will repay me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay him as a soldier of the country." Emperor Tianqi was also a little excited. These upright people are his future reliance and the cornerstone of his realization of his ideals.

"That's what I said." After glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong continued: "Da Ming is in a very difficult situation at this time. Internal natural disasters continue, and the external world is also precarious. If His Majesty wants to rejuvenate Daming, the first thing to do is to clarify the situation of the court. No matter which party they are, as long as they are loyal to the country and for the common people in the world, His Majesty can reuse them. On the other hand, we must severely crack down on party disputes, and eliminate those who occupy the court for their own self-interest. The officials of the church are all cleared."

Giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong said: "What I said next is just some thoughts, your Majesty doesn't need to take it seriously if you think it's wrong."

"Sir, if you have something to say, you can talk freely today!" Emperor Tianqi smiled, pulled Sun Chengzong back to the chair, and walked to the side and sat down.

"I feel that innovation should be carried out, and the new policy of Zhang Juzheng, the minister of Jiangling, should be carried out again, so as to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation and rehabilitate the new policy." Sun Chengzong was very careful when he said this, and even regretted it when he said it. This is what Emperor Tianqi said about himself Grandpa is wrong.As the saying goes, if you don't stay close, I'm afraid that if you do this, you will be the only one who complains.Once this policy is introduced, the one who will be attacked at that time is definitely not Emperor Tianqi, but himself!Can this young emperor really withstand such pressure?

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I think so too. The New Deal of Jiangling Xianggong back then was a good way, especially the whipping method, which is a rare good policy, but I I don’t think that’s enough.”

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, what was this young emperor thinking?not enough?So what is he going to do?

"Sir, I have some ideas now, but I still don't understand them. Can you explain to me, sir?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile. He liked this old courtier very much. This is a treasure!A figure of national treasure level.

"The old minister is all ears, but it's all right, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong saluted Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

"I have two main ideas, that is, both agriculture and commerce should be taxed. I don't tell you that Ai Qing may understand that the money in the world is in the hands of those people, those gentry and rich, those scholars and officials. These people It has embezzled most of the world's money, made people's livelihood miserable, and the national treasury is empty." After finishing speaking, Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with burning eyes, he knew his own weaknesses, and many of his ideas were good and correct.But yes, yes, it may not be possible to implement it.Emperor Apocalypse needs this old man in front of him to find a way for himself that can be implemented one day.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"I love you, but it's okay to say it." What Emperor Tianqi wanted to hear was the truth, and since Sun Chengzong wanted to speak, it was naturally the best thing to do.

"Your Majesty, that is chaos in the world, and rebellions are everywhere!" Although Sun Chengzong knew that what Emperor Tianqi said was right, things were not so easy to handle!Those rich and powerful merchants, and even the vassal kings from all over the world are the best merchants and the biggest landlords in the world. It is not so easy to grab things from these people.

Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Sun Chengzong to say that. He thought that Sun Chengzong would express some policy opinions, so he was slightly taken aback.Seeing Sun Chengzong looking at him with scorching eyes, Emperor Tianqi had a little understanding in his heart, this is testing himself!

"Sir, don't be like this. I've already made preparations to go with thousands of people. Even if the country perishes because of it, I won't hesitate." What was burning in Emperor Tianqi's heart at this time was a flame, a flame of struggle, because Excited, his body couldn't help shaking.

After pondering for a while, Sun Chengzong said: "Then what does Your Majesty want to do?"

"In the future, only one kind of agricultural tax will be collected, that is, the field mu tax, and taxes and fees will be levied according to the amount of the land. Zhenhui will reform the official system and establish a new tax office, which is separated from the existing local administrative office. The annual tax is all Turn it over to the state treasury, and then the state treasury will distribute the land in a unified manner according to the cost." Emperor Tianqi threw out his own ideas, and he has been thinking about these things for a long time. Although it cannot be implemented now, he must think about it. Do it one by one.

Today's Chapter 1 is here.I suddenly felt a little tired, going to work and writing books every day, so tired!There are always people who say this and that, and suddenly feel very tired.I don't know when it was put on the shelves, but suddenly I feel a little far away, alas!Please comfort, please warm your heart!
