() Sighed deeply, Sun Chengzong was a little depressed, he naturally agreed with the young Tianqi's idea.He also understood Daming's current situation very well, but things were not so easy.

No matter in what era, those wealthy businessmen must have some inextricable relationship with the government, and many of them are even the work of officials.This phenomenon was particularly serious in Daming, where most of the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River were scholars.No matter whether you start business first or become an official first, at this time, you have me in you, and you in me.Most of the Donglin Party, Qizhechu Party, or people without a clear party affiliation in the imperial court were from these people.Even if they weren't from these people's backgrounds, they have been inextricably linked to these people after they have been officials for so many years.

There is also a group of people mixed in here, that is, the big landlords, and the representatives of these landlords are the vassal kings who were entrusted outside, and those noble lords who have been honored for generations.This is true whether it is the Mu Wang Mansion in Yunnan or the Xu Guogong Mansion in Nanjing.If you want to carry out land reform, you must first face these people.

If the imperial court reformed the land system, the people all over the world might not support it. In fact, many big landlords did not take the land by stealth.Those people are willing to dedicate their land to the landlord, or they are attached to the name of the landlord.At this time, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was chaotic. It can be said that corrupt officials were rampant, and there were countless levies and miscellaneous taxes.

After those farmers who lived on the land handed in these things, the food left was not even enough to feed the whole family, which is exactly what the poem said: There is no idle land in the world, and farmers will die of starvation.Contrary to this phenomenon, those relatives of officials do not even need to pay taxes on their land. In order to curry favor with them, it is very common for many officials to conceal, omit to report, and not collect taxes.This has basically become a customary thing in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not so easy to break these things.

If a civil uprising is provoked, Sun Chengzong believes that it is not only the big landlords who have breakfast, but the common people will follow it under the instigation.There are people with ulterior motives mixed in here, and it is really out of control.

If the Ming Dynasty had no foreign aggression at this time and the armies in various places were also strong, then perhaps it would be okay for Emperor Tianqi to carry out such reforms.But that also needs to be done gradually, such a drastic change is definitely like a landslide, and if you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

Seeing Sun Chengzong meditating there quietly, Emperor Tianqi didn't speak, just watched so quietly.If a country wants to have strong national strength, the first thing is to have money. Without money, it is useless to say anything.

Without money, the army cannot be built, and without the army, foreign aggression cannot be completely solved, then Liaodong will become worse, and it will be a matter of time before the gold enters the customs.

In this era of constant disasters, disaster relief cannot be achieved without money. This is a very serious matter.Emperor Tianqi will never forget that place, that is Shaanxi.

If the financial problem cannot be resolved before the drought in Shaanxi broke out, the imperial court still has no money to relieve the disaster.At that time, there will still be wars everywhere like in history.People like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng will definitely take the stage one by one, and Emperor Tianqi will have to wait to die.

Although I don't know if I can live to that time, even if I only have seven years to be ordered, Emperor Tianqi will change the world.

"Your Majesty, I feel that it is not easy to implement such reforms now." Although Sun Chengzong was unwilling to admit it, he still expressed his thoughts.Sun Chengzong didn't ask about Emperor Tianqi's other reform policies, because they were all moons in the water, and there was no way to implement them.

What Sun Chengzong didn't expect was that Emperor Tianqi was not angry. In his opinion, this young emperor was ambitious.The idea I put forward for the first time was rejected by myself, and I was very unhappy when I thought about it.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile, and said with some helplessness: "Sir, when did I say that I would carry out reforms now, I know what is going on in Ming Dynasty at this time. The court has not yet been cleared, and the border is still unstable. How can I have the energy to carry out such reforms. Such reforms require the backing of the army, and I never thought that when I send troops to counter the rebellion, I will have no soldiers to send."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Sun Chengzong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wrong. Although His Majesty is young, he is thoughtful."

"Sir, don't say that, I just want to know if such a reform is necessary. Now that I know your attitude, I believe that with your support, I can definitely change this country." Emperor Tianqi said The face is full of longing, and the eyes looking at Sun Chengzong are full of hope.

Kneeling heavily on the ground, Sun Chengzong said with a serious face: "I will do my best, and I will die."

"Sir, get up quickly. That's what I said about these things. The matter in Liaodong is still to be resolved. Xiong Tingbi was escorted back to Beijing. I believe that Houjin will definitely take action. I don't know what you think, sir?" Emperor Tianqi He turned his eyes to the map, pointed to the location of Liaodong, and asked Sun Chengzong.

Frowning slightly, Sun Chengzong said softly: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to get through the immediate crisis. Whether it is transferring Xiong Tingbi back to Liaodong, or sending a capable official, Liaodong can guarantee no worries."

Seeing Emperor Tianqi nodded slightly, Sun Chengzong continued: "I am thinking about the future."

"Sir, you can tell me what you think, and I will consider it." Seeing Sun Chengzong's hesitation, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't dare to say it, it's just that I haven't thought about these things very well." Sun Chengzong glanced at Emperor Tianqi, saw him smiling at him, shook his head, and continued: "Minister, once Daming's Comparing the situation with the history, there are many dynasties like this in history, but there are not many dynasties that can resolve such a crisis." Sun Chengzong said a word but did not say that those dynasties that failed to resolve the crisis have basically perished up.

"Sir, please tell me." Emperor Tianqi set up a stool, put it next to Sun Chengzong, and said with a smile.

"I won't talk about those dynasties that didn't solve the crisis. There are two dynasties that solved it and solved it best. One is the Tang Dynasty and the other is the Han Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong faced the powerful Turkic people. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had a strong national power and a great army, and it was expected to defeat the Turks." Sun Chengzong did not say a word, that is, although Tang Taizong defeated the Turks and also conquered Goguryeo, the later Tang Dynasty However, he was still troubled by the Turks for many years, and later there were five random Chinese.
