Number of romantic figures

Chapter 565 Can Zhang Juzheng follow the T-shaped scroll? (The third asks for a monthly pass!)
It's just that this third step seems to be a bit far away now, and it seems a bit too loud to say it rashly, and it seems to be too ambitious, so you have to think about it.

Seeing Feng Ziying holding the cup and groaning silently, Guan Yingzhen didn't press her.

Kai Haizhilue pointed out that this child must have had some calculations, but more and more content was filled in later, which probably exceeded Feng Ziying's expectations.

It is estimated that after a lot of things were slowly spread out, it was discovered that there was a gap here and a gap there, and it was slowly filled in. Only in this way can it support what can be called the largest policy outline after Emperor Yonglong's ascension to the throne.

However, in Feng Ziying's view, this is not a policy outline at all, it is purely a countermeasure brought out under emergency. Before that, it was to solve the counter-insurgency in western Xinjiang and the relocation strategy. Safety, and then finally connect the opening of sea trade with debt and taxation, forming such a four-different.

The imperial court in this era basically has no decent strategy for governing the country, let alone the purposeful strategy of modern state governance, collecting information—investigating and researching—proposing policy opinions—specifically implementing—contrasting feedback—revising and improving ——It is basically impossible to sum up this kind of political method, or it is more like a simple inertial action. Some steps fit some of the links, but in fact, no real and proactive measures are taken to solve the problem fundamentally. .

Basically, it adopts emergency management and follows the previous system. If there is a difficult problem, it will find a way to solve it. If there is nothing special, it will make do. It is more like a small country with few people. How can a great empire of thousands of miles be resolved by inaction?
"Officer, um, if you make such a request, if the disciple shirks or talks about him, it may appear to disrespect you. But the disciple has gone to Xijiang in the past two years, went to Jiangnan, and is also in the Imperial Academy. I have contacted a lot, and even communicated with the cabinet ministers and many colleagues in the six ministries, and I do have some ideas, and I hope to incorporate some ideas into the strategy of opening the sea.”

Feng Ziying sorted out her thoughts, Guan Yingzhen was a more practical person, different from Qi Yongtai's slightly idealized and upright and Qiao Yingjia's realistic and slightly philistine, he paid attention to both the heart and deeds.

"Before answering your question, can the disciple ask you a few questions first?" Feng Ziying asked suddenly.

After being taken aback, Guan Yingzhen smiled mockingly at himself, "Well, isn't it right for a student to ask the teacher? But what Ziying said must be some tricky or difficult questions to answer. Well, the teacher knows everything. , or just answer the teacher’s point of view.”

"What do the officials think of the current situation in Dazhou?"

Official Yingzhen had anticipated Feng Ziying's question, and replied calmly: "It can't be said that it is in danger, but it can also be called that it is difficult."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was somewhat disapproving, Guan Yingzhen knew that the other party felt that he was too optimistic, but he still insisted on his point of view. The background of Da Zhou was still there. Even though there were many problems, they were not out of control.

Feng Ziying continued to ask: "What do the officials think are the main dangers?"

Guan Yingzhen didn't hesitate, "Jurchen threats from outside Jianzhou are increasing day by day, and the Tatars are still powerful. Although they are not obvious now, once they recover or meet one or two lords of bears and tigers, they will become the armpit of the Great Zhou. troubles, but these are not the most dangerous, including the Great Zhou crisis."

"Oh?" Feng Ziying's face was calm.

"The imperial court's financial resources are exhausted, but the food and wages for the nine borders are increasing day by day, the annexation of land in various places is becoming more and more common, and the people are paying more and more taxes. As a result, many common people are cast under the gentry's family, and the gentry hide their land and population. The increase in population and the bad weather in the past 20 years in the Northland have resulted in constant floods and droughts. If there are one or two major disasters, the imperial court's ineffective relief may cause chaos,..."

Guan Yingzhen paused, "The rebellion in Ningxia, if the court hadn't dealt with it effectively, I'm afraid it would have led to a catastrophe beyond control, but even so, the hole has been poked and needs to be made up, otherwise, the court would not have opened it." Hai borrowed money to seek change."

"Master, is there anything else?"

Guan Yingzhen hesitated for a moment, "The relationship between the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yizhong and the emperor is complicated and confusing, which is also a hidden worry."

I didn't say much, but Feng Ziying understood it in seconds.

"Then what is the main cause of these situations?" Feng Ziying asked again.

This question is somewhat difficult to answer.

Guan Yingzhen didn't evade, and he didn't intend to evade in front of his disciple.

Now that you have come out to become an official, you will inevitably encounter these things, and you don't even dare to face them directly, so why do you talk about doing things?
"There are many reasons. The weather in the north has been really bad in the past 20 years. There have been seven droughts in almost ten years. The people's resources have been exhausted, while foreign enemies have continued to expand, such as Jurchen, and the Imchen Japanese Rebellion has also brought a lot of burden to the court. Well, there is another reason. In the late period of the Supreme Emperor's reign, he was negligent and extravagant, which directly led to the mediocrity of officials in the court and the middle class, and the prevalence of corruption,..."

This official teacher really dared to say that Feng Ziying admired him a little more.

"Population growth also brings some problems. In some places, there are more people and less land, such as Fujian,..., and the output of rice and wheat per mu has not increased significantly since the Ming Dynasty, which also forces the people to find more ways to make a living,..."

Almost, Feng Ziying's perception of Guan Yingzhen has deepened, he can perceive the long-term impact of unfavorable weather, he can see the pressure brought by population growth, and he dares to speak bluntly that Emperor Yuanxi's indolence in government in the middle and late period brought The hazards are enough to show that Guan Yingzhen has the standard of a qualified official.

"Officer, what you said is what I learned from my observations, but I think the key lies in two points. The court's tax revenue has not increased but decreased, and the people are suffering from increasing conflicts, and the border defenses are under increasing pressure. The contradiction between the increase in food and salaries brought about by the court and the increasingly depleted fiscal revenue of the imperial court is actually a problem if you carefully analyze the two contradictions. The population of the people is increasing, but the basic necessities of life such as food and cloth to meet the needs of the people are increasing. Weak, once there are natural disasters, rebellions, wars, etc., it will immediately detonate and break the already tight string."

Guan Yingzhen took a deep breath, "Do you think Kaihai can solve these problems?"

"It can't be solved fundamentally, but it can be alleviated, or it can buy some time for us to find a solution, or in other words, to solve the problem we just mentioned, we need to adopt multiple strategies at the same time. Not one method or one strategy can completely solve it. .” Feng Ziying shook her head.

"Oh?" Guan Ying raised his eyebrows.

"For example, opening the sea can expand sea trade, increase court taxation, alleviate the pressure of the empty treasury, and at the same time open up the Denglai-North Korea-Ezo-Haixi and Savage Jurchen business routes, and support Haixi and Savage Jurchen to harass Jianzhou The rear of the Jurchen can reduce the pressure on our frontal battlefield in Liaodong, buy us time, cultivate the East, and even the land of Ezo, and relieve the pressure of refugees in areas that have suffered from natural disasters for a long time to a certain extent..."

Guan Yingzhen interrupted Feng Ziying, "Ziying, what you call gaining time, so I would like to ask, what can we do to gain time? How can we change the increasingly difficult situation now?"

Guan Yingzhen got to the point.

Feng Ziying always said that time is won, time is won, what can be done, how can we improve the predicament?
The situation is getting worse and worse. Even if the Jianzhou Jurchen's offensive can be harassed by Haixi and the wild Jurchen, or even negotiated peace with the Mongolian left wing, what can it do?
It is still difficult for ordinary people to make a living. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, they may be in desperate situation, and if there are monsters like the White Lotus Sect fanning the flames, it may be another rebellion.

"What the officials and teachers want to ask is how to solve the increasing tax demands of the imperial court and the increasingly difficult living conditions of the people. Well, a large part of it is the contradiction between increasing taxes and taxes?" Feng Ziying said indifferently.

Feng Ziying also hit the nail on the head. In fact, this problem was explained too much in the Internet forums in the previous life. In the final analysis, it is the problems encountered in the development of productivity and production relations.

According to the traditional theory, it is the reincarnation of dynasties, natural disasters, plagues, and wars, which will cause the population to drop sharply, and then the winner will be king, and the new dynasty will continue; A combination of paths can ease domestic conflicts.

Of course no one wants to go with the former one, but does the latter one make sense in Da Zhou?

In the previous life, Zhang Juzheng's reforms also collapsed in the middle way, which lasted for decades for Da Ming, but can Da Zhou do it now?

It may not be enough to just clear the land, and it is possible to relieve the pressure by going to Yongzheng's stalls into the mu. Has the budding productive forces and production relations of capitalism been interrupted and delayed?Or an improved road that combines the two organically?

Feng Ziying felt that if she wanted to follow Zhang Juzheng's path, she might not have 20 years to raise her hopes and accumulate.

But can Da Zhou survive for 20 years?

Without the continuation of the reforms like Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen seems to be more ferocious than in the previous life, but the little ice river comes more frequently, and Feng Ziying is really not sure if she can survive it.

So even if I can't do it now, but I have to point out a way for those I can influence and push them to try to do it first. Maybe I can stand on the shoulders of giants in the future and pick up a fallen peach?
It's a beautiful idea, but Feng Ziying knows very well that she probably has a lot to do.

"Master, I have two ideas. It depends on what you think should be done when and what to do." Feng Ziying told me frankly after thinking clearly.
