Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The princes at this time must be well-clothed and well-fed, resting in the palace amidst the service of many servants.

Why are the people?

For them, it should be just a very illusory term.

Why in the world?

For them, it should be just a synonym for rights.

The emperor frowned slightly, but he soon eased up.

He still has time and rights, and they are still in his hands. How about the prince, just like the world in front of him, he can still shape it as he likes...

……

Chapter 7. What happened to the Six Dynasties is only for the family's private plan.

When the emperor lived in the imperial palace and overlooked the world, it was absolutely not difficult to hide many things from the emperor.

Every channel for the emperor to obtain information should not be too easy to do.

What's more, many things don't need to be manipulated or tampered with.

A few spring and autumn strokes, the meaning of the matter is completely different.

And it didn't touch the slightest taboo of deceiving the emperor.

But when the emperor walked out of the imperial palace high in the clouds, when the etiquette and rules represented by the deep palace and high walls could not restrain the emperor, in this world, as long as the emperor wanted to, it was almost impossible to hide anything from the emperor.

In just a short time, Li Ruolian, who walked out of the common people's room, quickly walked back to the side of the emperor, whispered a few words in his ear, the emperor frowned, then waved his hand, and Li Ruolian left again.

Immediately, the emperor didn't stay in the farmer's house for too long, got up and left.

The village is not too small, there are about a hundred families, and the emperor randomly selected two families to explore. The emperor didn't leave the village until dusk was approaching.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late..."

Li Ruolian was worried, so he rode his horse forward, went to the side of the emperor's carriage, and said admonishingly.

"Don't go back to Shenyang tonight, go to Liaoyang."

Soon, the voice of the emperor came from inside the carriage.

Hearing this, Li Ruolian looked around at the howling wind and snow in the darkness, obviously unable to hide his worry, what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

There is nothing he can change about the will of the Son of Heaven.

In desperation, Li Ruolian had no choice but to ride away to find the accompanying Jinyiwei and the generals of the imperial army, and discuss precautions.

In the carriage, the Son of Heaven held a pen and slowly wrote on the book.

A small half of the book has been recorded, all of which are the emperor's handwriting, and the above books are all the advantages and disadvantages that the emperor noticed during the inspection.

Whether it is good or bad, as long as it is not a matter of great importance, usually in the local area, the emperor will solve it.

Of course, many things, such as the problems found in this village today, are nothing more than the most common corruption.

The resettlement benefits planned by the imperial court were withheld and embezzled.

Such things, if in the past, the emperor would naturally be furious, but now, he has been governing the country for so many years.

The Son of Heaven has long been... It should be said that he was almost numb.

Many things, under human nature, cannot be avoided or resolved at all.

The emperor kills one batch, and the next batch of officials, there is no doubt that this is absolutely the case.

But since they are all placed in front of the emperor, there is no doubt that the court's laws do not allow violations and challenges.

Of course, such things do not require the emperor to do it himself.

Being an official is all about seeing.

When the Son of Heaven visited the village, what he said, what he asked, and what he noticed, the local officials would definitely know everything.

Who should be arrested, who should be killed, and what should be done. If the emperor himself is required to issue an order, then these local officials will be at the end of the day.

It took a long time for the emperor to put down his pen and stare at the paper book on the table. The emperor's eyes flickered, his brows were already frowning with deep thoughts.

From Beijing, to Tianjin, to mountains and seas, to today's Liao Province.

You can't travel thousands of miles, and the real places you can see are only a few prefectures and counties.

Although in the capital, the emperor had already discounted the world described in the memorials.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, the emperor realized that he was still too naive.

In the past, ten points, in his mind, was a discount of seven or eight points.

But in fact, according to what he saw and heard.

In this world, his more than ten years of governing the country have been very effective, and it is a blessing to be able to implement three or four points.

Even if it is the fundamental policy of the country, it has been implemented for the longest time, and the most bloody land tax policy is the same.

The clearest point is that landlords still exist widely, and there are not a few tenants.

However, Daheng's current land finance and tax policy is to prevent land mergers and try to prevent one person, one family, from owning too much land.

The tax is levied according to the number of acres, and the tax rate is set according to the number of acres, which is to prevent land mergers from the root, and eliminate the ridiculous scene that one family can own the land of a county and a prefecture.

Just like the Confucian family in the Ming Dynasty, after the sages, nearly half of the land in Shandong Province is either the land of the Confucian family or related to the Confucian family.

In this way, it can be said that most of the people in Shandong province live by the Confucian family.

Large-scale planting of land is a problem that will only arise when the productivity is innovated to a very high level and the people are rich to a certain extent.

And this problem is by no means the Daheng of today, or even the Daheng of hundreds of years in the future. This problem needs to be considered.

Even if this problem comes, the emperor still firmly believes that if the land is evenly distributed in the hands of the people all over the world, the benefits brought to the country and the people are far better than being concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

After the people become rich, the role of land decreases. No matter how much energy the country expends to solve this problem, the disadvantages brought about by the large-scale concentration of land in the hands of a small number of people are much stronger.

It is very clear that the uneven distribution of resources will inevitably bring about insurmountable class conflicts.

This is the most deadly point.

For a country, among internal and external troubles, no problem is more fatal than this one.

But it is the current Daheng's strict land finance and taxation policy.

In this world, landlords still exist widely, and the so-called heirlooms of farming and education still exist widely.

There are not a few people who hold hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of acres of land.

Where there are policies above, there are countermeasures below.

What this means is undoubtedly very clear.

Either, the imperial government's policy was not fully implemented, or there were local officials who were obsequious and violative, colluding with others, and causing harm to the whole place.

Obviously, all the problems eventually returned to the taboo in the heart of the emperor.

That is... a man of the past...

Tianzi tapped his fingers on the table again and again, and many thoughts seemed to be churning in his mind.

He vaguely remembered how high-spirited and ambitious he was when he took power at the beginning of the year.

Governor of Jingji, in charge of Jingji military, Ge Jingjun, Cha Wuxun.

After reforming the world's military, he made drastic moves and killed people.

What a pleasure.

But the power is getting bigger and bigger, this kind of wantonness, the restraints that are put on, are also increasing, and the scruples are also increasing.

Today, he seems to be able to understand the helplessness of that great man in later generations.

What happened in the Six Dynasties was only for the private affairs of the sect.

This sentence, as long as people still exist, is an eternal necessity, and it cannot be resolved at all...

……

Chapter 7 and six are not ironic

At present, the main body of the so-called private schemes of the sects are those so-called gentry who cultivated and studied in the previous Ming Dynasty.

The emperor knew very well that even his educational strategy, thought reform, succeeded in the end.

Get rid of the disadvantages of the former Ming Dynasty, suppress the atmosphere of the former Ming Dynasty, and transform the gentry of the former Ming Dynasty.

But...it is nothing more than changing from the gentry of the Ming Dynasty to the gentry of Daheng.

The subject still exists, and this subject will still gradually erode over time.

This is inevitable.

And... the most important thing is that Daheng... is far more than a gentry.

Daheng established the country with martial arts, and those martial arts who have followed the footsteps of the emperor into a new era.

Daheng's martial arts, at the moment, seem to be invisible.

But the emperor is also very clear that they don't show their mountains and dews, and it seems that there is no big disadvantage.

That's just because it happens to be in this special era of transition from old to new.

It is because the main body of the current world is still the landlord gentry.

They are, on the one hand, suppressed by the threat of the emperor, and on the other hand, they have not fully adapted to the times. In layman's terms, they are nouveau riche born with mud legs. For a while, they have not yet adapted to the status and power of this transition. It's just passively drifting with the tide under the strong pressure of the emperor.

But... they will always adapt slowly.

Moreover, under the arrangement of the Son of Heaven, although they didn't know what to do, they were walking on a broad road.

business, sea trade...

And in the near future, if Daheng looks overseas, he will inevitably need the conquest of martial arts generals.

The general environment of the world will inevitably change from agriculture to business.

And the merchants, the merchants within Daheng, are all tentacles of Wu Xun's interests.

Daheng's external business, whether it is border business or ocean trade, is inseparable from Wu Xun.

The border is garrisoned by the army, and the sea is maintained by the navy.

The current Wu Xun is muddled, but the future Wu Xun must have a smooth path to the sky.

Nowadays, the gentry and landlords are the main body of the family's private schemes. In the future, Daheng's current Wu Xun, who is still muddled, will inevitably be the main body of the family's private schemes.

The emperor remembered clearly that Daheng Wuxun had three hundred and eight families.

The war is still going on, and it is inevitable that there will be hundreds of families in the future.

Hundreds of martial arts, hundreds of powerful families.

Even if there is a policy of diminishing titles, the inheritance of rights is inevitable under the entanglement of various interests.

And once Daheng embarks on an overseas expedition, driven by huge interests, such an expedition will inevitably be difficult to stop.

Throughout the dynasties, military generals have been lonely. It is because the country is in peace and the rule of law is the main body. Wu is naturally lonely. But once the ocean era opens, the conquests are endless, and the interests are overwhelming, it is impossible for Wu to be lonely.

In this way, hundreds of powerful and powerful families will also be firmly entrenched in the upper echelon of Daheng... and rest with the country!

Coupled with the inheritance of the rights of the gentry and civil officials, each political family...

What happened in the Six Dynasties was only for the private affairs of the sect.

Whatever happened to Daheng was only for the family's private plan.

The so-called governance of the country, all policies can only be implemented smoothly on the premise of preserving the interests of these sectarian private plans.

Eat the biggest meat, drink the most soup, throw a little residue to the people...

At this point in his thoughts, the emperor suddenly smiled, and this smile was inexplicably ironic and funny.

The emperor knows that what he wants to do is not just these, isn't it just for the family's private affairs?

Not to mention that he, the emperor, the royal family, is the biggest secret scheme of the family.

As for all the policies he has implemented since he took the throne, he knows very well that no matter how good the policy is, it is impossible to continue to operate well, and it will inevitably erode slowly over time.

He set countless restrictions on land mergers, spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the overall planning of the world's resources, and did not hesitate to move millions of people to balance the world's population.

He even spared no effort to shake the ideological foundation, promote the development of the commercial economy, and spend huge sums of money to build a navy of unprecedented scale, just to expand overseas and plunder overseas wealth to supply Daheng.
