The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Zhang Fuhua came to Beijing to serve as Minister of War, and many officials visited him one after another.

Yang Suishou, the minister of Dali Temple, and Li Tun, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Personnel, and a group of five people came to visit the house with gifts in the name of reciting poems as a counterpoint.

After a successful career, flatterers flocked to him, just like the gentry offering their services.

Zhang Fuhua was used to it: "Everyone, take your thoughts back. I am used to eating rice bran, but eating delicacies is tasteless."

Yang Suishou and Li Tun looked at each other with stiff and embarrassed expressions.

They did not take Nanjing's Minister of War seriously.

But who would have thought that a pheasant would fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix.

I heard that Zhang Fuhua has an upright temper, but he still has to be fawning.

Huang Jin, a doctor in the Ministry of War, was quite experienced and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Yan Chengjin's official career is over here. The transformation will hurt the emperor's estate. Your Majesty agrees, but the vassal prince does not agree."

Zhang Fuhua became interested: "Is the renovation of the Yangzhou Grand Canal also Yan Chengjin's advice?"

The Six Ministries in Nanjing have very little contact with the capital. Although they know sporadic information, it is not as clear as in the capital.

Yang Suishou said: "Yes, but all changes are related to Yan Chengjin."

Seeing Zhang Fuhua's interest, another doctor immediately understood. He put his thoughts aside and joined the group chat with great interest: "Master Zhang, be careful. Since then, I have become the censor of the capital. So far, there have been four ministers of the Ministry of War. ”

In just over two years, four ministers of the Ministry of War were replaced.

Zhang Fuhua was extremely puzzled by this: "Why?"

"It's because of the son's impeachment that everyone in the capital is in danger. However, Mr. Zhang, don't worry. If Yan Chengjin touches the imperial palace this time, his official career will definitely stop here."

I am afraid that even Yan Chengjin himself did not expect such changes to happen.

The princes can clearly see that the changes in Liangxiang's merchants and Yishi's yamen have enriched the national treasury.

But it also hurts the interests of the royal family.

This is just the first sign.

Just like Shang Yang, Wang Mang and Wang Anshi, they were in high gear for several years, but in the end, they became cold again?

Therefore, officials such as Huang Jin and Li Tun were determined that this son's official career would come to an abrupt end.

The drastic changes in Huangzhuang are just the beginning, and the disadvantages brought about by the changes will follow.

Zhang Fuhua understood the intentions of several people: "If Yan Chengjin wants to go against the people's will, I will not ignore it. There is no need to sow discord. Please go back."

After the princes left, Yang Suishou, the minister of Dali Temple, smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is upright and I just confirmed it with myself today. It is right not to accept it, so as not to give evidence to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Zhang Fuhua turned around, not long after Yang Suishou was promoted to Marble Minister: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Yang?"

"Yan Chengjin persecuted the ministers of the DPRK in order to change the system. I am the minister of Dali Temple, how can I ignore it." Yang Suishou looked straight at him: "This is a rare opportunity to hurt the emperor's village. Please wait with me, Mr. Zhang." Impeach."

There is no doubt that Yan Chengjin will continue to make changes if ignored.

Now that Huangzhuang has been harmed and His Majesty is suspicious of him, this is a great opportunity.

Zhang Fuhua picked up the teapot and served it to Yang Sui Shouman: "After drinking this cup, Master Yang, please take it back."

…

Huagai Hall,

White smoke rose from the incense burner on the side, the surrounding windows were opened, and the palace curtains flickered gently.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and sat on the throne, looking at the princes in the center: "Do you also think that the Yan Qing family should be dealt with?"

On the imperial court, there is a memorial to impeach Yan Chengjin.

In the main hall, Liu Jian and Liu Bu were standing. Yan Chengjin was absent because he was on leave.

Li Dongyang bowed and said, "Although Yan Chengjin's transformation has hurt the imperial village, it has also enriched the national treasury. I believe that the merits outweigh the faults."

This is what makes Emperor Hongzhi most difficult.

If Yan Chengjin's reform has no effect, it can be abolished immediately.

The key is that Yan Chengjin's reform allowed the state treasury to receive money and people's lives improved.

The cost is that the sacrifice harms the interests of the gentry and even the court.

How to govern a country? How to choose?

Wang Hao said earnestly: "The disadvantages of the reform have begun to appear. Will your Majesty continue?"

"I beg you to abolish Yishi Yamen and household contracting and other ridiculous reforms!" Yang Suishou, the minister of Dali Temple, bowed.

Officials from the five temples seconded the proposal.

Liu Jian also bowed to say goodbye.

Wang Qiong secretly thought that something was not right, Liu Gong was very accurate in making decisions, and all the other princes unanimously asked him to leave, so Yan Chengjin was afraid that he would go home.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to have his cake and eat it too, so he hesitated and said after a long time: "We'll see what Yan Chengjin says tomorrow."

Yan Mansion, in the study.

Yan Chengjin drew a mind map and began to deduce the reactions brought about by the modification.

Changes in feudal society will inevitably impact established systems and interests.

The greater the impact, the greater the backlash. What he is fighting against is not just one person, but a group of gentry, or even ideas and systems.

Due to long-term slavery and hierarchical thinking, in the eyes of the gentry, people should be divided into upper, middle and lower classes.

The gentry regarded themselves as being of noble birth and existing as superior people.

And poor people should be slaves for the rest of their lives.

It is against common sense to let slaves earn money and own fields. Therefore, they neither hope nor dare to make the people rich.

After thinking for a long time, I finally came to a surprising conclusion:

Only one transformation can cover up another transformation.

Li Qing'e was serving wolfberry and lotus root soup. Once my husband asked for leave, it would mean something big happened in the court: "It's time for your husband to drink soup."

"Did you test the poison?"

Li Qing'e nodded. Yan Chengjin took a bite and knew that it was Li Qing'e's stew, which was very different from the chef's cooking skills.

Wang Qiong stood by the door and coughed awkwardly.

After Li Qing'e evaded her, he walked in anxiously: "My dear nephew, Yang Suishou and all the gentlemen, please leave. Shibo is not even embarrassed to intercede on your behalf."

Wang Qiong, a millionaire official, panicked, and Yan Chengjin was surprised: "Is there something going on in the palace?"

"Seeing that you are not here, please stop at Huangzhuang. The impact of your transformation has been too serious."

Wang Qiong knew that the reform would hurt the gentry.

But this time it involved the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty was shaken.

Seeing a book on the desk, Wang Qiong hurriedly came over and took a look: "My dear nephew, aren't you writing bullets? Isn't there Shibo?"

Yan Chengjin took out a bullet from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Qiong: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for telling me."

On the booklet, the word Wang Qiong was clearly written.

Wang Qiong's cheek twitched violently, wanting to beat Yan Chengjin to death. I'm going to hit you with all my heart and soul!

When he opened it, he found that the eunuch Zhang Jun, in the name of the imperial court, collected commercial taxes from merchants in Ning, Jin and Xiaohe.

Wang Qiong was so scared that she broke into cold sweat.

Taxes are under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Some people have been collecting taxes in Gyeonggi Province under their false names for half a year, but the Ministry of Household Affairs does not even know about it.

Suddenly, he felt panic in his heart, rubbed his old face, and said with a smile: "Good nephew, when you impeach me in the future, you come to me in person to ask for materials. I am afraid that if you write incorrectly, you will be accused of slander."

"Master Wang is very considerate."

Early in the morning, Fengtian Hall.

Many ministers had been holding back all night. Although they had not slept, they were still energetic in the morning.

Li Dongyang could predict that the next step for the princes to abolish the reform would be to order Yan Chengjin to resign.

Don’t know what this guy’s strategy is?

On Wang Qiong's face, he was also a little worried, as long as the imperial village had nothing to do with him, the treasury would be full.

Yan Chengjin said: "I have thought about it for two days. The emperor's field is under military rule. The emperor's village can be farmed by the soldiers in the field camp. The money and grain earned can be put into the internal coffers. In this way, whether the people cultivate their own fields or do business, they can all cooperate with the army. Huangzhuang is not involved."

Although the imperial village can be farmed out to tenants and gentry.

But the Imperial Manor is the source of finance for the royal family, which means that sky-high rents must be charged, and you have to pay as much as you plant. How can the gentry and tenants be happy if they don't make a penny of money?

It was handed over to the Tuntian camp, while Huangzhuang remained in the hands of the royal family.

Yang Suishou's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly understood Yan Chengjin's intention. The Tuntian camp belonged to the Beijing camp.

Military household registration is a household that must be transferred to the army. From now on, there will be no more changes in Huangzhuang.

"The Imperial Village has always been controlled by internal officials, but now it is handed over to the Ministry of War. You are changing the control!"
