The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin looked at Yang Suishou and said in confusion: "The Tuntian Camp was established for farming. Why can't it be done? Lord Yang, have you ever heard of the full utilization of human resources and the mobilization of production enthusiasm?"

The hall was silent.

The faces of the officials gradually turned red. They thought they were well-educated and well-versed in ancient and modern times.

But when Yan Chengjin proposed unfamiliar words, they racked their brains, and finally found that they really didn't know.

In fact, they had never heard of it.

A sense of shame came over me. Fortunately, no one knew about it. Then there was a possibility that this kid was talking nonsense!

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't think so.

After all, talking nonsense in the temple was deceiving the emperor, and Yan Chengjin didn't dare to do it.

Emperor Hongzhi was familiar with the classics in the palace, but he didn't know it.

Scanning the ministers in the hall, they all looked confused, so he asked: "What is the full utilization of human resources and the mobilization of production enthusiasm?"

The Ming Dynasty was a big agricultural country and was in the process of development. Yan Chengjin thought it was time to popularize these two concepts of governing the country.

There was silence in the hall, but no one made a sound to disturb.

Everyone knew that this boy was brewing.

Full utilization of human resources is 996. Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said: "The so-called full utilization of human resources is to make the best use of things and people. You think that only scholars have talent, but you don't know that soldiers, craftsmen, farmers, and weavers all have talent, not just writing articles.

The talent of the soldiers in the Tuntian Camp is to cultivate the land.

As far as I know, there are 50,000 soldiers in the Tuntian Camp, and there are 10,000 surpluses for cultivating military fields. They can be ordered to cultivate the imperial farms and save the money for hiring tenants and labor."

In the capital, the imperial farms and official fields occupy the most, and the military fields are the least.

On the contrary, there are more military fields in the nine borders, so the Tuntian Camp is relatively idle.

The soldiers in the Tuntian Camp of the Beijing Camp are the old, weak, sick and disabled eliminated from the original Beijing Camp, and they have never been dismissed.

The eyes of all officials fell on Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin continued: "If the people don't have to worry about the corvée of the court and can cultivate their own fields with peace of mind, they will work harder, and the yield per mu will increase accordingly. All prefectures, states and counties will pay taxes on time, and the national treasury will become more and more abundant."

The anemia of the national treasury is mainly due to two reasons: one is that it cannot be paid, and the other is excessive spending.

Emperor Hongzhi has always been frugal, and there is no excessive spending. Only the first one remains.

Li Dongyang and others showed a look of sudden realization.

The Confucian principle of governing the country also mentions it, but the public only knows that it is only on paper and cannot be used in actual combat to govern the country.

Zhang Fuhua held the banner at the right time: "Military rations come from the national treasury and the inner treasury. It is a good thing to give them to the Tuntian Camp. I heard that the eunuchs oppressed the tenants and caused the laborers to flee. If it is handed over to the Ministry of War, I will do my best to manage it for the court."

Knowing that the imperial farm is one of the bad policies of the court, it is better to rectify it now.

He came to Beijing to serve as an official, just to realize his ambitions and establish achievements for the court.

The hall gradually became quiet.

Emperor Hongzhi weighed the pros and cons: "The secretariat drafted an edict, the imperial farm was transferred to the Ministry of War, and the eunuchs in charge of supervision were recalled."

Yang Suishou's eyes moved slightly. He failed to persuade him, but instead exposed himself to this boy.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and pondered,

There was an accident in the reform. In the future, your majesty and the officials will be more cautious in the reform. I am afraid it will become more and more difficult.

After the duty, Li Mansion.

Li Dongyang ordered people to prepare wine and food.

The whole mansion was busy. The housekeeper had never seen the master entertain guests so luxuriously. Who was the distinguished guest?

The son-in-law?

Li Butler thought it was impossible. The son-in-law never came to the mansion for meals, and the master didn't like him.

Not long after, an old red sedan chair stopped in front of the mansion.

Zhang Fuhua and Li Dongyang had a close relationship and often exchanged letters. The two were both Jinshi in the eighth year of Tianshun and had known each other for more than 30 years.

"Brother Binzhi, why is your visit so grand? Fuhua feels ashamed to accept it. I came here today to ask Brother Binzhi for something."

Li Dongyang knew that Zhang Fuhua was an honest person, so he did not directly refuse: "Brother Gongshi, speak frankly."

"Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was kind and generous in Nanjing, repaired houses to accommodate refugees, exempted taxes on his fiefdom, and was deeply supported by the people of Nanjing.

Brother Binzhi also knew that the lake pirates in the Poyang Lake area were rampant, and the grain of the palace had to be transported across Poyang Lake.

This time when he came to Beijing, he asked me to ask His Majesty to allow the establishment of a guard for the palace, and only fifty people would be enough." Zhang Fuhua said.

Ning Wang asked for a guard?

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and pondered. Only fifty people were needed, which did not seem like a rebellion.

Zhang Fuhua said: "Ning Wang's memorial should also be submitted to Beijing."

I don't know who Zhu Chenhao submitted the memorial through, and the cabinet didn't even know.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the memorial and looked at the few lines on it. Prince Ning asked for a guard.

"Once this precedent is set, won't all the princes ask for it from the court?"

Zhang Fuhua said in a deep voice: "Prince Ning has shown great kindness in Nanjing, resettled more than 10,000 refugees, exempted them from tax and gave them land, and the royal palace was frugal.

The guards are needed to escort the people's money and food, and the expenses are paid by the royal palace.

If all the kings love the people so much, I think they can also be given guards?"

Resettled 10,000 refugees?

After hearing this, the gentlemen were secretly shocked. How much food would more than 10,000 people eat every day? It would be very difficult for the court to feed them.

Yan Chengjin said: "The princes have always been promiscuous. Don't your majesty and the gentlemen feel suspicious if they are so successful?"

He knew that Zhu Chenhao had been thinking about the study of mind recently.

Unexpectedly, this guy was like Super Mario who had gained experience and upgraded his level. He actually knew how to win the hearts of the people in Nanjing!

Isn't this different from the historical Prince Ning?

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment.

Just like the incident in Huangzhuang, Wang Shouren spread the philosophy of mind, which brought about subtle changes in history.

It needs to be deduced!

"Only fifty guards, so there should be no rebellious intentions." Zhang Fuhua said seriously.

The gentlemen nodded. The Beijing camp had 320,000 troops, well-equipped, and sufficient horse grass.

Fifty thousand people could not enter the capital.

Let alone fifty people?

Wang Qiong said: "Among the kings who begged, King Ning spent the least. After the eleventh year of Hongzhi, he did not beg for silver from the Ministry of Revenue, but he did ask for tax exemption."

Other vassal kings, whether for marriage or sacrifice, asked for money from the national treasury and the inner treasury.

King Ning is indeed wise.

Yan Chengjin's eyes moved slightly. King Ning only needed fifty people, and it was difficult to refute.

This person is smart, and he actually learned his "only a little bit of technology"

He had not thought of the move to resettle refugees, but he roughly guessed the intention of Prince Ning: bribing officials and being close to the people.

Yang Suishou looked at Yan Chengjin and said, "There is a crown prince in the court, the people of the world support your majesty, and there is the Nanjing garrison. Why should we be afraid of Prince Ning's rebellion?"

The Nanjing garrison is the minister who watches Nanjing for the court.

The gentlemen nodded in agreement.

Prince Ning solved the people's malpractices in Nanjing and saved the court money.

Yan Chengjin looked at the floor tiles three feet in front of him. The guards were just a pretext for recruiting soldiers. With the guards, weapons can be cast and horses can be purchased.

This is the case in history. Prince Ning wanted the guards to recruit soldiers for rebellion.

"I think it needs to be tested before we can determine whether Prince Ning has any ulterior motives."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly: "How to test?"

"Do your majesty and the gentlemen like to eat pork?" Yan Chengjin said.

The gentlemen looked puzzled. Of course they like to eat pork. Is Dongpo pork pork?

"Of course I like it. If I don't eat meat for a day, I will feel empty in my stomach." Liu Jian said frankly.

Xie Qian and others nodded.

Yan Chengjin said: "It's the same for the common people. Pork costs five cents of silver per pound. The common people can only afford it during festivals."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "What does this have to do with the assessment of the vassal kings?"

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Of course it has. Now that the people can eat enough, the next step is to want to eat meat. Meat will become an important source of taxation for the court, just like the salt administration.

Even if the court raises it, it is difficult to supply the world, and ordinary people can't afford it.

But the vassal kings have fiefs, slaves, and silver. The court is afraid that the vassal kings will rebel, so they are not allowed to run businesses.

But raising pigs will not rebel, and it can make the vassal kings make contributions to the court."

He deduced the next step, the changes that will happen in the Ming Dynasty, and the supply and demand will rise, that is pork.

Eat well, the next step is to eat well, it is human nature.

Just like the later generations pay attention to the price of pork.

The fiefdom of the vassal king is vast, and it is not a problem to raise hundreds or thousands of heads.

"But why would the vassal king agree?" Zhang Fuhua said with a straight face.

"The duke who holds the military power has a higher status than the duke who does not hold the military power, so the duke wants to lead the army and take power.

The same is true for the vassal king. I think that eight wise kings can be selected, given the title of wise king, and one of their sons can be allowed to enter the palace to accompany the emperor's grandson or the prince to study." Yan Chengjin said.

The sons of the vassal king also study in the fiefdom.

But after studying, they continue to eat and wait for death, can't do anything, and can't leave the fiefdom.

Over time, they were alienated and forgotten by the royal family, and the palace declined.

The vassal king naturally did not want the palace to decline, and the only way was to get close to the crown prince.

But the government decreed that they were not allowed to leave the country!

Yixiao didn't know that someone wrote a purely deductive historical article. There is really such a label in the history category. It is actually reasonable to add deduction, after all, the time traveler changed the original history. If the deduction is correct, the country will prosper. If it is wrong, the reform will fail. I think this is reasonable and exciting. Finally, today is the last day of the monthly ticket sprint. Please vote for the monthly ticket~ Thank you everyone
