Wanli Youming

Chapter 85

After Zhang Siwei said this, Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything more.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Zhang Siwei had no choice but to return to his value room angrily.

Today's Zhang Juzheng is busy with the promotion of Qingzhang Tianmu in the whole country, and the opening of the sea to increase the training of naval divisions. Naturally, he has no intention of paying attention to Zhang Siwei's proposal to prevent the supervisor from becoming a major issue.

With the end of the Qingzhang pilot project of the North and South Directions, it is indeed necessary to implement it across the country as soon as possible.

After all, the Ming Empire couldn't just relieve the people in the north and the south, and not care about the plight of the other dozen chief ministers and capital ministers.

That's right, Qingzhang Tianmu not only enriches the country, but also greatly improves the living plight of ordinary people.

As mentioned above, Zhang Juzheng’s national policy of Qingzhang Tianmu took Xiaomin’s plight into account from the very beginning.

For example, after clearing the land, the people who cannot afford the tax and owe taxes will be exempted, and the people who have paid the tax truthfully will not be cleared. Therefore, in theory, the clearing of the land will not disturb the people or increase the burden on the people. It is also conducive to the relief of ordinary people.

Of course, there must be a gap between theory and practice.

In this pilot project, Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji, Hai Rui, etc. also summed up the problems that occurred in the Qingzhang, and formulated corresponding countermeasures, planning to avoid them in the next nationwide implementation of Qingzhang.

As for the next Qingzhang, there is no need to worry about touching the interests of noble relatives, but the issue of suzerain and vassal will be involved.

After all, in the following Qingzhang, the chief secretaries of Henan, Huguang, and Shandong with a large amount of arable land, the biggest landlords were not noble relatives and officials, but suzerains and vassals.

In Daming, there were two types of people who rebelled because their own interests were damaged.

One category is common people.

One category is suzerain.

Although the Ming court has now strictly limited the suzerain's ability to rebel, the possibility of suzerain's rebellion is still there, at least more likely than officials and gentry.

You know, not long ago, there were two vassal rebellions in the Zhengde Dynasty.

Therefore, the rebellion of the vassal kings is something that the current rulers of Ming Dynasty have to consider.

However, Zhu Yijun is clear that in history, Qing Zhang of the Wanli Dynasty did not force any vassals to rebel, and the vassals of the Wanli Dynasty were obviously not that strong.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun is not worried about anything.

However, Zhu Yijun is not worried, which does not mean that Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji and other rulers are not worried. They did not dare to take it lightly, and therefore had to make some personnel adjustments first.

Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was transferred to the governor of Huguang Military Affairs.

Song Yizheng, the governor of Yingtian, was transferred to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Yan Qing, the governor of Baoding and other prefectures, was transferred to Henan as the governor.

Xuanda governor Wang Zongmu governor of Shandong.

In addition, officials who had served as inspectors, magistrates, and county magistrates in the north and south were also promoted to these places to serve as sub-shoudao, sub-xundao, or inspectors to ensure that the promotion of Qingzhang throughout the country can be carried out successfully.

And when preparing to implement Qingzhang Tianmu in the whole country, the imperial edict to further open the sea has also been promulgated.

In October of this year, that is, in October of the fourth year of Wanli, Nanzhi Yingtianfu.

Tian Le, the patrol censor and academic officer, is receiving the newly admitted students in the college examination.

Affected by Zhu Yijun's new policies, many of the Nanzhi students who were admitted this time were civilian children who wore civilian or patched clothes under their shirts.

As a reformist official, under the influence of Zhu Yijun's generous rewards for the officials who implemented the Qingzhang New Deal, Tian Le, whose salary has increased greatly and has been granted a first-level official rank, and who is about to be promoted, is now in a good mood. After seeing these newly admitted students , with a smile that makes you feel like a spring breeze:
"Relying on the greatness of the emperor's grace, I issued an edict to increase the number of Jinshi by [-] each time, as the quota for the children of ordinary people, and ordered the county examination, government examination, courtyard examination, and township examination to increase according to this number. Nanzhite has submitted an application. With the approval of the Holy Majesty, increase the number of lin students and increase the number of births of the children of the common people."

Speaking of this, Tian Le stood up and cupped his hands towards the north, saying: "So those of you who are from poor families, you should know the kindness of the emperor, and you should thank the emperor first!"

These newly admitted students quickly bowed their hands and said yes, and then they began to look north and kneel down together.

Liu Quexian, who was newly elected as a lin student, was also here at this time, and along with other students, he bowed devoutly to the north.

He really didn't expect that not only was he squeezed by subordinate officials before, but he was rescued because of the New Deal, not to mention, now even the imperial examination is still under the favor of the New Deal and the emperor's favor.

This made Liu Quexian really feel that after meeting a good emperor, he really changed the fate of his children of ordinary people.

Moreover, this kind of change is not a change that he can produce by his own efforts.

"The imperial edict said: set up new municipal ship divisions in Shanghai, Dinghai, and Xiangshan, and allow private private sales in the east and west..."

Liu Quexian also discovered that the changes in the new dynasty were not limited to these. After he met Tian Le and left after a banquet, he saw a new edict at the city gate, and the content of the edict was suddenly the content of Kaihai.

Liu Quexian immediately showed a joyful smile, turned around, knelt down facing north, and kowtowed three times earnestly.

Then, Liu Quexian hurried home, ignoring the relatives and neighbors who gathered in his home, but called Weidi to his back room.

After Laidi came in with him, she asked, "What happened? You've become a husband-in-law, and you're still so impatient."

At this time, Liu Quexian took out the three deeds of selling himself out of the box, then tore off the one from Laidi first, and said with a smile: "The matter of opening the sea is settled! The decree has been issued!"

"Have the edicts been issued?"

"Why such a result?"

"This is really unexpected. Don't the gentlemen disapprove of opening the sea?"

Laidi was also shocked when she heard this, and then asked curiously.

"Who knows, maybe Zhang Jiangling's power is not as simple as people in the world imagined! That's why I don't care about the opinions of the masters!"

"It's just like the decree that the gentry and gentry were not allowed to discuss and discuss politics before, and the officials and ranks were dismissed. This gentleman and his wrist are so tough that no one in the world may have imagined."

"His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces should trust him very much."

Liu Quexian smiled and said again: "But no matter what, today's imperial court is indeed a sign of prosperity, and many good things that were thought to be difficult to happen have happened. A child from a poor family! I was able to win because of this kindness."

"I have to say that the current court is really good. It is obviously not the power and rape that those gentlemen said about the court, the master is unknown, and the loyal and good people are killed."

Laidi nodded: "Yeah, this is really a good time that I dare not even think about. I said that in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people selling children and women. Now I want to come because of a good time."

Liu Quexian continued: "Since the matter of opening the sea has been decided, we don't need to worry about not being able to make money in the future. Of course, there is no need to keep the sister's contract of prostitution, and the other two girls have also been changed to employment. They weave more cloth."

"Ok!"
