Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Jiajing is in a good mood recently, the courtiers have been dealt with honestly, the treasury is full, and even the subsequent reform of the clan is a sure thing.Thinking of how the headaches of the previous emperors were solved by him in an understatement, he couldn't help being complacent for a while.

In the end, reality hit him hard.

When Huang Jin came to report that Li Chengfeng was being carried into the hospital covered in blood, he almost lost his footing.

"Jinghua...Jinghua is a master of martial arts, how could she be injured! What's going on!" Zhu Houcong asked tremblingly, praying in his heart, for fear of hearing any bad news.

Huang Jin secretly groaned, the real Jinghua is so big in the emperor's heart, what he said this time, I am afraid that I will be complained, so I can only try my best to be euphemistic: "I don't know too well, I only listen to people from the imperial hospital. That being said, maybe it’s nothing serious, don’t panic, Your Majesty.”

How could Zhu Houcong not panic, he ran out immediately after hearing the news, without his outer robe on.

At this moment, Li Chengfeng was listening to Guo Xun's ramblings helplessly. Seeing the little emperor rushing to him anxiously, he asked rather puzzled, "What's the matter? I'm out of breath."

Zhu Houcong checked it carefully, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to ask.

Li Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and briefly explained what happened in the teahouse, which made the little emperor's face pale.

"It's because I'm too merciful, they're tired of life! Now that you're in the capital, you can imagine how arrogant and domineering you are in the fiefdom. Huang Jin said that you are covered in blood, Jinghua, you are at a disadvantage?"

"Ham, where is it me?" Li Chengfeng raised his hand and nodded to the side, "The blood is all Guo Xun's."

Only then did Zhu Houcong notice that Guo Xun's head was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and he was standing aside with an awkward smile.

Guo Xun: ....Your Majesty, you have finally noticed me, I have already bowed countless times since you came in, and stood there for a long time.

Li Chengfeng explained that it turned out that the gang of princes saw that the molestation failed but were reprimanded by others. They felt that they had lost face, and they didn't know who started it, but they started fighting with Guo Xun.The teahouse was originally owned by Guo Xun, and Li Chengfeng was by his side, so naturally nothing major would happen.The princes were better than the civil servants of the Imperial Academy, but not too much, so Li Chengfeng put them all in.

Just as Guo Xu retreated contentedly, he accidentally stepped on a chair scattered on the ground, and one of them fell forward without paying attention, and his head was broken.

Li Chengfeng was afraid that he would have a concussion, thinking that he would face the saint anyway, so he took him to the palace for treatment, and the scene that Huang Jin saw just now happened.

The little emperor was furious. Although Guo Xun's injury had nothing to do with those princes in the strict sense, there were still rumors in Beijing. Everyone saw that his head was covered with blood.Guo Xun represented the capital officials, and also the face of Daming. In the eyes of others, wouldn't this mean that the vassal king was above the court, and no one could control him.

Li Chengfeng thought it was funny to see the angry young man opposite him, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, aren't you still worrying about how to force the princes to submit, isn't it just that someone handed over the knife, you can use it. "

Zhu Houcong's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he slapped his thigh hard, "That's right! If I don't pull out a layer of their skin this time, my surname will not be Zhu!"

So the next day, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested a group of princes on the grounds of beating local officials and provoking quarrels.The vassal kings were in a hurry, and it was okay if their son was taken in a pot, so they hurried to the palace to ask for a face saint.

As a result, he was naturally blocked back. Zhu Houcong said that the princes had already committed public anger by beating officials, and he was sprayed with saliva by the civil officials this morning.He was powerless to do what the vassal kings asked for.The state owns the state law, so let's do it according to the law.

The feudal lord said in his heart, I believe you, idiot!Everyone knows what's going on, some are in a hurry and want to compromise, some have many sons, and want to continue to procrastinate. If this son is abolished, just change it. The money in your pocket is more important.

But at this moment, there was another news that shocked everyone.

Lieutenant Fuguo and Lieutenant Fengguo, who had the lowest titles in the clan, heard about the little emperor's decision, and they all jointly signed a letter of thanks.

I think so, although these princes are very rich, those low-level clans without guards of honor are still very poor, and some can't even afford the money for the burial, so they can only expose their corpses in the wilderness.Now the imperial court has not only increased their salaries, but their children and grandchildren can also study, do business and buy land normally, which is of great benefit to them and no harm.

Zhu Houcong’s route of encircling the city from the countryside is not unsuccessful. After all, the clan has a total of 10,000+ people, and the low-level clans account for four-fifths of the total. Now they are expressing their position together with great momentum, and they do not give the princes a chance to react.

The vassals were in a mess, pointing at each other for being too harsh on their subordinates, which made them lose their hearts.

Seeing the mess, King Zhou sighed fiercely, and chose to find a compromise with the emperor. He knew that this confrontation, on his side, might have suffered a crushing defeat and was powerless to recover.

Zhu Houcong received him with a smile, "King Zhou, your team is worthy of being the pillar of the country, and Daming will not treat you badly."

"Where, sharing worries for the king is what we courtiers should do. Your Majesty appreciates it." King Zhou was quite lonely.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houcong gave him a big surprise at this time, "As for changing the ancestral system, I sometimes think about it and it is hard to rest day and night. After discussing with the cabinet, I decided to hold a clan competition every three years from now on. Nominate a number of people to go to Beijing, and the top five are chartered as officials in the court."

King Zhou was astonished: "This...Your Majesty is telling the truth?" Who didn't know that Chengzu Zhu Di guarded against them like thieves, for fear that these nobles would interfere in politics, and now the little emperor let them into the court?

Zhu Houcong said sincerely: "I and everyone are of the blood of the Taizu. If you don't believe me, is it possible that you still have to trust some outsiders? What's more, there are only five people, and there will not be too much criticism in the court. The most important thing is that I am also a vassal king. When I was in Anlu, I often missed my grandmother but couldn’t meet each other. This is also a chance for you to reunite with your relatives.”

Of course, this is only one aspect, as early as in the process of the previous ceremony, Jiajing saw that as long as there is the temptation of power, the so-called civil servants are no different from nobles.Just be careful not to let them hold too much military power, and it is also good to use it to check and balance the increasingly rampant civilian groups.

But no matter what, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy. If you give a sweet date with a stick, even if you know in your heart that the clan in the future may only become a sword in the hands of the emperor, you still have to thank you.

After King Zhou went back, he told everyone about the matter. Now, it is useless to say more, and the vassal kings can only hold their noses and accept it.

Zhu Houcong's action can be said to have completely solved the old disease of Ming Dynasty, and it only took less than half a year from decision to completion, and the ruling and opposition parties praised it.Even the gangsters at Yushitai couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

The little emperor was coaxed into high spirits, so he made another big decision—he wanted to take advantage of this shareholder wind to carry out land reforms and completely solve the intensified land annexation problem!

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was shot and killed by Li Chengfeng.

"I don't think so." Li Chengfeng blurted out after hearing the news.

"Why?" Jiajing was surprised. Since he came to Beijing, no matter what he raised, the other party tried to find a way with him. This was the first time that he refused so decisively.

Li Chengfeng organized his language, and said slowly: "What we studied before, whether it is the ceremony or the clan, are actually small problems, and some are even unique to this dynasty. We are just correcting mistakes. But the land is different. ..."

Because Li Chengfeng is a time traveler, although he is a science student, he also knows that the two-tax law in ancient my country continued from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even in the Republic of China, many places collected taxes according to this system.Land is the foundation of the country in feudal society, so it is not wise to move it as soon as it is said.

Zhu Houcong also knew that what he said was reasonable, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Nowadays, a small Juren has countless fertile fields under his name. Although the tax set by my Ming Dynasty is the lowest since ancient times, the common people still live in poverty. The country has no Money, the common people have no money, and all the money goes to those moths, and now I am going to take my own relatives, even if I reform the land tax law now, I believe they have nothing to say."

Li Chengfeng is speechless, this child is still young, and he doesn't understand what power comes from the barrel of a gun. Your relatives have been raised as pigs for hundreds of years, and they have already turned into pigs. Even if you bully them, there is nothing you can do .But the group of people that the little emperor plans to move next includes wealthy merchants, descendants of aristocratic families, and important officials of the court. These people are all proper carnivores. If they pull their teeth from their tiger's mouth, aren't they afraid of their rebellion!

Talking about him being together, but seeing Zhu Houcong still not giving up, Li Chengfeng could only sigh and said, "Okay, okay, you can change it if you want, but at least do a census."

"Census?" Zhu Houcong was confused again, what does this mean.

"That is to say, Your Majesty, do you know how many people there are in Ming Dynasty? How many scholars are there? How many farmers are there? Also, what is the situation in our current borders? With the support of big data, your reform will be convincing." Strength."

Li Chengfeng talked about hype, but in fact he was just delaying time. According to the efficiency of ancient times, such a huge project of the census would probably take three to four years.Zhu Houcong wants to reform, of course he supports it, but it is definitely not now.Today's little emperor has just ascended the throne for more than a year, and the national treasury has only just started to improve. It will take a few years for such a big move.

Jiajing was confused, but he still ordered the officials to do so.

While he was showing his talents in the previous court, the people in the harem were not idle, and the Queen Mother Zhang didn't know what to think, and even took Fang Wanru and others into the palace to serve her.

The author has something to say: After reading the ancient land policy all night, the more I look at it, the more desperate I feel. The only way to completely solve the disadvantages is to vigorously develop industrialization, and then immediately overthrow the feudal dynasty. The era we are in now is already beyond the reach of history. Best choice ever made.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will be live broadcasting upside down and gnawing on pig's feet! !
