Red Mansion is so good I want to cry

Being stared at by the emperor for the entire morning court with the eyes of looking at a heartless man, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were terrified.

Mud, I was so frightened that my hairs stood on end.

The lingering resentment in their eyes made them wonder if they had done something to the emperor to end the chaos.

No, no, no~ According to their emperor's attributes, they should have reneged on their debts without paying compensation.

The few princes who discussed the matter with the emperor, the stingy brother, in the imperial study yesterday knew it well.

No matter how many brothers you know about the stingy attributes, you can't change them.Brother wants to fix things, and those who are used to being tricked by him are ready.

Be ready to take the blame at any time.

╭(╯e╰)╮

"The subordinates of some departments re-stated the state-owned land and the area of ​​arable land in the book, and the ownership of each mu of land must be made in detail." Just as everyone was preparing for the battle, Shui Yuan had a serious face. The voice was so gloomy that dripping water gave the order, "Ministry of officials, count the number of scholars above all scholars in the country."

Shui Yuan suffered from heartache yesterday, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.After he wronged Bala and told his unconscionable daughter-in-law about his thoughts, his daughter-in-law once again strangled his hard-won heart with a thin hemp rope.

The pain was almost numb.

"There is something more heartbreaking than that. After my brother was admitted to Juren, the yamen gave him the title deed of a few acres of land. Our wife asked my brother to keep it for himself, saying that he didn't need to return it to the kilometer."

Water source: ...

Scholars are exempt from taxes, exempt from military service and corvee service, and can also get a certain amount of shares from the court every year.And the Juren above the scholar is even more remarkable.

Anyone who is admitted to Juren will be given a certain amount of land by the prefecture and county where they are located according to the rules that will be implemented in an unknown year.

These lands were given to them for free, and they also did not need to pay taxes.

Thinking of this, Shui Yuan didn't dare to think about the treatment of Jinshi anymore.

Well, fortunately, you can be awarded an official if you only pass the Jinshi exam. Otherwise, if you go through the same exam, you won't be rich and invincible?

You don't need to think about it to know that the area of ​​the country's land that needs to be taxed is probably not even at least half of it.

Ownership of the land, from top to bottom, is the royal family, honored nobles, new officials, Jinshi who have not served in the court, Juren and scholars, and finally the wealthy gentry and ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Shui Yuan felt that this kind of thing was really unreasonable.

A small amount of land supports nearly 60.00% of the country's population, as well as the army, and they have to feed the royal family members. Oh, let me go, the country can still run well now, it's really not easy.

Think of the phrase 'the world prospers, the people suffer.The world is dead, the people are suffering' words.Shui Yuan felt that he was not stingy at all, and he was not the stingy skin that his wife said.

Looking up at a 45-degree angle, looking at the magnificent eaves of the main hall, countless ideas for benefiting the country and the people emerged in Shui Yuan's heart.

Even if the road ahead is rough and difficult, even if the convenience ahead is an abyss, for the sake of the people, for the treasury, for money... Who else would I?

Wait, why is there dust on the eaves of the hall?

Shui Yuan blinked his eyes a few times, and thought of the punishment regulations he made when he was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Shui Yuan nodded, and after calculating in his mind how much silver taels would be fined, he turned his attention back to Zao Chaoshang.

Although the ministers of the court have been in court for a long time, they still can't grasp the thoughts of the new emperor very clearly.Although he knew that the new emperor was looking at money all the time, he still didn't expect that the new emperor wanted to poke a hornet's nest just a few days after he took the throne.

It's just that the year is close, and no one has thought of such an unlucky thing.So all departments stood up, and then retreated after receiving the order.

"I received memorials from all over the country the day before yesterday. I thought something big happened, but they were all memorials for peace. I accept them. But in the future, I will not use the memorials that waste people and money, and exhaust my station's Maxima." One person There are not many pamphlets, but how many pamphlets are there in the whole country, can he read them all?

Shuiyuan didn't admit that he was venting his anger, so during the New Year's Eve, the wind with icy stubble continued to blow.

"The Court of Lifan said the day before yesterday that there are foreign countries who want to come to the court to make offerings? Since those who come to the court to make offerings, then bring your own water and rice. We will not provide anything except the residence." Seeing that there are civil servants at the bottom who want to press, there is only one source of water. The cruel glance swept over, "Every penny and cent in the treasury of the Heavenly Dynasty is the hard-earned money of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty. I have no right to use the taxes paid by the people on outsiders. Since I have no right, those who How can a person who is generous to others have the face to mention to me such a great country, heaven, heaven and earth?"

Shui Yuan's words were too angry.Directly put out those censors who are easy to find fault.

In other words, they are really generous to others.It's just, don't you want to lose face?

There are those who don't give up, after hearing this, they don't care about Shui Yuan's face that has been blackened by losing money over the years, but he still jumps out, "Your Majesty, there are friends from afar..."

Shui Yuan squinted his eyes, then nodded approvingly, "Zhang Yushi is right, you should not care too much about these things when you have friends from afar. The hospital is only responsible for the accommodation, and Zhang Yushi will be responsible for the other three meals a day. No, no, it’s too troublesome. It’s better to wait for people to come, and send them to Zhang Yushi’s mansion. Arrange Zhang Yushi like this Do you think it's appropriate?"

Zhang Yushi was dumbfounded in court, looking at Shui Yuan, could he not be so unreasonable?You let him receive hundreds of envoys as a censor?

Shui Yuan took care of him.

Isn't the prerequisite for making others generous, be generous yourself first?

Talking nonsense with Lao Tzu's money, and being generous with all your strength, you will never die.

"Here, Your Majesty, how can Weichen's mansion accommodate so many people?" At least there are hundreds of people, how could their family get so much money to entertain them.

"Zhang Yushi, don't be too modest. I remember that you are a Jinshi from the serious imperial examination. Don't embarrass the scholars." After speaking, Shui Yuan glanced at Zhang Yushi, and then at the group of people who wanted to second Zhang Yushi's words just now. The civil servant smiled coldly, "I am poor, and the national treasury is also poor. Every penny I have is not blown by the strong wind. It is not easy to earn money, and you should save money when you spend it.

You are all the pillars of this dynasty, presumably you are willing to share the country's worries at this time, right?Of course, if Zhang Yushi is really capable, he can also ask like-minded ministers to help share one or two.You share the worries for the country, and I will remember all your sacrifices.When the national treasury becomes more abundant in the future, I will definitely make up for it. "If he said that he didn't want to share the country's worries, he still didn't want to support this group of censors who could only be forced.

Zhang Yushi: I am afraid that the national treasury will not have a day of abundance.

After Zhang Yushi lifted the stone and hit his foot, the others all looked at Zhang Yushi with a look of 'stupid'.

The most intolerable thing for their new emperor is to take out money. Why do you want him to be more generous?

He confiscated the rent of those envoys to save our face.

By the way, are you stupid?This year, the old people no longer expect the rewards that the emperor will give every year during the Chinese New Year.If you really have that kind of heart, why don't you suggest that the emperor give them more rewards?

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

After the early court, those with a sharper political sense smelled something unusual.

A few days later, on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zaozhaoshang Shuiyuan finally got the data he wanted from the relevant department.

Seeing that 60.00% of the state-owned cultivated land is not within the scope of taxation, the eyes of the source of water are darkened.Covering his chest with a pale face, he thought over and over for his father, why did he give the throne to him?

With so many problems left over from history and mess, you are happy to die when you are old, and your poor son has to suffer.

Being an emperor is really hard work.

Putting down the memorial on land and taxation, Shui Yuan picked up another list of scholars and people with above-mentioned honors from the Ministry of Officials.

When he saw that there are more than 3000 scholars who are still alive and above the scholarly status, and those who have not entered the court, Shuiyuan's back teeth began to itch faintly.

Mud, more than 3000 people.

Squinting his eyes, Shui Yuan said in front of all civil and military officials, "The Ministry of War has been saying that banditry is happening all over the country recently. The year is approaching, and I feel very uneasy when I hear this news. There will still be bandits in the prosperous age? Have you ever thought about the reason?"

The court ministers didn't know what the emperor was going to do. Hearing his question, he really thought about the reason.

Then for a long time, everyone felt that this kind of thing, in fact, apart from the objective factors such as the government forcing the people to rebel, the subjective reasons are really old and young.

He said all the reasons that he could say in Zao Shangshang, and then the voice of Zao Chaoshang gradually disappeared under the water source or nodding, or with a silent expression, and the sound of panting could be heard for a while.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Shui Yuan said lightly, "I think the people's wisdom is not enlightened, and the main reason for the banditry is the lack of education. I had an idea the day before yesterday, so I asked people to count all the people in the country. A scholar with a reputation above the scholar.

The so-called raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while.Since those scholars have enjoyed all kinds of treatment given by the state, but have not entered the court to serve as officials and serve the country, it is a good time to educate the bandits and reduce public grievances. "

Pull those scholars who enjoy the treatment every day to the bandit den, or lose their lives, and the country no longer needs to support these wastes.Or use the books I have read for so many years to persuade those bandits to change their ways.

In short, how much power you took at the beginning, you can get as much power now.

It seemed that every time Shui Yuan made an important decision, he carried his father-in-law's thunder.

Thunder billowed, making people dizzy.

How did he come up with such a thing as letting those scholars educate and persuade the bandits to surrender?

Thinking that the bandits in some places are all cannibals, the ministers in court felt that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so sending some meat up the mountain was to show the great kindness of the emperor...

Shivering, the ministers felt that this proposal was really not very good.So one after another stood up and wanted to express the lofty status of scholars.

"Useless to the country and the people, that is waste." Shui Yuan said contemptuously, "Don't you also think that these scholars can only be supported by the state, but in fact they are useless at all?"

Shaking his head, Shui Yuan didn't seem to see him finish his sentence, and the civil servants in the court all looked unhappy.

"All the ministers are the pillars of the country. Han Chuang's ancient reading has gone through untold hardships, and he stands here with his extraordinary talents and knowledge, and has become the backbone of the court admired by all people. I have never doubted your talents and abilities. .Learning literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family. This is understandable. It's just, "

As long as you hear "just" in everything, it will make people feel that nothing is good.Everyone listened so well just now, but when they heard this 'just', they were so disturbed.

"It's just that the positions in the imperial court are limited, and how many talented people are living among the people without being able to develop their talents? Thinking about those scholars who enjoy the treatment of the country but have no chance to serve the country, they also feel guilty and depressed. On the one hand, they are helpless. The merits are not rewarded, and at the same time, there is nowhere to get ahead. So I thought hard for several days, and finally came up with this method. Of course, banditry does not require so many people to persuade them to surrender, and I also allow those with lofty ideals to give up their existing specialties. encounter, so as not to be weighed down by guilt."

In a word, it's either you do it.Or you automatically forego these benefits.

Shui Yuan's ability to talk to himself has always been the best among their brothers.

At this moment when he finished speaking, the Shuiyuan brothers were amazed that their scumbag brother didn't blame them, and could come up with such a wicked scheme, but they had to say that this was indeed the most effective method.

And those civil servants in the court were indeed dumbfounded.

It seems that it is not unreasonable to say this.

Thinking of the privileges they have enjoyed since being admitted as a scholar, these civil servants felt a sense of embarrassment for some reason.Therefore, there is no way to be confident anymore.

Shui Yuan has no scruples in doing things. In the past, some people organized a group to trip him up.But since God 'recognized' his status as son-in-law, as long as it is not too outrageous, most people will not object to his decision.

It's just that the decision made by Shuiyuan today has shaken the lifeblood of the scholars.

"Your Majesty, all things are inferior, only reading is high. Scholars have been noble since ancient times. If they are allowed to go and teach bandits, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

"The Buddha said, I don't go down to the region, whoever goes down the region. Scholars will always have this kind of awareness, right? Contributing to the country does not matter whether it is big or small. If you don't even have this kind of awareness, you are still worthy of being called a scholar? Ministers , if there are such rubbish and bedbugs among the scholars, you must remember not to associate with them. Shame~"

Contribute to the country, regardless of size?

hehe~

……

The more you talk, the more and more cheap ideas you can come up with.After sending people to educate and persuade the bandits to surrender, Shui Yuan proposed to send people to Fanbang to promote our country's benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, so as to save the people of Fanbang from wanting to fight.

There are also those who send scholars to various fortresses to help the lieutenants write some family letters and teach classes there to promote the cause of education.

In short, it is how to develop the abilities of these scholars.

Of course, you don't have to go.But if you don't go, you have the intention of not wanting to serve the country.

Since you don't want to serve the country anymore, then don't occupy the latrine.

We will take back all the privileges given to you by the imperial court.

No one owes you, you can't give it all to the white-eyed wolf, can you?

Anyway, as long as money is involved, the source of water cannot shrink back.Shui Yuan's words are always so straightforward and direct, making it impossible to refute.

Although the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty were sharp-tongued, the matter that Shui Yuan mentioned was indeed scholars taking advantage of the court.In addition, civil servants always feel that they have a higher status than military officials.At this time, when Shui Yuan said this, even if those military officials couldn't say anything constructive, they would say "Your Majesty is wise" and "Your Majesty is wise" to embarrass the civil servants.

As for those clans and several princes, even if they wanted to watch the excitement, they would not get involved.But can Shuiyuan let them go with these guns?

So after some civil servants gave a reason for their objection, Shui Yuan first asked his third brother on the left, his ninth brother on the right, and finally his uncles.After everyone had to express their views, Shui Yuan spoke out his thoughts.

In short, everyone has to have their own standpoint, want to be a fool?

Sorry, he is poor, and the wall is gone, so how can he let you watch the wind on it.

So the early court ended in a bloody storm.

As soon as the morning is over, all the students in the world will know what Shui Yuan did today?

What did he do?

He wants to reuse the students all over the world, and wants to give the students a chance to express themselves. Is there anything wrong with that?

Of course it is.

As for whether these students can agree, that's not what he will worry about.

Let me teach you a lesson today, the country's advantages are not so easy to take advantage of.

(→_→)

After the early court, because Shui Yuan had to discuss with the relevant person in charge about the matter of the educated youth going to the mountains and the countryside, he could only reluctantly leave a few ministers to eat in the palace.

The ministers all ate the first imperial meal after Shui Yuan ascended the throne in fear, and they couldn't help but feel a little hairy.

After the meal, several ministers and several princes discussed the special encounter with scholars in the imperial study.

I won’t talk about those in the past. You must obey the party, oh no, you must obey the distribution of the court.In the future, those who are admitted to the scholar and above, if they don't want to accept the assignment, they will sign an automatic waiver instruction.

If you give up the state-owned privileges, the country will naturally not assign you a job.

The remaining ministers are mostly civil servants.Although I am very disgusted with the source of water for doing so.But after Shui Yuan took out the memorial of the land tax, he could only choose to shut up.

People live without worries and die in peace.

At this time, several ministers have already figured out what to do after the water source.However, they also know that if they cannot be dissuaded, they must ensure the maximum benefit they can get.

For example, give up the treatment that scholars earn above the level of a scholar, and conduct a general adjustment of the treatment of those with official positions.

The founding period of this dynasty is not long, and some policies are more relaxed than those of the previous dynasty.It's like the rule that scholars with fame do not pay taxes. The previous dynasty stipulated that no matter what kind of fame they obtained, they could have a corresponding number of acres of land under their name without paying taxes.

But in this dynasty, the land under his name can be exempted from taxation by a student with a high reputation.

Thinking of this, several ministers decided to act first after leaving the imperial study.

They discussed a set of feasible methods among themselves, and then wrote a memorial to ask Shui Yuan for instructions.

It's better to make a move and retreat to advance than others, isn't it?

Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year will give the scholars all over the world a heartbreak. I am afraid that only Shuiyuan can do this kind of immoral thing.

However, the source of water does not care about these things at all.Looking at Zhang Yushi who was crying with tears and snot in front of him, Shui Yuan smiled coldly when he heard his words that he was not competent.

However, Shuiyuan also knows the truth of accepting as soon as it is good.After punishing Zhang Yushi's half-year salary, he withdrew his proposal to let Zhang Yushi entertain the foreign envoys.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Shui Yuan didn't really plan to let Zhang Yushi spend money to entertain outsiders, he was also waiting for this Yushi to bow his head.

Regardless of your envoys or not, who doesn't owe you, you say you are here to make offerings and gifts?

Don't forget, when you went back, our Heavenly Dynasty never gave a gift in return.

(ˉ▽￣～)Cut~~

The attitude of those in power is often the weather vane for those below.

When the officials below knew Shui Yuan's attitude towards the envoys, they no longer praised the envoys of various countries as they did when the first emperor was alive.

After the envoys entered the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, apart from sending corresponding officers and soldiers to escort and monitor them, the government offices in various places did not take care of all the miscellaneous matters.

Want something to eat, something to drink?

Spend money to buy it.

Oh, don't worry, the place to live doesn't cost money, but you have to pay a deposit for bedding.

If it is broken or lost, it will be compensated according to the price.

What price do you say?

Don't worry, we are the heaven and dynasty of the state of etiquette, and we will never do those deceitful things.

All post stations and post stations under Lifanyuan have clear charging standards.

These charging standard price lists are transcribed in the best fonts by the scholars of my dynasty.

Don't worry if you are innocent.

Goryeo's envoys have always been watching people order dishes, and when they see that you are soft, they will mess with you.When you see you are hard, you will soften.Along the way, I found that Tianchao's attitude was very 'calm', so I quietly stopped to say what was wrong.Even the princesses they brought were honest.

However, compared with the envoys of Goryeo, Fusang, who also heard that the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty had only one daughter-in-law, was not so honest.

Fusang Diji's temper is not small, and it completely overturns Jia Xiaoniu's view of Fusang women.

When the two envoys asked for an audience, Shui Yuan glanced at the list of gifts sent by the two island countries, and sent his brother to receive him if he didn't see anything.Even the state banquets that must be held according to the etiquette have been lowered by Shui Yuan because his father just disappeared.

As for the princesses and concubines of the two island countries, Jia Xiaoniu was very interested in announcing her entry into the palace.

Not very thorough in being a human being, and coupled with her incongruous temperament, Jia Xiaoniu's interview this time almost made Empress Fusang faint.

Jia Xiaoniu heard people say that the people in Goryeo like to learn the culture of the Celestial Dynasty the most, just like a groupie, he will learn whatever the Celestial Dynasty has.So when receiving their princess, they prepared a 'stool'.

And when receiving Fusang Emperor Ji, I heard that they like to kneel in that place, so I prepared a futon for them.

So Fusang Emperor Ji, who was kneeling on the futon, felt aggrieved.

And Princess Goryeo who was sitting was not very comfortable either.

Because the stool that Jia Xiaoniu prepared for Princess Gaoli according to the princess status of the subordinate country and the standard of the county monarch is actually a little short...

The author has something to say: Jia Xiaoniu: The fish have satisfied the living habits of human beings, why are they still unhappy?
