Can you live forever

Chapter 218 Intended to meet, three chapters of agreement

"If you want to change the law, you can't get around the hurdle of equalizing land and exempting taxes."

"It's also the basis of everything."

"Although in recent years there have been colleges and universities dedicated to sorting out and studying mathematics and physics. In the eighth year of Jiajing, mathematics and science were newly opened. So far, 61 Jinshi students have been admitted and 1287 people have been admitted."

"But so far, we can only extend mathematics and science to the rural examination."

"It's just for those talented people to strengthen mathematics learning and change the track. As far as talents are concerned, it should be enough, but these students are still scholars. Let them measure the land by themselves, and they are bound to fail. of."

"We lack a large number of capable, committed, experienced people."

When Jiajing said this, he didn't mean any difficulty, but instead looked straight at Zhang Zhixiang, which made Zhang Zhixiang scratch his head. In ten years, His Majesty should not have cultivated a group of direct students.

Faith, experience...

"Your Majesty, you mean..."

"Anping, after you and I return to the capital, it's time to visit Qinyuan."

Indeed, there are a group of people in this world with rich experience. The Qingyang Mountain Rebel Army in Qinyuan has been operating in Qinyuan for nine years. Using a county as an experimental area is enough to explain a lot of things.

If Qinyuan is willing to cooperate.

The imperial court can get tens of thousands of experienced and knowledgeable reform workers at once, and they have firm beliefs and can fight against the remaining local conservative forces.

only……

"Is Your Majesty not worried?"

Zhang Zhixiang still asked, because such a large-scale use of the rebel army was almost equivalent to handing over the rural management of the entire north of Ming Dynasty to the rebel army.

If Wang Jiangque, or the leaders of the rebel army have ideas.

Maybe it can directly overthrow Daming.

"Although I am the emperor of Daming, the future of Huaxia is not on my shoulders alone. If they really want to overthrow Daming directly, I will be happy to relax. You can leave me a yard in Longhu Mountain in Anping."

"Anyway, the Qingyang Mountain Uprising Army is also your masterpiece. In this world, you have a headache."

"I don't worry about it anymore."

"You can't hold back the Qingyangshan uprising army by yourself, and if they don't know how to think about reality after completing the rural reform, and don't know what the problem is in front of Chinese civilization, then they can only say Due to bad luck, the 500 years that should have been delayed will eventually appear."

Jiajing will not compromise with the enemy, but his own children are useless, and parents have no choice but to do so.

One generation cannot do everything, and any cause needs a successor.

Zhang Zhixiang smiled wryly: "Your Majesty is playing tricks."

Jiajing got up and said with a smile: "I want me to worry about these trivial matters all day long, but you just practice leisurely. How can there be such a good thing? This is your burden. You can figure out a way for yourself."

Looking at Jiajing standing on the boat with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Zhixiang knew that Jiajing had never attached great importance to the throne. For him, this position was just a responsibility from the beginning to the end. He yearned for the freedom of idle clouds and wild cranes more than anyone else.

It's just fate, and Yang Ting and the gang, in order to find a puppet who has no father to rely on, chose him.

He had to shoulder the responsibility of the old Zhu's family.

……

Ming Xiao Mausoleum is located on Shenlie Mountain in the northeast of the imperial city.

Going east from Zhengyangmen is the Temple of Heaven. Going north after passing the Temple of Heaven, you can go up the mountain, pass through the Golden Gate and Red Gate, and you will arrive at Xiaoling Mausoleum.

The entire route was grandly arranged. Jiajing was willing to go to Fengtian Hall to have peace talks with them, and the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing reciprocated. The ceremony of worshiping the ancestors was still in place.

Knowing that the emperor was going to worship Taizu, the people in Nanjing were very excited.

What happened in Huai'an and Yangzhou has more or less spread. People know that this is an emperor who has a heart for the people and wants to make a difference. People also have a hunch that this time's ancestor worship will be a beginning.

So very early on, people gathered at the Temple of Heaven.

It is not the kind of cheers when the emperor enters the city, but a kind of silent watching and anticipation. Jiajing's guard of honor walks through this strange silence and arrives at the Temple of Heaven.

After going through some ceremonies, I have paid homage to the Empress Dowager.

Jiajing stood on the Temple of Heaven and looked at the countless people. After a long time, he said: "I, I toured the heavens in the south and worshiped the Taizu, just to make three chapters with the people of the world."

"First, I will change my nationality to rule the people, cancel the slave status of the scholars, peasants, businessmen, lowly households, and all the people in the world will be of the same nationality. The imperial court will issue edicts to the world, proclaiming the rights and obligations of our Ming people. From now on, you don't need to kneel down to the rich, the officials, or me! Personal dignity, all beings are equal!"

"This method, should you wait!!"

After a brief period of confusion and silence, there was the sound of agreement from the mountains and the tsunami. Even if there were dissatisfied people in the crowd, they looked around, but they dared not say a word.

Xia Yan and others, who were watching the ceremony, had only five words to comment on this: "I will cut myself off from the gentry".

Then, Jiajing continued to make appointments.

"The second rule!"

"At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drips down the soil. Who knows that the food on the plate is full of hard work. The poem "Compassion for Farmers" expresses the hardships of farmers all over the world. Every grain of grain is exchanged for sweat, and the whole world The hardest farmers are the ones who have the hardest life."

"Those who are covered in silk are not silkworm farmers."

"I have always wondered why the poorest peasants have to bear the main tax of the imperial court?"

"Since the founding of the country, thousands of years of vicissitudes have changed, and the people who suffer the most are still the common people. But my royal family of Zhu Ming, since the Taizu's difficult road, opened up the mountains and forests, and with a piece of Huaiyou commoner, became the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. This is He De How can?"

"After much deliberation, I guess, because my old Zhu's family was a farmer, so I should help the farmers all over the world."

"I declare."

"From now on, the land and acres in the world will never be paid."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Of course, the common people wanted to say hello urgently, but the pie fell from the sky, and everyone would murmur in their hearts. They did not doubt that the emperor wanted to do good things, but this is unrealistic.

If the land tax is no longer collected, how will the court function?

After a brief silence, there was an extremely noisy discussion, everyone was arguing, and finally hundreds of respected old people in the crowd were pushed forward.

They came to the Temple of Heaven, and after paying homage to Jiajing at the top, one of them asked as a representative: "Caomin dare to ask the emperor, if the land tax is not collected, what should the court do if it has no money? If it is sent with exorbitant taxes, then it is better to collect the land tax." good."

Jiajing asked, "Are the common people rich, or the gentry and merchants rich?"

Old man Da: "Of course they are rich."

Jiajing then replied: "That's it, I will collect taxes from whoever has money!"

Old man: "This, this..."

Not only him, but all the old people were speechless and didn't know what to say, even if judging from their life experiences, what Jiajing said was extremely unrealistic and extremely dangerous.

But in the end they all knelt down and wanted to bow to Jiajing.

"I told you not to kneel!"

Startled, they hurriedly stood up, looked at each other, and finally Qi Qi bowed to Jiajing.

Before they could straighten up, Jiajing asked everyone, "Do you dare to agree to the second point?"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!!"

The answer to Jiajing was that it was the cry of mountains and tsunami. Even if Jiajing repeatedly said that they were not allowed to kneel, they still knelt down. Countless people knelt there, crying bitterly, like children who had suffered countless grievances and finally returned to their parents. embrace.

The old people are also wiping their tears one by one.

At this time, an old man asked with concern and respect: "Your Majesty, what about the third clause?"

"Article [-]..."

Jiajing took a deep breath, his voice shook the whole field, and he said loudly: "When the world is a public day, it is time to return the government to the people. In my lifetime, I will definitely hand over the power of governing the country, and issue an edict to tell future generations!"

"I am originally a commoner, what can the world do to me?"

"Follow the teachings of Huang Ming's ancestors, the people of the world will send the Zhu family to the throne, and the Zhu family will return the world to the people!"

"From now on."

"You are the masters of Daming!"

"Da Ming is the Ming of the people of the world, not the Ming of one family and one surname!"
