Can you live forever

Chapter 219 Anshi can't come out, just like the common people

Industrialization requires technology and capital.

Later generations have two paths to go through, one is the colonial expansion to complete the accumulation of primitive capital; the other is the scissors gap between workers and peasants, using agricultural surplus to supply industrial development.

Daming is different from later generations.

After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, China was poor and white, and in the Ming Dynasty, according to Marco Polo's words describing the East, gold was everywhere.

Since Zheng He's voyages to the West and the start of global trade, more than [-] million taels of silver has flowed into Daming every year, not to mention the wealth of other materials.

Under the huge trade surplus of hundreds of years, under the peaceful development of Ming Dynasty for nearly 200 years.

The wealth accumulated by the whole society is extremely amazing. Its only problem is that the money is not in the hands of the people who should own it.

Jiajing could completely give up the land tax, and he didn't even require the gentry to pay the grain as a whole, because the imperial court did not collect the land tax, but the landlords had to collect [-]% or even [-]% of the rent at most.

Needless to say, who will the common people help?
The gentry pays all the food?No, no need, the gentry will not pay the grain if they don’t pay the grain. If the fields are gone, naturally there is no need to pay grain.

As for the fiscal gap, political turmoil?
Will the common people support the issuance of national debt after the land tax is waived?They are only afraid that the court has not issued enough debts!

In fact, ordinary people can't get the national debt at all, because the anchor of the national debt is Yanyin. There are so many businessmen in the world, how many people can do the salt business?

This is the benefit of national sovereignty.

Financial freedom can only be achieved by mastering national sovereignty, not to mention that there is too much national debt to pay back such things. As long as the currency is no longer anchored to precious metals such as gold and silver, and becomes a sovereign currency without specific anchors, the effect of currency will be You can see its essence.

The essence of currency is circulation.

Daming not only wants to provide liquidity for the country, but also for the whole world. The currency gap is huge.

and so.

Daming does not lack capital at all, what Daming lacks is centralization.

These things, Jiajing discussed with Zhang Zhixiang last night, that's why today's tax exemption declaration came about.And the last one, returning power to the people, exploded in the crowd like a bomb.

If it weren't for Jiajing's rhetoric, the common people would think that the emperor was controlled by others.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done? It is to return the power to the people. We grassroots don't know how to govern the country. Please take it back and bless me."

The old people collectively objected, and this time they knelt down regardless of Jiajing's request.

The people below are even more so, and they all muttered to ask His Majesty to take back the order. Their logic is very simple. Jiajing waived the land tax, and it is valid for him to be the emperor. Continue to free?
The common people really don't ask for much, and they know better what they can hold and what they can't hold.

Jiajing stepped down from the altar, helped the old people up one by one, and then asked: "Do the officials know what the people want, or do you know yourself?"

The nearest old man replied, "It is us."

Jiajing asked again: "If you let the old gentlemen rule a village, will there be any problems?"

The old people thought about it, and they all thought that being a village head would be no problem, and they all said that there was no difficulty. Jiajing asked again: "Among you gentlemen, is there any talent for governing a village?"

Now only five old people said yes.

"Do you have the talent to govern a county?"

Now that there was no one around, Jiajing turned his head and asked everyone, "Do you have the talent to rule a county?"

It doesn't matter whether there are scholars in the crowd or those who are really confident, in short, there should be dozens of people, although there are probably only two or three who really have this ability.

However, Jiajing did not subdivide it.

He just said: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty cut the White Snake Uprising, defeated Xiang Yu and became the Supreme Being. During the Han Dynasty, half of the generals who came out of Pei County were arrested."

"Today in my Ming Dynasty, Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored China. In the early years of the kingdom, half of the generals and ministers came from Fengyang."

"Govern a country with the talent of a county."

"Is the country in chaos?"

"You are not incapable of governing the country, but you really have no right to govern the country!"

As soon as Jiajing's words came out, everyone was in a daze with excitement, some were eager to try, and some couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, how can I get the right to govern the country without taking the imperial examination?"

Jiajing looked around at everyone, responding to those expectant eyes.

Said: "If you govern a village, you will be supported by the village, and you will be the representative of the village. Then you can help govern a township. If you get the support of a township, you can govern a county."

"Village, Township, County, State, Prefecture, Province, Dynasty."

"Power comes from the people, push and rule."

"Since I have made three chapters of law with the world, I will give you the legal principles. Now that the government has not changed, you can deal with it yourself. If the government makes mistakes, you can correct them yourself. If the government keeps making mistakes and does not correct them, you can deal with them yourself. It can be replaced!"

"As small as a village, as large as a government, it can be done!"

As soon as Jiajing's words came out, the people's blood boiled with enthusiasm, while the officials' faces were pale, or they were frightened and angry. How will this world be governed in the future?What does it look like?
Let a group of people come to correct the officials?
They're back, they're all back, the style of the Hongwu period, they're all back... It's hard to be an official now.

as emperor.

The greatest power is actually legal principles, especially the emperor of Ming Dynasty, whose legal principles are unprecedented. When the emperor of Ming Dynasty told the people, you should pursue fairness and participate in governing the country.

They have enough reason to act.

Any officials who dare to stop them are traitors!

Therefore, Jiajing, with the support of the people, marched towards Xiaoling in a mighty manner, offering sacrifices to Taizu Hongwu! !
……

"It's changed."

On the Qinhuai River to the south of the Temple of Heaven, in a black-covered boat, Xu Jie murmured while holding a teacup.

Yan Na anxiously said: "Zisheng, before we even started, Jiajing announced to return the government to the people, let the people self-govern and participate in government affairs, what should we do?"

Xu Jie didn't answer, but said with emotion: "Emperors in ancient and modern times rarely have the courage of Jiajing."

"As the national teacher, Zhang Zhixiang had a great influence on Jiajing."

"but."

"Since Jiajing returned the government to the people, we just follow the trend. What form the people want to intervene in politics is something to be explored. Isn't our road a 'good road'?"

"This is an opportunity."

"If I am invited to go up by the princes of Nanjing, although I have the power for a while, I will be restricted, but if I am carried up by the people in the south of the Yangtze River, even the princes of Nanjing can only lower their eyebrows to me."

"Yan Na, did you see it?"

"By virtue of its strength, the good wind sent me to Qingyun."

Xu Jie raised his hand slowly, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence, but a gust of wind blew through his palm. At this moment, he seemed to have seen the future, the future in which he would rule the world.

If Anshi doesn't come out, he should be like the common people!

I, Xu Zisheng, are also like this.

　Thanks to "Fire Night Like Spirit" for the reward of 100 starting coins.
