Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 721 Old and New Conflict (1)

Responsibility and responsibility, for the official team of Ming Dynasty, is actually relatively lacking. The root cause is the past party struggle, which caused the atmosphere to deteriorate and deteriorate.

Too many people become officials for the sake of official career and profit, thus forgetting their original intention.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is like a big dye vat.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this clearly, and made many adjustments and arrangements for this, so that the hard-working faction of Ming Dynasty would not suffer unfair treatment.

"Xu Qing, you have to take care of your body."

Emperor Chongzhen was emotional, looked at Xu Guangqi who had lost a lot of weight, stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down, we are the monarchs and ministers here, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk, don't be too strict with the etiquette.

It's not easy for you, the chief minister of the cabinet, to do it.

I also know it in my heart.

The current situation between the government and the opposition seems to be relatively stable, but in fact it is constantly undercurrent. Their disputes and oppositions are nothing more than my blocking the way of speech and arbitrariness. "

"Your Majesty, things are by no means as simple as you think."

Xu Guangqi clasped his hands and said: "The situation faced by the state is actually very bad. Henan's trial implementation of the stalls into the mu, and Shaanxi's trial implementation of the combination of officials and gentry paying food and errands have created great public opinion and controversy.

There are many people who come to Beijing to sue imperial court.

Some officials of the Central Committee of the North Korea said nothing on the surface, but secretly fueled the flames. If these matters are not properly resolved, there will be big problems sooner or later. "

In fact, since the implementation of the reform reform, in a sense, it has been unable to push forward.

Before the old problems are fully resolved, the dividends generated by the past reforms have almost been consumed.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this very well.

If you want to continue to deepen the reform in Daming, you must do a good job in the previous planning and deployment. By expanding internal and external demand, let the various groups involved enjoy the dividends of the reform, and then drive further reforms.

Continue to open the sea for this purpose.

The arms trade is for that.

Support development is for this purpose.

The development of state-owned enterprises is for this purpose.

The big infrastructure is for this...

Emperor Chongzhen is using his method to effectively transfer conflicts, so that some internal reforms will not cause major reactions, or even rebellion.

Benefits can be substituted.

But even if this is the case, there are still some problems that cannot be covered up.

"Xu Qing, I just want to ask you a question."

Emperor Chongzhen sternly said: "Salt administration is rectified, fire consumption is pulled out, stalwarts are divided into acres, and officials and gentry pay food and errands together. Are these trial new policies good or bad for the state, the country, and the people?"

Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone what the current contradictions of Ming Dynasty were.

After all, it's a battle between the old and the new.

The transfer of the economic structure is not as simple as talking about it. Even now, let's not talk about other regions, just talk about the northern provinces of Ming Dynasty.

There are still many obstructive forces, who do not want to follow the wave of reform, participate in industrial development, or participate in opening up the sea. They only have land in their eyes.

The small-scale peasant economy that has been passed down for thousands of years wants to gradually move closer to the industrial economy, but it is not as simple as talking about it. There are too many things mixed behind the scenes, too many groups are affected, and too many levels are involved.

There is only one core.

That is a privilege!
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to gradually break the privileges, so that the historical accounts owed by Daming in the past could be gradually made up, and then return to the normal path.

It is unrealistic to maintain absolute fairness, but Emperor Chongzhen wanted to maintain relative fairness, at least to prevent darkness from becoming the mainstream.

But this matter is too difficult.

"Your Majesty, these new policies are good."

Xu Guangqi pondered for a moment, bowed and said: "If these new policies can be tried and effective in various places, they will be able to effectively combat land annexation and curb local lawlessness.

But the problem now is that there are too many.

Your Majesty is ambitious, which is a good thing.

But His Majesty also needs to consider the reality. If the above-mentioned new policies can be tried out gradually instead of appearing together now, the situation of the country will not be like this. "

"Why don't I want to do that, but I don't have that much time."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, "If you follow what the Qing family said, and take the example of distributing households to mu as an example, if you want to gradually implement it across the country, it will be absolutely impossible to implement it without a span of ten years.

A New Deal takes ten years.

But there is not only one problem that Guochao is facing. These problems really need to be studied carefully. There are inextricably linked in places that cannot be seen.

The Qing family felt that once the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were exploited and oppressed to a critical point, would they give Guochao such an opportunity and time? "

Xu Guangqi was silent.

His head is messed up.

Xu Guangqi's position before becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet is destined to be incomplete in his consideration of issues. After all, there are many things that are not within his reach.

But as the chief assistant of the cabinet, even if his position was conferred by Emperor Chongzhen, but with the support of the emperor, many things began to pile up in front of him.

If you are not in this position, you will never know how many problems exist in this position and what kind of situation you need to face.

"Actually, has the Qing family ever thought that the current disputes between the government and the opposition seem to focus on these issues, but in fact there are many deep meanings hidden."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Xu Guangqi: "This is the struggle between imperial power and subject power. Under the rule of Ming Dynasty, there are too many people. I hope I can be a foolish emperor and don't change the past. Follow the rules so that no one's interests will be damaged.

But since Yuji ascended the throne, I have not followed their ideas.

Clearly opening the sea to the outside world touched the interests of some people.

Clarifying the disaster relief system touched the interests of some people.

Clarifying the development of the industry touches the interests of some people.

Clarifying the tariff rectification has touched the interests of some people.

The Special Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Disaster Relief Administration, etc., part of the powers assigned to them, including many subsequent things, are all like this.

The Qing family thinks that the current Daming is better than the early days of Zhenyuji, which one is better?
In the past, if I wanted to transfer 100 million taels of silver, no, 50 taels of silver, I had to carefully consider it, and it would even cause a lot of controversy in the court.

If I didn't see all kinds of bad things, how could I be so arbitrary?How can you keep your mouth shut?The crux of the problem is not with me. "

Do you enjoy being the emperor of Ming Dynasty?
Emperor Chongzhen didn't think so.

Behind the seemingly glamorous appearance, there are actually many constraints hidden. If you want to do many things, it is not because you have the power of life and death that you can really do it. After all, there are too many privileged groups.
