Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 112: Aristocratic family structure, a big hat kills!
with full force!

Chen Yiqin scolded the entire cabinet equally.

Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang are black-hearted.

Gao Gong is blind.

Being in a high position, you are bound to have a bad temper.

But faced with such well-founded abuse, even Gao Gong could only stand there with his face flushed and breathing heavily, unable to even retort.

As the head of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng always had a great advantage, which was his ability to swallow insults.

Zhang Juzheng bowed to Chen Yiqin as a disciple and asked, "Yifu, if you have any way to improve the suffering of farmers, please tell us clearly."

Swear again.

Just scolded the three of them to death.

The problem of low grain prices hurting farmers is still there.

If there is a solution, then tell me. If not, then that's just pure insult.

Chen Yiqin didn't care about the meaning of the prime minister's words, and said seriously: "In the early years of Hongwu, agriculture and sericulture were encouraged. This was because after the chaos, the people were encouraged to farm in peace.

In the early years of Yongle, agriculture and sericulture were encouraged, because after the chaos, the people needed to farm in peace. "

During the Hongwu period, China regained the world from the Yuan court. During the Yongle period, the country was in ruins after the Jingnan Rebellion.

Chaos, something different.

Zhang, Gao and Li couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement with what Chen Yiqin said.

"After the early years of Hongxi, the heavens were cruel, and the emperors of all dynasties encouraged agriculture and sericulture. This was the way for the people of the world to survive, and the people continued to be encouraged to farm in peace."

Chen Yiqin described the changes in persuading farmers to grow crops, saying, "If you don't want to hurt farmers, you should allow farmers to grow other things. When grain prices rise next year, people will naturally go back to growing grain."

The lock-up system of Emperor Taizu Gao.

It not only locks up people's identities, but also other things. Take farmers for example. They can only plant what they are allowed to plant on a piece of land.

Even if the owner of the land changes, the nature of the land remains unchanged.

The land used to grow rice has been used to grow rice for more than a hundred years, and the land used to grow sorghum has been used to grow sorghum for more than a hundred years.

This is the tragedy of farmers. When grain prices are low, they cannot grow other more valuable crops in the fields. They plant crops every year and have a good harvest every year, but they cannot sell the grain at a good price, and they become poorer every year.

Gao Gong's heart skipped a beat, and he said coldly, "You want to change the system of Emperor Taizu Gao and open up land registration to farmers?"

If you destroy my heart, I will destroy your body!

The laws of our ancestors come first.

What Chen Yiqin said was extremely outrageous.

His crime should be punished!
Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang frowned slightly, and their eyes changed slightly when they looked at Gao Gong.

Being an official in the same dynasty is like being on the same boat. If one falls into the water first and the other falls into the water later, no one will be spared.

Being in the same cabinet, we should stick together. Even though I have been scolded a few times, I cannot just accuse someone of something.

Chen Yiqin remained unmoved. Facing Gao Gong's murderous gaze, he said, "Natural disasters are nothing to be feared, ancestors are nothing to be followed, and people's words are nothing to be pitied!"

This is a great hat!

I got it!
Zhang, Gao, and Li suddenly felt a chill running up from their tailbones.

These "three deficiencies" came from the insistence of Wang Anshi, a famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, during the entire Xining Reform period that human affairs are more important than natural disasters, ancestors, and human words.

At this moment, Chen Yiqin seemed to be standing in front of Wang Anshi and on the shoulders of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, shouting out the names of the people.

If Chen Yiqin had really been arrested according to the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao, and recorded in history books, I am afraid that every one of the people present would have been criticized by the people in the future.

It is true that people are constantly repeating past mistakes, but they are not stupid and will know who is speaking for them and who is truly working for the people. Gao Gong took out a "knife" and stretched it in front of Chen Yiqin. Chen Yiqin not only did not dodge, but told Gao Gong that the position was wrong, and then helped Gao Gong put the knife on his heart, indicating Gao Gong to stab here, stab hard.

Chen Yiqin was speaking for the farmers of the world, which was equivalent to standing in front of the farmers of the world. Stabbing Chen Yiqin to death would be like stabbing the farmers of the world in the heart.

A move to retreat in order to advance.

Gao Gong attacked and defended the alien in an instant, and was defeated. He snorted through his nose, but did not dare to respond or stretch out his knife.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng felt a headache. He had to clean up the mess caused by the cabinet members, and he had to say what the cabinet members could not say. "Yifu, stay calm. The ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao had his own considerations.

Liberalizing land registration will inevitably lead farmers to pursue crops that can be sold for more money. This is beneficial to farmers, but not entirely beneficial to the court.

If there are no farmers in our Ming Dynasty to grow crops, what will our Ming Dynasty eat?

I know that this statement may seem absolute. In most cases, most people will grow food without any supervision or restriction from the court.

But disasters are common, but good harvests are rare. I am not cursing the Ming Dynasty, but this is the fact. If we allow farmers to pursue profits, it may damage the food foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the suffering of the farmers... the court is not unaware of it, but for the sake of our great Ming dynasty, and for the sake of the three religions and eight classes other than farmers, can we wait a little longer? When the great prosperity comes, the court will certainly compensate the farmers for their suffering."

Three religions and nine streams.

The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the Confucianists, the Yin-Yangists, the Taoists, the Legalists, the Agriculturalists, the School of Names, the Mohists, the School of Diplomacy and the Eclectic School are collectively called the Nine Schools.

food.

It is the cornerstone of people's life in the Ming Dynasty.

Stabilizing grain production is something the court must be concerned about, and grain prices, well, can wait.

In short, let the people suffer a little longer, and when the times reach prosperity, we will compensate the farmers.

"A prosperous era?"

Chen Yiqin looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "May I ask you, Prime Minister, what is the era of great prosperity? When has our great China ever experienced the era of great prosperity that you are talking about?"

This prosperous era, like the Confucian ideal of great harmony, is illusory and has deceived Chinese farmers for thousands of years.

Zhang Juzheng was silent.

What he said just now could not be scrutinized. It was a way for everyone in the cabinet to get out of the situation, but Chen Yiqin had no intention of backing off and kept pressing forward.

As the prime minister of the current cabinet, he was forced into a corner and felt a little angry.

He just couldn't understand why Chen Yiqin, who came from a prominent family, would refuse to give in on the farmers' issue?

What does the world’s grain prices have to do with the Chen family?

Gao Gong was also silent.

Li Chunfang felt the grim atmosphere in the cabinet and didn't know where to break the ice.

"It seems that the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister have nothing to say to me and are oblivious to the suffering of the farmers in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. In this case, I will go to the palace to see the emperor."

Chen Yiqin turned and walked out of the Government Affairs Hall and headed towards Yuxi Palace.

Li Chunfang, who had a good relationship with Chen Yiqin, glanced at Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, gritted his teeth and caught up with his old friend.

At this point, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong could no longer stay in the Government Affairs Hall, so they simply followed him.

In front of Yuxi Palace.

Li Chunfang finally couldn't help wondering and asked Chen Yiqin, "Yifu, why do you want to help the farmers?"

"For my Chen family!"

"Ok?"

"Ordinary families only need to work hard to make money, but my Chen family wants a peaceful and stable world."
