Video Through History: the Beginning of the Inventory of Ten Kings

Even if all ten periods were actually his Ming emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang would no longer care.

Anyway,

Daming is probably going to completely become a laughing stock in the time and space of Myriad Realms!

"Come on!"

"Let's go to prepare the altar first, I don't know if we have to go again!"

"This……"

The Prince Zhu Biao, who was on the side, was hesitant when he heard the words, and said with some trepidation in his voice:

"Father, the soldiers who came back last time haven't been rotated yet, and we have to guard against the Mongolian remnants at the border..."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows twitched, as if he had found something to vent, he snorted coldly:

"There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent a thief?"

"Mongolian remnants?"

"Since you don't worry about them, then destroy them completely!"

Zhu Biao: "???"

………………

three days later.

In the complicated mood of the emperors, Qin Feng's video arrived as promised.

………………

[The fourth issue of the top ten absurd emperors in history is officially launched! 】

………………

With a thunderous explosion, the life of Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun officially began under the gaze of all the emperors in the Ten Thousand Realms.

………………

[Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun was born in Yuwangfu in September 1563. 】

[As the third son of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun's two older brothers died early. 】

[Because of this, he became the eldest of all the children of Ming Muzong. 】

[In the second year of Longqing, Zhu Yijun, who was less than six years old, was named the crown prince, and Zhu Yiliu, the fourth son of Muzong, was named King Lu. 】

[Unlike his father Ming Muzong, Zhu Yijun was extremely lucky. 】

[At that time, King Lu was only two years old, and he was born to the same mother as him. In addition, Mu Zong's life was short, and his two brothers died young, so Zhu Yijun didn't need to go through the battle between you. 】

[When he was a child, he was a smart boy who was loved by everyone. 】

[As an iron-clad prince, Zhu Yijun was trained as a future prince from an early age. 】

[Ming Muzong specially appointed a group of ministers who were well-known inside and outside the court to guide him in his studies. 】

[His mother, Mrs. Li, was even more strict with him. 】

【It is said that...】

[As long as Zhu Yijun is a little slack in his studies, the Queen Mother Li will call him to kneel in front of her. 】

[And every time the feast was being talked about, Empress Dowager Li rushed to the East Palace before the fifth watch and woke up Zhu Yijun, who was still sleeping. 】

【Other than that...】

[Also replaced his personal eunuch with his own, responsible for monitoring Zhu Yijun's every move. 】

[As long as he makes a little mistake, he will report it to the Queen Mother Li, in exchange for a series of beatings and scolding from the Queen Mother. 】

[It is under the almost perverted strict requirements, coupled with the dedicated counseling of the lecturer, and Zhu Yijun's own hard work, that his knowledge has continued to increase with age. 】

[So much so that when Zhu Yijun mentioned this experience later, he said very proudly: "I can read at the age of five."]

………………

The narration paused slightly, and in the video, a picture appeared.

I saw that in the palace of Beijing City, all the ministers were waiting in the hall early, with a trace of respect and seriousness on their faces.

On the throne in the center of the crowd, a child who was only one meter tall was wearing a dragon robe.

The immature face is extremely cold, trying to make himself appear more dignified.

But it is precisely because of this that the ministers below are amazed.

He sighed that Zhu Yijun, who was only five years old in front of him, was able to stand in front of the ministers with composure.

Really a good seedling to be the emperor!

"His Majesty."

Just when everyone was speechless, an official of the Ministry of Housing among the ministers walked up to them.

"A few days ago, the Henan area suffered from drought, and tens of thousands of hectares of grain were not harvested. The local prefectures and counties asked the court for support, and asked Your Majesty to decide."

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun in front of the stage took a note from his pocket without hesitation.

"I have promised to have [*] shi of grain, and the warehouse is open to release grain. At the same time, Chen Da, the minister of households, is the minister of imperial envoy, who is solely responsible for carrying grain for disaster relief."

"If someone gets rich from it, once they are found out, they will be executed on the spot. At the same time, they will be linked to the three clans, and their property will be searched!"

Read the harshest words with the most childish voice.

At this time, he naturally could not understand the meaning of these words on the paper.

But even so,

Zhu Yijun is also doing his best so that he, as a child, can perform his duties as an emperor.

And this scene fell in the eyes of the officials below, and their hearts were all excited.

With such an emperor, why is Daming unhappy?

then,

The screen freezes, and the narration sounds again.

………………

[In May of the sixth year of Longqing, Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty died and was in the Qianqing Palace.Just ten days later, Zhu Yijun, the crown prince, officially ascended the throne and became the thirteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[On the sixth day of his ascension to the throne, Gao Gong, a once mighty powerful minister, was removed from office. 】

[He was replaced by Zhang Juzheng, the founder of Wanli ZTE in the Ming Dynasty! 】

[And the next ten years are the ten years of Zhang Juzheng's reform. 】

[With the support of Wanli's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, and the assistance of Feng Bao, the supervisor of Li, Zhang Juzheng completely let go of his hands and feet and carried out a series of reforms in the Ming Dynasty. 】

[With his advanced knowledge and severe methods, he abruptly dragged a devastated Ming from the embarrassing situation of constant internal and external troubles. 】

[Back then, Zhang Juzheng had heard and witnessed the efficiency of Jiajing's quagmire, and therefore, he hated it. 】

[After years of reflection, Zhang Juzheng has deeply realized that the root cause of this is not only the corruption at the top and enriching one's own pockets, but also the shirk and laziness among bureaucrats at all levels. 】

[For this reason, he proposed the famous "testing method" to improve efficiency. 】

[Through the examination, the Ming Dynasty formed an extremely sound supervision system. 】

[Led by the cabinet, six departments, six ministries, and then to major local officials, decades of lazy governance have been completely eliminated. 】

[In addition, he also emphasized that "public selection, dedicated assignments, long-term appointments, and strict inspections", all work is approved by real names, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. 】

[In the third year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng rectified academic politics, stipulating that academic officials and Confucian students in schools at all levels must "respect and practice practically", and even banned private academies all over the world, requiring all of them to be included in the unified concept of the government system. 】

[As soon as this move was made, the whole country was in an uproar.For a time, there was a lot of opposition. 】

[However, this did not stop Zhang Juzheng's determination to reform. 】

Chapter 130 Wanli New Deal?The capricious Zhu Yijun

[Zhu Yijun was young at the right age, and Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's teacher, was deeply trusted by him. 】

[With the support of the emperor, Zhang Juzheng's reforms in the political field were fruitful.What followed was economic reform. 】

At this point, the narration was another meal, and a picture of the situation of the Ming Dynasty caught the eyes of all the emperors.

………………

In the late Jiajing period, the northern post was captive, the south was turbulent, and there were continuous famines among the people.

The emperor was obsessed with alchemy, and the treasury was becoming increasingly depleted under such a loss, and the fiscal deficit became more and more serious.

"His Majesty."

Inside the palace, Zhang Juzheng, who had gray hair and beard, was kneeling in front of the young Zhu Yijun with a sincere expression on his face.

"The national treasury has been depleted for years, and the Ming Dynasty seems to be unable to make ends meet."

"I also hope that Your Majesty can lead by example and work with the ministers to increase revenue and reduce expenditure!"

As the last sentence fell, the voice of the narration sounded again.

………………

[Economic reform is nothing more than opening up sources of income and reducing expenditures. 】

[Let's talk about open source first, Zhang Juzheng strengthened the management ability of the Ministry of Household by organizing the books of tax collection on a large scale, so that the Ministry of Household can control the whole country more directly. 】

[On this basis, he proposed "punishing corruption to satisfy the people" and "reasonableness to satisfy the nation", and to increase fiscal revenue by punishing the two loopholes of corruption and tax arrears. 】

[The former and Kao Chengfa complement each other, and for the latter, Zhang Juzheng proposed Qingzhang Tianmu. 】

【To know……】

[The reason why the land owed taxes in the Ming Dynasty was that if the common people cultivated their own crops and encountered famine and the emperor did not cut taxes, they would not be able to live on. 】

[But if the title is given to a big family and becomes a servant, the tax paid will be reduced. 】

[And big families are good at land mergers, so the fish scale atlas designed by the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang fell apart. 】
