Chapter 299 Ming Jun, tyrant, king of subjugation

"Hahahaha, my son, I am very happy! I misunderstood Sun Chuanting and my son. I have misunderstood you. A Shaanxi has achieved such a significant effect. Hum, other provinces can be seen how hateful it is! I will start to do it now, letting the provinces imitate the Shaanxi model, dismantle the fame of those scholars, and divide the wealthy families and the people. Well, this is just a royal relative, I have to think about it carefully. No matter what, I will raise the taxes of each province first. I will immediately draft an order to cancel all kinds of preferential treatments for scholars in the world. The taxes that should be paid cannot be reduced."

Emperor Chongzhen was full of energy, but he felt that he finally saw hope. Look at the other person in Shaanxi, there was not a single bandit. Although the people lived a difficult life, they could at least survive.

Let’s look at Henan, Shanxi, Huguang, Sichuan and other places. It is obviously much better than Shaanxi, but bandits are everywhere and dog officials are rampant. I can’t bear it anymore. I want to kill all the dog officials in the world, search all the rich and unkind businessmen, and cancel all the fame and treatment of those scholars. One Shaanxi can pay a tax of 700,000 taels, and there are dozens of Shaanxi provinces in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the treasury will not be able to get rich like inflatable balloons? Hahaha, the Ming Dynasty is saved.

Zhu Cilang was frightened when he heard this: "Father, never!"

It is the spring of the 14th year of Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen in the Ganqing Palace laughed at the sound of a pig. Shaanxi, which has always been a terror of bandits, actually cleans up the people's living. Although there are constant natural disasters and the people's lives are difficult, there are no rebellions in bandits again.

Originally, this was a breeding ground for breeding bandits, and Li Zicheng made his fortune here. Now, under the governance of Sun Chuanting, he has collected more than 1.13 million taels of silver and more than 400,000 stones of military ration.

These money and grains were only used to prepare the Qin soldiers on the surface. In fact, they also collected more than 700,000 taels of tax to the national treasury, more than 700,000 taels, just Shaanxi.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast, and even the barren Shaanxi could save 700,000 taels of silver and hand it over to the national treasury. In other provinces, aren’t you ashamed?

However, Shaanxi is just a pilot project after all. Although Sun Chuanting's drastic reforms have achieved remarkable results, they almost caused chaos in Shaanxi.

If other provinces also follow the Shaanxi model and fight against local tyrants and divide the land, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. First of all, the major landlords and bureaucratic classes will take the opportunity to rise up and fight to the end with the court. Examples from the late Sui Dynasty may be staged in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty promoted the imperial examination, changed the official system, revised the law, opened the canal, and moved to Kyoto. He fought in Tuyuhun in the west and Goguryeo three times. Such an emperor with the potential of a wise ruler suddenly destroyed the country. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian were a pair of brothers and brothers. A hundred years later, they could find an opportunity to drink a pot.

This emperor who was the most miserable emperor in history was an outstanding figure in both civil and military affairs. He had both literary and military skills. Tang poetry was passed down for thousands of years, but he did not know that Yang Guang's grand and grand "Drinking Horses and Walking in the Great Wall Caves to Conquer the Ministers", the crows flew for a few points, and the flowing water surrounded the lonely village. The setting sun was about to fall, and the "Ambition" was also his "Poems on Late Spring", "Poems on the River in Summer", "Poems on the Autumn", "Poems on the Winter Night", and "Poems on the Spring River Moon Night", first there was Yang Guang's poem, and then there was the same poem by Zhang Ruoxu of the Tang Dynasty, "Poems on the Spring River Moon Night".

Yang Guang's poems can be seen everywhere in Tang poetry. Such a wise ruler who has both literary and military skills was so badly criticized.

Of course, a good thing cannot cover up all evil, but a sin cannot abolish all merits. Yang Guang, like Chongzhen, was eager for quick success and instant benefits but failed to achieve it. As a result, the abuse of people's power finally backfired and caused chaos in the world. In the end, the Li family took the world away.

If Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi model was continued to be implemented in the Ming Dynasty, it would be likely that Yang Guang would follow the old path. Therefore, you must not be too hasty in this matter.

Emperor Chongzhen did not see through it, and he was still immersed in his dream, but Zhu Cilang, who was beside him, saw it clearly, and he seemed to be in his heart.

Chongzhen was stunned and looked at his son in confusion: "Why?"

"Father, I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu. If you do this, aren't you afraid of chaos in the world?"

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and calmed down. He was really blinded by joy. There was no such easy thing in the world. Didn’t Sun Chuanting almost cause chaos in Shaanxi? One-third of the officials in the entire Shaanxi officialdom were dismissed from office. There were people rebelling everywhere in Shaanxi. If Sun Chuanting had not been under tremendous pressure and used his Qin soldiers to pacify them one by one. Not to mention that Chongzhen would have chopped off his head, even those rebels would have chopped Sun Chuanting up.

There is an iron-fisted Sun Chuanting in Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Fujian, and Nanjing. There are no Sun Chuanting in these places. Once other provinces follow this model, the provinces have long rebelled one after another.

In fact, it is not a big mistake for Emperor Chongzhen to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. The Ming Dynasty was like this, so who would not be in a hurry. Fortunately, Chongzhen had another advantage. When he believed in a person, he would believe him unconditionally. For example, when Yuan Chonghuan fooled him for five years to pacify Liao, Chongzhen believed in this and was very favored to Yuan Chonghuan.

However, after disappointing Chongzhen, Chongzhen began to become suspicious and suspicious.

But Zhu Cilang is his son, and his brothers fight against tigers and father and son fight. Others will cheat him, but his son will never. Therefore, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already begged all his hopes on Zhu Cilang.

This is a good thing. At least every suggestion from Zhu Cixuan will be of great importance to Chongzhen. This is the best booster for his future ambitions. As long as his father supports him, nothing in the world can stump him Zhu Cixuan.

"Emperor, what should we do next?" Chongzhen looked forward to it.

Zhu Cilang suddenly felt a little distressed. What a proud man my father was. Moreover, he was an emperor. Chongzhen's eyes now looked like a child, looking helplessly at Zhu Cilang, who was only thirteen years old.

Zhu Cilang is thirteen years old, and is already fourteen years old. The ancients seemed to be very precocious, and Zhu Cilang, who was thirteen years old, looked more like a 15 or 16 years old.

What should I do next, Chongzhen began to get anxious again. I wished I could make peace in the world immediately. Zhu Cilang sighed: "Father, Sun Chuanting's actions in Shaanxi are actually very risky. But this is not the case, it is even more dangerous for our Ming Dynasty. Since Shaanxi was decided, Li Zicheng would not have much climate for a while. But Zhang Xianzhong had to be careful, and there was also Liaodong. Father, my son wanted to go to Liaodong again."

Zhu Cilang had a vague feeling, based on his understanding, in Liaodong, Huangtaiji of the Qing Dynasty was an extremely difficult character to deal with. He suffered a great loss last time in Yizhou City, and he would never give up.
