The crisis of trust? Everyone here was stunned. Is the reputation of the court more important than military? When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, who in the world believed in the Qing court? The reason why the Qing Dynasty was today was entirely due to the invincible Eight Banners Cavalry. The prestige of the Qing court was established entirely by bloody and cruel suppression. Anyone who did it with faith?

Although everyone was dissatisfied with Zhenwu's words, they refused to refute it. They just silently responded. Shang Yang moved his trees to win the trust of the people and promote reforms. Even if he debated this matter, he would not be able to distinguish between the superiority and the inferiority of the people for a while. If they argued with Zhenwu, they were at a disadvantage first. Besides, it was meaningless to argue about it.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhenwu knew that they did not agree with this. After thinking about it for a while, he vaguely guessed everyone's thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Conquering the world is not the same as governing the world. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry was unparalleled in the world, so why did there be no national destiny for a hundred years? How could the world be governed by force?

Why should I emphasize the credibility of the court? People do not have faith, families do not have harmony, merchants do not have faith, and countries do not have faith, and countries do not have faith, and they will be unstable. Take disaster relief as an example. The Qing Dynasty had natural disasters of different sizes every year. The people trust the court, and the victims would wait for relief and resettlement with peace of mind. What would happen if the people did not trust the court?

The victims will panic. If they are not as good as the court's relief, they will take risks for survival. They will attack the local government office and the rich gentry and gentry families, open warehouses and release grain, and then there will be large-scale riots and deterioration in the local disaster. The riots in Fujian were the ones I led to pacify. Although I have successfully appeased the victims of the riots, nine out of ten families were empty, and all the local county governments were destroyed. Not only were the local energy severely damaged, but the imperial court also worked hard to slaughter the troops. If this was the case every year and everywhere, even if the Qing Dynasty had a strong military force, how many years could it last?

What I have mentioned is only disaster relief. In fact, the court lacks credibility and harm is far more than this. At the least, the government order is inconsistent, the law is unfair, the public is resentful, and the social order is chaotic. At the worst, the etiquette and music are broken, the people are lost, the people are in ruins, the localities are corrupt, and the country is shaken."

After hearing what he said, everyone was moved. Zhang Penghong took the lead and bowed and said, "The emperor's holy thoughts are profound, and his penis is thorough, and his candle shines thousands of miles. This is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty."

Seeing this situation, Zhenwu knew that everyone would definitely praise the situation according to the memorial. He had already heard these verses, so he stretched out his hand and pressed them twice. He stopped everyone's praise, and then said: "I have recently reviewed the reforms of all generations. I have found that the reforms of all generations are all essentially ignorant of the people and the weak to harm the people to enrich the country."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, which was very surprised. What does Zhenwu mean? The reforms have always been because of the financial difficulties of the court and the income was exhausted. The purpose of the reforms was to enrich the country. This is naturally to exploit the people to enrich the country. Otherwise, whoever is full and has nothing to do to make trouble for the reforms? How many ministers who advocate reforms can have a good end? Who is not notorious for the monarch who advocates reforms? Besides, is it not to exploit the people to ensure the stability of the imperial court's annual income?

Zhenwu glanced at everyone and then said jokingly: "Shang Yang's reforms were weak and fooling the people. He clearly stated, 'The people were weak and the country was strong and the people were weak. Therefore, a country with good fortune should be a weaker country.' Shang Yang's reforms not only increased the exploitation of the people but also strengthened the control of the people, firmly bound the people to the land.

Emperor Wu of Han reformed the people blatantly plundered the people, perhaps calling it more appropriate. Measures such as selling official positions and titles, calculating and reporting, salt and iron official business, and controlling currency can be said to be a plunder in all aspects, regardless of wealth, agriculture and commerce. The madness of the means is the greatest change in the past dynasties, and it can be said to be a precedent for a generation.

The "equal land system" reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was a reform plan designed by the court to steal the people and taxes from the powerful landlords. This was a very moderate reform, which benefited the country, the people and the powerful landlords. The court was able to successfully share the land rent of the people with the powerful landlords peacefully.

The "Two Tax Law" by Yang Yan, the prime minister of Emperor Dezong of Tang, was a reform that was openly carried out to increase the income of the court. It not only incorporated all the taxes and miscellaneous taxes into the two tax laws, but also changed it into a formal taxation project, but also abolished the physical tax collection and pioneered the system of paying taxes with money, resulting in the high cost of money and low prices, but the court filled the warehouse with money and grain.

Wang Anshi's reform was just to secretly make money for the country under the guise of Fangtian equal tax. The Fangtian equal tax law was not only delayed, intermittent, but also ended in vain. However, the Qingmiao Law, the exemption law, the Market Change Law, etc. that could make money for the national treasury were implemented extremely resolutely and thoroughly.

Zhang Juzheng's One-Whip Law also made money for the country under the guise of fair tax burden, merged all the taxes and taxes, and did not reduce the tax burden of the people at all. On the contrary, these names of tying and taxes soon appeared again outside the "One-Whip Law", which was actually a disguised increase in taxes."

Speaking of this, Zhenwu stopped, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea. Everyone here was confused. What does this master mean? He said that he wanted to implement reforms that benefit the people? Among these four new policies, the only way to abolish the sacrificial policy is to benefit the people. Could there be other new policies?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhenwu put down the teacup and continued to say: "The purpose of the Qing Dynasty's implementation of the new policy is different from the reforms of all dynasties. It is not for the purpose of increasing the income of the court, nor for ignoring the people and weakening the people as a means of enriching the country. The Qing Dynasty wanted to enrich the country, but also strengthen the people. This is the essential difference between the Qing Dynasty's implementation of the new policy and the reforms of all dynasties.

This point must be clearly distinguished. The Qing Dynasty did not implement the new policy due to financial difficulties, but to curb land annexation, to ease the conflicts between the people and the officials and gentry, and to reduce the burden on the people. Therefore, we must resolutely and thoroughly measure and clean up the land and achieve fair tax burden. For local officials who commit favoritism and fraud, there is no need to wait for orders and execute them on the spot for the crime of unforgivable punishment, and send their families to America as slaves.

Secondly, after the new policy, we must completely eliminate the emergence of new taxes. The court must summarize the various tax items collected in the Beijing News, list them one by one, and simplify them. Not only should the gentry understand them, but also let the people understand them clearly, so as to prevent local officials from levying them and then increase the levy of various miscellaneous fees.

Furthermore, the household registration system was abolished, the official households, official households, and Confucian households were removed, and the lowly households were abolished. All households, idle households, beggar households, family servants, companions, and silence households were all removed from the households, and were exempted from the public, and were incorporated into the official households. The Qing Dynasty, including Nanyang Australia, allowed the people to move freely.

In short, the people must benefit from the new policy! The above points are discussed widely by going to the study room, cabinet, six ministries and nine ministers. The four new policy should also be widely debated in Beijing Newspaper, without hiding it, sooner or later, it will be made public to the world."

After hearing what Zhenwu said, everyone present couldn't help but sigh in relief. Zhenwu only added a proposal to abolish the lowly and allow the people to move freely. This matter has nothing to do with it and has little impact. Moreover, Zhenwu still has room for maneuver and discusses. Although everyone knew that it was just a formality, they were secretly happy. Zhenwu finally left some mercy for them this time. The crowd hurriedly bowed and said, "I will be honored."

Zhenwu nodded slightly and then ordered: "Shangshang and work with the Ministry of Personnel to discuss how to protect and improve the salary and benefits of officials after resignation during their resignation period. This is not only related to the implementation of the new policy, but also to rectify the administration of officials. It is necessary to effectively ensure that officials have no worries to avoid bribery by officials. I hope that all officials are honest and honest, strict with themselves, not only to maintain integrity and promote honest officials, but also to ensure that they live a decent life without worries. Only in this way can they cultivate more honest officials and reverse the corruption and bribery in the officialdom."

"I will obey the order." Zhang Penghong, Xiao Yongzao, Songzhu and others hurriedly bowed to respond. Zhao Shenqiao, who is known for his integrity, is quite dissatisfied with this. He cannot be willing to be poor, so can he be called an honest official? Of course, he dare not say this. As soon as he said this, he would definitely offend all officials in the world. Although he was not afraid, he had to consider his son Zhao Fengzhao who was being investigated.

Zhang Penghong noticed that although Zhenwu pointed out the importance of this matter, he had no intention of urging him and did not limit the time. He immediately understood that Zhenwu's meaning was to make a sound first to create momentum. This matter was probably delayed until next year or later, and it would be possible to implement it after he had enough money. He made up his mind at the moment. Zhenwu did not ask about it on his own initiative and refused to mention it.

Zhenwu's idea of ​​making a fortune is that money is now more important than this matter. There is no possibility of implementing this matter in the short term. After saying that, he put this matter behind his head, glanced at Yinsi, and said: "The industrial and commercial tax reform has been in the capital. Jiangning has been tried for several years. Yinsi and Ortai will summarize the situation of the trial in the past few years as soon as possible, and the specific tax rates and income comparisons, the reactions of various industries after the trial, the impact of prices on various businesses and the pros and cons of the industrial and commercial tax reform."

Yinsi, Ortai hurriedly bowed and said, "I will obey the order." Yinsi didn't care, but Ortai was very happy. Zhenwu finally began to vigorously promote the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, which was his opportunity to make his name.

After making arrangements one by one, Zhenwucai looked at Yinzhen and said, "The Qing Dynasty did not blame others for his words. As the mouthpiece of the court, the Beijing News must be very cautious in reviewing it at all levels, and there must be no negligence. Ning News is an opponent I deliberately set up for the Beijing News. The one-man show is naturally not as attractive as the opponent show. The debate on the Ning News of Beijing News has now attracted the attention of the whole world. The debate on the cause of the Ming Dynasty is just the beginning. The debate on the new policy is the main topic. I hope the Beijing News can live up to my expectations and shine!"
