The western greenhouse of Ganqing Palace.... .

When Zhenwu came back from the court, he changed into a regular dress, took a few sips of hot tea, Bao Fuquan bowed in and presented the Ningbao of Beijing News. During this period, the debate topic between Ningbao and Beijing News had shifted from the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the pros and cons of the new policy to the opposition between the Confucian rule of law and the Legalist rule of law.

This was dominated by Zhenwu. Some Confucian ideas that were not conducive to the rapid economic development of the Qing Dynasty and were not conducive to the Qing Dynasty's wealth overnight must be gradually corrected through newspapers. The debate between the entry and the rule of law is to test the gradual increase in the intensity of the governance.

After scanning the two newspapers roughly, Zhenwu began to review the memorials step by step. He was not very concerned about the debate. To put it bluntly, the so-called debate at present is just a means of public opinion propaganda.

There was nothing in the court during this period. However, at the beginning of noon, Zhenwu finished reviewing the memorial. He was about to instruct Bao Fuquan to report the secret message, but Bao Fuquan bowed in to report the report: "The ministers of the Shangshu Room Zhang Penghu, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, Fu Ning'an, and the Minister of Rites Chen Yuanlong were handing out signs to ask for a visit."

After listening to Chen Yuanlong, the Minister of Rites, Zhenwu knew that he was coming to the debate between the rule of law and the rule of law. He nodded and said, "Let them come in." After that, he got up and moved a little. These words certainly smelled a little from the debate between the Beijing News and the Ning News, worried that he would vigorously tend to the rule of law and have come to the stage before.

After hearing the sound of footsteps outside the hall, Zhenwu went on the kang to sit cross-legged. Zhang Penghu, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, Fu Ning'an, Chen Yuanlongwu came in to pay his respects, and he said lightly: "Don't give me a gift, and I'll sit." Then he ordered: "Enter the cup of hot tea."

"I'm grateful to the emperor for his grace." After the Wuzhuan thanked him, Xiao Wuzi stood up in front of Zhenwu. When he came to see him, he really had the desire to fight. He was a little dissatisfied. In the debate between Beijing News Ning News, Zhenwu even greeted them and asked them to write an article for Beijing News. In this debate between the rule of law and the rule of law, Zhenwu didn't say a word. When they saw that they began to debate in the newspaper, they realized that this was Zhenwu's end.

They naturally knew what happened when it came to the debate between Beijing News and Ning News. Therefore, they were deeply afraid of the debate on the opposition between the rule of law and the rule of law, and were worried that Zhenwu would become bigger and bigger.

After sitting down, Zhang Penghong bowed and said, "Emperor, the Qing Dynasty established a country with etiquette and governed a country with virtue. Confucianism is the foundation. Since the Han Dynasty, both etiquette and law have been used. The bright and Confucianism and secret laws of virtue and punishment are the only rule for the long-lasting national destiny. The Supreme Emperor governed for many years and then had the grand occasion of the Qing Dynasty. My ministers and others beg for the emperor to pray that the emperor would not have the legal status."

Xiao Yongzao also followed and said: "Emperor, punishment cannot be abolished in prosperous times, and it is also not recommended in prosperous times. I pray that the emperor will leniently save the criminal law."

Seeing that two people entered and one seated, they went straight to the topic, and made a big fuss about the prosperous era, Zhenwu responded unconsciously: "The 'Zhenguan Governance' of the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous era. Did Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin strictly enforce the law? He said, 'The law is not the law of my entry, but the law of premature premature.' Have you never heard of it? The prosperity era does not mean to be loose. In the past, the prosperity era can be said to be a perfect match between the rule of law."

Seeing that Zhenwu used the "Zhenguan Governor of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin to refute it, he was stunned for a long time. No one dared to say that the "Zhenguan Governor of Zhenguan" was not a prosperous era. Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin did enforce the law very strictly.

Song Zhu replied in a tough manner: "When I returned to the emperor, Emperor Taizong of Tang also followed virtue and etiquette as the basis of politics and religion, punishment as the use of politics and religion, and emphasizing ethics as the basis of governance of the country."

Zhenwu glanced at him, took a sip of tea, but stopped refuting it, but asked back: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of the rapid expansion of overseas markets with the implementation of the dives in the acres?"

I heard this question, when I entered the five world, I lost my voice. What is the relationship between the overseas expansion and the rule of law? I entered the acres to ensure and consolidate the annual entry of the imperial court, and overseas expansion is to expand maritime trade and open up overseas territory. This is something that is completely unrelated.

Zhang Pengchong suddenly thought of the entrance. If the tax on the stall is cancelled, the entrance will grow sharply. This is what Zhenwu has always pursued. Overseas expansion can also be said to be to alleviate the conflict between the entrance and the land, but what is the connection with the rule of law? He couldn't help but frowned slightly. The master's thoughts were really elusive, but he thought it was extremely long-term.

After a while of silence, Zhang Penghui said tentatively: "Prince, with the cancellation of the entry tax and the expansion of overseas, the entrance and economy of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably grow violently. The ministers and others are dull, wondering what is the connection with the harsh law?"

"I have no intention of implementing severe punishment and cruel laws." Zhenwu said slowly: "You are my loyal ministers. Everything should be seen in the long run and comprehensive. The Qing Dynasty will develop rapidly and prosper in the next decade, and will encounter a series of problems. Many of them are new problems. You cannot follow everything.

The accumulation of ditches will not only bring about the violent growth of the entrance, but will also intensify the flow of the entrance. After the merger of the Ding Yin Dingfu into the land, it will invisibly lift the constraints on farmers. The flow of craftsmen, untouchables, and landless farmers will increase greatly, and the entrances of towns with prosperous commercial commerce will increase drastically.

What will the consequences of these ignorant and lost the restrictions of the tribe and village rules that have poured into the towns and towns into the city?

The rapid expansion overseas will not only bring about vast land, but also huge wealth, but will also greatly promote the development of commerce and trade, thereby driving the rapid prosperity of all classes in the Qing Dynasty. In less than a few years, a large number of gold, silver, goods, agricultural products, and a large number of slaves will begin to flow into the Qing Dynasty, and countless generals will quickly become rich.

What will happen to the rapid wealthy merchants, craftsmen and people? What will be the mentality? Flowers and wine are too late, self-righteous, arrogant, and unrestrained. This class of wealthy people and the extremely poor who have poured into the towns and lost the ties and rules of the tribes and villages are concentrated in the towns. What will happen? How will the court respond? Can the existing etiquette and moral governance be maintained?”

After hearing Zhenwu's series of questions, all five people were Eran. They had never thought about this situation. No one was sure that overseas expansion could bring huge wealth to the Qing Dynasty. However, what Zhenwu said was indeed reasonable. When a large amount of gold, silver, commodities, agricultural products, and slaves began to pour into the Qing Dynasty, it would inevitably greatly stimulate the development of workshops and handicrafts in towns, and would inevitably attract a large number of craftsmen and farmers to the towns. This is not an exaggeration.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Penghong bowed and said, "Emperor, this is true. Why not use the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes to increase the tax rate of trade? This will not only increase the national treasury income, but also effectively curb merchants and craftsmen. The common people will be prosperous too quickly, thereby avoiding the large gap between the rich and the poor in the towns."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This method is good, and it can be said to be a killer. However, Zhenwu's reputation may be damaged. Therefore, although he secretly agreed, he was reluctant to agree.

The heavy tax policy? Zhenwu glanced at him and he reacted quickly, but it was a bit too early to do this method. After taking a sip of tea, he shook his head slightly and said: "Increasing the tax rate of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes will inevitably curb the development of commerce. This is not in the interests of the Qing Dynasty. Now the expenses of the court may have doubled in general. It is not worth the loss to curb the development of commerce.

The income from commercial taxes will increase year by year, and may eventually exceed the regular taxes of the Qing Dynasty. At present, it should not be suppressed, but should be strongly supported. Only in this way can the annual income of the court grow steadily. At the same time, overseas expansion will also accumulate huge wealth for the court. The court does not need to increase the tax rate at present. Whether it is agriculture or commerce, it is necessary to insist on resting with the people.

Furthermore, for the Qing Dynasty, it is an era of getting rich soon. Anyone with courage, ability, knowledge and devoted himself to trade and trade can quickly become rich.

Therefore, to resolve this possible crisis and contradiction, we must start with etiquette, morality and law!”

After hearing what Zhenwu said, all the five people are in Eran, and the commercial taxes will exceed the regular taxes of the Qing Dynasty? Is this possible? Zhenwu is planning to focus on business and neglect agriculture?

Zhenwu glanced a few times, paused slightly, and then said: "Governing the country with virtue does not deny the rule of law, but uses the education of etiquette and morality to overcome the disadvantages of relying solely on the rule of law. As the saying goes, virtue is established, law is established, and law is established and law can be adhered to, then virtue can be great and career can last for a long time.

Building a country with etiquette and governing the country with virtue. Ethics and morality are the foundation of governing the country. This is the foundation. How can I shake it? However, I must also improve the rule of law based on this. First, I must improve the "Qing Dynasty Collection" and "Qing Dynasty Law", and second, I must increase the publicity of the rule of law. Although I do not advocate strict punishment and cruel laws, I must not leniently regulate the criminal law and enforce the law strictly! Legislation with virtue and promote morality with law."

After hearing Zhenwu's words, he was very relieved. Although he did not leniently regulate the criminal law, as long as it was not a strict and cruel law, he would not waver in establishing the country with etiquette and governing the country with virtue. Zhang Penghong was afraid that he would not know how to advance or retreat, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor's holy thoughts were profound."

Zhenwu waved his hand and said, "Since you are here, you should write a few articles to the Beijing News on the topic of using virtue to legislate and promoting morality with law to help you gain the reputation of the debate."

"I am obeying the order." Ji Ren hurriedly bowed, but he was secretly complaining in his heart. Chen Yuanlong, the Minister of Rites, was even more slandered. He was pulled by several ministers in the study room to take care of him, but he had to write articles when he went back. Writing articles for the Beijing News is not a good job. Although he is rich, the amount of money can be filled with their eyes.

Seeing that a few people stopped saying a word, Zhenwu said, "Let's kneel down and rest."

After Zhang Pengchong was about to leave, Bao Fuquan bowed in and said, "Your Majesty, it's already past noon. Is it a transfer of food?"

Zhenwu stood up and walked for a few steps, pondered slightly, and then said, "Come in Xianfu Palace and tell me that I will go to Qipin for food."
