Chapter 174 is better than expected

Yun Zhao’s basic structure is in Guanzhong.

Only the people of China are sincerely aware of Yun Zhao as their emperor at this time.

Leaving Guanzhong, the people of the Ming Dynasty felt that they were more afraid than respect, let alone love.

This is related to the different practices of the Lantian imperial court and the practices of the founding of the country in all dynasties.

At the beginning of the founding of any dynasty, it would implement strategies of light taxes, levies, and rest with the people.

Yun Zhao did not do this.

He did not release all the prisoners imprisoned in prison. Except for too few unjustly cases that were corrected, the other prisoners were still prisoners, and there would be no changes because of the change of dynasty.

Even in the extremely corrupt era of the Zhuming Dynasty, there were far more bad people in prison than good people.

There is no imagined that the entire prison is full of good people.

After the land was redistributed, the taxes did not change, even more than in the Zhuming period.

In fact, at the end of Emperor Chongzhen, he had issued many documents on tax reduction and exemption, and issued several self-criticism edicts. He wanted to use this method to make the people love him as a king again.

Unfortunately, even though he had already reduced his taxes to an exaggerated level, the people of the world still did not like him as the emperor.

Because the land was all in the hands of the landlords, scholars, clans, and officials, and these people did not pay taxes at all, so all his efforts were in vain.

Higher taxes help land reclamation, help people cultivate and plant more land.

Therefore, the grace of the Lantian Dynasty was also very limited to the people.

However, the government has helped them more, such as building farmland water conservancy, providing good seeds, providing oxen and farm tools... Of course, these things cost money, although they were not harvested in autumn, but after doing so, they could not win people's hearts.

The upper class of ordinary people generally cannot understand it. Even if they know that borrowing oxen and farm tools from the government is much cheaper than renting people from fellow villagers, they still insist that as long as you collect money, you will not owe favors.

Today's Lantian government is the biggest landlord in their eyes, because what they do is something that only landlords can do, and staying away from it is the norm.

The Lantian government did not have the mentality of loving the people as much as his son. Zhang Guozhu and his men spent two years developing a strict service process, leaving no room for local governments to freely play.

Yun Zhao has always believed that Chinese society is actually a society of human relationships, and in a society of human relationships, there is absolutely no absolute fairness.

In fact, any society can be absolutely fair. It can only be said that a society composed of regulations and regulations can be relatively fair.

"Yun Zhao was too anxious."

After Qian Qianyi read the newspaper, he did not look much joy on his face, but looked at Liu Rushi with some sorrow and lamented.

Liu Rushi said: "Isn't this a good thing for the master?"

Qian Qianyi frowned and said, "We were still pushed to the forefront by Yun Zhao. From today on, we and Xu Yuanshou and others will become life-and-death enemies."

Liu Rushi said, "Are you going to withdraw from Yushan?"

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "This time there is no way out. This is probably the last chance Yun Zhao gave Confucianism to become an official. If he retreats, he will be doomed!"

Liu Rushi said: "Is there no possibility of reconciliation?"

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "This is Yun Zhao's way of balance. Even if we want to reconcile with Xu Yuanshou, Yun Zhao will not allow us to reconcile. Only when we fight with Xu Yuanshou can Yun Zhao balance the balance and take the biggest advantage.

Haha, the emperor's balance technique was unexpected that Yun Zhao could also play with it so skillfully."

"Since that's the case, the master thought why Yun Zhao did this? I don't believe that he is a robber, and he can really understand what it means to be a teaching without distinction."

After hearing Liu Ru say this, Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "Yun Zhao is different from the robber you imagine. They have been robbers for thousands of years, so they can be called the aristocratic family.

As a robber for thousands of years, he has also become a robber leader for thousands of years. No matter how stupid a family is, he can understand some truth from his experience for thousands of years."

Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi laughed again and said, "Le Yangzi's wife says that patriots do not drink water from stealing springs, and honest people do not accept food from pleasing food. I can't do it, but I am very ashamed."

Liu Rushi sighed and said, "Yun Zhao's thief spring is too big. The food he gave was too domineering, and the master could not refuse."

Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "So, those who know the times are heroes!"

Liu Rushi looked at Qian Qianyi who was laughing dryly and said nothing, holding her winter melon in her arms and shaking it gently. She felt that her master really had no choice now.

In the past, various academic and social circles in Jiangnan had been hit by Yun Zhao. In Jiangnan, Lantian still implemented military control policies. As long as they were literati, they did not like to deal with soldiers.

It’s not because the reason is unreasonable, but because the thinking paths of these two types of people are completely different.

The Lantian soldiers were well received in Jiangnan. They did not show the nature of bandits, but they were not the kind of welcome and uninvasive army that people hoped to be.

Overall, whether it is Lantian officials or Lantian troops, the attitude towards Jiangnan people is somewhat distant.

Such a scene is terrifying.

From the root point of view, this is probably what Lantian imperial court thinks of the people of Jiangnan.

A weather that is neither cloudy nor sunny is the most depressing weather, because it can not only rain heavily, but also clear the sky in an instant.

Such an environment is about to drive Jiangnan scholars crazy.

However, the people in Jiangnan seem to have no feelings about this atmosphere. In their opinion, no matter how the dynasty changes, they will have to pay taxes.

Xu Yuanshou came to Yun Zhao's study again.

His expression was very calm, not furious or as if he was lost. He just calmly placed a document on Yun Zhao's desk and said, "It is very difficult to realize His Majesty's ambition."

Yun Zhao ordered Zhang Xiu to bring the tea to Xu Yuanshou, signaling the teacher to take care of himself, and then picked up the document and read it carefully.

He had been reading the incense stick for a whole time before reading the thin document. Then he put the document on the table, pinched Jingming's hole and rubbed it twice and said, "Sir, I've read this too easily."

Xu Yuanshou looked at Yun Zhao and said, "As a result, is Your Majesty's vision of having a teaching without distinction even more grand than what the old minister listed in the document?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "The meaning of having a religion is that as long as I am a citizen of Daming, no one should be left behind."

Xu Yuanshou shook his head and said, "This is impossible."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Why can't they have the power they have when they are born with?"

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said, "Old minister knows that you are very disappointed with us, but you must also understand the importance of doing what you can. As for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, we can only teach according to our aptitude and select some intelligent people to focus on education.

We must raise the height of the Ming Dynasty's talents before we can consider the breadth of talents.

You should understand the principle of "Ten Years of Trees and a hundred Years of Trees" and it cannot be achieved overnight. You are too anxious."

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou and smiled, then said, "I heard that when Nuwa made humans with clay, the first person who pinched them with his hands was the emperor, and the natives who then made them were kings, princes, generals and ministers. Later, Nuwa despised the speed of creating humans so he stopped making clay figures carefully, but used a branch to dip it in mud and threw it hard...

These thrown mud spots eventually became common people.

I don't know who made up this story, and how vicious it was.

Over the years, Yushan Academy has been teaching students continuously. At the beginning, we were able to teach without distinction. Later, when the gentlemen of Yushan Academy began to order the Ming Dynasty to recommend the best places to study and the smartest children entered Yushan Academy, things changed a lot.

Do you think this change is actually a change?"

Xu Yuanshou sighed and said, "The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency, and the way of man reduces the excess to serve the excess."

Yun Zhao laughed and said, "That's the reason. Have you ever thought about it? If I tolerate this situation, what will be the consequence?"

Xu Yuanshou said: "The stronger the stronger the weaker the weaker the stronger the strong have everything, and the weak have nothing."

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou and said, "Since the sir knows everything, why do you still object to me to the will of the whole people's wisdom?"

Xu Yuanshou frowned and said, "It is not that he opposed Your Majesty's will, but that Your Majesty's will simply not work. The Ming Dynasty originally had 1,427 counties. Since Your Majesty's control, the Ming Dynasty has added 123 counties, and now there are 1,550 counties in total.

In order to fulfill Your Majesty’s vision, I won’t say much. On the basis of the existing ones, isn’t it too many to add ten schools in each county?

Have your Majesty ever calculated how much national treasury expenditure should be increased?"

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Yuanshou with a smile and said, "Not much, it costs about 137 million silver coins."

Xu Yuanshou looked into Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, aren't there really many?"

Yun Zhao smiled and shook his head and said, "Not many, really not many. Not only that, I also want to set up the same number of pharmacy administration bureaus at the same time."

"Does Your Majesty have so much money?"

"have!"

Xu Yuanshouchang took a breath and said, "In the first year of China, the Lantian imperial court received a total of 280 million silver coins in taxes, of which 30% of the physical taxes were accounted for. Will Your Majesty take out half of the national treasury to achieve education without distinction?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this. Zhang Guozhu has a detailed funding plan and construction plan, and officials at all levels also have very detailed layouts.

This is something they have to care about.

I only asked Mr. Yushan Academy can get out of the current situation of being proud and satisfied and participate in this great cause of not seeing the ancients before and after, and not seeing the comers behind?"
