No matter when, even if there are no landlords, tenants will definitely exist.

Because if you don’t have your own land and work for others, you can also be considered a kind of tenant.

The emperor was still hesitating and hesitating about the nationalization of land. He also had other ideas and ideas about the pros and cons of land annexation.

Everyone has land to grow, and everyone has food to eat. In feudal society, this may be a symbol of a peaceful and prosperous era.

But the emperor knew very well that farming society would eventually be replaced by industrial society. It was not that no one farmed, but that more work was done, but that there was no need to own land.

But the Ming Empire must have enough arable land to support the people, which is the emperor's bottom line. The rice bowl in his hands must be kept firmly, and he must not rely solely on external plunder or purchase.

Even so, with the advancement of agricultural technology and farming machinery, there is no need for everyone to farm.

One third or one quarter may drop to one tenth in the future. This proportion of farmers should be able to feed the national population.

In other words, setting the goal to land and land for everyone is no longer in line with the historical development laws.

The emperor's thoughts are indeed changing, which is very different from what he thought a few years ago. It is more in line with the laws of historical development and the actual situation of the Ming Empire.

On the one hand, we are constantly reducing taxes to allow farmers who are digging food to take a breath; on the other hand, we are developing industry and commerce, improving textile machinery, accelerating road transportation, and expanding overseas trade...

Industrial and commercial taxation is the big deal, new commodities such as mirrors are huge profits and partial wealth, and land taxes are constantly weakening from the financial pillar status of the Ming Empire.

The emperor believed that he had figured out the right path to development, so he must of course go on unswervingly. He would naturally not be polite to the landlords and evil gentry who hindered his politeness and peace.

Because he knew very well that the Ming Empire in history was not destroyed by natural disasters or Jiannu, but was destroyed by corrupt officials and landlords and evil gentry.

When a major disaster comes, do those landlords and gentry families really have no surplus food? What do thousands of uprising farmers rely on to survive and eat wealthy families?

The Ming army was really short of wages and food. How many of the three wages that Chongzhen did not reduce the taxes of disaster victims under the stigma of the world were really lost to the Ming soldiers?

The imperial court invested a lot of money, which caused the disaster victims to rebel, but the combat power of the Ming army did not improve. It can be said that Chongzhen did not do anything well and both ends were screwed up.

I didn't grasp the crux of the problem, and I didn't know that my ability was poor. The more I did, the worse the situation was. This was Chongzhen's tragedy.

The emperor looked up at the King Xin in the hall, and all kinds of complex thoughts arose in his heart, but there was no special expression on his face, and there was an encouragement smile.

"When you arrive in Shaanxi, you should go and see more, and then make a decision. Don't listen to and believe it because of the rumors." The emperor said slowly: "I still believe it when the factory guards are in Shaanxi."

Zhu Youjian bowed and knew the profound meaning contained in the emperor's orders. It is well known that the emperor's brother believed in the factory guards. Although he did not agree with it, he believed that this was injustice.

The emperor didn't want to know what Zhu Youjian was thinking. Since he was the one who took the initiative to ask him to go to the disaster area and take a look.

Although the court had made preparations in advance and the disaster relief was not interrupted, the disaster area was a disaster area after all, and that scene would probably have touched Zhu Youjian more.

"I have already approved the memorial of the governor of Shaanxi." The emperor pondered for a moment and continued, "My brother will go there with the order to Jiali those gentry who are deeply aware of justice."

It is both kind and powerful. The emperor's brother is such a good method. Zhu Youjian responded respectfully and couldn't help but admire him.

There are landlords and evil gentry who are kind and unkind, and there are also generous donations to help the righteous gentry in the countryside. You do not require you to spend all your family wealth. As long as you have this intention, the emperor will have an example to set and issue an order for others to see.

It is just rewards and punishments. The simplest way to divide and disintegrate, or to use kindness and power to give a sweet date. Where can I get the best method?

The emperor did not feel proud. This was like the squire landlords who had purged taxes before, and also rewarded some timid and obedient guys.

People's hearts are like this, selfishness is inevitable. Since the emperor did not fight the entire gentry and landlord class with one size fits all, how many people dared not resist it? Not to mention joining together to jump into the fire pit.

Although the emperor is violent, he still has a limit and a measure. Since he has issued an order to reduce taxes and exempt taxes, everyone must do so. Violators will be punished severely, which is reasonable and well-founded.

"The clan of Shaanxi--" The emperor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and looked cold and harsh on his face, and said, "If there is any violation of the law and discipline, we must be punished severely."

"My brother understand." Zhu Youjian bowed and said, "Please rest assured brother."

Don't worry, I really dare not feel at ease with you. The emperor rolled his eyes secretly and whispered in his heart. Fortunately, he sent people to accompany him, all of whom he could trust and was also a supervisor.

"My brother is getting older and he should not delay his marriage again and again." The emperor looked at Zhu Youjian with a gentle face and smiled and said, "I have given Tang Shisun a grace to choose a marriage. Isn't my brother as good as him? Is it okay for me to handle it?"

What kind of grace is to save money and stop doing the same old talent show and beauty pageant.

Zhu Youjian didn't know the true thoughts of the emperor, and felt that this was the emperor's trust, believed in his own vision, gave him the freedom to choose, and immediately bowed to thank him.

The emperor waved his hand with a smile, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

King Zhu Youjian of Xin left and prepared to inspect Shaanxi. I think it would be impossible to travel in a few days.

The emperor sat in the hall for a while, and Eunuch Wei from the East Factory came to meet him.

Lao Wei would not be sent to accompany him, but the emperor still needs to set the tone of the people he wants to send to cooperate with Xinwang and play a supervisory role.

"Come on Wei!" The emperor looked at the increasingly aging Eunuch Wei and said warmly: "I rewarded Wei Fan's house, why don't I live there?"

Eunuch Wei kowtowed to worship, and then he bowed and replied, "The emperor is so kind, but the servants are useless and dare not accept it."

"The East Factory is well managed and managed, and this is Wei Ban's credit." The emperor said, "The local information is also accurate, which makes me clear-headed and unlucky, and it is also Wei Ban's credit."

After pausing, the emperor continued, "This time, people will be sent to the king, and Wei's partner must also make careful arrangements."

Whether Eunuch Wei has made contributions or not is not a problem whether he wants to live in a big house. But Old Wei also knew very well that he did not attract the favor of court officials and eunuchs in the palace.
