Of course, to be fair, these are just secondary in Li Xiu's opinion.
The most important thing is the word administration!
Financial and tax reform!
Just these four words can be imagined, how terrifying resistance there will be.
Once any reform begins, it must be implemented unswervingly.
If you retreat in the slightest, it will definitely be the result of the loss of people and political destruction.
But the Ming Dynasty today does not have the slightest land of reform!
Even if Li Xiu can suppress the world, if a policy is not implemented by a bureaucratic group that is united, no matter how good the policy or the system is, it will have no effect at all.
A corrupt and corrupt bureaucratic system is enough to easily turn any system that benefits the country and the people into a policy that harms the country and the people!
The existence of human beings is destined to be impossible to have a perfect system.
Every success of reform in history can only be said to be the determination and ability of the upper class to suppress people's hearts to a certain extent!
But as time goes by, if the system does not keep pace with the times, the system will also become corrupt with time, and the glory of the past will become a burden in the future.
And keep pace with the times reform...
In history, no generation can do it throughout thousands of years.
It is a blessing for the world to be able to produce an existence who dares to be the first in the world for hundreds of years!
With the current situation, it is undoubtedly difficult to start reform! And half the result with twice the effort!
But looking at the emperor in front of him, Li Xiu could only sigh and make luck fool people.
"Your Majesty, it's important to be a big deal and it needs to be carefully prepared. However, before that, there is still something to do, which can add a little more foundation to the treasury."
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian also had a trace of gloom in his eyebrows, but he still cheered up and said, "Brother Li, tell me."
"Zhou Yuji, the general of Xuanfu, reported that Shanxi merchants were involved in the enemy and stolen the country, reselling the embargo supplies, and had extremely close contact with the Later Jin Dynasty. The Jinyiwei also found a clue. Now many activities are behind the detailed works of the Ming Dynasty, and there are traces of Shanxi merchants..."
After saying that, Li Xiu immediately took out two files from his arms and handed them to Zhu Youjian.
The Eight Great Imperial Shang Dynasty are famous in history, how could Li Xiu not pay attention to it?
Shanxi merchants rose to prominence and France, and then made their fortunes with the geographical advantages of Shanxi and traded with Mongolia!
This kind of border trade is naturally indispensable!
After all, after the military decline of the Ming Dynasty, border trade was an important means to curb grassland tribes and the Later Jin Dynasty.
The imperial court prohibits the grasslands and there will be shortages. Once anything is scarce, it means the price surges and huge profits!
How could Shanxi businessmen who were engaged in this kind of business with the temptation of profit?
It is inevitable that merchants seek profit and engage in enemies and sell off their country!
At that time, taking advantage of the victory, he deliberately put Xuanfu Town in Shanxi in his hands, and then sent Zhou Yuji as the general of Xuanfu to lay the foundation in advance.
According to Li Xiu's plan, he was obviously ready to attack Shanxi merchants long ago, which not only solved the disaster, but also plundered a piece of unexpected wealth.
Now, facing Zhu Youjian's urgency, Li Xiu simply took the opportunity to get the matter out and deal with it for the time being.
"Hmph, merchants are all people who have no king or father!"
After reading the file, Zhu Youjian was so murderous intent that his face turned slightly flushed due to anger, but his body obviously did not allow Zhu Youjian to be angry as usual. After suppressing his anger, Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, what are you going to do!"
"Shanxi has a unique geographical location, and Shanxi merchants have also provided most of the logistics support for the border towns of the imperial court. After so many years of development, Shanxi merchants have long been rich enough to rival a country..."
Li Xiu talked freely, but in his words, he always revealed one meaning, that is, he could be slaughtered after he was fattened!
Although Shanxi merchants were rich enough to compete with their country, they also had great influence in Shanxi. Once upon a time, they also had considerable influence in the court.
However, Donglin was too strong in combat, so he cleaned up all the spokespersons of other interest groups from the court early on. Only the eunuch party supported by the emperor could fight Donglin.
In this situation, it is obvious that even if the Shanxi merchants are intricate, they are just local interest groups, and their interests are only limited to one place. Moreover, the attributes of merchants will not cause too much storm in the Ming Dynasty, which emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce!
"Then kill!"
"Brother Li, you have made a living. Be sure to catch all these illegal people in one go!"
Obviously, due to his physical reasons, Zhu Youjian seemed to have lost his previous calmness. He obviously had a little more urgent and anxious when doing things!
"Don't worry, your Majesty..."
"But when the matter is ready, we will discuss it in the court at that time to avoid the trouble of the Dracosm."
...
"Shanshang merchant..."
After walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu chuckled and then shook his head secretly.
Shanxi merchants can indeed be said to be a disaster, but compared with tax reform, Shanxi merchants are really nothing.
Now, and even in the future, the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will be destined to be in chaos!
Natural disasters and man-made disasters will not stop!
In this way, it means that the Ming Dynasty needed a Jiangnan that could stabilize blood transfusions to provide for it, and even repair the devastated north.
Today, Jiangnan is known as wealthy, but obviously, this wealth cannot be used by the current Ming Dynasty.
The only thing that can change this phenomenon is reform!
Once reformed, we will completely embark on an unknown path of no return.
If you succeed, it is natural to say. Any difficulties and obstacles in the future are not a problem.
Once it fails...
At this point, Li Xiu looked around at the majestic palace city, but couldn't help but smile.
In fact, Zhu Youjian’s eagerness is not wrong.
He also has the great righteousness of the emperor and the authority of the emperor. In this era, the meaning of the emperor has a great effect, which is obviously foreseeable.
With him here, this reform can also reduce many difficulties and obstacles.
But once he is gone, the young master will ascend the throne and reform...
Everything depends on Li Xiu himself!
He is not a civil servant, and he cannot be Zhang Juzheng or Yu Qian!
He is a military general, he is a martial artist from this era of noble and humble martial arts!
How could the literati and officials who have been high above them for hundreds of years want to see a warrior standing above their heads?
By then, the name of Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang, who are now named by many civil servants, will become a reality!
Even if he doesn't do this, everyone in this world will think that he is doing this!
There is both real and famous!
There is no doubt, no doubt.
The public opinion of the times will be so identifiable!
Chapter completed!
