As the sun rose, the golden brilliance slowly spread to the earth. Outside the capital Desheng Gate, a large team slowly came.
The brigade of iron cavalry escorted, and the battle flags were waving, and the carriages spread one after another, and it was also clearly visible that the brigade of Jinyiwei was guarding the team.
Just from the exquisiteness and luxury of the carriages in the convoy, it seems that the noble identity of the person riding in the carriage can be clearly seen.
People along the way were watching and speculating endlessly. Most of those who knew the inside story were silent and dared not speak out.
"How is it? Are you still honest?"
Li Ruolian rode his horse and asked in the first sentence.
"Don't worry, sir, you're very honest!"
"That's good."
Li Ruolian nodded, feeling relieved. The matter of Dongchang was not finished, and there was another problem with Prince Shou's mansion. If there was another problem with this matter, then his future would be really worrying.
"Sir, what are you going to do if you have so many royal families come to the capital?"
The Jinyiwei couldn't help asking.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't, be careful to lose your head!"
Li Ruolian said in a deep voice, then looked at the convoy that stretched for more than ten miles, and shook his head.
Thirty-three vassal kings and tens of thousands of royal families, this problem is a big problem even if the dynasty changes.
"First camp outside the city and wait for the will of the Lord."
After thinking for a while, Li Ruolian arranged it.
Just as Li Ruolian thought, this Ming Dynasty royal family was really a big problem.
At this moment, in Wenyuan Pavilion, the cabinet chief minister, Zundao, second assistant Liu Qiyuan, and Qian Qianyi, were all arguing about this problem.
The specific reason for the debate is naturally how these Ming vassal royal families should be placed.
"There are thirty-three princes in the former Ming Dynasty, five hundred and eight princes in the county, nearly a thousand generals in the country, and the rest recorded 150,000 royal families!"
"With such a huge base, even the power of the world in the past Ming Dynasty could not afford such a huge royal family. They could only allow most of them to plunder in various places, causing trouble to the world. The people and officials dared not speak out!"
"Such a huge burden is a great opportunity to cut off by drastic moves. How can you tie your feet up again!"
"Besides, since ancient times, there is no reason for the new dynasty to support the royal family of the old dynasty!"
Liu Qiyuan scolded Qian Qianyi and other cabinet ministers without hesitation:
"What are you thinking?"
Qian Qianyi was not afraid of tit-for-tat: "Mr. Liu said this badly, and he did not support all the royal families. He only needed to support some of them. In this way, he could not only calm the hearts of the people in the world, but also show the honor and tolerance of the royal families in the previous dynasty!"
"Besides, Lord Liu, you said that there are tens of thousands of registered royal families, and millions of people involved. If you cut them off with one knife, this is a huge disaster!"
"I want to ask, Lord Liu, what are you thinking!"
"What am I interested in?"
Liu Qiyuan was almost angry and laughed:
"Then I want to ask you, Lord Qian, how many members of the previous dynasty do you think it is better to support the royal family in the past? Where did Rongyang's money come from?"
"If you don't worry about the lack of worries but the unevenness, you will be able to maintain the rest of the hearts of the royal family of the previous dynasty?"
As for this, Liu Qiyuan did not hide his disdain for Qian Qianyi:
"With the power of the court, you have become your own generosity. Lord Qian, you are such a good plan!"
"you……"
"The Emperor is here!"
Qian Qianyi's face was flushed and he was about to scold him. The sudden sound made him hold back the words he said.
"See Your Majesty!"
Several cabinet ministers immediately turned around and bowed deeply to the door.
"Why, I heard the argument from afar. The cabinet has been discussing for so long, but hasn't I reached an opinion yet?"
Li Xiu looked around the cabinet ministers, and his eyes finally fixed on Lai Zongdao, the chief minister of the cabinet.
"I still have some controversy when I report to Your Majesty. Master Qian advocates Rongsheng to some former Ming royal families to show His Majesty's tolerance and to calm the hearts of the people in the world."
"The second assistant Liu Ge Lao advocated taking this opportunity to cut off this bag..."
"Well..." Li Xiu nodded, looked around at Liu Qiyuan and Qian Qianyi who were facing each other in a tit-for-tat way, and then looked at Lai Zongdao and changed the subject: "What do you think of the chief assistant?"
As soon as this said, Lai Zongdao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was true that he could not escape.
Thoughts flowed, and I came to the sect to bow deeply to the emperor:
"Report to Your Majesty, Da Heng is inaugurated and has been in trouble. The current financial situation is still extremely short of money, so I am really unable to support the royal family of the previous dynasty..."
"Besides, from ancient times to the present, there has been no reason to be the new dynasty and the old dynasty members. I, Daheng, Rongshenghouwang, has been clear for generations, and there is no need to bear this huge burden again."
Li Xiu glanced at Qian Qianyi without any trace, and then nodded:
"Then let's do it according to the wishes of the chief minister. The former Ming royal family members were all dismissed from their titles and demoted to common people. The generals of the state and the former Ming royal family members were all concentrated in Dafang, the west of the capital. This matter was handed over to the cabinet..."
"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of registered people in the former Ming Dynasty. If you are not careful..."
Qian Qianyi suddenly became anxious, but after half of his words, he was interrupted by Liu Qiyuan: "If you are not careful, the former Ming royal family has deteriorated their virtues and ignored the laws and harmed the world. They are all extremely guilty. Now Daheng has been established. Your Majesty is tolerant and not to hold him accountable is a blessing!"
"As a minister of Daheng, you are always considering the royal family of the previous dynasty. Are you thinking about the previous thoughts?"
As soon as the knife was released, Qian Qianyi and others also turned pale, and they knelt on the ground and shouted quickly.
Li Xiu waved his hand indifferently: "Old Qian Ge is also thinking about Daheng, but now Daheng is inaugurated and has no way to be developed. He is unable to support the royal family of the previous dynasty, so he has to make them feel a little wronged."
As for this, Li Xiu immediately looked at Liu Qiyuan: "The former Ming Dynasty royal family merged and occupied a lot of people's wealth and paste. The Ministry of Revenue should do a good job of statistics, but it should not go too far..."
Hearing this, Liu Qiyuan's expression suddenly turned dark and he bowed to the emperor with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the statistics and guarantee that I will not miss a single minute!"
In this way, the expressions of Qian Qianyi and the other cabinet ministers were a little ugly. It seemed that even though they were cabinet ministers, they had never truly entered the center of Daheng's rule from beginning to end.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today, I still have a deep sense of vigilance towards them.
Compared with the worries of Qian Qianyi and others, Li Xiu was obviously quite happy. He had been thinking about the cancer of the former Ming Dynasty's royal family for a long time. When the Ming Dynasty was in power, he wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty's royal family countless times, but due to his identity, he obviously could not do it.
Now that the dynasty has changed, he naturally doesn't have much concern. As for the reputation of those who are not famous, they are all thieves who usurped the country. How could he care about these things? As for the turmoil that Qian Qianyi mentioned, he doesn't care even more.
As the saying goes, if you have too much debt, you won’t have to worry about the chaos in the world. Don’t you care about the chaos in the royal family? What’s more, will the royal family in the former Ming Dynasty not be chaotic?
The former Ming royal family members were all named Zhu. The whole world was originally owned by the Zhu family. He usurped the Zhu family and the Zhu family could serve him peacefully. This is nonsense!
If you take it straight and completely cut off this cancer, the road to pacifying internal worries in the world will undoubtedly be a big step forward.
Moreover, the huge wealth of the former Ming royal family and the innumerable lands could become the source of finance and taxation, and the military camps of the Weishu after the reform became a source of wealth to make up for the fiscal gap of Daheng!
In this way, how could he be unhappy!
"The team of the Ming royal family escorted before the escort has arrived outside the capital. I'll be happy to deal with this matter."
After giving instructions, Li Xiu waved his hand at Liu Qiyuan again, and then walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion.
Liu Qiyuan followed closely behind the emperor.
"The land of the former Ming royal family cannot be distributed to the people after the statistics are complete."
The emperor suddenly said this sentence like a rock that shocked the sky, which made Liu Qiyuan feel a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... The former Ming royal family occupied at least two or three tenths of the land in the world. So many acres of land are a great opportunity to calm the hearts of the people in the world. Why..."
As for this, Liu Qiyuan was a little afraid to say it.
"I know."
Li Xiu nodded and then changed his mind: "Then I ask you, if the land is distributed to the people, how many people can really get into the hands of them?"
"Even if it reaches the hands of the people, how many can they hold it?"
Hearing this, Liu Qiyuan didn't know how to answer. In fact, it was difficult for him to do a complete counting and even in his heart, he was ready to be greedy for some of the people.
Not to mention that so many acres of land are distributed to the people of the world, which are such a national affairs, and they are divided into layers of wealth, and then in the end, the local governments are oppressed by power and wealth. One ten is probably not left in the hands of the people. Even if they are there, one ten is probably not left in the hands of the people!
"I will send the Jinyiwei, the General Staff, and the Inspectorate to assist the Ministry of Revenue in handling this matter."
Seeing that Liu Qiyuan was silent, Li Xiu shook his head and then arranged the arrangements.
"After the land acres are fully investigated, the land deeds and land deeds are all taken to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will recruit people to plant them, and the court will collect taxes normally!"
"Remember, these lands belong to Daheng, and no one has the right to buy, sell, transfer, rent or transfer it for use!"
"This point must be ensured that around this point, the Ministry of Revenue will draw another charter and continue to implement it."
Hearing this, Liu Qiyuan didn't understand what the emperor meant.
The emperor seemed to want to completely change the thousands of years of land ownership, collect the land into state ownership, and avoid the emergence of land annexation from the root.
The land is state-owned, and the people only have the right to use it. No matter how rich and powerful the landlords and gentry are, they cannot force ordinary people to transfer the land to them. Even if the people want to sell the land, there is no possibility of buying and selling.
In this way, both land does not exist, so at least 99% of the people will not be exploited by the landlords, even if they encounter natural disasters, the land will be in their hands.
If you can really do this, this... is an unprecedented prosperous era!
"But if this matter is heard..."
After thinking about the horror that this incident touched, Liu Qiyuan couldn't help but feel trembling and looked at the emperor carefully.
"It's okay, so many acres cannot be counted overnight."
Li Xiu waved his hand: "You just take the land deeds and yellow books of those royal family, slowly count them, and slowly check them."
Speaking of this, Li Xiu suddenly looked north and sighed quietly: "When this battle is over, you can feel at ease!"
