Chapter 606 Lijia Reform
On April 12, the fifth year of Zhaowu, the court held a meeting.
The Censor Wang Yuqiao reported to the court that the Censor Wang said that the Censor had inspected the Censor, and there were many places where there were concealment and misreports of land reclamation, and deliberately abandoned the land, so that it could be cut out from the yellow household registration book, and then reclaimed it to avoid the supervision of the court...
This discussion was made, and the court was noisy.
The court officials made repeated advice, focusing on how to strengthen the court's control over the land. Naturally, they gradually turned to the court's rule over the grassroots.
Whether it is land or Dingkou,
What cannot be avoided is naturally the Lijia system passed down from the Ming Dynasty.
The county magistrate manages the county town, and leaves the county town, town, and village, all belong to the system category of Lijia.
Although it is also under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, the facts and the historical lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty are still vivid in my mind.
The civil officials held their own opinions and argued endlessly, while the military generals and generals were all free and silent.
The emperor looked at the debate in the court tacitly. The court discussed matters in most cases. First, the small characters fired the first shot, and then the small characters started discussing the debate.
After the battle is almost done, the important officials in the court will come out to set a preliminary tone, and then the emperor will make the final decision.
This time, the emperor naturally knew why.
Tacitly informed, wait for a good show to come on.
As time goes by, the opinions of the ministers in the palace are gradually becoming unified. The core of the problem, just as several cabinet ministers discussed privately, gathered on the "Lijia system".
In the end, Liu Qiyuan, the Minister of Revenue and the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet, submitted a memorial request to change the Lijia system, and the ministers successively agreed.
The emperor approved it.
Therefore, how to perfectly connect the Lijia system with the current fiscal and taxation system and the ever-changing government systems in various places to form a joint force has become the core of discussion among the ministers.
The opinions were summarized and the problems were analyzed. With the help of the group, the Lijia system, which was decided since the early Ming Dynasty, was also changed in this court discussion.
It was not until the court meeting that the emperor issued an order and set the final tone.
That is, the cabinet was ordered to formulate a reform of the Lijia constitution.
The ministers received the order and the court concluded.
The news that the imperial court's central government had decided to change the Lijia system was also spread rapidly to the world.
The fluctuation of the tax case has not yet ended, and the subsequent reform of Lijia was like a bolt from the blue, and the world was shaking.
Since ancient times, reforms have been bleeding!
From the military reform at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the fiscal and tax reform at the beginning of the third year of Zhaowu, no matter which reform is, the people are pouring in their heads and blood flowing!
And this time, Li Jia is reorganized...
The two major national reforms led by Emperor Daheng have explained everything.
That is, when the Emperor Daheng's butcher's knife was raised, no tolerance, unspoken rules, and tacit understanding were all bullshit!
Only water and fire are incompatible! Only black and white are clear!
There is only unquestionable right and wrong!
For a moment, people in the world were panic and could not be panic all day long.
In the midst of the turmoil of this person, there seemed to be a mysterious force manipulating it. The "fairy towns" in Daheng, which had never been revealed in the past, slowly emerged in front of the world.
For many people who are interested, they suddenly realized that the "fairy towns" in various places cannot be avoided if they want to be reorganized!
The people's hearts are changing, and the "fairy towns" that were disliked by gentry and literati in the past suddenly became popular among the world.
...
"The court has passed the Lijia reformed charter... No one has made public statements on Wuxun's side..."
In Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, the former cabinet minister Lai Zongdao's residence was already covered in white hair, Lai Zongdao leaned against the bamboo rattan chair, and his second son Lai Hongning stood aside to report.
After hearing what Lai Hongning said, Lai Zongdao was silent for a while, but his expression suddenly became solemn:
"The relationships that should be broken at home have been cut off. From today on, I will be closed to thank the guests, no matter who it is."
Lai Hongning was surprised and asked: "Father?"
Lai Zongdao glanced at Lai Hongning with a look of surprise, but couldn't help frowning. Then, he sighed helplessly, and said with a helpless attitude: "You can't look at the surface of everything, you must learn to look at the essence of things."
"This matter seems to be led by the court ministers, and the military honors have not yet expressed their opinions, but in fact, do you think, without His Majesty's instructions, who dares to plan such a national plan?"
"As for those "family states"... do you think that those "family states" are really as uncontrollable as the world thinks?"
Speaking of this, Lai Zongdao couldn't help but smile. He naturally knew Daheng's so-called "fairy towns". If it were said that in the late Ming Dynasty and the early Daheng year, these "fairy towns" were real power.
With the end of the Liaodong War that year, the tax case led by Princess Jingguo was launched, and the world was cleaned up and the old order was broken.
The establishment of the new fiscal and taxation system directly deprives money and food from the "fairy towns" in various places.
The existence of money shops and merchants directly deprived all their money, food and grass from the army.
The existence of the Martial Arts Academy has allowed the emperor to firmly grasp personnel power.
The functions of the Daheng General Staff, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army have returned to normal, and have also deprived the "fairy towns" of various places of the country.
As for the project relief in major disaster areas in the north, the emperor mobilized troops from all over the country to replace defenses and distribute them, disrupting the old order.
Until he stepped down as the prime minister of the cabinet, as far as he knew, although the so-called "fairy town" still monopolized the power of the land,... this power has been put under countless shackles by the emperor.
Not to mention these so-called "fairy-governors" generals are just generals from the middle and upper levels of Daheng, and the true top-level military honors are all very honest.
With such an existence, he believes that he will fight against the emperor?
None of the four great kings dared to do so!
The middle-level martial arts honors who were covered with countless shackles did not dare to eat the courage of the bear heart and the leopard!
This is obviously a bait, seducing some brainless idiots to fall into the trap, so as to make use of the last remaining energy of this "fairy town".
"Um?"
Thinking of this, Lai Zongdao was suddenly stunned. This seemed to be... a naked plot?
What is the root cause of the instability today?
It was the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, and it was the former Ming gentry who was not adapted to the order of Daheng in various places.
But now that Da Heng is unified, the country's fortune is solid. No matter how unacceptable or unwilling to accept it, he has to hold on to it and can only make trouble secretly.
But if they are given hope, it is like the current... "father towns"?
Most of the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty were swept out of Daheng’s power center in the early years of Daheng. Who would have known that these "fairy towns" that have been the source of disaster in all dynasties have been put on countless shackles by the emperor?
When he was the chief minister of the cabinet when Daheng was first established, he was very worried about the "family lords". It was not until he gradually got to know him deeply that he felt relieved.
Nowadays, many civil officials are still worried and frightened, not to mention the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty who have been almost killed...
"interesting……"
Lai Zongdao chuckled twice, and the worries in his heart slowly dissipated.
