Hu Bi looked at the many courtiers, was silent for a moment, and then continued to say: "My lords, only when the king and his ministers are compassionate, can they be benevolent and righteous."

King Xiang Zhu Zhanzhen began to quote scriptures from the beginning, chewing on every word, and praised His Majesty well.

Then Hu Hui made a long discussion using the changes in the land system in the Southern Song Dynasty, and even came to the conclusion that His Majesty was a benevolent monarch.

As the farm laws slowly advanced, the Ming Emperor's new policies finally harmed the fundamental interests of some people.

After the Battle of the Capital, Your Majesty implemented several new policies.

There are the official examination law and Article 95 of the "Constitutional Matters", and the establishment of an anti-corruption department to fight corruption and arrest corruption are ancestral laws. Your Majesty did not skin people and remove their grass, so it is not considered torture.

There is a new monetary policy. Under this policy, it is completed by the Baoyuan Bureau, Baochao Bureau and Bingzhan Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Daming Yinzhuang jointly managed by the Ministry of Planning and the Ministry of Accounts. Specifically, it is the imperial silver coins, Jingtai Tongbao

He Baoyuan Bureau collects and stores tickets.

Under the simultaneous development of sea and land, there were also the restoration of Ming Dynasty's official factories and the opening of the sea, the management of commercial ships by the Municipal Shipping Department, and the opening of the sea again, the restoration of the navy, and discussions on sea power.

As well as the recent promotion of work-for-relief, in the understanding of the Ming Dynasty, this means that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was carrying out large-scale construction projects. The courtiers scolded the emperor for his strategy of subjugating the country, and then secretly scolded the emperor for being really rich.

Can't say anything.

However, the Farm Law of the Land System, which at first seemed to be no different from the Military and Guard Law, finally revealed its true colors as the number of disciples of the emperor in the Jiangwu Hall and Lecture Hall continued to increase.

This is His Majesty’s strength, this is Your Majesty’s invincibility.

With the continuous implementation of the New Deal, it finally came to a time when conflicts intensified and tit-for-tat confrontation occurred.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty went to the properties of the eighteen clans of Baimei in Jiangxi, which caused many different voices in the court.

King Xiang and the Minister of Rites washed the land for the Ming Emperor, which was actually to unite the team and unify people's hearts to prevent the loyal Shuntian Mansion from losing its loyalty, which would cause big troubles.

After all, if the people's hearts are lost, there will be no way to lead the team.

Hu Hui thought about it for a while and said: "I, in the Ming Dynasty, recorded the records by industry, and said: There are three classes of households: the people, the army, and the craftsmen. He also said: the army, craftsmen, kitchen households, and servants are all filled forever.

hereditary."

The household system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into three categories: civilian, military, and craftsmen, and the servants of military households, craftsmen households, and kitchen households (a type of craftsmen households) were hereditary.

In fact, there was another kind of household registration in the Ming Dynasty, called the humble household registration. The exiled people, the prostitutes of the Jiaofangsi, and the barbarians who were not registered in the Ming Dynasty all had the household registration.

"Do you know what the household system looked like in the two Song Dynasties?" Hu Hui asked a question and looked at everyone.

Zhu Zhanzhen was a little confused. When talking about the establishment of official shops, why did he talk about the difference between the household system in the Ming Dynasty and the household system in the Song Dynasty?

Shen Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, recalled for a while and immediately said: "The household registration in the two Song Dynasties was divided into principals and customers. Those with regular property were the principals, and those without regular property were the guests."

"Also, based on the amount of regular output, the households are divided into five levels. The official households of state and county officials, the first-class, and the second-class households are the status households, which are the houses of the powerful and powerful."

According to His Majesty, this kind of people are meat eaters who occupy the allocated position.

Hu Hu said with a smile: "What about rural households and Fangguo households? Rural households are divided into five grades, and Fangguo households are divided into ten grades. May I ask Shen Shangshu, how should Fangguo households be divided into these ten grades?"

Shen Yi answered without knowing why: "Those who live in the houses outside the county capital city are the lower second-class households, those who have property are the ninth-class principal households, and those who have no property and live in rented houses are the tenth-class customers."

"Those who live in the outer city are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Those who live in the inner city are divided into five grades: A, B, C, D, and E."

"Most of the people living in the city are households, and they are divided into residential quarters."

"What does this have to do with the Guanpu Law?" Shen Yi was naturally familiar with the household system, so he answered quickly.

Hu Bi looked at Shen Yi and said: "Rural households and Fangguo households are divided into hosts and guests. Rural households are divided into five levels, and Fangguo households are divided into ten levels."

If we take the capital city of the Ming Dynasty as an example, the east city and west city are the inner city, and there are five households in the categories of A, B, C, D, and W. The closer to the core area, the higher the family status.

The first-class households are naturally the official households of Yongfang in Dashi.

If you live in the outer city, you will be classified into the upper, middle and lower classes. The closer you are to the inner city, the higher your family status.

The people living outside the city and wandering around are the lower-class households with no fixed residence and are employed by the men in the city, not only working as cattle and horses, but also being scolded as a stinky beggar by the households.

Hu Bi looked at Shen Yi and asked again: "Shang Shu, the second-class households in the houses and grass markets outside the city have the largest number of people. Where do they come from?"

Shen Yi said blankly: "Of course it's...the people in rural households who have lost their land."

A smile appeared at the corner of Hu Hui's lips and he said: "Since the official business is so difficult, it's okay not to do it. Just drive the rural households into the city to beg for food as a second-class household. This was done in the two Song Dynasties."

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "How can that be done? Our Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty."

"In the Ming Dynasty, the tax collection was still mainly based on formal taxes. In the Song Dynasty, the tax collection was based on equal payment, which is different."

"The "Chongning Fangtian Order" stipulates that the house tax in all counties and towns in various states shall be determined equally according to the ten grades of tight and slow, and the money will be made. It says: The law of the ten grades of Rilaifang and Guo."

"Based on this, the main basis for dividing the tenth grade of Fangguo households in the Song Dynasty was house tax. In the Ming Dynasty, we did not have rural households and Fangguo households. This household system was different, and the people were driven to the city. How could we collect official taxes?"

Hu Ming then said in a clear-eyed way: "Although our Ming Dynasty does not have the Song Dynasty system, it is still doing it, so the tax base will be sluggish, and the tax base will be unavoidable after years of disasters, Shen Shangshu!"

"I'm talking about the Song Dynasty, maybe I'm talking about the Ming Dynasty!"

Chen Yi finally came to his senses, slammed the table and stood up suddenly, saying loudly: "I agree with the official law! We must do it, no matter how difficult it is! We must do it!"

No matter what, Shen Yi couldn't accept it and couldn't collect taxes!

Hu Bi looked at Jiang Yuan, Minister of War.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, after the corruption of the Military Guard Law, many military households in the Ming Dynasty fled their households. Now that the Beijing army is recruiting troops, most of them come from the volunteer regiments of the Farm Law. I agree with this."

Wang Ao said to King Xiang Zhu Zhanyang: "Your Highness, I only said that there will be redundant staff and corruption problems. I did not say that I disagreed with the official law. The fight against corruption must be done together, and it must be strict and strict, otherwise It’s just peeling off people’s ears.”

Three of the six ministers have already made it clear that they want to do it.

Yu Shiyue, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, had always been a bit of a loser. Seeing that the direction of the wind had changed, he thought for a while and said: "There should be laws and regulations that can be followed, instead of growing wildly like weeds on the prairie."

Hu Xi then said: "The official shop method is difficult, but freezing three feet does not last in a day. You can do it bit by bit, starting from Shuntian Mansion, and then from point to line, from line to surface."

"If there is a lack of abacus, we should cultivate abacus; if the system is incomplete, we can add to it; if there is a lack of supervision, the Ministry of Planning and Planning can shoulder more burdens. It is not a law made today that will last forever."

Hu Xi mediate the tense relationship between King Xiang and the courtiers. He also used the household system in the two Song Dynasties as an example to tell the courtiers that the Ming Dynasty had no way and could not collect rent as much as the two Song Dynasties did on the household system. The Guan Tian Pumai looks like a royal court.

After convincing Shen Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, Hu Bi closed his eyes again to rest.

Zhu Zhanchen thought for a while and said: "This matter has been agreed upon today and will be submitted to His Majesty for the Holy Judgment."

Since the majority of people agree that the official shop law should be implemented, it is natural to have a thorough discussion and customization to confirm the authority.

Three generations above, it talked about Douhu, balance, seals, benevolence and righteousness. In the Ming Dynasty, it talked about system, law, confirmation of authority and measurement.

In fact, it means discussing and formulating rules. Only when the rules are determined can things be done easily.

This salt and iron meeting lasted for a long time, with everyone expressing their opinions and quarreling fiercely. But in the end, a feasibility report was produced. After King Xiang checked it, it was found to be correct, sealed and sent to Shuimayi.

The ministers left the entire Yantie Conference Hall, while Zhu Zhanzhen, Hu Xi, Luo Bingzhong, and Liu Ji stayed alone.

Hu Xi was getting older, and such a long meeting was so exhausting for him that he fell asleep in the middle of the meeting and slept until the end of the meeting.

When all the people were gone, Hu Hui woke up.

Among the people present, only Hu Hui knew clearly whether he was asleep or not.

"As people get older, their spirits become weaker, which makes His Highness laugh." Hu Hui yawned slightly apologetically.

Zhu Zhanzhen hesitated and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hu. There are some things that I can't understand. I would like to ask Mr. Hu to clarify my doubts."

Hu Xi said quite seriously: "I know what your Highness wants to ask."

"I dare to ask Your Highness, what is Your Highness to Your Majesty?"

This question confused Zhu Zhanzhen. His identity had always been clear. He was the imperial uncle and the supervisor of the state after His Majesty left Beijing. He looked at Hu Hui in confusion.

It is difficult to get rid of the shackles and see clearly who you really are. Zhu Zhanzhen is a selfless person. He only wants to survive, but he is not a true self.

Hu Xi thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, there is a surrender system in the court. Your Majesty presides over the farm laws in Nanya. A two-pronged approach, the conflict has intensified to such an extent. Your Highness's first consideration is to prevent someone from using His Highness's name to rebel. ah."

Will Zhu Zhanzhen rebel? No.

What Hu Hui means is that His Highness Prince Xiang should be careful of being rebelled against.

Zhu Zhanzhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said with a strange expression: "I have a reverent heart, and I have never had any thoughts of rebellion."

Hu Hui simply made it clear that there were only four of them here.

Hu Xi said with a serious face: "Actually, the counterattack under the winter sequence is reversed. The reason why His Majesty was able to show off his skills during the southern tour was actually because His Highness was in charge of the country."

"Your Majesty's imperial heir is still young and cannot handle the big responsibilities. If His Majesty falls, can Your Majesty still leave the capital?"

"Your Majesty can't leave the capital because he's stuck in the shoal."

This is not complicated. If Your Majesty had not come to Nanya in person, the winter sequence of the Ming Dynasty would only get worse.

Zhu Zhanzhen crossed his fingers and rubbed them continuously and said: "They just want to wear Guhuang robe. If they don't accept it, what else can they do?"

Hu Xi immediately asked: "Yes, they put a yellow robe on His Highness, and His Highness doesn't have to accept it. But what if they kill His Highness and then put a yellow robe on His Highness?"

"What they want is not for His Highness to rebel, but for His Highness to die because of the yellow robe, and to trap His Majesty in the capital for a long time."

"If the most virtuous prince has rebellious intentions, then your majesty will let the prince supervise the country in the future, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out."

Hu Hui's words have already opened the door to speak openly. Hu Hui, who is well versed in the dangers of political struggle, certainly knows these dirty tricks. It doesn't matter whether King Xiang wants it or not. Killing you and putting on a yellow robe is a conspiracy.

A serious crime, committing suicide out of fear of crime.

Zhu Zhanzhen finally understood what Hu Xi meant and said sincerely: "I would like to be taught."

Hu Xi was still a little worried and said: "What should I do if I want to defeat the emperor's uncle?"
