One thousand three hundred and thirty-eight the first emperor and the last emperor
Zhang Feng looked at Su Yonglin blankly, feeling that he could not accept what Su Yonglin said for a moment.
It's a bit too terrifying if he doesn't become an emperor or something.
Su Yonglin seemed to realize that his span was a bit large, and Zhang Shi could not accept it for a while.
So he patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and smiled.
"Everything takes time. Time can bring everything and take everything away. At the earliest, in the pre-Qin period, even officials were hereditary. Later, the Qin and Han Dynasties changed, and a system of recommendation was created to allow the aristocrats to replace the pre-Qin blood nobles and become officials.
Later, the imperial examinations were held in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the common people finally had a legitimate advancement. They could take the imperial examinations without regard for their background, and then get fame and then become officials. Although they still have some requirements for family property, it is impossible to become an hereditary official.
After walking for a long time, it finally made officials unable to inherit their inheritance. Since officials can not be inherited, it will make people think deeply, why can't the emperor?"
Su Yonglin looked at Zhang Shi.
Zhang Shi obviously didn't know how to answer this question. After thinking for a while, he had the idea of Mohu.
"Maybe it's for stability? The eldest son of a family of one surname is always unique, so everything can be stabilized."
"Yes, the inheritance of dynasties needs stability, and the inheritance of power in any country also needs stability. No one likes to fight endlessly, but it may not be possible, there is only one way."
Su Yonglin shook his head: "As long as I can create a stable inheritance of power that is no less than blood inheritance, whether the hereditary emperor is needed will no longer be so necessary."
"this……"
Zhang Shi showed a hesitation and said slowly: "I really don't know what else to do."
"I can't hurry this. Although I have already had an idea and started to practice it, I can't hurry."
Su Yonglin sighed and said aloud: "The emperor was the destruction of the pre-Qin blood nobles and the founder of the aristocratic era. Qin Shihuang was able to do it and became the emperor of the eternal age.
Now, I want to change this era again, and I want the era of common people to come completely, and come more simply and thoroughly, not to be so bumpy, just like a pipa half-covering face.
From Ying Zheng to me, everything has begun, it will inevitably end. Perhaps Ying Zheng himself did not realize that the moment he decided to be the First Emperor, he had decided that the emperor would inevitably appear. Since no one was willing to do it, I will do it."
"The First Emperor...the Emperor..."
Zhang Feng took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said slowly: "I never thought you could say such a thing. This may not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, what do you think?"
"Revolutionary revolution can revolutionize others' lives, but also revolutionize one's own lives. Otherwise, isn't it just a double-standard patient? I hate double-standard patients the most. The next step of rectification in the court will also be to rectify this aspect, and to thoroughly rectify people who are full of dual-standard thinking."
Su Yonglin pointed to the north: "So, respectful husband, if you can't accept it for the time being, it's not the most important thing. I have to continue doing this emperor. Just walk and look at it. In the end, it's better if I don't become this emperor, or I'll continue to be this emperor.
By that time, as long as you persist in the revolution and the path we have walked along the way, you will definitely make the right choice that suits your wishes. This is what I have always believed in, whether in the past or in the future."
Su Yonglin's words brought great impact to Zhang Shi.
But no matter what, he also felt from the bottom of his heart that Su Yonglin should not have the idea of not being an emperor.
Because he felt that the emperor was the decisive needle of the sea, and Su Yonglin was the emperor, he could allow the Ming Dynasty to continue and move forward firmly.
If Su Yonglin one day no longer becomes emperor, such a future would be unimaginable.
At least for now, Zhang Shi felt that he did not have the courage and necessity to think about that kind of thing.
But Su Yonglin had such an idea, and he couldn't help but think deeply.
In the pre-Qin period, all officials were hereditary. Later, officials broke the hereditary rules, and only the emperor was hereditary.
So, why must there be a hereditary emperor?
If there will be no hereditary emperor in the world from now on, and there will be no such existence that will speak the heavenly constitution and express the Dharma, then what will this world become?
Will it be better or worse?
No one can answer.
After Su Yonglin returned to Hangzhou City, he began to arrange the reorganization of the army and the normalization of Hangzhou City.
After a period of military control, although the people of Hangzhou have no worries about their lives, the normal production and life in Hangzhou City has also been greatly affected.
Of course, since Su Yonglin officially entered Hangzhou City, the administrative team he brought has begun to accept the daily government affairs of Hangzhou City and began to restore production and normal living order in Hangzhou City.
The Ming Dynasty had a comprehensive control over Hangzhou City. In addition to military occupation, there was also political and economic control, especially the economic aspects, which the Ming Dynasty had more thorough control.
Some economic activities such as silk weaving and handicrafts in Hangzhou City, wine sales, rice and grain sales, iron tools sales, and salt sales directly related to people's daily lives were ordered by Su Yonglin to give priority to the reply to Hangzhou City as soon as possible.
Since it was restored, it was naturally restored in the way of Ming Dynasty.
The first thing to do was the salt price. The Hangzhou government of Ming Dynasty directly ordered the reduction of Hangzhou's salt price to the Ming Dynasty's Zhongdu level, and hit the ultra-high salt price to the end, which directly shocked the people of Hangzhou who were suffering from the ultra-high salt price in Hangzhou.
They couldn't believe it at first, but after someone actually bought salt at a low price and took it away, a crazy craze for salt purchases broke out in Hangzhou.
Perhaps they were not familiar with the Ming Dynasty government and were worried that it was just a temporary measure to appease the people's hearts, so it was just a temporary low price and would have to restore the original price in the future. Therefore, there was an extremely enthusiastic rush to buy salt in the entire Hangzhou city, and its scale was even larger and crazy than the team that purchased rice and grain.
In this case, Su Yonglin's response was to mobilize more salt to enter the Hangzhou market and completely satisfy the desire of Hangzhou people to rush to buy salt, forcing them to believe that the low salt prices in Ming Dynasty were not a plan, but a consistent policy.
Salt is really at this price. The Hangzhou imperial court also controlled extremely high salt reserves, but it was so expensive that it needed salt to make money, but the Ming Dynasty did not.
Although the Ming Dynasty has been using the price difference between the two countries to make a lot of profits since its founding, one of the reasons behind the increasing copper coin shortage in the Southern Song Dynasty was the private salt sales in the Ming Dynasty.
However, at the beginning of the eighth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin ordered the Ministry of Finance's Salt Department to end the action of selling private salt in the Jiangnan region to make high profits.
He transferred back officials from relevant departments of the Salt Department and drew out ten salt sales teams to end the task of making money by selling private salt. He sent them to Quanzhou and Guangzhou for dedicated personnel to assist Lin Jingchun, who was very lacking in manpower, with his rich commercial trade experience, to plan the overseas trade strategy of the Ming Dynasty.
The Yansi Department implemented the imperial order and recalled all its subordinate teams, ending the history of the Yansi Department being a powerful department in a sense, and returning to the state of a normal civil affairs department.
In fact, the Yanshu Department has been operating for eight years and provided the court with extremely generous fiscal revenue. It is considered to be a great contribution to the work and has a relatively special status and voice in the Ministry of Finance. The Yanshu Department is even a direct department of the Minister of Finance.
Once the mission is over and the relevant scope of authority and power is lost, the Ministry of Finance does not completely take it seriously.
However, Su Yonglin was more prescient and prepared in advance. He transferred the relevant person in charge of the Salt Department to Quanzhou, and Guangzhou was responsible for doing business around Lin Jingchun, and then replaced a group of people to take charge of the new Salt Department, which solved this problem that would have been a bit troublesome.
After all, it is a department that has brought such huge benefits to the court. Once it is over, it is not so easy to end the mission and make everyone, especially the people in the Salt Department, agree so simply.
However, Su Yonglin's prestige is obviously much greater than Yansi.
Despite this, Su Yonglin also learned that some officials within the Ministry of Finance had some opinions on this decision, and felt that Su Yonglin would not have to end the mission of the Salt Corporation so early, and could have waited until the complete destruction of the Song Dynasty, and it would be better to make more money.
The action of salt stolen salt stolen salt stolen salt stolen to give great room for ease of tension in the early Ming Dynasty, and provided financial support for many actions of the Ming Dynasty. The fiscal expenditure of some actions was even all based on the income from salt stolen salt stolen salt.
Now that the country has sufficient finances, we must dismember this meritorious department?
Not very suitable.
For this reason, Su Yonglin deeply felt the powerful influence of inertia and the influence of powerful departments on the government structure, which further prompted him to decide to complete the mission of national unification as soon as possible and prepare to launch a more thorough rectification movement in the country with his huge prestige.
At the same time, in the future, he felt that he should be more cautious and cautious, and that power should not be granted at will, and that some interests should be strictly prevented.
To this end, Su Yonglin convened a meeting of the Ministry of Finance and delivered some stern speeches.
