Chapter 0089 The Sanctity of Private Land! But until then...!

Anyone who stands in the way of a new era.

will be crushed!

Zhu Houzhao means,——anyone!

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are here."

Gu Dayong's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in."

Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

Everyone naturally entered one by one.

Four members of the cabinet stood on one side and four Shangshu stood on the other.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone said.

"Excuse me."

Zhu Houzhao replied, and then pointed to the four piles of books: "These books, the things recorded on them are the things that will be done in the future, so let's read them first." "

Steam technology system, although the difficulty is not great.

But it is still not easy to fully promote it.

At that time, it will not only need the efforts of one department of the Ministry of Engineering.

The remaining seven, even the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu, will be included.

This is destined to be an epoch-making reform, and the promotion of super rice and long white pigs are two different things.

The next half hour.

The eight people were honestly flipping through these books, and the more they read them, the more frightened they became.

Of course, this amount of time is not enough for them to go through all the books.

But the eight people present were all people who had swam in the sea of learning and finally stood out.

Even if you can't read them all, you can still see a rough idea.

"Your Majesty, I wonder who wrote these books?"

Ministry of Works Shangshu's tone was a little trembling.

What does the Ministry of Engineering do among the six ministries?

In charge of the country's civil engineering, water conservancy, machinery manufacturing engineering and other affairs.

Similar to the Yellow River breaking its embankment, building palaces, and Zhu Houzhao's previous implementation of ironmaking, steel casting, forging the ultimate red door cannon, cement and so on.

It's all a matter for the Ministry of Engineering.

If the previous ones were barely acceptable to the Ministry of Works Shangshu.

So what is recorded in these books in front of you.

It was so terrifying to him!

The effect described above, Shangshu subconsciously felt impossible in his mind, but according to the whimsy inside, a little speculation, but it felt very real and logical.

It's too dreamy.

"You don't care who wrote these books."

"But I can tell you that next, the main task of the Daming Dynasty is to make these things in books."

"Even promote it."

Zhu Houzhao said.

Hearing this, the Ministry of Works Shangshu was ecstatic!

After all, isn't it their Ministry of Works who is responsible for this kind of thing?

But after the ecstasy, he calmed down again.

"Your Majesty, if you make the instruments mentioned in this book, then the cement before that..."

"Cement will continue to be made."

Zhu Houzhao replied: "Xu has decided that the Ministry of Works will be divided. "

"In addition to the Ministry of Engineering, another engineering institute will be set up. At this time, only promotion, the Academy of Engineering is fully responsible. "

"Divide, divide?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works was stunned for a moment, and then he panicked in his heart.

Now the Ministry of Works is a red man in the court.

If you divide it like this now, wouldn't that allow your power to fall?

However, when Shangshu of the Ministry of Works saw the smiling look in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, he reacted violently.

A cold sweat fell on his back.

"Obey His Majesty's orders!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works was also panicked, just now he was simply an old birthday star hanged - a long life.

He actually dared to give birth to a sense of resistance in his heart.

It seems that he still has too much power, so he has let himself float for a while.

Recall the process of His Majesty the Emperor seizing power.

Even now.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

Almost every day, courtiers were imprisoned and even died tragically outside the palace gates.

And it is not individuals who die.

Instead, the whole family lost their lives together.

Most of the people who carried out this matter were the East Factory Fanzi.

At the beginning, Nadongchang Fan liked to wear black.

and was privately called a 'for life' by the courtiers.

But anyone who experienced it would definitely not want to experience it again.

And Shangshu of the Ministry of Works is one of the witnesses who survived by luck.

"The matter of dividing the engineering academy will be entrusted to you with full responsibility."

"From then on, the Ministry of Engineering was responsible for implementation, and the Engineering Department was responsible for technical support and guidance."

Zhu Houzhao's tone was ancient.

"Yes."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works hurriedly agreed.

However, there was not the slightest joy in my heart, but it was quite heavy.

"The affairs of the engineering institute must be handled and improved as soon as possible, and they must be fast and good."

"In this way, we can win back a round, and we can also make up for the image in His Majesty's mind as soon as possible."

He thought to himself.

Those who can do his position are old fritters.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Works was naturally able to understand that His Majesty the Emperor entrusted the Engineering Institute to him to be in charge.

Just to give him another temptation.

If this thing is not done, or there is something left behind, loopholes and so on.

I am afraid that my position as a Shangshu will not be guaranteed.

After all, inside the Ministry of Engineering, it is not monolithic.

Zhu Houzhao's gaze looked at the four members of the cabinet.

"In the future, the scale of the Academy of Engineering will definitely become larger and larger, and the Imperial Academy of Sciences will be opened in the future as a subordinate level of the Academy of Engineering."

"On the cabinet side, he wants to make a charter."

"Lest there be a conflict at the time."

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes." "

The cabinet is responsible for coordinating the affairs of the entire court, and no matter what it is, it cannot bypass the cabinet.

The Academy of Engineering and the future Imperial Academy of Sciences naturally also need to let the cabinet make a rough plan.

If there is no charter, just do it.

Then there is no difference between the court and the grass platform team.

After solving the affairs of the Engineering Institute, Zhu Houzhao set his sights on Hube Shangshu again.

"Hubu Shangshu, this year's fiscal revenue and expenditure, the number of acres of arable land in each province, and minerals, have you verified with Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Houzhao ordered Leng Jinyiwei to secretly investigate this matter a long time ago.

After all, Daming is a big agricultural country.

The resources of arable land are very precious!

Meantime.

The land annexation generated here, the concealment of acres and other means.

Naturally, it is also emerging in various places.

Often the official ledger and the actual ledger will be very different.

"Your Majesty has been verified."

"How much worse?"

"The whole country is worse... More than 670 million mu. "

“？？？"

Even if he was already prepared in his heart, when he heard this number now, he still made Zhu Houzhao startled!

What is the concept of 6.7 billion mu?

When Zhengde was ten years old, the number of registered acres of land was registered, but more than 800 million mu turned out to be under the books of more than 800 million mu.

Hidden 670 million mu?

Hidden almost half of the field!?

"I'll take a look at the data."

Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.

Obviously, he is not in a good mood right now.

Hube Shangshu was also unambiguous, these data he naturally prepared very early when he heard that he was summoned, and naturally brought it over.

However, the data handed over is not just Hube Shangshu alone.

The data that Jin Yiwei secretly investigated was also taken by the eunuchs.

Compare the two with each other, and the record is the same.

No one dares to sneak on this kind of thing.

However, if it is compared with the ten years of Zhengde.

That's too much worse.

"One more than 800 million acres, one 1.4 billion acres, a little interesting..."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to laugh a little.

These landlords and old money, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, are really bold!

Speaking up.

In the process of his previous seizure of power, he was more about removing those representatives of the gentry class who threatened his power and balanced him.

But for corrupt officials, it is only a small rule.

After all, things score a priority.

Later, because of the urgent need to improve national strength, all Zhu Houzhao focused more on commercial taxation, opening the sea ban, and attacking the Nanyang countries.

Instead, he forgot about the swarm of flies and bugs in the court.

It's not that I forgot.

I just didn't care.

Without the power to compete with him, it is natural that he cannot turn over the wind and waves.

Now Zhu Houzhao is about to start a new era in Daming.

These flies and bed bugs attached to the blood-sucking insects of the old times naturally have to be swept away.

"Shangshu of the Criminal Department."

"The minister is here."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department took a step forward and handed over his hand.

Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on him: "How should these people who conceal their fields be dealt with according to the Great Ming Law?" "

Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not hesitate.

"According to my great law, those who take the initiative to conceal the acres of land for the gentry, those who exceed five acres will be beheaded, and the rest will be imprisoned, and those who conceal the acres of land will be sentenced to death for more than 10 acres, so that those who benefit from this will be imprisoned."

This is called the Great Ming Law.

Naturally, it is the great law of the Hongwu Dynasty!

Once during the Hongzhi Dynasty, the Great Ming Law was greatly changed.

But here is Zhu Houzhao.

Naturally, it was changed back.

"The laws set by Emperor Taizu are really harsh."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, but he showed a smile: "But I like it very much." "

"Since the Great Ming Law has been formulated, it is natural to do things according to law."

"But I can give these people a chance."

"As long as they are willing to confiscate all the hidden property, then the matter will be abandoned."

In later generations, there were old people who used strict laws to arrange Zhu Yuanzhang.

But in Zhu Houzhao's view.

It's completely idle.

But anyone who throws such a person into the house of a poor peasant who has been corrupted by corrupt officials is afraid that he will not even want to gnaw the meat of corrupt officials.

The so-called heavenly high emperor is far away.

This sentence is very consistent in any historical dynasty.

However, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Houzhao thinks that he still has a little more benevolence.

The world is dark, and it is difficult for anyone to confess.

So Zhu Houzhao can give them one more chance.

If you wake up in time, you can also leave a way to live.

"Field, charge, confiscate?"

Hube Shangshu's face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, you must not."

"If this matter is issued, it will inevitably cause trouble."

The land is everyone's life.

This is completely different from raising commercial taxes!

Once the knife is applied to the land.

The consequences caused by that Hube Shangshu did not dare to imagine.

"Don't worry, Xu will only take Hebei as a pilot first."

"Wait for the pilot to end, and then slowly promote it."

Zhu Houzhao naturally understood the risks.

It is impossible to do it directly on a national scale.

After all, the world is not a small yard.

After the decree is issued, if you want to implement, implement, consolidate, etc., you need more means.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows your intentions."

"Presumably, the reason why you used Hebei as a pilot is also because the cement road leading to Hebei has been built, and there is this steam train, which only needs to be paved with rails, so it can be greatly facilitated."

"But this is land!"

"Even if it is just a knife in Hebei, it is very likely to cause riots and even rebellion!"

Hube Shangshu said bitterly.

He was really scared this time!

After all, he is Hube Shangshu, and everyone will not target the emperor at that time, and then against him.

Perhaps after the failure of the emperor's whimsical policy.

What about taking him for the pot?

"When he wanted to raise commercial taxes, open the sea ban, and promote government-private partnership, Xie Qian was scared to resign."

"That's why Zhang Xuan became the first assistant, and then assisted Xu to complete the great cause and make Daming so prosperous."

Zhu Houzhao said slowly, and he looked at Hube Shangshu: "If you can't stand it, then you resign this official and let the people below take it for you." "

Zhu Houzhao's words were very direct, even rude.

But it speaks volumes about his determination.

Hube Shangshu hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Please also ask Your Majesty to set up a charter." "

It's old bones anyway!

Big deal!

Seeing Hube Shangshu like this, Zhu Houzhao was also happy.

After all, at this juncture, having an experienced old handle is naturally much better than a newcomer.

"Let's leave the charter to Zhang Xuan, and this matter of Bijing is also closely related."

Zhu Houzhao said.

Seeing the pale Hube Shangshu, he also smiled.

"But rest assured, Xu is not greedy for those lands, but to temporarily collect the land and distribute it to farmers according to the situation of each province."

"The distribution rules are to divide the land by household, not by head..."

The reason why he didn't say it all just now.

It is also to see how the old man of Hube Shangshu can bear it.

If the affordability is too poor, then this new policy is estimated to be poorly implemented.

Naturally, it is also necessary to change people.

And the people who were originally frowning, and then heard these additions from His Majesty the Emperor.

One by one, they gradually loosened their brows and pondered.

"Your Majesty, do you want to re-disrupt the land and reduce land annexation?"

Zhang Xuan wondered.

"Yes and no."

Zhu Houzhao gradually relaxed: "I want to completely solve the matter of land annexation. "

"Now that Daming has opened the sea ban, the prosperity is several times that of a few years ago, and it still wants that super rice, and the price of food will soon fall again and again, and the so-called land, for most people, does not have so much survival value."

"After the land is rezoned, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell"

"At the same time, the land cannot be changed, but any seizure or annexation will be punished!"

If there are future generations here.

You must know that this is not the land contracting system?

However, for everyone present, this concept is a little ahead of its time.

"Seems to work."

Hube Shangshu reacted slowly.

If it had been before, this method would naturally not have been feasible.

After all, many farmers sell their land because they have to sell it in a disaster year.

Once the harvest falls and the land cannot be bought and sold, it is equivalent to starving the farmers to death!

But now Daming is different.

Now Daming has super rice, and it is so rich.

Indeed, this policy can be implemented.

"Your Majesty, although this method is good, it is not easy to implement it thoroughly."

Zhang Xuan suddenly said: "Once it is implemented, then the direct damage will be those gentry, as well as the officials in various places, and when the time comes, they will be wrapped up in public opinion, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and even make trouble, they will only be afraid of trouble." "

In the age before the wisdom was opened.

Public opinion is the best to manipulate.

Even though this method has great benefits for ordinary farmers.

But it only takes two or three officials to say three words to be able to misinterpret the meaning.

Then get farmers to unite and resist the policy.

"So I called Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Shangshu of the Military Department today."

Zhu Houzhao said slowly.

Shoshu of the military department?

Everyone was stunned and looked left and right.

I didn't see anyone.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and suddenly found that Shangshu of the military department was not here.

He gradually reacted to getting pregnant.

It seems that he was a little angry when he saw the fold just now, and he turned out to be called wrong.

Called Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette over.

"So be it."

"You first set up the charter, and then talk to the military department, you will be ready to do it."

Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment.

It's okay if the military department doesn't come anyway.

It can be used when transferring troops, and this kind of thing does not matter and call it to discuss together.
