Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 491: The right to speak in public opinion

Although it is late winter, the streets of the capital are still bustling and bustling.

The changing situation at the top of Daheng, the negative impact on the market life at the bottom is almost the same as nothing, but the positive impact, which is not small.

For example, after the news of the reform came out, coupled with the slaughtering knife that the emperor had wielded recklessly, there were not a few landlords and gentry who reluctantly sold their land.

After all, anyone with a little knowledge can see that this time, the butcher's knife wielded by the emperor was not only slashing at corrupt officials, but also following the vines and implicated a series of people while slashing at corrupt officials.

In this world, even if it is just a mere person who is not an official, with the privilege of the previous Ming, he can be rich and accumulate a family business that can be passed down to the family.

Not to mention, when Shangguan exists, the relationship behind which one is not complicated and entrenched in one place.

If you cut one, as long as you check with your heart, you will definitely be able to pull out a series of interests.

Obviously, those who can be connected with these relationships cannot be the poor people who can't even satisfy their hunger, at least they will be the rich landlords.

As for hurting good people...

The emperor can only say sorry in his heart, for the foundation of the world, for the countless people in the world who are still struggling with food and clothing, the necessary sacrifice is also a must.

The balance between the poor and the rich is never determined by the market itself. The rich will only get richer, and the poor will only get poorer.

This problem, and land annexation, are actually the same problem.

Successive dynasties cannot be resolved, but in his hands, even if absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed, absolute balance must be achieved.

As for the destruction of the people's livelihood and economy, the emperor has long been prepared for the great destruction.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the wave of land selling is also becoming more and more turbulent. It can be expected that with the continuation of the slaughtering knife, the selling of land will only become more turbulent.

Obviously, the more turbulent the land sales, as long as the court is properly deployed, the life of the people will naturally get better and better.

The people live a good life, even if the central government has to suffer for a few years due to the turbulence of the people's livelihood and economy, it is a happy thing for the emperor.

After the storm, there is a rainbow.

For Daheng, after the storm that has swept the world for many years, it is the beginning of a prosperous era. For this world and this nation, it is the foundation that will last forever!

"The people are peaceful and smiling, sir, this is the scene of the prosperous world!"

Several people were walking on the street, and coming to Zongdao was also flattering.

The emperor laughed, but he didn't take it seriously. The prosperous world he wanted was not the bragging of the prosperous world that the people couldn't even get enough to eat.

Now, even the capital at the foot of the emperor is still far from what he wants!

"Let's tell you, being a child of today, Shi is a kind of good governance that has never been seen in ages!"

"You guys, don't be fooled by those traitors. Although His Majesty's reform today is to restore all the land to the state, this is not to rob our land!"

"This is to allow us poor people to have land to grow and to eat. Think about it, all land is owned by the state, and His Majesty has set many rules and restrictions, and His Majesty is watching, those who used to be traitors, If you want to covet our land, it won't be so easy..."

"Look, why is the land on the market so cheap now, it's because of Your Majesty..."

Walking to an inn, the faint sound made everyone stunned. The emperor was obviously interested, took a step, and walked towards the inn.

Seeing this, several people from Zongdao looked at each other subconsciously, and they quickly followed.

The Son of Heaven walked in a dashing manner, but it was hard for the soldiers of the Imperial Army who were secretly guarding him.

Originally following the established route, all the guards were properly arranged, but this suddenly changed. It was still a small and crowded place like an inn, and the difficulty of guarding was obviously increased by more than one step.

While all the soldiers in the imperial camp were rushing to work, the emperor and several ministers of civil and military affairs had already arrived at the private room on the second floor of the inn.

There is no doubt that at this moment, including the emperor, the attention is attracted by the storyteller in the inn.

A few people came to Zongdao with a contemplative look, but there was an undisguised smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth.

In this era, the channels for the circulation of information are actually very few.

Even for gentry landlords, the channels for receiving information are nothing but word of mouth.

And the people at the bottom have very few channels to receive information. Most of the people, I am afraid, spend most of their lives wandering around in their own villages and nearby towns.

There is no need to say much about the dignity of scholars. It is precisely because of this that the discourse power of public opinion in this era has always been firmly grasped by the local gentry and landlords.

The first step for imperial power to go to the countryside is to break the control of public opinion.

This matter, he has already started this matter since he was assisting in the administration of the country and planning the reform.

In order to break the gentry and literati's control of public opinion, first of all, it is natural to break the privileges of scholars, and today's landlords and gentry's arbitrary control of tenants.

He was already doing this.

The rest, of course, is to diversify the channels for people to obtain information.

In the past, if the common people understood the policies of the imperial court, it was determined by the local gentlemen, or it was based on the people who went out and heard a few words outside.

As for those court notices posted everywhere...

What is written, in the end, can only rely on the mouth of the reader!

The people at the bottom have almost no sources of information to understand the policies of the imperial court.

And what he did was to start from the few entertainment methods of the common people in this era.

Such as storytellers in taverns and inns, such as major opera troupes.

Tell the people about the court's policies in the most simple and easy-to-understand way.

At the same time, these can also be used to sway the trend of public opinion, suppress the inversion of black and white by some ulterior motives, and, in a subtle way, complete the new culture propaganda that his emperor has always been thinking about.

Up to now, in the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda established by Jin Yiwei, there are nearly 500 opera troupes and nearly 2,000 storytellers…

Of the nearly one million taels of silver allocated to Jin Yiwei every year, almost two or three million taels of silver were allocated to the Department of Cultural Propaganda, and then the emperor, through the Department of Cultural Propaganda, influenced public opinion in the entire world.

"This Wen Xuan Division is worthy of use."

I don't know when, Laizong Dao suddenly spit out such a sentence.

Liu Qiyuan also nodded, the existence of the Wenxuansi is a secret to the people at the bottom, and even most of the literati gentry, but for them, it is naturally not a secret.

Over the years, many people who hindered the Wen Xuan Division were dealt with by Jin Yiwei. These are all things that are well known.

"In the most popular way, preaching the policy of the imperial court can also prevent ulterior motives from distorting and distorting the policy of the imperial court, fooling and oppressing the people."

"That's just one of them."

The emperor shook his head: "It's not enough just to let the people know, there are not a few people who are bold and daring, if you want to make the people live well, it is necessary to make the policies of the imperial court practical, so that the people can benefit, and the officials are clean and clear. The channels for the people to appeal must also be unblocked.”

"If you want me to tell you, Your Majesty... You are still too kind, sir. For those corrupt officials, if you catch one, you have to delay one, and if you catch a pair, you will delay one pair!"

"I'm going to kill you fiercely. I don't believe it. This knife can't hold back people's hearts!"

The murderous words of Duke Jingguo also made the two elders tremble. Well, these two brothers, two monarchs and ministers, are really a perfect match!

"Master, do you still remember when we were fleeing, in Qingshui County, a yamen clerk, relying on his big power, dared to lead people to rob a civilian girl, forcing Uncle Wu to commit suicide by hitting a wall, or else Brother Xiu Xiu, you were protecting me at the time, and I was almost beaten to death by them with a stick..."

"That's just a small official, those officials, those landlords and gentlemen..."

It seems that the sad part was dispatched. The more he said, the more excited he was, and the more he said, the more the two pavilions trembled.

The emperor was silent, and his thoughts were also difficult to calm.

When he was fleeing in the wilderness, he really completely refreshed his three views as a modern person. He never thought that there is such a **** in the world! Human nature can be so twisted and vicious!

But who is to blame for all this?

Weird disaster?

Yes, natural disasters are a big factor, but by no means the ultimate cause.

** is the most terrifying thing.

And the powerlessness of the ruling class and the help of Zhou are the most fundamental problems that lead to the emergence of **.

"Okay, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you can't be too hasty about everything."

In the end, the emperor just waved his hand.

Life is alive, unhappy things often happen.

Even if he has such a blessing from the system panel, this journey has not been a stumbling block!

In this world, no matter how powerful it is, it is destined to be limited by the world.

He, there is no way.

"Your Majesty is wise, the sage has a cloud, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, it concerns the whole world, and it must not be arrogant..."

Xu Feng glanced at Laizong Dao, who was talking eloquently, and snorted, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Laizongdao didn't seem to hear Xu Feng's dissatisfaction, and he still talked freely. The emperor did not interrupt Laizongdao's words. Instead, Shi Shiran took a sip of tea, as if he had never heard of it.

Lai Zongdao's secret meaning in these words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He is naturally clear, and it is nothing more than admonishing him not to kill recklessly.

And this has become the biggest contradiction between civil and military.

The thinking of the literati, or in other words, the thinking of the officials, such killing, and such unscrupulous killing, obviously does not conform to the rules of the system, nor does it conform to Confucian values, and it even endangers their lives.

If you really believe in them, you can't find a few people if you check the sky.

After all, the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate, I don't know how many interests are involved, and investigating a case is not about investigating a case, but about politics.

In this model, in the prosperous times, it is normal and inevitable to maintain the stability of the overall situation.

But under the current circumstances, it is obviously not feasible.

It also has nothing to do with the people who are admonishing being unusable, it's just a difference in thinking or values.

"Let's go, let's go around again."

When Zongdao stopped chattering, the emperor put down the teacup, stood up, and stretched.

The few people who came to Zongdao quickly got up and followed the emperor to walk out...
