    The Ming History Museum was opened in the early second year of Shunzhi. Due to the uncertain political situation, it was reopened in the fourth year of Kangxi. Although it was opened twice, due to the San Francisco Rebellion and the prevailing anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few Han participants.  , resulting in little effect.  In the eighteenth year of Kangxi's reign, with the overall situation of pacifying the Three Feudatories having been settled, Kangxi opened the History Museum again and organized scholars on a large scale to compile the history of the Ming Dynasty.

    In the Erxuehong Confucian Science opened in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, a total of fifty people from the first to second grades of the pilot examination were assigned as editors, reviewers, and went directly to the Ming History Museum to compile history. The main ones were Tang Bin, Mao Qiling, Zhu Yizun, and Pan Lei.  , You Dong, Shi Runzhang, Wang Wan, Ni Can, Fang Xiangying, Jiang Chenying, Yan Shengsun, etc. were all famous scholars of the time.

    Although great Confucian scholars such as Wan Sitong and Huang Baijia did not enter the history museum and receive official salaries, they participated in the work as commoners. Wan Sitong participated in the compilation in Wang Hongxu's mansion and died of old age in Wang Hongxu's mansion.  Xu Yuanwen, Ye Fang'ai, Zhang Yushu, Xu Qianxue, Tang Bin, Chen Tingjing, Wang Hongxu and others served as supervisors and presidents of the Ming History Museum.

    The project was huge, and the Museum of Ming History was opened three times. Although it gathered countless well-educated scholars, it took decades to get into Zhenwu's hands, but it has not yet been completed. In terms of research on the history of the Ming Dynasty and a deep understanding of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly  A group of editors and review officials from the Ming History Museum.

    Zhenwu attached great importance to it and made it clear that the country must not be without history. He required the compilation of history, dared to write directly without deliberately avoiding it, beautified the dynasty, and deliberately cultivated historians who dared to write directly.  I was very happy when I heard that Zhenwu had ordered the officials of the Ming History Museum to write an article for the Beijing News to comprehensively and profoundly analyze the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. They all felt as if they had met the Ming Dynasty.

    ????????????????????????????????? For the officials who compile, the most important thing is to be practical and practical. Otherwise, what is the use of hard work in compilation?  The goal and purpose of historical research should be to use the ruler as a ruler to learn from the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

    The Zhenwu Order published the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in the Beijing News. This was to apply it to the times, help the times and improve customs, so that more people can learn about the people and deeds of the Ming Dynasty.  Naturally, the officials of the Ming History Museum happily complied with the order. After discussion, they unanimously decided to analyze the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty in detail from various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and diplomacy, and write a rigorous and systematic novel.

    "Compared with the joy and excitement of these Qingliu officials in the Ming History Museum.  The civil servants in the capital had sad faces. The New Deal not only infringed on the interests of the Jin gentry, but also on the interests of their officials. The officials and gentry all paid for the food and worked as errands. This was robbing money from their pockets. Not to mention this, what they hated most was the abolition of '  The collection of "Xian consumption".  Cutting off the "Xianfei" is tantamount to cutting off the source of filial piety from officials at all levels. State and county officials cannot collect "Xiansu", so they have no money to show filial piety to government officials. Naturally, there is no filial piety from officials in a province.  Well, no one shows filial piety to the local officials, so who else will show filial piety to the officials in the capital?

    Although Zhenwu has begun to increase salaries for officials, officials do not live on their salaries.  Receiving gifts is the main source of income for officials. Simply relying on salary can only guarantee that they will not starve to death.

    The New Deal not only cut off their financial resources.  They were also forced to work as grain errands. Naturally, the officials were very angry. What was even more annoying was that Zhenwu actually asked them to write articles for the Beijing News explaining the necessity of the New Deal and applauding the New Deal. Isn't this deliberately disgusting?  When all the officials heard this decree, they were all as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly, but no one dared to stand up and snort.

    The civil servants of the Qing Dynasty were not as good as those of the Ming Dynasty. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty had no one to check and balance except the emperor. However, the Qing Dynasty had a huge clan, Eight Banners Honors and other military meritorious noble classes.  The civil servants of the Qing Dynasty had to rely on imperial power to compete for a place in the court. Therefore, many ministers dared to be angry but dared not speak out. If anyone wants to go to war, the horse neighs, and you will be packed up and gone immediately, and you may even end up with your home confiscated and exiled.  fate.

    Mingli didn¡¯t dare to fight.  Then they can only be passive and sabotage. A group of officials, big and small, either hired someone to take advantage of them, or held their noses and went into battle themselves. They all focused on elaborating on the relationship between the Jin gentry and the court. They did not dare to take lightly the various measures of the New Deal.  In this regard, each one of them either wrote a thousand words and digressed thousands of miles away from the topic, or was simply perfunctory, or even talked about it in a eloquent way without making any sense at all.

    Of course, the civil servants were resentful, and the generals were equally resentful. Although the generals relied on empty pay and drank the blood of soldiers, it had little to do with "envy consumption". It is possible that any military attache who became prominent in the capital was not wealthy.  , who among the rich families these days is not a landlord?  Who is willing to pay food and work as an errand like ordinary people and pay money to the court every year?

    A group of royal family members, princes and nobles were even more dissatisfied. Back then, Kangxi had pressured them to agree to share the land from one person to another, and they all had great opinions. Now Zhenwu has gone even further, and even wants to implement the idea of ????paying grain to both officials and gentry.  Working together as a team, no need to think about it, they must take the lead in responding to the clan nobles. This is not to divide the land into acres. If the taxes and labor are paid according to the land, it is a huge sum for them. They occupy one by one.The amount of land they own is not a small amount, and the local landowners with Qianqing signs are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

    The royal family members, princes and nobles did not dare to be angry and dare not speak out like the civil servants. None of them had the intention to write any nonsense articles. They immediately began to walk around, looking for the flag owner to find popular nobles and nobles.

    The most popular clan in the capital is none other than Lao Ba, Lao Thirteen, and Lao Fifteen. However, Lao Thirteen Yinxiang and Lao Seventeen Yinli were busy with the expansion of the new imperial guard army. One day  There was no one around in the Ministry of War. Old Fifteen Yinhu kept talking to people about the Beijing News. Only Old Eight Yinhu was not too busy, and everyone who could talk to Old Eight rushed over.  Go to Prince Lian's Mansion.

    Yinsu had expected this, but when he returned to the mansion and saw a long stretch of eight-carriage sedans outside the gate, he still couldn't help but secretly complain. Fortunately, the old fourteen was not suspicious of him, otherwise the person who was offended by this situation would be  The sea is over. Looking at the situation today, there is quite a bit of anger among the people. I am afraid that I will have to persuade him with earnest words. The fourteenth is so tossing so hard. When will this day end?

    After getting off the sedan chair, Yan Jin, the chief eunuch of Prince Lian's palace, hurriedly greeted him and reported step by step: "Master, Prince Bumuba of Duoluo Shuncheng County, Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Wu Dezhao, Prince Ping County Narsu,  Bellemandu protector, Duke Orundai, Arsona"

    ??Yinhu waved his hand and said: "There is no need to sign up one by one. There are many people today. Please go to Yin'an Hall. I will take a shower and then I will arrive."

    After waiting for Yinhu to wash up and change clothes, he walked all the way to Yin'an Hall. The hall was already buzzing with discussion. When he saw Yinhu coming in, everyone stood up to greet him. Without any time to greet him, Alson'a said directly: "  Eighth Master, the officials and the gentry both pay the grain and work as errands, which is not the same thing as sharing the land. If this is implemented, the amount of money turned over every year will not be a penny."

    Yinsu nodded slightly towards everyone and then said: "You are free to do as you like." He turned to Alson and said: "Sit down and say, don't be in a hurry." After saying that, he walked straight to the main seat and sat down. When everyone was seated, he  Then he said: "My royal family members, the nobles of the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor's new policy is not aimed at you.

    Didn¡¯t you read the fundamental reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty that the Beijing News and Ning News have been debating over the past few days?  The Ming Dynasty fell because the court had no money. What will happen in the future of the Ming Dynasty?  The imperial court could not afford money for quelling chaos, disaster relief, aid, and water conservancy projects, but the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were able to spend huge sums of money on extravagance.  When the people are rich and the country is weak, there is peace and stability. However, in the event of disaster or famine or invasion by foreign enemies, it would be a strange thing to survive.

    The emperor implemented the New Deal to ensure that the court had a stable annual income. How many years had it been since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs?  In more than seventy years, the number of officials and gentlemen has quadrupled. The number of fields in the names of officials and gentlemen who do not pay grain and are not paid is even more horrifying. Have you ever thought about what will happen in a few decades if the New Deal is not implemented?  What's the situation?

    The court has no money, how can it support the soldiers of the Eight Banners?  What will be done to provide relief to the victims?  If the Qing Dynasty disappears and all your properties and shops belong to others, I don¡¯t understand. What would be your opinions on the trial implementation of the New Deal?  "

    Elundai, who has been idle at home, said dissatisfiedly: "Eighth Master, these words are a bit alarmist. Haven't the taxes of the imperial court been increasing steadily in recent years?"

    Yinhu glanced at him and said: "The imperial court's taxes have been increasing in recent years. That's because there are newly reclaimed wastelands every year. After these years of reclamation, there is no more reclaimable wasteland, but the number of Eight Banners has increased."  It is constantly expanding, and besides"|

    After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the imperial court's annual revenue has grown steadily based on the book figures. Whether it has increased or not depends on the amount of money in the national treasury. That is the most realistic."

    Prince Yu Baotai coughed lightly and then said: "Bago, there is no shortage of land in the Qing Dynasty now. The three newly built provinces of Nanyang and Australia are all barren and fertile lands. There is no threat of a reduction in the imperial court's annual income."

    Everyone in the hall became excited when they heard Baotai's words. Bumuba then said: "Uncle Eighth, with the speed at which the navy is developing overseas territories, the Qing Dynasty will never have to worry about running out of wasteland for reclamation. Doesn't the emperor still want to annex it?"  Are the Nanyang vassals a vassal state? We don¡¯t have to worry about the imperial court¡¯s income not growing steadily, so why bother taking advantage of us?¡±

    "This is very true." Several people immediately echoed.

    Seeing this situation, Yinhu couldn't help but secretly complain. This is true. The Qing Dynasty really has no shortage of land. There are a lot of wastelands overseas. This theory is really untenable. After thinking for a while, he said: "The more overseas territories there are, the more land there is."  If there are more soldiers, more soldiers are needed to garrison. Aren¡¯t the navy and the new imperial guard army expanding their forces on a large scale? Now the military expenditure of the Eight Banners Green Camp and the new imperial guard army alone exceeds the annual income of the imperial court."
