Seeing that Old Thirteen even moved out of Kangxi, it showed that he was very afraid of abolishing the control of shaving his hair and changing clothes. Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at him, feeling quite depressed. Old Thirteen was still like this, let alone other members of the royal family. , the prince is noble? I'm afraid this matter is quite tricky, and it will take a lot of effort to explain.
He had no intention of becoming a big fat man in one bite, nor did he want to pile things up. He nodded slightly and said: "Haste makes waste, I am not in a hurry. I will wait until the new army of the Imperial Guard changes their uniforms." Then declare it to the world."
As he spoke, he glanced at Old Fifteen, changed his subject, and said, "What Brother Bagh just said is that all the royal family members in the capital, princes, nobles, and officials, big and small, are talking about the new policy and they can't agree on one thing. Brother Fifteen must also be thinking about it." Are you here?"
Yin Huozheng was secretly surprised by Zhenwu's unfettered ideas and wondered why Zhenwu would take the abolition of shaving and changing clothes as a breakthrough in integrating Eastern and Western cultures. When Zhenwu suddenly asked him, he thought of entering the palace. After pondering for a moment about the purpose of the audience, he bowed and said: "Back to the Emperor, by the time my younger brother entered the palace, most of the articles written by officials of all sizes in the capital explaining the new policy were useless. Only the Hanlin Academy and the Inspectorate had some. A few of the articles are somewhat interesting, and I am quite concerned about them."
Zhenwu nodded slightly. This situation did not surprise him. After all, the New Deal harmed the interests of officials. If they sincerely applauded the New Deal, there would be a big problem. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yinju. , Yinxiang and others asked: "The reaction of the royal family, princes and nobles was very fierce?"
Yinyao hurriedly bowed and said cautiously: "When I returned to the emperor, I couldn't say that it was very intense. It was mainly worried and dissatisfied. I made some inquiries and found out that many of the princes and nobles who had enfeoffed overseas countries had invested money in overseas enfeoffments." The country is short of money. Secondly, those who have not been enfeoffed feel unhappy. When the officials and gentry mention paying grain and serving as errands, the amount of money they turn in every year is not small, and they feel dissatisfied. Secondly, most of the Eight Banners who are honored by the Eight Banners should Treat them differently from the Han people."
Yinxiang smiled and said, "I am busy with the expansion of the new army and have not been entangled by them."
Nodding slightly, Zhenwucai said: 'How did you handle the New Deal? "
"Go back to the emperor." Yinju bowed slightly and said, "It is beneficial for the court and the people to benefit the officials and gentry at the same time, but it is not good for the officials and gentry in the middle. I secretly think that in order to ensure that the New Deal can be fully implemented, I am not interested in this." Officials and gentry cannot be generalized and must be divided and drawn together. After all, it is the officials and gentry who implement the imperial decrees. Otherwise, no matter how good the decree is, it will be distorted when it reaches the local area. Even if it is widely publicized by the Beijing News and Ning News, there is no guarantee that it will not be correct. Be misrepresented.¡±
"What Bage said is true." Yinxiang also followed: "The people are illiterate, and their understanding and understanding of the New Deal completely depends on the explanation and publicity of the officials and gentry."
After a slight pause, he raised his head and glanced at Zhenwu, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the New Deal offended not only officials and gentry, but also businessmen. All wealthy merchants are also big landowners. It can be said that the New Deal has offended the majority of the people. Clear the interests of all wealthy people. If we do not divide and win over, I will be very worried."
Zhenwu knew that the division between the two people was to win over each other, which meant treating Manchus and Han differently. He naturally wanted to win over Manchus and Mongolian nobles, and princes of the Eight Banners, but he did not want to do so at the expense of concessions. He thought for a moment before looking at Yinde. Said: "What is the attitude of the Ming History Museum towards writing articles for the Beijing News?"
Yinhuo hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the Ming History Museum sent people to the Beijing Press Office yesterday to discuss, and prepare to elaborate on the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty from various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and diplomacy."
Zhenwu slightly led the way and said: "The purpose of compiling "History of the Ming Dynasty" is to apply it to the world, so it is very good. The Beijing News in the past two days mainly focused on the death of the Ming Dynasty and the relationship between the imperial court and the Jin gentry."
"My brother obeys the order." Yin Fu bowed hurriedly and said.
¡°We¡¯ll talk about the New Deal propaganda after tomorrow morning.¡± Zhenwu said calmly.
After hearing these words, Yinju realized that Zhenwu was going to kneel down next, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is currently expanding its army and raising pay, and the expenditure is huge, but the emperor is still able to support it without using national funds. I thought that with the conquest of Africa and the development of Southeast Asia and Australia, the imperial court would become more and more prosperous. With the expansion of Southeast Asia and Australia, and the continuous expansion of American feudal states, the Qing Dynasty did not consider land annexation at all. Too much, there is concern about the surge in landless refugees, the annual income of the imperial court is also increasing steadily, and the ministers are stupid and really don¡¯t understand why the emperor still implements the New Deal?¡±
Hearing these words, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile. Needless to say, Lao Ba must have been troubled by all the princes and nobles. This question was indeed on the point. After thinking for a while, he said: "There is no shortage of people in the Qing Dynasty nowadays. Money, but the court is short of money. Everything cannot be paid for by my internal funds. Everything must be customized. Salaries, military pay, relief, construction, education, etc. must all be paid by the court.
Now I¡¯ve made the stall a little bigger, and I¡¯m going toThe annual revenue of the government cannot be met at all, so we have to temporarily finance it from internal funds. This situation cannot be maintained for a long time. I must vigorously increase the court's annual revenue. Implementing the New Deal is only one aspect. Besides, it is not a blessing for the country to have a rich people but a weak country. The Ming Dynasty has learned a lesson from this. How could the Qing Dynasty not learn from it? "
The people are rich and the country is weak? Yinju was suffocated when he heard this. No matter whether it was internal funds or national treasury, he had never been as rich as he is now. In the eyes of the old fourteenth, what makes a country rich and its people strong? Furthermore, is it necessary to separate the imperial court and internal funds so clearly? Is this too long-term a consideration?
After talking for a long time, Zhenwu did not want to waste any more words. After a slight pause, he said: "Everyone kneel down. Tomorrow morning, all the royal family members, princes, nobles, and officials above the fourth rank in Beijing will attend."
"I obey the order." Yinju and others hurriedly bowed and said.
Early the next morning, after Maochu, all the royal family members, princes, nobles, and civil and military officials of fourth rank and above in the capital rushed outside Changyuan early. Everyone knew in their hearts that this morning's meeting was about the New Deal. The officials and gentry Measures such as paying food to one person and serving as errands, abolishing waste and other measures are directly related to their vital interests, and no one cares about them.
A group of civil and military officials who had arrived early gathered outside to whisper and discuss in low voices, speculating on the possible situation that would arise in the morning session this morning. The New Deal infringed not only the interests of the Han members but also the interests of the full members. It can be said that as soon as the New Deal came out, , Zhenwu is against all officials.
Even so, many officials are not optimistic about the situation in the morning court. Zhenwu Suxi Qiankun is arbitrary. In terms of strength, he is even stronger than Kangxi. No one knows what the morning court will be like today? It is also possible that Zhenwu will not give them a chance to build momentum at all.
While the officials were whispering to each other, the gate of Changyuan slowly opened, and two teams of guards in bright armor filed out, followed by several eunuchs. After standing at the gate, the leading eunuch shouted : "The Emperor has a decree to bring all the Manchu ministers into the palace."
Hearing this decree, all the ministers were secretly happy. Zhenwu summoned them separately. It must be because the Manchus and Han were different. They lined up in a hurry one by one. The faces of the Han ministers were earth-colored. Needless to say, Zhenwu Wu is trying to win over Manchu. Without the support of Manchu, only Han ministers can persuade Zhenwu to stop Zhenwu from implementing the New Deal? Even if you want to settle for second best, it won¡¯t work.
Yinju, Yinxiang and other royal family members, princes, nobles and civil and military ministers were not together, but were waiting at the small east gate. After hearing the eunuch's order, both of them felt slightly happy. The Fourteenth Lao did not insist on his own way, and finally opened up to the Manchu people. Many princes and nobles also vaguely guessed that things might turn around, and they all secretly rejoiced.
After hearing the news that a full crowd was waiting outside, Zhenwu came out of the front hall and slowly climbed onto the throne placed on the steps at the door.
As soon as all the royal family members, princes, nobles, and civil and military ministers saw Zhenwu sitting down, they knelt down in order and said: "I, the servants, respectfully greet the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
Zhenwu Du glanced at the ministers. After everyone had finished their courtesy, he said calmly: "Pingshen."
After everyone stood up to thank them, Zhenwu said straight to the point: "This morning, I summoned all the ministers and workers in advance to discuss the new deal. I heard that the ministers and workers have some criticisms of the new deal. Is this relevant?"
Hearing this, the hearts of all the royal family members, princes and nobles sank. The tone of these words was wrong. Could it be that Zhenwu wanted to be like Kangxi and force them to accept the New Deal? The joy that filled everyone's hearts disappeared immediately, and no one said a word.
There was silence in the huge square, which was so depressing that the study ministers Xiao Yongzao and Song Zhu Bushen complained secretly. It would not be a problem if this went on. Zhenwu's words must be answered. If they didn't speak, they would have to go to the study. Damn it, I have to bite the bullet.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yongzao stepped out of the queue and spoke first: "Back to the Emperor, the new policies are beneficial to the country and the people. How dare you, the slaves, be dissatisfied."
When I saw Xiao Yongzao, I burst into laughter. , Yinju couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and went out of the queue and said: "Back to the emperor, the Qian Ming Dynasty collapsed because the national treasury was empty, the people were rich and the country was weak. When there was a disaster, there was no way to provide relief. As a result, refugees spread everywhere and the place was ruined. The lessons from the past are not far away. , How could the Qing Dynasty follow in its footsteps? Sharing a small family into a farm, and paying officials and gentry to work as errands was a good way to stabilize the court's annual income and consolidate the rule of the Qing Dynasty. How can slaves and others be dissatisfied? "
Bu Musi, the king of Shuncheng County, immediately stood up and said: "I second my opinion, our Qing Dynasty uses a small number to control a large number. The people are rich and the country is weak. Isn't it always like walking on thin ice?"
Seeing this situation, Manduhu and Alson'a also came out to second the proposal.
However, that's all. After a few people finished speaking, no one came out to agree. It was about their own money bags, and no one's head was hot. All the royal family members, princes, nobles, civil and military ministers were all waiting to see what happened. square ?It fell into silence again.
