    The warm room in the west of Qianqing Palace.  . .

    When Zhenwu came back from the next court, he changed into regular clothes and took a few sips of hot tea. Bao Fuquan came in and presented the daily Beijing News and Ning News. During this time, the debate between Ning News and Beijing News had disappeared from the Ming Dynasty.  The reasons and pros and cons of the New Deal shifted to the unity of opposites between Confucian rule of law and Legalist rule of law.

    This was led by Zhenwu. Some Confucian ideas were not conducive to the rapid economic development of the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty's sudden wealth. He had to start slowly correcting them through newspapers. The debate between the rule of law and the rule of law was for the sake of gradual progress in the future.  Experiment with the intensity of additional treatment.

    After roughly scanning the two newspapers, Zhenwu began to review the memorial step by step. He was not very concerned about the debate. To put it bluntly, the so-called debate at the moment was just a means of publicity.

    There was nothing going on in the court during this period, but at the beginning of the afternoon, Zhenwu had finished reviewing the memorials and was about to ask Bao Fuquan to report the secrets. However, Bao Fuquan came in and reported: "The minister in the study room  Five people, including Zhang Penghhe, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, Funing'an, and Chen Yuanlong, the Minister of Rites, submitted signs outside to ask for an audience."

    Listening to Chen Yuanlong, the Minister of Rites, Zhenwu knew that they were here for the debate between the rule of law and the rule of law. He nodded and said: "Let them in." After saying that, he stood up and moved a little.  I must have smelled something from the debate between Beijing News and Ning News, and I was worried that he would strongly lean towards the rule of law and come to the arena beforehand.

    Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside the palace, Zhenwu got up on the kang and sat down cross-legged. After Zhang Penghie, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, Funing'an, and Chen Yuanlong came in to say hello, he said lightly: "No courtesy, please sit down." Then he said calmly: "No courtesy, please sit down."  Then he ordered: "As soon as you enter, you will be rewarded with a cup of hot tea."

    "I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Emperor for his grace." After Wurui thanked him, he stood up and sat down in front of Zhenwu. Wurui came to see him because he really wanted to compete in the arena, and he was also slightly dissatisfied. According to the Beijing News  During the debate in the Ning Newspaper, Zhenwu even said hello to them and asked them to write an article for the Beijing News. In this debate between the rule of law and the rule of law, Zhenwu remained silent at all. They also saw the debate starting in the newspaper and then started to comment.  Realizing that this is Zhenwu's hand again.

    Regarding the debate between the Beijing News and the Ning News, they naturally knew what was going on. Therefore, they were deeply afraid of the debate on the unity of opposites between the rule of law and the rule of law, and were worried that Zhenwu would get worse as he played.

    After sitting down, Zhang Penghie bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty established the country with etiquette and governed the country with morality. Confucianism is the foundation. Since the Han Dynasty, etiquette and law have been used together. The overt Confucianism and dark laws of virtue, punishment, and assistance are the continuous development of the country.  The second rule is that the Supreme Emperor has governed with leniency for many years, and only then did he have the grand occasion of the Qing Dynasty. The ministers and other ministers sincerely pray that the Emperor will never be ruled by law."

    ??????

    Seeing the two of them sitting down, they went straight to the topic and made a fuss about the prosperous times. Zhenwu retorted nonchalantly: "The Zhenguan rule of the Tang Dynasty was during the prosperous times. Wasn't Tang Taizong Li Shimin strict about enforcing the law? What he said"  The law is not the law that I have entered into, but the law that has passed away. 'Have you never heard? Prosperous times do not mean blind relaxation. All the prosperous times can be said to be a perfect fit between the rule of law and the rule of law."

    Seeing Zhenwu refuting it with Li Shimin's "Zhenguan Rule", everyone was stunned. No one dared to say that the "Zhenguan Rule" was not a prosperous period. Tang Taizong Li Shimin indeed enforced the law very strictly.

    Song Zhu replied firmly: "Back to the emperor, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also followed the principle that morality and etiquette are the foundation of politics and religion, punishment is the purpose of politics and religion, and ethics and morality are the foundation of governing the country."

    Zhenwu glanced at him and took a sip of tea, but instead of refuting, he asked: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of the rapid overseas expansion of the implementation of the idea of ??sharing the land with the family?"

    Hearing this question, Wu Ru immediately lost his voice. What does the spread of small households into households have to do with overseas expansion and the rule of law?  The purpose of spreading the land among the people was to secure and consolidate the imperial court's annual income, and the purpose of overseas expansion was to expand maritime trade and develop overseas territories. These were completely unrelated things.

    However, Zhang Penghie immediately thought of the entrance. The entrance tax was cancelled, and the entrance tax will increase sharply. This is what Zhenwu has been pursuing. Overseas expansion can also be said to alleviate the conflict between entrance and land, but this has nothing to do with  What¡¯s the connection with the rule of law?  He couldn't help but frown slightly. The master's thoughts were really elusive, but he was thinking very far-term.

    After being silent for a long time, Zhang Penghe finally said tentatively: "Your Majesty, with the abolition of the entrance tax and overseas expansion, the Qing Dynasty's entrance and economy will inevitably grow rapidly. The humble ministers and other stupid officials will not know the consequences of torture.  What¡¯s the connection between cool methods?¡±

    "I have no intention of implementing harsh torture laws." Zhenwu said slowly: "You are my loyal ministers. You must take a long-term view and think more comprehensively about everything. The Qing Dynasty will be in trouble in the next ten years.?? will develop rapidly and prosper, and it will also encounter a series of problems, and many of them are new problems. Everything cannot be followed for a day.

    The incorporation of tenants into acres will not only bring about a sharp increase in the population, but will also intensify the mobility of the population. After the land is merged with the tenants, the shackles of farmers are virtually lifted, and the flow of craftsmen, untouchables, and landless farmers  Xing will increase greatly, and the entrance to towns with prosperous commerce will increase dramatically.

    What will be the consequences of the influx of a large number of unemployed and landless immigrants into cities and towns who are illiterate but have lost the constraints of clan and rural rules?

    The rapid expansion overseas will not only bring vast land, but also huge wealth. It will also greatly promote the development of commerce and trade, thus leading to the rapid prosperity of all classes in the Qing Dynasty. Within a few years, America,  A large amount of gold, silver, goods and agricultural products from Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia and even Europe, as well as a large number of slaves, will begin to flow to the Qing Dynasty, and countless people will quickly become rich.

    What will happen to the merchants and craftsmen who are getting rich quickly?  What will be the mentality?  Huayao wine land, extravagance, self-righteousness, and arrogance. The extremely rich class and the extremely poor class who have poured into cities and lost the constraints of clan and rural rules are all concentrated in cities and towns. What kind of situation will happen?  How will the court respond?  Can social stability be maintained by relying solely on the existing rule of etiquette and morality?  "

    Listening to Zhenwu's series of questions, all of them were E Ran. They had never thought about this situation. No one was sure that overseas expansion could bring huge wealth to the Qing Dynasty. However, what Zhenwu said was indeed reasonable.  , when a large amount of overseas gold and silver, commodities, agricultural products, and slaves began to pour into the Qing Dynasty, it would inevitably greatly stimulate the development of workshops and handicraft industries in towns, and it would also inevitably attract a large number of craftsmen and farmers to flow into towns. This is not alarmist.

    After pondering for a while, Zhang Pengye bowed and said: "Your Majesty, even if this is the case, why not increase the tax rate on commerce and trade through the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes? In this way, it can not only increase the revenue of the national treasury, but also effectively curb merchants and craftsmen, and make the common people rich.  Too fast to avoid a big divide between rich and poor in cities and towns.¡±

    After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. This method is good and can be said to be a success. However, Zhenwu's reputation may be damaged by it. Therefore, although several people secretly agreed, no one was willing to echo it.  .

    Heavy tax policy?  Zhenwu glanced at it. He responded quickly, but this method was a bit too early now. After sipping his tea, he shook his head slightly and said: "Increasing the industrial and commercial miscellaneous tax rate will inevitably inhibit the development of commerce. This is not consistent with  In the interests of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court's expenditure may have doubled in general, curbing the development of commerce and trade, and the gains outweighed the losses.

    The income from commercial taxes will increase year by year, and may eventually exceed the official tax of the Qing Dynasty. It should not be suppressed at present, but should be vigorously supported. Only in this way can the annual income of the imperial court grow steadily. At the same time, overseas expansion will also  The imperial court has accumulated huge wealth. There is no need for the imperial court to raise tax rates at the moment. Whether it is agriculture or commerce, it must insist on recuperating with the people.

    Furthermore, for the Qing Dynasty, this was an era of sudden wealth. Anyone who had the courage, ability, and insight to devote himself to commerce and sea trade could become rich quickly.

    Therefore, to resolve this possible crisis and contradiction, we must start with etiquette and ethics!  "

    Hearing Zhenwu¡¯s words, all five incomes are from Eran. Will the commercial tax exceed the official tax of the Qing Dynasty?  is it possible?  Is Zhenwu planning to favor business over agriculture?

    Zhenwu glanced at it for a few times, paused slightly, and then continued: "Ruling the country with virtue does not mean denying the rule of law, but using etiquette and ethics to overcome the shortcomings of relying solely on the rule of law. As the saying goes, if morality is established, the law will be established, and if the law is established,  If it can be maintained, the virtue will be great and the deeds will be long-lasting.

    Founding a country based on etiquette, governing the country with morality, ethics and morality are the foundation of governing the country. This is the foundation. I will not waver. However, we must also improve the rule of law on this basis. On the one hand, we must improve the "Great Qing Huidian" and "The Great Qing Code".  ¡±, and secondly, we must increase the publicity of the rule of law.  Although I do not advocate harsh punishment, but if the criminal law is not lenient, law enforcement must be strict!  Legislate with virtue and promote virtue with law.  "

    Hearing Zhenwu's words, I couldn't help but feel reassured. Although the criminal law was not lenient, as long as it was not a harsh punishment and the fundamentals of establishing a country with etiquette and governing it with morality were unwavering, Zhang Pengye was afraid that he would not know how to advance or retreat, so he bowed hurriedly.  Shen said: "The Emperor's holy concerns are far-reaching."

    Zhenwu waved his hand and said: "Since you are here, you should write a few articles for the Beijing News on the theme of legislating with virtue and promoting virtue with law to add prestige to the debate."

    "We will obey the order." Ji Jin hurriedly bowed, but secretly complained in his heart. Chen Yuanlong, the Minister of Rites, even slandered him. Several ministers in the study pulled him to support him. He said that he had to write an article for the capital when he got back.  Writing articles for newspapers is not an easy job. Even though I have money, that little money will attract their attention.

    Seeing that Ji Jin stopped saying a word, Zhenwu said: "Everyone, please kneel down."

    ? ?As soon as Zhang Penghie entered and exited, Bao Fuquan came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's past noon. Do you want to pass on the meal?"

    Zhenwu stood up, walked around for a few steps, pondered slightly, and then said: "Go to Xianfu Palace and tell the story. I will go to Qi Concubine's place to have a meal."
