Chapter 11: Qianlong Reading!
In one go!
Although he had a thousand words in his heart, Liu Hao still didn't say a word.
The best way was to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a new political system, or to establish a constitution and carry out a series of reforms. However, Qianlong probably wouldn't listen. Moreover, after seeing this, this guy would most likely take him to the Meridian Gate or cut him up at the Caishikou.
The most important thing now was to be an official in the Qing Dynasty. At the very least, he would be a local governor and receive the rewards from the system.
To be honest, this system did not seem to be particularly powerful. According to the system itself, it could still be upgraded. However, this was the bad thing about this damn system. It needed to be upgraded. Who knew when it would be able to reach the maximum level?
After he finished writing, Liu Hao handed in his paper.
Yang Xi couldn't help but look at Liu Hao.
Knowing that Liu Hao was He Shen's disciple and He Shen was a flatterer, he naturally looked down on him.
"Good handwriting!"
Yang Xi's gaze paused slightly. Looking at the words in Liu Hao's book, he could not help but exclaim.
He looked at the article again!
Yang Xi could not help but be secretly shocked.
This Liu Hao guy was really good at deduction. Starting from Emperor Kang Xi of the Qing Dynasty, he directly used all kinds of rainbow farts, all kinds of classics, and the spring rain moistened everything.
Liu Hao wrote over 10,000 words.
Other than He Shen's guidance, Liu Hao had also gone through the experience of the public WeChat account in the future and conducted various verification and analysis. In the end, he proved that the refugees were just a disease of scabies and that our Great Qing Dynasty would definitely move from a glorious era to another glorious era.
Of course, it wasn't that Liu Hao didn't come up with a solution.
It was to organize the refugees and let the officials educate them while giving them enough seeds to reclaim the wasteland.
This way, not only would it increase taxes, but it would also be a way to solve the problem of refugees.
……
Yang Xi had to admit that the article was very good and closely related to the theme.
Most importantly, Yang Xi liked Liu Hao's so-called enlightenment.
"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Xi nodded slightly and couldn't help but take another look at Liu Hao."Not bad!"
Liu Hao only smiled and did not say much. Although the Qing Dynasty valued agriculture and suppressed commerce, in reality, Liu Hao knew very well that the so-called organization of refugees to reclaim wasteland was nonsense.
In the late Qianlong period, the phenomenon of land annexation was extremely serious. How could it be so easy to open up wasteland? Do you still have land to reclaim?
Without industries to absorb people, it would be a joke to reclaim wasteland.
Emperor Yongzheng's implementation of the policy of sharing the population into the land did not reduce the collection of taxes, but greatly increased the financial revenue. However, Yongzheng, with his iron fist, suddenly changed the head tax into the land tax. The powerful landlord had no time to hide the existing land, and the tax base was greatly increased. The unfairness of the tax was reduced, and the social contradictions were alleviated.
However, after the distribution of people into the fields, the powerful landlord changed from hiding the population to hiding the land. This was evident from the fact that the land area of the Qing Dynasty had never exceeded the peak of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Yongzheng could not make the despots and the Eight Banners descendants spit out the land and population that had been annexed. Tenting the land was only a method of surprise attack, so that the children of the Eight Banners and the powerful landlords had no time to forge information and had to bear part of the taxes of the tenant farmers. These taxes would inevitably be passed on to the tenant farmers, and the burden on the tenant farmers was still heavy.
Now, there was no more wasteland to be reclaimed.
However, it was not a problem to use this article to fool the people in the court. Qianlong was high and mighty, and the officials in the court were high and mighty. They naturally did not know what the situation of the people in the world was like.
Liu Hao wasn't the first to hand in his paper. In fact, he was very late.
When Liu Hao finished handing in his paper, the court examinations were almost over.
More than two hours had passed, and it was already late. The ten examinees who had passed the test had finally come to light. As for the others, they were ranked second and third according to the number of circles.
The last ten people, including Liu Hao, were all aiming for the first place. Three of them were destined to become the most eye-catching rising stars of the officialdom this year.
The ten people left in the hall looked at each other. Yang Xi stood up and said,"The emperor is about to arrive.”
"The Emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, Qianlong walked in.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Everyone stood up, but they did not dare to look up at the emperor. There were many etiquette in the Qing Dynasty, and it was often three bows and nine kowtows. This could be said to be the ultimate torture.
Otherwise, it would be a crime of losing composure in front of the emperor.
It could be big or small.
"Rise!" Qian Long waved his hand casually, and everyone stood up.
Liu Hao also took the opportunity to glance at Qianlong.
Qianlong did not look like Tielin, and he was even less like Zheng Shaoqiu. Qianlong was in his seventies and looked a little old.
Now, he had ruled for forty-five years. He could be said to be an emperor who had the power of a central power and monopolized all power.
Qianlong sat down in front of the emperor and said indifferently,""Today's court examinations are all my students!”
Qian Long paused for a moment before he started to read the papers.
Among the emperors of the past dynasties, Qianlong could be said to be the one with the best health. He was born strong and energetic. In the eighth year of Qianlong's Eastern Expedition, he hunted on the way and used as many as nine bows (the models of bows were divided into twelve strengths, and those above eight strengths were hard bows). After the age of sixty,"although the strength of the bow gradually decreased, it was not less than three or four." Although he had been working hard all his life, he had never been seriously ill. Until he was old, he could be said to be healthy.
However, no matter how good one's genes were, they could not resist aging. Although he repeatedly claimed to be " mentally pure," in fact, after middle age, his body inevitably showed signs of aging. After the age of 45, his left ear hearing had decreased. After the age of 65, the vision of the left eye also decreased significantly. After the forty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign, the signs of his body's decline became even more obvious.
His energy was clearly depleted. It turned out that when military affairs were urgent, he would wake up at five in the morning until twelve in the evening to read the intelligence that had just been delivered. His brain worked at high speed and he never felt tired. At this time, only one or two hours in the morning could clear his mind and deal with complicated political affairs.
After this period of time, his life would enter a half-asleep state. No matter how much he tried to summon it with his will, he would not be able to mobilize his spirit.
Right now, Qianlong was trying his best to stay alert.
For a moment, he could not help but sigh. However, the first thing Qianlong saw was Liu Hao's article.
Psychologists said that as people aged, their physical functions would deteriorate, and their personalities would often turn from extroverted to introverted, active to passive. When he was in his prime, he was ambitious and usually took the initiative to face the world. After entering old age, the feeling of powerlessness becomes more and more serious, so he often deals with external things with a defensive mentality, seeking stability and fearing chaos, and easily becomes passive and easy-going.
However, Liu Hao's article hit Qianlong's heart.
The Qing Dynasty would only go from one prosperous era to another.
Look, these words sounded so nice.
