"Whether it was the Han, Tang, or Song, or Yuan Dynasties.”
"When the dynasty is established, it will soon usher in a golden age.”
"However, in just two to three hundred years, we will face a calamity!”
"Why?"
"The most fundamental reason is that the distribution of land resources is too concentrated in the hands of the landlord!”
"Without land, a small disaster could cause the peasants to be unable to survive and thus cause chaos in the world.”
"The rise and fall of every dynasty has always been like this!”
Zhu Yunhao continued.
Everyone was silent.
The rest of the princes only saw that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to speak.
However, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were different.
The two of them frowned and their faces were pale!
They knew how Da Ming was destroyed.
Peasants uprising, Jiannu invasion of the border, court cliques fight.
Was there really no money or food in the world?
No, there must be.
It was just that the last emperor, Chongzhen, couldn't collect it!
"I see."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly.
Why did his grandson say that sweet potatoes could not save Da Ming?
If they didn't even have any land…
Where else would he go to plant sweet potatoes?
He knew the ugly face of the landlord and old money. Back then, he was about to starve to death, but Old Master Liu refused to give him a bite.
Wasn't this how a riot was forced out?
"Then, how do we stop the land annexation?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunhao.
He wanted to see if his grandson could give him an answer.
Naturally, Zhu Yunhao had already prepared for it, and he said it all in one breath.
"First, the land of the whole country will be cleared, and the owners of the land will be verified. The land will be divided into five grades according to the quality of the soil, which will be used as the basis for the collection of land taxes.”
"Secondly, the imperial power will go to the countryside and take all the land back to the state. At the same time, the land will be linked to the household registration system, and the land will be divided accurately to the households. It is strictly forbidden to privately buy and sell state-owned land.”
"Finally, we will encourage the reclamation of wasteland, increase the cultivable area of the country, build water conservancy projects, and irrigate farmland. The cost will be funded by the local residents according to the level of wealth.”
"What does Imperial Grandfather think?"
Three steps to prevent land annexation!
This was something that Zhu Yunhao had thought about for three days.
It could be said that it was a collection of the essence of ancient and modern times.
Firstly, clearing out a large amount of concealed land could increase the income of the imperial court.
The classification of land grades could help farmers who cultivated poor land reduce taxes.。
After that, the land would be nationalized, and the sale and purchase of land would be prohibited. The land would be distributed to farmers according to their household registration, which would be the future agricultural contracting system.
In this way, every piece of land would have an owner.
Not only could it prevent tax evasion, but it could also maximize the imperial power to the commoners, instead of the county officials saying after extorting taxes, the sky is high, the emperor is far away.
Finally, they could build water irrigation projects to increase the income of the farmers. At the same time, they could irrigate the farmland and increase production.
It could be said that if he followed these three steps.
Zhu Yunhao dared to guarantee that he would be able to make the agriculture of the Ming Dynasty clear to the greatest extent.
"These three methods."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then slammed the table excitedly."Alright, if we do this, those landowners and old rich people will no longer have the chance to bully the farmers!”
He wasn't a fool, and after pondering for a while, he understood the power of these three steps.
He was overjoyed and extremely excited.
According to these three methods of reform, coupled with the sweet potatoes, the biggest hidden danger of Great Ming would be solved in a day!
Exclaimed!
Shocking!
Zhu Yuanzhang was in disbelief.
A problem that could not be solved by generations was actually solved by his grandson with just a few words?!
Zhu Biao, the kings, and queens widened their eyes.
It was as if she was meeting Zhu Yunhao for the first time.
Even those who did not understand politics.
He analyzed Zhu Yunhao's words or Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
He could understand the power of these words.
"Yunren is really my Zhu family's Saint Child.”
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh.
The other kings and queens also nodded in approval.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the situation at the family banquet.
He couldn't help but be slightly absent-minded.
How many years had it been?
The last time this happened was when Zhu Xiong Ying displayed his literary talent at the banquet and won everyone's applause!
At that time, he was so happy that he even said that all three generations of the Great Ming Dynasty's lords were gathered together.
He wanted to express his approval of his eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying.
It was a pity that Xiong Ying died young, which made him secretly sad.
He thought that there would not be any Saint Child in the third generation of the Zhu family. He did not expect Zhu Yunhao to stand up.
This kind of ability, let alone in the Zhu family's third generation.
Even in the Imperial Court, he was definitely a great talent who assisted the country!
When he came back to his senses, he looked at Zhu Yunhao, who was still standing, and quickly said,""Grandson Yunchen, you have done such a great service to Great Ming, what reward do you want? Imperial Grandfather has promised you!"
Zhu Yunhao quickly declined." Imperial Grandfather, Ming is the world of my Zhu family. For the sake of the world, why should I reward you?"”
These words directly hit the bottom of Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
He laughed out loud.
"Good, good, good. As expected of our good grandson.”
"Such boldness is the best display of the elegance of my Zhu clan's sons!”
The entire banquet was harmonious.
Except for Lu shi.
Her face was pale and she could only force a smile.
She couldn't understand.
Who gave Zhu Yunhao advice to say such words to make the emperor happy?
However, she did not dare to ask.
If he were to interrupt at this time…
She was afraid that her father-in-law would misunderstand that she was jealous.
Concubine Lu was trying her best to restrain herself, and the food in front of her became tasteless.
"Father, although Yunchen doesn't want the reward, we have to show our gratitude.”
Zhu Di stood up.
Seeing Zhu Yunhao nod slightly, he was also relieved.
He had thought that his nephew had dragged him onto a pirate ship.
However, Zhu Yunhao's actions made it seem as if he was going to die.
Zhu Di suddenly felt that it might not be a pirate ship, but a sky-reaching warship!
Follow your nephew and you'll have meat to eat!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di." Then how do you think we should reward Yunchen?"”
Zhu Di smiled and said,"Why don't we give Yunchen the title of king?"”
Conferred emperor?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned.
Conferring the title of emperor wasn't a big deal in the Zhu family, but the biggest problem was this.
The title of queen had nothing to do with her future position!
To be honest.
It was not easy for the Zhu family to have a Saint Child in the third generation.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little reluctant.
However, Zhu Di continued,"Father, according to the rules of the past dynasties, sister-in-law Lu is the Crown Princess, and nephew Yun Wen is the first in line to the throne."”
"But nephew Yunchen is so capable, and he was also a member of Huaixi when sister-in-law Chang was alive. If the two brothers have a conflict in the future, I'm afraid it will be troublesome!”
When two tigers fought, one of them was bound to be injured.
In that case, it made sense.
Madam Lu originally thought that Zhu Di was speaking up for her.
His eyes lit up.
However, the more she heard, the more she felt that something was wrong.
His face slowly turned pale.
This Zhu Di, with just a few words, had set Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunwen against each other.
He also pulled in Huaixi's nobles and even blocked her, the Crown Princess Consort, in front.
How was this helping him?
He was clearly taking the opportunity to drag her down!!
