Nothing is too small

Zhu Yunyou didn't say much about this era of rebellion. As long as the Ming Dynasty is stable, there is naturally no need to worry too much.

And the mess outside is just messy, and this is even beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is taking advantage of the troubled waters or taking advantage of the problem, it is still more in line with some of the strategic intentions of the Ming Dynasty.

If you really think about it this way, it may not be a bad thing. Zhu Yunyou naturally has no unacceptable things. Just eat melons and watch the show happily, and raise troops to attack at the right time.

Now we are still more concerned about the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. This is a more important thing. Only when one's own strength is excellent enough can the next series of plans be carried out.

Zhu Yunyou would not do anything about losing the foundation. Although after more than 30 years of development, the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty is indeed becoming increasingly stronger. But no matter what, Zhu Yunyou also needs to be careful and cannot be too hasty.

After the morning court, Zhu Yunyou also summoned important officials in Wuying Palace, and the matter discussed was naturally related to the autumn tax of the Ming Dynasty. Especially the matter of diving to the acres, Zhu Yunyou has always been very concerned about this matter.

As the Minister of Revenue, Yu Xin also has a say in this. "I have a reply from Your Majesty. After two years of purging, the Ming Dynasty had a total of 5.17 million hectares of land. Compared with the statistics of the 26th year of Hongwu, the land acres have dropped by nearly three million hectares."

Zhu Yunyou was basically satisfied with this data.

Because in the 26th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty counted a number of 8.5 million hectares, which was a bit beyond reality.

Simply put, in the 14th year of Hongwu, the land in the Ming Dynasty was less than 4 million hectares and the tax on grain was less than 3 million stones. In the 24th year of Hongwu, it was only 3.8 million hectares and the tax on grain was 3.2 million stones.

The statistics from the 26th year of Hongwu are really exaggerated, and this is more than doubled, more than four times the farmland during the Yuan Dynasty, which is a bit too exaggerated.

Seeing this number, those who don’t know thought that Zhu Yunyou had ascended the throne for three years and directly defeated nearly half of the Ming Dynasty’s property.

However, the land of some garrisons is also excluded from here. The farmland of garrisons is military camps, so it cannot be regarded as ordinary farmland. These military camps are naturally not considered as part of the food collection.

After all, it is a military camp. First of all, there is a "army". Although the food is taken away by the military households to support their families, it is still more of it to be taken away by the court.

It is certain that the land in the Ming Dynasty was increasing continuously, which is certain. The land in the Ming Dynasty still has a lot of potential to be explored. Zhu Yunyou didn't think that it seemed that half of the land was missing, but he was spending his fortune or serious land annexation. This was actually a kind of growth.

Through continuous reclaiming, including the continuous development of Huguang and some land in Liaodong, the most important thing is to clear out a lot of hidden land from the powerful, and the number of farmland in the Ming Dynasty increased a lot.

Zhu Yunyou nodded slightly and said with a smile, "We remember that in Hongwu 24 years, we paid 7 liters of grain per mu of land. Now we don't need to reduce taxes. The Ming Dynasty will be in stock for no less than 3.5 million stones this year."

Yu Xin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind and the grain tax is set to be seven liters per acre. This year, it will be a good weather. I want to get more food into the warehouse."

The grain tax in the Ming Dynasty itself was not particularly large. Now some places have less taxes and taxes due to the stakes. In fact, for many farmers, there are naturally some burdens, but overall the pressure must be reduced a lot.

Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile and said, "The Supreme Emperor is from a poor family and knows that it is not easy for farmers. Now the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, and it is worthy of the good intentions of the Supreme Emperor. Wang Cheng'en sent the memorial to the Ganqing Palace and ask the Supreme Emperor to take a look."

Bao Zhao of the Ministry of Justice also said at this time, "Your Majesty, although the two tax laws are abolished in the two capitals, there are still officials collecting harsh taxes to disturb the people. I ask for an order to investigate this matter strictly."

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, although the grain tax is not too much, most of the time they need to pay is not just grain tax, and the miscellaneous taxes are even more a heavy burden for them.

Zhu Yunyou's eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a sneer, "It seems that our emperor is not taken seriously by some people. We will repeatedly say that after we have accumulated acres, we will not disturb the people. The various taxes will be changed and abolished. It seems that many people do not take our kindness seriously."

In fact, this is the case. A policy may be good, but when it comes to the local area, it may become a policy that disturbs the people.

For example, the stakes that Zhu Yunyou promoted by the government can be said to have very good restrictions on land annexation, and the people also have some regulations on the payment of grain. In terms of original intention, Zhu Yunyou also hopes to reduce some of the burden on farmers.

But this is not a good thing for some landlords and gentry. This will make it more difficult for them to hide the land and make it difficult for them to continue to annex the land. Some officials will come up with many ways to increase their income every time they collect taxes.

Some messy taxes may not be collected by the Ming Dynasty court, but it is very likely that some officials made a fortune under the banner of the court.

No one was surprised at the emperor's anger. This person seemed a little more generous than Emperor Hongwu. However, many people also knew that if this person became cruel, he would be no less than Emperor Hongwu.

Since some people dare to interfere at this time, they will naturally face the emperor's thunderous anger, which does not need to be strange. Since many people have such thoughts from the beginning, they should not expect to live a stable life.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, the Dali Temple, and even the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are all going to take action. It can be seen that the Emperor Ying Shi was determined to do this.

It is normal to have determination. Zhu Yunyou must be strict with these things. Not to mention that now is the beginning of the new policy. At this time, a good policy has been wrongly sang, and many things that follow will naturally be troublesome.

At this time, for those who dare to stretch out their hands randomly, Zhu Yunyou naturally wanted to use thunder means to let these individuals know what kind of miserable consequences would be encountered if it hinders the national affairs. At this time, Zhu Yunyou couldn't rub any sand in his eyes.

After talking to the important officials, Zhu Yunyou asked with a smile, "Recently, Dongri, most of the princes of Fuyue and the two countries are in Beijing. Do you know what our royal family is thinking?"

This is actually hard to answer. The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were naturally clear about what many royal families are thinking about now. Everyone knows what they are thinking about.

After all, it is because these two vassal states are so special that many members of the Ming Dynasty have seen the benefits, and many people also want to truly experience the fun of the lord of a country.

Before the Ming Dynasty, I was afraid of Emperor Hongwu, but now I am more afraid of Emperor Yingxi. When will this day be the end? What's more, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not do anything.

Whether they want to have some foundation and achievements on their own, or simply curious about overseas, the royal family of the Ming Dynasty is now more enthusiastic about Zhu Gaochi and others, and there are too many things that seem worth paying attention to.

But now this topic is not suitable to talk about in front of the emperor. It is simply that the ministers have their own awareness and there is no harm in keeping a certain distance from the royal family.

If you answer casually at this time, the emperor may not care. But if the emperor is cautious, it will naturally have certain hidden dangers.

The court officials are so concerned about the royal family? Is there any connection or contact? Or simply, these royal families are the royal families of the Ming Dynasty. Are you court officials staring and monitoring, and are you trying to provoke the family affection of the Tian family?

It is absolutely no harm to think more. In the British Dynasty, it seems that it is much safer than in the Hongwu Dynasty. However, once these people relax their vigilance and lower their self-requirements, it obviously means that they may not only have reached the end of their career, but also have to come to the end of their lives.

Seeing these ministers whimpering, Zhu Yunyou had no choice. He was not fishing for law enforcement, but simply these important officials of the Ming Dynasty underestimated his mind. These important officials seemed to be so thoughtful that they thought too much.

There seems to be less honest between the monarch and his subjects. There is no way to communicate steadily, and only routines are left.

Zhu Yunyou didn't care about these things, just let them vent their anger a little, just let these people know some of his thoughts and ideas, and he didn't need to worry too much about the rest.

Some things do not need to be explained thoroughly, otherwise there will be some meaning. Those who can stand in the court are all human beings, and their abilities are actually not too much. They will also know that the Emperor Yingxiu would not say anything irrelevant.

After sending these people away, Zhu Yunyou called Chang Mao over, "Uncle, you have to pay attention to the rectification of Yulinwei, and you have to take care of the matters over there."

Chang Mao said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I really don't have the ability. I can't lead the troops, and I can't train the troops. I'll easily get confused after drinking some wine. Let's leave these things to others."

Zhu Yunyou does not think that Chang Mao’s statement is self-worth, and some of it can be considered a fact. In the eyes of some people, Chang Mao is indeed like this, and he is indeed a bit unbearable to support the wall.

But Zhu Yunyou also understood that although his uncle was an absolute playboy, he would not be unable to do anything. However, in many cases, Chang Mao was still clear about his identity, and he was also more taboo about some things.

"Uncle, we know my abilities." Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't need to feel taboo. Yulinwei is something we devoted, and this matter is not careless. Although there are other people, we are not very at ease. My uncle is at ease when he takes care of us."

Since the emperor had said this to this extent, Chang Mao naturally agreed, "I will go and ask the Yulin Guard in a while."

There is definitely no problem with this. This is the mountain of Wuxun, and this is the right governor of the General Office of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty. His inquiries about these matters can be considered as the scope of his duties and other matters.

Zhu Yunyou nodded with a smile, and then said, "Go back and discuss with Duke Cao. This trip of the nobles should also let some people go to Goryeo to practice. We need to use the army in the future, and we should also train some nobles with some skills."

Chang Mao was naturally very willing to accept this task, which was something he should do. Who made him one of the leaders of the Ming Dynasty? Many people in Changshi wanted to expect Chang Mao to take them off with him.

Even though Chang Mao did not go on the battle personally like Xu Huizu of the Xu faction, Chang Mao was always reliable when it comes to striving for the opportunity to make contributions.

It is obvious that the British emperor will give some noble families the opportunity to make achievements this time, and cultivate the second generation of honors and the third generation of honors, which is also to prepare for the next series of military use in the Ming Dynasty.

It is easy to get a general in the three armies, and Zhu Yunyou must consider eliminating these things. Lan Yu and Fu Youde are not young anymore. Veterans like Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying are almost unlikely to have another chance to go into battle in the next battles.

Although newcomers like Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng emerged, Zhu Yunyou never forgot the founding nobles of the Ming Dynasty. There are many of these martial arts families that deserve to be cultivated.

Chang Mao naturally had a more say in this. He really hoped that the Chang nobles would be more reliable and could become a powerful weapon and support in Zhu Yunyou's hands, and ensure that the Ming Dynasty was forever.

These are also in line with the interests of the Chang family and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, they are also in line with honor and disgrace.

Of course, these founding nobles are actually somewhat rejected by Zhang Yu and others. These founding nobles have deeper qualifications and sometimes they naturally have a sense of crisis. They do not want to be brought up by Zhang Yu and others.

After explaining these things, Zhu Yunyou felt much more at ease. Of course, he still had a lot of things to do. For example, Zhuo Jing's memorial was not here to apologize, but was carefully reporting on the political affairs in Fujian.

He did a lot of things, that is, he wanted to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's pressure on Ryukyu. These things were also ordered by Zhu Yunyou, so he naturally needed to do these things well.

Looking at the memorial, Zhu Yunyou still had no expression on his face. He still needed to continue to beat Zhu Jing, his former confidant. As for Zhu Jing, who wanted to return to the center, it would obviously not be so easy. One betrayal would be enough to make Zhu Yunyou continue to "exile" Zhu Jing. He was very cautious and could not accept these betrayals!
