Chapter 144 Land annexation! Three-hundred-year rise and fall cycle rate!

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the gate of the imperial prison, Ji Gang came up.

But Ji Gang's face was a little pale at this moment, and his eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Yes, fear.

There is no one else who can make this emperor's number one hawk and dog afraid except for the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di.

Even the prince Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang didn't take it seriously.

However, he is really afraid of facing King Zhu Gaoxu, Han!

This Han prince is simply a madman!

Ji Gang could hear clearly what the conversation between King Han and Xie Jin was about to be heard clearly in secret!

On the surface, he took people away, but he didn't walk far and could just hear the conversation between the two.

This is a task assigned by the Emperor Zhu Di. The Jinyiwei must monitor the every move of King Zhu Gaoxu in Beijing!

After all, he is just a prince of Han now, and he is not the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di is really afraid that Zhu Gaoxu will cause some big trouble.

But now, Ji Gang regrets it very much and wishes he could not hear the conversation between King of Han and Xie Jin!

Founded the Ministry of Education, compiled textbooks, built academies, and pulled Cheng Zhu down from the altar...

This Han King Zhu Gaoxu is simply a madman!

He dares to attack Cheng Zhu, which is to be an enemy of scholars in the whole world!

How many scholars are there in the world in Ming Dynasty?

Infinite!

Now in the court, there are all civil servants and sects who studied Cheng and Zhu's official career!

If he really wanted to do this, the civil servants would drown him!

Thinking of this, Ji Gang couldn't help but pause and reminded him, "Prince, Cheng Zhu, don't move lightly..."

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this and then reacted.

This guy was just eavesdropping on his conversation with Xie Jin!

But he was not angry, after all, this emperor's eagle and dog do these jobs that cannot be used.

"Tangzi, you say you have a narrow vision and short-sighted vision, but you don't believe it!"

"Do you don't understand why I attacked Cheng Zhu?"

Ji Gang: "???"

clear?

I understand you uncle!

I understand that if you do this, you will die ugly!

After a few words in his heart, Ji Gang shook his head honestly.

He is not a literati and scholar, so he naturally doesn't pretend to understand for the sake of face.

At the same time, Ji Gang was also very curious. The Prince of Han knew that this matter was very important, so why did he insist on his own actions?

This is a thankless thing to harm others and not to benefit oneself!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Ji Gang, and he knew that what he was watching was Zhu Di's watchdog.

Some words can be passed on to Zhu Laosi through this watchdog.

"Gantunzi, do you know the shamelessness of literati?"

The shamelessness of a literati?

This is the truth!

As the emperor's eagle and dog, Ji Gang was the number one cruel official in the Yongle Dynasty. He was often impeached and cursed by those literati and doctors.

If these so-called righteous literati and loyal and honest ministers had the courage, they would even want to kill him to vent their anger.

Therefore, Ji Gang and the civil officials also dislike each other and they are looking for trouble for each other if they have nothing to do.

Of course, everyone hates cruel officials, but the literati are more fluent than military officials and great officials.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled without waiting for his answer and said to himself: "How shameless are literati? They shouted that merchants are shameless and shameless, and they are all unfaithful and unrighteous profit-seeking villains, but which family does not have some gray business? Otherwise, where will the family get their money and life?"

Ji Gang did not refute because what the King of Han said was the truth!

Those literati and doctors, open their mouths to be kind and moral, keep their mouths to be kind and righteous, and say they don’t want to be physically but they are very honest. Some merchants will feel ashamed of themselves when they make money.

Some scholarly families, on the surface, are high-ranking families, but secretly control all local businesses. This phenomenon is common, and it can even be said to be accustomed to it!

"Emperor Taizu Gao set rules to treat scholars preferentially and to raise scholars and pick up scholars. They do not give them some welfare and privileges, otherwise these scholars will not surrender to the court."

"But Emperor Gao ignored one thing. Among the benefits and benefits given to scholars, there is one thing that scholars with fame do not have to pay taxes!"

Ji Gang was also clear about this and looked at Prince Han with some curiosity.

"A scholar with fame is a gentry. Regardless of whether he becomes an official or not, he will try his best to seize the land for his descendants, so that his descendants do not have to worry about food and clothing, but just study with peace of mind and understand the truth, and continue to get fame and fortune!"

"One generation gains fame and fortune and begins to seize the land. Under the prelude of the second generation, the conditions and resources will be better, and it will be easier to obtain fame and fortune. They will also follow the old path of the first generation, regardless of whether they are officials or not, and leave it to their descendants!"

"In this way, the gentry seized the fields from generation to generation, which is what the literati and doctors said, "Farming and reading to pass on family, reading to understand the truth, and to be at peace with the world"!"

Hearing this, Ji Gang was a little confused.

He has also heard of this statement and does not find it strange.

If a gentry has no land to be with him, then will he still be called a gentry?

Moreover, it is normal for scholars to gain fame and fortune and begin to find ways to seize the fields.

If scholars do not have these privileges and benefits, who is willing to study?

"What exactly does Your Highness the King of Han mean? Gang doesn't quite understand!"

"Have you ever thought that the land was occupied by gentry through various methods, so what should the people in Guizhou do? What will they do to survive?"

Zhu Gaoxu sneered: "The land of gentry does not need to be paid. Then one day, the land in the world will be occupied by the royal family, nobles and gentry. If there is no taxable land in the world, what tax will the imperial court collect? What should I use to pay salaries to all officials? What should I use to provide disaster relief and river construction? What should I use to develop people's livelihood?"

"If that time really comes, the Ming Dynasty will be not far from the destruction of the country!"

When Ji Gang heard these "big rebellious" words, his face was so scared that his face was pale in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

However, he had to admit that the King of Han was not worried about anything!

Because according to the information of the Jinyiwei, there are gentry everywhere in the world, and these gentry have a large amount of land under their names!

According to the Han prince, if this was the first generation, then their second generation and third generation would still seize the fields!

Generation after generation, in the end, do ordinary people still have land?

Even fools can calculate it!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed. This phenomenon is actually very common, called "land annexation"!

At the end of the dynasties in all dynasties, most of them caused chaos in the world due to land annexation. In the end, the dynasty collapsed and the world changed hands.

Moreover, in the end of the dynasty, there will be great chaos in the world and wars will surely occur.

After years of war, the population was not ten, so the land was free, the interests were redistributed, and the next cycle began again.

People from later generations made a summary that this cycle was about three hundred years, called "the cycle of rise and fall of the dynasty in three hundred years."

Looking at all dynasties, there has never been a feudal dynasty, and its country lasts for more than three hundred years.

Back then, the Western Zhou Dynasty and Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty did not count. They experienced an internal purge, and after the redistribution of interests, it was considered a new cycle.

"Gangzi, the land of Daming is like a huge melon. The owner of the melon is Lao Zhu, and he is responsible for the distribution."

"Old Zhu divided this part into the heroes and relatives and the royal family, and the remaining most of the melons were distributed to the people of the world!"

"However, there are so many people among the people who are snatching the share of others through various means, even far exceeding the previous small part!"

"In the end, the people who did not get the melon will begin to be dissatisfied, start to cause trouble, and start to resent!"

"But this melon is only that big. Do you think it will be the result in the end?"

Ji Gang swallowed and murmured subconsciously: "The melon is destroyed and the person is killed!"

Zhu Gaoxu gave him a thumbs up with some amusement, and then ordered: "He will make a decision by passing these words to the old man intact!"
