Chapter 1722 The day is worth looking forward to
In the second year of Taihe, it was on track.
The first year of Taihe was an extraordinary year.
It is so ordinary that the emperor cannot be in the palace, he can only celebrate the New Year in Liaodong.
However, Zhu Yiliu was still very pleased.
Although he could not return to Beijing, all reforms were advanced in an orderly manner according to his vision.
The reform has also achieved remarkable results.
The people have their own fields, and there are a lot of refugees and beggars all over the country.
This means that factors of social instability are gradually being weakened or even removed.
Zhu Yiliu still believed and always adhered to that principle. As long as the people of the world had food and did not rebel, they would not be afraid of people from other classes of people jumping out, such as royal relatives and landlords and gentry classes.
The people are the basis of national rule.
In Zhu Yili's opinion, the Ming Dynasty was not defeated by the Qing Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty's roots were broken.
The late Ming Dynasty was already a rotten wood, vulnerable. Even if the Qing Dynasty did not enter the pass, it would be destroyed by other forces and then withdraw from the stage of history like all dynasties.
In fact, wasn’t the Ming Dynasty defeated by the Qing Dynasty because of the uprising of the peasant army?
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, we must be wary of the Qing Dynasty, and on the other hand, we must deal with peasant uprisings. The root cause of failure was because the foundation of rule was unstable, and the peasants were all rebelled.
This gave the Qing Dynasty an opportunity to take advantage of.
The foundation is unstable, and even without the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would still be at the end.
Therefore, the people are the basis of the rule of the country.
As long as the people have hope for their lives and don’t follow the hustle, people from other classes will not be able to jump up at all.
Even if someone jumps, without the support of the people, it will not become a climate and will be doomed to end in failure.
Zhu Yiliu resolutely implements land reform in order to allow the people of the world to have land and hope for life.
In this way, the foundation of rule will be stable.
If you implement other reforms, the resistance you encounter will naturally be much smaller.
It turns out that this is true.
Take the policy of gradually cutting off free supplies to the royal family as an example. No matter how big the opposition from the royal family is, what can it be?
Although the royal family is large, they have no military power in their hands, and no support from the people. At most, they just yell at the same time.
I never dared to jump up and challenge the court.
Besides, no one is unclear about the disadvantages of unconditional offerings to the royal family, and the royal family themselves know it.
It’s just that they have almost lost their ability to live because they have too much constraints on them.
While gradually cutting off the free supply of royal family members, many restrictions on them were gradually abolished.
What ordinary people can do, what they can do.
Including participating in the imperial examinations, including becoming an official.
With the blessing of such a policy, if you still want to jump up and oppose it and want to be raised like a pig, then you are sorry. If you don’t mind killing one to warn a hundred, you will be like the Hada tribe of the Jurchen tribe, you will suffer the consequences.
In the first year of Taihe, the treatment of all officials has more than doubled, and they have been off every six days.
Motivation has undoubtedly been improved.
Because they still insist on taking the exam and becoming a law, the efficiency of officials' work has naturally improved.
But Zhu Yili knew that this was far from enough.
Because politics became clearer, officials' gray incomes have been greatly reduced.
In this way, for many officials, their income may be reduced rather than increased.
Zhu Yili knew this.
How can one rely solely on the salary of an official? Usually in the Ming Dynasty, there was a person who was an official, with three wives and four concubines, and the servants looked at him and supported the family.
Therefore, many of the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not rely on their salaries to live, but came from "gifts" from subordinates.
It's really hard to get over the salary.
This is a reality that cannot be changed in a short period of time.
Because women in this era have low status and cannot show up, they have not been liberated yet, and except for reproduction and derivation of offspring and doing housework, they have almost no contribution in other aspects - this is the most difficult part to change.
What is the reform of the royal family compared to improving the status of women in the world?
But no matter what, the Ming Dynasty still developed step by step in the direction Zhu Yiliu was looking forward to.
It’s not a day when the ice is frozen three feet long.
It is not realistic to eat a big fat man in one bite, and you must move forward step by step.
There is a long way to go. It turns out that in which world you live in, it is not easy to achieve great things.
Zhu Yiliu can be regarded as having experienced it.
Even if you become an emperor, it is not easy. No wonder you like to travel through time and bring a system to support you.
But I am looking forward to the days.
In the first year of Taihe, he successfully advanced to the father of three children, and now one of Xu Wenying's belly is almost there.
More and more people trust him as the emperor, and now no one suggests him with the unreliable Lu Wang before, as if they are just two people at all.
Although in fact, there are two people.
But this was through his efforts, the concepts of officials and the people were reversed step by step.
If you don’t have trust, you will achieve nothing in the end.
If he had no trust, how dare he come to Liaodong? He would stay for a year and not leave?
Zheng Miaojin trusted him, Shen Shixing trusted him, and other officials trusted him more and more...
This ensures that he has no worries in the capital and is not afraid of chaos in the capital.
If Zheng Miaojin doesn't trust him and wants him to come back every few days, how can he have the intention to take charge of Liaodong?
If Shen Shixing distrusts him and makes the court chaotic, how dare he stay in Liaodong for a long time?
If the officials in the world do not trust him and do not work hard, it would not be a big deal.
No matter how powerful a person is, his power is ultimately insignificant.
It must be dependent on everyone, and all your strength is in the same place - this is the importance of the people's hearts and officials' hearts.
The emperor's authority does not always give people a feeling that he is superior and difficult to get close to, but rather makes people feel that the emperor is trustworthy and worthy of respect.
Only in this way can the hearts of all officials and the people of the world be united.
Zhu Yiliu was very pleased. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to this goal.
More and more people who trust him respect him.
His attitude towards him has obviously changed.
Shen Shixing is actually a best example.
I think Shen Shixing's style of dealing with things was a "peacemaker". He did not offend him and tried his best to reconcile.
But now Shen Shixing keeps supporting him and agrees with every policy he issued.
Shen Shixing's change in his attitude towards him was a process, and it also represented the mentality of many officials in the court.
This is Zhu Yili's feeling.
People close to Feng Bao also saw the change in the attitude of many officials in the court towards him, the emperor.
When they ascended the throne, the court officials were not so easy to talk to, and they were whatever they said.
This is all about trying to conquer those people with their grades.
Without achievements, there is no trust and respect.
