Chapter 283 Zheng Guoben () 'Joining in the Grand Event' (7K)

In fact, if you look at Gao Pragmatic's busy life in the past thirty years, you will find that the things he has done since coming to Ming Dynasty seem to be many and complicated, but in the final analysis, what is the most important thing?

It is not about strengthening the army and expanding borders, it is not about scientific inventions, it is not about promoting industry and commerce, it is not about introducing Western learning, it is not about the reform of the imperial examination that has not been implemented until now, etc., but it is financial reform.

Military is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of economy. Therefore, the root of all problems is economic problems. What this Ming Dynasty, which is dilapidated and leaky and has serious congenital defects, lacks most is a systematic economic reform.

Economic reform cannot wait for bottom-up changes, otherwise it will be accompanied by political turmoil, followed by military turmoil, which will eventually destroy the entire dynasty and cause a complete reshuffle. However, even so, this economic crisis caused by

Turbulence may not necessarily lead to a new production relationship that is suitable for the productivity of the time - that is, a new economic system.

On the contrary, it is more likely that the result of this turmoil is to destroy the original groups that have enjoyed too many privileged benefits and then replace them with a new group of privileged groups.

The alternation between Qingming and Ming Dynasty is essentially nothing more than this.

Therefore, bottom-up economic reform cannot be expected. Gao Pingyi insists on not letting Chinese civilization bleed out in order to achieve his own goals. The only way is to lead a top-down economic reform.

The scope of economic reform is larger than that of fiscal reform. It includes at least two parts, the official and the private sector, while fiscal reform is basically limited to the government. However, fiscal reform is a prerequisite for economic reform. After all, if the central finance is already poor, it can

If the rats are starving to death, then any economic reform can only be thought about. It is completely a reflection of the moon in the mirror and is out of reach.

Looking at the efforts Gao Pragmatic has spent on fiscal reform over the years, we know that his policy is to take each step step by step, and then plan the next step.

Why do you have to do this? Because the Ming Dynasty was so rotten in all aspects, like a patient who has been ill for a long time and is exhausted. At this time, if you give him a powerful medicine that seems to be completely symptomatic, he will

That broken body can't bear it at all. The result will be whether the virus in the body is dead or not, but the person will definitely die instantly.

At this point, there is an example that Gao Pragmatism has always been very wary of, and that is the story of Russia’s implementation of shock therapy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which actually put itself in shock—and since then, Russia’s economy has actually never climbed.

Instead, it has fallen completely into deep energy dependence, the economic structure is abnormally deformed, and there is almost no hope for the future.

From Gao Pragmatic's point of view, the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty was actually far worse than that of Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. After all, Russia had a big weapon in its hands. No matter how much others coveted it, they would only dare to knock on the bones and suck the marrow out of the economy, but they would not dare to directly

Use the knife to drive it to death.

However, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a large-scale killing weapon, and it did not have a deterrent force that could ensure that it would die with its enemies. Therefore, in the original history, once the internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty were stimulated under the pressure of external contradictions, it would eventually lead to the country's subjugation. And after the country's subjugation, the internal

The conflict remained unresolved, so external enemies took the opportunity to eat its last remains.

This is why the initial direction of highly pragmatic fiscal reform is to lift the maritime embargo and privatize military industry.

There is no big killer weapon. That is a limitation of this era. There is no way to solve it. However, we can first improve our military strength to ensure that external threats are reduced to the lowest level. Under this premise, we can start internal reforms.

However, Gao Pragmatic was still very cautious. He first chose a project that although important did not seem to be too eye-catching, and thus "He Yi Road Shu" was created.

Through the reform of post roads, the Ming Dynasty lost a huge financial burden, not only saving hundreds of thousands of taels of expenses every year, but also allowing the post stations to in turn provide blood for the finance. Although the absolute amount of this feedback was not large, once it entered

After retreating, that's a difference of nearly 700,000 taels, which can at least be said to be a small supplement.

With the opening of the sea, the national treasury is getting richer, and the revenue it brings to the finance has ranged from hundreds of thousands of taels to millions of taels. Now the revenue from customs and land exports has basically reached about 8 million taels per year, which has become the key to the Ming Dynasty.

One of the financial pillars.

The private military industry has not only solved a lot of unnecessary waste of raw materials and redundant personnel expenses, but also made the military equipment look brand new after twenty years, and even continues to improve its advanced nature. In total, it will save at least one million taels a year.

, some war preparation periods can even exceed two million taels.

Coupled with the reform of post roads, just these three "offensive and defensive changes", the Ming Dynasty's finances increased by tens of millions of taels in annual revenue.

After that, Gao's pragmatic status had been stabilized, so as the emperor's needs coincided with his purpose, opening the vassal ban became the next reform project to be promoted.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to his relatives, and the hereditary title system he formulated has made sufficient plans for his descendants. Even for descendants like Liu Bei, who Prince Jing of Zhongshan could not win for many generations, Zhu Yuanzhang also reserved titles and prepared

Receive corresponding salary.

However, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect was that after more than ten generations, his descendants had multiplied to more than hundreds of thousands. When the princes of the Ming Dynasty grew up, they could not stay in the capital and had to be enfeoffed. Every time a vassal was established, the best ones would be taken away.

Fertile farmland has intensified land annexation.

After more than ten generations of this, all the best fields in the country were turned into imperial villages. For example, during the Chongzhen period in original history, one-half of the land in Henan and a quarter of the land in Shanxi were all owned by the clan.

How can the common people live like this? How can the common people afford to pay taxes if they have no way to survive? The most ridiculous thing is that none of the clan’s land is taxed!

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's finances had to distribute a large amount of salary to these clans. Taking the middle period of Jiajing as an example, the annual rice supply to the capital nationwide was 4 million shi, while the amount of rice provided to the descendants of the vassal government was 8.53 million shi, more than double;

The remaining rice and wheat in Shanxi Province is only 1.52 million shi, but the clan Lumi requires 3.12 million shi; the rice and wheat reserves in Henan Province are 843,000 shi, but the clan Lumi requires 1.92 million shi.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Ming Dynasty's finances were largely dragged down by the hundreds of thousands of clans who relied entirely on the support of the state. The "feudal aristocrats" represented by clans and honorary groups

"Although they were weakened at this time, their tax-free privileges were not lost. At the same time, they in turn devoured the Ming Dynasty's finances.

The most embarrassing thing is that due to the impact of the Jingnan Campaign, although the Ming royal family controlled the most land and wealth in the country and ate up most of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue, except for the emperor's own internal funds, the wealth of other royal families could not be used.

In order to support financial and military expenses, the children of the royal family are not allowed to join the army and fight.

But at the same time, a large number of low-level clans were in dire straits due to the financial difficulties of the imperial court, the long-term arrears of their clan salaries, and the ancestral system that did not allow them to do other things. Many of them even had to deliberately violate the regulations in order to

Come and get a chance to go to Fengyang's "IVp prison exclusively for the clan" to eat in prison. This is simply full of ridicule, both positive and negative.

Therefore, Gao pragmatically launched a series of reform measures to open up feudal clans. The measures have been mentioned previously and will not be repeated here. In short, in the end, not only did he get rid of a big burden, but he also "liberated" a large number of low-level clans, allowing them to serve in the imperial court.

Start a new life with partial support.

Although in the first few years, the court spent more money than it saved (Note: Refer to the previous article, it is equivalent to a "clan buyout" system, so it was very expensive at the beginning.), but after a few years the court began to lose money.

It’s much easier, and the annual direct expenditure is reduced by about 1.5 million taels.

Some people may ask, why is there a shortage of 1.5 million taels? Doesn't this compare with the previous expenses of the clan?

There are two reasons: First, during the Wanli Dynasty, the amount of money that had to be spent on the clan in theory was as high as 12.56 million taels per year, but in fact this money could not be spent at all. Therefore, citing the old rules, it would naturally be significantly reduced.

A very small part is emitted, at least one-tenth of the amount is emitted.

Secondly, after the vassal ban is established, it does not mean that all clans will be ignored. At least those princes, princes and their children must continue to be supported, but high pragmatism has limited the upper limit of financial support.

By adding and subtracting the two, the final annual direct expenditure saved is more than 1.5 million taels.

Oh, by the way, here is a brief aside: According to Wei Yuan's "Shengwu Ji", the amount of money spent on royal family salaries in the early Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty was as high as about six million taels, and the royal family of the Tatar Qing Dynasty occupied an area of ​​land - most of which was forcibly occupied -

—The area is also huge.

Scholars in later generations have made special calculations, and the basic conclusion is that the Tatar and Qing clan embezzled as much as 25.08 million taels of national assets every year from the Tongzhi period. Even if only half of it is taken, the Tatar and Qing squeezing was eight times that of the Ming Dynasty. Even between the two dynasties,

There was a difference in the length of their rule. Taking into account the effects of high-yielding crops in the Americas, the Qing Dynasty was actually far more cruel to the people than the Ming Dynasty.

I'm going too far, let's talk about it. Even if Gao Pangshi has made reforms to the above problems, the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty have not been completely solved here, because there is another more difficult target to deal with, and that is the civil servant group. A certain

To a certain extent, the civil servant group and the forces behind it may be called the "ultimate boss" on the road to fiscal reform.

As we all know, although the "emerging bourgeoisie" represented by civil servants and literati cannot be completely legally exempt from tax, they can achieve de facto tax exemption through tax evasion, and can in turn exploit and squeeze the common people by assisting the court in collecting taxes, or

In turn, they helped civilians evade taxes and jeopardize the Ming Dynasty's finances.

If the clan is a cancer of the Ming Dynasty's finances, then today's civil servant group and the interest groups behind it may even be regarded as a cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

Too many vested interests caused a large number of bankruptcies for the common people who originally shouldered most of the tax revenue, and caused an unlimited increase in national financial expenditures. Why did the Ming Dynasty's finances become so difficult in the Chongzhen period in the original history? In addition to the difficulty of returning, Chongzhen himself was a single husband.

Style is also an important reason.

Chongzhen's willful behavior made no force in the ruling class willing to contribute to tax collection. Originally, the emperor's internal funds were managed by eunuchs, and Taicang in the outer court was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. But now the eunuchs are restricted by the emperor, and the outer court is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.

Being killed by the emperor. Then, the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty will naturally be exhausted, and then the Ming Dynasty itself will naturally be exhausted.

Just imagine, after the capital was captured by Li Zicheng, more than 70 million taels of silver were copied. Even if one-tenth of this money could have been used for the court's finances, could the Ming Dynasty be finished so quickly?

The 7 million taels at that time, let alone Hong Chengchou who was still working for the Ming Dynasty in the early days, or Sun Chuanting who eventually died in the battle, even if you gave it to someone like Zuo Liangyu, he would be able to attack Li Zicheng

The fight lasted for quite some time.

Therefore, although there are many reasons for Ming's death, the most fundamental and critical cause of death is one: failure to collect taxes.

However, the problem of not being able to collect taxes is actually not unique to the Ming Dynasty, but is common in human history and human society even if it develops into modern times.

According to the previous article, it can be explained that the root cause of the fiscal bankruptcy of the DPRK was that with the expansion of population and annexation of land in a long-term peaceful environment, the civilians at the bottom went bankrupt in large numbers and were unable to pay taxes. At the same time, the proliferation of the rentier class in the upper class made the country's economy and

The finances were overwhelmed. But not only the Ming Dynasty, almost all the feudal dynasties in China that had ruled for a long time experienced the dilemma of not being able to collect taxes.

The result of the failure to collect taxes in the late Western Han Dynasty was that Wang Mang launched the Wang Mang Reform, which was intended to equalize land rights, emancipate slaves, and issue more currency. The result of the failure to collect taxes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was that a large number of officials were sold and the state power was handed over to substitutes.

The Eastern Han Dynasty eliminated the new warlords of the Yellow Turban Army; as a result of the inability to collect taxes at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the recovery of Chang'an relied on returning mercenaries, and they were allowed to return to plunder Chang'an as a reward. At the same time, the Tang Dynasty began to control the feudal towns in various places.

Separation is powerless.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, just like the Ming Dynasty, they relied on the "military households" who were legally tax-free to suppress the "civilian households" who were not legally tax-free. It was just that the "military households" in the Ming Dynasty were legal and tax-free.

It is the military meritorious group behind Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei, as well as the military heads of various military stations affiliated to their names; the "military households" who are legally tax-free in the Tatar and Qing Dynasties are the Eight Banners Group and Han warlords; as for the gentry in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in name only

The above are "private households" that are not tax exempt.

Yongzheng's "gentlemen paying grain as one body" was established on the premise of the support of the Eight Banners military group. This is essentially the same as the Wanli Emperor in the original history who relied on eunuchs and royal guards to collect commercial taxes and mineral taxes from the gentry. Behind the eunuchs was the imperial power.

Behind the Jinyiwei is the noble people - the Ming version of the "Eight Banners" group.

And like the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty also decayed later, and the Qing Dynasty also experienced a transition from being able to receive taxes to not being able to collect taxes. Even though Yongzheng killed many people, he finally created the "official

"Gentlemen all pay the grain", but during the Qianlong period, taxes could no longer be collected.

Qianlong gradually destroyed the family fortune left by Yongzheng, and Jiaqing subsidized part of the financial income by copying Heshen's house. However, when Daoguang came to power, the financial difficulties were such that he began to patch the dragon's robe - although this move was symbolic.

, but forcing him to do this kind of performance art itself also illustrates the financial difficulties at that time.

Not only China, but also Western countries that have always represented the so-called "advanced system" in modern times have experienced financial difficulties, and this kind of difficulty is also the direct cause of the Western bourgeois revolution.

Most of the final solutions for Western countries to solve their financial problems were not to force the rich in their own countries to pay more taxes, but to solve their own financial difficulties through foreign military aggression and colonial expansion, and by expanding the objects of exploitation.

Because of this source, future generations will see some "surprising" and "strange things": when the European colonial system collapsed, Europe's military power also declined rapidly.

Before the time of high pragmatism, as the economic development of the United States gradually stagnated, its annual fiscal deficit accounted for 80% of the fiscal deficit of all developed countries, and the debt balance was equivalent to about 100% of the gross domestic product. Charleston of the country

University professor Vandenberg even said: "U.S. finance has embarked on a path of no return."

Corresponding to the financial difficulties, the military power of the United States is also shrinking, and it has begun to withdraw troops from the Middle East and Afghanistan. In other words, the world's first empire, which does not have as long a history as the Ming Dynasty, is already facing financial difficulties and military shrinkage like the Ming Dynasty.

dilemma.

It seems that two hypotheses can be drawn at this time: First, if the United States cannot rely on debt to alleviate its financial problems like the Ming Dynasty, then the "Jiashen National Disaster" may have already broken out;

Secondly, if the Ming Dynasty can borrow money from the whole world like the United States (harvest of financial hegemony), it may be able to survive for a long time!

Compared with ancient China, modern China and Western countries have more national debt as a supplement to tax revenue to alleviate fiscal crises.

Anyone who has studied the laws of fiscal crises will find that fiscal crises are directly related to economic crises: if the economy does not develop well and a large number of "middle class" bankrupts, tax revenue will naturally decrease, and fiscal crises will naturally occur; if the economy develops well,

If the "middle class" increases significantly, tax revenue will naturally increase and fiscal revenue will naturally be abundant.

Therefore, the financial problem of the Ming Dynasty is ultimately that the number of people who can pay taxes and are willing to pay taxes continues to decrease, while the number of people who can avoid taxes and are exempt from tax continues to expand.

Therefore, in order to solve the financial problem, there are actually only two ideas: either make people who are willing to pay taxes become rich, or make rich people become willing to pay taxes. Of course, it is best to approach both ways - I

Want them all!

But having said that, "wanting it all" is very difficult after all. For example, the former, in the final analysis, is to increase the national income, which is extremely difficult in the agricultural era. Because the productivity is here, you can't achieve "maximum material output"

Rich", while the imperialist and feudal countries obviously did not have the social and ideological foundation to carry out comprehensive poverty alleviation projects.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic can only consider the second option, which is to make wealthy people willing to pay taxes.

However, rich people often have power, or can spend relatively little money to achieve power and serve them, thus avoiding losing more money due to paying taxes. At this time, high pragmatism must prepare two methods.

As mentioned just now, the fundamental reason why Yongzheng was able to implement "the gentry receiving grain as one body" was the support of the Eight Banners military group. In the same way, if Gao Pragmatic wanted to successfully promote similar reforms, he must also have the support of the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

Is it just a straw and a gray line, and some things have become traceable? Yes, what did Gao Pragmatic do for so many years of conquering the south and the north and the west and the east?

Is it just to eliminate the hidden dangers on the Ming Dynasty's border? Is it just to build up one's own unparalleled military exploits? No.

What Gao pragmatic wants to gain is his unparalleled prestige in the Ming Dynasty's military system, the great recognition of him from top to bottom by the Ming Dynasty's military system, and even the recognition of him by the actual controllers of the main military forces in the major "military regions"

His personality worship - to the point where whenever he gives instructions that are pragmatic and pragmatic, they will subconsciously take them as his guidelines and implement them immediately!

In other words, although Gao Pragmatic has no idea of ​​changing the dynasty, he still wants to have the huge reputation that Sima Yi had during the Gao Pingling Incident, so that those who support him dare to support him and those who oppose him at all costs.

You must be careful with your words and actions and don’t dare to express your feelings!

Only with such support can Gao Pragmatic dare to take a clear stand and go to the civil service group and the interest groups behind it to ask for the redistribution of interests, so that they have to transfer some of their interests to the national finance and maintain the government.

The country is functioning well.

After nearly thirty years of planning and nearly twenty years of fighting, Gao Pragmatic finally has such confidence.

In Jiubian, the area where the Ming Dynasty's military power is most concentrated, more than half of the power is directly in the hands of Gao Pragmatic's various old subordinates, and the rest all maintain great respect for him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the capital, in addition to the Jinyiwei and Jingjun who are responsible for the security of the palace but have little actual combat capabilities, the central military guards are directly responsible for "shocking the world".

, the former commander Qi Jiguang and the current commander Ma Gui, which one is not regarded as his highly pragmatic "private"?

Under such conditions, whatever Gao Qingshi wants to do, there is only one person in the world who can stop him, and that is the King of ZTE in the world today - Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun.

But... Zhu Yijun would never stop him, because Zhu Yijun knew very well how difficult the imperial government's finances were back then, and he probably wanted to see the imperial court's finances completely get rid of that predicament more than Gao Pragmatic did.

Collect taxes from wealthy businessmen, collect taxes from the gentry, collect taxes from those civil servants who clamor all day long that they have a clean life but have thousands of acres of fertile land at home... How could Zhu Yijun not want to!

So at this moment, the knife was already in Gao Pragmatic's hand, and it was a sword that had been carefully forged for twenty years. No one would doubt its sharpness.

There is clear evidence for this: Qi Jiguang only led half of the Imperial Guards to move south in the first two years. The army had not yet reached Yangzhou. The unrest in the Jiangnan Cao Army was spread, and no one dared to fight with it!

Although Qi Jiguang has retired and is retiring in Beijing as Ning Haibo, he is still there, and Ma Gui, who succeeded him, is now equally brilliant in battle, and the power of the Imperial Guard remains as strong as ever. Who dares to say a word to the emperor or Gao Pragmatic at this time: "

Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not bad at all!"

No one dares. The time has come.

Of course, like Gao Pangshi's secret instructions to Liu Wei, he also adopted the same attitude on the issue of expanding the scope of taxation: holding a big stick in hand, speaking softly, and trying to avoid using violence, but to strive for as much as possible

A compromise is reached in a tacit understanding.

In this case, some political means should be used, such as differentiation and disintegration.

It is true that the civil servant group and the interest groups behind it are deeply connected, and the relationship between the two parties is intricate, and there is even me among you, and you among me. However, no matter how you say it, since you have a knife in your hand, there must still be gaps in it.

, as long as the operator has the superb skills of a chef cutting a cow, he can still cut it in many places.

For example, the method Gao Pragmatic proposed this time: Let wealthy businessmen, gentry and celebrities spend money to buy this "third-class foreign title" is actually the first step in taxing the civil servant group and the interest groups behind it.

If you want to defeat a tight line of defense, the most difficult thing is often to find the first breakthrough point. But as long as you find this point, it is like finding the right place to cut the knife when cutting the cow.

The texture is stunning.

Gao pragmatism seems to be just for the idea that some rich people are willing to spend money to buy a social status, so that they can legally improve their qualifications. This does not infringe on the interests of other people - except for those who obtained status through the imperial examination.

Civil servant.

However, at the same time, Gao Pragmatic also provided a certain degree of "rebate" to these civil servants, allowing them to obtain good benefits in the process.

So it seems that the three parties of the court, the civil servants, and the wealthy people have achieved a win-win situation to a certain extent. However, in fact, through this incident, the civil servants and the wealthy people—that is, the people who originally stood behind the civil service group—

In the meantime, Gao Pingshi cut him in with a knife.

When the first cut was made, the civil servants and wealthy people could not really feel the power of this knife, let alone realize that this knife was actually a sharp weapon that could threaten their life or death at any time.

When Gao Jingshi's knife is successfully completed and he starts to push forward, they will feel the pain, but at that time they will also find that they are unable to resist. At the same time, the connection between them has also been destroyed.

Gao pragmatically cut most of it open, and the two parties could never return to the close intimacy they had before.

"Since you all have no objections to this, tomorrow the Japanese cabinet will personally communicate with you and formally recommend its implementation to the emperor." Gao Pragmatic smiled gently and said in a contagious and seductive manner: "Once the emperor accepts this policy, not only will it be implemented, but

It will be of great benefit to the government's finances, and it will also be of great benefit to improving the poverty of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. It is a good deed both for public and private purposes. Therefore, I hope you will publicize it widely and strive to do this good deed as soon as possible.

Implement it.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge. This is the best of both worlds. How can I be willing to follow others?"

"The elder is so benevolent and righteous! Although my generation of scholars are poor, but as the elder said, many of my colleagues were extremely difficult after taking office, and they could not even recruit a few staff, which delayed government affairs in vain. Isn't it reasonable? Now we have these 30%

If it is beneficial, it will definitely not cause any trouble. It is indeed a good deed in the world!

I won’t say much else. Later, I will inform my friends in Beijing immediately and let everyone publicize the benefits of this policy. Tomorrow, we will go to Shu together to cheer for Mr. Ge, and we will definitely not miss the important matter of Mr. Ge!

"

"Yes, yes, Zhou Zhenglang (Note: Zhenglang, the common name for a doctor) has said something very good. This move of the pavilion elder is really like the rain of nectar for all officials in the world. Although the lower officials and others are soft-spoken, they are not to be left behind. Tomorrow, I will be attached to the pavilion.

Lao Jiwei, let’s take part in this grand event together!”

“Let’s celebrate together!”

Suddenly, the large meeting hall of the Ministry of Revenue was filled with commotion.

The senior officials in the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Husbandry, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Industry are just paying it forward. They probably don't lack these three melons and two dates, but the doctor, the member's wailang, and the chief officials are all very different. They all cheer and shout.

Shocking.

If it weren't for his high pragmatism and prestige, and no one would dare to act recklessly in front of him, looking at their appearance now, I'm afraid they would all be eager to rush forward and kowtow to him first.
