Chapter 814
Chapter 814
The biological mother was punished. The Grand Prince's eyes at Linglong were increasingly resentful. Looking at that, he almost wanted to take off a layer of skin.
Linglong likes provocation most, and likes to see the incompetence and rage of those who hate her but have no way to take her.
The magnanimity of the great prince really made him an emperor. I'm afraid the Chengguo government will be used by him to work on the land all day. It's not easy for him to collect three or five Dou and pay taxes. The tenants have to pay rent. It's difficult to make a living with the grain dropped every year. His stomach is not full. What do you want to pursue?
Only on the basis that the people have enough to eat and wear warm clothes can there be other room.
This is also the reason why the humble family raises far fewer children than the children of aristocratic families every year. Children of aristocratic families have been taught by famous teachers since they were young, and they are exposed to the top resources. What about farmers? If they can be sent to school to learn two words, they will already be the money saved by the family. The starting line is different. What can they compare with others? The more children of the aristocratic family enter the court, the greater the power of the aristocratic family, which poses a great threat to the consolidation of imperial power.
Once the interests of aristocratic families are touched, those aristocratic families that seem to be incompatible with water and fire will immediately become a rope against imperial power. This is the current situation.
Obviously, there is no such courage today.
In order to show his benevolence and righteousness, Emperor Taizu retained all the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty and granted meritorious officials to each other. Over the past century, the major aristocratic families have been deeply rooted and tied up with each other by marriage. How difficult is it to move them?
It is said that the royal family does not occupy the majority of these lands, and the people do not occupy the majority. It is those aristocratic families that really occupy the majority!
Those who are related to the aristocratic family will always suffer from the bottom people. They have no ability and ability. They have been squeezed for thousands of years, and even have long accepted their fate. As long as they can live and breathe, they can bear it - but is this the future the prince wants? Will the people under his rule live like this?
Although it is not to the point that the road of wine and meat in Zhumen is frozen to death, it is also a fact that the gap between the rich and the poor is very different. The life of the people is getting harder and harder. Why did the previous dynasty overturn? Because of the people's anger.
If we take away all the land and food of the people and don't give them a way to live, the foundation supporting the building will collapse and a dynasty will decline. These have traces to follow. They are accumulated day by day. They are chronic diseases. We need drastic reform and reform without hesitation, and dig out the poisonous sores thoroughly, so there can be a future.
Mingjun should have both courage and will, not verbally.
The prince is obviously very gentle, which can be seen in his relationship with the courtiers. Linglong doesn't deny that he has the potential to become the emperor of Ming Dynasty. However, she can see clearly that the young man is too gentle and has goodwill to everyone. Naturally, this is not a bad thing, but the emperor has to be ruthless to cut through thorns and thorns to get out of the road.
If he is so hesitant to make a choice before Jiangshan and her, he might as well let her be the emperor and keep him for a peaceful and prosperous age.
The prince is the first time to hear Linglong say such heavy words to herself. Her expression is very indifferent and doesn't matter. It seems that what the world becomes has nothing to do with her. She only sympathizes with the world because of her mother and him. In the dark, he has a feeling that if he doesn't seize this opportunity in time, he will regret it all his life!
"I listen to my sister!"
The boy said with a fist.
Linglong laughed and knocked on his head: "listen to me, why don't you let me be the emperor? I'll only help you. You have to think about the rest. "
The prince rubbed his head. Although it hurt so much that he almost burst into tears, he held back and nodded vigorously: "yes!"
The interests of the aristocratic family are bound to be touched, but it is certainly not possible to start directly. The emperor will not agree, and even fear the crown prince. At that time, the gains will outweigh the losses. But Linglong knew the truth of boiling frogs in warm water and came bit by bit. When the frogs reacted, they were dying.
The Emperor... How many more years can he stay on the throne? Linglong said that the Grand Prince's ambition was ready to come out and could not be concealed. Only the old eyed uncle of the emperor thought that the Grand Prince was filial and put it there to show his father's kindness and son's filial piety.
At the beginning, when he was alienated by the emperor, the prince was wronged and sad. He tried to get close to his father. Now he is no longer affected by this fragile emotion, but can calmly judge what he should do under the guidance of Linglong, so as to maintain his current status and estrange his father from the big brother.
Tianjia's father son relationship also needs to be calculated.
To reform the reform, the prince needs both manpower and money. Nowadays, most of the people in the court are people who live a vegetarian diet. The ministers and generals are gentle and peaceful. They seem to be calm. However, they will immediately show a decline when they encounter something.
The only honest and honest courtiers, who refused to join the gang, were excluded. They were either released or marginal people. It would take a long time to gather them and be loyal to the crown prince.
It's the prince's own business whether he can let the minister surrender or not. Linglong doesn't care. If he can't even do such a small thing, he might as well not be the prince and don't dream of an eternal emperor.
To make the people full and want no hunger in the world, in short, we should increase grain production and fundamentally solve the problem.
Only when people have food and clothes can they begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction. Only by improving their material living standards can they carry out the construction of spiritual civilization. To put it bluntly, they are people-oriented and protect the people while the king. Only in this way can the people's aspirations and consolidate the imperial power.
Linglong knocked on the crown prince's noble head and rubbed it again. Like when she was a child, she rubbed the crown prince's hair into a chicken nest, which caused the crown prince to endure and finally couldn't resist a white eye.
Then he laughed, hugged Linglong's arm and put his head on her shoulder: "... In the past few years when my sister was away, the people around me were always changing, but my mother and sister had never changed. As long as my mother and sister were always with me, I was not afraid of anything."
Yes, that's it. Even if the father's love for him has gradually turned into fear, and the closeness between father and son is mixed with exclusion and doubt, it doesn't matter. He knew from a very young age that the people loved by the father and emperor have many brothers and sisters in addition to him, but the mother will only love him.
"It's normal to be afraid. After all, you're just a human cub."
What does fifteen mean to Linglong? When she lay on the huge coral bed in Guixu Dragon Palace, she took a nap longer than this.
As for how to increase grain production, Linglong is only responsible for putting forward theory, not practice. It is impossible for her to do it herself, at least in a hundred years in the world. After she was established as a world woman, she devoted herself to agriculture, which was much less threatening to the courtiers. However, secretly, exquisite people also secretly checked the land conditions under the names of various aristocratic families, which was really unknown and startled.
One third of the land under this day is recorded in the name of the aristocratic family.
For the remaining two-thirds, the royal family occupies another part of the land. In addition to the remaining land, it is also necessary to remove those who have merit and reputation and can be exempted from tax. There is a scholar in a family. Others lean over and hang their land under the scholar's name, so that they can be exempted from tax. The taxes collected every year are taken from the remaining people.
Why can't we win the war with barbarians for so many years since the founding of the country? Is it lack of elite soldiers or good generals?
None of them.
What is lacking is supplies.
What is lacking is food, grass and military pay.
Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, due to the chaos of war and the emptiness of the national treasury, barbarians have repeatedly violated the border, and there are no sufficient military supplies. What do you take to fight people? You can only drive people away, not kill them completely. Linglong arrived at the border. In addition to intimidating the barbarians at the beginning, it also took two years to gradually establish a business market. To put it bluntly, everything needs money, and it's useless without money!
If the crown prince wants to realize the ambition of one emperor through the ages and wants to reform and reform, the first thing to bear the brunt is to have money, otherwise he will be unable to support himself. Don't the emperor understand this truth? His soft ears belong to his soft ears, but which emperor doesn't want to make a career and remain famous in history?
The emperor was just helpless.
The existence of the aristocratic family is like a gangrene attached to the bone. If it is not completely eradicated, another chaotic era will occur sooner or later. Only when an iron and decisive emperor ascends the throne, carries out drastic reform and changes the blood of the court, can it be possible to bring back the dead. Otherwise, if it is dragged down, it may be prosperous for a hundred years, but it will only be a hundred years, and there will be no more.
Every emperor who does not act will be left to the next generation of emperors one irreparable mess after another.
If the prince wants to change the status quo, he can't indulge in love, because he will be very, very, very busy, and Linglong needs to be accompanied all the time.
Especially after a serious illness years ago, the emperor became more and more eccentric with the crown prince and made several confused decisions. Even the queen rarely went there.
After Guan Chi's death, the German imperial concubine and the great prince became weak. It was precisely this weakness that made the emperor feel that they were not threatened. He looked at the young and strong prince who was becoming better and better. He was afraid of death and old age. He remembered that the former emperor died. In addition to sadness, he was more happy and full of hope that he could achieve a period of hegemony, Who knows that only after he ascended the throne did he know something, even as an emperor, there is nothing he can do.
Where's the prince?
Is the prince also looking forward to his father's death?
The German imperial concubine and the great prince fanned the flames on the side again. Therefore, the emperor reprimanded the crown prince several times in public. They all gave no room in front of all officials. The prince was hurt every time. But after all, he loved his father and Emperor for many years, so he endured it. But in the mouth of the German imperial concubine and in the heart of the emperor, he became: is the prince pretending? Do you hate the emperor in your heart?
Once people have doubts, they will shake. This little bud, watered by people with a heart, quickly grows into a towering tree.
One year after Linglong returned to Beijing, the prince provoked the emperor into a rage because of his political discord with the emperor. After being reprimanded by the emperor, he was punished by foot ban. Then, the emperor sent the great prince into the household department for training. For a time, the great prince party was jubilant, and there were few people in the east palace. Even the German imperial concubine in the back palace dared to challenge the queen.
The queen and the prince lost their sacred heart. Many people secretly took refuge in the big prince. The aristocratic family was ready to move and wanted to establish closer ties with the big prince.
The empress was very calm. She had expected the scene in front of her. She could not know what the emperor was. The short-term love was like the morning dew. As soon as the sun came out, it would evaporate into nothing. She recognized the reality since he took the first side imperial concubine.
But what should belong to the prince must not be taken away by others.
In the court, more people support the Grand Prince than the crown prince. The crown prince is not worried about it. After the ban is lifted, he is still diligent every day, as if he is still a father, kind and filial, but everyone can see the surging dark tide under the harmony.
It was not until another year's draft that a group of beauties came into the harem. Naturally, the virtuous queen would not be jealous. The emperor sang every day - as if he were galloping on these young girls, so that he could recover his long lost youth and freshness.
Hearing the news that the emperor was seriously ill, Duke Cheng looked at Linglong and knew that something should be done early.
