Chapter 318: Reduce taxes and return land to the people! Collect national destiny!
The next day.
The huge body of the Fire Kirin flew into the air again.
Zhu Houzhao, Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Da Siming and others rushed towards the Forbidden City.
Xunzi, Tianyazi, Li Qiushui and others also accompanied them.
What's happening at the Hangzhou Palace.
Zhu Houzhao naturally did not need to make any special arrangements.
The follow-up was handled by Yan Song, the de facto governor-general of Jiangnan.
There is nothing going on here in Jiangnan.
What's more, Han Shengxuan and Zheng Gong will return in a few days.
There is no foolish person in the Ming Dynasty who would cause trouble at this time.
.....
In the Forbidden City.
After Zhu Houzhao personally led the expedition to the Song Dynasty.
I haven't been in the Forbidden City for half a month.
But Wang Yangming was the chief minister of the cabinet.
There is also the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei in charge of Longhu Mountain.
Naturally, nothing major happened in the Forbidden City.
And accompanied by the return of Wang Yangming.
The Ming Dynasty's reform was completely on the right track.
All unqualified officials were dismissed or suspended.
Today's officials are all very cautious and diligent.
The powerful and the noble families have long lost their presence.
Or it could have been as early as the moment when the six tribes in Nanjing were destroyed.
There are only a few top dignitaries and aristocratic families left in the Ming Dynasty.
Especially after Yang Heting, the former prime minister of the cabinet, went to Jiangnan.
The people in Jiangnan also obediently handed over their assets one by one.
It can be said that Wang Yangming's ten reform strategies have achieved initial success.
All that remains is how to maintain this benevolent rule.
Or how to make the Ming Dynasty more prosperous.
It just takes time.
But in any case, after the news of the fall of the Song Dynasty came.
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew it.
The future will be extremely prosperous!!!
...
At sunset.
The Imperial Cabinet of the Forbidden City.
Wang Yangming is handling government affairs one by one.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
I saw a red cloud spreading rapidly over there: "Your Majesty has returned?"
Government affairs processing during this period.
Wang Yangming was naturally familiar with the process.
But Zhu Houzhao was not there.
A lot of things are piled up.
Wang Yangming naturally hopes that Your Majesty will return as soon as possible.
Seeing this now, he smiled and said, "Follow me to welcome His Majesty."
The moment the words fell.
Several important cabinet ministers around him stood up.
These important cabinet ministers are all old ministers from the past.
But for Zhu Houzhao.
Only Li Dongyang looks familiar.
The rest of the people were not familiar to anyone.
This is also the incompetence of His Majesty Zhu Houzhao.
When he ascended the throne.
He also attended some court meetings.
But in the days that followed, he was too lazy to even attend court meetings.
All matters were handed over to Li Dongyang, Yang Heting, Han Shengxuan and others to handle.
Now, all of them have been handed over to Wang Yangming.
However, this behavior cannot be regarded as that of a tyrant.
Because in this martial arts world.
For the emperor.
But there is no need to work diligently.
On the contrary, what everyone needs is an emperor who can shock the world.
Even if Zhu Houzhao did not attend court for several years.
As long as he is alive.
There will definitely be no problems in the Ming Dynasty.
Roar! ! !
When the roar of the Fire Kirin sounded.
The imperial chariot appeared in front of Wang Yangming and others.
Then Zhu Houzhao was seen slowly walking down from the imperial chariot.
On his side.
They are Yan Fei, Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Da Siming, Xun Zi, Tianyazi and others.
Surrounded by women.
Land accompaniment.
Imperial majesty.
This scene also made all the important officials in the cabinet look solemn.
Li Dongyang also looked solemnly at Zhu Houzhao who was walking slowly in front of him.
Let’s talk about the early years.
Li Dongyang actually has some selfish motives.
It's just that your Majesty is rising step by step.
Li Dongyang also completely surrendered to Your Majesty.
And now this decision is also Li Dongyang’s wisest decision.
Wang Yangming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Yangming, who was radiant in front of him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Government affairs of the court.
Reform and change.
All matters.
All the pressure was on Wang Yangming alone.
This is of course a very hard task.
Especially a selfless saint like Wang Yangming.
When doing things, he does it himself and pays attention to every detail.
This resulted in Wang Yangming having almost no time to rest every day.
Now he looks radiant.
But that is only because what I do is in line with my own wishes.
Coupled with the cultivation level of the immortals on land, he naturally looked very good.
If they were old cabinet ministers like Li Dongyang and Yang Heting.
I'm afraid he has already been overworked and is lying in bed.
Wang Yangming smiled and said, "Why is it so hard?"
"If you say it's hard work."
"How could it be as tiring as Your Majesty leading the army in person?!"
Such words are almost flattering.
It sounded very comfortable when Wang Yangming said it.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I never thought that you, Wang Yangming, would flatter me now."
Wang Yangming also laughed immediately.
He knew that His Majesty was just joking.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the important officials behind Wang Yangming.
He just nodded slightly at Li Dongyang: "Let's go."
These cabinet ministers were not important to him.
In the final analysis, he is just a tool to manage the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to manage these government affairs.
What he cares more about is improving his own strength.
.....
In the side hall.
Zhu Houzhao sat upright on the dragon throne.
He quietly listened to Wang Yangming's report on recent government affairs: "The reform has achieved initial success."
"The next step is to consider reducing taxes and returning farmland to the people."
Although Zhu Houzhao ignored the specific government affairs.
But he still needs to decide the general direction.
Or rather, he was the only one who nodded.
Wang Yangming was then able to carry it out.
Wang Yangming was slightly startled: "Reduce taxes and return the land to the people."
"Isn't this a bit hasty?"
After dealing with the powerful and aristocratic families within the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, we must start to improve our national strength.
And want to do this.
Reducing taxes and returning land to the people is something that must happen.
But now the countries in Kyushu continent are conquering each other.
This is a task that consumes a lot of energy and manpower.
If you start now.
I'm afraid it will delay a lot of things.
Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "I need to improve the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."
The biggest factor affecting a country’s destiny is its people’s destiny.
What is human destiny?
It means that the people are prosperous and their hearts are devoted to the Ming Dynasty.
This can also be understood as the power of incense in Buddhism and the power of merit in Taoism.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to build a prosperous dynasty.
Of course, it is necessary to quickly improve the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, there would not be enough national fortune to spread among the officials.
Wang Yangming's eyes were filled with doubt: "The fate of the Ming Dynasty?!"
Zhu Houzhao briefly talked about the Fangtian Jade Seal and the myriad worlds.
It also clarified the previous speculations - the actions of the Qin Dynasty and the changes in the world.
At the same time, it was also said that the Ming Dynasty would be changed to Yun Dynasty in the near future!
Wang Yangming was slightly stunned.
However, he had never imagined that His Majesty would return this time to do such a big thing.
Before Wang Yangming could speak.
Then I saw a presence approaching rapidly from a distance.
A voice suddenly rang out from outside the palace: "The Heavenly Master wants to see you."
