The door of Fengtian Temple is closed, but you can vaguely hear the whistling wind outside.

A bit of cold air seeped through the cracks in the door, and the officials standing behind didn't know whether it was because they were cold, or because they felt Zhu Yuanzhang's sneer was scary, and some couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly glanced around the people in the court.

They still don't realize that the squire is the culprit of land annexation.

Relying on these local squires and local officials, big things will happen in the future.

"The method you mentioned can only solve it temporarily. Did you know that this will cause a serious problem?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "That is that local gentry and officials will continue to annex land."

"Guan Zhong of Qi State declined the land system, Lu State's early-mu system, Qin Dynasty's Shang Yang's Reform, Northern Wei's land equalization system, and the two Song Dynasty's land systems were not established and mergers were not suppressed. These step by step have led to very serious problems.

That is land annexation."

The courtiers in the court were stunned for a while. Is Zhu Yuanzhang going to talk about history with them again?

Li Shanchang insisted: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about this problem, you can strictly prohibit the annexation by the squires and leave the matter to local officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and shook his head. It seemed that what he said was too abstract.

We have to use Zhang Feng’s method to speak more vividly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, looked at all the courtiers below, and said: "You can assume a scenario. A hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty has a large population, and the land and population are saturated. In order to squeeze out more benefits, the squires and local officials must work together.

, try every means to oppress the people and annex their land, then it will be difficult for our Ming Dynasty capital to announce even good policies to the people."

Li Shanchang also placed his hope on local officials, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen through them.

If those people had been useful, the world would have been peaceful long ago!

There was silence in the court.

The scene Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned will definitely happen, and it will be the same at the end of all dynasties.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to say slowly: "As the land in the hands of the people is annexed, the land that can be used to pay land tax will become less and less, or even less than half. The missing part of land tax will be added to the list of no rights and no rights."

On the powerful farmers."

"And what will happen to those powerless farmers who cannot pay the land tax or rent, so they have to sell their land, and then Ming Dynasty will add the missing part to those farmers who have not sold their land."

"This goes on and on, and the cycle repeats, and in the end, it is our country, the Ming Dynasty, that is harmed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind outside also stopped.

Li Shanchang is like a clay or wood sculpture, unable to breathe even for a while.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di shouted in their hearts: Good fellow, my father is possessed by Zhang Tianshi!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to rely on the smell of alcohol, his eyes were as murderous.

Xu Da raised his eyelids at Tang He, as if to say, you see, His Majesty was like this last time.

Tang He was overjoyed when he saw Li Shanchang and others dumbfounded. He stood up with his general belly straightened out and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty is right, I second your opinion!"

"The same goes for me!" Xu Da didn't want to fall behind.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to his two old brothers.

With the support of Wei Guogong and Xin Guogong, others will not dare to oppose.

Tang He and Xu Da mainly wanted to support Zhu Yuanzhang, especially the eloquent Li Shanchang, who was speechless. This was very pleasing to the people, no matter what his policies were.

Li Shanchang knew that by lowering land taxes, the unreasonable land policy would inevitably be implemented. He could not stop it. As for the lack of revenue from the treasury in the future, he had to think of another way.

"What your Majesty said is true. The land tax should be reduced without any problems. I second my opinion." Li Shanchang finally stood up and expressed his position.

The three current princes all expressed their opinions, and other officials did not dare to do anything and came out to express their agreement.

Guo Heng also came out to express his agreement, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart, especially for Guo Yundao, who became the minister and did not say a word. It was just a decoration and he would definitely not achieve anything.

This morning is coming to an end.

The sky also started to get slightly brighter.

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly said: “It’s snowing!”

Many ministers in the court turned around one after another.

Through the window paper, you can vaguely see the snowflakes outside.

The first snow in Beijing this winter fell so deeply and so seriously.

The goose-feather heavy snow falls from the sky, hitting the tiles and window lattice...

Zhu Yuanzhang walked down and said to everyone: "This is the first heavy snowfall in the capital this year. Come out with us to have a look."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so elegant, all the officials in the court also followed Zhu Yuanzhang out.

The door of Fengtian Temple opened, and a cold wind rushed in. The outside was already dotted with white spots, and within a short time, it was completely white.

"What a heavy snow!" Xu Da followed Zhu Yuanzhang. The first snow this year was so heavy.

Tang He also came over and said: "It's so big!"

A certain minister followed up with another sentence: "...as big as a mat!"

The courtiers sighed without nourishment for a while, and then someone said: "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty, the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and there will be a good harvest next year!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"..."

After listening to a burst of rainbow fart shooting, Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips, straightened his right foot, and slightly stretched out his left foot. He looked up at the flying snow in the sky, and the surroundings began to quiet down.

"The scenery of the North is covered in thousands of miles of ice and thousands of miles of snow." Zhu Yuanzhang recited, with a thick voice that reached the ears of all the ministers.

Quiet.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang’s back with strange eyes.

The two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di secretly glanced at each other. Only the two of them knew that this was the fourth poem written by Zhang Feng in prison.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to recite: "Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness, and the river up and down suddenly stops flowing."

Xu Da and Tang He opened their mouths wide, especially when they heard the word "taotao", they felt like they were overlooking the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and their hearts were filled with tears!

"On a sunny day, seeing the red makeup and plain clothes, it is extremely enchanting." Zhu Yuanzhang paused and chanted: "The country is so beautiful that countless heroes have bowed down."

All the ministers in the court widened their eyes. Only a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang could say this sentence: "The country is so beautiful."

Li Shanchang was right behind Zhu Yuanzhang, listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's voice and looking at his back, this was the emperor, the king's words!

"I cherish the Qin King and the Han Dynasty, who are slightly less talented in literature; the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty ancestors are slightly less charming." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly rose, "The genius of the generation, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend a bow and shoot big eagles."

Boom!

It was like going through the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties in the minds of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I saw Zhu Yuanzhang despising various emperors, and especially mocking Genghis Khan for being a crook who could only bend a bow to shoot at a giant eagle.

One by one, they stood in front of Fengtian Hall, dumbfounded, with thousands of horses galloping in their hearts. They were shocked beyond words.
