I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The bad things about the big landowners are just the beginning.

Wu Changqing let them have a good life for two years, which is already very tolerant.

You know, a big reason for the chaos in the world is land annexation.

Of those big landlords, nine out of ten are bad guys.

Of course, there are many bad guys among the common people, but the power of the common people is small, and bad people can't affect the fundamentals of the country.

But these big landlords have a lot of energy, they are bad guys, then the country will be in trouble.

This year, Wu Changqing is preparing to carry out land reform to completely eliminate the class of big landlords.

And Wu Changqing could not accurately predict the possible impact and turmoil.

However, this is something that must be done.

Otherwise, when a new round of land mergers begins in the future, countless people will not be able to survive, and then repeat the mistakes of history.

This kind of influence is very important. If it wants to hurt the fundamental things of the big landlord class, Wu Changqing can't just follow a decree like the implementation of the standard currency law, and must be treated with caution.

Otherwise, the resistance will be incalculable.

First, he needs the support of his ministers, at least the majority of them.

If the ministers are collectively opposed, he can't send the army to the countryside and let the army complete the land reform, then it will be really messed up.

The land reform still needs the specific implementation of the courtiers. Wu Changqing could not go down to the countryside to experience it himself.

He must get the support of the minister, and he cannot force an order or force the minister to execute it with a knife. In that case, the cooperative relationship between them will be broken in an instant.

Next, there will definitely be chaos in the world.

Those officials and the local landlord class might pull someone out from some corner, saying that he is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and then slogan against China and Fuming.

Or, simply point to Zhu Youlang, who directly declares allegiance to Kunming, and welcomes Master Wang to Jiangnan.

If such a thing happened, Zhu Youlang from Nanming and Dorgon from Guanwai would be able to wake up laughing from their dreams.

The support of ministers is the premise of this reform.

On January 16, just after the Lantern Festival, Wu Changqing announced that he would go to the court the next day to hold court discussions on major national matters.

Dahua's court meeting is rarely held. Once the court meeting is needed, everyone knows that something important must happen.

Almost every official is pondering and guessing what the reason is.

If you can guess, prepare well in advance, and perform well in the court, it is more important than doing more practical things.

The emperor has a lot of time to manage, and it is difficult for the emperor to notice no matter how many practical things the people below do.

But if you have a dazzling performance in the court meeting, you will be able to impress the emperor directly, and it will be easier to be promoted in the future.

But what is your Majesty going to discuss?

Many people scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks and fell into headaches.

Some people don't need such a headache, because they got Wu Changqing's instructions in advance, asking them to say something tomorrow.

Wu Changqing wants to carry out land reform, but of course he can't shout it out himself: "I think you bastard landlords are very upset. I will confiscate your wealth and redistribute it."

If I really want to say this, the following will either rebel directly, or they will hate Wu Changqing from now on.

A relatively better way is to let your confidant ask the question first, and then let the proposer and the opponent have a heated debate.

If Wu Changqing wanted to express his support, he had to win the argument.

If they can't win the argument, the land reform plan may have to be postponed.

In short, Wu Changqing can't show too obvious partiality, he needs to play the role of a fair referee, and is not suitable for going off the court in person as a player.

As long as he does not end up in person, when reforms are carried out in the future, the first person that the big landlords will hate will be the guy or group who proposed the land reform first.

Of course, smart people may understand that this is a trick made by the emperor, but as long as it is not exposed, there will be a buffer zone for conflicts.

Even if it is a rebellion, they can also use a slogan on the side of the Qingjun and not completely tear the face of the emperor.

After killing the capital in the future, the emperor can also kill those reformers to quell the incident, leaving room for relaxation for both parties.

If you completely tear your face, it will be a life-and-death state, and the risk is too great.

Neither Wu Changqing nor the landlord class wanted to make trouble like this all at once.

Wu Changqing controls the army and has absolute force, but when he is in power, he will not use force at every turn.

Too much force is used, and it is not good for the army to have too much power.

Civilians are corrupt, and military generals are no exception. They are all made of meat.

Therefore, it is still necessary to use some political skills.

Seventeenth, early.

A large number of officials got up early, ate dinner, and waited in front of the palace gate.

Although now everyone has a watch, they can know the precise time at any time without being late.

However, there is no need to spend time at home.

If there is an accident and you are late and lose your office, I am afraid it will become the laughing stock of the world.

Ten years of hard work, don't you cherish it like this?

Therefore, all the officials arrive early, and none of them will be greedy for a little more sleep.

While waiting in front of the palace gate, everyone also communicated with each other, guessing what was going to be discussed later.

"Master Gu, have you received any hints, do you know what to discuss?"

Liu Shijin asked.

"How do I know, if you want to know, I'm afraid you have to ask Lord Wei"

Gu Yanwu said.

"Wei Langzhong?"

Liu Shijin knew that although Wei Ziwen's official position was not high, he belonged to the emperor's party and had a good personal relationship with the emperor. Sometimes he was better informed.

"Um."

Gu Yanwu hummed.

In the end, Liu Shijin still did not have the past, and there was no need for this.

Some people went to ask Wei Ziwen, but Wei Ziwen pretended not to know anything and didn't reveal the slightest bit.

As the time reached seven o'clock, the palace gate opened on time.

"Everyone, let's bake the fire first, and drink some warm soup. There are various flavors of spicy, sour and sweet."

Feng Debao said.

In terms of material enjoyment, Wu Changqing has never treated these people badly.

The weather in January was still very cold, so Wu Changqing specially ordered the Jingshi Room to prepare some welfare.

"Your Majesty is still sympathetic to us."

Liu Shijin roasted his hands and took another sip of warm wine.

Naturally, other officials enjoyed it. In terms of enjoyment, they could clearly feel that it was much better than the Ming Dynasty.

Even the number of kneeling is much less. If Wu Changqing is willing to delegate more power, then everything will be perfect.

After simply warming up their hands, everyone entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
