Chapter 392 Kill the old conservative party!
"Re-measure the number of ultimatums, and all monks who do not have ultimatums must return to the vulgar and return home!"
"And keep those who pretend to be monks and Taoists who don't have a certificate, and all temples and Taoist temples that defraud the people of incense money will be punished!"
"Now the rich and powerful bureaucrats have almost released all the slaves, and it is time for the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to release some of the people under their control!"
Since Zhang Gui has no intention of continuing to be a feudal landlord, he will naturally not let others continue to be feudal landlords.
Even if you are a feudal landlord under the guise of Buddhism and Taoism.
What's more, before Zhang Gui returned to Beijing, when he went to the south to suppress the rebellion, he also saw how monks and Taoists resisted the reform and new policies.
This made Zhang Gui determined for a long time to make suggestions to rectify Buddhist temples and Taoist temples after returning to Beijing.
Because Zhang Gui wants more Han people to become free citizens, and then participate in labor, to provide labor resources and consumption for him as a capitalist in the future.
Tianqi is the largest landlord in Ming Dynasty and also the biggest boss of various government-run industries. He also doesn’t want a large number of people who could bring him taxes to become monks who don’t do production, so he said:
"If you want to rectify it, you can rectify it. I am too lazy to care about it. Just don't disturb me to study new equipment!"
"yes!"
Tianqi really likes to be a scientific researcher, just like Li Yu likes to write lyrics, Song Huizong likes to draw, and Emperor Jiajing likes to make alchemy, even more obsessed.
Of course, he has not yet reached the point of abolishing the government;
The second is to deliberately pretend that they only love to study skills and don’t like to interfere with the government’s decentralization posture. It is also to support the reform and reform and protect themselves, so that the conservatives can focus their main contradictions on reformist ministers such as Zhang Gui and Han Yu.
That’s why Tian Qi said that it’s fine not to bother him to do research.
"Destroying the Buddha, thus releasing more people and increasing money, food and taxes for the court, is naturally the right thing to do. But what if it causes chaos?"
"Many people are deeply influenced by Buddhism, especially some cults also use the name of Buddhism or Taoism to teach people online, and have formed their own forces, and use this to manipulate water transportation and salt sales."
"Isn't Rao Xichang, who is in charge of tax collection, also need to use many civil forces to investigate taxes, and how many of these civil forces are not related to Buddhism?"
And after Zhang Guiyu told the policy ministers about his thoughts, Yuan Keli raised his concerns again, and said: "So, I am worried that once the rectification starts, I am afraid that it will affect the lotus and drive the lotus root." , causing the people to change."
Zhang Gui smiled slightly, and asked: "Is Otsuka afraid of civil uprising, or does he think that reforms should stop here, leaving a pure land for the scholar-bureaucrats who are unwilling to accept the New Deal, and giving them a chance to make a comeback?"
Yuan Keli seemed to be caught in the heart by Zhang Gui's question, and his expression became unnatural for a moment, and he said: "I didn't mean that, but I don't know whether I should do it or not. Uncle Guo said such a reason now, but I don't think it's enough. .”
"How much is enough?"
Zhang Gui asked.
Yuan Keli said: "At least until the time of urgency."
"In times of urgency, there is indeed more motivation for rectification and restructuring. For example, before the recovery of Xianzhou, the establishment of the Yisi Company to sell the shares of Maoshan Iron Mine, everyone agreed very smoothly, because the iron ore of Maoshan Iron Mine is urgently needed to save the industrial company. Iron ore shortage. And now, there is no such sense of urgency.”
Chen Zizhuang also said something at this time.
"The strong wind starts at the end of Qingping. Those in power should have long-term measurements."
"Now there is no urgent need to let more Han people come out of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to contribute to the cause of Ming's ZTE, but when it is really needed, it will be too late!"
"A one-year plan is better than planting valleys; a ten-year plan is better than trees; a lifelong plan is better than tree people. In the future, we must maintain the entire industry to have a steady stream of wealth, and let Daming have a new big like Maoshan Iron Mine. With the emergence of minerals, more people must first rely on industry and mining for profit, and rely on the New Deal for profit, which in turn creates an urgent need for industrial development and foreign mining!"
"Otherwise, the Department of Industry will be abolished sooner or later, Xishan will still change from an industrial base with a large number of workshops to a large farming manor, and the New Deal will still be abolished, and everything will still return to men farming and women weaving. The society of the old system of ministers."
As Zhang Gui said, he looked at Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and the others: "At that time, the reputation of the princes will still be similar to that of Wang Shuwang, or even worse than Wang Shuwang! In addition, as for the property of the princes' family, it will naturally be changed again. Dividends from the Industrial Division and the Maoshan Iron Mine have turned into land rents for eating food for the common people."
After saying this, Zhang Gui asked: "Do you feel the urgency now?"
Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and others looked at each other.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian got up first and said: "At least our family already feels very urgent!"
"Before our family entered the palace, we were just ordinary people. The sufferings of the common people have always been the sufferings of our family. Naturally, our family can feel how difficult and miserable life will be for those ordinary people controlled by Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. They bewitched to become rebels, and ended up being hacked by the court as rebels, how can our family endure the persecution of the common people by monks and Taoists all over the world?"
Chen Zizhuang gave Wei Zhongxian a contemptuous look, and felt that Wei Zhongxian was very shameless!
He would not believe that Wei Zhongxian really cared about the people. Obviously, it was just because he heard Uncle Zhang Guo said that if the forces who want to restore the old system are not killed, they may lose the interests of the Ministry of Industry and even Maoshan. The interests of iron ore, even after the words of not being able to continue to open up new channels of interests, but deliberately said so.
But contempt is contempt, Chen Zizhuang has to admit that after what his uncle Zhang Gui said, he also felt a sense of unease and urgency, and he was really afraid that if he didn't take the opportunity of destroying Buddha to wipe out the old party, his Chen family could no longer Not to mention maintaining such wealth, I will really have a bad reputation and be discredited forever.
"Dividends and other things come second. The interests of the people are the most important thing that a scholar should care about. Uncle Guo said so, how can I not support it because of the people in the world?"
So, one second, Chen Zizhuang was despising Wei Zhongxian for his hypocritical and shameless words, and the next second he couldn't help but say something high-sounding.
Rao, after he finished speaking, he quickly realized that what he said was obviously hypocritical, but he really didn't want to admit that he was really afraid that his Chen family's dividends would really disappear in the future, and his reputation would really disappear in the future. If you want to smell bad, you can only follow your uncle to the dark.
It's just that Chen Zizhuang noticed Yuan Keli's eyes looking at him, and he lowered his head guiltily for a moment, thinking: "I was despised by Yuan Gong, hey!"
"The reason is enough now, how can an official not make decisions for the people?!"
Suddenly, Yuan Keli followed suit, and Chen Zizhuang breathed a sigh of relief, with a sense of relaxation that "so everyone is no longer so simple".
