Ming Dynasty: The opening spoiler: Chongzhen is the king who lost his country

Yun Zheng talked endlessly for more than an hour, and his mouth was dry.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Quickly make Mr. Yun a cup of my favorite fishhook tea." "

Taking advantage of this, Yun Zheng asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty thinks of what I said?"

Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Pieces and piles, it sounds incredible, but it is reasonable to think about it." I grew up in the deep palace, and what I usually see, hear, and think does not exceed this range. My teachers also explained to me the books of ancient sages. Sir, you know the future trend of the country, and you also know the road to a strong country in the future. "

After speaking, Chongzhen made a gesture to Yun Zheng.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen has always been very studious, but most of the people who taught him were Donglin Party members, and they all picked up some teachings such as respecting teachers and valuing Confucianism.

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty can listen to what I have to say, it is already commendable! I naturally do not hesitate to say more. "

After speaking, he bowed his head slightly and groaned for a while, then raised his head and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "What does Your Majesty think of the grass people?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was slightly stunned: "My people, of course I love and cherish them;".

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am a very practical person, so I don't want to pick up nice words for you, just say whatever you have in your heart, please don't be surprised." "

Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'm very happy." "

With these words, Yun Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, your cognition of the grass people, that is, the common people, has not yet reached a sufficient height. As the saying goes, the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat. "

Yun Zheng saw that Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully, so he continued to explain: "The biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty is that it is difficult to unite the grass people, and even the grass people, who account for the majority of the population of the Ming Dynasty, are being forced into a desperate situation step by step! This is the biggest contradiction in the Ming Dynasty!"

"The biggest contradiction ...... the Ming Dynasty," Chongzhen muttered, thoughtful.

Yun Zheng: "That's right, all the problems of the Ming Dynasty revolve around this main contradiction! And the Ming Dynasty also died in the hands of the grass people in the end!"

At present, the Ming Dynasty can actually be divided into three groups: grass people, scholars, and clans and nobles represented by the emperor. These three groups, it seems that someone has said that scholars and doctors rule the world together with the Son of Heaven. The interests of the scholars and the Son of Heaven were relatively close, and they were opposed to the grass people. In the best case, the interests of the grass people, the scholars, and the Son of Heaven compromise with each other and reach an agreement, and this is the time when the country is strong. The general situation is that the interests of the scholars and the Son of Heaven compromise with each other, and conflict with the interests of the grass people. And the worst time is when the interests of the grass people, scholars, and emperors are in violent conflict with each other, and it is often the time when the world is in turmoil and the dynasty is changed. "

At this time, when the tea came, Yun Zheng didn't care whether it was hot or not, he first moistened his throat, and then continued: "On the surface, the grass people's strength is the weakest, because the grass people's group is too big to coordinate to speak with one voice. But under certain conditions, it will be in harmony, and when a voice speaks, it will burst out with its powerful power. This specific condition is that when the grass people really can't survive, they will start to burst out with a voice, begging for survival. "

When Yun Zheng said this, he began to accentuate his tone: "If you don't deal with it properly, don't cut off this formation condition, but just blindly kill, and one day, the inexhaustible grass people will form an overwhelming force and overthrow everything." Zhu Yuan...... Ah, no, the Taizu of this dynasty is the strongest representative of this kind of power ever. Now in this period, it has slowly reached a period of violent conflict between the grass people, the scholars, and the Son of Heaven. "

Speaking of this, Yun Zheng stopped, stopped talking, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen had been pondering and did not speak.

Wang Chengen on the side couldn't help it, and asked, "How can you see it?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Look, I analyzed it like this. The interests of the grass people are just to survive, which is very simple. As for the interests of scholars, seeking wealth, thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth. Where does the wealth come from, it comes from the other two groups, that is, the grass people and the Son of Heaven. The grass people are squeezed, I don't need to explain this. So to the Son of Heaven to seek wealth, how to say this, the Son of Heaven is the country, originally the Son of Heaven wanted to maintain such a large family, asking for money is to collect taxes, but also from the grass people, but the scholar at this time intervened, the tax that should be collected by the Son of Heaven was intercepted, the more and more intercepted, in the end, the conflict with the Son of Heaven was inevitable. "

Wang Chengen interrupted: "Impossible!".

"Impossible, then let me ask you, since the establishment of this dynasty, the country has been established for nearly three hundred years, the population has become more and more, and the land south of the Yangtze River is even richer, but has the state treasury collected more and more taxes, and is there a proportion proportional to the economy? Even if there are more and more places where money is used, are there more and more taxes other than land endowments?"

Yun Zheng asked Wang Chengen continuously.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: What I lack is silver!

Wang Chengen swept Emperor Chongzhen with his eyes on the side, and then said, "Sir, how can you solve it?"

Yun Zheng turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I have a solution, but I need Your Majesty's courage to implement it. "

Emperor Chongzhen looked a little excited, young man, only nineteen years old, from hearing that he was going to become the king of the dead country, to being able to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and prosper the Ming Dynasty, how could he not be excited.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Okay, no matter how difficult it is, I am determined to reform it." "

Although Yun Zheng didn't want to spoil the fun, he still reminded: "Your Majesty, many ancestral systems are out of date, and they may have to be violated?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times!".

After a pause, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Yun Zheng, I have named you as..."

stopped again, Yun Zheng not only has no fame, but his origin is also unknown, and he can't tell clearly.

If he is given any official title, those ministers will not be allowed to make a fuss, thinking of this, Chongzhen can't help but be very depressed.

As soon as Yun Zheng saw Emperor Chongzhen's posture, he immediately understood, and he was not willing to come out, so it was more appropriate to plan behind the scenes.

Yun Zheng took the initiative to speak and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be an official, I'll give you an idea as a staff member, and you will implement it after you weigh it." "

Emperor Chongzhen was in a dilemma about how to seal Yun Zheng, and when he heard him say this, he thought about it for a while, and had to say: "Okay, but if you do things for me, I must reward you." "

In the end, I thought: If you don't want to be an official, what do you want to do?

So, Chongzhen asked again: "You help me, and you don't want an official, what will I reward you?"

When Yun Zheng heard this, he smiled incomprehensibly and said: "Merit! Helping Your Majesty to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty is a merit, and with this merit, maybe I will be able to go back!

Yun Zheng was blind, and secretly added in his heart: Since I have crossed, I must make my dignified China let the four sides come to congratulate! Well, I must not let my children and grandchildren learn Nalaoshzi English again, hehe, let the whole world come to learn the headache of Chinese in the future.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he suddenly realized in his heart: I see, I don't want fame and fortune, and the heavenly people are really people who have detached themselves from low-level interests!
