Comprehensive martial arts Ming Dynasty: Summon Li Hanyi at the beginning

Many times, Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to ask the sky, why does Ming Dynasty have so many talents?

Not to mention the talents of Zhang Juzheng, they are all very outstanding people!

If it weren't for people like Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Houzhao's reform efforts, the entire Ming Dynasty would have been in chaos.

Of course, this chaos does not mean military chaos!

Military chaos arose. In fact, the Ming Dynasty has always been in chaos. After all, Zhu Houzhao killed so many people in the past few years. How can the Ming Dynasty be said to be peaceful?

What we are talking about here is not chaos, but chaos in government affairs. At least until now, the Ming Dynasty has not continued to reform, and problems have arisen in government orders. Zhang Juzheng and others have demonstrated their ability in reform and overall management. Many people Unimaginable.

In Zhao Kuangyin's view, this is one of the main reasons why Zhu Houzhao was able to carry out unscrupulous reforms. If there were only the army, even if Zhu Houzhao could suppress the reforms, the Ming Dynasty would be in a mess. You must know that Zhu Houzhao offended the vast majority of officials and gentry. Landowning class.

As a result, Zhu Houzhao was still able to do this, and Zhao Kuangyin also felt envious and jealous for a while.

At the same time, he also envied the army in Zhu Houzhao's hands. Why could Zhu Houzhao have so many excellent troops?

There is a saying, in fact, throughout the Song Dynasty, there was always a lot of money spent on the army.

Just like in the original history, the Southern Song Dynasty was not so much destroyed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty as it was death and inflation.

After all, at that time, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty was very developed, and they would also give soldiers a lot of money. Especially when the Southern Song Dynasty implemented a recruitment system, soldiers needed a lot of money, especially when they went to war with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this military expenditure was even more An astronomical figure.

No matter how rich the Southern Song Dynasty was, it would collapse after decades of continuous war.

This is not because the Southern Song Dynasty was not good, but because the Meng Yuan Dynasty was too powerful!

The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty had so much territory and a large population. They plundered resources all over the world. It was really not easy for the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty with the power of a country.

Of course, there are also some problems with the official, gentry and landlord class themselves.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao himself was dissatisfied with the official, gentry and landlord class. If these guys met him, they would definitely die.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao couldn't let them go.

They are resisting Zhu Houzhao at this time. Zhu Houzhao is actually understandable, but understanding is understanding, and killing is still necessary.

Zhao Kuangyin expressed his envy. He spent so much money on the army every year, but the combat power of the Song Dynasty was vastly different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

This difference is too big, right?

It is obvious that the Song Dynasty invested the most in military expenditures in the entire Shenwu Continent!

However, the Song Dynasty was far inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of military strength. This was a bit screwed up. All the money was spent, but the military strength of the army did not improve. This was something that made the rulers feel depressed.

However, they must do this. If they don't give so much money and no one from the army comes, can Zhao Kuangyin himself directly force the recruitment?

If he really does this, then the army within the Song Dynasty will also be in chaos. The status of the Song Dynasty itself to the soldiers is not much higher. If they don’t even have the money, they can still hope that they can help the Song Dynasty. Did Song go through life and death?

They no longer have money to protect the Song Dynasty!

Zhu Houzhao did not mind engaging in a war of attrition with the Song Dynasty. In fact, according to the normal order, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to occupy the Southern Song Dynasty and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty with minimal losses, a war of attrition was the best choice.

After all, how could there be anyone in this world who was more suitable for fighting a war of attrition than Ming Dynasty?

You know, nearly 50% of the land in the Ming Dynasty now belongs to Zhu Houzhao's imperial estate.

Although the tax collected by Zhu Houzhao is not high, don't forget that there are no middlemen to collect money!!

The biggest blood-sucking insect that really attached itself to the Ming Dynasty was not the royal family, but the officials, gentry and landlords. There were so few officials, gentry and landlords in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there was no need to worry about being sucked blood. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Officials, gentry and landlords, what do you want with so much land?

Grow it yourself?

Instead of helping these officials and gentry landlords farm the land, those tenant farmers might as well farm the land for Zhu Houzhao!

At least working for Zhu Houzhao, they are working for Ming Dynasty!!

Moreover, the official, gentry and landlord class are really abominable!

Even now in the Ming Dynasty Daily, Zhu Houzhao will not hesitate to publicize how hateful certain officials, gentry and landlords are.

Of course, it is impossible for them to directly say that the officials, gentry and landlords are the class, and such words should not exist.

Although Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied with the officials, gentry and landlord class, he would not hold back at all even when he usually attacked them!

But some officials, gentry and landlords are still very good, and Zhu Houzhao will not kill them all!

At least these guys don't have bad intentions and don't seek death.

If those real gentry and landlords could make small profits but quick turnover for them, there would actually be many farmers willing to rent their fields!

Zhu Houzhao doesn't mind these people doing this. For example, in 903, Zhu Houzhao's income is nearly 20% or about 30% of the rent, which is also the rent in Huangzhuang.

The price is actually quite a lot.

After all, take the former sharecroppers as an example. They cultivated the soil for the gentry and landlords, and in the end they could get 20% of the food, which was pretty good.

Eighty percent of it belongs to the officials, gentry and landlords.

Perhaps these officials, gentry and landlords were more conscientious and paid nearly 10% tax to Zhu Houzhao!

But now, they give farmers 60 to 70 percent of the grain, and then use the rest of the money as their own income, and at the same time, they also pay a certain amount of taxes to Zhu Houzhao.

Perhaps these taxes are similar to the previous taxes, but the key is that the officials, gentry and landlords get less money, and the farmers get more money. This is also supported by Zhu Houzhao.

It's just that the life of officials, gentry and landlords is not as easy as before.

But do those officials really have no money?

Look at the salary of Ming Dynasty officials now. Zhu Houzhao has always chosen high salary to support his integrity!

In the five or six years since he became emperor, his salary and benefits have at least doubled, and even his current salary is almost two or three times what it was before.
