In the imperial study room.

Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan, and Shen Yongmao were all worried and had serious eyes.

If a provincial governor was robbed, both Shaanxi, Xi and the court would be extremely passive and would cause severe shocks in the Ming Dynasty and the country.

Shen Yongmao raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, although Qin Liangyu is in charge in the southwest, he is vast and out of reach. He cannot do everything. I would like to send a capable governor to force Shaanxi and Xi to clear away all the bandits!"

Zhu Xu had no expression on his face, and Shen Yongmao's words were right. No matter how Li Jingbai was kidnapped, he was not ashamed to stay in Shaanxi and Xi after being rescued.

After Shen Yongmao finished speaking, Sun Chengzong frowned. There were many soldiers and generals in the Ming Dynasty, but if he said that he was suitable to take on a major task in Shaanxi and Xi, he would not be able to find it for a while.

Bi Ziyan looked calm and said to Zhu Xu, "Emperor, Shen Yang will come back, Tian Jinwei will not be that important. I think Li Banghua can be transferred to Shaanxi and Xi."

Both Bi Ziyan and Shen Yongmao's eyes lit up. Li Banghua is indeed a suitable candidate. He has worked hard in Tianjin and Wei for many years, and is very familiar with both political affairs and military affairs. He is the most suitable person to go to Shaanxi and Xi.

Zhu Xu nodded after thinking, and said, "Yes, I will give him privileges and allow him to serve as the governor of Shaanxi. Be sure to give me the attention of Shaanxi and Xi!"

None of the three of them had any objections. Shaanxi and Xi were too complicated, and such authority was also impossible.

But Zhu Xu didn't plan to do this, he should do some things.

He tapped his fingers on the table, looked at the three of them with a bright look, and said slowly, "I don't plan to delay any further things to do in the southwest. It's time to use some extraordinary means."

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Shen Yongmao were all close friends of Zhu Xu. When he heard this, his heart was shocked. Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what method should we use?"

Zhu Xu's hand knocking on the table was slow, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light was jumping, and he said, "First: limit the population. After the age of marriage, you can give birth to at most two children. Second, re-register, land, and distribution of land, at least ten acres per coin. Third, increase immigration efforts, and start next year, at least two million people will be removed every year! Fourth, implement semi-martial law on several southwest provinces to control population movement, and all checkpoints must be strictly controlled. Fifth, the six southwest provinces, whether they are white or official, will be taxed according to coin, and no one is allowed! Sixth, strictly implement the law of implicated and use the dungeon!"

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao were shocked when they heard this.

Each of the emperor's six methods is not simple. If it is really implemented, it will cause huge uproars.

Restricting the population? The Han people pay the most attention to inheriting the family line and spreading their branches and leaves. How could they agree to have only two children?

Re-dividing the land? It’s not easy to talk about it. The land is the lifeblood of everyone. No one will be willing to take it out and divide it again unless it is absolutely necessary. It must be kept tightly in his hands!

Immigration? This is a good idea. Although there are not many land acres in Liaodong, the threat of Jiannu has been greatly weakened. As long as the reclamation is strengthened, the land acres are enough, and more land acres can be sent.

Control population mobility? The disaster is serious and cannot survive, and people will not leave. This is even more terrible than a plague lockdown. Once the court cannot keep up with the disaster relief, it will definitely arouse public anger and cause public changes. This will be like a snowball.

Is it because I am afraid that this is not only the southwestern provinces, but the whole world will be anxious!

Involve the law... This is a fierce method. If it is harsh, it will be like the officials and the people who are forced to rebel, or the imperial court, and the emperor personally forced it!

The three of them looked at each other, and Bi Ziyan pondered: "Master, these methods... may have a temporary effect, and for a long time... they may backfire."

Shen Yongmao raised his hand and said, "Emperor, the imperial treasury is quite sufficient. I believe that the official tax is not needed. To stabilize the local area, officials and gentry still need to take charge."

Sun Chengzong and Zhu Xu have been with him the longest time and know him the best. He knew that there must be other purposes behind these methods of the emperor. After a moment of thinking, his face changed slightly and he didn't dare to think about it!

Zhu Xu listened to Bi Ziyan and Shen Yongmao's words, his expression remained unchanged, and his heart was leisurely turning.

He really thought about these methods for a long time, but there was no way to use the Southwest to test the officials in the world at the same time.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty was indeed as Shen Yongmao said, and was the gentry all over the world. They controlled the land on which people depended for survival, and then they would be derived, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and they were everywhere. It can be said that except for the royal family, the people with a small amount of land, everyone else was in the hands of this group of people.

This group of people had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty. For example, the previous Donglin Party. Although many people in later generations believed that the Donglin Party represented the interests of the so-called "official and business class" or "emerging capital", in Zhu Xu's view, they were a group of newly emerging landlord forces when the land annexation reached the extreme of the Ming Dynasty's extreme, and there was no interest to be divided.

They shouted to revive the Ming Dynasty, so they fought for power and profit without hesitation. In essence, they still wanted to grab food from the already deeply rooted landlord group of Ming Dynasty.

As for the relative, many people say that the "eunuch party" represented by Wei Zhongxian was indulging in order to balance the Donglin Party. Zhu Xu felt that this was a joke. No matter which eunuch supported by the emperor, it would be a killing ending no matter which foreign power is facing.

Who are the people in the "elebrity party"? Except for Wei Zhongxian and other internal supervisors who were attacked by the Donglin Party, the others are the "evil party" who were driven out of the court by the Donglin Party. They are the backbone forces in the court and represent the old landlord class.

To put it bluntly, the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party are a battle between the two new and old forces in the landlord class!

Although political disagreements are excuses, they actually illustrate the inconsistency of interest demands. When they reach the point of life and death, they are going to rob each other and they will take the lead.

From this point of view, the failure of the Donglin Party was actually the defeat of the emerging landlord class to the old forces. Among them, Tianqi played a role of being sluggish and even bare-handed.

He tended toward old forces, or in other words, Zhu Youxiao's position was not the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but as the largest and oldest landlord, he stood on the side of old forces from the beginning.

This is the fundamental reason for the failure of the Donglin Party. Emperor Chongzhen in history only saw the "treacherous" of the eunuch party and vigorously eliminated it, which led to the resurgence of Donglin.

The Donglin Party, which has risen again, has long been greatly damaged, no longer as its previous grand occasion. Faced with the huge, unfathomable old landlord class of Ming Dynasty, they had no choice but to do anything, which gave the remnants of the eunuch party a chance to restart.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, with mountains and rivers broken and the world withered. There was nothing to divide. Apart from the struggle for power and profits between each other, there seemed to be nothing to do.

No matter what, whether it is the Donglin Party or the eunuch Party, they represent the landlord class, which is Zhu Xu's biggest goal and enemy on the road to reform!

As for the so-called "Shang", they were insignificant to Zhu Xu.

The Donglin Party has been wiped out, and the eunuch party has been destroyed in name only and has lost its power, but they are still terrible. Even if they cannot directly overthrow the court, there are too many means to destroy the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xu had a lot of thoughts in his mind in a short time. Seeing that Sun Chengzong had not spoken, he knew that he must have guessed something, and smiled and said, "Georgie Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong looked up at Zhu Xu with a solemn face and said firmly, "Your Majesty, I think... I can do it every time I save, and I can't be too hasty."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, he was still seen.

Bi Ziyan listened to Sun Chengzong's words and thought for a moment, his face suddenly changed. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Sun's proposal. I must act cautiously. Rong Chen and others should discuss it carefully and seek a safe solution. Don't just act alone!"

Shen Yongmao didn't understand why the two of them were suddenly so nervous, but they were cautious without any big mistakes. He then raised his hand and said, "I'm asking."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, regardless of whether Shen Yongmao understood or not, both of them had cold sweats on their cheeks.

They all guessed that, not to mention anything else, just saying "official taxes" is a matter of being extended to Jiangnan, it will be a big upside down!

This is obviously a hidden purpose of the emperor and both of them are afraid of it when they think about it!

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, find the six ministers, discuss it carefully, and give me a reward before the New Year."

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong both breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor insisted on forcing him to force him, they would have no choice. Fortunately, there was still room for maneuver.

The three of them looked at each other, raised their hands together, and said, "Abide by the order."
