The Ming History Museum and the Ming History Museum opened the History Museum in the early second year of Shunzhi. Due to the political situation, the History Museum was reopened again in the fourth year of Kangxi. Although it opened twice, due to the Three Feudal Rebellion and the prosperity of the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty, there were few Han people, resulting in little success. In the 18th year of Kangxi, when the overall situation of pacifying the Three Feudals was decided, Kangxi opened the History Museum again and organized scholars to compile the History of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.

The erudition and great scholars opened in the 18th year of the Kangxi reign, a total of 50 people who were first to second grade in the test were all edited and reviewed the officials, and went directly to the Ming History Museum to compile history. The main ones were Tang Bin, Mao Qiling, Zhu Yizun, Pan Lei, You Tong, Shi Runzhang, Wang Wan, Ni Can, Fang Xiangying, Jiang Chenying, Yan Shengsun, etc., who were all famous scholars and scholars of the time.

Although Wan Sitong, Huang Baijia and other great scholars did not enter the History Museum and received a salary and office title, they participated in the matter as commoners. Wan Sitong participated in the compilation of Wang Hongxu's mansion and died of old age in Wang Hongxu's mansion. He served as supervisor of the Ming History Museum and president, Xu Yuanwen, Ye Fang'ai, Zhang Yushu, Xu Qianxu, Tang Bin, Chen Tingjing, Wang Hongxu and others.

The project was huge, and the Ming History Museum was opened three times. Although it gathered countless well-educated scholars and had been in the hands of Zhenwu for decades, it was still not written. To explain the study of Ming history and the deep understanding of the cause of the Ming Dynasty's fall, it is undoubtedly a group of editors and review officials of the Ming History Museum.

Zhenwu attached great importance to it and clearly stated that the country must not be without histories. He asked that it dare to write directly without deliberately avoiding it. He beautified the dynasty and deliberately cultivated historians who dared to write straightforwardly was passed to the Ming History Museum. The many learned people were very happy. When he heard that Zhenwu had an order to write articles for the Beijing News, he comprehensively and deeply explored the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. He was very moved by the fact that he had met a wise king.

For a group of editors, the most important thing is to be practical and practical, otherwise what is the benefit of hard work? The purpose and purpose of historical research should be to make history. Those who are responsible for the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty will follow the instructions of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhenwu Order published the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the Beijing News. This is to apply what is done in the world, to help the times and to help more people learn from the deeds of the Ming Dynasty. The officials of the Ming History Museum naturally followed the order happily. After the discussion, they unanimously decided to analyze the causes of the fall of the Ming Dynasty in detail from various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and diplomacy, and create a rigorous and systematic long article.

Compared with the joy and excitement of the Qingliu officials in the Ming History Museum, civil officials from all over the capital were frowning. The new policy not only infringes on the interests of the gentry, but also the interests of their officials. Officials and gentry paid food and worked together, which was to rob silver from their pockets. Not to mention this, what made them hate was the abolition of the collection of "envious and exhaustion". Cutting off "envious and exhaustion" was tantamount to cutting off the source of filial piety for officials. The officials of prefectures and counties could not collect "envious and exhaustion", so there was no silver to respect the officials of the government. The filial piety for the officials of the provinces was naturally gone, and no local officials were filial. Who else would be filial to the capital officials?

Although Zhenwu has begun to increase salaries for officials, officials do not refer to living on their salary. Receiving gifts is the main source of income for officials. Relying solely on salaries can only ensure that they do not starve to death.

The new policy not only cut off their financial paths, but also forced them to serve as food. The officials were naturally very angry. What was even more annoying was that Zhenwu even asked them to write an article for the Beijing News to explain the necessity of the new policy and applaud the new policy. Isn’t this a disgusting person? The officials listened to the decree, which was disgusting as if they had swallowed a fly, but no one dared to stand up and snort.

The civil officials of the Qing Dynasty were not as good as the Ming Dynasty. No one could check or balance the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty except the emperor, while the Qing Dynasty had a huge royal family, the eight banners and other military and meritorious gentry. The civil officials of the Qing Dynasty had to rely on imperial power to fight for a place in the court. Therefore, the ministers dared not speak out. Whoever wanted to rush to fight for a horse and neighed, would you be able to roll the bed and get out of bed immediately, and maybe you would end up being scattered and exiled.

I dare not fight. That would be a passive slack work. A group of officials from all over the world either asked someone to catch a knife or went to fight with their noses. They all focused on explaining the relationship between the gentry and the court. They did not dare to touch on the various measures of the new policy at all. They either wrote a thousand words, went off topic, or just perfunctory, or even said a lot of words, and were simply unaware of what they said.

Although the civil servants were resentful, the military generals were also indignant. Although the military generals rely on empty salary and drinking blood of soldiers, it has nothing to do with "enviousness". Perhaps the military officers who made a name for themselves in the capital were not wealthy. Who is rich nowadays not a landlord? Who would like to pay food and pay money to the court every year?

The royal family and princes and nobles were even more dissatisfied. Kangxi suppressed them to approve the tax on the acres, and they all had a huge opinion. Now Zhenwu has become more powerful and he actually wants to promote the joint occupation of officials and gentry. Needless to think, they must have the royal family and nobles take the lead in responding. This is not the tax on the acres. If the tax on the acres is paid according to the land, it is a considerable amount for them. The land they occupy one by one is not a small amount. The landlords who have stolen thousands of signs on the place are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

The royal family members, princes and nobles, did not dare to speak out like civil officials, and they had no intention of writing any bullshit articles. They immediately began to walk around and look for the banner owner to find popular royal family members.

The most popular royal family in the capital is the eighth, the thirteenth, and the fifteenth, but the thirteenth, Yinxiang and the seventeenth, Yinli were busy with the expansion of the new army of the imperial guards. They were soaked in the Ministry of War for a day and could not see anyone. The fifteenth, Yinzhen, kept talking about the affairs of the Beijing News, but the eighth, Yinsi, was not too busy. The crowd of those who could talk to the eighth, rushed to Prince Lian’s mansion to marquis.

Yinsi had expected this, but when he returned to the mansion and saw the long eight-carrying sedan chair outside the gate, he still couldn't help but complain. Fortunately, the Fourteenth brother was not suspicious of him, otherwise the people who offended this situation would be a lot. Looking at his attitude today, he was quite angry, and he was afraid that he would have to persuade him with great sincerity. The Fourteenth brother was so hard to do something, when would this day end?

After getting off the sedan chair, Yan Jin, the eunuch in charge of Prince Lian’s mansion, hurriedly came up and reported with all his steps: “Master, Prince Bumuba, Prince Yu Baotai, Prince Wudezhao, Prince Ping’s Prince Narsu, Prince Beilemandu, Prince Orondai, Alssona……”

Yinsi waved his hand and said, "No need to sign up one by one. There are many people today. Please go to Yin'an Hall. I will wash up for a while and then arrive."

After waiting for Yinsi to wash and change his clothes, he walked all the way to Yin'an Hall. There was a buzzing discussion in the hall. Seeing Yinsi coming in, the crowd hurriedly stood up to greet him. Without any greetings, Alsong said directly: "Eighth Master, the official and gentry are both responsible for the job, but it is not a place to pay acres. This is necessary to promote it. The money paid every year is not a small amount."

Yinsi nodded slightly to everyone, and then said, "Everyone is free." He turned to Alsson and said, "Sit down and say, don't worry." As he said that, he walked straight to the main seat. When everyone sat down, he spoke, "The royal family, the nobles of the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor's new policy is not for you.

Have you not seen the fundamental reason for the Ming Dynasty's destruction that the Beijing News has been debated in recent days? The fall of the Ming Dynasty was because the court had no money. What was the case in Ming Dynasty? The court could not afford to quell the rebellion, disaster relief, relief, and water conservancy construction. However, the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan could spend a lot of money and were extremely extravagant. The people were rich and the country was weak, and peace could be done. Once a famine occurred, foreign enemies invaded and did not perish.

The emperor implemented the new policy to ensure that the court has a stable annual entry. How many years have passed since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass? In more than 70 years, the number of officials and gentlemen has quadrupled. The number of fields that are not paid or paid for food under the names of officials and gentlemen is even more terrifying. Have you ever thought about not implementing the new policy, what will happen in a few decades?

If the imperial court has no money, what can I use to support the Eight Banners soldiers? What can I use to provide relief to the victims? If the Qing Dynasty is gone, your land and shops belong to others, I will not understand. What do you think of the trial of the new policy?"

Orondee, who had been unemployed at home, said dissatisfiedly: "Eighth Master, this is a bit alarmist. Hasn't the court's taxes have been growing steadily over the years?"

Yinsi glanced at him and said, "The taxes of the court have been increasing over the years. That is because there are newly reclaimed wasteland every year. After years of reclaiming, there are no wastelands to be reclaimed now, but the number of the Eight Banners is constantly expanding, and......"|

After a slight pause, he said in a deep voice: "In recent years, the annual income of the imperial court has grown steadily by the books. Whether it has risen or not depends on the treasury silver of the national treasury, that is the most realistic."

Prince Yu Baotai coughed lightly before saying, "Brother, the Qing Dynasty is not short of land now. The newly built Nanyang and Australia provinces are all deserted and fertile lands, and there is no threat of the annual income of the imperial court."

Everyone in the hall was immediately excited when they heard this. Bumuba immediately said, "Uncle Eighth, with the speed of the navy's expansion of overseas territory, the Qing Dynasty would never have to worry about the lack of wasteland for reclaiming. Didn't the emperor still annex the vassal states of the South China Sea? There was no need to worry about the steadily increasing the annual income of the court. Why bother to plunder it on our heads?"

"This is very true." Several people immediately followed suit.

Seeing this situation, Yinsi couldn't help but complain secretly. This is the truth. The Qing Dynasty really did not lack land. There were too many wastelands overseas. This truth was really untenable. After pondering slightly, he said: "The more overseas territory, more soldiers are needed to garrison. Isn't the navy and the new guard army expanding on a large scale? Now, just the Eight Banner Green Camp, the military pay expenses of the new guard army exceed the annual income of the imperial court."
