Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Of course Wen Tiren also knew that this was a solution, but in this way, he really offended all the scholars in the world.

Between offending the scholars in the world and the Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, Wen Tiren wisely chose to offend the scholars in the world.

Anyway, I have been offended before, and I am not afraid to offend more thoroughly.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen is right in front of him, which is the most terrible thing.

After doing the basics, Wen Tiren simply bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that the preferential treatment of tax exemption for scholars can be exempted, and the preferential treatment of exemption from corvee can be retained."

Chongzhen Emperor Long Yan was very happy, and said with a smile on his face: "Wen Aiqing is indeed loyal to the country and devoted herself to the king's affairs.

In addition, the problem of juren is also general. If there are more scholars, there will inevitably be more juren, and the preferential treatment enjoyed by juren is much more than that of scholars.

That's it, after Wen Aiqing went back to discuss with the cabinet ministers, they wrote a letter together for me to read. "

At this time, Wen Tiren had already begun to secretly thank Emperor Chongzhen in his heart.

It is certain that he has been blamed, but now Emperor Chongzhen's words have dragged other cabinet ministers into the water.

Anyway, the decision is such a decision, no one can change it.

But it was the entire cabinet who signed the memorial, and it was not my Wen Tiren's business to spread the word.

If there is infamy, everyone will bear it together.

Wen Tiren, who was secretly grateful, thanked Emperor Chongzhen immediately, and then returned to the Wenhua Palace where the cabinet was located with Meng Shaoyu.

After Wen Tiren retreated, Emperor Chongzhen cheerfully went to see his beloved daughter at Empress Zhou.

Today is really something to be happy about. Although the scene at the beginning was a bit anticlimactic, which made people not very happy, but the discussion with Wen Tiren later made people feel happy.

Regardless of the outcome of Wen Tiren's discussion on juren, even if some land tax-free privileges are still retained, as long as the tax-free privileges for scholars are removed, it will be great news.

After all, juren is not so easy to take the exam.It is even more difficult to go from juren to Jinshi.

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen's idea was to only need [-] Jinshi a year, and no more.

Of course, these three hundred refer to the Jinshi who took the stereotyped essays, and did not include the Jinshi of Gewu, Minglu, and Mingshu.

The more of these three subjects the better.

The flow of talents is not only upward, but also downward, which is the so-called diffusion of knowledge from top to bottom.

There are only so many people that the imperial court can use, so is it true that the rest are just left to eat and wait to die?

Obviously improbable.

At that time, there will inevitably be a large number of surplus talents, especially talents in Mingsuan and Gewu.

Whether these people want to be an accountant, or become a master, or do something else, at least they have to be much higher than scholars.

Similarly, the treatment received by the people will be much better.

After these people have tasted the sweetness, they will drive more folks to study Mingsuan, Minglu and Gewu.

This is the deepest hidden purpose of Emperor Chongzhen.

Since there are not enough folks who take the initiative to learn about things and arithmetic, then something should be done to force them to make changes from top to bottom.

What's more, this kind of change is benign, and once it occurs, it is difficult to take it back.

The troublesome matter of Emperor Chongzhen was resolved, but the scholars and masters in the capital began to trouble themselves.

The debate between Shen Hao and Wang Yongzhong was originally rumored, but the final result was that the two groups had their robes cut off, and they never communicated with each other. What happened in it is worth studying carefully.

The news that came out later was even more terrifying.

Eighty acres of preferential treatment land to be cancelled?

Juren is only given [-] mu, and it is strictly forbidden to donate it?

Damn it, I've been in the cold for ten years, and I've taken off my pants, so why don't you show this to me?

But there is an old saying that goes well.

A scholar who rebelled would fail in ten years.

In addition to Juren and Jinshi, it is actually not possible.

Not to mention that these people haven't the guts to rebel.

And what's even more wicked is that after only a few days, this matter became an official news from the government.

The Daming half-monthly newspaper officially published an article on the preferential treatment of land, as if the disaster of national subjugation is not far away if the preferential treatment of land is not cancelled.

Today's Daming Half-Monthly News is not what it was when it first came out, it is read by people all over the world as a fun after dinner.

Now basically everyone knows what is going on with the Daming Semi-Monthly Report and who is the real big boss behind the scenes.

Now in the eyes of the people of the world, the Daming Half-monthly Newsletter is the official mouthpiece just like the Imperial Court's Mansion Newspaper.

It's just that the Di Bao is an official version, while the Daming Semi-Monthly News is a preview.

Anyway, it belongs to Emperor Chongzhen.

Chapter 396 Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite

Even though there was a lot of wailing among the scholars, the final result still remained the same.

The final result is that the scholar was exempted from the treatment of [-] acres of preferential treatment, and other privileges such as exemption from corvee and not kneeling when seeing officials were retained.

Juren lords are relatively better, retaining [-] acres of preferential land.

However, the occurrence of donations is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, the preferential treatment fields will be taken back immediately, and all preferential treatment policies will be regained.

In fact, the remaining preferential treatment policies are basically comforting in nature.

Exemption from corvee is a big pit.

Did the Chongzhen Emperor impose corvée now?

Yes, but the collection of corvee is not mandatory, and it is also paid, and all the hard work and dangerous work are arranged by captives. The people of Ming Dynasty do some easy and paid jobs.

It is equivalent to saying that for ordinary people, there is money for doing corvee work, and it’s okay if they don’t do it.

It's no different than exempt.

As for not kneeling when meeting an official, any soldier in the guard doesn't have to kneel either.
