Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei Chapter 204

Of course, in all fairness, these, in Li Xiu's view, are only secondary.

The most important thing is the word "official governance"!

Tax reform!

Just these four words, it is completely conceivable, this, there will be terrifying resistance.

And any reform, once started, must be unswervingly implemented.

If one retreats in the slightest, it must be the result of the death of the people and the disappearance of the government.

But today's Ming Dynasty does not have the soil for the slightest reform at all!

Even if he, Li Xiu, can suppress the world, but a policy, if it is not implemented by a bureaucratic group with one heart and one mind, no matter how good the policy or the best system, it will have no effect at all.

The corrupt bureaucracy is enough to easily turn any system that benefits the country and the people into a government that harms the country and the people!

The existence of human beings is destined to be impossible to have a perfect system.

Every successful reform in history can only be said that the upper levels have the determination and the ability to suppress people's hearts to a certain extent!

But as time goes by, if we do not keep pace with the times, the system will also deteriorate over time, and the glory of the past will also become a burden in the future.

And changing with the times...

Throughout history, throughout the thousands of years of history, no one generation has been able to do it.

For hundreds of years, to be able to create an existence that dares to be the first in the world, that is the luck of the world!

With the current situation, it is undoubtedly difficult to start the reform! And do more with less!

But looking at the emperor in front of him, Li Xiu could only sigh and make a fool of himself.

"Your Majesty, the matter is very important, and we need to prepare carefully, but before that, there is still one thing to do, and it can also add a bit of background to the treasury."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian also had a flash of sadness on his brows, but he still cheered up and said, "Brother Li, say it."

"Zhou Yuji, the commander of Xuanfu, reported that Shanxi and Jin merchants were betraying the enemy and selling embargoed materials, and they had a very close relationship with Houjin. Jinyiwei also found some clues. Now many activities are behind Daming's detailed works. There are faint traces of Shanxi merchants..."

After speaking, Li Xiu immediately took out two files from his arms and handed them to Zhu Youjian.

Eight imperial merchants, famous in history, how could Li Xiu not pay attention.

Shanxi merchants rose in the opening of China and France, and then took advantage of Shanxi's geographical advantages and made their fortunes through mutual markets and Mongolian transactions!

This kind of border trade is, of course, indispensable for illegal activities!

After all, after Daming's military weakened, the border exchange was an important means to curb the grassland tribes and the later gold.

Forbidden by the imperial court, the grasslands will be in short supply. Once anything is scarce, it will mean a skyrocketing price and huge profits!

Shanxi merchants, who are engaged in this kind of business, can't resist the temptation of profit.

It is also inevitable that merchants pursue profits and cooperate with enemies and betray the country!

At the beginning, taking advantage of the great victory, he deliberately held Xuanfu Town in Shanxi in his hands, and then sent Zhou Yuji as the chief soldier of Xuanfu, which was to lay the foundation for this step in advance.

According to Li Xiu's plan, it was obvious that he had already prepared to attack Shanxi merchants, not only to solve the disaster, but also to search for an unexpected wealth.

But now, in the face of Zhu Youjian's urgency, Li Xiu simply slipped the matter out of the way and dealt with it for the time being.

"Hmph, merchants and merchants are chasing profits, and they are all generation without a king and no father!"

After reading the dossier, Zhu Youjian was murderous, and his face flushed slightly due to anger, but his body obviously did not allow Zhu Youjian to be as angry as usual. Brother Li, what are you going to do!"

"Shanxi has a unique geographical location, and Shanxi merchants also provided most of the logistics support for the border towns of the imperial court. After so many years of development, Shanxi merchants have long been rich enough to rival the country..."

Li Xiu talked eloquently, but between his words, he always revealed only one meaning, that is, after gaining weight, he can start slaughtering!

Although Shanxi merchants were rich and rivals, they also had great influence in Shanxi.

But He Donglin's fighting power was too strong, and he removed the spokespersons of other interest groups from the court early. Only the eunuchs supported by the emperor could fight against Donglin.

In this case, it is obvious that even if Shanxi merchants are intertwined, they are only a local interest group, and their interests are only limited to one place. Moreover, the attributes of merchants are in the Ming Dynasty, which emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce. In the big environment, it will not cause too much wind and waves!

"Then kill!"

"Brother Li, you have a good arrangement, be sure to catch all these outlaws!"

Obviously, because of his physical reasons, Zhu Youjian seems to have lost the calmness he used to do, and his work is obviously more urgent and urgent!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty..."

"But this matter, when the final commander is ready, we have to discuss it in the court at that time, so as not to cause trouble."

"Shanxi merchants..."

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu chuckled and then shook his head secretly.

Shanxi merchants can indeed be said to be a disaster, but compared with tax reform, the mere Shanxi merchants are really nothing.

Now, and even for many years to come, the entire North of Ming Dynasty will be doomed to be a mess!

Natural disasters, man-made disasters, none of them will stop!

In this case, it means that Daming needs a Jiangnan that can stabilize blood transfusions to support and even repair this devastated north.

In today's Jiangnan, the name of the wealthy is known all over the world, but, obviously, this wealth cannot be used by the current Ming Dynasty.

The only thing that can change this phenomenon is reform!

Once reformed, it is completely embarked on an unknown road of no return.

If it succeeds, it is natural to say that any difficulties and obstacles in the future are not a problem.

Once it fails...

With his thoughts at this point, Li Xiu glanced around at the majestic palace city, but couldn't help but smile.

In fact, Zhu Youjian's eagerness was not wrong.

When he is here, there is still the righteousness of the Son of Heaven and the authority of the Son of Heaven. In this era, the role of the word Son of Heaven is obviously predictable.

With him there, this reform can also reduce many difficulties and obstacles.

But once he is gone, the young master ascends the throne and needs to reform...

Everything can only depend on Li Xiu himself!

He is not a civil servant, nor can he be Zhang Juzheng or Yu Qian!

He is a military commander~www.mtlnovel.com~ He is a warrior in this noble and noble era!

Scholar-officials who have been high above for hundreds of years, how could they want to see a warrior standing on their heads!

At that time, the name of Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang, which is now crowned by many civil servants, will become a reality!

Even if he won't do it, everyone in this world will think that he is doing it!

Real and famous!

No doubt, no doubt.

The public opinion of the times will be qualitatively like this!

His future road will be an unknown road that no one has ever seen before, and perhaps no one will come later!
