- In the cabinet, Liu Jin was studying behind closed doors, thinking carefully about some things. After serving as an official for more than ten years, he finally sat in the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Liu Jin did not feel too happy, but felt a lot of pressure.
Every chief minister in the cabinet, as long as he can sit firmly, will basically have his own style of doing things.
Like Liu Jian, who has been the chief minister of the cabinet for more than ten years, his work style has always been mature and prudent, focusing on frugality and opposing redundant officials.
This can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, with no characteristics and no great effect. Of course, in itself, Liu Jian can only be regarded as mediocre among the many chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, but he is more mature and prudent. Under the auspices of the emperor, Hongzhi Chaoyi changed into the monster and strange waves of Hua Chao.
By restoring peace to the Ming Dynasty, it also greatly restricted the power of the factory guards. The civil servants in both the government and the public could live a good life.
But this is limited to this. For all aspects of governing the country, the set of principles he follows is still the Confucian way of governing the country, such as benevolence, justice, morality, filial piety, etc. The slogans are very good, but in reality It is of no use in governing the country.
That dynasty did not mean to govern the country with benevolence and righteousness, and that emperor did not rule the world with filial piety. This has been the case in all dynasties, and there is no big difference.
This thing is also used to deceive the unreasonable emperor. Many times, the emperor seems to be unfilial and unkind.
In fact, Liu Jian has not solved any of the many problems faced by the Ming Empire.
Internally, the treasury was empty, the border defenses were empty, the armaments were depleted, and the people were poor. Liu Jian did nothing. Without money, he shouted for frugality every day, called for redundant officials, and asked the emperor to be diligent and thrifty.
This is not nonsense, there is nothing new at all. If you put this thing in any dynasty, it can be said to be passable.
Emperor Hongzhi had only one wife and one son. He had always been very frugal, and the palace was not willing to take a break. Even so, he was told to be frugal every day, but as for those ministers, none of them were extravagant and extravagant.
He simply doesn¡¯t have it, or he doesn¡¯t dare to face the root of the problem.
This time z.c om Zhang Si. The fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty was that land annexation was becoming more and more serious. A large amount of land was annexed by gentry landlords. The grain that was originally paid to the treasury was turned into tax-free land.
Another issue is the commercial tax. The commercial tax has been unable to be levied because there are many people in the government and the public who oppose it. Liu Jian does not have the courage and ability to do this. Of course, it is also possible that he is unwilling to sit because it will harm his own. Benefit.
He is unable to do anything that can fundamentally solve the two main problems of empty national treasury. He can only shout about diligence and frugality, oppose extravagance and waste, and talk nonsense about redundant officials.
Empty border defenses and depleted armaments are related to the national defense of the Ming Dynasty. The root cause is the corruption of the military household system. The military households' military fields were encroached on by hundreds of households, thousands of households, garrison households, etc., and the military households couldn't have enough to eat. What else could they do? Soldier?
强牺 zhuishukan.com 读牺。If you want to rectify it, you will offend Xun He simply does not dare to offend your group, offend hundreds of households, thousands of households, guards, etc., large and small.
As for the depletion of armaments, in the final analysis, it comes back to the issue of an empty national treasury. Without money, there will naturally be no armaments. What's more, civilians are still in charge of the army, and corruption is common. It is strange that the armaments can be good.
Internally, it can be said that Liu Jian has done nothing, and is just a mediocre first and second aid.
To the outside world, the Tatars in the northern grasslands, the Jurchens in Liaodong in the east, the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, and the chieftains in the southwest were all taking turns, and none of them were solved.
We have neither the financial resources nor any good solution, so we can only drag it on and watch the Tatars go south to plunder every winter. As long as they don't attack Beijing, the rest is easy to say, just plunder and plunder at will. If enough is enough, he will naturally go back.
As for the Japanese pirates in the southeast region, they were left to their own devices. Without sea ships, warships, and a strong army, there was nothing that could be done about the Japanese pirates.
Just let them plunder. Anyway, for Ming Dynasty, the loss will not be big.
It is precisely this laissez-faire attitude that led to the Japanese pirates becoming more and more rampant and wreaking havoc. By the time of the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, the Japanese pirates were already quite serious and had to be eradicated vigorously.
If we could severely suppress and crack down on Japanese pirates during the Hongzhi Dynasty, it would be basically impossible.The development of automobiles, telegraphs, etc. in such a short period of time is inseparable from the new education.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. The number of new scholars is increasing, and it is developing faster and faster. Now some new thinkers are beginning to emerge in the ideological world. The things they advocate are completely different from those of Confucianism.
The contradiction between the two is inevitable and irreconcilable.
In addition, the most important thing is power. Traditional Confucian scholars dominate the officialdom, while scholars from the New Confucian School cannot be officials. It was better at first, but as more and more talents from the New School become more and more powerful, they will inevitably move towards the court. The government moved forward, demanding more power and introducing policies that were more in line with New Learning Thoughts.
This contradiction will inevitably break out in the future, and if you are not careful, a large-scale civil war may break out within the Ming Empire. The final result will inevitably be the victory of New Learning over traditional Confucianism.
The Ming Dynasty is not without its problems. On the contrary, there are still many problems. In the final analysis, it is still the contradiction between the feudal system and capitalist productivity, and the contradiction between productivity and production relations
