Sun Chuanting said: "My strategy to retreat to the enemy is very simple. All the people, livestock and food in the capital and counties will be withdrawn into the city. The deep ditches and high towers will not fight! When the weather gets warmer, Jiannu will be exhausted and the food and grass will be exhausted. If you don't fight, you can retreat all your troops."

Chen Xinjia said: "What if Jiannu attacks hard?"

Sun Chuanting said: "If Jiannu dares to attack forcibly, he is seeking death. The two hundred red cannons on the top of Beijing are not vegetarians."

Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "What should Jiannu do if he imitated the Datong Battle to dig up the ground and exploded the city?"

Sun Chuanting said: "The reason why Jiannu could explode the Datong city wall was because the Datong military was not prepared in advance. We can prepare in advance for the Beijing defense battle. How can Jiannu succeed? Let's take a step back, what if Jiannu really exploded the city wall? As long as there are red cannons guarding it, Jiannu still can't enter the city!"

After Sun Chuanting's analysis, Emperor Chongzhen and a group of ministers finally felt relieved.

Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts quickly turned to the long-term national policy after Jiannu retreated, and then asked: "Sun Aiqing, what should Jiannu retreat after Jiannu retreated?"

Sun Chuanting sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said, "Long live, I think the most urgent thing is to restore the Wanli New Policy. Only when the Wanli New Policy is restored will the national treasury be full. Only when the national treasury is full can there be enough land, money and grain to train the new army, and the Liao affairs can be pacified and the bandits can be wiped out."

The so-called Wanli New Deal refers to a change led by Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, during the Wanli period. This reform includes reforming the administration of officials, implementing the law of examination, clearing the land of cemeteries, cleaning up the fields hidden by princes and nobles, and the tyrants of scholars and tyrants, and implementing the tax one-whip method of collecting silver based on acres.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, royal relatives did not have to pay land tax. The scholars who had won scholars, regardless of whether they had passed the imperial examination or were officials or officials, did not have to pay land tax to the country. During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty had more than 200,000 royal relatives and nearly one million scholars.

It can be made a simple calculation. If each royal relative owns 1,000 mu of land, more than 200,000 royal relatives own 200,000 mu of land; if each scholar-in-law student owns 100 mu of land, one million scholar-in-law student owns 100 million mu of land, the sum of the two is 300 million mu of land, and the land in the country of Ming Dynasty was only more than 800 million mu.

These two huge privileged groups occupied a large amount of land across the country, causing a large loss of treasury and silver!

After Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was full of natural disasters and military disasters were connected, resulting in the national treasury being empty and the income was not enough. The court had to use military force against Jiannu and suppress the thieves. It had to increase taxes, of course, the extra tax could only be added to ordinary people. At this time, the most ridiculous thing happened. The people in many places worked hard for a year but were not enough to pay taxes, and they actually had to pay for money to farm!

The people who own a large number of land were overwhelmed and could only sell the land to a privileged group that did not have to pay the land tax, and then they were tenants, because the share paid to the landlords was far lower than the share paid to the state. People who wanted the country to farm had to starve to death, but they still had a bite of food to farm.

This formed a vicious cycle. The land of privileged groups was increasing. The land of ordinary people was getting smaller and smaller, which resulted in a further shrinking of the treasury revenue. The financial situation of the Ming Dynasty further deteriorated. The court was forced to continue to increase taxes, and the people could only continue to sell land in order to pay taxes...

This cycle continued. By the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, more than half of the land in the country had fallen under the name of two privileged groups. The land tax source of the Ming Dynasty had been reduced by nearly three-quarters compared with the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. With such a bad financial situation, it was necessary to maintain the operation of a huge bureaucracy, to support nearly 200,000 royal relatives, and to use military forces against Jiannu and thieves. If Emperor Chongzhen did not go bankrupt, it would be a ghost.

It is not only Sun Chuanting who saw the crux of the problem, but no one was willing to raise it.

Emperor Chongzhen did not think about restoring the Wanli New Deal, but almost no one supported him. Why did the ministers not support Emperor Chongzhen? The reason is very simple, because these ministers are also from the scholars. To put it in a modern term, these people are all those who are immediately profitable. How could they revolutionize their own lives?

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting proposed to restore the Wanli New Deal, although Emperor Chongzhen was expressionless on the surface, he was still very excited inside. Emperor Chongzhen had always wanted to restore the Wanli New Deal, but he was struggling that no one could use it. Now that Sun Chuanting proposed it, Emperor Chongzhen finally had someone available.

But soon, Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting were poured with cold water on their heads.

"Long live, the new Wanli policy is not feasible, otherwise the world will be in chaos."

"Long live, Wanli's new policy is to charge silver based on mu, and treat royal relatives, gentry and gentry, and civilians who are promoted to fight against the common people. It is simply a disgrace to be gentle."

"Long live, looking at all dynasties, scholars and students never paid food. If our Ming Dynasty set a precedent, wouldn't it be a heartbreaking for all scholars in the world?"

Ministers led by Zhou Yanru raised oppositions and resolutely resisted the "counterattack and Counterattack" of Wanli's New Policy.

The reform of the new land policy in the Longqing-Wanli period was implemented because of Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and other famous officials with vision and knowledge. But who was there in the Chongzhen dynasty? Apart from Sun Chuanting, who was really willing to consider the court and share the worries of Emperor Chongzhen?

As the saying goes, the public is angry and undefeated, Emperor Chongzhen could only retreat and seek second best, and promoted Sun Chuanting to the crown prince's junior division, and was appointed as the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He became the left assistant censor and governor of the military affairs of five provinces, Shanxi, Shaanxi, the capital, Shandong and Henan. As for the implementation of reform, he could only wait until Jiannu retreated before finding a solution.

Shaanxi, Mizhi.

Liu Zongmin was drinking in the tent with two women he stolen. His adopted son and the number one confidant Liu Cheng suddenly came in and reported: "Enjoyed father, Li Yan is gone."

Liu Zongmin's face changed, and he pushed the woman in his arms away, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you really leaving?"

Liu Cheng said: "I'm really leaving."

Liu Zongmin said: "How many people have you taken away?"

Liu Cheng said: "Only five hundred cavalry were taken away, but..."

"But how?"

"But Li Hu, Li Xuan and Jing Mao followed Li Yan in Chengdu."
