Chapter 720 Persuade Hao to shake the flag
Chongzhen nodded: "Accurate! Do it well! I want to kill all the traitors!"
"Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely help Your Majesty kill all the traitors in the world!"
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back to the car and rest for a while. My dear friends, too." Chongzhen actually didn't sleep well all day long. His country was like this. How could he still sleep? Chongzhen returned to the car and stayed up all night, his mind was in a mess, thinking about how he would deal with the treacherous ministers after he arrived in Nanjing.
Li Guodong walked to Hao Yaoqi who was tied up. Because he had been busy all day, he had no time to chat with this comrade-in-arms who had once fought against the guards of the Fu Palace in Luoyang. Now he finally got time, so he walked to Hao Yaoqi who was sleeping in the grass.
"Brother Hao, don't be fine!" Li Guodong smiled and patted Hao Yaoqi on the shoulder, asked him to sit up, and then loosened him.
"Brother Li Quan? Why are you? Why have you become an official dog?" Hao Yaoqi finally recognized Li Guodong and said in shock.
"I was an officer and soldier, Brother Hao, don't bark at all. In fact, I also think that the people can't survive anymore, so what's the crime of rebellion? The real damn are those corrupt officials and nobles!" Li Guodong said.
Hao Yaoqi sighed: "Brother, I know you are kind and kind, but you are an officer and a soldier, and I am a thief. We don't plan to each other."
Li Guodong smiled and said, "Brother Hao, I can understand that the people can't survive anymore. If they don't rebel, they will starve to death. There is still a glimmer of life if they rebel. Now that the King of Chuang has also invaded the capital, have you ever thought about what you will face in the future?"
"What are you facing? Anyway, kill all corrupt officials and give the people a bright future." Hao Yaoqi had no idea what he would be like in the future.
"Wrong, Brother Hao, do you think the King of Chuang can really give the people a bright world? Will the Jiannu in the north take the opportunity to attack the capital? Once Jiannu comes, those corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry will turn around and surrender to Jiannu? At that time, you will face the double encirclement of Jiannu and the gentry. Your Jiannu will have a worrying future." Li Guodong sighed.
Hao Yaoqi sneered: "I believe that King Chuang will definitely defeat Jiannu!"
"If the Guanning Army can stand on your side, it can still resist the Jiannu; if the Guanning Army surrendered to Jiannu, you will be in danger! Let's take a step back, brothers Hao Yaoqi, even if your rebellion is really successful, what will happen next? Isn't it that the King of Chuang becomes the emperor, and the meritorious officials below reward merits and become new nobles? The old landlord was destroyed by you, the population decreased, and the people were assigned to the land. Are they transferred to the land again? But what about the situation in the early Ming Dynasty? But what about the future? Will the descendants of the new nobles bully the people? The common people are assigned to the land, but some are hardworking, some are lazy, and the same land has different outputs; some are studying and becoming officials, and the land will not be merged in the future? Then? It becomes what it is now, and then the dynasty changes again. This is not a vicious cycle? Every time the dynasty changes, isn't the people still suffering?"
"You make sense, but what better way?"
"Of course there is a solution, but you can't do it, only I can do it!" Li Guodong laughed.
"What's your solution?" Hao Yaoqi asked.
"The solution is to fundamentally change these systems, nationalize the land, rent it to farmers, and do not buy or sell land at will. Of course, you may say that some people are hardworking, some are lazy, and some are rich and some are poor, what should I do? In fact, this problem is very simple. In the future, with the improvement of farming efficiency, there may be no need for so many people on the land. Some people can rent more land in the country, open farms, hire agricultural workers to work, and pay fixed salaries, so that the poor can also secure income from drought and flood."
"But brother, you also said that there may not be so many people on the land in the future. So those poor people can't find anything to do, so they still starve to death?" Although Hao Yaoqi is not well-educated, his mind is still quite smart.
