To put it simply, Zhang Juzheng did two things.
The first thing is called a whip.
Since ancient times, the state collects taxes, and the common people pay taxes, which is a matter of course.
How to collect it, each dynasty is different, but it is basically divided into three parts: one is the field tax, the emperor is desperate to grab the land, you plant the emperor's land, naturally you have to pay money.
The second is the poll tax, the whole world is not the king's land, and the people of the world are the emperor's people (all his resources), and a few people pay a few money, which is an obligation.
The third is servitude, to put it bluntly, it is a coolie tax, the so-called money to pay, to contribute, when you encounter a project, engage in reception, the state not only wants you to pay, sometimes you also want to contribute, both hands together.
The second thing, called the test method, roughly equivalent to today's attendance, Zhang Juzheng is clear, the system is secondary, the implementation is the main, counting on the hard work of his subordinates is a fantasy, after repeated thinking, I thought of a wonderful method - bookkeeping, at the beginning of each year to list the work one by one, transcribed into a book, keep a copy of yourself, give a copy to the first assistant, check at the end of the year, if you find something not done, then congratulations, go to the county, if you go to the county seat is still the same, the punishment is the same, until you rush home.
The above excerpt from [Those Things in the Ming Dynasty] I hope it will be helpful to your relatives.

According to some historical records, the Wanli Emperor still harbored resentment and resentment towards Zhang Juzheng in his later years. Zhang Juzheng had a psychological shadow on Emperor Wanli when he was young, and Emperor Wanli has always been unforgettable. After Zhang Juzheng's death, the Wanli Emperor, although he had a lot of tears on the surface, soon took a series of retaliatory actions, liquidated Zhang Juzheng and his protégés, and dug up Zhang Juzheng's grave.
But there are also those who believe that the Wanli Emperor's resentment towards Zhang Juzheng may not have been based on personal feelings, but on political considerations. Zhang Juzheng was very powerful during his lifetime, and his protégés and cronies also wielded a lot of political power, and the Wanli Emperor may have wanted to weaken these people in order to strengthen his authority.
In any case, history has passed after all, and we cannot accurately judge the true feelings of Emperor Wanli towards Zhang Juzheng in his later years.

Because he felt that as an emperor, he should not be too extravagant, and he should be Liqin, otherwise the people would not like it. He just wanted to bring out the emperor's thrifty housekeeping through his own sails.

This is because Bu Chun only has a better role model for the emperor, so fame can play a better role model, and his appearance is also to warn Emperor Wanli that he does not want to act like this.

Only in this way can we help the emperor develop better, make the emperor's behavior better, and better restrain the emperor.

Zhang Juzheng is Wanli's mentor, restraining Wanli, reminding Wanli of the way of being a man, Wanli felt that Zhang Juzheng was in too much control, and after Wanli took power, he dismissed Zhang Juzheng and investigated it, which was the grievance between them.
Zhang Juzheng's "Wanli New Deal" directly affected the Qing Dynasty's enslavement system, which saved the crisis to a certain extent, and made a short-lived prosperity in the Wanli period.
Few people observe history in this way, and even fewer write it this way. >>>More
Although Wanli is the Son of Heaven, he also has a mortal heart, that is, he is more greedy for money, perhaps this is the personality of Emperor Wanli.
Objectively speaking, the three major expeditions of Wanli did accelerate the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Because it greatly consumed the national strength of the Ming Dynasty and made the lives of the people more difficult. <> >>>More
Jiajing and Wanli, both grandchildren and grandchildren, do have a common hobbyThey just don't like to go to court, so let's take a look at the difference between the two of them. >>>More
