Chapter 184 The Emperor is angry

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment before exclaiming: "This is a good method, I have to experience it carefully."

Ma Cheng also knew that these methods might not be implemented, but local corruption was difficult to control. He said this only to throw a brick and to open a window for the elder Mr. Sun in front of him. Sun Chengzong was a person who believed and relied on the emperor.

War may not be too strong, but governing the country is old and stronger. The most important thing is to be a pragmatic old minister. If you collect taxes, you cannot let a honest gentleman collect it. You must have more means.

Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time before frowned and said, "It's not right, no, as a result, I can only fatten a few big rats."

Ma Cheng reminded: "Why is the old man not aware of the flexibility? Naturally, this commercial tax cannot be collected by the local government. Why can't a separate department be established in the Ministry of Revenue? The taxpayer should issue a certificate, and the certificate should be supervised by the Ministry of Revenue.

There are numbers and records. As long as there are evidences to check, who dares to make false, who can make false."

Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "It's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate."

Ma Cheng stopped talking, and the tax payment system in later generations was naturally extremely complete, and it may not be possible in this Ming Dynasty. In terms of the talents of governing the country, Mr. Sun was a hundred times better than himself, and he could always come up with a practical way.

Fortunately, the Shandong Forest Party, the merchants in Jiangnan, have been driven out of the court, and this commercial tax can always be collected more. Suddenly, my heart was filled with a surge. If the Ming Dynasty finances could be properly improved, the power that could be mobilized would be extremely terrifying.

of.

The Apocalypse dynasty should be the last chance for the Ming Dynasty to revive, and this is undoubtedly the case.

At night, Sun Chengzong left with great pleasure.

Before leaving, Mr. Sun smiled and said, "Although you act absurdly and talk about strange things, you have some fallacies. I have benefited a lot."

Ma Cheng smiled and sent the old man outside the door. He turned around and looked at Liu Zihua. He didn't think that he was a dignified emperor teacher, but Mr. Sun would fully accept his own strange and strange theory. What kind of person can be an imperial teacher

, the old man is stronger, and I have eaten more salt than the rice I have eaten at home. These people are very independent and even extremely stubborn. They will definitely not be easily convinced just because of the ridiculous words of a young man.

.I don’t know how those time travelers said a few words, so they made these old men obey their ideas. Ma Cheng asked himself that he could never do it.

However, Liu Zihua was deeply impressed and became more gentle.

Late at night, in the room.

Liu Zihua still praised: "Cheng Lang is the most absurd person I have seen, thoughts and led by my family."

Ma Cheng laughed: "Are you praising me?"

Liu Zihua smiled charmingly: "I praise you, are you praising me as an old pedantic?"

Ma Cheng sighed and said, "Even the disciples taught by these old scholars have become demented and stupid people, who do not know how to adapt, and do not know how to advance or retreat."

Liu Zihua thought hard for a long time, and Fang agreed: "What Cheng Lang said is right."

Ma Cheng teased: "When did you become a phony worm?"

Liu Zihua said in a silly voice: "Whatever Chenglang wants me to do, I will do whatever I want me to do, and I will be yours."

There is spring in the room. The seeds are sown for a few times, just waiting for their roots to sprout. It depends on God’s meaning.

Two days later, the court discussed.

In the storm, the storm broke out again. The day before yesterday, Linchuan Juzi convened a rally on Imperial College Street and asked for an increase in commercial taxes. Thousands of respondents were in an uproar in the court and the country. Ma Cheng knew that it was not the Donglin party opposed the increase in commercial taxes.

Officials from all departments in the capital and the empress dowagers of the two palaces were alarmed. They should not compete with the people for profit or impose excessive taxes. All kinds of memorials and memorials were shocking.

The ancestral system was naturally moved out again, and the two empress dowagers said that the fifty taxes were one of the ancestral system and could not be changed.

Ma Cheng was calm and knew that the commercial tax would not be increased for a while, but he never expected that the opposition would be so loud. If the emperor and the court officials tried each other, they would still have to fight. In the past few days, Qi, Chu, Zhejiang

Party officials were revived one after another, and some of the most opposed people were dismissed, resulting in a serious shortage of officials. The emperor had to call on capable ministers from the local area and select some experienced officials to fill the gaps.

This is another feast of division, and the one that the Ming Dynasty lacks the least is officials.

The emperor no longer raised the commercial tax, and officials from various departments did not cause any trouble to the emperor. The administration was cleared. Except for the lack of the chief minister of the cabinet, the departments were in order. Ma Cheng thought that the killing of the pen officials was indeed bloodless.

, Where did the eunuch party come from in this Tianqi Dynasty? The so-called eunuch party is mostly an old minister of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang party. I think so, can eunuchs become ministers of the six ministries and become senior scholars? The so-called eunuch party cannot stand scrutiny at all.

The eunuch party in the dynasty was also a Jinshi, and there were also old ministers in the three dynasties. I thought the position of the chief minister was Qi Shishui, but the emperor played a check and balance. He transferred two Shangshu from Nanjing to the cabinet, and appointed Wu Liangsi, the elder of the Chu party, as the chief minister.

, everyone was shocked. This Majesty was the blood of Emperor Shenzong, and he also knew how to play checks and balances.

When the four cabinet ministers took office, the first thing they did was to thoroughly investigate the big case of the palace and settle old accounts.

Ma Cheng knew that history had some deviations. The Donglin Party members could have lasted for one or two more years, but because of a major case of palace transformation, it was collapsed early. This should be a series of butterfly effects caused by framed Wang Huazhen.

The chief assistant Ye Xianggao was convicted, and the chief assistant Wu Liangsi insisted on giving him death. The second assistant Qi Shijiao opposed it, and the two cabinet ministers from Nanjing did not say a word. After a few days of stalemate, the emperor finally pardoned Ye Xianggao.

Liu Yijing and other old ministers during the Wanli period made him return home and think about his mistakes.

Everyone knows that the emperor is nostalgic, and these two old ministers have worked hard when the emperor ascended the throne.

The emperor was nostalgic and held a grudge. He killed more than 20 Donglin generals including Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Gu Dazhang, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, etc., and beheaded the eunuch Wang An, Si Li, and the eunuch Wang An, in one breath. The case under Sanmu was beheaded.

It gradually became clear that Wang An, the riots and more than ten cavalry, came to the palace and intended to assassinate. Such a shocking case ended in a hurry, and only God knew the truth.

Ma Cheng knew it clearly that this case should not be related to Concubine Zheng in the palace.

A few days later, Wei Zhongxian took over as eunuch of Si Li Bingbi, Sun Chengzong was promoted to the Minister of Revenue, replaced Zhou Jiamo, who was angrily imprisoned, and Zhou Yongchun was appointed as the Minister of War. A series of dazzling appointments were always traceable, nothing more than

The two words "checks and balances" form a three-party check and balance between court officials, nobles, and eunuchs, but this way of check and balance is still a bit immature.

The beginning of spring is the execution ground.

When he was committed a crime of corruption, there were many people when he was executed. Ma Cheng and his son also went with the Wei Dynasty to observe the punishment.

After a row of heads chopped down, even the deceased officials were afraid that they would understand that most of them were implicated, and the emperor ended up like this when he was angry.

The weather is still severe on the beginning of spring, but the father and son have to leave Beijing to prepare for war. Jianlu's strength has expanded to its limit. This spring, Liaohe, Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan, Mongolian grassland, and even Kaiyuan and Tieling will inevitably have bloody battles again. Although Kaiyuan still has a series of bloody battles.

The city defense is stable, but Jinzhou is very critical. Lin Dankhan's troops may not have defended Baicheng, and the situation is still very bad. Before leaving, they will go to the palace to meet the saint and show their determination.
