Chapter 44 Starfall (4)
In September of the 26th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the central army of the Ming army captured Pyongyang, an important town of Goryeo and wiped out 100,000 elite troops in Goryeo. Using Hejinli Seaport as a logistics base, a few days later, 200,000 troops marched straight in.
In the former Koryo King Kaicheng (near Panmunjom), the judge Yin Zheng Zaihao knelt down to welcome the king's army and issued a manifesto that the Li family rebels usurped the throne and relied on his own. The Ming Dynasty king's army was punished on behalf of heaven. The Goryo scholars and civilians ate pots of slurry and became the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the Ming navy led by the Ming Dynasty Duke Tang He, led by the Ming Dynasty Duke, captured Shuzhou and directly broke through the barrier behind Seoul, and directly broke through the southern prefecture of the South City, the Goryeo capital Seoul, which was under the attack of the Ming army in two groups, and was in danger.
The news of the emperor's grandson's victory was spread to the capital, and the Ming Dynasty was inspiring. It should be noted that there were many emperors with great martial arts in all dynasties, but they had never had one. When he was the crown prince, he personally led a large army to destroy the country.
Even though his wise and powerful gods were like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and destroyed countries such as Goguryeo in Liaodong, he also promoted the efforts of the whole country, which took several years.
The imperial grandson led his army to the expedition in just a month, and it was a foregone conclusion that he destroyed Goryeo. Even if he did not destroy Goryeo, signing a city alliance with the small country would be enough to shock the history.
Even those civil officials who did not praise the imperial grandson's expedition at the beginning should be convinced and said with conscience that such achievements will lead to Mount Tai for the founding of the throne!
The Ming Dynasty was delighted, while the envoys stationed in the capital, such as Annan and other countries, were frightened and uneasy. The Ming Dynasty's military strength was so huge that if one day the Zhu family and his father were both angry and glared at other small countries, they would also send troops to fight.........
Therefore, not only did the ministers of the Ming Dynasty submit congratulatory letters, but the envoys from various countries also wrote letters to call the Heavenly Dynasty the country of their parents, and the tributes and other items paid tribute every year were doubled.
However, the crown prince is the crown prince after all, and is not the emperor. No matter how much the ministers praise him, there must be a limit, so the court has submitted a letter again and began to praise the emperor.
Throughout history, wise and wise kings have not known ordinary people, but they have never been like my wise and wise kings. The way of being a wise king is passed down from generation to generation!
The crown prince is the legitimate son and grandson of the Emperor Ming Dynasty. His Majesty is diligent in teaching and teaching, making him better than the blue one...
The ministers' congratulatory letters slapped the old man hard, which meant that there were few dynasties like my ancestors and grandchildren, and their descendants were neatly organized throughout the Ming Dynasty. After His Majesty's hard training and education, the crown prince had already shown the majesty of the eternal monarch at a young age.
It may not be effective if you take pictures of the old man’s horse.
But if you say that he teaches his grandson for good, he attributes the reason why the crown prince can achieve today's achievements is entirely due to the old man's education. He did not say it on his face, but he was so happy that his beard was raised up.
The good news has been heard in the past few days. The old man, who has been a little violent due to the Jiangnan tax laws, has really a much gentler attitude, which has made the ministers in the court breathe a sigh of relief.
As Zhu Yunxiu expected, the world will be in a big uproar as soon as the new tax law was released!
Especially in the popular place of Jiangnan, the literary style of the people had already equated the old emperor with Emperor Yang of Sui who was entrusted with the heavy taxes in the speech of the people. The scholars from Jiangnan, the Imperial College students, the Qinggui of the Hanlin Academy, and even wrote letters to the old emperor to take back their lives.
But what a good person is, if you mutter a few words and then bow your head to do the work, the old man won’t bother with you.
If you not only don’t work, but instead whine and chatter, pointing at the sarcastic spirit, don’t blame the old man for stabbing someone with a knife.
Since the imperial grandson went to the expedition, the old man has dismissed 87 officials, beheaded forty-two people, and arrested 280 literati from Jiangnan who were talking nonsense. He sent Jinyiwei and officials of the Tax Division of the Ministry of Revenue to set up tax divisions in various places with the power of thunder.
There are also local wealthy families who are disobeying the imperial court and have countless people who have confiscated their families. Anyone who obstructs tax laws will be confiscated. For a moment, the world is shocked, and then the gentry in the world remembered that the current person is now a Buddha who is holding a knife. When he doesn't kill people, he is a Buddha, and when he kills people, he is afraid of him when he sees them.
However, there will always be people who do not know the current affairs. At today's court meeting, several young censors of the Inspectorate submitted a memorial of 6,000 words, placing the disadvantages of tax laws, and pointing directly to the emperor between the lines, forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit and gaining wealth from the people.
Papa, under the hot sun, in the square outside Fengtian Hall, several eunuchs held up the boards in their hands and rushed towards the officials' lower bodies. Every time they fell, blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere. After a few strokes, the officials who were pampered and their faces were as good as gold paper, and they were venting but not inhaling.
In the hall, the ministers bowed their heads and remained silent. The old man sat on the dragon throne, holding the memorial and sneered. Look, he is so literary. What a Qin Emperor didn't know how to comfort the people, and he died in the second lifetime. Emperor Yang of Sui was too ambitious, and the world was in chaos. The Yuan Dynasty did not promote education.........
The law of commercial taxation is the country's exploitation of the people, the ill-fated policies of the people, and the public's grievances are boiling.........
Bang, the old man slapped the case and scolded, "Oh, if we want to collect commercial taxes, we will become a tyrant? If we collect commercial taxes, the Ming Dynasty will destroy the country. If we collect commercial taxes, the people will not have a good life?"
I read the book so fuckingly that I went into the dog's belly. What kind of shit is it?
Our business tax is only related to taxes, river taxes, and city gate taxes. After paying the money, it depends on postal transportation. No matter where you go, you can get unobstructed. This is not better than being exploited by those bad officials before?
Still competing for profit with the people? Do businessmen count as people? Only when businessmen have taxes and the treasury has money can they less plunder the farmers. If they don’t understand this principle, they dare to speak out to us?
The more I spoke, the more angry I became, and then pointed outside and shouted, "Park Bushen, ask someone to beat us hard!" If you don't understand these things, you will know that you are calling out the black and white. What do you do in the Ming Dynasty?
Then, his eyes turned to his ministers. The one who opposed the new tax law the most was the local wealthy merchants who had scholars talking. Scholars said that if they were poor, they would be safe, and if they were rich, they would help the world, right? They were all rich and flat, and they could leak oil even if they trembled. Have they helped the world?
Not only do we not help the world, we also have to blame the court and accuse us of collecting taxes. This is a bad policy? When we are promoting taxes, no one will say that we are good. If we take a little care of it, we will make a lot of noise. Do you think we are easy to talk to?
I got married, got money, and became a wealthy family with scholars to help me speak. I started to be proud, right?
I thought we didn’t know what they were doing, and how they set up prices and exploited the people, right? I thought we didn’t know that those who started silk shops and those who started cloth shops would use people as livestock, right?
The country gives them benefits, but they don’t appreciate it. It is natural to take such benefits.
Paying taxes is natural and taken from the people who use them.
Since our Dasun proposed to change the postal station in the world, twenty-three sections of the river have been cleared, forty-eight official roads have been built, and a total of more than 200,000 civilians have been recruited.
Where did this money come from? Do the people who were asked to find farming? The people who were farming never left their homes for their entire lives. Oh, damn, the court built a flood and dry road, and you businessmen got the courtesy, and even let the people who were farming pay for money. They took all the good things? Are they sober?
The hall was filled with the roars of the old man. The ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.
Our grandson told us that commercial tax and agricultural tax are two legs of the Ming Dynasty, one less, and the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later! The old man said angrily that it has only been less than 30 years since its founding, and that's it. If it were three hundred years, I'm afraid the emperor would not be able to instruct it!
At this time, Park Bushen came in from outside the hall and knelt down and said, "The emperor, the adults who were tortured could not bear it, and they had already gone!"
Good death! The old man picked up the tea and took a sip, Ministry of Personnel!
Ling Han, the Minister of Personnel, came out of the list, and the old minister is here!
Those few things outside with crooked butts snatched their Enko!
All the ministers were shocked. It was not counted if a person was beaten to death, but he would also have to be deprived of his official body. In the future, he would not even have a document for official faces, so the people were buried.
I am obeying the order! Ling Han is famous for his iron-headed head, but he is not a fool. He knows what the old emperor said at the moment and can't resist it.
But then, the old man waved his hand angrily again, forget it, forget it! Then, let it go and bury it for a lifetime. The family will give you some pensions and money. It should be erected for the monument. When you are alive, you are confused. Don’t let them die, and you will also implicate your family’s reputation!
Alas! Speaking of this, the old man sighed again, leaning on his forehead. The reputation of our tyrant will be ruined by his mother! But are these people stupid? They have studied hard for ten years and their ancestors blessed the high school to become officials.
After becoming an official in the Ming Dynasty, he also had to help those merchants speak. Not only did he speak, but he also saved his life! Are you stupid? He thought he was a loyal and upright minister, but in fact he was taken as a gun by someone else? Mother!
Then, the old man remained angry and frowned and asked, "Liu Sanwu, are those outside you officials from east Zhejiang?"
Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, came out and replied to Your Majesty. As he said that, he paused. They were both talented and knowledgeable on weekdays.........
We heard that they are all from local families and have industries at home, right? The old man interrupted Liu Sanwu and continued to ask.
Liu Sanwu paused slightly, yes!
Check! The old man shouted, sending an order to ask the Jinyiwei to investigate. If a few of them wrote a letter, someone would instigate them. All the people behind him would be rectified on the spot, their property would be confiscated, and their wife and daughter would be exiled. One percent of the property would be taken and distributed to those who died outside!
The ministers were silent for a while and said in unison, Your Majesty is wise!
Commercial taxes must be collected, and anyone who opposes them will chop off the head! We are a rough man and don’t know so many twists and turns. If we can’t explain the truth clearly, we will use the knife to see if their necks are hard or our knife is better!
The old man is full of murderous aura. We would rather be infamous than impose all the wealth of the Ming Dynasty on ordinary people and farmers.
As he said that, he waved his sleeves and scattered!
The ministers retreated like a tide, leaving a cold sweat on the bricks, shining on the gold bricks.
The old man leaned back tiredly, leaned back on the dragon throne, and said to himself that he could not count on him! A group of beheaded people who stared at eating dry food!
As he said that, he sat upright again, looking at Zhu Yunxi's greeting note placed alone on the imperial desk, with a smile on his face.
It’s better for our eldest grandson to lead troops to fight outside, and he still knows how to worry about our old bones!
Thinking about opening the memorial, Zhu Yunyu's familiar handwriting made the old man feel sad. Looking at the above, his concern for himself and his longing were beyond words, and he suddenly felt sad.
Silly boy, when will you come back?
I opened the memorial and thought about it while I started to look carefully. Grandpa and grandson did not embarrass you, and the Koreans were defeated.
The men and women in the Ming Dynasty are all good, and the fourth uncle is also good. The grandson remembers your words, brothers in the war, father and son are in the battle. The grandson is in charge of the central army, and the fourth uncle charges, and your son and grandson will make our Zhu family famous!
The old man smiled and nodded, talking to himself, "Good things are all good!"
When your grandson is away, you can't serve your grandfather every day, and you're very worried about it. When it's hot, don't always wear coarse clothes and change to silk. You're cool and don't stick to your body. You'll be simple all your life, and don't treat yourself hard when you're old. Our Zhu family has a great career, and you can't be poor if you wear some silk!
Do you still drink every meal? Drink less, it will hurt your health. If you really want to drink, you will go back to drink with you after your grandson is finished with the war!
The old man had a little satisfaction in feeling the filial piety of his children and grandchildren on his face and said with a smile, "Silly boy, I know how to ask us, but I don't know how to ask your big-bellied wife!"
Then the old man continued to look down, his smile becoming brighter.
Grandpa, after your grandson wins and returns to the court, can you please come to Mount Tai for the Fengshan Mountain?
You are a common man holding a sword and setting off Huaixi, sweeping the chaos in the south, and leading the army to the north. You overthrew the tyranny of the Mongol Yuan, and returning the people of the world to the bright mountains and rivers.
He sent troops to an expedition to resist the Hu people's wars outside the country!
The recapture of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun made the Hu people frightened.
Light labor and labor, rest with the people.
Now that my grandson has made contributions to destroying Goryeo for you, we will write all these things on Mount Tai to tell the world, how about it?
Chapter completed!
