Chapter 226: Deep Meaning (1)
I will pay homage to His Highness, His Highness, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, all!
After Zhu Yunyu changed his robes, he had just finished his work on the throne of Jingren Palace. More than 30 people, including Liu Sanwu, the secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Ling Han, the grandson of the Ministry of Personnel, Fang Xiaoru, the Hanlin scholar, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, the censor of the Inspectorate, and the bachelor of the Zhanshifu, entered the hall to bow and bow.
The six central departments of the Ming Dynasty and the core figures of the civil servant group are all listed here.
Among the civil officials, Zhu Yunyu saw Xie Jin standing on the side of the Hanlin Academy's bachelor's degree. The latter quietly gave Zhu Yunyu a look.
Zhu Yunxiu immediately understood that these civil officials came early in the morning, but it was not just about ordinary political discussions.
Let's calm down! Zhu Yunxi smiled and gave him a seat to his beloved ministers!
Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, brought a group of Hanlin scholars, and solemnly worshiped the Lord. He congratulated His Highness for helping the kingly army to wipe out the country that was unofficial, destroying foreign countries and shaking the great power of the Ming Dynasty. He has been around for thousands of years, but his military strength has never been as victorious as the Ming Dynasty!
On that day, Your Highness was in the northern expedition, and I was short-sighted and said that the war was in danger, and the small country of Goryeo was unruly and unruly. Unexpectedly, Your Highness raised millions of troops, swept through thousands of pounds, and broke through foreign countries, and forever eliminated the borders of the Ming Dynasty.
Your Highness’s great martial arts will be remembered in history. The great power of the Ming Dynasty will be passed down for generations!
Look, what scholars say is good.
If you don’t need good words, you will say it to the lone! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, “It is the great troubles in the northern part of Goryeo in one battle to destroy the great troubles of Goryeo in one battle, and the soldiers on the front line fought bravely. Furthermore, our Ming Dynasty was strong and we could only restore the old land of the Han Dynasty in one go!
Your Highness is kind, I can’t wait for the inability to say anything. All the ministers worship again.
He said a lot of polite words, but when he saw that these people were not talking about the truth, Zhu Yunxiu said, "You guys come early in the morning, aren't you just going to praise me?"
Among the civil officials, after the eyes of the ministers collided, Grand Secretary Zhan Tong took the lead and spoke slowly. Your Highness, I have a memorial!
Let’s talk! Zhu Yunxiu picked up the tea bowl and blew it lightly.
When Your Highness was expeditioning north, Your Majesty ordered the Ming Dynasty to collect commercial taxes. My ministers are not pedantic people, nor are they people who do not understand the current affairs. Commercial taxes are also the country's wealth and cannot be abolished. However, the founding of the Ming Dynasty only lasted thirty years, and all parts of the world are in ruins. Light taxes are a virtue of rest and rest for the people and enriching the people.
The people of Jiangnan have already paid heavy taxes, so they collect commercial taxes again at this time. Wouldn’t all the previous efforts be wasted? In the Jiangnan area, many states and prefectures were resentful, and scholars, officials and gentry wrote letters. The court imposed serious laws, and the tax officials sent were all cruel officials, which made the local people live in poverty and the families of the big clans were destroyed.........
Zhu Yunxiu suddenly felt sick. These civil officials touched a bag at the old man and were not giving up. Seeing that he was back, he immediately ran away to complain.
In the past, King Wen asked Lu Wang: What is the world?
The reply was: The kingdom enriches the people, and hegemony in the country; the only country that survives is rich in officials; the country that loses the way is rich in the house; this is called overflowing and leaking.........
Bang, Zhu Yunxiu slapped the imperial case and scolded him angrily, stop talking!
What Zhan Tong said was the allusion that King Wen of Zhou asked Jiang Ziya.
How should the world be governed? Jiang Ziya said that countries that practice kingly ways are rich, countries that dominate the world with military achievements are rich, countries that barely exist with officials are rich, and countries that are unruly rich, and countries that are treasury are rich.
The wealth of the kings and the ruling groups above was overflowing, and the people below were as poor as the water in the bamboo basket leaked cleanly.
You are still a Grand Secretary, and you are here to argue with Gu! You are so bold. Why don’t you say these words in front of the emperor?
Zhu Yunxiu angrily scolded him, and the needles fell in the hall were heard, and there was a quiet feeling.
This is one time and another. You use the story of King Wen of Zhou a thousand years ago to describe my greatness and the world, and you still say it is not pedantic?
How many people were in the world during the reign of King Wen of Zhou, how many people were in the Ming Dynasty today? What was the territory of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, and how big was the territory of the Ming Dynasty?
To govern the world, we must enrich the country and strengthen the people. Commercial tax is the law to enrich the country and the good strategy for the country to make money. Why do you only see the disadvantages but not the benefits?
Taxes are taken from the people and used for them. They support all officials, the army, enrich the national treasury. How can we use money to build water conservancy and provide relief to disaster victims?
As you said, if you do not collect commercial taxes, only agricultural taxes, isn’t it the vast world that is added to farmers? If you calculate this for the farmer, you all need it from farmers. Just relying on the world’s grain tax, can the country be rich in the long run? Can the people be rich? I am afraid that both the country and the people will become poorer and poorer! After eating the whole meal, there will be no meal!
Zhu Yunxiu became more and more angry as he spoke, and said loudly, in the mind of Master Zhan, did the Ming Dynasty collect commercial taxes just to fill the treasury and rich the country and poor the people?
I dare not! Zhan Tong was afraid to worship him in panic. I just said that when the world is stable, it is not advisable to do this thunderous thing. As a king, you should focus on being gentle!
Huairou? Huairou means not collecting taxes, which means harming national interests. I ask you, even if you do not collect taxes from these merchants, can the people be rich?
Zhu Yunxiu looked around for a week and continued to speak without collecting taxes. The richer the richer the poorer the poorer the poor. The rich are rampant in the law, and the poor are shouldering the world. This is a country with no morals!
Gu knew that Gu had already expected that you would come back to Gu’s place to make trouble for the commercial tax matter. He thought he would have collected more and more names, and he would have collected more and more ruthlessly!
Can't you take a closer look and think about it, and then come to Gu to talk about it?
Commercial taxation collects three taxes in cities, rivers and customs, so why does it harm ordinary people? Besides, you said just now that the people in Jiangnan have a heavy tax. Why is it so heavy? Don’t you know? Commercial tax is to make the taxes of ordinary people in Jiangnan have a little less?
If you insist on using these things and messing around with Gu, will you definitely accommodate you if you recognize Gu?
Jiangnan has been the center of the world's wealth since the Song Dynasty.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, it fought fiercely with Zhang Shicheng, Jiangnan. The gentry of Jiangnan never looked down on the mud legs of Huaixi in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did they miss Zhang Shicheng, but they even missed the Dayuan, which gave them high autonomy and high officials and generous salaries. Therefore, after the founding of the country, the tax on land in Jiangnan was twice that of other parts of the world.
The ministers in the palace all bowed their heads and said nothing.
Those who disagree with the collection of commercial tax were ashamed, and those civil officials who agreed, such as Ling Han and others, were gloating.
The prince's grandson has changed!
Most of the ministers who do not agree with tax collection or such are all civil servants and scholars from Zhu Yunsheng's East Palace in the past. They always thought that the crown prince was close to the civil servants and were kind and virtuous, and they obeyed their words in the past. But they did not expect that today, they were hit by the head.
Looking at Zhu Yunxiu on the throne, many people sighed in their hearts.
Among the civil officials, Fang Xiaoru and others looked at Zhu Yunxiu and were also secretly tragic.
If Zhu Yunyu used to be a sword that hides his weakness, now he is a sword that shows his sharpness. In his early years, he was the emperor who had no power and power. Now he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. He is not only loved by court officials, but also loyal to the Huaixi Confucian Group of the Ming Dynasty.
The former crown prince needed to be praised so that the world could know its reputation as virtuous. Now, the crown prince prince, who has military merits and is regarded as the top of the emperor, has begun to exercise the way of controlling the subordinates and perform the king's affairs with one word.
Although Emperor Hongwu was a heroic ruler, his rule was too mean and not tolerant enough. He originally thought that the future crown prince would ascend the throne like the two emperors of Wen and Jing in the Han Dynasty.
But now it seems that the stubbornness and domineeringness in the heart of this crown prince is actually exactly the same as the old emperor, and it is more energetic and more aggressive. However, he will not just kill people like the old emperor.
Gu knew that these days, for the sake of commercial taxes, Grandpa Huang killed many officials and gentry in Jiangnan and punished many people, which made you feel unsure. Zhu Yunxiu slowed down his speech and said slowly, so you came to Gu and told Gu about these things, wanting Gu to persuade the old man!
How can the national government orders be changed every day? How can the emperor's imperial edicts be refuted by ministers?
In the past, the reform of the Qin Dynasty was unified by the six countries. Now, the reform of the Ming Dynasty was able to enrich the country and strengthen the people!
If you object, I don’t want to listen again. All the officials will be patient. How about the Ming Dynasty treasury in another ten years?
Only when a country is rich can the people be strong. If a country is not rich and the army is not strong, no matter how rich the people are, they are just a fattening lamb! Haven’t you seen the lessons of the past dynasties?
In the hall, Zhu Yun's words were like thunder, circling.
Outside the hall, the old man with a gloomy face couldn't help but smile a little. Dasun, what he said!
Look at the ministers in the hall again and cursed in their hearts, "Damn it, let's go and our grandson complain! The tax collection is what he thinks about, it would be strange if he can help you!"
At this time, a group of birds fell on the treetops and chirped happily.
