"One-in-one job, one pays food" or "officials and gentry work together, one pays food"

This policy means that both civilians and official landlords must pay taxes, which means that they must abolish their tax exemption privileges.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, due to the lack of scholars, in order to encourage people to study, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the introduction of many preferential policies for scholars, in other words, giving scholars privileges.

For example, if a person is involved in a case, if an ordinary civilian, the government will generally be beaten without saying anything in order to obtain a confession. However, if it were a scholar, the government would not torture the confession as soon as it came up. It must be sure that he had committed any illegal acts and reported that his fame and fortune were removed before he could be punished.

For example, scholars also have special clothes. Only people with fame can wear this kind of clothes, which is different from ordinary people. To put it bluntly, it is to give scholars a chance to pretend to be a slut.

There are also people with fame and fortune who can not kneel down when they see officials, but just bow their hands. They can also not need to do labor service, pay food and taxes, etc., but the most enviable thing is that people with fame and fortune can also use slaves, that is, they can take concubines at will and enjoy all the blessings of all people. This benefit is not common people.

Because of the benefits of reading, another term is also called dedication.

What is giving? Don’t scholars need to pay land taxes? So as long as someone passes the exam, someone will take the initiative to submit their fields to the person’s name, so that these fields will no longer be paid to the court.

Since there are so many benefits, many people have sharpened their heads to study. After the late Ming Dynasty, after nearly three hundred years of development, more and more scholars have become. During the Tianqi period, at least 80% of the land in the world fell into the hands of gentry and landlords, while 90% of the population in the world owned only 20% of the land. The worst thing is that those who owned 80% of the land and wealth still did not have to pay taxes and food. How can the world not be in chaos in this way?

Yang Feng proposed that the whole job and paying food together is to redistribute wealth, pay more money and pay less money. This can only crack down on land annexation, and also kill more taxes and kill two birds with one stone.

After a while of silence, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Yang Aiqing, as early as two years ago, his idea of ​​serving as a whole and paying food together also caused an uproar in the court.

At that time, in order to avoid being too angry with the Donglin Party, I asked my beloved to conduct a trial in Fujian. I wonder what the results are now?"

"not bad!"

Yang Feng smiled, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.

"With the cooperation of Fujian Governor Xia Dayan and others, two years ago, the minister lifted the maritime ban in Fujian and piloted the policy of working as a whole and paying food in one go. It has had a very obvious effect. As of October this year, Fujian has paid 500,000 stones of grain this year alone, and this amount is only a little less than that of Huguang. Not to mention the money, Your Majesty knows this more clearly than Weishu. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"

Zhu Youxiao took the note and placed it on the table. He closed his eyes and rested for a while before opening his eyes and sighed: "It seems that Daming is really hard to return. It is impossible not to take strong medicine. Sandezi!"

"I'm here!"

Sandezi, who had been at the door, quickly walked in.

"You go to Wenyuan Pavilion... Let Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen, and Han Yu come together."

"Here!"

When Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen and Han Yu came to the imperial study together, they saw Yang Feng and Zhu Youxiao sitting opposite each other while talking while eating and drinking. Zhu Youxiao had already had a little flushing in his face.

Although he was stunned, his etiquette could not be abolished. The three of them bowed together: "My chief assistant to the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen, and Han Gong, bowed to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "Your dear, get up! Sandezi, please bring a few stools to let the three of you eat together."

Judging from this guy's tone, it was like an ordinary family was having a meal when a few guests suddenly came, and the host enthusiastically invited the guests to sit down and have dinner together.

Sun Chengzong was about to speak, but Han Dong, who had always been known for his frankness, couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Your Majesty, as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, you should stick to your own example, how can you be so ill-inferior!"

"not good!"

Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozhen's hearts were stuttering. They were about to stop them, but it was too late.

"Lost your etiquette?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned by Han Du's words. I was drinking and eating. I was so angry that I was cheating on you. He actually said I lost my etiquette?

He was about to speak when Yang Feng's face, who was displeased, had already sunk.

He put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Master Han, you accused Your Majesty of losing your manners. I wonder how Your Majesty mists your manners?"

"How is it not absent!"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao with a calm face, Han Yu knew that his words had been too much, but since he had already said that, he could only continue to say it with a slightest bullet.

"Your Majesty is the emperor, but he sits at the same table with his ministers and drinks. However, he loses the royal majesty. As a minister, Jiangning Hou is not distinguishing his superiority and drinking with His Majesty at the same table. Do you still have the etiquette of the superiority and inferiority in your eyes? How come this is not a loss of etiquette?"

"Bang!"

It turned out that Yang Feng slapped the table and made a loud noise.

"You fart!"

Yang Feng, who was so angry, stood up and pointed at Han Yu and shouted, "Han Yu, I have been tolerating you for a long time. If it weren't for the sake of Mr. Gu and Mr. Sun, I would have taught you a lesson. I never thought I would give you a face. Even if I had to take care of this marquis and His Majesty, I would have to worry about it. Do you believe it or not? I asked you to come in and go out horizontally today?"

Yang Feng's anger was immediately released, and the murderous aura he had learned in the battlefield over the years rushed towards Han Yu without any concealment.

"Jiangning Hou, please stop!"

Seeing that Yang Feng was about to take action when he had disagreement, Sun Chengzong quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the two of them and shouted.

"Marty Jiangning, how dare you move in front of His Majesty? If you insist on taking action, beat me up first!"

After Gu Bingqian retired and returned home last month, Sun Chengzong was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet by Zhu Youxiao. In addition, he had another friendship with a gun. Yang Feng was not good at losing his temper at him, so he could only glar at Han Du, "You are lucky today, otherwise...hum..."

Yang Feng didn't say anything, but everyone present understood that if he really annoyed Marquis of Jiang Ning, he would really hit someone. And it would be useless to beat him. Who made him so blind and dared to even dare to sweep the emperor's face?
