Even if the money for taxation is not collected in kind, don't corrupt officials still come up with ways to embezzle money and waste money?
Therefore, corruption cannot be eradicated at all.
Officials without conscience are desperately greedy, causing harm to the country and the people.
This kind of person deserves to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
There is nothing wrong with a conscientious official being a little greedy and doing his job well.
People are naturally greedy for pleasure, and they always want to make those who work more comfortable.
The whole idea of maintaining natural principles and destroying human desires is bullshit.
Zhu Xi, who said this, had married two nuns and was showing off in the market.
However, this method will disturb a lot of people's cakes, so it will definitely make a fuss for a while.
Zhu Bai yawned again: It was so warm leaning against Zhu Biao, it was so good to sleep.
Liu Bowen glanced with interest at Zhu Bai, who had fallen asleep standing up.
Did this kid come up with it again?
Is this something a seven-year-old can come up with?!
Or is he just getting it wrong again?
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on it, was so noisy that his ears were buzzing, and he cursed in his heart: These rotten Confucian ministers pretended to be dead like salted fish when they were asked to come up with ideas yesterday.
Now that I have proposed a solution, they don’t want to think about how to implement it smoothly, they just want to play devil’s advocate!!
It’s true that there is more than enough success and more than failure!
He said coldly: "Stop arguing. Whoever quarrels again will be slapped with twenty bucks."
Then it was quiet down there for a moment.
The Minister of Household Affairs moved out timidly: "I still have a question."
Lao Zhu said: "Speak."
The Minister of Household Affairs whispered: "Now that the currency has not been unified, how can we collect taxes in a unified standard?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "In the first year of Hongwu, I asked the Ministry of Industry to cast the 'Hongwu Tongbao'. It has been eight years since Hongwu, and you still tell me that the coins have not yet been unified. What have you been doing in the past seven years?"
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Accounts bowed their heads and said nothing.
There are naturally a lot of tricks in the middle.
For example, in Guangdong Road, there were many powerful local gentry. These people minted their own coins and circulated them locally. Even the former Panyu County Magistrate was killed because of this matter of governance.
It is not that easy to implement a unified currency across the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the mystery and said: "Before, it was said that the amount of coins minted was not enough for the whole world to use. This problem no longer exists. From today on, all officials will be paid with "Hongwu Tongbao"
'.I don't believe it, and I can't push it away like this."
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
Lao Zhu added: "Those who objected just now should first donate all their money to the national treasury and get this matter settled, and then they can raise objections again.",
Song Lian trembled and knelt down: "I still have ten taels of broken silver at home, which I would like to present to the emperor. The emperor must not change the tax system rashly. Otherwise, it may arouse public resentment."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily: This old antique, am I short of your ten taels of silver? I am short of several million taels a year for expenses and the money to build the palace, as well as military pay for the border areas.
I just said an angry word, and you had the shamelessness to climb up the pole?!
Liu Bowen also knelt down: "I also have five taels of silver in my family, and I am willing to lend it to the emperor to tide over the difficulties."
Zhu Bai was intrigued by these words and turned around to look at Liu Bowen: That shouldn't be the case. Liu Bowen is so smart that he must understand the benefits of this method.
Then the officials knelt down one after another.
This one said: "I have a set of silverware."
The one said: "I have a silver bracelet."
In the end, Li Shanchang was the only one left standing.
Zhu Bai suddenly realized: Tsk tsk, it turned out that the reason for making such a big fuss was because of him.
Liu Bowen, Song Lian and the others were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. Anyway, their family had only four walls.
Li Shanchang is in trouble.
He likes to receive gifts, and there must be a lot of gold and silver utensils in his home.
How much should I say to express my loyalty at this moment?
If you say anything less, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not believe it.
If you talk too much, everyone will ask where your money comes from.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was serious and went to Li Mansion to search, it would be really troublesome.
Sure enough, Li Shanchang's face turned red and white, and he hesitated. He wanted to kneel but didn't dare.
Zhu Yuanzhang, a human being like Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally would not let Liu Bowen get his wish. He said coldly: "No need to say anything. I have already decided on this matter. Anyone who said that he disagreed just now donated money and came to me."
Fengyang, the central capital, will set off tomorrow and return before the end of the year. You should reflect on your mistakes, and then think about how to implement this decree. When you come back from Fengyang, everyone must present at least three feasible measures.
"
Now the officials were dumbfounded. It was just a show, but who would have thought that Lao Zhu would be so shameless.
Li Shanchang was very happy: I let you do evil things, now you will be unlucky.
This is exactly how he loses his wife and loses his troops.
At least for several months, Liu Bowen could not go against him.
Liu Bowen was not angry, but he smiled and kowtowed: "Kowtow to thank the Holy Grace."
Li Shanchang was suddenly startled, no, no, this old magician must have other ideas.
Ah, yes, yes, in addition to drawing fire on me, it is also testing Lao Zhu's determination to implement the New Deal.
In fact, the person who should be opposed the most is me, Li Shanchang.
Because the officials at all levels who exploited me at all levels will eventually be more filial to me.
"Kicking buckets" and "changing buckets" are all things I thought about with great thought.
Seven or eight of the ten "grain chiefs" responsible for collecting grain in various states and counties are my people.
Now that the gameplay has changed, I have to think of other ways to deal with it.
The more Li Shanchang thought about it, the more regretful he became.
Here Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao again and said: "The prince, together with the princes who are twelve years old and the King of Xiang, will go with all the masters to pay homage to the ancestral graves and talk about Wuzhongdu."
When Zhu Bai heard the number "twelve" now, it was like a certain switch in his body was pressed. He immediately woke up, stood up straight and asked, "Well, where are you going and what are you going to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Go and practice riding and shooting skills, practice the art of war. Go and make trouble! Isn't this what you like best?"
When I went there, Fengyang Palace sounded like a royal palace, but in fact it was only half-renovated and it was just a construction site.
There are so many of us and our entourage, where will we stay and what will we eat?
Is it difficult to go camping?
Besides, we’ve already mentioned military training for those above twelve years old, so why do you want to drag me down?
I originally thought that when I became a prince, I would be able to live happily and enjoy life, but now I can't even afford food and clothing all day long, and I have to worry and be tired from running around.
Zhu Bai wanted to lift the table, but he clenched his fists, feeling that it was more important to save his life.
Besides, Lao Zhu always prefers soft things over hard things.
He pursed his lips: "I can't bear to leave my father, the emperor, and my mother, so my father should let me stay in Yingtian."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled grimly: "No, no one can refuse to go, you must go."
Boy, don't you have to pay the price for tormenting me?
You obviously came up with this idea in the court yesterday, but you had to make me upset and I threatened to spank you before you said it.
Please go back to the countryside of Fengyang to exercise.
