Zhu Youxiao didn't stop talking: "In addition, King Fu's original palace, industry, and land directly under the control were returned to the royal family, and the palace was converted into a temporary palace. I will appoint a dedicated team to manage the royal industry to avoid loss and corruption. p>
For the land tax under King Fu, since he does not need to support such a large palace, he only collects 70% of the original tax. Of the 70%, 20% is used for local industry and palace maintenance, and the remaining 50% of the tax money goes to the capital for my uncle, King Fu.<
/p>
In this way, no one will say that I am using this incident to reduce the vassal state, because half of the tax money given to Prince Fu by the late emperor will be given to him. This is to protect him in Beijing, not to reduce the vassal state!"
His tone was firm and calm, and his voice was loud and upright.
The officials in the front row listened with their ears wide open, and the eunuchs in the back row who had also used messengers heard the content clearly.
It's not about cutting down the vassal vassal, it's about entering Beijing for protection.
It's completely reasonable to the outside world, and it won't have a reputation of being callous and ruthless.
Internally... Do you think King Fu dares to take 50% of the tax money?
How dare he take it~
They all went to Beijing and were put under house arrest. He would definitely not dare to take so much money, so he refused to give it all to Zhu Changluo and Zhu Youxiao.
Half of the tax revenue of more than two million acres, the huge palace and many shops and workshops in Luoyang went into the hands of Zhu Youxiao.
As for reducing the vassal status, there is really no need.
The essence of his clan reform plan is that the vassal king will enter the capital and the fiefdom property will be managed by the royal family.
This royal management, of course, does its own industrial planning and upgrading.
The Ministry of Rites was the first to come out: "Your Majesty, Sun Ruyou, supports His Highness's measure. This move will not only allow King Fu to be well protected in Beijing, but also reduce taxes and benefit the people. It will also retain half of the tax revenue for King Fu. This move is in line with etiquette and is in line with all aspects."
Benefit."
Fang Congzhe, Huang Kezuan, and Huang Jiashan also supported it.
When it came to Li Ruhua, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who had served for eight years and made the Wanli Dynasty's treasury relatively full, he did not come forward to support it.
After thinking for a while, he came out and said: "I feel that King Fu's visit to Beijing this time is beneficial to all parties, but he did not consider the people and land in the capital."
"Oh? What Da Situ said is, if you have any suggestions, it's okay to tell them."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is commonly known as Da Situ, which is a sign of respect following the ancient name. Li Ruhua is also one of Zhu Youxiao's teachers, which is even more respectful.
Li Ruhua said: "Prince Fu's entry into Beijing required a large number of residences. Now only the residences of Zheng Yangxing and a group of rebellious ministers are vacant, because it is definitely not suitable to occupy these places because of taboos.
Most of the other areas in the city already have residential buildings, and relocating the people would cost money and cause resentment among the people. If we don’t relocate, there will be no residence suitable for the status of Prince Fu. I think relocation is not the best idea, but I don’t have any better ideas at the moment.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded and acknowledged Li Ruhua's concerns.
It is a trivial matter to use money to relocate the people, but to allow the people to leave their former homes, I am afraid that many people may not have any complaints even if the money is provided.
The demolition within the capital of the Ming Dynasty is not the demolition of urban construction in later generations. If you leave your residence in the city and go outside the city walls, the conditions are generally much worse than before.
Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Mr. Cheng Guo, remember you said you were going to lay off the servants and go to the frontier, so you won't be able to use many houses for the time being, right?"
...Huh?
Zhu Chunchen's sweat dropped from his forehead.
"I do have... the house is handed over to His Highness Jian Guo, and everything is at the discretion of His Highness Jian Guo!"
This was a bitter feeling in his heart. He had believed the lies of the Donglin Party and was thinking about supporting Zhu Youjian, the fifth son of the emperor, and became the number one hero in supporting him.
Now I really owe the prince forever.
But I’m so miserable. I worked so hard to confiscate my house, so why didn’t I get a reward? Instead, I took my house...
I almost cried in my heart.
But Zhu Youxiao smiled at him: "Cheng Guo Gong is dedicated to the public service and dedicated a mansion to solve this problem. I will not treat my loyal and brave ministers of the Ming Dynasty badly. This mansion comes from Prince Fu's taxes, with interest on the capital.
To Duke Cheng."
Can I get this money?
Zhu Chunchen’s head is a little confused.
Wait a minute! You must get it!
If you don't take it, it will be equivalent to giving the house to King Fu. If you don't confirm your friendship with King Fu, you will continue to make him owe you a favor.
Want money!
He extorted a lot of money from King Chaofu and made the relationship so bad that he couldn't even get along in terms of face. Only in this way would the prince supervising the country be happy~
I also need to dig secret tunnels in advance for the prince to supervise the country, arrange internal personnel to monitor Prince Fu, and beat and warn him for the prince to supervise the country. I, Zhu Chunchen, will do these things that are inconvenient for the prince to do, and the prince will definitely remember me! p>
"I obey the decree! I will definitely let Prince Fu stay in this house. Give me enough money, and I will make arrangements for him on your behalf."
"Okay, I can rest assured that Cheng Guogong will do his work."
Zhu Youxiao's tone was very gentle, but Zhu Chunchen's heart trembled. He knew that what he said meant that the prince had been paying attention to his work, and he was doing well now, so he was relieved.
If it’s not done well...it might be more than just worrying!
His only option was to work hard for the prince.
Seeing Zhu Chunchen's attitude, several ministers later discussed taking away a small part of the residential buildings next to the mansion, which would be enough to gain the respected status of King Fu.
All the demolition costs for the common people came from King Fu's pocket...
Zhu You was very happy at school. As expected, everyone disliked King Fu. He was almost a political negative asset. Everyone wanted to step on him.
He is not worried about the royal family losing face.
The capital is under his control. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be punished immediately. All the family members and servants will be pulled out to work. The corruption network of those involved in the rebellion will be investigated.
With this fierceness, coupled with learning from Taizu, Chengzu said that I am not an orphan, civil servants will understand what it means to "do not leave the old and the new will not come."
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Now, please invite Zhang Weixian, the chief military aircraft minister of the Military Aircraft Department, Yang Sichang, and Hong Chengchou, the walking ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, to report on the results of the screening and selection of the Beijing camp."
"There are as many as 130,000 people on the Beijing camp roster, but there are actually only 73,073 people, and the vacancies are almost half." Yang Sichang reported.
Chengchou reported: "There are more than three levels of old and weak people in the Beijing camp, nearly two levels of slick and stubborn people, and less than half of them are capable of actual combat, totaling 35,000 people."
Zhang Weixian reported: "This time we will eliminate redundancies and select elites through several steps: ideological and moral character, physical fitness tests, individual combat, group combat, and comprehensive scoring and sorting."
Hong Chengchou added: "After screening, we conducted joint training and competition selection with Zhejiang soldiers and Shizhu Baigan soldiers as individuals, groups, squads, and brigades.
After passing the selection of elites, 2,863 people formally joined the expeditionary corps composed of Zhejiang soldiers, Shizhu Baigan soldiers, and Jizhen Qiangjun; 9,758 people joined the military police; 19,800
Forty-six people joined the garrison."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Sichang again.
Finally, Yang Sichang announced loudly: "Although most of the Beijing camp performed poorly, there is one person who is very powerful. His personal strength is almost equal to that of the Zhejiang soldiers and the white-pole soldiers!"
All civil and military officials knew that the capital was weak, but there was such a person.
