At the same time the next morning, another group of people came to the Yagyu family's residence, but this time it was the secretaries under the Minister of the Interior.
Yagyu Masamune couldn't help but frown when he saw this posture. It seems that some people in the royal capital have forgotten the terror of the Yagyu family!
That's fine, let's take this opportunity to let them review their past and learn something new! The Yagyu family is not serving as a gun for a group of idiots.
"Sir Yagyu," the secretary came in and said with a humble salute: "The daimyo hopes that you can go to the residence of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow night to discuss with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs the matter of leaving the Ministry of War Affairs."
"Stay? Is there anyone who proposes to abolish the Ministry of Military Manpower?!" Yagyu Danma on the side couldn't hold his breath and immediately jumped out and asked.
"No, no, no, sir, you have misunderstood." The secretary quickly waved his hands and said, "We are discussing the return of the Ministry of Military Affairs to Damingfu, not its abolition." Yagyu was stunned. Didn't his father refuse yesterday? Why?
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still did this? What is his purpose?
"I understand." Yagyu Masamune accepted the post, which meant that he would attend tomorrow night.
The secretary immediately said happily: "It's great that Mr. Yagyu can go, so I'll go back and resume my life first."
"Tomorrow night, you come with me." After Masamune Yagyu watched the secretary leave, he left these words and continued to instruct his disciples in sword practice. Yagyu came to his senses, nodded excitedly and shouted: "Yes!
"
On the other side, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs smiled with satisfaction after hearing the clerk's reply. He stood up and ordered to the left and right: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Ming Jing was sitting in the prime minister's house at this time, waiting for the officials and nobles to report the number of their own fields. When he found out that the number reported by any family was different from the actual number, he rudely killed him. And these captured cultivated lands will be
It is leased to farmers who have no land. As long as they cultivate it diligently for five years, the land will belong to them as soon as the time is up.
What the Mirror is looking at now has little to do with agriculture. It is a booklet about the taxation of the Land of Fire. To be honest, the Mirror would never read a word of this thing because it is too complicated. All kinds of taxes
There are countless ways to say the same thing in another way, and another tax is charged.
Sure enough, every world must go through such a process!
Ming Jing put down the booklet and rubbed his brows. This was still the land of fire. There were too many miscellaneous taxes to count. You can imagine how chaotic other countries were.
In this situation, there is someone who can refer to his actions! Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, was the fierce man who implemented the "one whip method" against the Ming Dynasty.
One of the "One Whip Laws" is very suitable for the current Fire Country: land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies in various states and counties are all combined into one law, and the silver taels are collected together and paid per mu. This greatly simplifies the tax system and facilitates the collection of taxes.
.At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, thus increasing fiscal revenue.
"We'll do this after we re-measure the country's cultivated land. Let's do it step by step!" Ming Jing smiled. He was still full of hope for the future. Before the plot started, he could gain more benefits for himself and increase enough chips.
To lay out the future. The future here refers to the world after Kaguya is sealed. As for the time period of Shippuden, both White Zetsu and Madara are fighting. Ming Jing has some plans for White Zetsu for the time being, but for the time being,
Madara doesn’t have many ideas. Because there is a big difference in strength between him and Uchiha Madara, they are not on the same level at all. It’s like playing a game and thinking about how to kill a level 100 black dragon as soon as you leave the novice village.
It’s so big that the big BOSS’s lair map hasn’t even been opened yet!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps interrupted Ming Jing's thoughts. He looked up and saw Yuexi walking in and announcing: "Master, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to visit."
"That chatty one? Please!" Ming Jing raised his eyebrows. That guy actually dared to come to see him alone. Did he accidentally activate his sexy M attribute that had been hidden for many years that night?
After a while, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs followed Yuexi in. He kept his posture very low. When he saw the mirror, he bent down and saluted and shouted: "I have met the Prime Minister!"
"Excuse me, I wonder if the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to see me for something?" Ming Jing asked bluntly.
Uh... The chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked embarrassed, and he once again despised Ming Jing in his heart. He spoke very politely, but acted like a reckless man. Was "The Way of a Gentleman" really written by this guy? No.
He must be an imposter!
"That's it. The Prime Minister has been working hard for the country since he took office. My colleagues and I are deeply moved, so I will host a banquet for the Prime Minister at my house tomorrow night. I beg the Prime Minister to attend." The chief official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs raised the invitation with both hands.
He said with a sincere face.
"Okay!" Ming Jing nodded towards Yuexi, and the girl walked over, took the invitation and put it on Ming Jing's table. Seeing the Ministry of Internal Affairs chief's relieved look, Ming Jing knocked on the table and reminded: "Your Excellency, please don't
I forgot, there are still two days left, and what should we do with the officials and nobles who have not reported their figures by then?" At this point, Ming Jing couldn't help but tilt his head and think about it.
"Ah ha ha ha... Prime Minister, please make sure to be on time tomorrow night! I take my leave." After saying this, the chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left in a hurry. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help but beat this naughty kid. The premise is that he beats him.
Got through the mirror...
After Yuexi watched Hua Lao leave, he couldn't help but worry and said: "Young Master, there is no such thing as a good banquet!"
"So this time, I want to take you, Qingyan, Mr. Takuto, and Mr. Hizashi to deal with them all at once!" Ming Jing sighed and said, he no longer wanted to waste time.
"Yes!" Yuexi nodded, finally able to follow the young master to do something big.
…
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and in the evening of the next day, when the lights first appeared, Ming Jing led his troops to the house of the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He couldn't wait to deal with these annoying guys.
"I didn't expect the Prime Minister to arrive so early. Please come inside!" The chief officer trotted out and said with a smile while bowing.
"I don't like procrastination. Well, your place is quite nice!" Ming Jing smiled nonchalantly and looked around. This is a traditional Japanese building, very similar to the Hinata's house.
At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi and Kurama Takuto stopped at the same time. The two of them protected Ming Jing from behind, looking at the man who was slowly coming with solemn expressions. Ming Jing was also a little surprised, he was the first
This is the first time I saw Mr. Takuto showing such a serious expression!
So, he curiously looked at the person who came. This uncle was quite charming! He had a cool appearance, holding a samurai sword in his hand, and walked over slowly. It seemed that every step he took had a certain charm.
"Hahaha... The Minister of War is indeed punctual!" The chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was even happier now. He put down his mirror and walked to the door to greet Yagyu Masamune: "Young Minister is here too, that's great!"
"This person is very dangerous." Kurama Takuto did not dare to relax, but warned in a low voice. Hinata Hizashi glanced at the katana in Yagyu Masamune's hand. He also had a solemn expression, but did not mean to open his eyes. Ming Jing said
He looked at the other person curiously, his stern appearance was quite similar to Danzo's.
"Let me introduce you two." The chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs smiled and introduced Yagyu Masamune to Ming Jing: "Mr. Yagyu, this is the Prime Minister - Mr. Kurama Ming Jing. Prime Minister, this is the Ministry of War
Your Majesty Yagyu Masamune, one of the main purposes of today’s gathering is to talk about the Ministry of Military Affairs.”
Ministry of Military Affairs??
Ming Jing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Fire Country had a department called the Ministry of Military Affairs. What did they usually do? Read newspapers, play chess and get paid?
After all, Ming Jing's official position was higher, and Yagyu Masamune still paid great attention to etiquette. He stood up straight, nodded towards Ming Jing and said in salute: "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
"Well done, Minister of War." Ming Jing returned the greeting with a slight nod.
"Hahaha, it's great to be able to invite two people today! Don't stand around, let's go in! I'm preparing many interesting programs!" The chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs smiled knowingly, and first invited the two groups of people.
Introducing the hall. The guests coming tonight are all his teammates. If everyone works together, I don't believe that you two groups can't do it.
After entering the hall, he found that many guests had already arrived. Ming Jing glanced at Kurama Takuto, and the old man nodded in understanding, quietly stepped back and disappeared into the hall. Hyuuga Hizashi sat on Ming Jing's left hand side because
