Chapter 418: Wang Zhizheng boldly reduced agricultural taxes

Wang Zhizheng's loud lecture made Xun Wenwen fidget, he stood up and said cautiously: "Master Hou, I was confused before, and I haven't figured out my position, I am really ashamed of my 20 years of eunuch journey as an official, I have forgotten the teachings of the Holy Master, I have forgotten the trust of the emperor, I have forgotten the emperor's grace, and I have done something wrong on the issue of children's education. In the future, as long as the Hou Ye arranges what I do, I will definitely keep in mind that the Hou Ye Church will always be vigilant against the emperor's ardent expectations in my heart!"

Wang Zhizheng nodded with satisfaction, then walked down, walked to the black and thin Shen Shaoxian, patted Shen Shaoxian's shoulder and said: "Speaking of Shen Shaoxian, I think everyone is no stranger, that's right, the Apocalypse Dynasty, he has done the official Shangshu, if there is no later purge with the eunuch party, Shen Shaoxian is likely to still be in the cabinet!" But because of the Great Purge, although I repeatedly explained to the emperor Shen Shaoxian's contributions, but still could not shelter him, and then the emperor said to me, Wang Zhizheng, do you know why Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu and they must be deposed? Because the cabinet elders understand that Shen Shaoxian, Mao Yilu and they are not the same mountain, if they stay in the court, they will definitely enter the cabinet, if they enter the cabinet, the Donglin Party will not be able to dictatorship, the so-called politics, should balance the situation, now is the time to use the Donglin Party, so they can only be wronged! But there is a good saying, real gold is not afraid of fire! As long as Shen Shaoxian and Mao Yilu understand their position, and they have always considered for the imperial court to solve their worries and problems, I will definitely reactivate them!"

Shen Shaoxian and Mao Yilu are both red and sore, it has been too difficult for them in the past few years, they have suffered a lot of hardships and grievances in a small county, and now they have finally come to Nanzhili, they can make great progress, how can they easily let go of this opportunity?

Shen Shaoxian choked up, unable to speak for a long time, there were too many grievances in his words!

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "Shaoxian, you don't have to speak, everything is in a word, Ben Hou understands what you mean, come to Nanzhili to do a good job, I take the big guy to make contributions, as long as everyone has the ability, and is not afraid of power, I will be able to solve the emperor's sorrows! I will be able to re-develop my ambitions and live up to my natural seven-foot body!!!"

Mao Yilu also stood up, after a few years of wind and frost, Mao Yilu's sideburns were gray, the original white and fat, now he has become an ordinary old man, looking very much like a rural teacher!

Wang Zhizheng stood at Mao Yilu and said, "Lord Mao, in the past few years, Benhou has not let the emperor reuse you, you won't secretly blame me in your heart?"

Mao Yilu waved his hand and said: "Master Hou, you know, my Mao Yilu is a person with a criminal record, he mistakenly voted for Wei Zhongxian back then, if it wasn't for Master Hou pulling me, not to mention that I can still have an official position now, and I can still serve the imperial court, I'm afraid I would have become a ghost under the knife now!"

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "Lord Mao is a person who understands, you can understand this truth, Ben Hou is very relieved! Work hard! Jinling City is now the time when you need the princes to defend the fruits of your labor with me, and the thirteen prefectures of Nanzhili have not yet established a commercial tax department, and the opposition in Jinling City is still ready to move, everyone listens to my orders to fight together, strive to complete the reform of the commercial and tax department within this year, fill the treasury of the imperial court, and let the imperial court have money to purchase military salaries, rich in disaster relief, rich in counterinsurgency, and rich in recovering Liao!"

Wang Zhizheng said, everyone stood up at the same time and said loudly: "I am willing to serve the emperor!"

Wang Zhizheng smiled and nodded, then turned around with his hands behind his back and strode up to the stage and said: "General Jiang Nai's decree has come to deliver the decree, you have already taken office, now I am going to go on the expedition, the rebellion in Yancheng County cannot be underestimated, if I don't Qin Shuai soldiers and horses go out to fight, it will inevitably form a spark to set up a prairie fire, so I will listen to my arrangement, I will go to Yancheng in three days, and I will talk about everyone's work arrangements at that time!"

Wang Zhizheng pointed at Zhou Cheng and Chen Zilong and said: "Chen Zilong is now the commander of the arsenal battalion, now I want to change his position, the arsenal battalion is not the commander of Zilong, led by Lord Wang Liangfu, the commander of Jinyiwei, Chen Zilong has been changed to the acting director of the Commercial Taxation Division, Zhou has become the deputy director, you two will help me take care of the Commercial Taxation Division, during the time I am away from Beijing, the Commercial Taxation Division must operate as usual, and we must do a good job in the work of the two land tyrants of Sun and Liu, arrange them into the arsenal camp, and establish a second land protection camp!"

Then Wang Zhizheng pointed at Ruan Dacheng: "Ruan Dacheng, the secretary of the military department, now you are the great Sima of Nanzhili (the common name of the military department), although there are only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, but you must build the official army to 10,000 people for me within a month, this 10,000 people, is the emperor's intention, according to what I mean, you have to recruit at least 20,000 soldiers, money, grain and grass are not a problem, you must defend Jiangnan, Jiangnan is the land of the empire's dragon prosperity, there must be enough stability here!"

Then staring at the head of the household, Shangshu Tong Ying Qiu said: " Tong Shangshu, the first time you do the household book, is my recommendation, I recommend you because in Wuhu County I see your ability to manage money, as the Nanzhili household department of Shangshu, the finance of the thirteen state capitals of Nanzhili you must give me a clear and clear clear, although the commercial tax department does not belong to you Nanzhili official, but you must also assist the commercial tax department, the implementation of the new policy, the state capital's commercial tax division must be set up as soon as possible, not only that, but also as soon as possible to count the business districts of the state capitals, the business conditions of the merchants! As for the agricultural tax, to be honest, I don't expect you to collect much, it is not easy for the peasants, and if you can reduce it, you can reduce it, in contrast, with the commercial tax, the agricultural tax can be reduced by 30%, don't underestimate this 30%, Ben Hou is very sure that it can reduce the hungry people in Jiangnan by eight or nine ten!"

Wang Zhizheng's reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes surprised everyone, at this time the country is short of money, but you want to reduce or reduce commercial taxes, isn't this a mess for the emperor?

Wang Zhizheng seemed to see everyone's concerns, so he waved his hand and said: "I know that everyone has doubts about my policy, and everyone may not know more about the application of the world than I do." Pen · Fun · I didn't pat my head on this www.biquge.info this issue, but I made a specific analysis with Chen Zilong, Huang Zongxi and Zhou Cheng, one city of Jinling City can offset 25 percent of the national agricultural tax, that is to say, four Jinling Cities can offset the country's agricultural tax revenue, but if the agricultural tax is not reduced, it will cause an increase in the hungry people, and the increase in the hungry people will cause bandits to cause chaos, and if there are bandits, they will have to suppress thieves, and thieves will spend more money, this is a vicious circle, so it seems that we have lost, and from the perspective of the overall situation, we are actually saving moneySo don't worry, you can follow my words to implement the new deal and reduce agricultural taxes!"

The problem of economics that Wang Zhizheng mentioned cannot be understood by officials who traditionally read the Four Books and Five Classics, but Wang Zhi is now the leader of the New Deal in Jinling City, and he must do what he said, so everyone still accepts Wang Zhizheng's opinion with an attitude of trying it out!
