stayed in the heavenly court for two days, Zhu Jun was not idle, he didn't eat the elixir refined by Taishang Laojun, and when he left, he also packed a bag, planning to go back to his wife and children as candy, and almost didn't let Taishang Laojun hit the wall in distress.

Because of a series of things, Li Mengmeng and Mu Rongyu also completely let go of their reserves, and they didn't distinguish between odd and even numbers, and directly put a big bed in the master bedroom, so that Zhu Jun could live a fairy life of hugging left and right.

Of course, only with the damn system there, two days after the days of the gods, a new mission came again.

The person who came was dressed in a bright red official robe of black yarn during the Ming Dynasty, with a square and long beard, and he knew that he was upright just by looking at his face.

Li Dongyang, Zhi Xiya, was the first assistant minister of the cabinet during the Ming Zhengde period.

Sending a celebrity Zhu Jun was not curious, but Li Dongyang's words surprised him......

Because the blind cat ran into a dead mouse.

What's going on?

The Eight Tigers in the Zhengde period became the Nine Tigers from Li Dongyang's mouth, and one of them was Ximen Qingzhe, who Zhu Jun once asked Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao to help him become a eunuch.

That's right, it was that Zhu Houzhao who not only did not rectify him, but reused Ximen Qingzhe.

This guy is really eight-faced, he has become a eunuch and is still so active, not only has he been trusted by the emperor, but he has been reused by Liu Jin for less than a month, and he was soon listed among the eight tigers by hundreds of officials in the court, and the second of the nine tigers is only under Liu Jin.

It can be seen that his people have become powerful.

Li Dongyang came here completely because the Nine Tigers were too much, forcing Xie Qian, Liu Daxia and other humerus old ministers, forcibly enclosing the official land of Huangzhuang, privately intercepting the military sound, buying and selling officials, levying taxes, using power to monopolize the commercial economy, and so on.

But all the capable and immoral things, except for the robbery of the people and the chaos of the palace, are basically exhausted. Now it has caused a miasma in the entire Ming court, and the people are miserable.

At the beginning, there were also Xie Qian and other old ministers to help curb the eunuch party.

Now he still dares to confront the eunuch party, and he is the only one left, Li Dongyang, who really can't hold on, so he was selected by the system when he was thinking about it.

It's really a coincidence, and Zhu Houzhao, who Zhu Jun knows, is in the same time and space, the same era.

……

How is it so familiar?

Isn't it the number of knives when Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, was executed by Ling Chi?

system, your uncle...... The heart is too dark.

……

Jingshi Li Mansion.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, although the court duel is not a battlefield battle, but it is deceitful, you fight for me, and there is no need to fight on the battlefield at all. If it weren't for the fear of living up to the grace of the first emperor, the old man would also want to hang up the crown and leave. Li Dongyang sat on the chair and said with emotion.

Seeing that Zhu Jun didn't answer, he coughed embarrassedly and continued, "The old man is embarrassed now, how to let the little brother go to the court, if he is a staff member in the house, I am afraid that he has wronged the little brother." ”

"Master Li doesn't need to worry, Zhu has his own plans." Zhu Jun didn't have anything to worry about in what capacity, he went to the palace to find Zhu Houzhao, and everything was solved.

But what made him scratch his head was how to increase Daming's taxes. What's even more frustrating is that the damn system doesn't say how much to add to complete the task.

However, Zhu Jun has also studied history and knows that the tax policy of the entire Ming Dynasty is extremely unreasonable, and it was okay at first, but with the middle period, land annexation is like the wind, and various tax drawbacks will follow, which will lead to the annual tax revenue not making ends meet, and the imperial court will not find the reason, adding water indiscriminately, which will lead to the gradual intensification of social contradictions and the decline from then on.

Most of the land in feudal society was in the hands of the royal family, scholars, gentry, and these tax-exempt classes, while it was the ordinary people who paid taxes. The same is true of commerce, where the gentry monopolize and dominate the market, and the people who pay taxes are still the ordinary people who do small business.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he set a very low tax of sixty taxes and one tax, even if the rulers of later dynasties changed the commercial tax, thirty taxes and one is still a good commercial tax policy.

But the problem is that this is only the national tax, and local government expenditures are also taxed, which are often higher than the national tax, even ten taxes and one five, and the small traders and hawkers have less profits, and they have to pay high local taxes, which also inhibits the development of commerce and reduces the national tax.

If you want to reform the tax system, you have to confront the entire scholar class, the squire and the wealthy family, although no one can do anything to him Zhu Jun, but if he fails, it will accelerate the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which is a bit of a good intention to do bad things, not very authentic.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is not only a dynasty opened up by the Han people, but also a successor to the Han Dynasty "Those who commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away." After that, the only one shouted, "Don't make peace, don't pay tribute to the heavens to guard the country, and the king will die." "The dynasty of the slogan, even the emperor was captured, and the Ming did not give in.

What's even more commendable is that the Ming Dynasty really did this ancestral training until its demise.

Therefore, Zhu Jun has admired and liked this dynasty with many drawbacks since he was a child, but it is extremely backbone.

Naturally, I really want to help a group of Daming and let him live longer.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun said, "Master Li, as far as I know, the treasury is currently unable to make ends meet, I wonder if you have a clever plan?" ”

"Alas......" Li Dongyang sighed, and said: "It is better to pay taxes every year than a year, and there is no way, but if you want to implement it, the obstruction is too great, and I am afraid that it will end up without a problem." ”

"Again?" Zhu Jun frowned, "It's hard to be ...... before"

Li Dongyang nodded, and said with a wry smile: "During the reign of the first emperor, the emperor paid taxes in order to reform, which was convenient for the old man and other ministers to discuss, but he was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the local government was even more disobedient, and in the end, it was over." ”

Zhu Jun nodded, he also understood that the first step in reforming taxation was to re-measure the land and identify the person responsible for the land, then it would be found that a large number of officials and gentry forcibly occupied the land of the people, and it would be strange if they were not hindered.

In fact, there is another big reason why the burden on the national treasury is too heavy, and that is the conscription system.

Or because of the land annexation, a large number of military households fled, and they were unable to fight, and recruiting troops at this time was simply worse for the finances.

Therefore, if Zhu Jun wants to reform the tax system, it is not just a matter of taxing land. Instead, it affects the whole body, and what to do is to change the entire system of the Ming Dynasty.

The workload is not insignificant.
