In the Ming Dynasty, there was a dazzling variety of miscellaneous taxes, and the tax in kind and the grain chief system have always been the basic policy of the Ming Dynasty to maintain the social system.

The abolition of taxes in kind in the Ming Dynasty had to wait until the tenth year of Jiajing, and the 'one whip law' proposed by Gui Cao began to be implemented in some places, and then implemented by Zhang Juzheng's hands throughout the country.

With the implementation of a whip law, taxes in kind began to disappear in the long river of history.

This was an important reform of the financial system on the basis of the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, it also laid a good policy foundation for the policy of apportionment to the mu proposed by Yongzheng.

Whether it is a whip law or a land apportionment, it is seen as a good policy that has more advantages than disadvantages, because this policy has liberalized the population cap.

Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were few dynasties that could maintain the stability of the social system after more than 100 million people, and did not make local displaced people, only in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the former population reached 230 million, and the latter broke through the 400 million mark in one fell swoop.

But Zhu Yunwen has no intention of implementing these two policies.

He abolished taxes in kind and cut all miscellaneous classes.

The purpose is not only to relieve the pressure on the people, but also to make the private economy 'lively'.

In the future, you have to pay silver money to pay taxes, and you can't use physical discounts, so the people need to find a way to sell the goods themselves.

Moreover, a whip law, or the tax base of the apportionment into the acre, is the land.

Zhu Yunwen is still based on people here.

Those who cannot farm pay the land money, and those who weave cloth also pay the land money.

As long as the central government's personal control over the people is not relaxed, then the upper limit of the population cannot be relaxed.

In this way, the value of labor will not be reduced, and the country will not be locked into a specific stage of economic development and it will be difficult to break through.

That is, it will slow down the process of economic involution.

"Cutting off all the exorbitant taxes and abolishing taxes in kind can increase the value of the people's labor."

That is, let the people no longer grab their heads, and be busy all day for a few pennies a day.

China's family farms are so small that they have to continue to work despite the very low marginal return on labor in order to make a living, and the mainstream economy of society is a pure subsistence economy.

In such an environment, the country's economic form has become a particularly stubborn and qualitative small-scale peasant economic system, which cannot be broken through and developed.

Based on this situation, the leap in technology cannot occur, and the super-large size of the huge population and the extreme cheapness of labor have become extremely important historical variables, limiting the shift in thinking patterns.

Zhu Yunwen has been thinking about and anxious about the stagnation of the social productive forces of the Ming Dynasty for nearly ten years, and now he understands that in this matter, the social and economic system accounts for a certain factor.

There was some quiet in the Qianqing Palace, and several ministers were pondering Zhu Yunwen's proposal as the emperor.

Unfortunately, they don't understand the economics of the country.

If it weren't for the arrival of Grianchi, to be precise, the thinking of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and several ministers in the cabinet would be highly consistent.

That is, to pursue the increase in population by all means.

It seems that the more people, the wider the land, and the higher the taxes, the stronger the country becomes.

In fact, when this comes to an end, the country will be dying, entangled in countless invisible filaments, and become a giant with great difficulty.

"There is no objection to the minister."

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Shiqi couldn't put forward any constructive suggestions, and simply supported Zhu Yunwen's idea.

"Cut out miscellaneous classes, inject vitality into the private self-operated economy in terms of policy, and let the self-operated mines, cloth mills, tea plantations, farms and other economies determine the output and employment according to the needs of the market economy.

It is no longer a blind pursuit of a production method that determines the output by investing in labor.

They can safely think about how to use technology to save labor costs, so that they can promote the progress and innovation of social technology, and plant the seeds of the birth of factories and mass production clusters, or in other words, the seeds of the industrial revolution. ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a long speech, and several people were dizzy when they heard it.

They can understand every word of the emperor's words, and it is like listening to the book of heaven when they are connected into a sentence.

What is the Industrial Revolution called?

Although they couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent them from habitually transcribing all these words and recording them in a small book.

"In addition to this policy, I have a personnel appointment."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, it was a bombshell: "With Grianchi as the vice minister of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and Yu Yanqing, we will deepen the reform and transformation of the economic system, comprehensively relax the regulatory restrictions on businessmen, and strive to make the coastal provincial capitals with conditions rich first, and then make the inland provincial capitals rich step by step." ”

It's over, the emperor doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured by that barbarian.

Xie Jin subconsciously blurted out his opposition.

"Your Majesty, how can you let a barbarian be in a high position, this An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty is a lesson from the past.

The so-called people who are not of our race will have different hearts, and this will never be feasible. ”

He was quite restrained, and he didn't say anything like a faint gentleman and a bright gentleman.

After Xie Jin, several other people also expressed their opposition.

On this matter, the Cabinet is surprisingly unanimous.

This is probably the prejudice and arrogance of the times.

In the Heavenly Empire, the country is big and the people are arrogant, who can afford to look down on a barbarian.

Let a barbarian be the minister of industry and commerce today, and whoever dares to say that the barbarian will not be the minister of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Isn't this a beast?

The strong opposition from the cabinet made Zhu Yunwen stunned, and this was the first time in so many years that he had been refuted by the cabinet so united.

Although Zhu Yunwen can use the supreme authority of the emperor to force it through, there is really no need to stimulate the cabinet for a foreigner.

"Since everyone is against it, it seems that I have not considered it properly, in this case, let this Grianch go to the Federation of Industry and Commerce to be an economic consultant."

A few people breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ming Dynasty was not the Yuan Dynasty, and it was impossible and could not accept the phenomenon of Han Yi being officials in the same dynasty.

Today this Europa man is an official, and tomorrow the Nanyang man is an official.

Dozens of hundreds of years later, is this country still Ming?

"Your Majesty."

Faced with this fluttering sycophant, Zhu Yunwen was still a little unhappy.

As an emperor, no matter whether the policy is right or wrong, Zhu Yunwen is reluctant to hear opposition now.

And today, he was actually refuted by the cabinet!

The emperor's face sank, and the hearts of several cabinet members were almost out of breath as if they were shrouded in dark clouds.

"Go and get busy, improve the policy I said today as soon as possible, publish it to the provinces, and wait until next year to implement it."

The emperor is issuing an order to expel guests.

Several people laughed bitterly in their hearts, and had to get up honestly to say goodbye.

Although it sounds cool to refute the emperor, where can you always do it.

Especially to refute a 'Emperor of the Ages'.

It's so exciting!
