Guo Dan understood!

Reform is imperative.

Although the fat house opens its mouth for money, closes its mouth for money, and eats is extremely ugly, it can be called unprecedented, but there is something more important than money in it, that is, the will of the fat house, which is beyond doubt.

Since his accession to the throne, Zhang Juzheng has been firmly controlled for the first ten years, and for the next ten years, he has been exhausted by the bureaucracy and almost went on strike.

Fortunately, Guo Dan appeared in time and gave him a stimulant injection.

But no matter what, his will has never been valued and recognized by others, let alone implemented.

And Guo Dan's previous words of comfort, as well as the tax bills, reminded him of the bitter years when he went to grind with Xu Mengxi's old fox for 20,000 taels, which undoubtedly completely ignited the anger in his heart.

Their money is theirs, and the people's money is theirs, but my money is the state, and the state's money is theirs.

Wanli, who sees everything clearly, will never tolerate the continuation of this situation.

The people's money belongs to the state, and their money should belong to the state, and the state's money should belong to me.

This is the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

This is also why the fat house directly proposed a tax reform without notifying anyone in advance.

Because he wants to lead a reform based on his own will, and no one can question it.

To put it simply, it is to go to TM Zhang Juzheng!

Lao Tzu fat house has the final say!

Therefore, the core of this is still in the imperial power, and money is only the embodiment of the imperial power.

Guo Dan, who returned to Yinuo Yaxing, asked Aunt Xu with a depressed mood: "Do you have a horse for a layman?" ”

Aunt Xu was blindsided when she was asked, and just shook her head.

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "That layman really gave up a way to make money?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because the layman's ideas can always be realized, although the layman just sits here and moves his mouth." Guo Dan rubbed his face, "It seems that this reform is imperative!" ”

For him, the fat house is his core interest.

In the face of the corrupt Ming Dynasty, in the face of the greedy magnates, in the face of the faith blessed scholars, in the face of the intertwined bureaucracy, he is extremely lonely as a businessman, and he is powerless to compete with them.

Of course, he hopes that the fat house will defeat the entire bureaucracy, but he thinks that now is not the time, there is not enough strength to fight them, and a bigger storm is needed.

But it's a pity that he messed up.

He had to start helping the fat house with a plan for reform.

However, the roar of the fat house did not make the situation between the DPRK and China clearer, but became more confusing.

At the beginning, it was very clear.

It is the ministers who hope that they can use the way of the imperial court to buy shares, check and balance Guo Dan who has just merged with the fat house, but they can't let Guo Dan continue to develop like this, if they are not controlled by the imperial court, it is really terrible.

This was a consensus.

But after this series of micro-manipulations of the fat house, as well as the ministers with their own thoughts, this matter gradually got out of control and went to a completely unpredictable path.

In fact, it is Wang Xijue and Cao Ke who are really responsible, because for them to take a stake in the Grand Canyon, this is just a disguise, their purpose is to carry out reforms, where do they know that the emperor also wants to reform, and it is to use his own will.

But no matter what the reason was before, now that the emperor has opened Chrysostom, no one dares to take this matter as a cover and continue to watch them perform.

You have to be involved.

Otherwise, they will eat you to the point where you don't even have a bone left.

The court was immediately torn apart.

The conservative faction led by Zhang Wenxi immediately found Chen Younian, the top boss, and told Chen Younian that you were fooled by Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, and they just wanted to increase the power of the cabinet through reform, hoping that Chen Younian would oppose reform.

But Chen Younian decisively refused.

Chen Younian said that this has nothing to do with the cabinet.

When the negotiations failed, the conservatives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately drew a line with Chen Younian, Li Sancai and others.

Their faction is against every change.

Because their faction is dominated by science and Taoist officials, their appeal is to open up their voices and purge the rule of officials.

It sounds like it is very righteous, if you see it from the book, you will definitely think that they are all great virtuous ministers, but in fact, it is not the case, opening up the way of speech, of course, is the most beneficial to the officials, and the rule of the officials is eliminated, which undoubtedly enhances the power of the officials of science and technology.

But if you want to carry out reforms, they will never agree, whether you are for the country and the people, or for yourself, anyway, they just can't do it.

This is all because Zhang Juzheng has taught them a very profound lesson.

Judging from the situation of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to promote reform, you must be a monopoly, otherwise, there will not be enough strength to promote reform, but anyone who can achieve a monopoly must first deal with their officials.

Because reform will inevitably hurt the interests of many people, even some people, and there must be dirty deals behind it, no reform will be above board, and everyone can benefit.

That's bullshit!

As far as the duty of the official is to supervise these ministers, but these officials have to scold them every day, how can they reform?

If we must control public opinion, then the first thing is to suppress the officials.

As far as the elites and interest groups are concerned, of course, they are opposed to reform, but they are not as determined as the conservatives, they are also oriented towards interests, and reform is okay, but it must be changed to be more beneficial to them.

And Shen has always been more embarrassed, he has just entered the cabinet, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold, he wants to participate, and the space he can play is very limited.

But if you can't get involved, your own interests can't be guaranteed.

He was the first to stand up in support of Wanli's reforms.

Sing the praises of Wanli.

The purpose is very simple, that is, to gain Wanli's weight through sycophancy, increase his status in the cabinet, and even become Wanli's spokesperson in the cabinet.

......

Pingjiang Bofu.

Chen Xuan, the first generation of Pingjiang Bo, was also the founder of the country, and his contribution to the management of waterways and water transportation is really unparalleled.

The hereditary line is now in its eighth generation.

The power of their Chen family in Caoyun is also unshakeable.

And Cao Yun is really the most complex interest group in the Ming Dynasty, and basically everything has to do with them.

"Uncle! This matter has now become confusing, whether His Majesty is trying to protect the Grand Canyon, or whether he really wants to reform, but no one can say for sure! Mo Ruoyou, director of the Ministry of Works, said to Pingjiang Bo Chen Yinzhao.

Qin Sheng, a member of the Criminal Department, said: "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, but Wang Xijue's old fox definitely wants to take the opportunity to promote reform, and he is Sima Zhao's heart, which everyone knows." ”

Chen Yinzhao smiled disappreliantly: "He really thinks of himself as Zhang Juzheng, he doesn't have Zhang Juzheng's ability." ”

Mo Ruoyou sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't prepare enough in advance, so that they have now won the support of many poor people, such as Tang Wenwen, Yang Daobin and other young officials also support them, and the momentum is huge, but they can't go on like this." ”

Chen Yinzhao said with a smile: "Now that His Majesty has asked for a reform of the tax law, can we oppose it?" But how to change it, this is not up to him Wang Xijue. They can use litigators to get the support of scholars, and we can also use agricultural taxes to win the support of the people of the world. ”

Mo Ruoyou said curiously: "Your Majesty wants to increase tax revenue, but if the agricultural tax is reduced, the tax revenue will inevitably decrease." ”

"Aren't they talking about business taxes this time?" Chen Yinzhao said with a smile: "Then we propose to increase the commercial tax to reduce the burden on the peasants." ”

Qin Sheng groaned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Uncle's move is really high!" ”

......

A concert by Mo Ruoyou, director of the Ministry of Industry, officially opened the prelude to the reform.

This recital suggested that the imperial court should be sympathetic to the peasants and reduce the agricultural tax, while at the same time increasing the commercial tax to fill the treasury, on the grounds that the merchants were rich and the peasants were poor.

Isn't that what His Majesty is looking forward to?

It not only reduces the burden on the people, but also increases the income of the state treasury.

As for the merchants?

Hehe!

This movement immediately won the support of many people, including a large number of officials who firmly supported the importance of agriculture and the suppression of business, as well as the vast majority of powerful people.

But the opposition is not small, especially the officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who were born in industrial and commercial families since childhood, and they have always prevented the imperial court from increasing commercial taxes.

Wang Xijue and the others haven't opened their mouths yet, and the court has already fought first.

East Pavilion.

"It makes no sense."

Xu Guojiang supported Mo Ruyou's recital, slammed it on the table, and said: "It looks like it is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but as long as you are not blind, you can see their dirty thoughts." Is this to lighten the burden on the people? This is clearly to reduce the burden of those big landlords! ”

Reduce agricultural taxes and reduce the burden on the people.

That's a nice thing to say.

But don't forget that the taxes of those big landlords are also called agricultural taxes, and they wanted to increase the taxes of the magnates, whose property is mainly the fields, and reducing the agricultural taxes is tantamount to enriching the landlords and impoverishing the country.

"Not only that, but they also want to sow discord between us and Your Majesty, because Your Majesty definitely doesn't want to increase business taxes."

Shen Shixing frowned tightly and said, "You have to deal with this matter carefully, if you don't handle it well, you may offend the people of the world and Your Majesty." ”

Wang Xijue said: "Now we still have an advantage, but if we go our own way with Chen Younian, then it will be difficult for us to make a difference, we should not make decisions on our own, but should strengthen communication with Chen Younian and them." ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Chen Younian, I know very well that he has been suggesting that the imperial court should reduce the taxes of the people, and he must talk to them and let them know that the other party does not really want to reduce the taxes of the people." ”

Xu Guodao: "But the other party has already put forward a proposal, and we can't come up with a reform plan, how can we talk to Chen Younian and them." ”

Cao Ke said suddenly: "Xia Guan thinks that if he wants to increase the commercial tax, Guo Dan will definitely not agree." ”

......

A no-tooth line.

"Have you ever bought a horse before?"

Aunt Xu asked Guo Dan.

Guo Dan recalled and said, "I bought it once or twice." ”

Aunt Xu said: "You must have won." ”

Guo Dan said: "I don't remember this very well, why did the layman ask this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "As you wish, there was a commotion in the court." ”

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "The layman is really holding a grudge!" ”

Aunt Xu asked, "Then how are you going to deal with it?" ”

Guo smiled and shook his head: "The layman has asked me this more than once, but my answer is always only one, I just go back and forth, and that is money." ”

Aunt Xu was curious: "Can this also be solved with money?" ”

"Absolutely." Guo Dan said: "In fact, all reforms revolve around money, not morality, but those old men often want to use morality to solve the problem of money, and their failure is inevitable, and only money can solve the problem of money." ”
