Chapter 25: Wang Zaijin enters the cabinet

At dusk.

The eunuch who came to deliver tea was stopped by the Jinyi Wei Baihu outside the door, and soon, two bowls of Hangzhou Longjing were brought to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao took the tea and took a sip of it, and said, "Give Wang Aiqing a bowl too, it should be the same as mine." ”

Wang Zaijin hurriedly stood up, took the tea from Jinyiwei's hand, took a sip and put it back on the table, and said: "If the emperor wants to reap the results of the policy of exempting the tax, he must set up an inspection agency, otherwise with the current situation, the tax will be exempted for three years, and it will be just empty talk." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Isn't the factory guard enough?" ”

Wang Zaijin shook his head: "Back to the emperor, in addition to the factory guard, it is still necessary to set up an inspector's office, select trustworthy people, and put them on the surface." ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, indeed, at this time, the policy promulgated by the upper side is basically useless, there is a policy at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.

Although the land of Huaibei has been exempted from taxation for three years, whether the local government has collected or confiscated it, Zhu Youxiao really has no way of knowing, and the only channel is the factory guard.

Zhu Youxiao knew that this Wang Zaijin was also from Donglin, but he had his own set of methods for doing things, and these views put forward were all against the Donglin Party, so he could be put on top of him.

Lifting Wang Zaijin, who was born in Donglin, and suppressing the Donglin Party, this drama makes people think it should be very interesting when they think about it.

Although the current situation is not very good, there is a solution, which is to spread the land into acres.

Then again, just a few months after he succeeded to the throne, even an ordinary Huaibei land could not be exempted from taxation for three years, and he still said something like a large-scale reform like spreading the land into the mu.

There is a premise that is needed to pave the way into the mu, at least the will of oneself to go down can be immediate and effective, otherwise it is equivalent to exposing one's hole cards in advance.

This needs to be taken step by step, and it is impossible to eat a fat person directly.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao drank all the Longjing tea in front of him in one go, and a smile appeared on his face, it seems that he needs to compete with the world's largest profit group in Huaibei.

This three-year exemption has to be given to the people in real relief, otherwise what I, the emperor, said will not work, who will be slapped in the face?

Late that night, Zhu Youxiao sent Wang Zaijin back to the Qianqing Palace.

The next day, the celebrant Bingbi Wang Tiqian spread the news that the long-awaited Apocalypse Dynasty would be held again, but it was not an early dynasty, but a late dynasty.

This time, all the civil officials who heard the news exploded.

I thought that the Emperor of the Apocalypse would learn from his grandfather, Emperor Shenzong, and not go to court for another thirty years, but I didn't expect that he would compromise on the court so soon.

This is a good signal for civil officials, and Zhu Youxiao knows it.

Does Zhu Youxiao want to go to court?

It's not interesting to watch these people play at home, but if you don't make it clear in the court, it's not okay.

The court meeting, once in a while, still has to go back so once.

Before Zhu Youxiao arrived at the Huangji Palace, he heard the "buzzing" discussion in the hall, but just like the elementary school teachers in later generations walking into a noisy classroom, as soon as he walked in, he immediately became silent.

There are many, just the mountain cry of "Long live the emperor" of civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" Zhu Youxiao had just sat down, and his buttocks had not yet been completely touched, so Yang Lian took a step forward and raised his head and said, "The minister wants to impeach the celebrant of ceremonies-"

"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao interrupted: "I also have something to say to Zhongqing, is your words important, or is my holy decree important?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Lian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly a few times and said, "Wang Tiqian, announce the decree!" ”

The person who stood up to announce the decree this time surprised the ministers, the former celebrant and supervisor Wang An was gone, and it was not Wei Zhongxian, who had been full of turmoil recently, but Wang Tiqian, who had returned from Liaodong not long ago.

Wang An has recently become unwell and is recuperating at home.

Wang Tiqian took out the holy decree, took two steps forward and spread it out in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:

I heard that after the exemption from the endowment, the old endowment of the land of Huaibei was collected, and I hated it. From now on, the whole country will breed people and never give more!

In addition, it is strictly forbidden for officials and businessmen to collude, wantonly raise prices, evade tariffs and other behaviors.

Jiangnan and other places were set up to undertake the supervision and supervision department, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the children of large families and magnates evaded taxes, and Xu Xianchun, the governor of Jinyi Weidu, served as the ambassador of supervision.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Customs Supervision Department was set up, and Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Weidu, was appointed as the supervising ambassador.

Restore the test method, open the capital!

Promoted to Wang Zaijin as the secretary of the ministry, and the right servant of the household department, a scholar of the Jindong Pavilion, a cabinet assistant, a confidential participant, and presided over Jingcha. Chin this! ”

When this series of wills was finished, the court became silent.

However, before they could react and protest, Zhu Youxiao swept the hall with cold eyes, got up and left directly.

This set of smooth operations, the ministers below are all stupid.

If they could choose again, they no longer wanted Zhu Youxiao, a kid who had just become the emperor, to have any court meetings, so they would let him go to Nanhaizi and Jingjun to play in the mud.

What kind of business is this!

In the last court, after announcing the decree, he patted his ass and left, and the big guys discussed this matter for a long time, and before Wei Zhongxian could operate it, the court meeting was over.

It wasn't a big deal, it was the content of the decree that they couldn't believe.

Everyone knows about the collusion between officials and businessmen in private, but now it is directly brought out and written on the holy decree, and what supervision department is going to be set up to investigate in Huaibei, and even more excessively, it is even more excessive to let Jinyiwei investigate!

Can that find out the good results? Even if you don't do anything, you can do a bunch of things for Cha Cheng!

More importantly, why did the previous decree of exemption from taxation pass the cabinet, because the channels for people to make money at the bottom have not been affected.

According to the meaning of this will, the boundaries of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty will never be granted, and there is nothing to do it, so as not to still be your royal money.

But what is the supervision department in the back, Jiangnan, Beijing and Hangzhou are all set up, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is investigated, and it is still Jinyiwei who presides!

Doesn't this cut off the financial resources of all of us?

......

I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it.

Wang Zaijin went to various places in Gyeonggi to check the storage of grain and grain warehouses, and found that there was almost no grain left in the hands of the people of Gyeonggi at this stage.

The situation should not be much better everywhere, and if there is a sudden drop in the harvest of the fields in one year, it may directly turn into a great famine!

According to the results of this year's fiscal revenue and expenditure submitted by the Ministry of Households, the current income of the Ming Dynasty is also negative, not only did not make money, but owed a lot of foreign debts!

Where does this money lie?

The bulk is the military salaries and grain salaries of the towns on the nine borders, and the Liao salaries are subject to a tax of nine cents of land, but the money is not received, but it gives the gentry, merchants, and officials in various places a chance to make money, which makes the people even more miserable.

Zhu Youxiao, who returned to Xinuan Pavilion, sighed, the imperial court has no money and no food, and although he still has some internal money, it is not such a flower.

At present, the Ming Dynasty urgently needs to open up sources and reduce expenditures and spread the land into the mu, as long as these two things are done, the Ming Dynasty will be saved.

It really needs to be checked, and if you don't check, you don't know what's going on right now.

The people have no surplus food in their hands, and in addition to the exemption, the existing heavy taxes must also be abolished, such as the nine cents of the Liao salary that the eggs do not have.

Can't get the money and keep it for the New Year?

Thinking of this, Zhu You said to Wang Tiqian, who was standing aside: "Spread the edict to exempt the national nine-centimeter field tax that has been levied since the forty-sixth year of Wanli, and on the original basis, each mu of land will be reduced by three centimeters. ”

"When the Beijing-Hangzhou Tariff Supervision Department is completed, according to the size of the goods and ships, an additional 60% tariff will be levied on each ship, which will go directly to the internal treasury without going through the account."
