Chapter 209: Two Things (Medium)

Sensing that there was a trend of wanting to deviate from the affairs of the Great Dynasty Conference, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly spoke.

"Okay, today is a discussion, there is no need to praise the right and wrong, I haven't finished talking yet."

In addition to being sycophants, the most fundamental reason for these two things is that even if the court collects grain, what is the structure of their family?

Hu Guang is a second-generation official, and his family also has private property in addition to hundreds of acres of fine Jiangxi paddy fields, and he does not rely on grain production to survive at all, so he doesn't care.

Xu Buji is completely a poor literati, and the dozens of acres of land under his name are all used to avoid taxes by the neighbors and villagers after he became a lifter, in other words, his relatives and neighbors around him are responsible for cultivating the land to support him, and his task all day long is to study.

Whether the court collects grain taxes or not has a fart relationship with the two of them, and it is typical to stand and talk without back pain.

"Old Yu Ge."

After sending the two of them to shut up, Zhu Yunwen looked at Yu Xin, and said in a deep voice: "You grasp the financial revenue and expenditure of the imperial court, how much does my Ming Dynasty earn a year, and I have been in my heart for so many years, do you want to come and talk to the big guy?" ”

Yu Xin, who was named, was a little disgusting.

How many tax-free fields and how many officials' salaries are in the world, he knows better than anyone else, if these fields are all taxed, he also knows in his heart how much more the annual income of the Ming Dynasty will be.

That's an astronomical amount!

Those low-level officials who only have 10 or 20 acres of thin fields at home may not feel that there is anything wrong with taking advantage of the state in their daily lives, but if they see the sum, they will also unnaturally give birth to a feeling: "If those poor grain conferences are willing to pay, I am also willing to pay." ”

"Yu Ge doesn't know or doesn't want to say?"

Facing Zhu Yunwen's gaze, Yu Xin suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

He suddenly remembered that a few years ago in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yunwen, who had just ascended the throne at that time, asked them to talk about land annexation, and Zhu Yunwen at that time was worried about the country and the people, and talked to them about the disadvantages of annexation and the maladministration of the imperial court.

Today, after a lapse of four years, the emperor mentioned this matter from another angle, but time has passed, and the emperor does not talk to them about the hidden worries of those high-altitude buildings, but directly stabs them in the heart!

Yu Xin swallowed his saliva, he knew that he had no way back now.

The current Zhu Yunwen is not the imperial grandson who just ascended the throne a few years ago, and the current public opinion is not the public opinion that a few years ago was decided by their scholar class.

"All ancestors who oppose the emperor are traitors."

This bullshit public opinion has long been brought into the ditch, entirely because of the good deeds done by the old Kong family.

This is a family of hardcore traitors, Lao Kong took the lead in opposing the decisive role played by the imperial power to the country, which directly affected them, the officials in the court.

At this juncture, even if you are not afraid of death, you must unswervingly support the emperor for the sake of your reputation.

"Tell me what the minister knows."

Yu Xin sighed in his heart, and stood up for the train and replied: "According to the year-end total of last year, the number of tax-free fields and vocational fields reported by the local government is 900,000 hectares, and the amount of grain harvested in a year is about 16 million stones. ”

Since Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, everyone's eyelids jumped suddenly.

This is a number that no one can believe.

"And that number may not even be half."

The left and right are all pots that smash everyone's dinner, and Yu Xin is also a ruthless person, so he simply shook the bottom out at one time.

"The local provincial government follows the grain chief system, and generally will not be easily changed to survey, that is to say, in the matter of measuring the land, it is often re-measured once in a few years, and often in this time, the number of newly reclaimed acres of land will be hung out by the people, landlords and gentry, and the county Shen level of the countryside, how many new fields, the county report or not, the provincial government does not know, the central government naturally does not know."

Yu Xin still has one sentence that he hasn't said, that is, the province may not necessarily ask if he knows.

The provincial government has a two-level grain chief system, and the more new fields mean that the grain chief has to subsidize the deficit of the treasury, and the gentry in these places can't bear it, and the family runs away, and the prefect of that government will sit on the spot!

Who will he find to make up for the poor food?

Once the treasury and household departments find that the grain in the treasury is not enough, they will be killed directly!

So let's help each other and hide a little if you can.

"Listen, listen."

Zhu Yunwen laughed angrily, this was really the first time he knew about this invisible deficit.

Although he had a vague understanding of this number before, and felt that the number of duty-free fields in Quan Daming would not be small, but after he really opened the true face of Lushan from Yu Xin's mouth, he still felt a tingling on his face.

"The household department told me every day that the treasury had no money and the deficit was too great. said that I was reckless in military force and rejoiced in my achievements, and I recognized all of them. Because the court has a loss, the root is indeed from me, and I don't defend it.

But if it weren't for Elder Yu Ge standing up and saying today, I really didn't know that I would have lost tens of millions of stone of grain in a year! ”

The people, who occupy only half of the world's land, pay the world's grain and serve the world's labor.

This is still the early Ming Dynasty.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, land annexation became more and more serious, and how much blood did the people have enough blood for the imperial court to squeeze and exploit?

Or do you learn from Jiajing and Wanli, and collect all the taxes decades later in advance? After that, change the name, and then increase the tax?

"I would like to ask you all the learned people today: Is it true that the total number of your jobs and fields has not been exceeded?"

The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly knelt down, each in a cold sweat.

How much shit is under someone's ass, only their own hearts are mirrored.

And there are only a few people who didn't kneel, it seems that a few people in the cabinet stood straight, and the new secretary Zhu Gaochi didn't kneel either.

"Since the minister took up his post as a scholar of Fengtiandian University, he has already had a high level of income and has no worries about food and clothing for his family, and there is no need to buy land and property."

At this time, it was to support the emperor, so Yang Shiqi, the head of the dynasty, stood up.

"If the minister follows the system to purchase the top amount of 1,000 acres of professional farmland, the imperial court will lose nearly 100 stone of grain tax a year, which can support three armored soldiers, and these three armored soldiers can protect dozens of my Ming people in the frontier, this account, the minister understands it in his heart."

Look at the consciousness of other people!

Regardless of whether Zhu Yunwen is now more and more disgusted with Yang Shiqi, who is too smart, but above the court, he is absolutely inseparable from the latter.

"Your Majesty stopped the mausoleum and added the world's officials and officials, and added the officials, which is enough for us and other ministers to support our families. The whole world is not the king's land, even His Majesty can be dedicated to the world's common people, we boast of reading the books of the sages, if we don't even have this bit of shame, how can we be clever and tongue-in-the-blue? ”

Xie Jin walked out with his head held high, and echoed: "So the minister, please: from now on, all tax exemptions and employment fields should be abolished!" ”

In his opinion, the last privilege of the so-called scholar class should also come to the end of history.

Since the liberation of Jin, nearly eighty percent of the officials in the court have rushed to express their support, and have echoed the request to the emperor to abolish tax exemption and employment fields. And in the end, those officials who were dripping blood from their hearts, saw that everyone spoke up, and they had no choice but to bury their heads in ashes.

You bastards, betraying the sacrosanct bureaucratic class that has been stepping on the heads of mustard for thousands of years!

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di at this time as a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

"On the day when the privileges of the family are abolished, isn't Your Majesty afraid that the whole world will oppose it?"

God and man are angry, and the whole world is against it?

Today, Zhu Yunwen unswervingly took this step, but what he saw was a cluster of flowers and flattery.

In addition to being angry in his heart, who is not angry in his heart, who stands up and plays those bullshit resignation routines to force the palace?

"Since all the officials are dedicated to petitioning for the world and for the public of the imperial court, the General Administration Department will draft an edict, and the Tianxia Mansion and Qiushi will be issued in the Ming Dynasty, and both will be published and recorded."

Raise a pinch of loess on the grave of the bureaucratic class, and then jump on it and trample on him!

Zhu Yunwen confirmed the mastermind of this matter in one sentence, and the culprit of the abolition of tax exemption and employment is the Beijing official headed by Yang Shiqi!

He Zhu Yunwen just asked how much tax-free land there was in the world and how much there was a deficit in the national treasury, but he didn't take the initiative to say that he wanted to abolish this rule.

Yu Xin reported the real number himself, an astronomical large number, and then Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin stood up and took the initiative to propose, and hundreds of officials collectively echoed the petition, where can this black pot be deducted from Zhu Yunwen's head?

The wood is already in the boat, and the reputation is stinky anyway, so you either don't do this kind of thing, or you have to do it to the end!

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, ran out and took the initiative to ask Ying to propose.

"The ministers ask for a discussion and re-establish the provincial capitals."

Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them all!

This is exactly the same as the land inventory plan that Zhu Yunwen envisioned to implement.

It's just that the movement is much smaller.

Xia Yuanji is only talking about the provincial government level, and Zhu Yunwen plans to sink one level more, not to the township, but to the county!

"Okay, that's right."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Xia Yuanji and said a suggestion that made everyone's eyebrows beat wildly.

"The number of officials responsible for auditing in this part of the household department is not enough, one saves thirty people and can't check it, and if you go to a hundred people, there are not so many people in the household department, so let's divide it evenly, I let the military guards of the five military governments and local governments cooperate, and while checking the officials of the household department, I will teach them by the way, and engage in a work to lead learning."

The emperor is holding a knife and forcing them to measure it on their necks.

Everyone heard the meaning of Zhu Yunwen's words.

If the household department takes the investigation, and if you want to play soft resistance, the five military governments will dare to kill people!

Xia Yuanji received the order, and now that the matter is over, then simply go all the way to the dark.

"The first thing is said and done, let's talk about the second thing."

Zhu Yunwen abruptly changed the topic: "Fang Xiaoru was beheaded for disobedience, and the position of the cabinet minister is vacant, who will make up for it?" ”

Everyone's attention was suddenly drawn by Zhu Yunwen's words.
