The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter Ninety-Four Monarchs and Ministers Talk
It is a big event for the emperor to come to the courtier's mansion, although he is out of the palace without permission, he also needs to prepare in advance, and there must be a secret guard in the palace in advance to check whether there is a chaotic party or something, and whether there are any unknown people in the family.
Chen Ye had already prepared at home, all the things that should be hidden were hidden, and even the people who protected him were temporarily withdrawn to prevent anything from being discovered, and waited wholeheartedly for His Majesty to bring it.
The emperor was a little annoyed by the assassination of the family, and Chen Ye knew that it was not because his life was valuable, but because the assassination of the family had revealed the family's terrifying strength and huge influence, and the ambitions of some officials were also happily exposed. There is no way to talk to any minister about this matter, because every word the emperor says in the palace may reach the ears of the family.
The family knew that the emperor would gradually attack the family and would find ways to reduce the influence of the family, and the family would definitely resist or even distort the policies of the imperial court, and would prepare in advance. The state is no longer allowed to continue in turmoil, the country needs to recuperate, and it needs to raise soldiers so that it can one day solve the problem of the barbarians. The people on both sides have a good heart, and while they are accumulating strength, they are now sharpening their knives.
Chen Ye's arrival is an unknown change for the family and the emperor, and Chen Ye has changed the family's strategy. The hidden power is gradually revealed, Chen Ye is not a corrupt Confucian, he does things without rules and regulations, and he is ruthless, he is a sharp weapon for treating the family, so the emperor wants to see Chen Ye and talk in detail.
"Long live my emperor, long live" Chen Ye was just about to kneel down.
His Majesty directly blocked Chen Ye's kneeling posture with a fan and tapped Chen Ye's shoulder.
"Get up, it's not in the palace"
Chen Ye stood up and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to serve tea, in order to satisfy the wish of the green ring first, the desire to see the green ring was very simple to see the emperor, this time the green ring directly brought the tea up, looking at the emperor from the corner of his eyes. After all, after coming to the capital for so many days, it is said that the emperor is the son of heaven, and Luhuan has always wanted to meet him.
This kind of person, the emperor has seen a lot, and he doesn't think about it.
"Knowing that you have been assassinated many times, you are not injured" Emperor Han Qing cared about whether Chen Ye was injured or not, although he knew the answer, he still had to ask, showing his amiable side.
"I don't understand the tax law you proposed in the excerpt last time, in the past, farmers paid taxes, why do merchants pay taxes now?" This is a strange idea, since most of the country's tax revenue comes from agriculture.
"Your Majesty, do you think businessmen are rich or farmers are rich" Chen Ye threw back a question.
"Of course the businessmen have money"
"Then you collect money from the poor, of course the poor are getting poorer and poorer, the rich will only get richer and richer, the gap between the rich and the poor will get bigger and bigger, the country will be in turmoil, you should collect taxes from the rich, let the rich or businessmen give more money, and the state will transfer this money to the poor people, and the state will rule for a long time." Chen Ye's words were very different from what the ministers said, and the ministers advocated taxing the peasants and refused to accept the taxes of the merchants.
Chen Ye saw that the emperor was thinking, and continued: "Your Majesty, businessmen make more money, our officials in Zhongshan Kingdom, which one has no business, which one is very poor, we can levy income tax on the rich or businessmen, the simple point is that businessmen have to pay taxes for every transaction, and they must have a transaction certificate issued by the government to carry out the next step. ”
"This will be more pressure, and all the officials will definitely oppose the matter" The emperor knows that it is difficult to implement this directly, and this will also touch the interests of many millet shrimp below, and the whole country will oppose this matter.
"Let's do it slowly, little by little, first to reform without pain, slowly go deeper, for the reform of all the people we use newcomers" Chen Ye gave his different opinions.
After Chen Ye finished speaking, the emperor felt that this matter was indeed feasible, but for the gradual abolition of large-scale taxation in agriculture and the large-scale taxation of commerce, it still could not be transformed for a while. Knowing the emperor's difficulties, for a time it was completely opposite to what he had been exposed to since childhood.
"Your Majesty, you can pilot it in the capital, our chamber of commerce is willing to be the first" Chen Ye's words made Emperor Han Qing start to think carefully about the feasibility, and found that this method is completely feasible, as long as it can be promoted in Beijing, the rest of the country will definitely be able to implement it.
"You write a recital, and you elaborate" The emperor wants to know the specific implementation method, after all, this has not happened in this country for many years, this is an unprecedented idea.
"Your Majesty, which one of the chiefs has too much money to fund ......" The rest of Chen Ye will not be said, Emperor Han Qing must know what Chen Ye means.
However, for the Chamber of Commerce to start paying taxes, Chen Ye has already thought about it, and he wants to give the emperor a taste of sweetness, roughly the Chamber of Commerce's monthly profit is several million, and if he pays taxes, he will also need thirty or forty thousand silver a month. Then add the whole country to the calculation, it will be an astronomical amount.
Since it is a commercial tax, it can't be squeezed too hard, the next step is to encourage commerce, and there are some measures that need to be communicated with the emperor. This involves a lot of people's conceptual conflicts, and they need to grind their lips again.
"Chen Ye accompany me to fish" The emperor suddenly said such a sentence, Chen Ye was very puzzled, why did he suddenly get on top of fishing.
There is no way for Chen Ye to prepare something for fishing, but this thing is completely an excuse, Chen Ye will roughly prepare, just find a pond at random, Chen Ye must have fish in the water. It's a pity that Chen Ye's mind is not on fishing, he directly put the hook into the water, and he didn't care, he just picked up a book and read it.
"You fish and read books, how can you catch a fish" Emperor Han Qing looked at Chen Ye like this, and said thoughtfully.
"It's yours after all, it's yours, it's useless to rob it if it's not yours, right?" Chen Ye said in his words.
"Yes, it's a pity that many people don't know, I'll be fine if my sons are like you"
"That's not a good situation, you'll be scared when the time comes" Chen Ye's words made the emperor a little congested, and if you think about it carefully, it's true that if there is a prince who is too capable, it is also a kind of trouble to seem that he is very general.
"Do you have any good ways to deal with the family?" The emperor wanted to see if Chen Ye had any high opinions.
"Look at you, do you dare to recite the infamy of a faint monarch" Chen Ye looked at Emperor Han Qing in a daze.
"If you can succeed, what's the harm in reciting it once, you can first tell me what good way you have it?" Emperor Han Qing didn't go on a blind date, what good way could Chen Ye do.
"I want to set up a department with the power to supervise hundreds of officials, and engage in activities such as investigation, arrest, and interrogation. There is also the work of collecting military information and plotting against enemy generals, this department directly obeys the emperor's orders, and this department can arrest anyone, including the emperor's relatives and relatives, and conduct closed interrogations" After the emperor heard this, the fishing rod in his hand was directly broken.
The emperor looked at the water and kept thinking, and after listening to what Chen Ye said, he suddenly found that this thing was a sharp sword in the emperor's hand.
"This is a double-edged sword, it depends on who holds the sword and how to hold the sword," Chen Ye continued.
Jinyiwei is like a bloodthirsty knife, as long as this knife is born, it can't stop, he will always suck blood, so that hundreds of officials are afraid, this is a knife hanging over the heads of officials and families, the emperor can do whatever he wants, no one can stop it, this is this knife is not so easy to grasp.
"You're responsible?" Emperor Han Qing was skeptical.
"I'm not responsible, I don't care" Chen Ye first put aside himself, joking, he would never touch this thing, he was in charge of Jinyiwei, and it was estimated that he had a falling out with the civil and military officials, and the boss of Jinyiwei could only be a lonely minister, what is a lonely minister, that is, he has no friends.
"Then you can recommend one to me?"
"Lu Allied Army, this person is simple-minded, he doesn't have much of a conspiracy, but it's a good thing"
"It's not good if it's too simple" Emperor Han Qing took the intelligence list handed over by Gonggong Zhou, which contained all the information and materials of the Lu Allied Army, including personal hobbies, what problems and so on.
"Where's Grandpa Zhou?"
"No, the eunuch is loyal, the power is too big and the country is misleading, and it generally does not end well, and I will be reused by the eunuch at that time. However, the use of eunuchs is still very great, and when you have to do it in the future, you will set up a department as a last resort" Chen Ye directly said his views in front of Zhou Gonggong, said his views fairly, and also left a way out for the eunuchs, this way out is a department that Chen Ye does not want to come out of, Dongchang.
"You value eunuchs very much" Emperor Han Qing said strangely, although Han Qing has always regarded Zhou Gonggong as his half friend, and he has never touched the power of Zhou Gonggong, and he firmly guarded the final bottom line.
"Yes, it doesn't count" Chen Ye gave an ambiguous answer.
"I'm caught a fish" Chen Ye directly lifted the fishing rod, a big fish was directly hooked, Chen Ye took the fishing rod and kept fishing on the shore.
"I've also been hit" Emperor Han Qing suddenly lifted the fishing rod, although this fishing rod was only half a section, it still did not delay the fishing.
"Your Majesty, the big fish must be well sliding, and when it is exhausted, it can be brought up, otherwise the rope or fishing rod is easy to break, and the Jinyiwei can also be cleaned slowly, breaking the family still has to rely on the imperial examination, and more outstanding talents will come out of the cold door, and Zhongshan will leave more and more, and reduce talents without sticking to one pattern" Chen Ye said thoughtfully.
"I'm very happy today, you have a part-time job in Jinyiwei's affairs, I'm more at ease when you do things" The emperor left happily, leaving Chen Ye speechless, he has enough part-time official positions, and he still has to work part-time, does the emperor feel that he is doing too leisurely, and the emperor doesn't like it?
