At this time, Zhu Cihong was waiting on the Mingyuan floor to read the exam papers with Qian Qianyi, as well as Gong Dingyu and Wu Meicun, the two chief examiners of Enke.

That "tax collection strategy" is the question that he, the prince, personally came up with!

Four books, five classics, eight strands of literature or something, the master who can enter the Jiangnan Gongyuan to participate in the Enke exam will not be too indiscriminate. Of course, there are few really good ones...... Baguwen is still easy to write, but how many people can really be called Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years? It's just Wang Yangming, Chen Baisha, Zhan Ruoshui, and Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Sun Qifeng, and Li Hao. Among them, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi are now working hard in a few corners of the Jiangnan Gongyuan! I don't know if they will scold Zhu Cihong, who is ready to impose strict business taxes?

However, scolding on the exam paper is not what Zhu Cihong is most worried about, what he is most worried about is actually the collective boycott of the candidates - in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi in history, there was a reverse case of "anti-grain crying temple" in Suzhou!

And now the power of the Southeast Doctor is not comparable to the eighteen years of Shunzhi! Now that Zhu Cihong is blatantly leviing business taxes, why not stab the hornet's nest? Although he had made a lot of preparations before, he had smeared and smeared the Tartars in the north, so that they were almost like demons and monsters.

But it can't be ruled out that some individual iron-clad scholars just don't believe in evil? Later, for eighteen years of Shunzhi, there were people crying in the temple, and now it is only eighteen years of Chongzhen, is it really honest?

"Mr. Qian," Zhu Cihong suddenly asked with a smile, "Do you think there will be people boycotting the exam and making trouble today?" ”

Strike?

Qian Qianyi's heart twitched, and he said: As far as your question is concerned, it's normal for someone to strike the exam and make trouble!

"Chitose," he frowned, "the scholar is just angry...... The scholars in Jiangnan do lack some rules, but their intentions are good. ”

"Really?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Mr. Gong, Mr. Wu, what do you think?" ”

What do you think? Gong Dingxiao and Wu Meicun looked at each other, their faces were covered with cold sweat - Qian Qianyi knew that Zhu Cihong was going to launch the topic of "strict taxation of commercial taxes" at the time of the Enke Dabi, but Gong Dingxiao and Wu Meicun only found out about it just now, and now they are extremely anxious!

The two of them are the main exams of Enko this time! Enko came up with such a question, even if it wasn't the two of them, the black pot didn't run. Isn't this a public enemy of Shilin? Not a remnant of the eunuch party?

At present, many scholars and doctors in the southeast are dissatisfied with Zhu Cihong's investigation of the military tun, the official field, and the exemption of taxes for five years. It's just that now the trend of anti-Qing and Baojiao is too strong, and their dissatisfaction is not loud.

But the strict taxation of business taxes is too ruthless, the southeast Jinshi and even some promising talents, who have no businessmen under their names?

If the business tax is to be levied strictly, the income of the big guys will immediately shrink greatly...... Snatching people's wealth is like killing your parents! The scholars in the southeast are all filial sons, so can they bear the hatred of killing their parents?

"Chitose Lord, if there is a boycott and trouble, how should the minister deal with it?" Gong Dingyu knows Zhu Cihong's cruelty too well - he is also a hero of overcoming difficulties! I bought the "Running Order" in Beijing, followed it all the way from Dagukou, and also recruited Qian Qianyi for Prince Zhu to abduct Zheng Damu, and the credit was great, although he was not knighted, he still got hundreds of acres of Xuntian. But along the way, I also saw Zhu Cihong's cunning and ferocity......

He is now afraid that the eldest prince of Zhu will kill in the Jiangnan Gongyuan! Second, I am afraid that I will become the scapegoat of the prince, not that I am afraid that the prince will use his head to anger the people like Chongzhen, but I am afraid that I will become the target of the southeast scholars to vent their resentment!

Zhu Cihong smiled and said nothing, and looked at Wu Weiye and Wu Meicun.

Wu Meicun also served as Zhu Cihong's teacher in his early years, but in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he was transferred to the Nanjing Guozijian Division, and when he saw the cunning and murderous Prince Zhu again in seventeen years, he was a little unrecognizable.

Now he is as anxious as Gong Dingxiao, his background is not as good as Gong Dingxiao, he is a hero who overcomes difficulties!

"His Royal Highness the Prince," Wu Meicun gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Although the matter of donation will cause the loss of taxes, it can also support the scholarly family, so that the southeast is too safe and stable......

Zhu Cihong smiled: "It's okay, the Tartars won't go south for a while, and the 100,000 new troops in this palace are useless!" ”

What the? Is this going on a killing spree? Wu Meicun was cold again and again, and said in his heart: Outside the Jiangnan Gongyuan, there won't be an ambush of firecrackers, right?

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Maybe the scholars are willing to pay business taxes?" Mr. Wu, you are a scholar, are you willing to pay business tax? ”

"The minister......" Wu Meicun stammered, "The minister's family doesn't do business......"

Serious business is not done, but there are many businessmen and landlords in Taicang Prefecture who deposit their industries and land in the name of Wu Weiye, and pay a lot of protection fees every year!

"Really?" Zhu Cihong nodded and smiled, "Then the palace will rest assured!" The palace originally wanted to say hello to the Suzhou Mansion Inspector Yushi Jikun and Pu Guanshui, but now it seems that there is no need for it. ”

Don't! The greeting that should be called is still to be called!

Wu Meicun listened to Zhu Cihong's words, and his whole body trembled. What kind of person is Ji Kun! is a well-known cool official, and when he was in Huaiyang Second Mansion to check Tian Qingtun, I don't know how many military scholars and doctors were forced to go bankrupt!

And Pu Guanshui is not a good person, he is from a family of guards of the Hengwang Mansion, and he has the title of hereditary commander. Later, he went south with King Heng, and when he was in Yangzhou, he was recruited by Zhang Shize into the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the right class to supervise the imperial history, and he was also a cool official. It was found that Huaiyang Zhuwei cried for his father and called his mother.

Now that they've both gone to Suzhou, what are they going to do? Is it necessary to investigate the official fields, military tuns, and commercial tax problems in Suzhou?

When Wu Meicun didn't know how to beg Zhu Cihong for mercy, there was already chaos in the examination booth downstairs in Mingyuan.

Sure enough, some candidates who couldn't write good essays began to make trouble! Zhu Cihong's questions are not easy to answer, and not everyone has the certainty of ironclad high schools such as Huang Zongxi and Luo Dagong.

Since you can't win, why not make a scene in the tribute courtyard? Maybe you can earn a little bit of Shilin popularity!

The first to make trouble was Su Jin, a man from Suzhou, whose family was a big businessman who opened a weaving workshop in Suzhou, with hundreds of looms, and his father had a share of the Gexian Rebellion during the Wanli period! And he knew about that anti-tax struggle when he was a child!

Back then, it was still a peaceful and prosperous era, and the tax supervisors sent by the old emperor of Wanli did not dare to deprive the readers of the tax exemption benefits, so they were disgraced, not to mention now?

It is true that the prince has soldiers, but he really dares to kill in the Jiangnan Tribute Academy? He really doesn't want a Southeast Reader?
