When Wei Zhongxian finished reading it, the ministers in the Jinluan Palace did not look very good-looking, especially the faces of the officials from Jiangnan were so black that they could scrape off a few layers of frost, and the faces of Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen, and Han Yi were also frowned.

The officials present are all people who have read poetry and books, and there is no one whose IQ is not online.

Of course, in all fairness, as long as this method is implemented, it will not take three years for the Ming Dynasty's treasury to become full again, and the tight days of the past will be gone forever.

But are they happy? Of course I can't be happy.

As the saying goes, the butt decides the head, and what the court loses after the gain is the interests of the official gentry class, especially the abolition of the privileges of scholars and officials is even more unacceptable to them.

What is the so-called origin of ten years of hard work? Isn't it expected that the high school jinshi Guangzong Yaozu will be promoted to an official and make a fortune, and then become rich and rich? It is good that the privilege of exempting the scholars is gone, and they are even required to serve as conscription as those mud-legged people, which is simply an insult to them.

After being silent for a while, a young official in a green robe stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is the Imperial History Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I have something to ask the Duke of Xinguo!" ”

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment and said lightly: "Accurate!" ”

Si Xuezhen strode forward, came to a place three or four meters away from Yang Feng, glared at Yang Feng and said sharply: "For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place and the stars arch over." His Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and he should follow the ancestral system to govern the world, and the reason why Taizu set the rule of exempting corporal from taxation is to let the people of the world have books to read and educate all the people.

And now you, Yang Feng, are going to abolish the rules set by Taizu as soon as you move your mouth, are you going to trap Your Majesty in injustice? It is a shame that a treacherous and greedy person like you can actually stand on the Jinluan Palace! ”

After that, Si Xuezhen knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao and sobbed: "Your Majesty, Yang Feng is a demon to confuse the public, if according to this statement, the officials and gentry in the world will collect taxes, then the world will be in chaos, please ask Your Majesty to kill this fang to correct the law of the country!" Ah......h

As soon as Si Xuezhen finished speaking, he saw a black shadow appear in front of him and quickly became larger, and then only heard a bang, accompanied by a terrible scream, Si Xuezhen's whole person turned backwards and made a heel fight, his back slammed on the ground and made a heavy sound, and the whole person screamed loudly in pain.

Before everyone could react, they saw Yang Feng walk up to Si Xuezhen and grab his arm and twist it to his back, and said loudly: "Where is the Han general, this person wants to assassinate His Majesty in front of the palace, hurry up and take it down, punish his nine clans, and correct the law of the country!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they saw Yang Feng's magical operation, and then they reacted, Han Yi stood up and shouted angrily at Yang Feng: "Xin Guogong, what do you want to do at the moment of the Son of Heaven?" Don't hurry up and put people down. ”

Yang Feng paused for a moment, "Lord Han, I didn't do anything, this guy wants to assassinate His Majesty, I am taking him down, please Your Majesty punish him for the Nine Clans!" ”

"I'm grass!" At this time, even Wei Zhongxian gave Yang Feng a thumbs up psychologically, and our family thought that he was ruthless enough on weekdays, but like you, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, our family will not be able to learn it even if it is another hundred years.

"Fart!"

Han Yi couldn't help but shout angrily anymore: "Are you blind when Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty are both blind people, which eye do you see that he is going to assassinate Your Majesty?" Do you believe that the Duke of the Kingdom will command the bloody mouth to spray people and frame them? ”

"Hehe......" Yang Feng smiled, a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "Framed and framed, this guy said that I was lying to confuse the public, and I want to ask Your Majesty to kill me to correct the law of the country, isn't this a frame-up?"

Lord Han, you pat your conscience in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty, is what Shicai Bengong said good or bad for my Ming Dynasty, if you really want to implement it, will it be good for the people of the world, can you increase the taxes of the imperial court? ”

As soon as Yang Feng said this, Han Yi stopped talking, as a person who has been up and down for most of his life, of course he knows that Yang Feng is right, if he really wants to implement the policy of one errand and one food according to what Yang Feng said, let alone three years, he can be sure that it only takes one to two years to solve the dilemma of the imperial court's financial embarrassment.

But some things are like this, not that if there are benefits, they will definitely be implemented, because of the prosperous economy in Jiangnan, the taxes paid are much higher than in the north, which makes the officials and gentry from Jiangnan have more confidence in the face of the imperial court.

Now Yang Feng suddenly said that he wanted to implement the integration of the errand and the payment of grain, which is simply digging the roots of these Jiangnan gentry, even a cabinet elder like Han Yi did not dare to easily express his position in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, so he could only shut his mouth and be dumb.

Seeing that Han Yi didn't speak, Yang Feng looked at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the world was at the beginning of peace, and the annual tax income of the Ming Dynasty was still more than eight million taels, and then gradually increased to more than ten million.

During the Yongle period, the world was peaceful, and the taxes of the Ming Dynasty increased to 20 million taels. But then the Ming Dynasty's taxes gradually decreased, and as of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the Ming taxes of Nuoda were only more than five million taels.

Hahaha...... Ladies and gentlemen, all of you are well-read poetry and books, can you tell me what is going on? ”

Yang Feng's voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace, but everyone in the hall lowered their heads, no one said a word, even Si Xuezhen, who was knocked to the ground by Yang Feng's punch and was just about to get up, lay on the ground again, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Yang Feng's fierce gaze swept over everyone: "You don't know, or don't you dare to answer?" ”

There was still silence in the Jinluan Palace, and nearly a thousand people were collectively silent, and Yang Feng said loudly: "Okay, if you don't say it, then I'll talk about it." The reason why taxes are so small is because almost eighty percent of the land in the Ming Dynasty fell into the pockets of the rich gentry, that is, you officials.

But the fields are not people, they do not give birth, the rich gentry occupy a little more, and the people have less land in their hands. But the officials and gentry are exempt from taxes, so the taxes that the court can collect are becoming less and less, not only that, but those businessmen also think about tax evasion and tax avoidance by the law, and do everything possible to make the court tax-free on the grounds of not competing with the people, which also leads to less and less taxes in the imperial court.

Or can any adult stand up and point out the shortcomings of my father? ”

After a long time, a voice came out in the hall: "But tax exemption for officials and gentry is a rule set by Emperor Taizu." ”
