After taking the court document and looking at it, Zhu Houzhao smiled, and then read: "Strike the redundant officials, the internal government indiscriminately collects military craftsmen, the Qingteng Xiang four guard warriors, stop the temple and watch the Jiao, the provincial servants, painters, and monks supply, ban the royal mansion and weave the indiscriminate begging salt, and order the company to levy the rent of Zhuang Tian." ”

Looking up at his father, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "This is good! That's good, Father, look at it, all staring at Father! ”

The warcraftsman of the inner house, to put it bluntly, is it not the palace Ouchi who makes things, there must be corruption in this, but can't it be solved by simply cutting out craftsmen? Then the Imperial Palace Ouchi still can't do things? If you go out to buy, Zhu Houzhao can only hehe, there may not be anything dirty in the purchase! Clean up the Tengxiang Four Guards warriors, let alone clean up, they can't wait to be dismissed, anyway, the emperor's personal guards, it's good to be gone.

Stop the temple and watch the Jiao, the province waiters, painters, and monks are supplied, and the temple in front of the temple is Jiao, many of these things are the concubines and the queen mother of the harem, these women are doing, you save these things, what should the women of the harem do? Zhu Youzhu dares to do this? Zhu Houzhao felt scared when he thought about it, and Zhu Houzhao felt that Zhu Youzhu didn't have the courage to do it. As for the supply of waiters, painters, and monks in the province, to put it bluntly, it is a good fortune and less expenditure.

How many waiters, painters, and monks are there? Why didn't they ask for a reduction in the salaries of civil servants? Anyway, it's to deduct money from the emperor, you are the emperor, don't spend money, you stay like a clay wooden tire!

How much can Zhu Youzhu, the emperor, cost? His concubine is a queen Zhang, not even another woman, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River, repaired gardens, bought antiques, spent all kinds of money, and left his son a family as big as Shen after his death, and the economy of the Qing Dynasty was also stretched thin like the Ming Dynasty! Where did all the food and money in the world go? Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as having completely seen the shamelessness of these people.

I know, I don't say it, I'm still loyal, I'm still upright, I still advise the emperor, Zhu Houzhao now has the urge to kill people with a knife.

The latter article prohibits the king's mansion and weaves and begs for salt, Zhu Houzhao thinks it's okay, but Zhu Houzhao also knows that this thing still restricts the clan and relatives. Of course, there are already a lot of salt citations in the hands of civil salt merchants, and if the royal palace relatives are still begging for salt quotations, they must be the first to mention salt! This is malicious competition, this is disrupting the market order, and it is the market order that they have set up that is disrupting it, and it must be severely cracked down.

Lingyou has a division to levy Zhuangtian rent, this article is also quite ruthless, to put it bluntly, it is like Zhuangtian tax, so what is Zhuangtian? Zhuangtian refers to the farmland given by the imperial court to subordinates or princes.

There are two forms of Xungui Zhuangtian and Wangfu Zhuangtian, and the Zhuangtian allocated because of the knighthood is called Xungui Zhuangtian. Xungui refers to the lords (military generals and heroes) and noble relatives (imperial relatives and relatives), that is, the so-called nobles with different surnames. In addition to the emperor's appropriation, there are also additional farmland, occupied people's land, and overlord's official land.

Wangfu Zhuangtian refers to the Zhuangtian of the prince's palace in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor's sons (except the crown prince) were crowned kings, also known as princes. The imperial court gave the prince a pastoral garden, as a farmland, from Xuanzong. In the first year of Hongxi, Xuanzong gave his uncle 80 hectares of farmland. After that, the prince became a vassal and played to ask for farmland, and the number of them increased. In addition to the Qinci, the source of the land in Wangfuzhuang also has a discussion, that is, a certain land is a deserted land, and it is begging for a performance and taking it for oneself. Accepting and surrendering, encroachment, that is, the people are forced to sell their land because of their lives, and the royal government takes advantage of the danger to suppress the price and buy, and seizes the land and encroaches on taxes, which is called "buying and buying". Those who cultivate farms are called villagers, commonly known as tenants.

The merger of land was not a question of nobles and princes, but of the whole feudal dynasty, and this trend was irreversible in the era when land was the main means of production. Only after the productive forces are liberated, the production efficiency is increased, the yield per mu is increased, and land is no longer the main means of production, will this problem be fundamentally solved. Regardless of the system, land annexation is inevitable.

The entire feudal dynasty has always implemented land annexation, and there is no way to solve this problem, Zhu Houzhao is clear in his heart.

"Collect the tax on the farmland!" Zhu Houzhao sighed, and then said: "Father, if it is really levied, will the imperial village also have to pay taxes?" ”

Glaring at Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youzhu didn't answer his son's question at all, leviing Zhuangtian tax, do you dare to set this precedent? The civil official thinks this is a big piece of fat meat, but this piece of meat is so delicious?

Putting down the Tiao Chen in his hand, Zhu Hou looked at his father, and said with a smile: "It has not been easy for my father these years, but these people always have their eyes nailed to the farm, this is not good!" If Zhuang Tian has to pay taxes, do scholars also have to pay taxes? When Emperor Taizu gave preferential treatment to scholars, he gave them tax-free fields, but there was a quota for the tax-free fields of those who read, but what about these people now? ”

"Whoever has a meritorious name does not pay taxes, hides the fields, hides the population, why don't they say this? It's better for the officials and gentry to pay for the grain in one piece! ”

Zhu Houzhao said an earth-shattering sentence in very casual words.

This is definitely the best way to collect land tax, no poll tax, only tax from the land, as long as there is no land, you don't have to pay taxes. Of course, this simple policy will lead to more oppression of tenants and more misery for the people at the bottom. The gentry landlords will definitely pass on the taxes, and if they pay taxes, then the tax money will definitely be paid by the tenants, not by the gentry landlords.

This is also the reason why the Qing Dynasty is so rich, but the life of the people at the bottom is extremely difficult, very simply, the oppression and exploitation are heavier.

At this time, the state needs to divert the flow of people, so that the landless people will no longer be tenants, have a new direction, and have a new way to live, and will not only be pressed on the land, be cut down, and be oppressed.

So how do you divert the flow? How can industry, commerce, physical industry and commerce promote the development of industry and commerce? Maritime trade, colonization, this is an industrial chain. Tenants who can't afford to live will choose to go to sea to fight, even if they are buried in the belly of a fish, they will not choose to become homeless, they will not choose to rebel, because there is a way out. If it comes out, it is another world, even if they are not willing to go to sea, they can also get job opportunities.

The docks, shipyards, and other exports all need to be produced by people, who will become the first workers, without land, and living by selling their physical strength and technology.

It is incomplete to simply spread the land into the mu and pay the grain for the gentry in one, this policy is only half done, Zhu Houzhao chooses to say it now, not to do it now, but Zhu Houzhao wants his father to have a psychological preparation.
