Through his father's personality and way of behaving in the world, Zhu Houzhao came to a conclusion, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really taught to be stupid, grew up in the deep palace, and never went out in his life, and his thoughts were instilled in him by those civil teachers, which also made him really feel that what those civil officials said was right. On the other hand, Emperor Jiajing is a negative example, he is a vassal king, and he has seen a lot of shamelessness and inferiority of civil officials.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing didn't believe that there were no good people in this group of civil officials, so he used power to control these people.

In Zhu Houzhao's view, his handling method is only fair and reasonable on the surface, but when it really comes down, will those civil officials let go of such an opportunity? Taking the opportunity of compensation must be squeezed to the end, on the one hand, they can make a little money for themselves, on the other hand, they also want fame, defeat the nobles and compensate the people, what a good means to brush up their reputation!

In such a situation, they will definitely do things absolutely well, that is, they will definitely let these three families come up with more as much as possible, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about this.

The more money these three families take out, the worse the end, and the better the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, so Zhu Houzhao offered such a strategy.

Now that it has been decided, the news will naturally spread out quickly, and for a while, the civil officials are jubilant, and the honors are like mourning, and Zhu Houzhao will pay attention to this matter, and then Zhu Houzhao will not care about it, this is originally a small matter to kill chickens and monkeys, and it is not worth Zhu Houzhao's investment of more energy and time.

After the news spread, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered someone to find Zhang Heling, looking at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao found that Zhang Heling's expression was much better than the last time. Seeing Zhang Heling's expression, Zhu Houzhao knew that things were done well. waved his hand to signal Zhang Heling to be polite: "The family doesn't have to be polite, uncle sit!" ”

After Zhang Heling sat down, he spoke: "Your Highness, things are going very well, most of the nobles have agreed to pay taxes in Zhuangtian these days. ”

This Zhu Houzhao had already guessed, of course, it is not enough to guess alone, Zhu Houzhao has also received a lot of news from the outside world, and the situation is indeed like what Zhang Heling said. At this time, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was almost the same, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's start tomorrow morning!" Uncle, you are the first to initiate. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Heling agreed respectfully, without the slightest hesitation, things have come to this point, and it is pointless to delay.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao packed up and prepared to go to the morning court, today is a big event, Zhu Houzhao naturally wants to participate. met his father on the way, Zhu Houzhao was directly glared at by his father, Zhu Houzhao was suddenly helpless, what's wrong? Why did you stare at yourself, you didn't do anything bad, did you?

After Zhu Youzhu glared at his son, he said, "Are you sure?" Now can you talk about it? What exactly do you want to do? ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "Erchen said before, but let's start doing it now, what Erchen has to do is to pay the grain for the officials and gentry." ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhu Youzhu was suddenly shocked, his son had indeed said it before, but Zhu Youzhu didn't expect his son to do something to Zhuangtian, and the goal was to spread the land into the mu and pay the grain for the gentry. The size of the Ming Dynasty is very large, and although there are a lot of noble villages, everyone knows that they do not occupy too much, because the big head is in the hands of the gentry.

Concealing land and not paying taxes, the gentry are the ones who do the most, and there are many problems in this, such as the cash that the court has always wanted to solve, which is a derivative problem.

Although it is a derivative problem, there are too many cats in it, and the local officials collect taxes, and basically the taxes of the scholars will not be collected, and everyone has a tacit understanding to turn a blind eye. Because every official is a vested interest, all of them will subconsciously safeguard this interest, thus forming a huge interest class, and it is not a simple matter to deal with this matter.

"I'm afraid it's going to be a mess!" Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and shook his head with a serious face: "No, the movement is too big." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and didn't think what Dad said was good, so he said directly: "Yes!" The movement was too loud, and it was indeed not the right time. ”

Glancing at his son in surprise, Zhu Youzhu was then relieved, this time he watched his son do things step by step, in this case, Zhu Youzhu naturally wanted to know what his son was going to do next. In fact, Zhu Youzhang let his son do this, in fact, to a large extent, because his son has really been successful.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Youzhu looked at his son and asked.

"This time, the noble Zhuang Tian pays taxes, so should our royal family also set an example? The Imperial Mansion of the Imperial Palace also has to pay taxes! Zhu Houzhao did not answer his father's question, but raised a new question, Huangzhuang, this is a very deformed product, to put it bluntly, it is the same as Xungui's Zhuangtian, it is the royal property.

The income of the grange is used to support the emperor's family, which is equivalent to the emperor's Lutian, and in this case, it is natural that there is no need to pay taxes.

Now that the Zhuang Tian of Xun Gui and Xun Qi have paid taxes, the emperor's Zhuang Tian will naturally have to pay taxes too, otherwise what do you make the people below think?

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "This is natural." ”

"Since the royal estates have to pay taxes, what about the vassal kings everywhere? Do you have to pay taxes too? Seeing his father nodding, Zhu Houzhao took the opportunity to point the finger at the vassal kings in various places.

The vassal kings have a lot of land, and they don't pay taxes, how can this be done? The emperor paid taxes, and the vassal kings also had to pay taxes.

"With the field tax of the vassal king and the noble, the tax of the imperial court will definitely be much more, and the sons will be able to carry out military reform again, and this time the sons are ready to reform Liaodong." Zhu Houzhao did not hide his thoughts, and pointed the finger directly at Liaodong. In Zhu Houzhao's view, the current nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are actually similar to those of later generations.

This time, it is necessary to set up a new military region in Liaodong to set a model for future military reform, and at the same time, to change the military household system to a conscription system in Liaodong.

The most important thing is that Zhu Houzhao wants to develop animal husbandry and textile industry in Liaodong, and as for the textiles, they can be shipped back to Daming to sell, or they can be directly exported to North Korea, and they will definitely be able to develop Liaodong into a large commercial and trade center within this year's time, and at that time, Liaodong will naturally prosper, and there will also be a population to reclaim the fertile soil of the Northeast Plain.

As for the cold weather that can't be cultivated, it's okay, you can go rye, isn't it? It's hardy, though it doesn't taste very good.
