Emperor Hongji had a feeling that he had seen a ghost.

In other words, the people who were forced to die by taxes are now bold and directing people to protect the road.

Obviously, this can only be explained by the supernatural.

Until now...... Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what had happened.

At least...... The whole thing is not yet clear.

It's just that he vaguely feels in his heart that the state of affairs may be deviating from many people's imagination, and it seems to be ...... In the direction of the unknown, development.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "Fang Jifan." ”

"The son is here." Fang Jifan is embarrassed, the gentry are too bold, if these forces are used to oppose the change of the law, what about one county, one province, two capitals and thirteen provinces?

It's unthinkable.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, didn't Erchen say it earlier? Take it from the people, use it for the people, in the past, the imperial court and the government did not collect taxes, at least not the land taxes of wealthy merchants and gentry, how much tax can be paid? Even if it is a heavy burden, it is imposed on the red people, and the red people are bankrupt, and the taxes that can be collected can only barely maintain the emergency expenses of the court and the government. ”

"But now, now that the taxes have been collected, and the money is available, it is time for the people to use it. In the past, the government even repaired a county school, and it still needed the gentry to raise donations, but with the silver, why didn't they repair it themselves, why, it was better not to repair it? Just like this road, with silver, you can start construction, the road not only to be repaired, but also to the gentry and the common people, Erchen expected, in the past, that Dingxing County to the new city round trip, more than five or six days, less than two or three days, if it is a carriage, but also with goods, once encountered muddy weather, it is even more terrible, sometimes seven or eight days, may not be able to go back and forth. But now it's different, the roads are repaired, the carriages and horses are galloping, and you can go back and forth in one day, Your Majesty...... Think about it, let's Jingshi, the time it takes to travel back and forth from the outer city to the inner city...... I'm afraid it may not be much less than Dingxing County to Xincheng. ”

"The road is open, this Dingxing County is no different from the outer city of Jingshi. Just like Beitongzhou, this Beitongzhou, which used to be penniless, but because of the canal, it has become a thoroughfare, and countless goods need to be transshipped there, which can bring a lot of wealth. The greater advantage of roads over canals is that roads are accessible to everyone, and waterways are ...... However, someone needs to have a ship, and the government also strictly prohibits private ships, non-official ships and grain ships, and they are not allowed to go into the water, in order to prevent the waterway from being blocked, and the grain ships cannot come and go freely. ”

Emperor Hongji probably understood.

He frowned: "The gentry profit from their energy"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Not only the gentry, but also the gentry and people in the entire Dingxing County can make profits from it, otherwise, how can the gentry alone quickly gather so many people, there must be a lot of people who spontaneously safeguard their own interests." Your Majesty, Dingxing County is Baoding Prefecture, and even the entire Beizhili, the poorest county, sparsely populated, barren land, in Beijing, a pound of shelled rice, the price has reached ten wen a catty, but in Dingxing County, the same rice, but only three or four wen, that's it...... Still nobody's caring? ”

Emperor Hongzhi still didn't understand: "Why didn't they transport it to Jingshi in the past?" ”

Fang Jifan despised Emperor Hongzhi in his heart, why not eat minced meat: "The road is difficult, and the cost of manpower and material resources in transportation is too high." What's more, it is precisely because the road is difficult to travel, the road is sparsely populated, and the time for the government to react is not timely. Now it's different, now one day and one night, you can go back and forth, and because the road is good, in the past, a car, transport hundreds of catties of rice, even if it is rare, now with a new carriage, with such a road, is to transport thousands of catties, or even thousands of catties, it is not a problem, the road through the speed is fast, the land inspection division, and can respond at any time along the way, to combat thieves, so that the risk and the cost of transportation, have been reduced to a minimum, businessmen have found profitable. Not only that, Your Majesty, think about it, now the land price in Jingshi is so expensive, it can be said that every inch of land is expensive, and many workshops, if they are located in Dingxing County, produce from there, and then use carriages and horses to transport them to Jingshi for half a day, what a benefit this is. ”

"At that time, Dingxing County will have tax silver, not only will all industries prosper, the government will take the tax money, but also build a larger-scale county school, let the children go to school, and build more roads, connect with various places, and even, at any time, help the people, the court and the government, with the silver, there are too many things that can be done."

Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding his head, this was a new idea, and he couldn't help but ask again: "However, this stall is too big, and the cost is not small." ”

Fang Jifan was happy: "Your Majesty, the original intention of changing the law is not to rob people of their wealth, nor is it that if the government gains benefits, the gentry will be forced to ruin their families. If this is the case, it will not work to change the law, and several protégés of Erchen have repeatedly mentioned this point when formulating the salary tax system. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless: "You continue." ”

Fang Jifan said: "The original intention of the new tax system is that if the people are rich, the country will be rich, and the government will collect taxes for the purpose of enriching the people and enriching the people...... Whether it is the court or the government, if you want to collect more taxes, you have to make the gentry and the common people rich, and when they are rich, they have to pay more taxes. The imperial court and the government have made the benefits even more amazing, and only then have the motivation to build more roads, build more academies, support the elderly and children, and even ...... Assist the gentry and the common people, promote agriculture and commerce, so that those gentry and those rich people, even if they are reluctant to pay such heavy taxes, know that these taxes will eventually benefit themselves. Even if they are unwilling, in the end, they have no resentment. ”

In Emperor Hongzhi's mind, he gradually began to have a blueprint.

A new concept was born: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "Erchen actually mentioned it, but His Majesty doesn't care. ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "This is what you didn't explain." But...... After all, it was only with Dingxing County that I was able to 'mess around' with you and a few of your disciples. ”

Although he said 'nonsense', he had a little more expectations for Dingxing County, and immediately said: "Now that Dingxing County has become a mess, immediately call hundreds of officials to discuss countermeasures." ”

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, with a little excitement on his face.

Didn't you say okay, Mr. Fang was angry? I want to see what you say.

He couldn't help laughing: "You two, go together." ”

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao glanced at each other, and Zhu Houzhao squeezed his eyebrows at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan looked dignified and generous, and he was ...... has been sublimated, and now he is the minister who governs the world, Zhu Houzhao, you scum, don't give me a look, what do you look like.

………………

The sudden court meeting caught the officials off guard.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, and people were talking to each other.

Liu Jian and the others showed a little worry, they heard the news that something might have happened in Dingxing County.

But what happened, there is no accurate information yet.

Recently, more and more courtiers have shown their dissatisfaction with the change, although the change is only in Dingxing County, but ...... The worries of the hundred officials and the scholars have become even deeper.

Wang Ao was not convinced, why did He have to change the law if he was not convinced.

In all dynasties, there are several good endings for changing the law, those gentry, but they rule the world with the Son of Heaven, if Your Majesty loses their support, a disaster is just around the corner.

The Son of Heaven is his own disciple, and as an emperor, he doesn't want his disciple to be regarded as a thief by the world.

He believes that he must have this sense of responsibility and responsibility.

After entering the temple.

Emperor Hongzhi and the crown prince and Duwei entered the palace before and after, Emperor Hongzhi went to Jinluan and ascended to the throne, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao stood with a smile.

The ministers saluted and shouted three long live.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the case and said solemnly: "There is an accident in Dingxing County, such a major event should not be underestimated, the imperial court ...... There has to be a response. ”

Sure enough, something happened in Dingxing County.

At this time, many people began to be eager to try, and this was the best time to repeal the new law.

"Your Majesty." Wang Ao did not give in, and actually went out in person: "The officials forced the people to rebel, it has always been like this, the old minister thought that if the people were not forced to a desperate situation by the harsh government, they would never be so bold. ”

He took the lead in setting the tone for those 'chaotic people', in any case, this is because the government is excessive, and this responsibility should not be paid by the gentry and the common people, only in this way can all the spearheads be pointed at the initiators.

As soon as Wang Ao came out of class, many people became excited: "The minister seconded the proposal, what the prince said is very true, why, the other counties are peaceful, but Dingxing County, but it is a breeding incident, Your Majesty must not send troops to suppress it, so as not to expand the situation, it should be lowered to the emperor's grace to meet the wishes of the gentry and the people, so ...... then the evil will be removed. ”

"The prince is seeking the country, Your Majesty...... The gentry and the common people...... Bitter, over the years, natural disasters have been frequent, and the people's livelihood has withered, and the gentry and the common people have turned against each other. It's nothing more than natural and man-made disasters. I beg Your Majesty to be magnanimous......"

"Your Majesty...... Old minister......"

Everyone was gossiping, but many people stood up excitedly.

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and it is very lively.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Zhu Qing's words are really heartfelt.

What they think, rarely, coincides with me!
