Chapter 36: The Treasury Has No Money!
Chinese is very pitiful, the same word has different meanings, the same word and the same sound can also disagree, such as the two words of defeat, such as the defeat of the national football and the defeat of the national football, the meaning of the two sentences is exactly the same, but the meaning of the two words is completely different.
The same is true of the word relic.
Normally, like Hongwu's relics, they represent the courtiers left by Zhu Chongba to Zhu Yunwen, and they belong to those who can be trusted, and there will even be the existence of orphaned ministers.
However, Jianwen's relics have a completely different meaning, which basically represents greed for life and fear of death, not only did they not do their best for Zhu Yunwen after the martyrdom, but they switched camps and surrendered to Zhu Laosi.
Zhu Zhanji immediately reacted.
According to a certain grapevine, the army of the Son of Heaven came to the city, and on the night before the capital was captured, Xie Jin, Hu Guang and Wang Gen met at the house of Wu Pu, a fellow villager, to discuss what to do.
At the meeting, Xie Jinchen said that the monarch and the ministers were righteous, and Hu Guang was even more impassioned, looking like he was at home, only Wang Gen was silent and cried alone.
Then Wang Gen committed suicide by drinking, and Xie Jin quickly went to see Zhu Laosi and recommended Hu Guang, and Hu Guang knelt down to thank God when he summoned him the next day.
Then, now the court has gone from the cabinet ministers of five of the four heavenly kings to the six Shangshu bigwigs, and then down to the six branches and the Yushitai, six or seven out of ten are Jianwen's relics.
Just like Yang Erjiu said, what is the biggest characteristic of Jianwen's relics?
It is obviously impossible to expect these people to go to Zhu Laosi head-on, it is estimated that the speed at which these people sell their teammates will be faster than one another, and the business tax thing is nothing more than good and bad, but it is impossible to make a mess.
After figuring out the joints, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's that my authorities are confused, and I always think that the guilds in the court are desperately opposed." ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "There will always be a few, wealth is moving, and many people are businessmen, and it is not easy to come up with a scholar to be an official, so naturally they have to fight for the benefits of their own family, and life and death have become secondary." ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "I hope there are fewer such people, otherwise it will be a real headache." ”
Shaking his head, as if he wanted to throw out all these messy ideas without any effect, Zhu Zhanji simply changed the topic and said with a smile: "By the way, this cement thing is really magical, and this school is almost finished, right?" ”
Yang Shaofeng pointed to the busy construction site in the distance, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to walk three or five days late, it is estimated that you will be able to see the completion of the school."
However, the school that has just been built cannot be used yet, at least it must be renovated, and then it will be dried for a while.
As for now, let Yi Xiao and Bai Geng lead the children to study together, and then invite Mr. to come over when the school is completely built. ”
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng and said, "How do I feel that you just want to find two Bai to work, so you accepted Yi Xiao and Bai Geng as students?" ”
Yang Shaofeng snorted coldly: "How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air? Can the affairs of a scholar be called a white work? ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "You just want them to work for nothing, not only them, but also the Zhuang households of the Yang family, you didn't give them a penny." ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "Joke, this son gave them piglets, chicken seedlings, duck seedlings, and fish in the fishing pond, and they still want money?" Give them a discount on their legs! ”
Pointing to a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, Yang Shaofeng continued: "See, not only do they have to build a school for me, but when the school is completed, they have to come and dig a fish pond for me, and I still don't give money!" ”
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Yang Shaofeng and said, "When do you plan to increase the output of cement?" ”
Yang Shaofeng pointed to the busy farmer and said: "The school and the fish pond will only take up part of their time, while the cement workshop will work all year round, will they be willing to give up that little bit of food in the field?" ”
Zhu Zhanji was even more confused: "Then what kind of three-dimensional breeding thing are you tossing, aren't they even more reluctant?" ”
Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why are you reluctant?" Because there is no food in his hand, he panics!
Look at it, when the school and all these messy things are done, and the work in the field is done, they should be idle, and when they have both food and spare money in their hands, they will not panic.
Only then will it be a good time to build a cement workshop.
Also, the cement workshop is not a good place, once you go in to work, the body is vulnerable to damage, and you must take protective measures in advance. ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "That's nothing, anyway, it's almost summer, and it will be after the autumn harvest." ”
……
There have always been people busy at the construction site of Yangjia Zhuangzi, and there are also countless people in the capital of Daming.
The first is the change in taxation.
For Zhu Laosi, how did his father become the emperor, and how did he become the emperor, and the emperors for thousands of years have been like this?
But Zhu Zhanji's letter, or Yang Shaofeng's dog thing poked out, made Zhu Laosi discover that there are so many ways to play taxes?
I usually didn't notice it, but now I suddenly found that there are people who use various methods to pay less taxes or even no taxes, which undoubtedly makes Zhu Laosi's heart ache.
That's all my money!
Zhu Laosi didn't want to wait for Li Ti to come back from Shuntian Mansion at all, or he didn't want to wait even a day.
Without him, Yang is crazy, I still have to eat hairy meat?
Besides, don't they all say that three stinkers can top one Zhuge Liang, and there are so many people in the cabinet plus six departments, how can they top several!
Zhu Laosi and the court bigwigs continued to move, first in May of the thirteenth year of Yongle issued a number of requirements on taxation, and then on the tax rate, the focus of which is the tax rate.
Then, Zhu Laosi suddenly found that the business tax thing was really a good thing.
According to the Ministry of Households' estimate of the autumn tax in the thirteenth year of Yongle, the commercial tax will likely exceed three million taels, which is already half of the entire treasury tax in the twelfth year of Yongle, and several times that of the commercial tax in previous years!
This made Zhu Laosi even more distressed - my silver ~ how many taels of silver I received in previous years ~ When I have money, I will go to kill Arutai ~
As soon as he thought of Arutai, Zhu Laosi suddenly remembered one thing.
In February of the thirteenth year of Yongle, Arutai sent an envoy to Timur to come to Gongma, who was supposed to reward him with something to send people away, but later forgot about this person because of the test......
Then Zhu Laosi summoned the five four heavenly kings and the household army into the palace.
Just when everyone was confused, Zhu Laosi pointed to a note on the table and said: "Yulin avant-garde commander Zhang Xiongyuan begged to be reinstated, and the princes will discuss it?" ”
Fang Bin, the leader of the military department, took a look at Zhang Xiong's recital, and then bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiong is guilty of defrauding Tatar officials because of his son, so his example should not be forgiven." ”
Zhu Laosi sighed and said: "The ancients said, father and son are not related, not to mention that Zhang Xiong has contributed to the country before, and I want to make a special exception, but also?" ”
The Four Heavenly Kings watched coldly and said nothing, Xia Yuanji had nothing to do with himself, and the remaining guests pondered for a long time before they spoke: "Your Majesty is merciful." ”
Only then did Zhu Laosi nod, and then continued: "This matter is over, I still have one more thing to ask Yu Zhuqing - Arutai envoy Timur is still in the capital now, what should I do?" ”
Looking at the five Four Heavenly Kings, there are also Xia Laojiao, the head of the household department, plus his own military department book, probably missing those killers of the five military governors' mansions?
Contacted again when Zhu Laosi suddenly wanted to pardon Zhang Xiong and call Arutai by his name instead of King Hening, Fang Bin suddenly came back to his senses, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Alutai wolf ambition, its reward should not be heavy!" ”
Xia Yuanji rolled his eyes, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury has no money!" ”
Zhu Laosi said sympathetically: "Could it be that the treasury doesn't even have the money to reward Alutai?" ”
Xia Yuanji said: "If you reward it with gold weaving Wenqi table, there is; If it is rewarded with jewelry, there are also; Only His Majesty wants to use troops against Arutai, no! ”
Zhu Laosi snorted coldly, pointed at Xia Yuanji and said, "When will there be?" ”
Xia Yuanji bowed and squinted, as if he didn't care about Zhu Laosi's intimidation: "Your Majesty, not in three years!" ”
Yang Rong, who has never liked to talk much, couldn't help but bow down and say, "Your Majesty temporarily rests the wrath of the thunder? ”
Seeing that Zhu Laosi snorted twice and didn't speak, Yang Rong continued: "Your Majesty's concern is that the Tatars of the Arutai Department and the three tribes of Mahamu, Taiping, and Balpola are all the troubles of my Ming Dynasty.
However, both the Tatars and the Varat are outside, which can be said to be a problem for the hands and brothers, and the matter of taxation can be described as a problem for the chest and abdomen; Compare the chest and abdomen with the hands and feet, and determine the chest and abdomen first. ”
Zhu Laosi snorted twice before he said, "Then according to Yang Qing's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Yang Rong bowed and said: "Huang Huai, a scholar of Youchunfang University, once said that it is easy to make a system, and it is difficult to make a plan, so the minister thinks that for the Tatar and Warat tribes, it should still be based on checks and balances, and after everything is completed, then make a plan." ”
When the other four heavenly kings saw Yang Rongdu's words, they immediately bowed down and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Laosi said, "Then according to Qing and the others, how should we be rewarded for this Arutai matter?"
And Arutai and Mahamu are both invited to open border markets, what about it? ”
Xia Yuanji muttered: "For the matter of Arutai, you can give it a golden gift, and you can also reward other things that cannot be eaten or used." As for the affairs of the border market, the minister did not dare to speak. ”
Zhu Laosi glared at Xia Yuanji and sneered: "Although it is said that I will forgive you for your innocence!" ”
Xia Yuanji bowed and said: "The minister heard that Yang Zhuangyuan had talked about the tribute matter with His Royal Highness the Taisun in private, and the minister thought that he could take on this great responsibility!" ”
Yang Rong saw that Xia Lao picked up the pot directly, and immediately bowed down and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
