Chapter 187: Zhu Laosi's Divine Decree
Zhu Zhanji watched Zhu Laosi and Xia Yuanji stage a big drama in front of his eyes, and it didn't come to an end until the two sides reached some undisclosed deals.
Xia Yuanji said that he would work together with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Honglu Temple, the General Supervisor and other leaders at the Yamen Gate to strive to get the gold and silver of North Korea into the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Laosi's internal treasury as soon as possible.
Zhu Laosi, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who expressed satisfaction and appreciation for this, also said that in the future, the model of Yangjia Zhuangzi School will be slowly rolled out, and after having good manpower, it will be prioritized to be assigned to the household department, so as to express his support for Xia Butang.
Deal!
As for Li ......, who has been repeatedly sold several times What Lee? Isn't this about to see the New Year? Have a good New Year first, and then we'll talk about the rest!
In the first month of the sixteenth year of Yongle, Zhu Laosi accepted the worship of the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of Siyi in the Fengtian Palace, which means the official end of the fifteenth year of Yongle and the official arrival of the sixteenth year of Yongle.
Yang Shaofeng, who is still single and has a dog, hid at the back of the civil official group, leaning on the pillar in the main hall and squinting that there are still a few months before he gets married, and he has to take care of his spirit.
Zhu Laosi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced at Yang Shaofeng, as if he hadn't seen this bastard, and directly ordered Wuxin: "Xuanxuan." ”
Unintentionally bowed in response, and then picked up the holy decree from the tray held by the little eunuch standing next to him, unfolded it and read it in his throat: "
Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: I inherited the mandate of heaven, unified Shao Hongye, worked diligently all night, but tried to calm the people, and the world has not been at peace for six years in the present ten years, and the people's livelihood has failed.
If the people cannot rule alone, then they must establish officials and divide their duties to govern together. Today, you sit and watch the people poor, don't pay attention, are blinded by the size, don't hear about it, and are not afraid of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods?
If we can change our self-esteem, change greed into honesty, reform violence into benevolence, support the people from the top, and help the people with their own place, you can enjoy the lord forever and keep the wealth and dignity. If you do not disobey the order of the people, the sin will not be forgiven. For example, if a man is sent to a flock of cattle and sheep, and he is unable to rest and starves to death, then the shepherd will be condemned, and the herdsman will be sent to him.
Blessings, good and evil, there is a constant way in heaven; Rewarding meritorious service and punishing crimes, the state has a common canon. Dian Mao exhortation, no slackness, no negligence! ”
Zhu Laosi scolded?
Yang Shaofeng, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly became excited, stood up straight, and then lowered his head and looked back and forth at the many bigwigs in the court.
That's not right, in addition to Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Zhanji and himself were scolded the most, and they usually didn't see Zhu Laosi scolding people at all.
His old man has always liked to kill people, why did he just scold him this time? Who provoked Zhu Laosi again?
After following the big guys in front of him and shouting long live, Yang Shaofeng couldn't come up with everything, but he heard Zhu Laosi say in a deep voice: "Continue to announce the edict." ”
Wuxin bowed down again, and then picked up another edict and unfolded it, and read it: "
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: It is said that the officials and the people of the world know that since the first month of the sixteenth year of Yongle, the people of the world will never collect the taxes again, and you all have to live a good life.
I teach the household department and the Yamen to put the world's household registration book, household registration booklet, you people, no matter how big or small, all the names are recorded, all you are occupied by others, and those who have not been allocated land at home will be given to you when you turn back.
You don't have to be afraid of not having enough land, for I still have a lot of land outside the gates, and anyone whose name is remembered can come and plant it, and I don't charge you taxes, but give you seeds to plough your cattle.
I said so bluntly, the big and the small must know, and the virtuous and the foolish must be saved. If any local officials and gentry distort my intentions, you will come to the capital to complain to me, and I will never spare them! Do not be afraid of them, for the decree is made by me. Chin this! ”
it!
Yang Shaofeng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and the edict in front of him was also displayed in four and six words, and the edict in the back went directly into battle, which was really simple and rude, just like the confession that the suspect Li Fangyuan presented to the Goryeo tribute girl was not beautiful enough!
After the ministers shouted long live again, Yang Shaofeng heard Zhu Laosi speak: "Don't change a word, make it clear to the world, and let the people know what I mean!" ”
……
Because Zhu Laosi was in Shuntianfu, the people of Shuntianfu knew the news of the complete exemption from taxation earlier than the people in other places, and those who worked on the construction site knew it earlier.
Compared with before, Chen Er is now a rich man, although his salary is not very much, but he married a good daughter-in-law, Chen Wang's tossed up kindergarten can earn 100 yuan a day, which is several times higher than Chen Er's salary on the construction site.
But Chen Er and Chen Wang, who are used to living a poor life, are not used to spending money lavishly, except for buying more chickens, ducks, fish and other things than usual in the past few days of the New Year, the rest is still the same as before, and even the wine Chen Er drank is still the old turbid wine before.
If you have to say that there is anything different from before, it is probably that Chen Wang's family is now more obedient to Chen Er, not as good as before, and Chen Er makes more money than men, so his attitude is lowered, don't let his own man feel faceless.
The family had dinner together, sent the child to bed early, Chen Wang poured wine for Chen Er and himself, and the two drank a glass together before asking: "Master, what do you say the emperor is doing?" Why is it that the people's taxes are suddenly not collected? ”
Chen Er smacked his lips and said, "Who knows about the emperor." But I thought about it, probably because the emperor and his old man were not short of money, so they were simply exempted from paying taxes to the people. ”
Chen Wang pouted and said, "Then he won't be short of money in the future?" I have heard people say that they will never collect it again in the future, and as long as the Ming Dynasty is still in the day, the people's tax can no longer be collected. ”
Chen Er took a large piece of fat and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly for a while before swallowing it with some reluctance, and said, "You just have long hair and short knowledge." Let me ask you, what people say is that the people are exempted from taxes and taxes, but the commercial taxes are not exempted, right? How much business tax do you have to pay a month alone? ”
Chen Wangshi blinked his eyes and said: "Not necessarily, at the beginning, it was a few cents, then it was more than a dozen cents, and then it rose to more than ninety cents, and when the spring of the New Year is over, it is estimated that it will rise to a hundred cents?" ”
Chen Er hummed and said, "Isn't this it?" The more you earn, the more business taxes you pay, and you are not the only one who has brains, and others do business, don't you have to pay business taxes? The emperor is an old man who can't lack money! ”
Chen Wang's family suddenly turned into Chen Er's little fan sister, and said with a look of admiration: "I am still the master with knowledge!" I'm a woman, but I don't have much knowledge in charge of the house, so the construction site is really a good place. ”
Chen Er said with a bitter face: "Okay? What a fart! ”
Hatefully poured a glass of old wine into his stomach, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food in a row, Chen Ercai said with a bitter face: "I originally thought that the construction site was a good place, but now it seems that this construction site is not a good place, especially the champion Gong, no wonder people call him Yang crazy, I think he is a madman!" ”
Chen Wang filled Chen Er's empty cup again, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Eryu sighed and said: "The news from Brother Yang a few days ago said that it was time for the spring to go to work, and everyone was not allowed to go home directly after work, and they all had to study for half an hour, saying that they wanted to teach us the old and rough literacy.
Conscience of heaven and earth, you say that I am this age, and I still want to study like a baby? What is this not? No, I have to talk to Third Brother Yang about this matter when I go back, and I don't dare to let the champion come to Hu. ”
Chen Wang's eyebrows were raised, and he wanted to reprimand a few words, but he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and just said lightly: "What, let you study or hurt you?" If you don't study, your son will drop his book bag with you in the future, can you understand? ”
Chen Erzhen retorted eloquently: "Then what don't you understand? I understood the Emperor's decree. Besides, the baby still dares to drop the bookbag when talking to his father? Give him a discount on his legs! ”
Chen Wangshi snorted and said: "You are not allowed to go, whoever wants to make trouble will let whoever makes trouble, anyway, you can't go." ”
"What?" Chen Er asked with a confused face: "Others can go, but I can't go?" ”
Chen Wang said: "Yes, you can't go, unless you don't want to earn wages on the construction site." The champion is the owner, what do people say, let's do it, it's a good thing to let you study, you can't ask for the opportunity, you still want to make trouble? Did you let the donkey kick your brain? ”
Seeing that Chen Er didn't squeak, Chen Wang continued: "If you don't squeak, I'll take you by default." ”
Chen Er snorted and said, "I know, I'll listen to you, don't make a fuss, study honestly, and come back after giving you a show." ”
"Virtue!" Chen Wang snorted out laughing and said, "Why are you willing to listen to me again?" Or do you want to take the exam as a talented man and take a few more concubines? ”
Chen Er said with a dark face: "Nonsense! As the old saying goes, if there is a good wife in the family, the husband will not suffer misfortune. I think you're pretty virtuous, and I'm right to listen to you. ”
His face suddenly turned red, and Chen Wangshi couldn't help but feel a little shy, and snorted: "Didn't you say that you would start work on the Shangyuan Festival a few years ago, and it doesn't seem to be a few days away, you have a good rest at home, you have enough spirits, and work hard when you go to work." I've thought about it, we have a yard now, and I'll buy a yard for the baby in the future. ”
After Chen Wang's finished cleaning up the table, he picked up Chen Wang's and said with a smile: "Let's work hard and have a few more babies!" ”
"Lights! The lights haven't gone out yet! ”
