Chapter 137 Additional Commercial Tax
Pro~ The domain name of this site: the abbreviation homonym of "166", which is very easy to remember! Good-looking highly recommended: "Three towns, two attacks and one strategy?"
Zhu Youzhen was really moved, and he had no resistance to this kind of strategic flickering that could solve the situation of internal and external troubles.
Back then, Yuan Chonghuan fooled him with the strategy of pacifying Liao and defending Liao land for five years, so much so that he immediately promoted Yuan Chonghuan to a feudal official with heavy troops!
Yang Sichang was directly put into the cabinet by Chongzhen because he proposed the strategy of "four positives, six corners and ten sides of the net" against the thieves, so that he was still in charge of the military department and controlled the military command of the world.
Of course.
Proof of history.
These strategies are completely useless except for fooling Chongzhen, and even cause more problems.
Yuan Chonghuan naturally failed to pacify Liao for five years, and even ended up being Ling Chi, which was extremely controversial in later generations, and the Liao people's defense of Liao soil led to the emergence of warlords who supported the army and respected themselves.
As for Yang Sichang's strategy of suppressing thieves, in addition to levying more taxes from the people and causing more thieves to appear, he did not succeed in exterminating the thieves, and even died of thieves in the end.
But.
Zhu Youzhen didn't know this, he was looking at Liu Yuliang with burning eyes at this time.
After all, Zhu Youzhen really doesn't want to become the king of the fallen country, and he doesn't want to be poked in the backbone by future generations with history books, and he doesn't want future generations to say that he is an incompetent emperor, and even give him a bad word like Emperor Yang and Emperor Yang.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen has always wanted to solve the problem of Jiannu and the thief.
I've been desperate to solve it.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen really wanted someone to tell him how long it would take to solve the problem, and he would need to wait a few years.
For this reason, the Donglin Party told him that it could be solved by killing Wei Zhongxian and eradicating the eunuchs.
Therefore, he supported the Donglin Party to wipe out the eunuch party.
The Donglin Party also told him that restraining Jinyiwei and Dongchang could be solved.
He also did so, and the Chongzhen Dynasty did not monitor the Dongchang and Jinyiwei of the hundred officials, and the Dongchang and Jinyiwei were useless.
Although he eventually felt that he had been deceived by the civil officials and had to reactivate the eunuchs, he was willing to trust Yuan Chonghuan and Yang Sichang, who could give him a clear answer.
Now.
Liu Yuliang's calmness and self-confidence also infected him, coupled with Liu Yuliang's various behaviors since he was appointed to the Beijing camp, which made Zhu Youzhen more willing to believe, so he asked with great interest: "Aiqing, let's talk about it, what is the strategy of three towns, two attacks and one strategy?" ”
Liu Yuliang saw that the emperor was interested, and his heart was naturally more pleased.
Liu Yuliang knew that as long as the emperor asked, it meant that the emperor began to believe in himself.
Thereupon.
Liu Yuliang immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, the three towns are to deploy heavy troops in the three towns of Xuanfu, Shanhaiguan and Denglai to defend Jiannu from entering the customs, and the two attacks are to advance by land and water, and dispatch elite soldiers to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, so that Jiannu can not be taken care of, and a response is to rebuild Phi Dao, set up a town, and make it attack and disturb the rear of Jiannu...... First of all, Jiannu is good at land warfare but not water warfare...... In addition, when the blockade of Jiannu is strengthened in the mutual market, and when it is possible to win over the Mongol tribes who have not completely surrendered to Jiannu......"
Lu Yuan's staff made a complete strategic fool plan for Liu Yuliang.
And this plan involves military, logistical, diplomatic and other aspects.
It is definitely more comprehensive than the strategy of Yuan Chonghuan and Yang Sichang back then.
And Liu Yuliang is also the first assistant of the cabinet, and he still has the ability to be well-informed and memorized, so he naturally easily said this strategic fooling plan.
But this is not to say that this strategy is really a fool, and it does have an irreproachable foothold in theory.
Zhu You was really moved after hearing this, but he actually didn't have the confidence in his heart that he could really defeat Jiannu, exterminate the thieves, and prosper the Ming Dynasty.
The strategy proposed by Liu Yuliang at this time really gave him a lot of confidence and confidence, making him seem to really feel that Daming can still rise again, and he can still prosper Daming.
"Three years of training, six years later, Jiannu will not dare to enter the customs again, and another five years to pacify Liaodong, I am only a year old, and I will only wait for another fourteen years."
Zhu Youzhen stood up excitedly and looked at Liu Yuliang: "Aiqing is really old and seeking the country, so I should quickly draw up a copy of the recital for me, I will study it carefully, and go down to the cabinet ministers to discuss this strategy with Dajiuqing!" ”
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen's face flushed, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: "The emperor hasn't been so excited at this time for a long time!" ”
"Obey the order!"
Liu Yuliang hurriedly replied.
At the same time, Zhu Youzhen looked at Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng again: "What do the two Aiqing think the first assistant said?" ”
Yang Sichang was quite jealous when he saw this, he didn't expect that Liu Yuliang had always been a corpse vegetarian, and today he could actually say a thing or two about the situation in the world, and it was obvious that his holy favor would be comparable to himself in the future.
But in any case, Yang Sichang can also see that now that the emperor has been moved by Liu Yuliang's words, and his own objection will only make His Majesty unhappy, so he only replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Shoufu said is comparable to that of Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Liang in the thatched house." ”
Zhu You was very useful after listening to it, after all, Yang Sichang compared himself to Uncle Liu Huang, who can prosper the Han.
And then.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Xiangsheng again.
Lu Xiangsheng was seriously thinking about Liu Yuliang's strategy, so after thinking about it, he stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what the first assistant said is also quite difficult, the first difficulty lies in military training, military training requires recruitment, and recruiting soldiers naturally needs money and food, where should the money and food come from?" ”
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to directly agree, but raised a question.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not an emperor who can only listen to pleasant words, and he also thinks that Lu Xiangsheng's question is reasonable, so he looked at Liu Yuliang: "What does Aiqing think Lu Qing said?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister naturally also knows that the training of soldiers needs money and food, so the minister suggested that the commercial tax be increased, and the agricultural tax has been increased by the Liao salary and the salary, so naturally it can not be increased, and now the business profit has doubled countless times compared with the past due to the opening of the sea and border trade, so the minister thinks that part of the commercial tax can be levied to train new soldiers."
Liu Yuliang is a native of Mianzhu in Shuzhong, a traditional feudal landlord, who lives by collecting land rent, and no one in the family is in business, after all, the fields in Shuzhong are fertile, and he can become a huge wealth by collecting land and collecting land rent, so Lu Yuan asked Liu Yuliang to suggest that the imperial court increase the commercial tax when the time came, he did not object, in addition, Liu Yuliang did this to find a way out for himself.
After all, this so-called "three towns, two attacks and one strategy strategy" may not be effective, and if it really doesn't work out afterwards, you can blame some ministers who oppose the increase in commercial taxes for refusing to increase commercial taxes, so it will not be on his head Liu Yuliang.
Zhu You was also very touched after hearing this, he was the emperor who had been growing up in the palace, and he didn't know the deep motive of Liu Yuliang's sudden proposal to increase the commercial tax, so he only said: "Then let the minister discuss." ”
Yang Sichang smiled secretly in his heart after hearing this, and said secretly: "The increase in business tax is really simple, the Jin merchants, the Hui merchants and the Jiangnan Lake merchants all have relatives and friends as officials in the court, and they will allow you to increase the business tax?" It's a good shoufu-sama, and I've found a good excuse for myself in advance! 166 Reading Network
