In Apocalypse's carpentry house, Apocalypse is being ruthless against a piece of stubborn wood.

Today's morning Chao held his breath again, and it almost made him angry. According to the right reason, today is the 15th day of the new year, and the big people above the three grades in Beijing will gather in the main hall. He wanted to announce a decree, that is, a special salt tax, to increase some revenue for the treasury and for his own internal funds, because now he is too poor. Every year, the income of the treasury and its own internal funds is being reduced year by year, while the expenditure is increasing year by year, just a Liaoxi Yuan Chonghuan's repair of the city has become a bottomless pit, originally built a Ningyuan City, there are two million silver is absolutely enough. As a result, Zu Dashou worked hard to repair it, and Yuan Chonghuan went to accept it, and it turned out to be a tofu scum project. If you want to invest a little more money to supplement it, it is understandable, after all, military fortresses cannot be child's play. As a result, this Yuan Manzi actually ordered to be directly demolished and rebuilt. At that time, he and his teacher Sun Chengzong told him bitterly that they should not do this, it would be a waste of the treasury. As a result, this Yuan barbarian also committed his barbarian temperament, debating with himself in books all day long, fighting a lawsuit with Master Sun face to face, and finally simply giving a first cut and then a prelude, and directly ripping the city wall. And then as soon as I stretched out my hand, it was another four million.

I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and the sky doesn't grow silver, and the earth doesn't grow silver, where does the silver come from? Now the annual treasury of Daming is nominally 20 million, but in fact, how much. After deducting the reserved space, deducting the conversion, deducting the local army and raising officials, and miscellaneous things, the real thing that can be escorted to the state treasury is only about 4 million taels. His own internal money is only about one million, plus some special taxes on the Huangzhuang River, it is only three million a year. However, as the population of the clan gradually grew, the annual reward and expenditure for the clan reached 15 million taels last year alone. This in itself is a huge hole, where can we get four million to repair the city?

Fortunately, his grandfather was very good at making money, and his small treasury still had a surplus, so he gritted his teeth and allocated it to him. As a result, he had just finished repairing Ningyuan City, and he was ready to move forward, and he would also build Jinzhou City, and he would also build Dalinghe City in front, and guard the left and right. Come to think of it, that's a huge bottomless pit. Yuan Chonghuan has been in charge of Guanning for three years, and he has spent a total of 14 million silver, which is a big mountain.

If you don't get in, you can't do it, and your small treasury is already stretched. So the Apocalypse, under Wei Zhongxian's planning, prepared to tax salt again.

The reason why we say the word "renew", in fact, there was still a tax on salt, and at that time, the salt tax was also called salt introduction, and Yongle was only 50 million people, and as a result, more than 1.3 million yuan could be collected in a year, in total, in exchange for 3 million taels of silver, which was a huge income.

But after my father's death, he was hollowed out by the Donglin Party, and the salt tax was canceled by harming the people and increasing the burden on the people. At that time, his power was weak, and he had no help at all, and after debating with them countless times, he finally lost the battle and canceled this huge income, followed by the tax on tea and silk, which was equivalent to cutting off the income of nearly 10 million taels of silver.

The result is also strange, according to the normal reason, he canceled the high salt tax, and the price of salt not only did not fall, but rose step by step, so that the people could only eat lightly most of the time.

Where did the salt tax go, of course, it all fell into the hands of officials and businessmen, such as the largest salt merchant in the former dynasty who was moved down by Yuan Keli back then, and he was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the current dynasty. The dowry for marrying a daughter is as high as one million, and the salt merchants from all over the country are congratulating customers, and the salt merchants with a net worth of two million cannot enter the main seat. And it is precisely because of this that salt merchants with official status are absolutely not allowed to levy salt taxes, and salt merchants without official status have money, so they will buy off officials to resolutely resist the collection of salt taxes, of course, including other things such as tea silk.

Therefore, this time, the apocalypse thought that he had the support of the eunuch party and could open the salt tax, but it turned out that it had been arguing for another month, and there was still no hope. Now the apocalypse is really anxious, because Yuan Chonghuan has issued an ultimatum, and there are still two million silver in place this year, and when the time comes, Jiannu will attack: "The city is not good, the soldiers are hungry, and the side affairs are rotten" I can't blame me.

Under such persecution, Tianqi sent a cruel word to the court: "Within five days, if the salt tax can no longer be done, the first assistant, the head of the household department, and your criminal department servant with the background of the big salt merchant family, we will slap and stare at each other." Then I didn't care about them, just threw up my sleeves and left.

However, five days have passed, and at today's court meeting, those Donglin Party members are still resolutely opposed to the levy of salt tax. As a result, Tianqi took out his own means and prepared to practice his own golden mouth and jade words - to dismiss the first assistant, to dismiss the household department Shangshu, and to the criminal department squire with the background of the big salt merchant family. As a result, the ministers of Donglin were opposed, and the emperor's golden words became nonsense. Not only that, the Donglin Party launched a tongue like a lotus, criticizing this little emperor as incomplete, more than the king of the emperor, and directly drove him back to hold the child. At that time, the little emperor was so angry that he stomped his feet and released cruel words again, from now on close the dynasty, I won't play with you.

Forcing an honest and honest person to such a point and saying such cruel words, Donglin's arrogance can also be seen. Because of this, the Donglin Party originally attacked the eunuch party, Wei Zhongxian cried and begged the emperor for protection, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse just reprimanded it. But it was precisely because of this incident that Tianqi discovered that Donglin's power was still strong and must be resolutely attacked, so there was the case of the six gentlemen of Donglin later, which can be regarded as Donglin's cocoon and self-inflicted.

With a belly of anger, he vented fiercely in this carpenter's house, and at this time, Shoufu Ye Xianggao ran over with a group of people, ready to accuse him of abandoning the government. This is almost going to make the little emperor stunned. I'm going to court, you use me as an ornament, I propose something, and you will bring me back to pick up the child. And I came back to pick up the child, and you said that I abandoned the government, I am neither left nor right, do you let people live?

"Go, go, and tell them that I am carrying the children as they ask, and get them all out of me." The little eunuch immediately ran out, and directly took a group of eunuchs like tigers and wolves to beat the group of cabinet members out with a beating. As a result, this made the Donglin officials even more annoyed, this is an insult to Sven, this is really the king of the scum. So in the blink of an eye, a basket of accusations and criticisms were piled up in the Qinzheng Palace.

"Burn it, burn it, burn it all for me." The little emperor roared hoarsely: "Just burn this palace on fire." ”。

"Brother, you really burned this home, where do we live with our sister-in-law and nephew? Let's keep it. As soon as the words arrived, his little brother smiled and carried a food box and came in from outside the courtyard gate.

"Where did you go crazy today? You don't look like a prince anymore, wait a while and see how I beat you. "The current little emperor is looking at who annoys whom, even the little brother who has always been pleasing to the eye, at this time it is not pleasing to the eye. Especially what this little brother did, it made him even more angry, and he couldn't wait to really grab his ass and beat him.
