Sixteen years after coming to Daming, Zhu Yijun has seen all kinds of tricks spraying himself, and he has also seen all kinds of trolls and keyboard warriors in his previous life.

Is this memorabilia well written? Of course, well written.

Whether it is the idea or the choice of words and sentences, all of them are very well written, this recital is touted by Confucianism, it will inevitably become a generation of celebrities, and the person who writes this recital will definitely be touted as a generation of celebrities.

Since the pro-government, Zhu Yijun's lower limit on officials has been refreshing.

In the previous life, there was no intuitive feeling, but in this life, I really felt deeply, these people flaunt themselves with righteousness, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but these are all requirements for others.

It's really on yourself, it's really not giving up an inch of land, and you don't lose profits.

What country, what emperor, all can be thrown aside.

He said that he was drunk with smallpox, but in fact he was doing despicable and dirty things. Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and handed the fold to Zhang Whale: "Go and find out who this Li Maocai is!" ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale agreed, bowed and retreated.

Since the commercial tax was to be levied, the situation in the court has been quite stable, and there is no minister to write a letter, but everyone knows that this matter cannot be settled like this. The whole court, by this time, has touched a lot of interests.

The commercial tax is not the land tax, and although the officials and gentry are also resisted in paying grain in one piece, it is not easy to make trouble if they hold the officials and nobles. Commercial tax is different, and it will touch the richest group of people in the world.

This group of people is represented by the gentry in the south and southeast, and their strength is very strong.

A wave has been brewing in the capital recently, but this trend has not yet begun to blow, mainly because everyone is waiting for the local reaction and waiting for the local chaos to arise.

"Emperor, the old slave found this Li Maocai." Zhang Whale stood respectfully behind Zhu Yijun and spoke.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about it!" ”

"Li Maocai, a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, Suzhou personnel, the current household department, the family is poor, and he is not a rich businessman. It's just that Li Maocai married his wife Shao Shi, and the Shao family is the home of the official gentry of Suzhou Prefecture. ”

"Mainly engaged in silk, planting mulberry and dyeing cloth, he is one of the few big silk merchants in the south of the Yangtze River."

"There are three dyeing factories in the house, employing more than 2,000 people, and he is a well-known businessman."

After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Zhu Yijun nodded, and understood in his heart that it was really these people who were doing something. It seems that his little luck will not exist, and it is impossible to collect taxes steadily.

As soon as their own tax policy comes out, they will basically be beaten into a mine and a tax supervisor.

Many of Wei Zhongxian's policies are actually reasonable, and he has not been scolded as a gelding. Looking at Wei Zhongxian's life, he has never levied the burden of the people, and when Wei Zhongxian was in power, the land of the people in the northwest was two dollars of silver per mu.

When the Donglin Party, which is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, is in power, the land endowment of the people in the northwest is two taels of silver per acre.

Coupled with the three salaries and levies, as well as the tyranny of the magistrates, it is no wonder that the people can survive. Is there any reason not to rebel? Not to mention anything else, the salary given to Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, was directly bleached by forty percent after being handed over by civilian officials.

Wei Zhongxian raised horses by forcibly selling the riding rights of the forbidden palace, which offended a large number of officials, but did not increase the burden on the peasants. The eunuchs collected all kinds of commercial and sea taxes throughout the country, and although there was great corruption, they did not increase the taxes of the people.

Henan was hit by a disaster at that time, but it was also exempted from taxes, and the inner treasury allocated funds for disaster relief. After the eunuchs overthrew the Donglin Party, the Yellow River waterway, which had not been repaired for decades, began to be repaired.

After the Donglin Party came to power again, firstly, the sea was forbidden and no sea tax was collected, and secondly, the eunuchs who collected commercial taxes such as salt tax and cloth tax were removed from all parts of the country and no longer collected them.

Why, because capitalism was budding at that time, all the money was paid by the landlord class represented by the Donglin Party, which directly caused the emptiness of the treasury, while the landlord class represented by the Donglin Party was rich and rivaled the country.

What should I do if the treasury lacks economic resources? Increasing the peasants' taxes, whether there is a disaster in various places, the taxes are still the same, not a lot, the previous tax arrears, but also to make up, Chongzhen one to 17 years, 17 years did not invest a penny in the management of the Yellow River and the Huai River, the peasants' lives are even worse.

Originally, Zhu Yijun felt that he had done so many things, and he deliberately typed the saying "taken from the people for the people", and the Ministry of Rites suggested that he should build a mausoleum for himself, but he was also beaten back.

Since he ascended the throne, he has four dishes and one soup for every meal, and he has never made a new dress since he became a pro-government. In the sixteen years since he ascended the throne, the palace maids and eunuchs have been cut, and the expenses in the palace have also been reduced.

Every penny is spent on the blade with all my heart, and every penny is used to do big things, but how?

Open source by yourself and hit the northwest by yourself, but how?

The same said that you are like the king of the Yuan Dynasty, and the same that you are evil and harms the people, what about themselves? There are eight living seats, and the servants are like clouds, eager to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the world, but they are reluctant to pay taxes.

Holding the sword on his waist, Zhu Yijun's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Let's try it this time!" ”

"Let's see if your mouth is powerful, or if my sword is powerful!"

It is unrealistic to want them to sing praises to themselves, the Kangqian prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty directly abandoned Yongzheng, but Zhu Yijun has always felt that in the Manchu generation, the only emperor who can see is Yongzheng, but he was hacked.

"Zhang Whale, according to the cabinet's draft decree, announced to the world that the imperial court levies taxes for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and for the benefit of the world. All Ming officials, should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, cooperate with the imperial court to increase business taxes, those who do not cooperate, are disloyal, not worthy of the Ming officials. ”

"Officials in all localities should cooperate with the tax department to collect commercial taxes, and those who are unfavorable in the collection of commercial taxes will be dealt with strictly."

"Spread the decree to the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei has been honored for generations, guarding Nanjing, is the pillar of the country, this time the imperial court collects commercial taxes, it is my intention, and the Duke of Wei should cooperate with the tax department."

"Anyone who guards the military horses in the south of the Yangtze River will be dispatched by the Wei State Government at its discretion, and if they resist the law, they will be severely punished."

Zhang Whale hurriedly bowed to the side and said, "Yes, the old slave is the message!" ”

"Wait a minute, by the way, send an edict to Jinyiwei and the inner factory, and give me to keep an eye on the governors of the provinces and the officials of the feudal territory, if you slack off, play as soon as possible. Send someone to keep an eye on the Wei Mansion, and if the Wei Mansion is false, report it to me. ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale hurriedly said, and after finishing speaking, he retreated.

As the days passed, the atmosphere in the entire court was also strange, and everyone was waiting for the day of collecting business taxes. On the first day of the fifth month, the capital officially began to collect commercial taxes.

Business tax began to be levied on all large and small shops inside and outside the capital, production tax was levied on coal mines and iron ores, and transaction tax was levied on bulk goods. The Shuntian Mansion was carried out in an orderly manner and without any disorder.

The carriage of the tax department walked slowly down the street, and when it came to a shop, it bowed its hand.

I handed over the tax bill, then collected the money and went to the next house, and everything went in order.

The capital is full of Jude.

Since its opening, it has become a new attraction in the capital, and it is not a separate building, but a high-end club. The main purpose of this shop is not to sell roast duck, but to make a name for itself.

It's not so much a shop as a garden.

In the courtyard, the flowing water, the trees are luxuriant, the rockeries are strange, and in the shade of the trees, the small buildings are scattered, which looks very elegant. In the middle of the garden is a library with a collection of books.

This is already a good place for literati and artists in the capital to meet.

The delicious roast chicken and duck are paired with wine from all over the country, especially the fruit wine that is unique to the region, and it is a real pleasure to drink it in a transparent glass.

While drinking, while talking about the world, it is really unforgettable.

In the shade of green trees, a young man dressed in white came, chasing a white jade pendant around his waist, and holding a folding fan in his hand, on the fan was a picture of mountains and rivers.

There are four words on the fan "mountains and rivers inside the surface", and the seal below is two words: Xu Wei.

This means that this fan is from Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, who are known as the first genius of the Ming Dynasty. Behind the young man was an old man in a splendid costume, but at a glance he knew it was a servant.

On the other side was a young man holding a sword, who looked like he was supposed to be a guard.

This young man with an extraordinary temperament is naturally none other than Zhu Yijun, the son of tomorrow.

The capital began to collect commercial taxes, and he was naturally not at ease, and he couldn't do things with peace of mind in the palace, so he simply came out to take a look. It turned out that the capital was peaceful up and down.

The collection of commercial taxes went smoothly, and no one made trouble at all.

In fact, Zhu Yijun knew very clearly, this is because no one dares to make trouble above, who are the people who buy and sell in the capital, the nobles and the ministers of the court, these people have been held down by themselves, they dare not move, and others naturally dare not move.

The smooth collection of taxes in Shuntianfu made Zhu Yijun feel a lot better, so he had the leisure to come here.

This Quanjude Garden, in fact, is just a corner of the luxury life in the western suburbs of Beijing, after Zhu Yijun's mention, the operation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, here is really a convergence of the north and south.

Whether it's good stuff or fun, there's it all here.

Walking in the garden, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, this feeling is really good. Walking and walking, Zhu Yijun suddenly saw a pavilion in front of him, and immediately wanted to go over and take a rest.

It's just that as soon as he walked in, Zhu Yijun heard someone arguing inside.

"I don't dare to agree with the words of the foot, all the businessmen in the world are extremely rich, and a little business tax will make them unable to live? So that the people can't live? This is a great fallacy. ”

"The imperial court is the place where the yin and yang are regulated, taking the wealth of the rich and powerful, training the army and building roads, and governing the rivers and canals, which is a great merit, how can it hurt the people? The affairs of the world do not suffer from many but unevenly, and the court is too much, which is actually a matter within the court. ”

"It is a wise policy to steal that the first officials and gentry of the imperial court will pay grain in one piece, and then the new commercial tax will be introduced."

"Your Majesty today, wise and wise, virtuous and well-known, since he ascended the throne, close to the people and diligent in government, fifteen years without repairing the palace, the daily imperial meal is only four dishes and one soup, why not?"

"In order to be rich and powerful, chasing the north from the dead, Your Majesty is a wise monarch who is rare in the world, and he is really the Holy Monarch of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, and the matter of business and taxation once again proves Your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom."

"Our students, it is really comforting to have to meet the Lord and serve him!"

Zhu Yijun gently shook the folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his face, yes, this student is very good, this is very reasonable, deep heart, very good, very good.

At this time, another person's voice also rang out.

"Brother Tai Wu does not dare to agree, His Majesty is wise and wise, and he is the master of Zhongxing, which naturally does not need to be repeated by Brother Tai, this is something that everyone in the world knows."

"We are talking about commercial taxes today, not Your Majesty."

Zhu Yijun didn't believe this, compared to the heartfelt attitude of reverence for himself before, this is obviously a lot more hypocritical. However, people like Zhu Yijun have seen a lot, so you can listen to what he has to say.

"Taxes, the foundation of the imperial court, Wu will not repeat this, the focus is on how to collect this tax and how to use it."

"How to use taxes, this is what His Majesty has done today, should be a model for the past dynasties, taken from the people and for the people, it should really be deafening, and it can be a permanent example for future generations to pay taxes."

"However, how to collect taxes, Wu feels that it should be mainly light-hearted."

"Your Majesty's abolition of forced labor and the substitution of silver money for labor are the policy of the sages. However, this tax is not a thin tax. Those who cultivate and read heirlooms, raise silkworms and weave cloth, this kind of mulberry has to pay taxes, and the woven cloth has to pay production taxes. ”

"Cloth trading is subject to transaction tax, and cloth sales are subject to business tax."

"A piece of cloth has to pay taxes from the beginning of planting mulberry, and it has to pay taxes four times until it is sold. This is already a heavy tax! Such a heavy tax will inevitably lead to soaring prices, and merchants will not be profitable. ”

"In this way, it will inevitably lead to a strike by businessmen and a poor flow of goods between the north and the south."

"When prices soar, the people have no money to buy cloth, so how can the people cloth? Land production is limited, once the price is very high and the real estate is insufficient, how can the people provide for themselves? ”

"Such a heavy tax is not advisable, isn't it competing with the people for profit? Why can't you hide the wealth from the people? If the people are rich, the country will be rich, do you still have to say this truth again? ”

Zhu Yijun listened to the eloquent talk of this surnamed Wu, and raised his eyebrows.

This person said it nicely, but he was secretly changing the concept, and to put it bluntly, he was against commercial taxes, no matter how high-sounding he said, it was useless. The so-called wealth is hidden from the people, and the wealth of the people is the wealth of the country, in Zhu Yijun's view, this is a false proposition.

Of course, the prosperity of the people is good, and it is what every ruler expects.

But how can the people be rich and the country be rich? If it is not through taxation and cannot collect taxes, the people are rich, how can the country be rich? Besides, is the current Ming Dynasty rich for the people? No, the current Ming Dynasty is rich in officials and businessmen, and it is rich in scholars, not rich in the Ming people.

Zhu Yijun had to sigh, this person has the style of the Donglin Party!
