"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to change the ancestral system without permission, right?"

Shen Shixing was the first to speak this time, and said with a hesitant expression on his face: "Tax exemption has been used for so many years, and if you really do this, I am afraid that it will be criticized by many people!" ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing and said, "Does Shen Aiqing think this matter is not good?" ”

"On the contrary, I think it's very good, some poor students don't have land, you give him tax exemption, he can't get benefits, what's the use? It's better to give him money and food directly, which is also a good thing for the students. ”

But there is a cast!

There was a word in everyone's hearts, but no one was embarrassed to say it.

The manifestation itself is not a glorious thing, it is taking advantage of the loopholes of the law, and the court has also thought of a lot of methods, at least on the surface, to stop the wind of casting, but the effect is not great.

In fact, it is obviously a paradox that you let people with vested interests reform their interests!

If the matter of cash investment is taken out now, then this policy will be more conducive to stopping the wind of cash investment, and it is estimated that the emperor will implement it more vigorously. Thinking of this, Shen Shixing suddenly blessed his soul and glanced up at Zhu Yijun.

Seeing Zhu Yijun looking at himself quietly, he instantly understood.

The emperor doesn't know what the cash is, this is pretending not to know, and the emperor also knows the impact of this policy, which clearly wants to abolish the tax-free privileges of scholars. In other words, the tax-exempt privilege that has been opened by the scholars.

Shen Shixing can figure it out, and others can naturally figure it out, and no one will speak in an instant.

In fact, the ministers here have long passed the stage of paying taxes, and even if all the land is taxed, it will not affect them much. Zhang Siwei's family is a salt merchant, and he is also the number one salt merchant in the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as extremely rich.

Paying some land tax is actually nothing at all, but this matter is not easy to do!

"I think Your Majesty is a good idea!" When everyone hesitated, Zhang Siwei spoke first: "The minister thinks that what His Majesty said is very reasonable, and directly distributing money and food does save a lot of trouble." ”

"First, the trouble of collecting taxes is eliminated, and secondly, it can also bring more benefits to the scholars."

"After all, the eradication of fields is limited, and it is not every year that the wind and rain are smooth, and the direct distribution of money and grain can be described as drought and flood to ensure income, and when the imperial court's finances are good, more can be issued. For those scholars whose families are poor and really can't afford to read, they can also be appropriately inclined and take more care. ”

"Your Majesty can think of such a good plan, it is really a blessing for the world's scholars."

"The ministers of the world have thanked the emperor for his kindness, and the ministers feel that they will also know the emperor's painstaking efforts, and the emperor's policy will be praised by the world."

Everyone looked at Zhang Siwei in surprise, are you crazy?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Siwei's words fell, everyone else turned their heads to look at Zhang Siwei, Lord Shoufu, are you crazy? If you do this, you are not afraid of being infamous and infamous? Everyone can imagine the effect of this policy when it goes out.

Not to mention the world's scolding, it is estimated that it is almost the same, the scholar will not scold the emperor, but he will definitely scold you, the head of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Siwei approvingly, nodded with a smile and said, "Very good, Zhang Ge Lao is deeply heartfelt." ”

When everyone was surprised that Zhang Siwei said this, another person also spoke, and this person was Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"The emperor also feels that this policy is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, the students can reduce the burden, and the court can save manpower and material resources, which is a good thing, and the minister agrees." After saying this, Yan Qing shut up again and stopped talking.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Yan Qing and was slightly surprised, you must know that Yan Qing rarely speaks on weekdays.

Except for the affairs of his own criminal department, Yan Qing rarely cares about anything, and now after listening to his words, Zhu Yijun found that this stubborn old man had another side, so he said with a smile: "Okay, Yan Aiqing said it well." ”

Everyone didn't expect Yan Qing to say this, they glanced at each other, and they didn't say anything if they wanted to object.

"Okay, then this matter is decided, and the cabinet will come up with a charter as soon as possible." Zhu Yijun saw that there were two people who supported him, so he made a decision directly, then stood up and walked outside.

The expressions on the faces of the cabinet scholars and the six scholars were different, and the impact of this news was too great. Compared with the matter of Yang Shiyin, Pan Jitao's matter is simply a small thing.

Sure enough, after the news of Yang Shiyin spread, it caused an uproar in an instant.

It's just that if you don't know what's going on in this matter, you can go back and do a little math, if you really implement the policy of raising the bank, then you have to pay a tax every year in your family.

The more land you have, the more taxes you pay, which makes it difficult for you to accept.

The news of Zhang Siwei and Yan Qing's approval also spread, and many people focused on these two people. The twists and turns of the impeachment and the sound of discussion can be said to be very loud for a while, and the noise is endless.

The smart people in the officialdom have realized that this time the Ming officialdom is afraid that it will experience a big shock.

Of course, there are also those who support this policy, such as Li Zhi, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who united many people to play a setback, vigorously advocated Zhu Yijun's policy, and refuted the statement that it violated the ancestral system.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the fold in his hand, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Siwei!

The people who are in favor of this policy are basically all Zhang Siwei's people.

Obviously, after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei's idea of seizing power all the time was not realized, and he kept squinting at home and waiting for an opportunity. After living in the shadow of Zhang Juzheng for so many years, Zhang Siwei naturally does not lack patience.

As soon as he brought it up this time, Zhang Siwei instantly sensed that his opportunity had come.

This matter will definitely cause an uproar, and it will also cause countless people to oppose it, this is the opportunity for him Zhang Siwei to rise. On top of the court discussion, Zhang Siwei made up his mind in an instant, and he was the first to stand up and support.

After going back, Zhang Siwei began to use his own people, began to advocate loudly, and wrote to express his approval.

Zhu Yijun looked at the folds of approval, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. To be honest, because of Zhang Juzheng's problems in his previous life, Zhu Yijun was really disgusted with Zhang Siwei and felt that he was not a good thing.

Although Zhu Yijun also knew that this was the reason why he sympathized with Zhang Juzheng, that feeling just couldn't dissipate.

However, this time the incident taught Zhu Yijun a lesson, people will change, and many people have no persistence, and there is no lower limit. The choice Zhang Siwei made was just the most beneficial choice he made in his position.

"Chen Ju, the cabinet is going to do it!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Chen Ju, who was waiting, and said lightly.

"Li Zhi, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is loyal and upright, diligent in recognizing things, and is not afraid of the powerful.

Although Zhu Yijun knew that doing this would make a group of people who were inclined to sing praises, and it would also make a group of people with ulterior motives gather under Zhang Siwei's door. But at this time, I need these people.

When implementing this policy, as long as they support their own implementation, it doesn't matter who they are.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun finally understood why the emperor would appoint traitors, and sometimes, the emperor had no choice. If you don't recognize them, you can't do what you want to do, these people basically have no principles and bottom lines, they dare to agree to anything, and they can agree to anything.

"Yes, the emperor, the slave is going to deliver the decree!" Saying this, Chen Ju turned around and walked outside.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Xu is here!" Liu Se came to Zhu Yijun's side, bowed down and said.

Nodding, Zhu Yijun said directly: "Okay, let him in!" ”

It didn't take long for Xu De to walk in, and respectfully saluted Zhu Yijun and said, "Emperor, the person you asked the slave to find, the slave and the maid have found it!" ”

"Let's talk about it!" Zhu Yijun nodded and said indifferently.

"Li Zhenchu's surname was Lin, his name was Zaizhen, and he later changed his surname to Li, his name was Zhen, his name was Hongfu, he was born in Quanzhou, Fujian, he was raised in the 31st year of Jiajing, he was the successor of the Taizhou School of Yangming Xinxue, and he was the prefect of Yao'an in Wanli."

"Soon after becoming the prefect, Li Zhen resigned and returned to his hometown of Huang'an, Hubei, where he lived in Geng's house, wrote some articles on reading history, and taught the children of the Geng family."

"Li Zhen also gave lectures many times in Macheng, criticized current politics, and pointed out the evils of the times, and allowed men and women from all walks of life to attend the lectures, and was warmly welcomed."

"The slave maid once found out that Li Zhen once said, 'If there is a half-talented person in the imperial court' appears, so that the talented man of the 'great sage' can be effective, he will be killed in retribution, and he will not be ungrateful."

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Is he talking about himself?" However, there is a bit of a confidant in this sentence, which sounds more like the relationship between the Spring and Autumn scholars and the master's family, which is very interesting. ”

"Tell me what he thinks!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Although the Taizhou School of Yangming Xinxue has always been reprimanded as a heretic and rejected by Shilin, I am still quite interested, I heard that he often criticizes Lixue? ”

Xu De nodded: "Emperor, it is not a secret that the discord between the study of mind and the science of science, the Taizhou school is particularly fierce, and their criticism of the science is very harsh. ”

Although many of Li Zhen's remarks are deviant, his salvation eyes are still on the court, so as to hope that the officials of the court will have "merciful talents" and are willing to repay them with "scholars", in the final analysis, he is still a scholar.

From beginning to end, he didn't jump out of the idea of loyalty, and looked more like Kang Youwei in later generations.

If he really jumped out of the shackles of thinking, he should advocate that there is no king and no father, instead of pinning his hopes on the court. However, if he really advocated that he had no king and no father, Zhu Yijun would not send someone to investigate him, and wanted to use him, so he directly found someone to kill him.
