The crackdown lasted for more than half a month, and the security in the capital also improved, so the crackdown entered the second stage, and began to shift from the civilian sector to the government.

With Dingguo Gong as an example, Xungui's side went very smoothly.

The Jinyi Weidong Factory abolished the money, and the Yamen of the Shuntian Mansion also abolished the money, and a large number of people who wanted to eat and take cards were disposed of.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the imperial court implements a new commercial tax, exempts the tax of Guanjin, and the business tax is levied in Shuntianfu!"

On the streets of the capital, the newsboy shook the newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly.

Hearing this shout, countless people began to snap up the newspaper, and today's newspaper is particularly popular. When it was sold out, the newsboy turned and ran back, ready to get new newspapers and sell them.

The news of the imperial court's introduction of a new commercial tax spread throughout Beijing in an instant.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

The new business tax was introduced, and Zhu Yijun's heart was not so confident, and he was correcting and correcting with peace of mind every day, and his heart couldn't calm down today, standing outside the hall to calm himself.

This time, the commercial tax was levied nationwide, and the business tax was levied in Suncheonfu.

"What is the public opinion of the ministers?" Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Whale and asked.

In fact, what the people say, Zhu Yijun doesn't pay much attention to it, as long as there is no chaos in the court, everything else is a small matter. For ordinary people, the impact of the new business tax is also minimal.

Maybe the goods will usher in a wave of price increases, but Zhu Yijun knows that the price increase will not last long.

You must know that the commerce of the Ming Dynasty is very prosperous now, but not all commerce is prosperous, but the government and businessmen monopolize the prosperity of commerce, and the people have no purchasing power.

Once the price rises, the people will have a hard time, but with the current economic system of the Ming Dynasty, the people can't afford it.

It will be those middle class who will have a hard time, and their cost of living will increase, but Zhu Yijun has already asked the Internal Affairs Office to stabilize prices. Push prices down and squeeze out profits.

With the current capacity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not very difficult to do this.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers of the court have no public opinion." Zhang Whale hurriedly spoke: "Although some people criticize it, it is also a small part, and it is harmless." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so it's good.

In the current Ming court, Zhu Yijun's control is very high, and the ministers of the court also know how to get along with Zhu Yijun. Another point is that the imperial court is not controlled by officials and businessmen, which is very important.

Although the Jin merchants and Zhejiang merchants reached in, Zhu Yijun had already used the Yan Administration and the Internal Affairs Office to beat them down, and those who didn't beat them down also incorporated them, which made the obstacle much smaller.

Although there are many officials and businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, it has not yet reached the point where no officials in the world do business during the Donglin Party period.

If at that time, Zhu Yijun's current policy will be useless, and with the foundation of Zhang Juzheng's arrangement, the imperial court's control over the local area will still be there, not like later, when the imperial court's holy decree is not easy to use in the hands of local officials.

To that extent, Zhu Yijun has no good way, maybe he can only choose to build a eunuch party.

Those who are obedient and do everything will inevitably not be those with vested interests, and after they come to power, they will inevitably launch a struggle against those with vested interests, and this kind of struggle is often unscrupulous and life-and-death.

The struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin party is like this, and the Donglin party is also very ruthless, and the direct evolution is either/or.

"That's good!" Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

Nanjing City, Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Shenxing Nanjing, on the one hand, was preparing to recruit Li Dan, and on the other hand, he was sitting in Nanjing. Li Shenxing, the new commercial tax of the imperial court, already knew about it, and Zhu Yijun asked him to go to Nanjing in order to help the tax department.

"My lord, that Li He is back again!" The scribe of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said to Li Shenxing.

Li Shenxing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let him come in!" ”

It didn't take long for Li He to walk in from the outside, looking like a dusty man. After seeing Li Shenxing, Li He hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Villain Li He, I've seen an adult!" ”

Li Shenxing nodded, and then said with a smile: "Sit down!" ”

When Li He sat down, Li Shenxing said, "This time is it going well?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, things are going well, my uncle has already taken a boat to the open sea, and is ready to invite Lord Li to go to sea to talk in detail." Li He said directly, but as he spoke, Li He peeked at Li Shenxing.

When Li Shenxing heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Li Gong is this scared?"

Although Li Shenxing was not polite at all, Li He's expression remained unchanged at all, in fact, Li Dan was afraid, not ashamed at all, Li He said directly: "Uncle Jia doesn't want to repeat the old things of the Wufeng shipowner. ”

Hearing this, Li Shenxing was furious, his face sank instantly, and he reached out and squatted the teacup on the table.

This time it startled Li He, he knew that these words might anger Li Shenxing, but he didn't expect Li Shenxing to react so much, and looked at Li Shenxing with some confusion.

"Who is Wang Zhiyu Hai? That's the Wako, what are they doing? plundered my people. ”

"With the body of the Ming Dynasty, going to sea to be a Japanese coward has simply lost the face of our Ming people. Such people are punished by everyone, and they did not appear in front of the official, otherwise the official would have slashed him with a sword! ”

This was awe-inspiring, but Li He was very unimpressed.

You Li Shenxing said it nicely, what does your Li family do, really we don't know? Jin Shang four, what did you start, we don't know? When you were smuggling salt and iron in the Northlands, we hadn't even gone to sea!

It is simply inexplicable to say such righteous words now.

Li Shenxing glanced at Li Dan and asked loudly, "Could it be that Li Dan also has this heart?" If that's the case, then you go back and tell Li Dan, let him wash his neck and wait, and the official will give it to His Majesty and send a large army to ask for it. ”

Although what Li Shenxing said was scary, Li He still heard something meaningful.

Hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "What do you mean by this, my lord?" My Li family will never accept such slanderous words from adults! My Li family is the people of the Ming Dynasty and the people under His Majesty's rule. ”

"Although we are in charge of lowly business, we are also forced by life and have no way to continue, so we have to go to sea to beg for a bite to eat."

"But it is absolutely impossible to go to sea for the Japanese and rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if my Li family starves to death, they will never do such a thing inferior to beasts."

"My lord slandered my Li family so much, my Li family is not convinced, look at his words and check his deeds, have my Li family ever done these things? Why did the adults slander my Li family with trumped-up charges! ”

The more Li He spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he looked at Li Shenxing with a neck.

"The first emperor is shining with candles, opening a port in Yuegang, allowing the people to go to sea to trade, my Li family is the precursor of the holy king, not to mention meritorious, but the adults slander the Li family so much, doesn't it make the Li family feel cold?"

Although the two people seem to be arguing, they are actually showing their attitude.

Li Shenxing pointed out, your Li family is not a pirate, nor a pirate, and has not robbed the people of the Ming Dynasty, so why should you worry about being treated by the owner of the Wufeng ship? You are different from Wang Zhi, this is characterizing Li Dan, and you are also distinguishing Li Dan from the Japanese Kou.

As for you robbing homes and houses overseas and robbing merchant ships, the court doesn't care, as long as you don't rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, so don't worry, don't worry!

Li He said, we really haven't done this, we are loyal Ming people.

We went to sea to do business, which was allowed by the emperor, and our hearts were to the Ming Dynasty, and there was absolutely no second heart.

The two of them set the tone of the whole thing by arguing, and after setting the main tone, then things are much easier to talk about. Li Shenzhi said directly: "Since this is the case, then don't mention the old story of the owner of the Five Peaks." ”

"As soon as you say it, this official knows that Li Gong is a person, and he should be an example for Daming maritime businessmen."

Li He hurriedly bowed to the ground: "The righteousness of the adults is that the villain spends the belly of the gentleman with the heart of the villain, the adults don't remember the villains, and the little ones apologize to the adults here!" ”

The two of them once again resumed the attitude of hello, hello, hello, everyone, and started talking from scratch.

"Gong Li can rest assured that he can go ashore, and the official can go to the dock to greet him." Li Shenxing took a sip of tea and said with a smile, he shouted very loudly just now, his throat was quite dry, and he had to drink some tea to moisten his throat.

Li He said with a smile: "Master Li, Uncle Jia has long had the intention of going ashore. ”

"Uncle Jia has left Damin for many years, thinking of his homeland, now that the Son of Heaven is in power, Uncle Jia has met many lords of small foreign countries abroad, these people are also admiring Daming, and want to enter Beijing with Uncle Jia to face the saint."

"Uncle Jia wants to ask Master Li to act as the emperor on his behalf and allow Uncle Jia to enter Beijing to face the saint."

Li He's meaning, or Li Dan's meaning is very simple, I can't trust you officials. At that time, Hu Zongxian was the governor of the southeast and led the military and political affairs of the southeast, so what?

He recruited Wang Zhi, but he was not killed by Wang Shizhen.

The result? Wang Shizhen's official road is prosperous, Qingyun is straight, what about Wang Zhi? The bones are rotten. If you officials are unreliable, if you want to rely on it, then I will also find someone who can be relied on.

Today, it is a powerful person, and the momentum is unmatched for a while.

With the emperor's endorsement, then it is foolproof, no one dares to do anything, what do you dare to do? Wouldn't that slap the emperor's face, slap the emperor's face, and the whole door is light, but today's emperor's knife is very sharp!

Wang Shizhen dared to slap Hu Zongxian's face, I will take a look at you if you hit the emperor's face?

Of course, Li Shenxing also knew what Li Dan meant, and after a moment of silence, Li Shenxing also felt that this was a good way. Compared with going to sea to see Li Dan to talk, there are many benefits of simplicity and convenience.

Of course, this is also because Li Shenxing has enough understanding of his family's son.

This majesty of his own family does not hesitate to do good things at all, but he does not have false tricks in his majesty. Li Dan went to Beijing to ask for guilt, and the emperor would inevitably accept it generously.

Li Shenxing looked at Li Dan and said, "Li Gong has this heart, I will be Your Majesty!" ”

Hearing Li Shenxing say this, Li He also breathed a sigh of relief: "Such a villain is waiting for news from adults!" ”

In fact, Li Dan's heart to return to the Ming Dynasty is very urgent, more urgent than Li Shenxing thought. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was powerful on the side of the Japanese country, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, whom he supported, shrank up.

At the same time, Yangyi is powerful, and he also needs a new backer.

Now back to Daming, with the support of Daming, his strength will be greatly enhanced.

Of course, this has to be accepted by Daming sincerely, which Li Dan needs to determine, so he will put forward this condition, let him enter the capital to face the saint, and let the emperor endorse himself.

In the name of leading the tributary of the small vassal states, Li Dan did not think that the emperor would trick himself into the capital and then kill himself.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to save face, this kind of thing Li Dan believes that this young son of heaven can't do it.

The matter was finalized, Li He left the yamen of the Internal Affairs Office, and he was going to go back to see Li Dan and tell his uncle about today's events. As for Li Shenxing, he wants to help the tax department collect commercial taxes, and Li Dan's affairs can only be put behind for the time being.

The matter of Daming commercial tax can be said to have shocked the whole world, and everyone's reaction is different.

Compared with the relatively stable situation in the court, the public opinion of the people is so positive. There are all those who say anything, but no one dares to openly come out and resist the orders of the imperial court.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun banged on the table, the expression on his face was very indifferent, but Zhang Whale, who was standing next to Zhu Yijun, was frightened, he knew that the emperor was angry, and he was very angry.

On weekdays, when the emperor saw the twists and turns that made him angry, it was nothing more than a scolding.

But when he entered the emperor and saw this recital, his face did not change, but there was murder in his eyes. Zhang Whale saw that the emperor's hand had touched the long sword on his waist several times, and it was obvious that the emperor was moved to kill.

Zhu Yijun is indeed murderous, and it is indeed because of this twist and turn in his hands.

The name of this recital is simple: please strike the business tax!

There is only one idea of loyalty, the emperor's taxes are too heavy, but it is a tyrannical expropriation, and the emperor already has the internal affairs office as a tool to collect money, is it not enough? Do you still have to levy it, and you still have to collect it!

There is a paragraph in which Zhu Yijun is moved to kill, and it is a big murderous intention.

"The heart of one person is the heart of tens of thousands. The emperor wants gold and silver to be higher than Beidou, and not to let the people have the reserve of chaff and rise. The emperor wants to plan for his descendants for thousands of years, but not for the people to have a plan overnight. ”

"Looking at the past, there is such a decree in the imperial court, and there is such a scene in the world, and there is no chaos? In the past, the Yuan government was not outlined, the goods were insatiable, and the group of small people were good at their lives, so Emperor Gao fought hard to take this sword, such as destroying the withering and decaying. This is not far away. ”

This passage is very clear, the emperor, you are so talented in the world, and you don't give the people a way to live, then the Ming Dynasty will be like the Yuan Dynasty that conquered and conquered the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty, and sooner or later someone will be like Emperor Taizu, rise up and resist and take your Ming world with a sword.

directly described commercial taxation as a chaotic country, accusing Zhu Yijun of being a monarch like the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, if you do this, you will definitely lose the country.
