Since Wang Yongji served in the Department of Taxation, he has conducted intensive research on taxation, and has also talked with Zhu Yijun in detail, and his understanding of taxation is very profound. Especially what Zhu Yijun said, Wang Yongji still remembers it.

"Take it from the people, use it for the people!"

Although it is only eight words, it is full of the truth of taxation.

The emperor has an estate, and the emperor's property must also pay taxes, and all the income from taxes goes into the treasury. The emperor can spend money if he wants, but he can't touch the money in the treasury, so he can only use his own private money.

Of course, these emperors have told Wang Yongji that they are the goal in the future.

In the words of the emperor, "the tax department will open a new chapter for eternity", which is also the reason why Wang Yongji is willing to work hard for it. Reading the book of sages, maybe for Yan Ruyu, maybe for the golden house, but also for the realization of the big ambition and big pattern in my heart.

Wang Yongji had such an ideal with him at this time, and he could feel that there was a fire burning in his heart.

But many times, the flame needs to be contained, otherwise it is likely to ignite itself, this "Please Return the Land" is a basin of cold water poured by Wang Yongji on himself, and it is also a helpless compromise to reality.

Dedication, this is a group of people taking advantage of loopholes, or it is not a loophole, but dereliction of duty, and it is an official who bends the law.

After all, the original intention of giving tax exemption to scholars is good, but tax exemption does not mean not paying taxes, but civil officials and students have made tax exemption into no tax payment. Local officials turn a blind eye to this because they are part of it.

Even carried forward the tax exemption and made such a monster of dedication.

Ordinary people don't understand anything, they don't know the meaning of taxes, they just know that they don't pay taxes. As a result, the imperial court's tax revenue is getting smaller and smaller, and it can't afford to raise an army or provide disaster relief, and all these people should be punished.

But no!

Not only could the people who made the sacrifice be punished, but even the gentry who were offered could not be punished.

Shandong Confucian family, covering an innumerable area, of which the donation accounts for seven or eight out of ten, if these lands are confiscated, then how will the people who donate themselves? Will they lose their land and let them rent public land?

There are so many problems with public land in the Ming Dynasty, and the people have always been reluctant to rent public land.

All public land, not only must taxes be collected, but also the land rent is very high, and there are corrupt officials who are corrupt and corrupt in the law, if these fields are in the hands of local officials, it will not take a few years, and there will inevitably be civil unrest in Shandong.

As an official, he is appointed for a term of three years, as long as something happens to me in office, I will treat him with a flood.

Everyone is like playing drumming and passing flowers, and whoever passes it to is unlucky.

Wang Yongji couldn't let Shandong go into chaos, so he thought of another way, that is, to divide the land. The confiscated land was distributed to tenant farmers. There are those who have been forcibly occupied, and of course, there are those who have surrendered in the first place.

The two are mixed, and it is impossible to divide them, so they can only divide the land together.

If the land is returned to them, and they become yeoman farmers, and with the gentry paying for the grain in one piece, it will become meaningless to contribute. Normal land sales and acquisitions, it doesn't matter, you can buy it if you have money!

Wang Yongjicai doesn't believe that anyone has the money to buy so much land, 100 acres of fertile land is 8,000 taels of silver, I will take a look if you buy 10,000 acres!

The more he wrote, the more excited Wang Yongji became, and he didn't respond when his entourage came in to give him a lamp, until he finished writing the recital, and Wang Yongji sat up. Gently unfolded the piece, and Wang Yongji's body stiffened.

"Someone, someone!" Wang Yongji tried to stand up, but failed, and could only call someone.

With the support of his entourage, Wang Yongji stood up and walked back and forth gently, with a bright expression on his face. Although the distribution of land will displease those who donate, it will make the landless tenant farmers happy.

The people's will must be available, and Wang Yongji believes that there will be countless people who will miss him and the emperor's kindness.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the fold sent by Shandong, the expression on his face was very indifferent, put the fold aside, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Xu De wants to come back, pass the decree to him, since he is out, then there is no need to come back in such a hurry." ”

After a slight sigh, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Let him follow Wang Yongji to Nanjing!" ”

Although Shandong is a hard bone, Jiangnan is the same hard bone, but Shandong and Jiangnan are different. That place was like a big net, woven from officials to gentry, impenetrable.

Wang Yongji bumped into it, Zhu Yijun was afraid that he would hit his head and bleed, with Xu De here, Zhu Yijun was also relieved.

Picked up a copy again, Zhu Yijun glanced at it and put it aside, this is a copy of the book, the person who is guaranteed is a person named Li Yi, and the official position he was promoted is Qufu County.

Qufu is very important, and the candidate of the county is also very important, Zhu Yijun decided to arrange a capable person to go.

This Li Yi is a capable person, he was born in an inner factory, he asked for food in Shandong when he was a child, and the whole family died, and only he survived. Zhu Yijun thinks that it is good for Shandong people to return to Shandong, and the mountains and rivers of his hometown are more cordial after all.

Cabinet.

Shen Shixing looked at Wang Yongji's "Please Return the Land Shu" in his hand, sighed and said: "Wang Yongji is a great talent!" Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Shixing directly drafted the vote on it, and only wrote two words: approval!

Reaching out to pick up a notebook, Shen Shixing frowned when he saw it.

"Please reduce agricultural taxes"!

The one who went on this piece was Dai Wei, the imperial envoy of Huguang of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and when he opened the book, Shen Shixing's brows furrowed. On this recital, Dai Wei wantonly told about the people's suffering, and the people's hardships.

After the gentry paid the grain in one piece, the imperial court's annual income increased greatly, and it was time to reduce or reduce taxes.

Shen Shixing sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and tapped on this recital, which made him embarrassed. If it is placed in an ordinary time, this kind of music is also called. Every year, there are more people who play like this, and no one cares.

But at this time, this twist and turn is very subtle.

Shandong's affairs are over, and the tax revenue north of the Yangtze River is basically no problem, and everyone has seen the results of the official gentry's integrated payment of grain. Today's tax payment must be a jaw-dropping number, what will the emperor think about the reduction and exemption of taxes at this time.

Maybe it's loyalty, for the sake of the people, if the court has money, then collect less.

Maybe it's not loyalty at all, but that his family has paid a lot of taxes, and he is distressed.

At this time, once there is a commotion, something will happen. After all, the gentry receive food in one piece, but the interests of all the gentry are touched, and once this fire is lit, who knows what it will burn into.

"Respectfully, Holy Judge!"

After pondering for a long time, Shen Shixing also came up with a good way to write these words directly on the fold.

Soon, Zhu Yijun, who was in the Wenhua Palace, saw this recital, and immediately stretched out his hand and threw it aside. For Zhu Yijun at this stage, these things can be completely ignored and useless.

In fact, Zhu Yijun is confident, and he is now completely in control of the court.

Although the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty existed, the real peak period began in the 10,000 years, and after the defeat of Zhang Juzheng, the Jiangling Party was also purged. Originally, Zhang Siwei was supposed to be in power, but it turned out that this point was too back.

When he was about to reach the top, his father died, and then the family kept dying, and finally he died.

The vacuum period in the court caused more fierce partisan disputes, the Donglin Party and the Qizhechu Party. The Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu Party represented the traditional landlord class in the north, while the Donglin Party represented the emerging southern gentry class.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse made great use of the struggle between the two sides and cultivated his own eunuch party.

When the eunuch party was completely defeated by Emperor Chongzhen, the Donglin party was left dominant, and at that time, the emperor completely lost control of the gentry group. Emperor Chongzhen also thought about saving the situation and killed many high-ranking ministers, but it was useless at that time.

Because the people who came up were still from the Donglin Party, Zhu Yijun was not afraid of these now.

It is the Gangneung Party that is in power in the court, and most of the officials below are also from the Gangneung Party, and Zhang Juzheng's examination method has swept away disobedient officials. As long as you don't die, you will be able to firmly control the power of this country.

With the support of the army, I can't make trouble if I want to, and what I am most afraid of is that the ministers and local officials who control the court are of the same party.

For example, in the Donglin Party, the cabinet scholars are their people, the six Shangshu are their people, and the local officials are also their people, and the emperor doesn't have a little chip in his hand, so it is impossible for you to do anything at that time.

Zhu Yijun now has these people from the Jiangling Party in the court, holding the Dongchang Inner Factory, and the Beijing Camp with strong combat effectiveness.

Although it has not yet reached the point of intimidating the world, it is also qualified to ignore other people's ideas. For example, this "Land Tax Reduction", Zhu Yijun can completely ignore it, and you can make a fuss about it.

The Donglin Party is so powerful, isn't it that it was beaten by the Eunuch Party and had no power to fight back, not to mention these old guys in the court now.

"Reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and tapped the fold, turned to Zhang Whale and said: "Let the cabinet draft a decree to transfer the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Imperial History of the Wang Seal into Beijing, by the way, what position does that Wang Jiaping have?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Wang Jiaping is now the young Zhan of the James's Mansion!" Zhang Whale hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "According to the cabinet's plan, I will be transferred to the right capital of the Imperial History!" ”

In the next few days, there were still people who wrote to reduce taxes on the fields, but these twists and turns did not even reach the celebrant and were suppressed directly in the cabinet. The main ministers of the court did not talk about this issue, and this issue did not splash at all.

Shandong, Qufu.

Wang Yongji looked at the holy decree covered with the emperor's jade seal, and a smile appeared on his face, his own performance was approved by the emperor, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The emperor also asked Xu De to go to Nanjing with him, and Wang Yongji was even happier. This time in Shandong, he can be regarded as seeing the ability of this father-in-law Xu.
