Yang Qing's sudden true form was revealed, which directly stunned those ministers, and they looked at his hideous face one by one.

"You, you ......"

Xu Shiqi pointed at him and said with trembling lips.

"Am I rebellious?"

Yang Qing made up for him to follow up.

"Then it's a big rebellion! What else can you do? Did you suddenly find that you were useless at all? Do you find that your general ethics, your sages' ways, and your system's nets are all just paper tigers in the face of force?

One poke and it breaks.

Essentially, you are still helpless.

I'm really curious, why didn't those men in the Tang Dynasty bring Wu hooks, if a scholar and a scholar Wanhu Marquis, how did they degenerate to the point where you only have mouth cannons now? Do you want to drag me to block your guns with the righteousness of a monarch and a minister? Then I'll tell you, loyalty, never been my goal? If you want me to protect you, then lower your head and take out everything that should be taken out, and we are now in a cooperative relationship. My subordinates protect you, you provide for my subordinates, since you cooperate, you must have a cooperative appearance, at least in terms of power, we can't make any difference, the military generals will not override the military generals, and the civil ministers don't want to dominate the military generals.

The prison is still hanging on top.

We run the country together, you and the Jiangnan gentry behind you pay taxes to keep this regime running, and I take the army to protect the peace and stability of this regime from outside encroachment.

Protect your wind and snow as well.

The relationship is simple.

So why do you have to imagine that we can give you our lives for nothing? ”

Yang Qing then said.

"Zhongyong Hou, you haven't said it before this, we haven't heard it, let's treat this paragraph as if it has never been, let's go back to the original question, first of all, we accept the reform of the cabinet and the health center, and we also accept the new policy, we can guarantee that the local officials and gentry will not make trouble during the implementation of the new policy, and if there is, then it will be ruthlessly suppressed, but the changes in the tax department are too big, since it is a discussion of politics, you have to let us speak.

How about we take a step back?

The Department of Taxation is still in place, but only miscellaneous taxes such as commercial tax, mining tax, and checkpoint tax are collected, and the land tax is still collected by local officials. ”

Gu Xichou said.

"Deal!"

Yang Qing said very simply.

His goal was originally to collect these taxes, and the collection of rural land taxes involved a complex system, and he really wanted to take it down, even if these ministers agreed, those local officials would not do it, and the officials under them also relied on the right to collect taxes. In fact, this is equivalent to the separation of national and local taxes, those officials collect the land and then follow the old system, and their money also comes from here, so as to avoid the chaotic period that will inevitably be brought about by the thorough reform, and the tax bureau takes over the industrial and commercial tax, although these taxes are still in the household department, but the prison state is clear about their quantity, and when necessary, the prison state can directly extract and use them.

This is actually similar to Wei Zhongxian.

His notorious mine supervisors and tax inspectors were the prototype of the tax department.

And those civil officials were also relieved, they finally kept the most important thing for the magistrates.

"And,"

Yang Qing said suddenly.

The civil servants looked at him with pleading eyes.

"Establishment of the Ming Imperial Bank.

Yang Qing said.

"What is a bank?"

Zhang Guowei said suspiciously.

"You can think of the money bank of the Jian Guokai, others can not only deposit money from the bank, but also borrow from the bank, the deposit can get interest, and the loan must also pay interest, but the interest will not be very high, at least much lower than those usury, in addition to the right to mint and issue money, you can mint gold, silver and copper three kinds of money by yourself, and you can also issue paper money, and paper money and gold, silver and copper money can be freely exchanged in the bank at any time.

After that, all the money from the household department was deposited in this bank.

Similarly, the payment of the account is gradually being taken care of by the bank, but it depends on the areas covered by the bank's branches.

For example, if the household department wants to issue a payment to an official in a certain place, it only needs to give him a voucher or a check for him to withdraw at the local bank branch.

Even simply give them banknotes, they go to the bank to exchange, and if they don't want to exchange, they use the banknotes as money, anyway, anyone anywhere can take the banknotes to the nearest bank branch to exchange, and the tax paid to the household can also be exchanged into paper money in the bank, and then the paper money can be directly sent to the household to pay, and the transportation of gold and silver coins is completed by the bank itself. ”

Yang Qing said.

The civil servants smiled wryly.

This in itself is not unusual, the Ming Dynasty was also a treasure banknote at the beginning, the Song Dynasty banknotes were also the copper money standard, and the money and loans were available in the early Ming Dynasty, and the money village was everywhere, but ......

Links!

The two links of handing over and paying are themselves fat differences to make money.

"What if there is corruption within the bank?"

Xu Shiqi said.

"Jinyi Wei is waiting for them, all the assets of the bank belong to the prison country, and if you dare to be greedy for the money of the prison country, you are not looking for death!"

Yang Qing said.

To put it bluntly, one is to let the emperor or the current prison state and the civil and military really decide on national affairs, rather than the past emperor and civil ministers to discuss and decide, the cabinet is evenly matched, and the prison is the final decision, to put it bluntly, it is the set of the Wa state after the Meiji era, to paraphrase the historical term, it can be called military guoism, this system is undoubtedly the most conducive to expansion, the most aggressive.

And Yang Qing's favorite thing is aggressiveness.

As for the tax department and the bank, to put it bluntly, it is a separation of power from the hands of the magistrates.

The local government has the final say.

In ancient times, the chief officials of Fuzhou and counties had the final say, in fact, there were few real officials of the county government, such as the county order and the county Chengdian history chief, the order was a jinshi, and the others were appointed from the famous literati such as the superintendent and the student, but in addition to the county order, the others can often be without, such as the vast majority of counties do not have the county.

As for the rest, all are officials.

But in any case, it is an indisputable fact that the local government and the gentry are in control.

Yang Qing is gradually dividing their power.

The right to tax is part of it.

In the future, a modern judicial system will be established to separate the judicial power from them.

And the militia system is actually Huangzhuang, which is aimed at those local gentry, the militia is the emperor's land, is the emperor's tenants, and there are those officers to manage, which gentry dares to do things, the militia of Huangzhuang can be recruited nearby and cut with a knife. Not only that, but in the future, all the tenants of the official land were changed to the militia, so that basically the imperial power was directly under the county, after all, the active officers of the militia were under the control of the metropolitan governor's office.

They are the army system.

The local officials could not control them, and they could be transferred out of their homes, which also prevented them from complicity with the local gentry.

In this way, the powers of the magistrates were also divided.

Imperial power can go directly down to the localities.

Although only partially.

And if these Huangzhuang militia systems work well in the future, they can continue to erode those gentry, and the maximum 40% land rent is definitely more attractive to tenants, and if crops such as corn and sweet potatoes are widely planted, and a lot of the original wasteland can also be turned into fertile land, then the 40% land rent of Huangzhuang is very attractive. It can even continue to be reduced, for example, the land in the mountains and mountains can be completely rented, or the newly opened Huangzhuang wasteland will not have to pay rent for a few years. You must know that the militia does not pay any taxes, they only bear the rent of the Huangzhuang, then the result is that those tenants who originally planted basically rarely less than 50% of the land rent would rather join the Huangzhuang to open up the land and grow new crops than rent the gentry.

Unless the landlords cut their rents.

They could not let their land sit idle, and even if they did not want to, they would have to reduce their rents under the pressure of the Imperial Estate, and then the profits on the land became lower and lower for them, and eventually they began to invest their money in more lucrative industry and commerce.

But Huangzhuang can also engage in industry and commerce.

In fact, Yang Qing's plan for the future of these imperial villages was a kind of society parallel to the gentry system, which implemented universal reserves, no longer managed by the old civil officials, and carried out industrial and agricultural production according to his plan, even compulsory education, and continued to expand and squeeze the old gentry society. As time passed, the area of the imperial village continued to expand, attracting more and more people to join, and finally completely squeezed the society of the gentry to the margins, to the extent that the latter was completely powerless to resist under the suppression of the former, and then came a radical reform, that is, the nationalization of the land that he had been planning, and kicked the landlords into the garbage heap of history.

Of course, it is not that landlords are not allowed to exist.

They can go to the colony, and the colony does not have a royal house.

Yang Qing's imperial village is only applicable to this basic plate of the Ming Dynasty, outside of this range, he encourages those gentry to exploit and oppress, and he and the hundreds of millions of homesteaders and tens of millions of conscripts in this basic plate will provide a strong backing for them to go out and exploit foreign races. But in this basic plate of the Ming Dynasty, it is not allowed to have any more land annexations caused by the change of dynasties, bloody civil wars again and again, as long as this basic plate is not chaotic, within fifty years, even if the Ming Dynasty only relies on the number of people, it is enough to crush all opponents.

After all, in this era, colonization and plunder are the right way!

The Europeans used all kinds of means to kick the lowest poor people to the colonies.

But Yang Qing wants to do the opposite.

He wants to squeeze out the gentry, who can be said to be extremely proficient in exploitation and oppression, step by step, and force them to go outside to display their talents.

This is what he has been planning for a long time.

But without the special circumstances that forced him, his plan would not have been put into practice.

None of those ministers would compromise with him on these issues, unless the knife had been put on their necks, and now Li Zicheng had helped him put the knife on it.

"Agree, or disagree, you only have two choices, choose the former, you continue your ups and downs, and choose the latter, then I will wash Jiangnan with Li Zicheng."

Yang Qing said. (https:)
