Zhu Youxiao said: "I have also thought about this method, and it is not appropriate, so that no one in the world will open mines, it seems that the imperial court has taken advantage, but in fact, the imperial court has no ability to mine so many minerals, and this method will not work." “

Li Zhizao usually does not speak in the court, but today he came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a way to solve this problem. “

Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed, Li Zhizao was extremely steady, if he hadn't thought about it repeatedly and felt that the method was feasible, he wouldn't have come out to say it, so he said: "Li Qing, come quickly." “

Li Zhizao said: "Your Majesty, first of all, you can order that all minerals in the world are owned by the emperor, which makes it clear that the ownership of minerals is in the imperial court." Then he issued an edict saying that the emperor had mercy on the people of the world and allowed them to open mines in the mountains and rivers, but in order to avoid disputes between them, all those who wanted to open mines needed to register with the tax departments and bureaus of each state and county, and pay different amounts of deed tax according to the size of the registered area and the type of minerals. “

Zhu Youxiao felt strange, what was the difference between this and the previous ones, wasn't it the same? However, he knew Li Zhizao's character and didn't speak.

Li Zhizao stopped as if he was waiting for him to ask, and then saw that the emperor was silent, so he had to continue: "As for the original deed tax, the tax bureau will return it to him and pay it again, because this deed tax is different from the original, so there is a problem, just like how many people in a place want to come to open a mine, they are willing to pay the deed tax, so how to choose?" The minister thinks that there is a way, and the name is more than one can be obtained, that is, several people want to open the mine, then add money to the fixed number of deed tax, and whoever adds more will be able to obtain the right to open the mine. Then it is noted on the deed tax that if the court needs it on a certain day, the deed tax and its input can be repaid, and about 20% of the compensation will be given. In this way, the court can take back the mine at any time when it needs it, and the miners have not suffered losses and still made profits, and both sides are beneficial. “

Zhu Youxiao thought, it turned out to be an auction, people in this era are really smart. As for the deed tax, it is indeed a good way to solve the problem like Chen Xiu encountered last time. So he said: "Li Qing's law is very good, and it does not disturb the people, and it can recover the mining rights when the imperial court urgently needs it, Bi Qing, you can discuss it yourself, how to determine the number of deed taxes according to the area and the type of minerals, how to ensure that the mine owners will not exceed the proposed area, and which minerals must be in the hands of the imperial court. In addition, the mining tax was originally set at half percent, and I don't think it's good, so I have to re-set the tax according to the type. “

Bi Ziyan naturally agreed in a hurry. Then came the second question, Zhu Youxiao said: "There is already a provision in the "Da Ming Law" that officials above the fourth grade are not allowed to do business, and the ministers are indeed not doing business, but their own family members may have someone to do business. Of course, your own family can't manage the "Da Ming Law" in business, but whether your family borrowed the power in your hands when they did business, I think everyone knows in their hearts. I have no intention of turning over old accounts, but from now on, if there is any collusion between officials and businessmen, or if there is any case of business under the pretext of officials, then it will be treated as corruption. “

The "Da Ming Law" stipulates that 60 taels of embezzlement and peeling of the skin and grass, of course, the punishment of peeling the skin and grass is now less, but beheading is still inevitable. Most of the officials in the DPRK and China have relatives who are in business, and Zhu Youxiao also knew that everyone would wake up to his next holy decree, this possibility does not exist, and it is impossible to ban all of this matter now, so he just proposed that officials and businessmen should not collude and borrow officials to do business, and take their time in the future.

"From now on, any official's car or vessel must be inspected when it passes through the customs, and if there is any carrying goods without filing a tax return, he will be removed from his post and his house will be raided. The same is true of the princely and aristocratic houses, and tomorrow I will invent them in the newspaper and the weekly newspaper. “

Lu Qin and the others were coming back, and in order to welcome the southwestern troops of the Guards Army back to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao organized a grand welcome ceremony. The Guards marched into the city with two large flags, one of which read "Pacify the Southwest" and the other side read "Yang My Hanwei". The guards passed through the north gate in bright armor and spirits, and on the way to Gongji City, all the shops were closed, and pedestrians focused on both sides of the street, watching the majestic posture of my Han family. From time to time, he handed the fruit in his hand, the hard-boiled egg or something, to the Guards soldiers. The soldiers didn't dare to stop, and pushed off as they walked, and the pedestrians had to be stopped, so they had to say loudly: "I, a soldier of the Han family, don't move the people to a single grass and tree, and don't take a stitch from the people." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers were actually similar to bandits, and the people were generally able to hide, but now the guards are shouting such a slogan, which makes the people surprised and inexplicable, and they can't help but look at them differently. Although many people were called to welcome by the head of the fang, at this time they had some new understanding of the guards, this is my Han family's soldiers, it is my Han'er, and it is a rebellion, which is different from the previous soldiers.

The hearts of the people were touched, and at this time, naturally some people began to take the lead in shouting slogans: "The Guards are good!" "Long live the Guard!" When the people saw that someone was shouting long live, the brocade guard next to them did not stop it, so naturally they began to shout, but more and more people shouted, the voice became louder and louder, and the slogan kept changing, and when they arrived near the imperial city, it had become "Emperor Shengming, long live the emperor!" "That's it.

Gongji City University Field, where the Emperor personally greeted them. Lu Qin was so excited that he burst into tears, and subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but Zhou Yuji pulled him before he reacted.

He straightened his waist, took two steps forward, walked ten steps in front of the emperor, saluted a military salute, and shouted loudly: "Shengshang, the deputy general Lu Qin reports to our emperor that the southwest troops of the Guards have returned victoriously, and the ministers congratulate the saint and the Daming." ”

Zhu Youxiao returned a military salute, then raised his right hand to heaven and said: "Everything is for Huaxia, everything is for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lu Qin replied loudly: "All for Huaxia, all for the Ming Dynasty, all for the Holy Lord." ”

The original slogan was all for the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youxiao felt that what he wanted to build was a modern national army, so he changed the slogan.

All the soldiers shouted together: "All for Huaxia, all for the Ming Dynasty, all for the saint." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The barbarians dare to resist the heavenly soldiers, I have the most heroic soldiers in China, and I will annihilate them." Chen Tang's words, today we must keep in mind that those who offend my big man will be punished even if they are far away! Now there are a handful of barbarians, occupying my Liaodong and killing my people, which is unbearable or unbearable. I ordered, my heroic guards, live in Liaodong, rescue the children of China, and punish the shameless slaves! ”

All the soldiers shouted together: "Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories!" ”

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support! The internal affairs are almost over, and they begin to turn to the war against Jiannu.
