After receiving Zhu Youxiao's secret decree, the cabinet is now also discussing Zhu Youxiao's secret decree.

"The root cause of all the measures in His Majesty's secret decree is ultimately to increase the revenue of the State Treasury, which will reach 100 million taels a year within five years, and it seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to complete the tax reform within five years." Han Yi said.

"When Your Majesty proposed a new deal for tax reform, you should have expected such a day." Sun Chengzong said.

"Elder Sun Ge, Your Majesty's tax increase in the new policy is too great, directly from thirty taxes to fifteen taxes, which can be doubled, and the people will definitely complain at that time, Your Majesty and the people compete for profits, is it really not advisable? Since the implementation of the apportionment of the imperial court, the treasury revenue has been increasing every year, and I believe that in time, the annual income of the empire will definitely exceed 100 million taels. His Majesty was in a bit of a hurry. Lai Zongdao said.

"Which of these merchants in the empire is not a brocade cloth and jade food, silk and satin? I thought His Majesty was right to raise the commercial tax. Xue Sanxing said.

"Your Majesty will increase the commercial tax, and after the merchants are taxed, they will definitely pass on the losses to the people, and in the end they will only suffer ordinary people." Han Yi said.

"Your Majesty clearly stipulates in the new policy that the food and clothing of ordinary people are not within the scope of the tax increase, how can ordinary people suffer? Of course, if you want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, if you want to wear silk and satin, that's another matter. Sun Chengzong retorted.

……

This controversy is destined to be indistinguishable from the winner, there is a reason for taxation, there is a reason for opposing taxation, and there is a reason for opposing taxation, and whoever cannot convince anyone can only wait for Zhu Youxiao to make the final decision.

At this time, Zhu Youjiao was ready to leave the palace in a micro-suit. This time, Zhu Youxiao only brought two guards with him, and then Yang Ai. Xiaoxiao was busy checking Nanjing Fengqiuhuang's accounts and rectifying Nanjing Fengqiuhuang at the moment, and she didn't have time to accompany Zhu Youxiao at all. As for Fan Xiaoshuang, Fan Huifei let her drive with her only purpose, that is, to let Zhu Youxiao succeed.

"Master, where are we going?" Yang Ai asked happily. Yang Ai is only sixteen years old now, and after being adopted by Zhu Youxiao, he avoided premature contact with the dark side of this society, making him much simpler than Liu Ru in history.

"Go to the song." Zhu Youxiao said.

"In the song?" Yang Ai asked suspiciously.

"Quzhong is the place where the Goolan Courtyard gathers, and it is also the most prosperous place in Nanjing." Zhu Youxiao explained.

"Ye is going to the Qinglou." Yang Ai said with a smile.

"I am indeed going to go to the Qinglou to see, there are many respectable people among the Qinglou women by the Qinhuai River, some can even be called strange women in the world, in terms of talent, integrity, and ethics compared to some so-called talents, they are even more than others, especially in terms of integrity, they can even crush those talents." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Lord's evaluation is really high!" Yang Ai said with a smile.

"I once had a dream, in the dream, my Ming Dynasty died, the entire empire fell into the hands of the Houjin people, many literati turned to surrender to the Houjin, but on the side of the Qinhuai River, there are many stories to sing and cry, and the integrity they show is admirable." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

"Hearing what my master said, I can't help but want to go and see it." Yang Ai could see that Zhu Youxiao was telling the truth.

……

Zhu Youxiao felt that if he didn't go to the Qinhuai River at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he would have returned to the Ming Dynasty in vain. Some say that this industry is the oldest industry in human history. In the history of China, there is a clear record of the Hongya prostitutes in the era of the Three Emperors. In the Spring and Autumn Period, starting from Guan Zhong, the state-run Goolan Washe appeared, and during the same period, there were also nationalized fields in Europe.

After thousands of years of development, it has reached a peak in the Ming Dynasty, which may be related to the characteristics of this era, especially at the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, a group of Qinglou strange women represented by Qin Huai Bayan emerged, they are not only talented and beautiful, but also their integrity and ethics are also worthy of respect.

The front door of the song is facing the Wuding Bridge, and the back door is on the banknote street, facing the Gongyuan across the river. After Zhu Youxiao abolished the Teaching Workshop Division and handed over the affairs of Goolan Tile to Jinyiwei for management, it seemed that there was no impact on Goolan Washer in the song. When Zhu Youxiao and Xiaoxiao arrived in the middle of the song, it was noon.

"Master, I'm tired, let's rest for a while and eat something." Yang Ai said softly.

"Don't you like Nanqu? I'll take you to meet one of you here, and stop by for dinner. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Qihai, go and inquire, which one is Yin Zichun?" Zhu Youxiao said to the guards beside him again.

"No."

Qihai quickly ran back with a red face, "Master, Yin Zichun's yard is at the end of the street." ”

"Qihai, why are you so red?" Yang Ai asked curiously.

"This ......" Qihai only felt ashamed and didn't know how to answer.

"Was it molested by a woman?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"Master ......" Qihai was speechless.

"Master, are all the women here so bold?" Yang Ai asked.

"See the boy selling flowers in front of you?" Zhu Youxiao pointed to a young man in front of him wearing skirt clogs and carrying a flower basket.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ai asked curiously.

"If you look closely, you'll know if I'm right or wrong?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Yang Ai stared carefully and saw that sure enough, those women who bought flowers, when they bought flowers, would take a break from the young man, and some would even take the opportunity to rub oil. Yang Ai was also speechless, she turned her head and glanced at Qihai with pity, she felt that Qihai had suffered a loss.

"Miss, I don't, I really don't, and a dozen people like them can't get close to me...... Qihai hurriedly explained.

"Qihai, how old are you this year?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"I'm twenty years old." Qihai said.

"You are all from the Guards, and your grades are not young, and when you are twenty years old, you should get married, if you like it, and you are happy with each other, I will make your decision, if not, I can arrange for you to go on a blind date with the Praetorian Guard or the palace maid." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Master, this ......" Qihai didn't know whether to refuse or thank him for a while.

Looking at Qihai's expression of wanting to refuse and welcome, Yang Ai said with disdain: "You look really unbearable!" ”

"Let's go." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Yin Chun, the word Zichun, is average-looking, specializing in Nanqu performances, she has been performing Nanqu by the Qinhuai River for decades, and is good at life and Dan, especially her "The Story of Jing Hai", playing Wang Shipeng, which is a must, and her fame shocked the entire Jiangnan.
