Liu Nuomin, the old governor, was right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you must know that since the founding of the country by Emperor Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the national policy of the gentry not paying taxes and not paying grain. Of course, the word "gentry" in the national policy does not mean that if you have money in your family, you are "gentry" and "gentry". Only by achieving fame and fame in the imperial examination can you get the privilege!

The national policy set by Emperor Hongwu is tantamount to improving the social status of scholars.

What is the reason for the ten years of reading in the Ming Dynasty? Isn't it just to be able to be Tian Shelang, to ascend to Tianzi Hall at dusk, and to have a status beyond the ordinary people?

Chen Di now wants to let the gentry with meritorious fame pay taxes and grain like the common people, which is tantamount to being the enemy of the world's scholars!

Not to mention the royal relatives! The ancestors have laid a foundation for them, and they think that it is natural to enjoy the national policy of not paying taxes and not paying food!

Chen Di asked Liu Nuomin rhetorically: "If the gentry and imperial relatives of the entire Shanxi pay taxes and pay grain like ordinary people, how much can Shanxi's treasury silver increase?" ”

Liu Nuomin pondered for a moment and replied: "It can increase by more than 150,000 taels per year!" ”

Chen Di nodded and said: "Your Shanxi province alone can increase the income of one or two million taels, if the two capitals and thirteen provinces all implement this new policy, the annual increase in the revenue of the treasury will not exceed ten million taels?" The treasury has long been eating grain! If you don't open up your financial resources and run out of grain, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not be far from the country! ”

Liu Nuomin had to admire the courage of Chen Di, a young man!

Yes, Governor Chen is not an ordinary person. At the age of sixteen, he controlled the military power of the world, and even dared to imprison the current saint! He led the Flying Tiger Army to the southeast to resist the Japanese, and the northern expedition to Tatar, so that the Ming Dynasty was no longer threatened by foreign enemies! What kind of deed is this, what kind of person is this? It's not uncommon for such people to have such courage!

Although Liu Nuomin is a strict party, he sometimes accepts the benefits of the people below. But this is the general environment. Everyone is greedy, everyone is dependent on Yan Song, if you are not greedy, if you don't depend on Yan Song, you won't be able to mix in the officialdom! It is not that there are no capable cadres in the Yan Party! Liu Nuomin is one of them!

Liu Nuomin asked Chen Di: "Does the metropolitan governor really want to implement the integration of the gentry and the imperial family in Shanxi?" ”

Chen Di nodded: "That's right!" The old governor should know in his heart that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! ”

Liu Nuomin asked: "What if the gentry of the entire Shanxi Province oppose it with the King of Jin and the King of Dai?" “

Chen Di said coldly: "Kill!" Kill until they don't object! ”

Liu Nuomin was stunned! This Governor Chen not only has extraordinary courage, but also has an iron heart!

Liu Nuomin pondered for a while, almost gritted his teeth and said: "If the Metropolitan Governor makes up his mind, I am willing to be the Metropolitan Governor's pawn!" “

Chen Di said with satisfaction: "I am the backstage of the old governor, and the old governor can rest assured and bold!" The new national policy I formulated is the new national policy formulated by the imperial court! If someone dares to openly oppose the imperial court, it doesn't matter, the Flying Tiger Army has fire guns and furlong cannons! ”

Liu Nuomin said: "Governor, I plan it this way, everything is difficult first and then easy. Most of the gentry in Shanxi live in Taiyuan Province, and I plan to implement the new policy in Taiyuan Province first, and then other prefectures and counties will follow suit! ”

Chen Di said: "This method is very good! ”

The official of the governor's yamen went to Liu Nuomin's study and brought his letter to the king of Jin.

Chen Di took the fold and looked at it carefully, and said, "Put it here for me first." The old governor, you are responsible for implementing the new policy, and I am responsible for rectifying the king of Jin! ”

Liu Nuomin said to Chen Di: "Governor, the people of Qingxu Mansion sued the King of Jin, and I have a whole stack of papers!" “

Chen Di said: "The old governor sent me all the papers!" Alright, you go about getting down to business! ”

The next day, a notice was posted outside the yamen of the Shanxi governor and the yamen of Taiyuan Prefecture to implement the integration of the gentry and the imperial family to pay grain and taxes.

The entire Taiyuan Mansion immediately exploded!

Upstairs in Taiyuan Mansion, the largest gentry of Taiyuan Mansion are gathering.

The gentry of Taiyuan Mansion were headed by Gao An, the former right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Gao An was a talent at the age of 20, a person at the age of 24, and a protégé of the Son of Heaven at the age of 32. It can be said that he got his current status step by step by reading books!

Gao An is over 70 years old, and his voice is like a bell. Because among the former officials of Taiyuan Mansion Zhishi, he used to have the highest rank. Naturally, he became the leader of the gentry!

Gao An said loudly: "The notice of the Shanxi Governor's Yamen, I believe everyone has seen it!" What do you think? “

Hu Muen, the current patriarch of the Hu family in the south of Taiyuan City, replied: "This notice is simply to make our scholars sweep the floor!" Let's just say that our Hu family, three generations of people have produced two jinshi, four lifters, and sixteen talents! What do we scholars do for ten years? Is it to pay taxes to the court like those mud legs who farm and pick up dung? In the future, the famous scholars will be the same as those mud legs, where is the face of the readers? I admire the way of Confucius and Mencius. Confucius and Mencius advocated benevolent government. But the so-called new policy of the Shanxi governor Yamen is a real harsh policy! “

Zhao Nengbin, the patriarch of the Zhao family in Yangqu County, under the rule of Taiyuan Mansion, said loudly: "What Master Hu said is right! Shanxi Governor Yamen, this is a harsh government! We can disobey! Not only do we not comply, but we also have to go to the governor's yamen to find the theory of the governor Liu Nuomin! He Liu Nuomin has only been in Shanxi for a few days? Just want to turn over the sky in Shanxi? I don't know how many relatives and friends here are current officials! I propose, in addition to finding Liu Nuomin's theory, we can write letters to our relatives and friends who are current officials! Let them play to the court, and participate in Liu Nuomin's harsh government and harm the people! ”

Gao An, the old fox, did not show his attitude. He knew that although Liu Nuomin was the governor of Shanxi, he did not have the courage to be enemies with the scholars of Tongtong Province in Shanxi and all the current officials of Shanxi origin in the imperial court. He dared to do this, I am afraid that he has the support of Metropolitan Governor Chen Di!

Although Gao An has been a master for many years, there are still many protégés in Beijing who have been eyes and ears. He knows that the current government is controlled by Yan Song and Chen Di. Chen Di holds the power of the army, and Yan Song is under Chen Di again! To put it bluntly, Chen Di is now the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty!

If the implementation of the new policy is Chen Di's intention, if he takes the lead in making trouble, then his situation is very bad. Gao An, who has been an official for many years, is an old fox, so he will not stupidly follow a group of Taiyuan gentry to provoke Chen Di, the living king of Hades!

In the afternoon of the same day, two or three hundred gentry with meritorious names in Taiyuan Mansion gathered in front of the Shanxi governor's yamen under the leadership of Hu Muen and Zhao Nengbin!

The 100 gatekeepers of the Shanxi Governor's Yamen said loudly: "Shanxi Futai Yamen is a major place, how can you allow Er and others to mess around?" Disperse quickly, and don't delay the official business of the yamen! ”

Hu Muen shouted: "You are a little seven-grade general, and you dare to intimidate us with evil words?" This old man is a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and he has been a county commander for one term, and he is the same governor for one term! When it comes to official office, you should bow to me! ”

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was to use literature to control the military, and to emphasize literature and light on martial arts. Bai Zongsui is a seventh-grade military attaché, and he is still a head short in front of a person like Hu Muen.

The hundred always arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." “

Hu Muen said: "You go to the government office and let the governor Liu Nuomin come out to see us!" “
