Chapter 106: The Truth Behind the Opposition

It's amazing!

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, he finally knew how terrible non-violent non-cooperation was. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Cold violence can be regarded as real violence!

Raising the commercial tax tariff is a more important move than changing the agricultural tax to silver, and if this move cannot be taken, there will be no benefit in the next few steps, unless Zhu Houzhao intends to engage in monopoly.

But he knows how vast the overseas market is, and the Ming court is a river, but if you want to converge into rivers and seas, you must not give up those trickles.

At that time, Zheng He's fleet to the West was huge, but it still only went as far as the Cape of Good Hope in Africa. Exploring the world is something that cannot be done by a single family.

"Liu Qing, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, what is wrong with what I said?" Zhu Houzhao directly named him.

He looked at Liu Jian with deep meaning, this old man had just been pulled up from the pit by Zhu Houzhao, and he would probably not be willing to jump again. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao didn't care that he would once again adopt the cabinet's plan to reduce expenditure.

However, Liu Jian didn't seem to see the threat in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and hung his head and didn't speak.

Zhu Houzhao coughed fiercely and said, "What, doesn't Liu Ge have anything to say?" Or do you think it's better to throttle money in the cabinet? ”

The threat in his tone was very deep.

Liu Jian couldn't bear it under Zhu Houzhao's forced gaze, and slowly opened his mouth: "The old minister thinks that it is more appropriate to throttle!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao was stunned.

What's the situation, just pulled your old man out of the pit, and jumped down again before he could catch his breath, are you really not afraid of death?

After Liu Jian said this, his whole body trembled, and he took out a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and dared to look directly at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was a little confused about Liu Jian's thoughts, and he didn't know why Liu Jian suddenly became so brave and fearless.

In fact, the reason for all this is that Liu Jian is not stupid.

The throttling plan has offended people to the point that they want to be eaten by people, and if they agree with the emperor's source plan, his old man will be completely dead.

It's possible to be crushed and scattered.

In fact, the reason for this is easy to understand. It is true that there are many people who have been guilty of the throttling plan discussed by the cabinet before, but it is the clear stream who has no power and no power to eat on their deaths.

Anyway, they are already their subordinates, and if they offend them, they will be scolded at most during the New Year's holidays, but a few of the officials have not been scolded, and they will not lose a piece of meat.

But the emperor's source plan, he, Liu Jian, really didn't dare to nod.

The reason for the bottom of the Ming Dynasty's commercial tariff was not to protect commercial development, nor to look down on merchants, nor to maintain the decree of Ming Taizu.

The real reason is that since the Ming Taizu set the commercial tax, the commerce of the Ming Dynasty has made great progress, and it can even be said that the development of its commerce is unprecedented.

However, the benefits brought by commercial development were not shared by the old Zhu family, and the common people couldn't even jump up, and most of them were embezzled by the rich and powerful people in the middle.

Officials colluded with giant businessmen by virtue of the benefits brought by their official status and the power in their hands, and even later, many shops were opened by the officials themselves. A businessman is an official, an official is a businessman, and he doesn't have to pay taxes, let alone rely on a little money to support his family.

Liu Jian will not take one or two such people in his eyes, but once there are thousands of people, cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, and even the first assistant has to weigh it.

In general, the throttling plan bullies the redundant officials who have no money and power, and the source plan bullies the rich and powerful high-ranking officials and gentry, which is the soft persimmon at a glance.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know the relationship, he could understand the inevitability of all the officials being excited after the salary reduction, but he couldn't understand the collusion between officials and businessmen.

This is the result of the unique policy of the Ming Dynasty, and it is really not an ancient policy that he can understand as a half-way emperor.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jian with blazing eyes, and then looked around at the hundred officials in the hall. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" ”

At this point, Zhu Houzhao regretted it a little, and he could already guess the ending without opening his mouth.

Sure enough, the main hall of the upper dynasty became a vegetable market again, and there were people arguing from under the dragon chair to a hundred steps outside the hall.

The board was fluttering, the spit was flying, and some people even started to drag their shoes and prepare to smash people.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is so profligate, and if you don't agree with each other, it will be a flurry of Wang Bafist.

However, Zhu Houzhao keenly found that although the scene was chaotic, there seemed to be traces to be explored.

For example, Zhu Houzhao saw that the people from the two departments of Guozijian and Qintianjian would not quarrel, but they would quarrel with the people from the Yamen of the Arsenal Division, and there would be no quarrel between the Ministry of Industry and the Criminal Department, but the people from the Ministry of Rites would quarrel with them.

All in all, the Qingshui Yamen will quarrel with the people of the important yamen, and the officials with small power will quarrel with the people with small and powerful officials.

Seeing the headache that Zhu Hou took care of later, the sound of hundreds of people arguing was enough to kill the surrounding spectators. So please don't watch, there is no harm without onlookers.

"Shut up!" Zhu Houzhao, whose brain was swollen, broke off. However, it has no effect, and the power of one person is small in front of a hundred, unless he is the Hulk.

Bang!

Zhu Houzhao directly let go of the gun, since he went to the battlefield, he has not left the gun, it has been useless for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be on the market today.

There has never been a gun on the Jinluan Palace for hundreds of years, and Zhu Houzhao's face today is a big loss.

After everyone quieted down, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth with a dark face.

"The treasury is running out and I can't make ends meet every year, and I've decided to change that!" Zhu Houzhao raised the flintlock firearm in his hand and pointed at the hundred officials: "You must come up with a plan for me today, the source is still throttling, you can choose!" ”

Although Zhu Houzhao was fierce, he obviously had no deterrence against his subordinates. The courtiers who had experienced the Hongzhi Dynasty had long been accustomed to the good temper of the Hongzhi Emperor, and Zhu Houzhao's sudden release of the gun only made them stop the quarrel, and there was no deeper deterrence.

Even after Zhu Houzhao fired the firearm, it seemed that he gave Liu Jian and other courtiers who were difficult to ride tigers a breakthrough, giving them the opportunity to wield shovels and mud.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Liu Jian said.

"Something to say!" Zhu Houzhao said coldly, and almost blurted out the second half of the sentence.

"Your Majesty, since it is definitely not possible to throttle, and His Majesty's open source plan is difficult to implement, the minister thinks that he can find another way." Liu Jian said: "There is not only one way to come from, the so-called where there is water, wells can be opened everywhere, and it is difficult to raise commercial taxes, so opening up the sea ban and allowing small overseas countries to come and go for trade may not be a shortcut to fill the shortfall." ”

Fart! Zhu Houzhao almost didn't come up in one breath: "Didn't you oppose the opening of the sea ban before?" ”

"At this time and then, it was because there were Tatars in the north who were eyeing each other, but now that Tatars are no longer in the climate, it is feasible to open the sea ban." Liu Jian said with a smile: "Hasn't the emperor always had plans to open the sea ban?" ”

Zhu Hou looked at the smiling face, and wanted to hit it, without raising the tariff and commercial tax, and opening the sea ban with a hammer, and the big head might not be swallowed by a group of kings and eight calves!

After all, the taxes of maritime trade are a lot of money!

"Liu Jin, go and set up a thunderbolt for me here!" Zhu Houzhao said viciously: "I just want to hear one result!" ”

After a pun, Zhu Houzhao sat on the steps. At this point, you still have to have a fart face. (To be continued.) )
