Chapter 276: Discussing Taiwan

"Your Majesty! The ministers thought that there was no need to discuss the policy of competing with the people for profit and harming the people, and the starting point of this policy was wrong, even if the ministers discussed it again, there was no doubt about it! Immediately, a minister stood up against it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Weichen seconded!" Immediately, some ministers expressed their support, and then one after another, ministers expressed their support, and there was no room for negotiation at all in this posture.

"Your Majesty! For the great cause of the Ming Dynasty! This strategy must not be opened, Your Majesty! Some of the old ministers cried, as if as long as the emperor insisted on changing it, he would immediately turn to the pillars in the hall.

Chongzhen saw that this week Yanru came out to make trouble again, and there were really a lot of people who supported him, and most of the ministers who were standing were down, except for a few Shangshu and a few people in the cabinet and Lu Xiangsheng who Chongzhen knew, Wen Tiren and others and some ministers that Chongzhen was not very familiar with, basically all stood on the opposite side, looking at this scene, Sun Chengzong coughed, and then came out and said: "Your Majesty!" The revision of commercial tax is a national plan, and Weichen thinks that this matter needs to be discussed after careful consideration! ”

Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong, thought about it, nodded and said: "What the teacher said is that at this time, many Aiqing have not thought about it, and they don't understand some of the truths, so let's discuss it later!" Retreat! With that, he got up and left.

"Retreat!" Cao Huachun shouted, and then left with Chongzhen.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" All the courtiers saluted at the same time.

After staying away from those ministers, Chongzhen turned his head to Cao Huachun and said, "Who was that Li Aiqing just now?" ”

Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Your Majesty! He is Li Banghua, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. ”

"Oh!? It turned out to be him! Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's it!" In a moment, you will go and tell him in person, and ask him to list his ideas and submit them, and then ask a few of the cabinet secretaries to write their suggestions, and then I will personally review them! ”

Cao Huachun looked at Emperor Chongzhen, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was really going to move this business tax, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried, Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun, who was a little stunned, and said, "Did you hear that?!" ”

"Ahh The old slave obeys! Cao Huachun hurriedly said.

"That's right! Say hello to the prince and send two Zhongxingwei people to secretly protect Lord Li! Chongzhen commanded.

"Your Majesty! This...... Cao Huachun was stunned.

"If you want to go, you will go!" Chongzhen said solemnly.

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun hurriedly said.

"Okay! So be it! Chongzhen waved his hand and went to the Qianqing Palace, but not long after he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Sun Chengzong arrived at the Qianqing Palace, which made Chongzhen stunned, why does the teacher want to talk to me about this business tax now?

"Wechen see Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! Sun Chengzong saluted.

"Teacher, let's get flat! Sit! Chongzhen smiled and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong got up, and then sat down in his place.

"Is the teacher here for the sake of business taxes?" Chongzhen wondered.

Sun Chengzong stared at Chongzhen for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty! The commercial tax can also be said to be related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and it cannot be easily moved, at least not for now! Now it is the best policy for the imperial court to implement all the existing policies first! ”

Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "I understand! Now I just let them have a bottom in their hearts, teacher, you see, now my business in the Ming Dynasty is more prosperous than the Great Song Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and the tax revenue collected by the Great Song Dynasty in a year is more than 100 million taels! One hundred million taels! Teacher, let's see how much my tax in Daming is a year, more than four million taels! More than four million taels! Could it be that my Da Ming is not as good as Da Song? Chongzhen smiled helplessly, and then said bitterly: "If my Ming treasury also has more than 100 million taels of income a year, why is the imperial court now controlled by silver everywhere?" ”

Sun Chengzong looked at Chongzhen and said with a smile: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but this matter still needs to be discussed, Your Majesty doesn't need to be in such a hurry!" ”

"I understand! Never mind! What is the reason why the teacher is here today? Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, just look at this recital!" As he spoke, Sun Chengzong took out a piece of music from his arms and presented it to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it and took it, opened it and glanced at it, "Governor Wang's!" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! It seems that this south side is not very peaceful! This red-haired fan has been taught twice by my Daming, and it seems that it still doesn't hurt them! ”

"According to what Governor Wang said, now this Hongmao Fan base is in Taiwan? And with the help of this Taiwan peeking at my Daming, this is a hidden danger after all! Chongzhen frowned, then thought about it and said: "This southeast coastal defense is now in charge of Zheng Dudu, I am not mistaken?" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded embarrassedly, this is also a helpless move, Chongzhen saw Sun Chengzong nodded, Chongzhen thought for a while and continued: "Now that this Denglai fleet has gradually formed a combat effectiveness, transfer Governor Wang from Governor Zhengdu's side, let Governor Wang familiarize himself with my new fleet as soon as possible, in case there is a situation other than what he said one day, then it will not be too flustered, and it is good to have a response, after all, this army is not in the hands of the imperial court, I am always not at ease!" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Teacher! How do you say my new warship compares to Zheng Dudu's warship? Chongzhen said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong smiled, and then said: "Your Majesty is embarrassed by the old minister, the minister has never seen two kinds of warships, how can this be judged?" However, according to Lord Xu's words, now my Daming's new warship is the strongest warship in all aspects, and the generals who participated on the Phi Island side also said so, as for Zheng Dudu's warship, the old minister thought that since he could defeat the warship of Hongmaofan, the combat power of the warship should not be underestimated, of course, this is also related to Zheng Dudu's rich experience in naval warfare and the ability of the soldiers! ”

"That's what the teacher said!" Chongzhen nodded, then took out the map and said seriously to Sun Chengzong: "After Governor Wang is familiar with the fleet, I am ready to let him expel the Hongmao Fan on Taiwan, and this Taiwan will be officially included in the management of the imperial court, and I am also ready to set up Taiwan as Taiwan Province alone, and the current Penghu will be under the jurisdiction of Taiwan at that time, and it will be separated from the current Fujian!" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded, and then said: "According to this map and Governor Wang's note, this Taiwan is located in the special geographical location between our Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Kingdom and Western countries, which can become a good business point!" ”

Chongzhen said with a smile: "Control Taiwan, and with a strong fleet, you can control this piece of commerce, and at that time, you can add a lot of silver to my Ming Dynasty!" That would save me a lot of trouble! ”
