In fact, this is one of the best traits of the Chinese people, easy to deceive!

As long as the ruler shouts the slogan, the common people will believe that the lie that the Tartars will never be endowed just now not only fooled the entire court, but also reduced the people's rebellion against the rule of the Tartars. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Now Zhu Changluo just said an intention, which made Yang Lian so excited......

You must know that there are loopholes hidden in his policy, not levying land taxes does not mean that land taxes are not levied, even if the current amount of land taxes is calculated, it is enough for Zhu Changluo to collect a lot of money, why bother levying it on this basis?

Besides, he will return to the capital one day, whether he becomes the prince or is deposed as a prince, it is impossible to continue to stay in Ping'an Mansion, the so-called people go to politics, he can only stay here for a few years at most, and when he leaves, I don't know what the situation is.

Moreover, Zhu Changluo knows even more that the reason why there is a terrifying tax rate of two taxes and one or even five taxes and three in Tianfu is because there are countless gentry and wealthy businessmen who wantonly annex and conceal the amount of land, and transfer all the taxes they should have paid to the peasants at the bottom, which will lead to an extremely heavy burden on these poor people.

But today's situation is different, as a person from later generations, Zhu Changluo naturally knows that the biggest achievement of Zhang Juzheng's reform is not in other things, but in the fact that he used high-pressure means to re-clear the land of the whole country, so that countless gentry who concealed their fields had nowhere to hide, and could only obediently pay taxes to the state.

And although most of Zhang Juzheng's reforms died with his death, the impact of Qingzhang's land was real, at least to the greatest extent to reduce the burden on the peasants, and now Zhu Changluo's slogan, even if it is thoroughly implemented, is also stained with the light of Zhang Juzheng's Qingzhang land.

If you push forward a few decades, when the country has hundreds of millions of acres of land that has been concealed, no matter how much courage you give him, he will not give this order, after all, the operation of the imperial court requires money, and there is a necessary bottom line.

So to a certain extent, even if there are such and such problems, Zhang Juzheng's reform did play an immeasurable role in the Ming Empire......

However, Zhu Changluo naturally will not say these to others, Zhang Juzheng is still a taboo term in the government and the opposition, and as for the reform that has touched the interests of the bureaucracy, he can't even mention it.

"Yang Lian, you have a sincere heart, this king shouldn't blame you, but you didn't understand the situation and rashly spoke, don't you know that it is so easy to make a good man unbearable in his life, and retreat! Fines for half a month, not as an example! ”

Although Zhu Changluo admires Yang Lian very much, he still has to be punished, otherwise everyone will jump out and question his decision in the future, so what?

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, now he is completely at the heart of the person in front of him, after all, for a scholar, it is not easy to meet the master.

The reason why he was so excited just now was because he was really motivated by Zhu Changluo's policy, and partly because he was worried about whether Zhu Changluo would blame him for this, but fortunately not.

Although he was punished, it means that His Highness did not take it to heart, and if he refused to even punish him, it could only mean that His Highness had given up on him......

Bowing respectfully, Yang Lian withdrew from the main hall.

But the discussion did not stop because of this, after a pause, Zhu Changluo turned to Zhao Shizhen on the side and spoke again.

"What do you think of Zhao Changshi's three conditions for this king?"

Yang Lian, as a reserve savings cadre, has a low rank, and it is normal for him to not look at the long-term when he first enters the officialdom, so Zhu Changluo doesn't think there is anything wrong with his reaction, but the two people in front of him are different, Zhao Shizhen and Luo Yangxing are the people he can do the best at the moment, if even they can't understand what Zhu Changluo means, then Zhu Changluo should consider whether he should change someone else to be in charge of the palace.

The scene was silent for a moment, obviously Zhao Shizhen and Luo Yangxing were a little caught off guard, but just when Zhu Changluo was disappointed, the two glanced at each other and said two words in unison.

"Business tax!"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction, he really didn't use the wrong person.

That's right, although he has now temporarily agreed to Liu Shouyou's proposal, his ultimate goal is commercial tax!

"How did you two guess?"

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Zhu Changluo asked.

After getting this definite answer, Zhao Shizhen and Luo Yangxing were relieved, but they couldn't help but feel a little amazed by the whimsical thinking in front of them.

"The minister is ashamed, I can only get some glimpse of His Highness's mind from the clues!"

Zhao Shizhen also sighed, if it weren't for Zhu Changluo's constant reminder, I'm afraid he wouldn't have guessed that His Royal Highness's move to make profits now turned out to be to increase business taxes in the end.

"Taxation is a fundamental matter of a government, the salt tax is controlled by the imperial court's salt patrol imperial history, we can't interfere, so only the field tax, commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes can be affected, since His Royal Highness has planned to never increase the field tax, then it must be the commercial tax!"

This is normal, Zhu Changluo's huge palace has to be spended, what should I do if I don't have money?

You must know that whether it is a field tax or a commercial tax, in the end, seventy percent will fall into Zhu Changluo's pocket, even if it can be concealed from the imperial court, but how can it be compared to collecting some more taxes?

Obviously, Zhu Changluo didn't intend to make a bad idea about Tian Fu, so if he wanted money, he could only start with commercial taxes.

"Yes, what about Commander Luo?"

Zhu Changluo nodded, Zhao Shizhen This is a simple theory of cause and effect, putting aside all the processes in the middle, and the conclusion drawn from the analysis of the needs of the Shouwang Mansion is simple and crude but effective, in fact, among the conditions he proposed, the first one is to use it as a smoke bomb, in order to cover up his true purpose, so that everyone thinks that he will be thinking crookedly about the taxes to the imperial court.

However, Zhao Shizhen came to the conclusion that he was clear about his overall plan, and he believed that with Liu Shouyou's wine bag and rice bag, he would definitely not be able to see his intentions.

"The minister thinks that since His Royal Highness has set up the tax department in the palace, although he uses the people of Governor Liu's mansion, he will never be useless, and after careful consideration, he boldly guessed that His Royal Highness wants to use this way to grasp the management of taxes in his hands, as for the people, they can be removed at any time, as for why it is commercial tax, the minister and Zhao Changshi think the same."

Luo Yangxing obviously went further than Zhao Shizhen thought, and pointed out Zhu Changluo's intentions directly.

In fact, Zhu Changluo planned it this way, where the tax department is located, it seems to be an unimportant thing, but in fact it symbolizes the ownership of power, the reason why he proposed to use Liu Shouyou's people is to paralyze him, so that he thinks that the power of taxation is still in his own hands, but in fact, as long as the tax department is established, Zhu Changluo has countless ways to control it in his own hands, and he has ready-made people at hand, this kind of stealing the concept of things, Luo Yangxing, who was born in Jinyiwei, is simply not too skilled......

"In this case, tomorrow Zhao Changshi will negotiate with Liu Shouyou on behalf of this king, remember to bring Wang An!"

Zhu Changluo continued to speak, which can be regarded as an end to today's discussion.

Everyone has their own strengths, and it is better to leave this kind of negotiation to a bureaucrat like Zhao Shizhen, presumably he will be able to give himself a satisfactory result.

As for bringing Wang An, it was to maintain his image of "young and ignorant, trusting eunuchs" in front of Liu Shouyou.

However, after Zhao Shizhen and Luo Yangxing withdrew from the main hall, Zhu Changluo turned his gaze to the two people beside him again......
