Zhang Wenda, Sun Shenxing and Li Changgeng were falsely accused of 200,000 taels of silver, and the internal officials and eunuchs and Jinyi Wei were responsible for going to the mansion of the three adults to get the silver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not easy to fill so many large boxes.

The old man saw the white silver in the box, and his heart hurt like cutting meat.

One by one, the old tears are crisscrossed.

Oops, the coffin is not in the book~.

On the other side, Yin Fusheng did not follow to search for silver, but did not dare to be negligent for a moment, just left the palace gate, and returned to see Zhu Youxiao again.

Entering the Qianqing Palace again, Yin Fu fell to his knees, "Your Majesty, the ministers and criminals are bullying the king, and they are here to accept the guilt." ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this.

Why do you want to buckle yourself with such a big hat?

This capable person is really not ordinary, and he likes to wear big hats.

"Aiqing, what do you mean?"

"The minister was eager to build the museum, but the household department lacked silver, and the minister had no choice but to set up this plan and borrow silver from the three adults. It's just that I didn't have time to ask His Majesty beforehand. Specially come to receive the guilt. ”

Zhu Youxiao's expression was indifferent, as if he had already known, "I have already guessed this matter." It's just that I know that Aiqing has worked hard, so I didn't expose it. However, Ai Qing knew that they could get the 200,000 taels? ”

Zhu Youxiao can see it, not to mention Ye Xianggao's old foxes. At this time, they sent someone to Jiexiu to inquire. Although Yin Mengzhu is now the actual head of the Fan family, it is not right to give such a large sum of money to her cousin. Even if it is reluctantly borrowed, it will be a great trouble in the future with Yin Mengzhu.

Therefore, Yin Fusheng only borrowed some big wooden boxes and pretended to be.

Hearing that Zhu Youxiao did not pursue it, Yin Fusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, there is a popular saying among the people, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. The three adults are in high positions and weights, how can they be compared with the little prefect? The three adults shared 200,000 taels of silver, and the minister thought that there was no difficulty. ”

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time and nodded slowly.

Doesn't he know that the ministers of the DPRK and China are secretly receiving benefits? It's just that this is not the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the entire court is like this, and it is unlikely that he, the emperor, will be in charge.

"I have Aiqing, it's really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youxiao praised: "If the DPRK and the CCP are all officials like Aiqing, why should I not be worried about the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty has over-praised ......"

"Huh?" After Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a while, he asked: "Aiqing is resourceful, I don't know if there are other strategies to fill the treasury?" ”

Yin Fusheng thought about it, since you asked, then~, I'm welcome.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a shallow view of the matter of filling the treasury, I don't know if Your Majesty wants to listen to the right path or the slope?"

"What's the right way? What is a ramp? ”

"The right way is to change the tax system and increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

"Open source and reduce expenditure? How to open up sources and reduce expenditures? ”

"This is complicated, in short: open source, open the sea, increase business taxes. Those who throttle will abolish the "preferential exemption" and reduce the feudal income. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao closed his eyes slightly, stared at Yin Fusheng, and pondered.

Then, he shook his head heavily, "Aiqing, these things you said can touch the ancestral system in every way." ”

Zhu Youxiao paused and said: "Before, Chen Daoyan changed the tax system to twenty taxes and one, but he was attacked by the people, which shows that this matter is not feasible. I remember that Aiqing should have seen this with her own eyes. ”

"Your Majesty, Chen Dadao did not increase the commercial tax, but deliberately misinterpreted it, what increased the income was the tax of the poor people who set up stalls to live, and took away the people's rations, so can the people not be chaotic?"

Zhu Youxiao was furious when he heard this, "What a Chen Dadao, how dare you deliberately deceive Yu Zhen?!" Alas! The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one tells me the truth~" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be indignant. "But, Aiqing, why didn't you mention this matter to me?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has entered the court again, and he is in a hurry to build a school hall, so he didn't have the opportunity for a while. Moreover, it is true that the increase in commercial taxes cannot be rushed for a while. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "But, why is Aiqing in a hurry to build a miscellaneous school?" ”

"Your Majesty, one of the reasons for the establishment of the school hall is to ban the opening of the sea."

"Oh?"

"If the instrument is unfavorable, the sea cannot be opened. Yiren firearms are strong, and they can't resist unless they have stronger firearms. ”

"So, Aiqing built the school hall to make stronger firearms?"

"Exactly."

"However, there are many drawbacks to the ban on opening the sea, so why must it be opened? How much is the tax benefit? ”

"The specific number, the minister did not dare to say. But why did the imperial court repeatedly ban smuggling by sea? How much profit can it make countless smugglers sacrifice their lives and forget their lives? Your Majesty will be wise and wise enough to guess. ”

"This ......"

Zhu Youxiao pondered.

Yes, if a person is desperate to smuggle, can the profit be small? And there is more than one smuggler, just every year it is reported, and the number of smugglers who are executed is countless.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but gasp.

"Your Majesty, if the sea ban is not opened, all those benefits will fall into the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials along the coast."

"Bold!" Zhu Youxiao was furious when he heard this.

Yin Fusheng was startled and looked at Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao got up and bypassed the Long Shu case and came to Yin Fusheng.

"That's right! Aiqing is right, I will never tolerate anyone who dares to deceive me! ”

Zhu Youxiao gritted his back molars, squinted his eyes, and said with a change of breath: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, but it is difficult to increase business taxes, let alone open the sea?" When Aiqing builds a stronger firearm, I don't know what year it is? ”

Yin Fusheng bowed and said: "Therefore, the top priority is to fill the treasury, open source is not feasible, only throttling." ”

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was even more depressed than when he talked about open source just now.

Yin Fusheng's "abolition of "preferential exemption" is to abolish a "preferential exemption rule" formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty. This system is designed to encourage readers.

It is stipulated in this system that those who win the list can enjoy tax exemption per acre.

The so-called "preferential exemption" does not mean that all fields are exempt, but that they are different according to their merits.

Yin Fusheng continued: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Taizu made this system in order to encourage scholars, but now, the people of the world think that it can be described as such. Trouble.. ”

"Everyone in the world says that the imperial examination is like a big wave sweeping sand, and a fish jumping into the dragon gate. It can be seen that the people who conduct scientific research every year are like the sand on the shore and the fish of the river. However, there are less than 12 out of 1,000 people who can really enter the court as officials and serve the country. The rest, according to the "Preferential and Exemption Regulations", can eat rice and grain for nothing, pamper and treat the best, and raise children in various places, and they can use this to become landlords. The poor thus become landlords, and the rich add to the icing on the cake. But whence the land they have been spared comes from, it is the land of the state, the land of the king. ”

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this, "Go on!" ”

"Your Majesty, according to this rule, Xiucai can be exempted from dozens of acres of field tax, people can be exempted from hundreds of acres of field tax, and Jinshi can be exempted from thousands of acres of field tax. Based on this calculation, only these people who have made no achievements to the country and are lazy have actually scraped tens of millions of acres of land in the country. ”

"What? Tens of millions of acres~? ”

Zhu Youxiao hadn't calculated these at all, and no one would mention them to him before.

It's appalling!

"Your Majesty, that's all, not counting the number of people who have joined forces with officials in their hometowns, concealed their land and property and did not report it."

The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the more angry he became, combined with the current situation, no wonder the treasury had no money, and he made trouble for a long time, and let these waste people who didn't do anything loot it.

"According to what Aiqing said, the acres of land occupied by these scholars are far more than 10 million?"

Yin Fusheng said categorically: "The minister dares to assert, more than that!" Back then, the reason why Wen Zhonggong was criticized and liquidated by scholars was also because Wen Zhonggong saw this clearly. Therefore, laws and regulations were formulated, land production was measured, and officials were purified. Although it filled the treasury, it offended a group of scholars who could only sell their mouths, and it was much more unbearable slander. ”

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, his eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Aiqing's outspokenness, I'm afraid I would never have heard the truth." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Yin Fusheng meaningfully, "However, Yin Aiqing is also a scholar, can you enjoy this preferential benefit~?" ”

Hearing this, Yin Fusheng's brows trembled......
