In the early dynasty, it was no longer a solo singer, but more like you singing and I took the stage. Zhou Yanru, who was reactivated, elaborated on the facts he had seen in the past six months, and pained the drawbacks of the tax system. Among them, the key cases are the disadvantages of low commercial and mining taxes and the same agricultural tax in the north and south. Citing examples to demonstrate, those Donglin ministers were speechless.

People have used examples, and the facts are in front of them, so what is there to argue. Or how to call it hard work and prosperity. In the past six months, in addition to going to Dengzhou to solve Yang Fan's matter, Zhou Yanru has been surveying Shandong, Henan, Jiangnan and other places as a minister. Zhu Youzhen only said one word to him, if what you see is the same as what I saw in the song, don't come to Jingshi. Zhou Yanru understands that this is an excellent opportunity for him to make a comeback, so he naturally will not let it go.

The upper wants to be politically connected, but the lower is not reached. That's the biggest headache. Zhou Yanru told some local people about their understanding of the original tax reform, which shocked the court at that time. Most of the ordinary people don't know what kind of tax has been changed, but they only know that the tax will be raised, so they complain one after another. As everyone knows, the increase in the commercial and mining tax is tantamount to reducing the burden of agricultural tax. As long as the national treasury is full, it will naturally be less dependent on agricultural taxes.

When he heard about it, Zhu Youzhen was very annoyed, and immediately ordered Jinyiwei to invite Wen Tiren to roast and drink tea, so there were rumors of Wen Tiren's disappearance.

The official naturally clung to the ancestral system and refused to let go. Most of them are not dismissed for personal gain. Many are corrupt and foolish people. The Donglin Qunchen, who was reused at the beginning, was born in the Jiangnan Shi clan, and naturally did not want such a tax reform, and made speeches one after another, saying that the tax reform was a move to abandon the original and the last, and the fierce medicine was superfluous, and for the sake of the long-term country, it should not be done like this.

After fighting like this for nearly half an hour, Zhu Youzhen, who was originally determined to reform the tax, hesitated again. I am afraid that the bold decision I made will become a faint monarch who will ruin the country.

After going down to the court, Zhu Youzhen was rare to have leisure and elegance, sitting in the pavilion in the back garden, the wind was a little cold. He added a cloak and looked at the old man kneeling outside the pavilion.

"The old bachelor is in good health, very lucky."

"Blessed by the Holy Majesty." Although the skinny Lai Zongdao is no longer in office, his false title is still there.

The sun shone on Zhu Youzhen's somewhat square face, a little fair. He took a sip of his tea. "Sit down, I." I asked you to enter the palace this time just to hear your opinion. ”

Came to the sect to salute, stood aside respectfully, and said, "Dare to ask the Holy Lord, what are your opinions about?" Although he has rarely appeared in the court since his retirement, this measure is still accurate. At the beginning, he was well versed in advancing and retreating, and did not form a party. However, it is because there is no party. Even if he had a seemingly unrelated relationship with the Wei Party during the Apocalypse, and later with the Donglin Party that wanted to form a party but did not form a party, there were not a few people in the DPRK who impeached him. It's black and white, and there is no room for people like him to exist. Therefore, even if he finally kept Qian Yiqian, he failed to keep his position, but he made himself retreat, and he ended up not too miserable.

Zhu Youjian said: "This tax reform was also carried out during the Apocalypse. You, the 'Qingke Prime Minister', are not shouting in vain, tell me whether this tax reform will be changed or not? ”

This next turn came to the sect and the sect was silent. Tax reform during the Apocalypse. To put it bluntly, it was Wei Zhongxian's handiwork to collect money and fill in the treasury, and he naturally knew what the situation was at that time. Now that the Wei Party has been annihilated, this Zhu Youzhen still has to ask about the tax reform during the Apocalypse. When you come to the sect, you will inevitably have to think about it.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the winter sun and muttered: "Back then, I said that if I wanted fame and fortune, I could give it to him." As long as it's not too much, who doesn't have a sense of selfishness. Du Ruhai is too heavy on profits and swallows too much. In the end, he sank himself. I know that you have a way to advance and retreat, so I will ask you whether this tax reform will work or not. ”

"You can say yes, and you can also say no." Lai Zongdao hunched his back, looking like an old dragon bell. His hands were in his sleeves and he stood motionless respectfully.

Zhu Youzhen raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The saint said that it would work, but who in the world would dare to say that it wouldn't work? Even if there is opposition, as long as the Holy God believes in his heart that it will work, it will work. On the contrary, if the saint himself is ambiguous, he is not sure. Then it's like wading through the water to cross a river, whether the front is deep or shallow, and you naturally have to try it to know. ”

The language in the pavilion is quiet, and the fragrant tea is wafting.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the cloudless sky, and said, "Then let's give it a try." It's just that I'm worried about whether it's too late? ”

Come to the sect and bow down, and say: "It's not too late." ”

……

……

On Erlong Mountain, the army began to sweep the entire surrounded mountain as soon as it was dawn. The remnants of the hundreds of bandits on the mountain were all taken down the mountain. Qian Qiye took a piece of drawing paper with an ugly face and walked past the front of the rows of bandits.

"Have you seen this person?"

"I didn't ...... No. ”

Qian Qiye pulled down the portrait in frustration and continued to ask. Yang Fan's disappearance is undoubtedly the worst news. Before Lu Xiangsheng left, he told him that he must ensure Yang Fan's safety, but he didn't expect that in just half a month, this person disappeared like this, and how could he explain to Lu Xiangsheng.

Gao Feng, who had long seen Yang Fan's displeasure, heard that Yang Fan was missing, and was happy to jump out of the tent and hurriedly came to find out if the news was true. Seeing the army searching the mountains over and over again, Gao Feng dangled around with his hands behind his back and said without pain, and said: "The remaining bandits have been arrested, and if you still search for something, you should collect the troops and go back." ”

"Gao Jianjun, Dean Yang is missing." Han Qi had just looked around the mountain in armor.

"Ah, Dean Yang is gone, was he killed by this bandit, tsk, I didn't expect this Dean Yang, who is like a god, to be sacrificed like this, it's a pity." The old eunuch said sourly. He pretended to be sorry, then looked up and said, "Since you are missing, if you can't find it, you can report it as a martyr." Oh yes. He covered his mouth in surprise and said: "This Dean Yang Fan Yang is not in the military register, tsk, it seems that there is no need to report it." ”

"Don't forget, Gao Jianjun. This Dean Yang is a celebrity around the saint at the beginning, if it really doesn't work like this, if the saint blames him, you and I will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

Gao Feng's face changed, and he said, "This bandit Dean Yang is missing, do you want to blame me for waiting?" You can find it as you like, but this prison will certainly make it clear in the newspaper that this situation is not our fault. ”

Qian Qiye walked over with a cold face, saw the back of the yin and yang weirdness, and said with a disgusted face: "Old Han, I have found it, but no." No bodies were found, and if so, it could only be the dozens of charred corpses. (To be continued.) )
