Tang Ming was not wrong at all, as soon as Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace, he immediately told the emperor what he had seen and heard. Zhu Di, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was also very surprised, and after unsuccessful discussions with the queen, he naturally found Tang Ming, the person who caused this series of problems.

caused such a big disaster, Tang Ming still seemed very calm, Zhu Gaochi deliberately guarded the door to inform Tang Ming to be careful after entering, but was kicked away by Tang Ming.

", it's not all because of you that I'm here to fake a cat crying mouse, is it useful?" Tang Ming suddenly became furious, and scolded Zhu Gaochi is head and face.

Although his face was angry, if he looked carefully, it was not difficult to find that Tang Ming had a smile in his eyes. This guy obviously took the opportunity to take revenge, and seized the opportunity to attack Zhu Gaochi and took the opportunity to attack.

Poor Zhu Gaochi didn't know Tang Ming's careful thoughts, and really thought that he was really impatient. Thinking about it, he dragged Tang Ming to do this and that by himself at the beginning, and just now he went to the emperor to tell the truth, and then he remembered that Tang Ming's safety was indeed a little unreasonable.

After Tang Ming succeeded, he didn't give Zhu Gaochi a chance to react, and went directly into the imperial study. The emperor and the queen were sitting next to the desk and chatting about something, and when they saw Tang Ming coming, the emperor's face tense and he shouted coldly.

"Boldly Weihaihou, dare to do something to the prince at the door of my imperial study, what kind of system."

Cold sweat broke out on Tang Ming's forehead, secretly blaming himself for being too proud just now and making too much of the movement, and now the prince's son is here. The son was bullied, and he, who was the old man, naturally couldn't help but make a noise.

Seeing that Tang Ming was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, Zhu Di slowed down and said, "Weihai, you can be convicted." ”

"Wechen is guilty!"

"Where is the sin?"

"Weichen should not develop the economy of the Ming Dynasty, let alone pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the water, nor should he put the emperor in trouble for tens of millions of taels of silver." What Zhu Di called himself to do, Tang Ming couldn't be clearer. At this time, he didn't bother to play any dumb riddles with him and pretend to be confused, so he said it all neatly.

"Count you kid still a little self-aware."

Zhu Di slowed down his tone and thought for a moment before continuing: "Since you kid also know that you are at fault, can you come up with a remedy now?" ”

Tang Ming smiled secretly in his heart, although the other party was the emperor, he couldn't bully himself like this. The business has been developed, and the money has also gone into the hands of the queen, and now if something happens, you have to carry all the black pots yourself, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

"Emperor Qi, Wechen actually mentioned this matter to the queen from the beginning, it may be that the queen didn't hear it clearly or forgot, which led to the current situation, if it is really discussed, Weichen is also wronged!"

I honestly confessed my guilt just now, but this time I cried and complained about wrongdoing, the change came too suddenly, and Zhu Di was stunned on the spot. The queen was even more surprised, he clearly remembered that he had never heard Tang Ming mention to him that farmers would go to odd jobs or do business, and waste large tracts of land without farming.

The mother of a dignified country was wronged by a marquis, and this is worth it!

"Weihaihou, you have made it clear to the mourning family, if you can't explain this matter clearly, see if the mourning family will spare you." The queen also seemed to be really angry, staring at Tang Ming's eyes flickering non-stop.

Tang Ming's face pretended to be aggrieved, and Hong Sheng said: "The queen still remembers that when Weichen first implemented the increase in commercial taxes, she asked for more. It is even necessary to impose most of the current agricultural tax on the commercial tax, so as to reduce the burden on the peasant households and encourage them to cultivate more. ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen's momentum immediately decreased, and she also remembered that Tang Ming had indeed repeatedly asked herself to reduce agricultural taxes at the beginning. But since ancient times, agricultural taxes have been the first source of economic resources for a dynasty, so she did not dare to reduce agricultural taxes.

She listened to Tang Ming's words to the commercial tax, and added a lot of commercial taxes under various names. However, as a result, the abandonment of farming and business by farmers has become more and more intense, and now the situation is almost unfinishable.

Zhu Di had already learned from the look on his wife's face that Tang Ming was not talking nonsense. From this point of view, Tang Ming was indeed wronged just now, but as a monarch, he naturally had no reason to apologize to his courtiers.

In order to cover up the embarrassment for his wife, Zhu Di coughed lightly and turned to the topic lightly: "Now that I know about this matter, Weihaihou should talk about how to curb the problem of farmers not farming!" ”

This is a signal, Zhu Di also obviously made concessions, Tang Ming naturally didn't dare to entangle any further, in front of the emperor and queen, what is the difference between that and looking for death.

"Your Majesty, this matter is actually very simple, just raise the commercial tax, and then use the extra commercial tax to encourage farmers to farm. As long as the farmers' efforts and income reach a balance, the farmers will naturally return to the farmland. Farmers can make a good living by arriving the land, so who is idle and bored to do an industry they are not familiar with. ”

Tang Ming's method is easy to say, but it is very difficult to really do it, Daming's current situation is that good land and land are in the hands of some princes and nobles. There is not much land left for the people to cultivate.

Therefore, if you want to really solve the food problem of the Ming Dynasty, you have to take these so-called nobles fundamentally. But if the interests of this class are touched, it will definitely be a sensation in the whole country, and there will be rebellions every minute if you are not careful.

Tang Ming didn't want to participate in it himself, so he definitely didn't mention this point.

Zhu Di adopted Tang Ming's method and immediately ordered people to formulate a series of measures, and then began to promote them on a trial basis from Nanjing. In the beginning, the farmers were skeptical and waited until some people actually benefited, and those who had a wait-and-see attitude began to follow suit.

But even so, there are still not many people who go back to farming, and the farmers who will go back are all their own land. And those who had no land at home, and who used to work as servants for those princes and nobles, did not go back.

Because the emperor's preferential policies do not benefit them at all, it can be said that this series of attractive policies has nothing to do with their half a dime. The fiefs of the princes and nobles were their own, and they did not have to pay any agricultural taxes to the imperial court.

At once of a sudden, it was not these princes and nobles who got the benefits, but they did not give the benefits to the peasants, but withheld them all.

Zhu Di soon learned about this, but he didn't have any clue about how to solve it. Fortunately, Tang Ming's method still had some effect, and it also solved Zhu Di's urgent need. (To be continued.) )
