A banquet that originally brainwashed the emperor has become a popular science classroom, and I have to say that Yang Reform's crooked work is amazing.

The ministers seriously discussed with the emperor how to promote this new weighing instrument, but obviously, when encountering a big problem, the weighing instrument was determined and promoted, so should the person who invented this invention also be rewarded? Give a treat or something? Otherwise, it is obviously unjustifiable for the court to just take other people's things and not give an explanation.

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to reward Sun Liniang, the shopkeeper of Liulizhai, otherwise, this weighing instrument is afraid that the name of the instrument will not be right, and the words will not be good!" Shi Fenglai stood up first, since he took refuge in the emperor, it was very thorough. Everyone knows that Sun Liniang is the emperor's woman, and now she has such a big credit, and after that, this Sun Liniang may not be going to enter the palace as a mother, Shi Fenglai decided to consider for the emperor, and officially brought Sun Liniang to the front desk to find a good opportunity for the emperor to accept people.

Shi Fenglai was originally very serious, but as soon as he said it, he just said that the ministers who were promoting weighing instruments were very serious, and they became ambiguous again.

The hot gaze of the ministers, like a laser, really made Yang Reform's face feverish, this kind of thing, I am really a little embarrassed, I can't open that mouth.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be taken seriously, since there is merit and merit, and merit to the Ming Dynasty, then it should be rewarded, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman." Shi Fenglai once again supported the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this matter should be rewarded, and it should be greatly rewarded to reflect the wisdom of my lord!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since he has merit, he must be rewarded."

Shi Fenglai is finally the first assistant, and there are still a few people in the emperor's imperial party, and they have also stood up a lot and shouted for the emperor, so that the atmosphere did not continue to be embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is right to be rewarded for meritorious service, but how should Sun Liniang be rewarded? As a woman, it is not easy for her to be an official, but she is unmarried, if she is named a lady or something, wouldn't it be nondescript? He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, raised a specific question, that is, Sun Liniang is not married yet, according to the rewards of the imperial court, women are generally given Mrs. Decree, and Mrs. Decree is generally from his husband's official character, obviously, this is a contradiction.

As soon as the ministers said that the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Rites were still in charge, they immediately aimed their eyes at the emperor, and the emperor was obviously responsible for this matter, obviously, it was impossible to give Sun Liniang a title such as Mrs. Decree, if you want that, where will the emperor be? They still want to eat.

Yang felt that this matter was indeed a bit troublesome.

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty likes Miss Sun, why don't you invite Miss Sun into the palace? Isn't that the best of both worlds? "Shi Fenglai continues to be the brick of the revolution, and the emperor will move it wherever he needs, and when things come to this point, Shi Fenglai thinks that it is better to simply, to put it bluntly, it's better, this Sun Liniang has become a concubine, and the problem of this reward is not a problem.

After the matter was broken, the ministers were even more "unscrupulous" and "ill-intentioned" laughing, men begging for concubines, everyone understands.

"Hey...... It's not that I don't want to invite Liniang to the palace, it's that she refuses! I can't help it. Yang Gengai saw that the matter had been said, but he was not so embarrassed, but talked about it generously.

"Your Majesty,...... No, how could this be? Your Majesty wants to coax more, women are the most happy, as long as Your Majesty coaxes, presumably Miss Sun will obediently listen to Your Majesty's words. ”

"That's right! Your Majesty, what kind of system is this? As a woman of His Majesty, how can she show her face outside? Your Majesty should coax Miss Sun into the palace, or it won't be long before a son and a half daughter are born for Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better to be a mother than a businessman? ”

"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and invite Miss Sun into the palace, the palace is prosperous, I think Miss Sun will like the life in the palace, wouldn't it be better to open a shop far away?"

"Your Majesty, it's right to listen to the minister, this minister has experience......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, why didn't Your Majesty carry Miss Sun into the palace in a sedan chair? Once you enter the palace, it will be difficult to get out, and Your Majesty will love and love it well......"

Speaking of the things that men "like to see", the ministers no longer have the appearance of ministers, and they have given ideas to the "little young" emperor, as if we are very experienced, ambiguous and ambiguous, salivating face.

Yang Gai looked at this group of old immortals with tears and laughter to give him ideas. What the fuck is this! I originally wanted to make trouble on the prayer banquet and crooked the building of the prayer feast, but I didn't expect that this group of old silver sticks actually crooked their own building.

Wang Chengen looked at this group of ministers and saw that the guards around him, and even the eunuchs were not in shape, and the emperor looked even more embarrassed and had to cough.

"Ahem......"

The scene quieted down at this time, and the Wenhua Hall was like a place to deal with political affairs, and the ministers who were still playing ambiguous and salivating just now immediately changed their expressions and became extremely serious again.

"Liniang doesn't enter the palace, don't talk about this matter, and think of other ways." Yang reformed.

There is a big difference between the Ming Dynasty and other dynasties, that is, the emperor's wife, empress, or other concubines have always been small surnames, poor families, and very low backgrounds, unlike many dynasties, the marriage of the emperor and the prince is a political transaction.

For example, Chongzhen's queen is from a poor family, and her father is said to be a fortune teller; Tian Guifei's father is even more businessman, and her stepmother is even more of a dusty woman; There is even the matter of the emperor marrying a divorced woman, and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, if they marry the daughter of a pig killer, this is completely normal, so this is a big strange thing in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a great miracle.

The ministers have no choice, they can't seal the order, and the master refuses to bring people into the palace, so what can I do?

"Who said it can't be sealed? If you can't seal the lady, can't you still seal a decree? I am a general officer and soldier of Qin Liangyu and Qin, but I am a female general, why can't Miss Sun be sealed? A minister suddenly broke out in an upset.

"This is different, the officers and soldiers of General Qin attacked the officials of his husband's family according to the local official rules, so even if he was sealed an official and became an official of the imperial court, this is also a special case." One of the ministers immediately retorted.

"Your Majesty, the minister disagrees, it is true that the officers and soldiers of Qin attacked the official position of the husband's family, but the official position of his husband's family is just a small local official, Xuanfu envoy, and now, Qin Liangyu and Mrs. Qin are the chief officers and soldiers with real power, all of them are superintendents, and they are also the second-grade official uniforms they received, which has opened a precedent for women to be officials, in this case, why is it difficult for Miss Sun to be rewarded? The minister thinks that there is no need to order Mrs., remove Mrs., and directly seal it with a decree, why bother so much? As long as I am credited to the Ming Dynasty, the court, and the people, there are so many rules? There has always been a saying that 'women don't let their eyebrows', and there are precedents to follow, so it's no problem to award rewards. ”

This person's words said that Yang Reform's heart went to the heart.

"Yes, yes, I love to hear this, the deeds of Mrs. Qin, I have heard of it since I was a child, and I admire Mrs. Qin very much, as long as I am credited to the Ming Dynasty, I will not be stingy with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and will never discriminate against women.

The emperor's words involved several generations of emperors, which made the ministers who still wanted to argue shut up. It is an indisputable fact that Qin Liangyu was respected by the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty. has been rewarded by the emperors of the previous two generations, and in the mind of the current son of heaven, he has a status, and it is not difficult to specially recruit into Beijing to defend the Beijing division, and it is not difficult to add officials to the knighthood. Since the matter takes her as a benchmark, let's talk about it, so as not to be embarrassed to meet with the court as an official in the future.

Ministers were less opposed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to award a seven-grade loose official undertaker, which not only reflects the generosity of Your Majesty and the court, but also has no conflict with the current official system, and Miss Sun does not need to go out to be an official, so the minister thinks, Your Majesty, this loose official is very suitable for Miss Sun." Shoufu Shi Fenglai tried every means to speak for the emperor and fight for the emperor to the end.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is more appropriate to grant a loose official, and our dynasty is based on the official position and determines the official rank, which may not be suitable for Miss Sun, so it is in line with Miss Sun's situation to give a loose official without a specific official position, which can not only reflect the generosity of the court and the wisdom of His Majesty, but also enable Miss Sun to be rewarded, both correct. "He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up and spoke for the emperor, this matter stands in a fair perspective, a weighing instrument of weights and measures is exchanged for a seven-grade loose official, this can only be said that the woman is at a loss. The weighing instrument is the previous tripod! It is a heavy instrument associated with national fortune and legal principles, and the ancient saying is that the Dingding Central Plains is now the role of these weighing instruments at that time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers agree...... "Some ministers also agree with this proposal, dispersing officials in the Ming Dynasty is really nothing, just a little honor, no real power, no impact on the current system, it is indeed a good choice to send people.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agreed, however, the minister thought that Miss Sun was a woman, and she had the merit of offering weights and measures, so the minister thought that Your Majesty should give Miss Sun some privileges, for example, those who see officials do not need to kneel and worship...... "The people of the imperial party are not vegetarians, and they immediately reap benefits for the emperor."

"Good! Then let's do it, give a seven-grade loose official, and don't worship the official. "Yang's reform was settled.

The other ministers should not have heard it, a loose official, no official position, no interference and influence on the current official system, do not kneel, that is because she is the emperor's woman, you ask her to kneel, it is equivalent to asking the concubines in the palace to bow down to you, what kind of behavior are you?

"My Emperor Shengming." All the ministers visited together. Only then can the crooked behavior of this sutra feast be curbed.

…… The matter of the thermometer and the reward came to an end.

Yang Reform thought again, he maybe, it is time to start that incident, that incident will definitely be a nuclear explosion in the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely be a major event in the Ming Dynasty that will change the direction of history.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to say." Yang Gengai cleared his throat and prepared to start the matter.

When the ministers saw the emperor speak, they immediately stood up and ended the conversation.

"Recently, the cost of relief in various places is huge, and the war is all over the place, not to mention, just a few days ago, I sent a brigade of elites to Shaanxi to suppress the people's rebellion, and today, I got the news again, and Lin Dan Khan's alliance reached an agreement, all of them need to use soldiers, a use of soldiers, you also know that the cost is a bottomless pit, I also feel the pressure! My internal funds are gradually drying up, so I want to tell you that I want to find a way to replenish some internal funds, otherwise, when the time comes, there will be no money for the war, wouldn't it be a disaster? Yang Gai said.

As soon as everyone heard that it was this, their faces immediately changed, and their internal money was exhausted, what was the emperor going to do? Obviously, it's to make extra money! There are really not many places that the emperor can fish, and the most common is to increase taxes. For example, mining tax, commercial tax or something, and these are the forbidden arms of the Ming Dynasty scholars, and no one can move it, even the emperor.

This time, Shi Fenglai didn't dare to stand on the platform with the emperor, this was the enemy of the entire officialdom! Shi Fenglai shrunk his neck, Xia said that it was hot, and he felt that his neck was a little cold.

The ministers all shrank their heads, and no one was silent.

"Tell me, what good deal can I make to increase my income? I urgently need money to fight, and without money, I'm afraid that this battle will not be achieved. Yang Gai said again.

Everyone never believed that the emperor would have no money to fight, but only believed that the emperor wanted to get some money from, and the most likely thing was that the emperor wanted to collect taxes.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Liulizhai, said to be in the gold, how can you be short of money? His Majesty laughed. "One of the ministers said what was in everyone's hearts. The emperor will be short of money, that's really hell, everyone still expects the emperor to give everyone money, then in the bank, it is said that there are five or six million taels of silver, and there is no money? Trick the devil to go.

"Hehe, although Liulizhai can make a little money, but it can't stand the wars everywhere! To fight a war is to burn money, and no amount of money will be spent! Mao Wenlong wants silver there, Yuan Chonghuan wants silver there, Lin Danhan also wants silver now, the border soldiers, make up the underpayment, the military salary needs silver, the Beijing division needs the guard, this also needs silver, Shaanxi wants to suppress the people's rebellion, but also needs silver, disaster relief, let's not talk about this...... What I mean is that I want to add a little bit of commercial tax and put the commercial tax in order, so as to relieve the pressure on my internal money, and the soldiers will not run out of money to pay when they go to war! "Yang Reform is ready to open nuclear weapons at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Although everyone knows the emperor's accounts, everyone still doesn't believe in the emperor, and they still fight everywhere without money? Still throwing money around? Who believes that there is no money? It's just to find an excuse to collect taxes, to put it bluntly, it's to find an excuse to scrape the skin from us, and the ministers look at the emperor vigilantly.

"Your Majesty, don't compete with the people for profit! If Your Majesty increases the commercial tax, it will definitely lead to the rise of all kinds of things, and it will definitely hurt the people! The people are the foundation of our dynasty, Your Majesty, no additional commercial taxes can be levied! A minister jumped out and wailed.

Yang Gengai sneered in his heart, he knew that you would say this, you guys, you guys, can't you say something else? A tax agency in a tea-producing area collects a few taels of silver a year for me to pay a tea tax, which is fucking embarrassing to hurt the people, is tea affordable for ordinary people?

"Hey...... what is it that doesn't collect business taxes? The field endowment cannot be increased any more, and the household department is without money, and my internal funds are about to be exhausted, can the war be suspended? Is there a mining tax? Or something else? Is it okay for the city's company? "Yang reform threw out a few tax items, these names, in the Wanli Dynasty, because the emperor sent eunuchs to collect taxes, and finally led to the death, and because of this, Wanli was criticized by the literati, in fact, Wanli averaged to each year, but only collected more than 400,000 taels of taxes, and confiscated for a long time, for an empire with a population of more than 100 million, it can only be said to be a drizzle, 400,000 taels of silver spread to everyone's head, in fact, just a few pennies, it really hurt a hair. In the face of huge profits in business, this money is not worth mentioning at all.

"Your Majesty, if there are many disasters today, and the people in the world are already poor, it is time to raise the vitality of the world, Your Majesty should not collect more taxes, because you should find more ways from other places."

"Since the commercial tax is not good, it is to compete for profits from the people and hurt the people, then it is good to levy the mining tax, these years, the pit mining tax has not been collected very seriously, and now, it is the time when the country urgently needs money, collect a little up, and ease the tense situation of the imperial court, this mining tax has nothing to do with the common people, and it will not hurt them, just collect the mining tax, if the mining tax is collected, I can share it equally with the household department, hehe, how?" Yang Gai said in a joking tone.

The ministers all lowered their heads, is this pit class so easy to open? Isn't that a pit mining? That has no background? The people who collected taxes were killed in the mountains and didn't know that they still collected taxes? Besides, to collect taxes is to pluck the feathers from us, and the bureaucrats are silent and respond to the emperor with silence, and this mining tax is not only uncollectible, but also uncollectible.

"Don't speak? Is that not going to work? Since it is not possible to collect mining taxes, how about adding and rectifying the tariffs of the city's shipping divisions? This has nothing to do with the people, but it has nothing to do with the people under my Damei, so it should be okay this time, right? Yang asked with a smile. This is all in preparation for the launch of the atomic bomb.

The ministers were silent again, this maritime trade, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even Fujian, Liangguang, that is a lot of people relying on this to make a profit, and the official did not put a little silver into it, and collected taxes from here, which is to pick our skin! Why did the ministers cripple the city? Isn't it just to make a little more money? It is certainly not possible to reorganize the city.

"What's wrong? None to speak? There is also a saying about this commercial tax, which does not compete with the people, but this pit mining tax, the tariff of the city shipping department has nothing to do with the people, right? Don't you talk about it? Yang Gengai said with a sneer, mocking his ministers in a mocking tone.
