Chapter 29: The Fighting Method of Monarchs and Ministers (3)

"Yue Fei, the word Pengju. Xiangzhou Tangyin people...... In the first year of Jingkang, Xiangzhou voted Liu Haojun,...... Shaoxing was killed on December 29, 11th year,...... Chunxi five years, Wu Mu ......" This lecturer gave a brief introduction to Yue Fei's life.

"Well, why did you die?"

"Your Majesty, it was the annihilation of Qin Hui." The lecturer said.

"Annihilation? What do you think? ”

A minister came out and played: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the victim of the annihilation minister Qin Hui. The killing of Yue Wumu in Fengbo Pavilion on trumped-up charges was actually the biggest loss of the Southern Song Dynasty, which made the Northern Expedition unsuccessful, and the Song Dynasty finally disappeared. ”

"Qin Hui's victim? Failed Northern Expedition? How did I hear that I was recalled by the twelve gold medals! Why does Qin Hui also have a gold medal, can Yue Fei be recalled? "Regarding those things about Yue Fei and Qin Hui, Yang Reform didn't know how many times he had discussed it on the Internet, and came to the conclusion that the emperor wanted to kill Yue Fei, and Qin Hui came out to be a substitute for the dead ghost, of course, Qin Hui is still a minister. The charge of annihilation cannot be cleared.

"Your Majesty, the gold medal can only be issued by the emperor, and Qin Hui cannot issue the gold medal...... However, annihilation can trick the emperor into sending out gold medals. The minister thought for a moment and replied.

"Hehe, annihilating people? When the emperor doesn't have a little brain? Let a courtier trick himself into recalling the army of the Northern Expedition with twelve gold medals? ”

"This ......," the minister was dumbfounded, not knowing how to proceed.

"I'm afraid this matter is also related to Yue Fei himself, Yue Fei wants to go on a northern expedition, which is a good thing, but unfortunately he still has to welcome back the second emperor, which makes Song Gaozong Zhao embarrassed? The second emperor is back, what else is his emperor doing? Either poisoned or confined to seclusion. There must be no good fruit to eat, so Song Gaozong used twelve gold medals to stop the Northern Expedition, and then killed Yue Fei, right? ”

Yang's words and theories were all heard from the forums of the 21st century, and in the ears of the elites of the Ming Dynasty, it was like a huge thunderclap. These words are the words of the heart, the ministers listened to the heart of the panic, sweat on their foreheads, thinking that the emperor can really think, can really toss, and began to regret that the emperor should not be forced to have a sutra feast, here to listen to the emperor talk about this kind of words, I am afraid that I don't know how to die in the future. As a minister, the most taboo thing is to participate in these battles for the throne.

"The minister is frightened, the minister should be damned......" The lecturer was at a loss, frightened to death by Yang Reform's shocking remarks, knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, just blindly claiming guilty. The ministers were stunned and uncomfortable.

Yang Gengai saw the embarrassed look of the ministers, and he was a little happy in his heart. He also said: "Taking history as a mirror, the same thing happened in our dynasty, the change of Tumubao, and later welcomed back Yingzong, and the result was the "change of seizing the door". Hey, isn't it? ……”

Yang's words were as cold as absolute zero. All the ministers were "frozen". Is this also being discussed here? Taboo! This is definitely a taboo in the emperor's family, and now it has been translated by Yang Reform, and it is mercilessly compared with Jingkang's difficulty.

The ministers just want to plug their ears with things, and regret giving the emperor a feast, if today's words are spread, they will be remembered by the emperor and bewitched by others, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as not having good fruit to eat.

Yang Reform, an otaku in the 21st century, did not have any taboos, and he did not expect that talking about the "family affairs" of the emperor's family in this way would make these ministers panic. A person is there gushing endlessly, spitting his "experience".

Be quiet!

Yang Reform felt that something was wrong! Hehe, it turned out that the people who knelt on the ground were very bullish just now, and all the ministers who did not force Yang Reform to the "right path" were all lying on the ground.

Yang Gai smiled proudly in his heart: Hehe! Fight with me! Let you know the fighting power of my otaku. I'm a 21st century otaku of "Baidu in hand, I have the world", you rotten Confucians fight with me, it's not the same street!

……

"Get up, and go on." Yang Gengai shouted proudly. Yang Gengai began to like this feast.

The earthly minister Shane then got up again. Trembling, still listening to this feast? I'm afraid my life is gone.

An old minister came forward and played: "The old minister, please change your majesty, it is really not my courtiers to talk about this matter like this." ”

The old minister's face is big, and Yang Reform will be obedient.

"Then let's change the topic, don't talk about the 'change of civil fort', now that the finances of my Ming Dynasty are tight, let's talk about this financial matter, which can be regarded as a serious matter, and also learn a little lesson from history." Yang Reform was very confident, and on top of this feast, he began to talk eloquently, and he had the posture of fighting the ministers. Reliance is the "discussion" that I saw on the forum before.

"Your Majesty." The minister on the ground knelt again, finally no longer having to listen to the damn royal taboo.

"Well, since we are talking about the Southern Song Dynasty, let's talk about it according to the finances of the Southern Song Dynasty, and find some lessons from the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, what do you think Aiqing?" Yang Reform "deliberately" chose such a dynasty as the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the midst of the "goodness" of the ministers, the feast began again.

This time, there was a different lecturer, and I waited for a while before the banquet was held again. It is estimated that it is based on the information of the Southern Song Dynasty.

"At the beginning of crossing the river, the southeast income was less than 10 million, and the supply was 2 million, which was also ...... In the last years of Shaoxing, Hecha salt and wine counted more than 60 million yuan of money for smelting goods and purchases...... In the last years of the Gaozong Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty, the annual income reached 100 million guan, and although the financial income began to decline during the period of filial piety, his annual income still reached 65 million guan...... "This lecturer was more reading materials than "educating" the emperor, and it is estimated that he was also frightened by the emperor's remarks just now. At every turn, he talks about taboos. Who dares to talk to you, the emperor!

……

"How can there be so much money? More than 60 million? 100 million? What was the annual income of our Ming Dynasty? Yang asked reform.

One of the ministers came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have earned nearly three million taels of silver in the past year. "It is estimated that it is from the household department, and it is more clear about the money.

"How is it only three million taels? So less? "Yang Reform has no idea about the income of his Ming Dynasty, he only knows that the money is not enough. Unexpectedly, the annual income of the whole country was only three million taels. It's a little less presentable.

"Your Majesty, this is only the silver tax, and there are other equivalent to about twenty-four million taels." The minister played again.

"All of them are only twenty-four million taels?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, three million taels of silver, Tian Fu and other about twenty-four million taels, together only two hundred and seventy-seven thousand taels." [I'm not sure about the exact number, but I'm just estimating it myself; In addition, except for the Liao salary, the salary of the Liao salary has increased by more than 20 million taels in history. 】

"Less than 30 million taels? How do you separate silver from other things? Looking at me, the Ming Dynasty seems to collect millions of taels of silver every year. Yang Gengai was puzzled, and he couldn't understand what was going on with the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, my Chaotian Fu is paid according to the actual receipt, what is planted is paid, and it can be folded, in addition, tea, salt, wine, calculation, pit metallurgy, goods, and purchase and so on are generally paid in silver."

"What to plant, what to give? ...... "poof" ...... "Yang Reform sprayed a sip of tea far away, and he almost laughed, what to plant and what to give?" So if I plant a few turnip fields, wouldn't I be able to hand over a few turnips? The tax collector came, and took a few turnips? It seems funny.

"Your Majesty, please ......" This lecturer is more responsible, and is about to remind Yang Reform to pay attention to his image. Yang reform has returned to normal.

"Well, go on?" Yang Gai felt that the financial complexity of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond his imagination.

……

"I ...... the salt tax"

……

"Tea Tax ......"

……

"Municipal Taxation ......"

……

This lecturer said a lot, Yang Reform only had one feeling, the Ming Dynasty's taxation was very chaotic, and his own brain seemed to be even more confused.

"Why is there such a big gap between our dynasty and the Song dynasty? Ladies and gentlemen, who can explain my doubts? "Yang Reform has a headache.

……

There was silence, not a single minister squeaked.

"Who is bigger in my dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, my dynasty far surpasses the Southern Song Dynasty."

"How is the population of our dynasty compared to the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the population of our dynasty has been recuperating for more than 200 years, and it is far beyond the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Since our dynasty is larger than the Southern Song Dynasty and has a larger population, why is the tax revenue only less than 30% of that of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"This ......," the lecturer no longer knew how to answer the emperor's words. Thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, the tax in our dynasty is very low, and Emperor Taizu has set a policy of hiding wealth from the people, so the tax income is not as good as that of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

Low taxes in the Ming Dynasty? Yang Gengai wondered, didn't the history class say that the Ming Dynasty was very dark? Did expropriation lead to a peasant uprising? Why did the Ming Dynasty say that its taxes were very low?

"Since our court's taxes are so low, and now that the court is in urgent need of money, can we raise taxes?"

"Your Majesty, no." The lecturer hurriedly denied.

"Why not, our dynasty pays very low taxes, and hides wealth from the people, more than 200 years of accumulation, and now the court is using money, can't you come up with some to save the emergency?"

"Your Majesty, this ......" This lecturer is hard to speak! Can this be said explicitly? Clearly, these ministers turned around and cut themselves.

"Which Aiqing is willing to solve my doubts?" Yang Gengai set his sights on the ministers again.

This matter is actually very simple, the tax increase will definitely not be added to the heads of these Ming Dynasty elites, and it has nothing to do with the elites, and it will be added to the common people. Your emperor said to add one point, and when it comes to the peasants, it is five points, why? Drift! The land of the world is in the hands of the elites, and the ministers still know it, and they also know where the taxes are finally added, in case the emperor is now asked to raise taxes, in case there is an "uprising" one day, these ministers can't eat and go around, so why stir up this troubled waters? Drinking doves to quench thirst is the best portrayal of tax increases, and the ministers all understand it, but can they say it? No. I had no choice but to be silent.

……

The minister is still silent, there is no way to say this, to explain that the tax of the DPRK is indeed not heavy, but it is not heavy, and more people think that it is better not to pay. Typical is that the people are rich and the country is poor, and it is more vivid that there are two ends and fat in the middle. I didn't expect that once the Ming Dynasty fell, what was waiting for them was the butcher's knife of wild boar skin. They are the pigs and sheep who sharpen their knives and go to the pigs and sheep.

……

In the silence, this feast was dissolved. The ministers also did not give Yang reform a "political lesson". Yang Reform also did not give the ministers "anti-brainwashing". Yang Gengai saw some problems from this lecture.

I don't have the time and energy to fight with these elites of the Ming Dynasty. It is worse to collect taxes from them than to kill them. The wild boar skin is about to enter the customs, and you have to figure it out yourself. Silver, money, food, and the army, these three things are the rope that hangs around your neck! It's tightening every day.

Silver! Silver!! Where is the silver? Yang Reform wants to shout loudly!
