The fire in the study room is booming! The sound of beeping and beeping makes this quiet and scary upper study full of the collision of ideas!

These thoughts make the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, even the top-level readers like Zhou Yanru and Shi Kefa, unable to understand it for a while!

Although it was as warm as spring in the upper study, Zhou Yanru and Shi Kefa were in a cold sweat, not that they were afraid, but a kind of unknown fear, they all thought that they were well-read people, but they found that they couldn't touch the emperor's thoughts at all!

The fear of the unknown is really the source of all human fears, once you know what you are afraid of, then no matter how big that fear is, it is limited!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was not particularly afraid, he came to the end, that is, he ran to the coal mountain and hanged himself. Anyway, I've been on it once, and I'm familiar with it again, which is why he hasn't let people cut down the crooked neck tree!

Zhou Yanru and Shi Kefa were both ignorant, but they probably knew a little bit what the emperor was going to say? Especially Shi Kefa, cold sweat broke out on his head, what the emperor said was the truth, but he didn't think about it in detail.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't care whether the two people understood, and further explained bluntly, "The finances of my Ming Dynasty were mainly based on agricultural taxes before Wanli. Zhang Juzheng's reform, on the other hand, focused on taxation, shifting the focus from the collection of agricultural taxes to the collection of industrial and commercial taxes. Naturally, this greatly touched the industrial and commercial interest groups in Jiangnan, and in this context, the Donglin Party began to take shape. As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, they abolished this tax system. If you want to evade taxes, it's not that easy! The Wanli Emperor knew that the continued collection of meager agricultural taxes would not only be insufficient for the treasury. And the peasants couldn't stand it either. Grandpa Huang still tried to collect taxes from the capitalists in Jiangnan. Since the Ministry of Accounts that manages the outer treasury does not accept excise tax. Only agricultural taxes are charged. The emperor's grandfather transferred the industrial and commercial taxes to the inner treasury. This is the so-called Wanli greed for money. In fact, the money used by the three major levies of Wanli is the industrial and commercial tax of the inner treasury. Tong guò court hit! Red Pill! Move the palace! The wonderful performance of the three cases, the Donglin Party finally took control of the government for the first time after the death of the emperor's grandfather. They immediately forced their father to abolish all kinds of industrial and commercial taxes. It fully exposes that the Donglin Party is not only ambitious in politics, but also in the economy, it is also a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said it bluntly enough, and there is no clear title of Donglin Party in this era! He's a rebuke! It is the most straightforward criticism!

Zhou Yanru and Shi Kefa are two people in the civil official group. must be inextricably linked with the Donglin Party group, and Shi Kefa is Zuo Guangdou's protégé!

The two of them knelt on the ground, frightened into a cold sweat, and it gradually became clear to them that the emperor's imperial party is not just a simple title, but has a very systematic theory behind it!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to the shocked appearance of the two people, stood up, and talked in high spirits, at this moment. He seems to be facing thousands of pedantic civil officials! "Da Ming is a big deal! Development across regions is extremely uneven. Jiangnan has developed industry and commerce, and there is almost no need to pay any taxes. The peasants in the northern provinces could not bear the high taxes. When encountering natural disasters, it is even more hungry. The war in Liaodong was tight, and the treasury was empty. What to do!? It was in this context that Wei Zhongxian appeared. That is, the eunuch party was formed! How do they do it? Of course, it is to find the Donglin Party to pay taxes. After a few years, the treasury began to be full again. Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall began to appear in various places. How can the Donglin Party sit still!? The death of the royal brother! It's the best chance. If I don't make a big plan for Jingcha! I'm going to be on the side of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party wants to kill Wei Zhongxian and then hurry up, and I want to consolidate the unstable government of the first Dabao! You have to stand with the Donglin Party! With this existential world! If the Donglin Party is in power again. Of course, the abolition of excise taxes is the first step they have to do. You say, 'Did I say something wrong?' Now do you know what the Imperial Party is all about? ”

Zhou Yanru and Shi Kefa were so frightened that they were covered in cold sweat, especially Shi Kefa, the emperor's exposition was too exciting! He didn't think about these things, he didn't understand economics and politics, he only knew who was loyal and patriotic, and who was worth following, and he didn't have a clear political proposition.

Or that he is as smart as Zhou Yanru, and he hasn't thought about these problems that the emperor said! It's so incisive! Daming Dejun is like this! What more could you ask for?

Zhou Yanru knocked his head three times! "Holy Monarch, please allow Weichen to bow down! Wechen completely understands what is going on with the imperial party, and we are confident that within five years, the imperial party will spread all over my Daming! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen lightly grateful, "You get up, don't talk big, pay attention to action, what I am most disgusted by is the person who runs the carriage on his lips." Shi Kefa, I want to listen to your opinions, if I am not by your side, there are people from Donglin, and those elders and uncles of yours are debating with you, can you explain clearly, the essence of my imperial party? Are you willing to give my imperial party and cultivate reserve talents? Are you willing to pull those students who stick to the routine and don't understand economics into the right path? ”

Shi Kefa nodded seriously, and kowtowed three times! "Your Majesty, Weichen really understands, and completely understands the emperor's hard work, I want to reform the system, and if I don't reform it, it will cause regrets for the ages! Weichen is willing to spend his life to do a good job for the emperor, and he is unswervingly committed in this life! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, he knew that Shi Kefa was not a man who slipped around and slapped horses, and was very satisfied with Shi Kefa's answer, "There is a realm!" Deeply in line with my intentions! Rise up, both of you! ”

Zhou Yanru glared at Shi Kefa, and said in his heart, have you figured it out? However, he was favored by Shi Kefa, and immediately felt unwilling, "Your Majesty, although Wechen thinks that your ideas are too advanced and are a pioneering act, Wechen also agrees with the emperor's opinion!" Daming needs to change, and it's time to change, Weichen is very unaccustomed to the twilight style of those old ministers, and even more unaccustomed to the habit of students who don't think about reality and like to sit and talk about Taoism. ”

Zhou Yanru felt the emperor's pulse a little, and he didn't completely pick up good words, and said something contrary, which would make the emperor feel that he had unique opinions.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded, he was really happy, he was not asking for the opinions of the two people, he just wanted to see the attitude of these two people, and see if they were suitable for the position he chose for them! He was pleased with the result! (To be continued......)
