Chapter 526: The Waves Rise Again (5)
Li Wenxuan, who was anxious in his heart and had a wry smile on his face, sighed for a while, and thought in his heart, if he has a good way, then what else can he discuss with you? It's just that there's no best of both worlds, so I'll talk to you and hopefully get some inspiration from it.
Lin Ruoxi, who touched his chin repeatedly with his left hand, was contemplative, could he not know his intentions? After thinking about it carefully, she was able to grasp the key point, that is, to solve the problem of this money. It is indeed more difficult to be able to get rid of the silver without harming the people, which is indeed more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Lin Ruoxi is not unclear, one is that the common people are easy to bully and clean up, just like sesame seeds, the more they squeeze the more oil comes out; the second is to be delicate, to raise people, to be a jinshi, etc., and a group of people have the privilege of reducing taxes in this and that way; The third is the general landlords, squires, and merchants...... It is entirely possible to pass on the taxes that have been imposed on their heads to the lower parts of the country. As for four, five, six...... Break it down below, and it's amazing and amazing. In a word, if the imperial court finally decides on this addition, the result will inevitably come down to the top of the heads of every ordinary person.
"This is not a long-term solution to constantly impose new taxes on the people, but to catch fish with all their might. Once the tipping point is reached, then they will rise up one after another. At that time, the world of the Ming Dynasty was probably not just as simple as external troubles. It would not be a blessing for our children to live in an era of war. Lin Ruoxi, who is not worried, naturally doesn't want to see the chaos in the world.
Li Wenxuan, who was still holding the tea in his hand, suddenly stood up and walked around the room with pacing steps. What her own woman said was completely true, after all, under the nest, there were eggs. Although he knows that the Ming Dynasty is going to perish. It will not be in the Jiajing period, but many historians have said that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Jiajing.
For this reason, Li Wenxuan did not show any attitude, after all, some people said that the Ming Dynasty actually died in Wanli, or party struggle. Wait a minute. As a minister of the society, the official is in a high position, even if he does not believe in the rule of eating the king and bearing the worries of the king, then he has to think about the people of the world and their descendants. Anyway, he is 100,000 unwilling to see the day when the historical situation of "keeping hair without hair, leaving head without hair" will appear.
"As far as the concubine knows, the annual cost in the palace is an astronomical amount. Inside the Forbidden City. But there are 100,000 people. A person only consumes ten taels of silver a year, which is also a million dollars. I've heard that every year the silver spent on fat powder in the palace alone is 100,000 taels. In addition, no temples are repaired, and no Taoist temples are built...... Together, you can save a lot of silver. Xianggong, why don't you suggest that Your Majesty save money in the palace today? In this way, a large sum of silver can be freed up for military supplies. It can also make today's history famous, after all, the Ming monarchs in history have made a difference in this and saved. Lin Ruoxi, who had a thought flashing out of his mind. It is a way to put forward a way not to hurt the people.
Li Wenxuan, who stood on his feet, turned sideways, looked at her sitting in the chair with his eyes, and lowered his voice expressionlessly: "Although your method is good, it is not practical. Today's majesty is really not a person who will withhold his own pleasure. If the husband really does what you propose, I'm afraid it will be a reverse dragon scale. If I propose that the Son of Heaven not build the temple. It's better, at most I'll die, and if you suggest that the Son of Heaven doesn't cultivate Taoism, it will be disrespectful, that is, contrary to the beliefs of His Majesty. I'm afraid that it will not be me alone who will die at that time, but everyone in our whole house, inside and outside, including your mother's family. You can not forget that the husband is not only a courtier, but also a Taoist priest. In doing so, I not only deny myself, but also dig my own pit to bury myself. I would rather offend some powerful people and royals, or even raid their homes, and then suffer revenge, than do that thing that directly seeks death. ”
Lin Ruoxi, who immediately fell back into contemplation, realized that this matter was really nerve-wracking. It doesn't work this way, it doesn't work that way. For a while, she was extremely intelligent, but she was helpless in the face of such a thorny problem. I can understand that Li Wenxuan doesn't want the people to bear another burden.
At the same time, in the face of such a predicament, Li Wenxuan's worst plan is that he will not be able to think of a more effective way in the end, and I am afraid that he will have to agree to increase taxes on the people. As for the matter of Xiangxi, my position is very happy to finally use the Huairou policy. Where the army goes, it only creates an atmosphere of urgency, surrounds but does not fight, and does not advocate extermination as soon as it comes up.
Among them, the tribes that can be pacified and pacified, then it is still the priority to do so. If you are stubborn and stubborn, and you have to make "independence", you can only completely eliminate it, after all, if you are still disobedient, you will be beaten, and if you don't listen, then you can only kill. Otherwise, do you really let each of them set up their own kings and fight against the court? This is impossible. If he really had to do that, he would be a fool and a fool, and he would isolate himself from the court.
Li Wenxuan suddenly felt that the light in the room had dimmed a lot, so he realized that it was not early. The attention of his eyes once again fell on Lin Ruoxi's big belly. He began to blame himself, he really shouldn't have told her this hurtful thing, after all, she should rest and raise the fetus well, and it is not easy to work hard.
"You don't have to worry about your husband. The mountain people have their own tricks. Li Wenxuan, who pretended to be relaxed, squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "It's not too early, I think it's better for us to go to bed early to rest." ”
Lin Ruoxi, who has a big belly, still wants to let the maids around him serve him for him, so that his brain can not think about it and relax, after all, the affairs of the court have already made him quite troubled. She was not in a hurry to get into bed, put her hands on the protruding belly, and said slowly: "Let's let this girl Lu'er serve the concubine for one night!" ”
Li Wenxuan, who really didn't have that interest tonight, still couldn't put down business in his mind to become a woman. He shook his head a little, and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, but my husband really doesn't want to do sports in bed." You can rest assured, I sleep honestly, and I won't press your stomach. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was so insistent, it was not easy to persuade him more, so he nodded to him and agreed. (To be continued......)
