Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Those who do business in the capital do not find a backer and take refuge in the past to escape the taxes of the imperial court. As soon as Zheng Guobao's invincible brigade came out, all the traders in the capital were unlucky, and those who took refuge in Xungui were okay. Zheng Guobao gave face to the martial arts nobles and eunuchs, and did not touch them. However, the merchants who took refuge in the civil government were all unlucky, and the money that should be paid could not be less, and after they took refuge, the boss failed to protect themselves, and the merchants naturally complained more.

Not to mention, Wanli had recruited Zheng Guobao to ask the right question. Because it is a question and answer with relatives, and there are not so many scruples, Zheng Guobao clearly said that the disadvantages of my Ming are not that the soldiers are unusable, not that the equipment is not refined, and that the city is not solid. It is because of the lack of money and food, and because the government decree is not implemented. And if you want to have enough money and food, you have to gather wool. To gather wool, one is a civil official, the second is a gentry, and the third is a salt merchant. The wool of these three families will be enough for the Ming Dynasty to be sufficient, and it will not be burdened by money and grain. The other is to divide the land into the mu, the fire consumption should be returned to the public, and the tax must be even, and the north should not be heavy and the south should not be lightened.

If the court has money, it will not be afraid of expenses, and it will be able to manufacture a large number of fast guns and heavy armor, and it will also be able to ensure the military salaries of the border army without a shortage. And those who are soldiers have military salaries, and they have the spirit of fighting, and they are all thieves and women, all of whom are not in their eyes, and at that time they will naturally be able to protect the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years.

Moreover, today's court said yes, and there will be a cadre waiting to come out to say wrong. The court said no, and this person came out to say it. Pointing fingers, slandering and bullying the king. Although there are a thousand words in his mouth, there is no plan in his chest, he only knows how to destroy, he does not know how to build, he only knows how to oppose it, but he has no charter. It seems that these people will one day benefit me in the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Zheng Guobao said these things is that after he crossed over, he also appeared, and this Da Ming is not exactly the same as the Da Ming he knows.

For example, the flint spear, which the traverser regarded as a big killer, was completely capable of making zuò in the Ming Dynasty, but it was limited by cost and limited production. In the Jiliao defense line, there is still a Lingbao, as for the spear phalanx, etc., it is an ordinary skill practiced by local soldiers and soldiers, and they can't be used. If you use this as a magic weapon, then it is purely for yourself to find a face.

Moreover, this sea ban, according to the original history, although there was a Longqing switch, but after his death, the imperial court did not care much about sea trade, and cheapened the maritime merchants in vain. But now the Ming Dynasty Yuegang City Bosi is open as usual, and it is still a first-class money-making yamen.

As for potatoes, corn, and white potatoes, these big killer-like things are not difficult to see in Daming. It's just that these things are not as magical as imagined, and the yield is not so high. As soon as several common passages were blocked, all he could think of was collecting taxes and collecting power.

He was very favored by his brother-in-law Wanli, who was a fan of wealth, and Uncle Lang was very compatible, but unexpectedly, the news was leaked out, and the benevolent gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty immediately blew up the camp, and they all hated Zheng Guobao to the bone. Tax? Don't you know that when you collect taxes, you are making us take money out of our pockets?

Later, as soon as the invincible brigade came out, these civilian officials knew that those words were not just for fun. There were even a few low-mouthed officials, who were impeached in this book, but were beaten to death by the court staff of the Han general. The homes of those famous thorny civil officials also sent brocade guards, saying that they were to protect security. But no one is happy that anyone who lives in a group of brocade-clothed soldiers with hateful faces and vulgar manners!

As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial means is like killing parents. Zheng Guobao's hands were stained with the blood of his civilian parents, and he had countless enmities that killed his parents, how could he let go of this blood debt? Therefore, these gentlemen who read poetry and books, know etiquette well, and have the best character in the Ming Dynasty all want to eat Zheng Guobao and sleep on the skin to relieve the hatred in their hearts. If it weren't for the lack of Yang Sheng'an and other leading figures, I am afraid that I would have followed the example of Sage Kong and Zhu Shaozhengmao long ago. How can I let go of this opportunity? Directly compared Zheng Guobao to Wantong, Jiang Bin, and asked the Son of Heaven to be strict.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine is also very powerful, her youngest son Zhu Changzhi has just died, and her health and mood are not very good. Catching up with this matter again will make it even worse. simply used the temperament of a little woman, cried, ripped the green silk and scratched the hibiscus face, knelt down and begged the emperor to get rid of him, taking advantage of the wishes of the foreign ministers. Emperor Wanli couldn't smell the roar of the lion in Hedong, so he had to bow down and be small, so that he could coax his concubine to laugh a little, and a stone in his heart could be considered to land.

As for the Songshan faction's surprise attack on Hengshan, Concubine Zheng Guifei said casually: "What is the foundation of the Zhensong army, long live and I don't know, I must be poor and ruthless, and I want to make a windfall." My cousin has disturbed a good thing, and he will come to bite him, and if he believes them, our family will be demons who collude with the Demon Sect. Kill quickly, lest you disturb the court. ”

Wanli had to accompany him to say good things again and coax Concubine Ai to be happy. He had just been beaten by his mother, and Empress Dowager Li had never been pleasing to the eye when she looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei, and she was naturally unpleasant to see Zheng Guobao, so she asked the emperor to deal with it strictly and make an example of her. But now Wanli has long been pro-government, and he is a little unhappy when he is pointed at by his mother. He was also beaten by the lady, like a rat in a bellows, which made the lord of all peoples very aggrieved.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the word kicking cat effect, it was possible to find someone weaker than himself to sprinkle fire, and Wanli still had this instinct. The cat he was looking for was Zhang Whale, the governor of Dongchang. first called Zhang Whale to scold him for his head and face, and then hated Zhen Songjun again, if it weren't for these people who didn't change their nature to fight for tickets, could they make me feel angry? First of all, we must send Yu Shi to check whether these people have changed their minds and become new people.

Speaking of the foundation of the Song army in this town, it was originally a group of generals, and the leader Wang Tianzong was born as a monk and soldier of Yunyan Temple in Funiu Mountain. In addition, Henan and Shaanxi were plagued by disasters and famines, and many of the land in Henan were Buddha fields that could not be taxed, while most of the land in Shaanxi was the land of the minister's family and could not be taxed. There was also a conscientious civil servant in the court, saying that the taxes in the south were too heavy and begging for relief. However, the total income of the imperial court was certain, and the taxes of the south were exempted, so they had to be sent to the north.

Since the Buddha fields could not collect taxes, the gentry could not collect them, so they had to add taxes to the people's fields, causing a large number of yeoman farmers to go bankrupt. Many people are desperate, either pull the pole to do the general, or go up the mountain to throw the pole, and the knife is related to join, and the noisy Henan Province is full of smoke, and there are countless large and small poles. Even the officials of the imperial court did not dare to go to the countryside at will.

Later, the imperial court made a special expedition to recruit a large army to suppress the bandits, and killed the pole with heavy casualties. Countless heroes were put on the guillotine and stabbed. Seeing that these generals were about to be swept into the garbage heap and humanely destroyed, at this moment, another civil official came out. It is said that the killing of the imperial court is too heavy, and there are frequent natural disasters that hurt the heavens and lead to natural disasters, and it should also be appeased.

It happened that there were several earthquakes at that time, and according to the logic of heaven and man induction at that time, this earthquake was the emperor's sin, and he had to issue an edict to himself and review his own mistakes. If the literati of the Ming Dynasty knew about the disaster in Citigroup in later generations, Comrade Guanhai would have been scolded as a heinous king. Emperor Wanli couldn't resist the mouths of the civil officials, so he had to send someone down to recruit him.

Those generals have already reached the point of exhaustion, and if they continue to fight, the whole army will be wiped out. Therefore, they have changed their courts, changed their bodies, and changed from green forests to court officials.

However, the Zhensong army at the head of these two battalions has always been short of money and food, and most of the food and salary are supplemented by local self-raising, so they have to do some things like traitors. Now that this investigation is conducted, I am afraid that this team will also live to the end. Due to the stable situation in the DPRK at that time, no one thought that the investigation of the Zhensong army would cause much chaos due to the stability of the internal situation in the DPRK, whether it was Wanli or a minister of the DPRK, and they didn't care too much about this matter, thinking that the left and right were a gang of robbers, what else could they do? Don't you want to rub it flat, and if you want to knead it, you can knead it?

Although Zheng Guobao's matter has temporarily subsided, Zheng Niangniang knows in her heart that this matter is not over. If Liu Zhengfeng falls into the hands of the Songshan faction, is tortured and confesses, and admits that he is a demon of the Demon Sect, then his cousin marries his daughter, and he still can't get rid of the suspicion of colluding with the Demon Sect. Although this suspicion will not really kill his cousin, he wants to compete for the queen, his son wants to be the prince, and his cousin needs a strong in-law, and these do not allow the cousin to have a relationship with the Demon Sect.
