And these political affairs that make Chongzhen undecidable are really nerve-wracking, such as household registration reform, Daming's household registration and occupation are linked to the ancestral succession system, your grandfather is a soldier to you, your son, grandson have to be a soldier, the same way, bricklayers, cement masons are the same.

But since Lu Wang took over the military power of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing was to abolish the military household system, and it is gradually changing in the direction of voluntary conscription, and it is clear that now Chongzhen accepts his proposal and also moves the knife in other places, but the determination and experience are lacking.

Hukou reform is a big deal for the imperial court, for Lu Wang, a later generation of travelers, can almost be quite one-size-fits-all, only need a national census, cancel those originally cumbersome and complicated restrictions, according to the later generations of urban residents can be divided, the only brain-burning is the division of various welfare benefits, such as what kind of medical insurance urban hukou enjoys, and what kind of welfare ratio rural hukou enjoys.

The second thing that makes Chongzhen a headache is still the tax problem, although Lu Wang proposed to increase the commercial tax and regulate the commercial market, but obviously the imperial court did not support Lu Wang's proposal to exempt many places from agricultural tax, for example, Chongzhen only planned to exempt the grain tax of the three northwest provinces plus Shandong and Henan for two years, and the other provinces were not mistaken.

"This is nonsense, what Daming needs most now is to recuperate" Lu Wang snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and glanced at Zhu Yingying, "Help me reply to the emperor and show my attitude, the entire territory of Daming will be exempted from agricultural taxes for three years!" ”

Zhu Yingying, who was originally admiring her sweetheart's pretending to be forced, was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Wang's words, and then her brows furrowed: "The prince has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Oh, Lu Wang became interested, looked at Zhu Yingying and smiled slightly: "But it has something to do with this tax, you can talk about it."

"Taxation is the foundation of the country...... I have heard for a long time that the treasury is empty, so let alone anything else, even those officials can't afford to pay their money......" Zhu Yingying said lightly.

Lu Wang listened to her quietly with a smile on his face, until Zhu Yingying finished speaking in one breath and then smiled: "The reform of the Ming Dynasty is not just to dig a corn, but to use a knife all over the body."

"I want to hear it in detail" Zhu Yingying said!

Lu Wang smiled slightly and said, "But you can't hurt the root with a knife." The root of what you are talking about is the country's finances, I mean the people's livelihood, everything must have gains and losses, but no matter what, I can't lose the people's livelihood, reform is a chain reaction, not to mention that if you want to use so many knives, someone will inevitably have to suffer some losses, and the exemption of agricultural taxes can support the people, but I will not let those officials starve."

"Then the prince has other methods", Zhu Yingying looked at Lu Wang intently: "Could it be that all those fortunes are made by you, the prince?" Yes, people say that the prince is a god descending to earth. You can turn stones into gold, and you can be rich enough to rival the country......"

"People can't be trusted" Lu Wang laughed: "Even if I have money, it is impossible to help the emperor pay his salary, the current state financial expenditure, in addition to military expenses, is the official Yulu is the majority, the others are very few, I have already taken over the military expenses, I am not willing to resist the burden of those Yulu, you see the letter written by the emperor to me, the first is to sincerely ask for advice." The second one is actually to give me the burden, but this king doesn't want him to do this."

"Officials are also human beings, they always have to eat, they always have to support their families. The treasury is empty, and the prince does not produce any silver, but also needs to be exempt from taxes throughout the country...... That, that. There has to be another way! Zhu Yingying frowned, this smart girl couldn't think of any way.

Lu Wang stood up, picked up the kettle on the stove and added hot water to Zhu Yingying; "There are more ways to do it. Raise the commercial tax, which is enough to pay wages, or else throw this burden on the local government and pay for it by the local treasury."

"That's ......," Zhu Yingying was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Wang.

"You want to say that there are no taxes, and the local government has no revenue, right? In addition to the commercial tax just mentioned, the tax on local temple property, and the taxation of princes and princes in various places, these are all real local tyrants, and the tax levied randomly every year is enough for the Ming Dynasty to support his family and make a fortune."

Zhu Yingying's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she nodded again: "If you don't pay for military expenses, it's indeed enough!" It's just that those princely and wealthy families will be a little unhappy."

"Yes" Lu Wang sighed lightly: "I have resisted the largest financial expenditure, and what Daming has to do in three years is just to earn interest and support the people!" As for those princes who are unhappy, what does it matter if they are unhappy, they have been eating and drinking for nothing for hundreds of years, how can they drop the silver...... Come and help me get back to me."

In the early morning, the humidity is very heavy, there is no fragrance of flowers but there is bird song, there is a faint mist floating in the mountains, in an open space in front of the small courtyard, Lu Wang is swinging a Tai Chi posture is slowly turning, and a guard next to him is whispering something, and this is to guide him to practice martial arts.

Although he slept very late last night, Lu Wang got up very early, don't think too much, Xiao Lu didn't do anything bad last night, and the stack of military intelligence reports made him busy for most of the night, where is he still in the mood to go to the house, besides, the little Zhu girl may not be willing to talk to him in this broken temple, so this product finally gave up and concentrated on business, and the two talked about it late at night.

"Lord Wang, you are going to Nanjing in a while, are you still going to the city? And this rebuilding of the temple......" Nanyan stood not far away and asked in a low voice.

Lu Wang kept his eyes closed, holding a posture, and the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard the words: "You don't need to meddle in this matter, I have handed it over to Yingying, she is fully responsible, you just need to try your best to cooperate with her."

"Well, the little county lord is in charge of this?" Nan Yan was stunned.

"What, do you have an opinion?" Rwan's eyes opened slightly.

"Don't dare, subordinates don't dare" Nan Yan panicked.

"This king stayed up all night last night, read so many military newspapers, and found that the little county lord was very thoughtful," Lu Wang said and coughed lightly, stopped moving, and a personal guard next to him hurriedly handed over a glass ......of water.

After taking a few sips of water, Lu Wang glanced up at Nan Yan: "I know that you are curious to death about things related to the reconstruction of the temple" said and smiled slightly: "But I won't tell you"

Nanyang nodded lightly, and Lu Wang didn't say again: "You don't need to get to the bottom of many things, just do what you are doing."

"It's the prince," Nan Yan clenched his fists and lowered his waist.

"Give an order to the people in the military affairs department, Zuo Liangyu's road in Henan is almost finished, and the manpower is not so much, take advantage of the drought year to take advantage of the Yellow River to rest and recuperate......," Lu Wang said lightly.

At noon, on the shore of West Lake.

In the heavily guarded base camp of the Lu family, on the north shore of West Lake, Zhu Yingying stood with her hands tied, looking at the sky in the distance. There were two tear streaks on his face, and the helicopter in the sky was getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

"Little county lord, it's windy outside, let's go into the room and rest." Nan Yan, who was not far behind him, whispered, and motioned to several of Zhu Yingying's maids to hurry up and persuade their masters.

"Mr. Nan, you are busy with important matters, please take care of it first, I want to be here for a while, by the way, please inform the shopkeeper Du in the city to come, and my two uncles." There's something to discuss."

"Okay, the county lord please", Nan Yan nodded, turned around and left, thinking about it mentally, it seems that the matter of the prince repairing the temple not only let Zhu Yingying take power, but also let Du San interfere.

"County Lord, are you really not going to enter the room?" A maid took a cloak and put it on Zhu Yingying, and asked softly.

"No," Zhu Yingying gently moved her steps and walked by the lake. However, her eyebrows have been lightly raised, and sometimes she can't help but show joy, saying that although she came to Hangzhou this time was ostensibly sent by Tang Wang, it was not what she wanted.

But he never imagined that this time he would come to meet his lover would be such a result. I thought that at most, I would be at most sorry for me and me, but I didn't expect that I would instantly become Rwan's right-hand man and be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. And it's very confidential.

"Yingying, I can tell you what Nan Yan wants to know but has never been able to know, the silver for the reconstruction of Lingshan Temple came from those collaborating merchants in Shanxi. There is also the reconstruction of the temple, and all the original stones and wood in the mountain must be collected and replaced, and the underground palace will be dug up when the construction starts......"

Lu Wang's heart-to-heart words made Zhu Yingying understand why Lu Wang was willing to spend money to rebuild the temple, and also knew that Lu Wang was more greedy than on the surface in this transaction, but she could understand Lu Wang's greed, of course, even if she couldn't understand it, she would accept it, after all, such a confidential matter couldn't even be known to Nan Yan, and Lu Wang actually told her, this relationship is a bargain.

Of course, it is absolutely incompetent to support this major event with Zhu Yingying, a pampered daughter county lord who lives deep within the high walls, but this is not important, Lu Wang will naturally arrange a good person, that is, Du San, the chief shopkeeper of the Lu family shop in Hangzhou City.

Du San has followed Lu Wang step by step from a junior in an inn to his current position, and his interpersonal relationships in Hangzhou City are all over the world, and he is even more exquisite, even if his experience is still insufficient, but Lu Wang still has a backhand, that is, Zhu Yingying's backstage.

Everyone knows that Zhu Yuyi wants to hug Lu Wang's thigh, not to mention Lu Wang's life-saving grace to his Tang King in Nanyang, he is Lu Wang's brainless fan, not to mention asking for his daughter, if he wants his wife, he will not hesitate to send it over in person.

However, this brainless fan is still a little sensible, that is, I still remember the rules of the ancestral system, the vassal king is not allowed to go out of the fief at will, although last time because Lu Wang held a conference in Hangzhou, Chongzhen issued a holy decree to allow them to go out of the fief, and the court is also ready to issue an edict to break the rule, but after all, the official holy decree has not been issued, and he still does not dare to go out of the fief at will.

But the matter of sending his daughter to Hangzhou City, which is thousands of miles away, cannot be handed over to others at will, don't worry, don't forget, he has several brothers in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to Zhu Yujian under the command of Lu Wang, Zhu Yingying also has two uncles, and these two uncles have been doing business with Lu Wang, and the Lu family commercial building is a cooperative relationship, in current words, it is the general agent of Henan.

However, these two are also in Hangzhou now, needless to say that they came here to stock up on goods for sea trade, how to say that they are also wealthy aristocrats, and when they came to Hangzhou, they first smashed a sum of money to book a villa developed by the Lu family in West Lake, and then smashed a large mansion in Hangzhou City as a base.

In other words, Zhu Yingying really followed these two uncles to Hangzhou, but as soon as she arrived in the land, she was fooled by Nanyan into burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the mountains, and wanted to cheat a huge amount of money, but the little girl's private money was not much, and the only belongings of more than 500 taels were all taken away by the southern scammers, and the five hundred taels were not decimals.

Zhu Yuyi, Zhu Yuying, these two uncles of Zhu Yingying have also been short-lived princes in history, of course, before they became princes, they were all local tyrants with a lot of wealth, regardless of human sophistication or various Taoism is not something that Du San can compare, there are these two masters standing behind Zhu Yingying, the project of rebuilding a temple, it is completely the grandson monkey in the hands of the Buddha, how to hold it.

"I wonder when I'll have to wait for the next time I see him?" Zhu Yingying looked at the lake and sighed.

"Little county lord, the prince has just left on his front feet...... a little maid chuckled: "Didn't the prince say it, he went to the north and will come back soon!" ”

"Soon, soon, when he was in Nanyang, he also said that it was very fast, but he only saw each other for half a year, and it was only a day...... "Zhu Yingying smiled bitterly and sighed, but soon clenched her fists vigorously: "I will try to do what he explained well!" ”

"Little county lord, you must be able to!"

Several maids followed behind to cheer, and a cheerful smile finally appeared on the originally gloomy Zhu Yingying's face.
