"Shousuke, this is going to fight with us?" Liang Qiu sneered: "Now that the matter of business and taxation is spreading vigorously, this official wants to know whether this news is from the cabinet or from the palace!"

"Is there a difference?"

Liang Qiu said angrily: "Of course there is a difference, if it is news from the palace, it means that His Majesty has not yet made a firm determination to change the business tax, so he released a rumor to test the tone of the ministers, then as long as the Manchu Dynasty is concentric, His Majesty will naturally not go against the trend, but if it is a ...... from the cabinet"

"How?" Yang Tinghe smiled, of course, this rumor was spread by the cabinet, the emperor's intention to reform commercial taxes is very strong, and it is almost impossible to be changed, so the cabinet is actually a temptation.

"If the cabinet did it, it means that the cabinet elders have already compromised with Your Majesty!"

Yang Tinghe is silent and uncompromising, this court does not know what kind of monstrous storm it is going to set off, and then the prime minister and the imperial power will fight to the death, if the cabinet is defeated, I am afraid that the civil official group will be in Jiajing Dynasty, and there will be no future.

It's a pity that the foreign dynasty only values immediate interests, but how can it appreciate the cabinet's good intentions.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you can't seek your own government, the foreign dynasty has the interests of the foreign dynasty, and the cabinet has the political considerations of the cabinet, and the courtiers headed by Liang Qiu don't understand, and Yang Tinghe doesn't think it's strange.

"The Cabinet has done its best." Yang Tinghe sighed, feeling that the whole person seemed to be a little old because of these words.

The meaning of the words is already very clear, the reform of commercial taxation is indeed not groundless, and His Majesty has already made up his mind, and the cabinet finally chose to compromise in the face of the will of the Son of Heaven.

Liang Qiu took a breath and said in a deep voice: "The commercial tax reform is a big matter, and it involves a wide range of things, and Shoufu must know it."

"Of course Bensuke knows!" Facing the aggressive Liang Qiu, Yang Tinghe also rose up with anger, and even told the conversation about commercial taxes in the imperial study.

Several bigwigs who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt were involuntarily silent, and the question of the Son of Heaven can actually be summed up in a few points, what is the purpose of your opposition to commercial taxation? Is it selfish, is it willing to run a deficit in the national fiscal year after year, rather than let the rich and unkind big businessmen pay the taxes that should be paid?

In addition, why the Great Song Dynasty is rich is because of the heavy taxation of commercial taxes, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty can agree with why the Ming Dynasty can't?

Is it because the officials of the Ming Dynasty have made a lot of personal gains in business, so they would rather harm the country than enrich themselves?

There is also the Great Song Dynasty that allows officials to directly do business in their names, that is, officials and businessmen, but the Ming Dynasty does not allow it, since the Ming Dynasty has no officials and businessmen, what is the fundamental purpose of officials opposing the extraction of commercial taxes?

All the questions converged into one focus, that is, what reason did the ministers have to oppose, and it could even be said that as long as they objected, they wanted to seek their own interests, and did not want the country to be rich!

Liang Qiu and the others finally understood the difficulties of the cabinet, the more senior officials cherished their feathers, and their ambitions were the same, that is, they didn't want to leave a stain on themselves, which would affect their reputation.

And the middle-level officials are not very worried, but they are soft-spoken, and in the capital, a place where bigwigs gather, the weight of their words is negligible.

As for the respected and powerful speech officials, they can indeed bite like mad dogs, but there is a very important premise that they must have the support of the emperor, and without the support of the emperor, the speech officials can only hehe.

Yang Tinghe is now throwing the cabinet's problems to Liang Qiu, asking him to consider whether he should bear the notoriety to fight the emperor, if he dares, the cabinet is willing to retreat to the second best thing and cheer for him.

Now there is only one thing in front of Liang Qiu, you can oppose commercial taxation, but how to take yourself out, so that everyone believes that you are not a victim of commercial tax reform, if you can do this, then the basis for your refutation can stand, if not, with today's means, even if the civil official has mastered the pen, he can nail you to the pillar of shame in history, and you will never be able to turn over.

The expression on Liang Qiu's face was uncertain, obviously weighing, Yang Tinghe felt that the time was almost up, so he smiled bitterly: "The cabinet has been fighting with Your Majesty in the imperial study for more than an hour, although it can't make Your Majesty change his mind about reforming commercial taxes, but he still won some practical benefits for officials in the world."

Liang Qiu frowned and said, "I would like to hear about it."

Yang Tinghe told Zhu Houwei about raising the salary of officials, but Zhu Houwei proposed to raise the salary and maintain honesty with high salaries, and it was also a sweet date thrown to the officials, but in Yang Tinghe's mouth, it has become the credit of the cabinet.

Obviously, Yang Tinghe said this in order to appease the courtiers' grievances against the cabinet, and to be able to achieve such a high position as the cabinet ministers, there are a few incompetent people, and their hearts are black one by one.

Business tax, mention, Liang Qiu's mouth sneered, and it was another trade-off.

Whether the promotion was the result of a cabinet protest or the emperor's promise of compensation to officials, one thing is certain.

The Son of Heaven's determination to reform the commercial tax has been unshakable, and he would rather spend millions of taels more every year than relevant the commercial tax!

This model is very similar to the Great Song Dynasty.

"What else does Lord Liang have planned?" Yang Tinghe asked with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a sense of relief on his face after throwing the problem out.

Liang Qiu snorted coldly: "The first assistant is busy with official business, so this official will not bother." After speaking, he arched his hand and flashed directly.

Liang Qiu left, and the rest of the important ministers would not stay, and left one after another.

Yang Tinghe shook his head with a wry smile, His Majesty's methods are too spicy, using commercial taxes to force the ministers to choose private interests or national interests, such a big hat cabinet can't bear it, but the courtiers can bear it?

If you can't bear it, you can only compromise, otherwise you will risk ruining your reputation, and the risk is too great, so you can only give in.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's reform of commercial tax is already a certainty, and there is no room for maneuver, as for those officials who have suffered more damage in the process of changing commercial tax, without the endorsement of the big guy, they can only admit it!

In fact, Yang Tinghe didn't care too much about commercial taxation, and the reform of commercial taxation would certainly damage the interests of officials, but it was not unbearable, otherwise even if the emperor wanted to succeed, it would not be so easy.

Yang Tinghe is worried about Daotong!

Although the Son of Heaven wanted to promote learning, saying that Confucianism was the mainstay, supplemented by miscellaneous studies, he once carefully analyzed the Yongwangfu School and came to the conclusion that Confucianism is not valued at all today.

So is the Son of Heaven avoiding the important and trying to help miscellaneous scholars come out to fight against Confucianism?

Although this possibility is not too great, it is by no means impossible, if the Son of Heaven really has this meaning, how can Confucianism respond!

Yang Tinghe's head hurt a little, and uneasiness filled his whole mind......
