Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to lie, nor did he dare to tell the truth, showing an expression of thinking with his head down.

"I told you the truth, and prevaricated me with this look!" Zhu Qizhen straightened his face.

"Don't be angry, the younger brother is really stupid, I don't know what is wrong in this world." Zhu Qiyu still said so.

"My commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty is not like the Song Dynasty, where residential tax and tax are collected separately, and there is no tax increase at all levels.

From the great grandfather to the present, it has only added a market tax and banknote tariff.

As for the door tax, it is only collected when entering Beijing, and the thirty tax is also regarded as a light tax in all dynasties. Zhu Qizhen said slowly.

Zhu Qiyu naturally knows this, "What the imperial brother said is extremely true, since the Taizu Taizong Dynasty in our dynasty, the collection of commercial taxes has been simple and light.

Moreover, whether it is the grandfather or the grandfather, the grandfather of benevolence, and the first emperor during their reigns, they often send people to secretly investigate, but anyone who finds private tax items will be severely punished. ”

"This tax is a money word, it has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the country, there are more and more courtiers in the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more official gentry families, and there are more and more people who do not pay taxes.

Even the vassal kings in various places occupy a large area of fertile land, and the imperial court still has to give them a fortune, how can the imperial court bear this burden for a long time? Zhu Qizhen asked again.

But when it comes to the vassal king, it involves Zhu Qiyu himself, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Qizhen naturally knew it, but today he said that it was difficult to make money, and that the clan cost a lot, so he just gave Zhu Qiyu what he could hear, "What?" This involves himself, Qi Yu doesn't dare to answer? ”

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly raised his head, "Although Qi Yu is stupid, he also knows that the community is important, and the younger brother is willing to give up the fiefdom after taking up the domain, give up the fortune, and fend for himself." ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't speak in a hurry, and slowly sat on the bed, Zhu Qiyu didn't stand dry, and ran over to put a cushion on Zhu Qizhen's back.

"Sit down, you and my brother, and don't let it be so restrained." Zhu Qizhen pointed to the bed.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu sitting down, Zhu Qizhen slowly spoke: "Qi Yu, what do you think of becoming the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty for your descendants?" ”

Zhu Qiyu wanted to open his mouth to answer, but looking at Zhu Qizhen's gaze, he sank down again and began to silently think about the meaning of Zhu Qizhen's words.

"My brother doesn't know." After a long time, Zhu Qiyu still had no clue to say.

"Qi Yu, Taizu's rule is to let his son-in-law inherit the throne, and the rest of the people inherit the throne of the county king, and then reduce it in turn, what is the final result?" Zhu Qizhen is kind and seductive.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, and he replied suddenly: "Every time a child of the clan is born, no matter how low the title is, the imperial court will also give a lifelong pension, and in the long run, the Ming finances will be unbearable." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Not only that, but after a few generations, these

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Although the lifelong years can ensure the life of the children of the clan to a certain extent, it is only enough to make ends meet.

It's impossible to say that there is no comfort in the life of an ordinary person, think about Liu Bei, a dignified family, and then go straight to a business selling straw shoes, even if it is far away, our ancestors will not be happy no matter how they think about it, right? ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded with deep feelings, "What the imperial brother said is that the younger brother also thinks that this is inappropriate, the imperial brother is destined for heaven, and he is wise and martial, does he already have a countermeasure?" ”

Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhu Qiyu had not taken the initiative to offer advice, and knew that he was still afraid that Zhu Qizhen would not approve of what he said, so he no longer sold Guanzi.

"Qi Yu, I think that in the future, the kings will no longer be divided, but so that all the people of the clan can participate in the government on an equal footing.

Of course, not as a royal family, but to participate in the imperial examination or martial arts.

There are no longer restrictions on the behavior of the clan, whether it is to do business or farm, what do you think? Zhu Qizhen spoke slowly.

"Will this cause dissatisfaction among the children of the clan?" Zhu Qiyu was worried in his heart, and he was afraid that he would have no support in the future.

"Qi Yu rest assured, I will definitely not be one-size-fits-all, only those clans below the auxiliary generals who want to enter the court as officials, or concentrate on business operators, can ask to give up their years."

Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Qiyu's face, "Qi Yu, you don't have to worry, if you still want to be a feudal lord, then you can choose a place you like in the world."

We are the only two sons of my father, and I will support you no matter what you decide. ”

"Brother Huang!" Zhu Qiyu was a little eager to explain one or two, but in the end, there was no one, two, or three.

"If you want to make a career, then I have your back, and there is no suitable person for a famous thing in history.

If you are willing, it is not impossible for you to surpass me. Zhu Qizhen finally led the topic to his ultimate goal.

The clan troubles just now are just a strategy that will be gradually implemented in the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to open the sea.

Zhu Qiyu listened to the obvious expression, although he had a few hints before, he still didn't know Zhu Qizhen's true intentions, and he was afraid that it was a tentative speech.

"I won't hide it from you, now that the fiscal deficit is in place, the imperial court has no extra money to improve people's livelihood, I want to follow the example of Taizong and the first emperor, send an envoy to the West, and take out our Ming Dynasty's porcelain, tea, and silk in exchange for real money and silver from foreign domains." Zhu Qizhen said.

Zhu Qiyu raised his head suddenly, and looked at his imperial brother in disbelief, "Imperial brother, the matter of going to sea has been stopped for more than ten years, and you want to open the sea now?" But where did such a large sum of money come from? I'm afraid the courtiers won't agree to ......"

"It's not that more than 100 crimes have just been committed today, and the resistance is naturally much smaller.

And in the Codex of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, I saw a magical continent on the other side of the world.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It is full of crops with a yield of dozens of stones per mu, as long as they are brought over, my people will no longer have to worry about their livelihood! Zhu Qizhen said with longing.

"Is what the royal brother said true? The minister's brother lost his words, but this kind of magical crop is beyond the cognition of the minister's brother, it is simply incredible.

If there is such a thing, why didn't the Three Treasure Eunuchs bring it back at that time? ”

After Zhu Qiyu calmed down, he always felt that what Zhu Qizhen said was unreliable, how could he be a prince, and he had never heard of such a legend.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened, and the emperor appeared majestic: "Will I deceive you?" All I have to ask now is if you would like to go to the West on my behalf! ”

Zhu Qizhen, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating, panicked, and even asked Zhu Qiyu with righteous words.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to find him for this reason, "However, my brother and the nursing home have to be managed, I'm afraid I don't have more energy for the voyage." ”

Hearing Zhu Qiyu say this, Zhu Qizhen understood what his younger brother meant, "It seems that Qi Yu doesn't want to go to sea, so forget it, I will find a suitable candidate." It's always hard to hide the disappointment in his tone.

"No, no, no, I don't want to, it's just ...... Alas, the sea is unpredictable, it will be a few years, the mother is old, and the younger brother is really afraid of what happens, and the younger brother is really in vain as a son of man. ”

"It turned out to be because of the concubine, but I was negligent, so ......"

"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." Kim Young interrupted the brothers' conversation.

Zhu Qizhen was a little surprised, since the two of them were a little unhappy because Queen Yang Caiwei came once.

Qian Jinluan has not seen himself again these days except for inquiring about his physical condition.

Today's sudden visit, after he reprimanded the courtiers, had to make Zhu Qizhen think about something.

"Please." Zhu Qizhen thought in his heart, but he would not refuse the queen's visit because of this.

"Then the subordinate brother will retire first." Zhu Qiyu said a word and retreated outside the door, and happened to meet Queen Qian, "Imperial sister-in-law Wan'an!" ”

"His Royal Highness!" Qian Jinluan greeted the courtesy.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Qiyu, who was a little flustered, although he was a little disappointed, he was not angry, and explained: "Qi Yu, remember to go to the concubine to sit down, if you don't want to go back to the house today, just live in the palace." ”

When Zhu Qiyu completely disappeared into the Qianqing Palace, Empress Qian finally spoke: "Emperor Sheng'an!" The concubine heard that you have a headache for a while, so she specially prepared some incense to calm your mind and send it to you. ”

As she spoke, Yan Ning behind Queen Qian came up with a tray, and although the black-brown incense sticks on it were still far away from Zhu Qizhen, she could still smell the refreshing fragrance.
