And in the Imperial Prison in the capital.

In a cell, it has changed from what it used to be, dark and damp?

Dark?

After Zhu Youzhen's reminder, the environment of the edict at this moment is much better than before, and the main reason for such a change is.

Make money.

Wei Zhongxian in order to squeeze more oil and water out of the hands of these guys.

Do not hesitate to renovate the edict to provide different levels of comfort, and want a good room?

Spend money.

A room for six people costs 100 taels a day.

Quadruple room 200 taels a day.

As long as the adults have money, there are 1000 taels of single rooms a day, not only that, but you can also order food, and even the eight major cuisines of the famous Juxian Building in the capital outside can be seen here.

"Lord Wang, why did you come in too?"

Hearing this, the man also smiled bitterly, who could not know who?

"Lord Liu, who doesn't know that most of the officials in the capital have gone to prison except for those in the Qingshui Yamen."

"Tell me, what kind of world is this... Alas"

Since Donglin was suppressed, these people have tried their best to build relationships with the royal nobles who they originally looked down on, and they went through the back door, and the relationship network has just begun to sprout.

Unexpectedly, Dongchang Fanzi ignored any threats and went directly to the door to raid the house, and it was very different from the last investigation.

Then this time it is to queue up one by one, and turn over one by one.

If you don't listen to the explanation, you can take away what you can take, and if you can't take it away, you will directly post the notice at the gate.

Under the guidance of Zhu Youzhen, he innovatively created the seal.

Not only that, but the property auction has also started the new thing, but it is still in the warm-up stage, but everyone knows it.

The edict is good to get in and out, it's all here.

It's hard to go out again, and you can't tell how many old houses will be auctioned off by then.

As soon as the news came out.

The teeth of the whole capital felt that the opportunity had come.

To say that this tooth shop is similar to the real estate agency of later generations, but this agent is all-encompassing, from the purchase and sale of houses, to cars, horses, goods, guarantees, household registration, everything can be done.

As long as you can afford to pay and because of this industry, the outside world doesn't know much.

The demand is also large.

There are thousands of people in the entire Jingshi.

Above the court, the eunuch party, which has been renamed the pro-emperor party, can be described as arrogant at the moment.

Unlike before, the Donglin Party is powerful, as soon as the Apocalypse Ye left, Emperor Chongzhen came to power.

The atmosphere in the court was different in an instant.

But now it's different, and everyone can understand how dissatisfied the emperor is with the Donglin Party.

Not to mention borrowing Wei Zhongxian's hand to carry out a large-scale raid, I heard that the hand of the imperial court can be said to be getting farther and farther, even if it is far away in Wuxi's Donglin Academy.

It was also directly seized by the East Factory, and I heard that a large number of local scholars and so-called students of Donglin College had protested.

But the protests turned out to be pointless.

In exchange, only Jiangnan Dongchang Fanzi has a faster assembly speed.

What's more: Those people really dare to do it.

Together with the Jinyi Guard, the embroidered spring knife will be pulled out, if you say let these factory guards and these Donglin Party have a war of words in the court.

Then ten factory guards can't say that there is no more than one Donglin Party.

But if you pull out the knife and are more powerful than anyone, it is estimated that there is only one possibility to stop, and that is that the knife is cut.

Many people in today's court have discovered strange places.

That is.

Empty.

A large number of seats were vacant, which also made many officials above the court feel for the first time that the Donglin Party had developed to such a scale.

After all, most of the officials have already given up their wealth for their lives, and only the Donglin Party is the group.

This time it was completely planted to the emperor.. Ah, not the hand of Wei Zhongxian.

Everyone knows what Zhu Youzhen means, but who dares to say it?

Zhu Youzhen also felt for the first time what it means to see the sun through the clouds.

I saw him speak directly.

"At the beginning, Wang Gong's factory has been changed to the Royal Firearms Academy, and the relocation has not been completed until now, let alone a new one will be built over there."

"There are places asking for silver everywhere inside and out, and if you don't do anything to these guys, won't you have to raise taxes again?"

"I have already decided, there will be a Ming Dynasty, there will never be a tax increase between the fields, and then expand the Jinyi Guard, after three months, after the training of the Tianhu Army is completed, I will draw a division to investigate the civil taxation of the three provinces of Beijing, Zhili and Shandong! Then take over! After that, go to Gangnam! ”

Above the court, Zhu Youzhen's voice was spread farther and farther along with the reasonably placed amplified iron horn, and poured into everyone's ears.

But no one dared to say a word of opposition, but in the face of going down to Jiangnan to collect taxes.

There are still many people who twitch in their hearts.

Lower Gangnam?

The Emperor... Think again.

No one in this Ming Dynasty knows that Jiangnan is rich, and most of my Ming officials are from Jiangnan.

If this is to collect taxes on those merchants, it must not poke the hornet's nest.

I saw that Yiyanguan said with Zhu Youzhen's expression of increasing enthusiasm as he spoke.

"Emperor, Weichen thinks that this matter should be discussed again... At present, my Ming tax has long been separated from commercial tax, and there is no such precedent since the ancient system in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and then became excited.

"No precedent? There must be no precedent for taxes to be lower year by year, I didn't know it before, but now I know that those businessmen are richer than the other, and the rich countries are not belittling them. ”

"Some of the big families in Jiangnan... The money in my house is even richer than my money, and I can't even afford to pay Liaodong's salary, so can't I make them do their duty? ”

Zhu Youzhen's words sounded like thunder in the court.

"Emperor, Shu Weichen spoke bluntly, although the tenants in Jiangnan were not very active in paying taxes, they also played a great role in maintaining the stability of the Jiangnan region..."

"Stability? Could it be that only Jiangnan needs to be stable, and is it possible that only Jiangnan can eat for my people? Do the people of the north deserve to be harassed by the Tartars? Do you deserve to be ruined and unable to eat a mouthful of food? ”

Others don't know, can Zhu Youzhen not know?

According to the statistics of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of people in the entire north have been moving to the south with the Wanli and Tianqi dynasties.

In the south, especially the gentry class represented by Jiangnan, a large number of land were annexed, and the so-called tenants were not as good as domestic slaves.

Under this transfer, the pressure on the north to resist the Tatars will become more and more great, and if it weren't for Shandong, it would have been over.

"I don't want to talk to you about these things, after March, it is the beginning of the pilot, and now I announce the establishment of the Ming Royal Tax Bureau, and the commercial tax is tentatively set at five taxes and one in the south! Regardless of fame or not, even the royal sale! Pay your taxes as such! ”

"I! You don't need to understand! ”

The unhappy dissolution of the court meeting made not only the capital begin to be secretly turbulent, but as the news spread farther and farther, even the landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River began to sit still.
