"Then since you understand, then you can tell me what to do, what if people don't pay?" This is not a simple matter, Zhu Houxi always has to consider it, although his heart is already biased towards him now, as long as he works hard, it should not be a big problem for him to help a little.

"Kill, kill the chickens and make an example, as long as you are ruthless enough, there will always be people who are afraid, as long as someone starts to make friends, then the rest is not to worry about." Xu Jie squinted his eyes, this is not simple, killing chickens and monkeys, as long as they kill hard enough, those people will not dare not pay the money, so let's be ruthless.

During this time, I really learned a lot in the cabinet, I have to do it when I should do it, and I must not be soft-hearted, sometimes, some people are cheap, he doesn't listen to you when you talk well, and you have to use some means to see the blood to have an effect.

"Young people, how do you know how to fight and kill, what we have to do to be convincing and let people take the initiative to pay money, aren't you just robbing money, young people don't be too impulsive." Who knew that Zhu Houxi shook his head, he could indeed receive money in this way, but it was not considered superior, others were forced to hand over the money, and they must not be happy, do they have to come here once a year, and it will add a lot of difficulty to the intelligence department.

Of course, iron-blooded means must be indispensable, and you don't know how to be afraid if you don't see blood, but this is not the main means, it's best to let those people take out the money weirdly, even if you want to do it, those need to find a reasonable reason, as for the resistance to the tax law you said, what is it, isn't it just to grab money.

"And what does Your Majesty mean?" Xu Jie was a little incomprehensible, could it be just verbal, how could those people pay the money, no one's money was blown by the wind.

"That's naturally loyal and patriotic, you see, who is the Ming Dynasty doing so hard to develop the military for, isn't it to protect the people's property and life safety, now things are not simple, the development of the military always requires money, and it is reasonable to collect taxes, unless you don't stay in Daming, right, every citizen has the obligation to pay taxes, otherwise you are not a citizen of Daming, since you are not a citizen of my Daming, then you are naturally not protected by my Daming law, right?"

Zhu Houxi squinted, everything about me is so reasonable, but it's not so reasonable, anyway, that's the case, you just say that you don't pay the money, if you don't pay taxes, then I don't guarantee the safety of your life and property, if someone steals it, robs and kills something, it has nothing to do with my court.

If this matter is put into modern times, it may also involve Taoist ethics or something, but it is different here, this is Zhu Houxi's words, besides, what he did is reasonable, at least most people accept it, as for that small part, isn't it just looking for death.

Xu Jie's eyes lit up, it's a good way, if you don't pay taxes, I don't guarantee your safety, if something happens to you, I can not accept your case, don't talk about robbers and thieves like this, even those people will get involved, after all, this is not a Ming person, right, everything you steal is your own, if someone from his family hurts herself, she can still sue the government.

This is no longer a murderous heart, this is a coercive measure, if you don't pay the money, then you just wait, of course, there is no shortage of those characters who have hands and eyes, but didn't we say it, if you don't pay taxes, you are not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, what do you want to do as a foreigner staying in the Ming Dynasty?

I can just give you a crime and I can do you, and the army doesn't have a task system, just spend military merit to issue tasks, and I'm afraid I won't be able to clean you up?

"Haha, people, you have to use your brains, let's ask them to take the initiative to pay taxes, instead of reaching into their pockets like grabbing money, understand?" The tax bureau can't evolve into a violent department, so the impact is not good, although it feels a bit like the underworld, but in fact it is really like this, the environment you live in is created by the imperial court, paying taxes is a reasonable thing, if you don't pay money, why should I protect your rights and interests, this is a very real problem.

"Wechen understands, Wechen knows what to do, thank you Your Majesty for the mention." Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh, he was still too young, violence was indeed very cool, but it was easy to be hated, if those big families tricked the people into resisting taxes, his errand would be difficult to do, not that he couldn't do it, but that it was too slow to inevitably damage the impression in His Majesty's mind.

"It's good to know, presumably you have already come to your senses, then do it well, the main task this time is those businessmen and wealthy squires, these are the big heads, and you need to draft a tax law, set a minimum tax, you don't have to pay taxes if your annual income is less than much, take a long-term view, the squires don't pay taxes, and the clan doesn't pay food It's bullshit, and when you take office, the Intelligence Bureau will send you the relevant files, and you don't have to trace too much, starting from my accession to the throne, and liquidate it to me little by little."

Zhu Houxi sneered, one or two of them are too nourishing, insatiable, I will let you know right away, what a good life you had before, as for now, pay me money, otherwise don't think about it.

"No." Xu Jie clenched his fists with both hands, only feeling that his heart was boiling, he was also born in a poor family, and his family was so poor that he still had to pay grain and taxes, but it was different in those landlords' homes, so rich and not taxable, now it's okay, hand it over to me, don't even think about running.

"Of course, you don't have to be in a hurry, first start to set up a department, and then after everything is ready, you can directly sweep away the obstacles with the power of thunder, and I will give one million military merits to release the mission in the early stage, and look, any obstacles in front of me will be completely torn apart."

The collision between imperial power and tradition began, but it was already too late, and if he had opposed him with all his might before, it would have been forgotten, but now he has full wings, and the system of the army has been relatively perfect, as long as a certain amount of military merit is given the right to issue tasks, the army is an invincible sword.

Although there are pros and cons, it seems that the pros definitely outweigh the disadvantages, so this is also the reason why Zhu Houxi was so angry with Qi Jingtong before, it is not easy to control, you don't care about things, the people below are easy to lose control.

But fortunately, Wang Yangming is back, Zhu Houxi believes that Wang Yangming has no problem suppressing those arrogant generals, and with Qi Jingtong assisting by his side, there is always no problem with excess.

It can be expected that the army will definitely surpass the cabinet in the future to become the most important department of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty may become a military power system country, but what does this have to do with him, he is still very confident that he can hold it down, as for when he is not there, as long as the Ming Dynasty can continue to be rich and strong, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it, it's a big deal to establish a constitutional monarchy, just keep a name.

If the children and grandchildren don't have the ability, he thinks this is also quite good, and the later Da Ming will not be too weak.

"Your Majesty, a million, is it a little too much?" Xu Jie knows that the current exchange ratio of military merits is officially one to one, but in private it is almost one to five, which is extremely scarce, and his million military merits are five million taels of silver.

"How? Not much, just a million, compared to 500,000 troops, a person can not have two merits, the official price is only one million taels of silver, if the tax is done well, tens of millions of dollars a year is absolutely not a problem, if the business is more developed in the future, the tax collection is hundreds of millions a year, now where is it, the first million, my idea is that you can win five million to earn, the new department has just been established, it is very important to lay a good foundation, it should be the start-up capital I gave you. ”

Zhu Houxi waved his hand, isn't the benefit coming, just send out a million, this is not the same as a money printing machine, it is faster than a money printing machine, as long as the country's reputation is good enough, military merit is much more useful than money, and he can issue paper money when he eats that.

It's not that gold and silver are not easy to use, it's too heavy, it's not very convenient to travel, and it's better to print money directly than silver bills and the like, just change the corresponding monetary system.

"Wechen understands." Xu Jie nodded solemnly, His Majesty's heart is very big, and his task is very heavy, but since His Majesty has confidence in him, he is naturally willing to try, and no one will feel that he is inferior to others before he starts.

Isn't it just for this day that I have suffered for so long under the old hands of Yan Ge, I have His Majesty's platform, what am I afraid of.

"I hope you really understand, just treat it as a military training, you can easily handle it within the five major military regions, and long-distance missions can also be sent, when you are about to send it, the military department should tell you the process and pricing, just set the height a little, don't be so stingy, and ah, in addition to the military department, you have to cooperate closely with the intelligence bureau, it is not easy for me to set up such an intelligence bureau in the first place, you can watch and do it."

"Weichen knows that His Majesty is so supportive, Weichen will definitely not mess things up, Your Majesty, you just look at it, you were not wrong." Xu Jie solemnly kowtowed, he must have something to do with His Majesty being taken care of so much, and His Majesty also gave him such an opportunity, people must know how to be grateful, and the grace of knowing is irretributable.

"Haha, then it depends on your own ability, I don't have anything else to help except give some money, I'm very real here, those who have the ability will be on the top, don't think about getting ahead in this life if you don't have the ability, don't think about getting ahead of your life if you don't have the ability, you don't have the ability to do, I'm destined to be unstable, go and do it, I will help you with something."

Zhu Houyu waved his hand, and said a lot to Xu Jie, after all, this is a talent he discovered, fate made them meet, meeting is fate, Zhu Houyu is still willing to pull a hand, in fact, Zhu Houyu does not stretch out his hand Xu Jiezhen may not be able to get up, and he has also found a lot of talents during this time.

With the popularization of new education, all kinds of new talents are also emerging, and this is the time when geniuses are most likely to emerge, and these geniuses really need a chance to emerge.

"Wechen thank Your Majesty."

"Okay, thank you or not, it's not just words, do a good job, tax matters are really important, although Daming is rich now, but not durable enough, a reasonable tax is very important for the development of a country."

Zhu Houxi waved his hand, it's all money, he can't sit like this all the time, it costs money everywhere, especially Jinyiwei, with the continuous increase in production, the investment is getting bigger and bigger, and the finished product is impossible to sell, although it has been transformed into military products, but he can't resell military merits, he still has to find a stable source of income.

All kinds of taxes are naturally the first choice, but usually the dynasty generally likes to scrape a little more on the people, but it is only a few taels of meat, even if you scrape hard, you can't scrape much oil and water, but he is different, the ready-made big fat pig is next to him, who does he not scrape.

Of course, it may not be that I didn't want to scrape oil and water before, but maybe I didn't dare to.

Although they are clamoring that water can carry boats and capsize boats, those in power are more likely to regard those non-commissioned officer families as their cornerstone.

After all, even if the people are dissatisfied, it can't overthrow the rule of the people in power, and a few of so many dynasties were overthrown by the peasants, but those big families have this ability, so it's clear which is more important.

It's a pity that Zhu Houyu doesn't play cards according to the routine, he is not afraid of who will overthrow him, all he needs is obedient people, if these families can be obedient, Zhu Houyu really has to measure it in his heart, after all, they can help them manage the people.

It doesn't matter if it's an embarrassment or a use, but Zhu Houxi will definitely give enough benefits, but these people are disobedient or not easy to control, then don't blame him, he can only stand on the side of the people, in fact, it's all the same, but the process is a little twisted, and he has to arouse the desire of the masses to resist.

"Weichen understands, but Weichen has always had a question in his heart, that is, did His Majesty come to Weichen specifically or was it just an accident?" Xu Jie really had a lot of questions about the original encounter, but he didn't have a chance to ask, and now he finally found an opportunity, if nothing else, just curiosity.

"Haha, that's naturally fate, Destiny let me meet you, who am I, I am the Son of Destiny, I met you when I went out, don't think it's just a coincidence, that's inevitable, you have this talent to shoulder the big responsibility, and you also know the later situation, your performance is very good, so I gave you this opportunity."

Zhu Houxi was blunt, there was nothing to hide, it was as simple as that, but the confidence in His Majesty made Xu Jie deeply impressed, yes, Your Majesty is the son of destiny, with such a Majesty, what else is there to worry about, Lord Yan is such a smart person, doesn't he still make all the bets?
