This time, Zhu Zhanji did not sell Guan Zi again, but finished these words in one breath.

By explaining to the old man the question of whether Da Ming is rich or not, he also said the goal of transferring the deficit.

And after Zhu Zhanji stopped, the old man Zhu Di couldn't come back to his senses for a long time and froze in place.

No one could feel how shocked Zhu Di was at this time.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's words today, he would have known nothing about them!

Of course, what he doesn't know is not the question of whether the eldest grandson is rich or not, nor does he not know the so-called hiding wealth from the people and so on, which may not be explained clearly by him, but the experience of ruling over the years is not in vain.

He understands the truth!

And what really shocked him and made him feel incredible were the real examples that this eldest grandson had just given.

During his decades as an emperor, he always thought that the people under his rule were the best in the entire ancient history under his low tax system.

Including his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who has loved the people for decades, he paid by mistake!

It's like a child you've raised all your life and you've been taken by a wolf.

The key is that I thought that those children would thank him and thank them for being kind to them. Don't you know that the people at this time are afraid that they are eager to pick his skin and gnaw his bones!

This feeling of being teased, fooled, and fooled by others made Zhu Di's anger rise wildly at this moment.

As the emperor, he knows very well what policies are being implemented in the imperial court today, the tax exemption for the gentry, the tax exemption for the nobles, and the tax exemption for the emperor's relatives and relatives, one is to commend these people for their contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

The second is to promote these talented people to serve the country.

Third, it is still the same sentence, the distribution of interests, those who follow the old man to fight the world and follow themselves to fight the hardships, these are the benefits under the distribution.

In fact, there is no problem with these decrees themselves, and the imperial court also issued them on the basis of knowing that they will reduce some taxes, because this kind of thing is not only the case in their Ming Dynasty, this kind of decree has existed since ancient times.

However, he had never heard anyone say that under such an order, there would be such a serious impact!

Not even a word has been heard from the mouth of any of the ministers.

If it's just those benefits that are distributed, it doesn't matter, it's all a reward given to them by the imperial court, and it's within the scope that the imperial court can accept.

However, this power to be exempt from taxation has been infinitely magnified by them.

Taking advantage of this policy loophole, he frantically stole the interests of the imperial court and plundered the livelihood of the people.

The greed of these people and the profit-seeking characteristics of human nature, Zhu Di can think of what a profound impact this has had without investigation.

And how many benefits have been looted away by them.

Suddenly, a killing intent also spread out from the body of this seemingly ordinary old man.

Looking at the old man's state at the moment, Zhu Zhanji was also sighing in his heart.

In the final analysis, his grandfather is still the emperor who has been on horseback for a lifetime, and when he is really angry, that momentum alone is enough to shock the world.

Although Zhu Zhanji didn't want to see the old man angry, there was no way, these were the reality.

Not only that, Zhu Zhanji also continued: "In fact, if it's just these, it's just that, at most, some people have taken away the interests that should belong to the court and the people." It's like what grandpa said, the world is bustling, and it's all for profit. The soil in the world is all for profit. After all, it is human nature to seek profit. ”

"However, the most important question now is that when all this wealth is gathered in the hands of those gentry, when the court wants to do something great and needs to increase taxes, these increases still have to be borne by the people. In addition, the poll tax is even more so, the people who have a good annual income and have many children in the family cannot bring any substantial benefits to the family before the children grow up. ”

But the child's father and mother still need to consume more food for the child's growth, and the loss when the child's mother is pregnant and unable to carry out any labor is not at all what ordinary people's families can afford, which leads to many people not even daring to give birth to children. Even in order to have children, they had to sell the land in their hands to those gentry. ”

"As the number of people born in the Ming Dynasty decreases, and the number of dead people does not decrease, it will lead to a deviation in the total population of our dynasty, and the phenomenon of land annexation is becoming more and more serious. And the reason why there has not been an obvious gap in the population of our dynasty up to this day is because the families of the gentry are frantically increasing the number of children in their families after solving the food crisis. ”

"It has also led to the emergence of a situation, although the population will not be significantly reduced, but the actual labor force is constantly decreasing, less work, more people enjoy the results, when this proportion reaches an extreme level, those people who can not bear the oppression will rebel, just like the uprisings in various places in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, just the cause of the flooding of the two rivers, which led to the chaos in the world, and the subversion of the world."

"Think about the subversion of the past dynasties in the history books, if it wasn't for this reason, in the grandfather's theory of interest distribution, this is not the chaos caused by the uneven distribution of interests."

Zhu Zhanji's words completely ignited the anger in Zhu Di's heart.

If those so-called gentry were just a few people, I was afraid that Zhu Di at this time would have been unable to bear the knife to cut.

But this gentry was not a single person, much less a few, but a whole class.

The most important thing is that even though he Zhu Di was full of anger at this time, he thought about it carefully and found that he couldn't find any way to deal with them!

The land was bought and sold according to normal methods, and tax exemption was also the right given to them by the imperial court, even if their existence and practices were likely to lead to the overthrow of the entire Ming Dynasty, but as an emperor, there was nothing they could do about them.

For a while, the depression in Zhu Di's heart can be imagined.

Looking left and right and unable to find a way to get angry, Zhu Di could only stare at Zhu Zhanji, and said with a hard time: "You mean to transfer the deficit of the abolition of the poll tax to these gentry?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Exactly, in the entire Ming Dynasty, they are rich, and they are the richest, so I don't look for anyone they want." ”

After getting Zhu Zhanji's approval, Zhu Di could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Grandpa will make an order now!"

Zhu Zhanji, who heard Zhu Di's words, was stunned: "Grandpa, you are now making an order, in what name do you plan to ask them to increase taxes?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's words also woke Zhu Di up.

I was so angry just now that I forgot about such a simple thing.
