Chapter 66: The Supreme Cause.

As Zhu Di finished speaking, the little snot also took the fold from Zhu Di's hand again and handed it to the ministers who were kneeling down.

"Let's go down and do something."

After speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand and turned his back to everyone.

Hearing Zhu Di's final words, everyone stopped saying more, and retreated one after another with their folds.

As everyone left, Zhu Di, who had always turned his back to everyone, had a scheming smug look on his cheeks.

"Little bastard, play tricks with grandpa, those you play with are leftovers from grandpa!"

At the same time as Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji, who was heading towards Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town after the lunch break, suddenly felt cold all over his body, and he sneezed twice on this hot day.

Rubbing his nose, he muttered with some doubts: "Thinking about it and scolding, what kind of fairy is I provoking again, hey, it really doesn't make people quiet for a day." ”

........

Outside the Qianqing Palace.

Led by the crown prince, the six scholars and the cabinet scholars followed, and the moment they walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

It only took a moment to enter this hall, but it seemed that several days had passed, especially that Xia Yuanji, who felt that he had wandered at the gate of the mansion several times after feeling that he had been wandering for so long.

It can be described as a life of nine deaths.

If the prince interceded for him several times, it would be difficult for him to come out with his whole body under the emperor's anger this time.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji hurriedly walked two steps quickly, came to the front of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, raised his hand and bowed to him in front of many ministers around him, and said: "Today in the palace, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince's many intercessions, Xia Yuanji saved his life, and the ministers could not repay him, and asked His Royal Highness to accept the ministers' worship." ”

After speaking, he had to kneel in front of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Although the crown prince Zhu Gaochi looked wide and fat, his movements were not slow at all, and his eyes were quick to move, and he supported Xia Yuanji's kneeling movements.

"Lord Xia is serious."

"Lord Xia is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who has been in charge of the household department for decades, and he can be said to be dedicated, and he does not dare to slack off, I have seen all this, and I believe that my old man is also clear in his heart."

"There is a reason for this incident, if it is not Lord Xia's slackness, my old man is also a last resort, after all, it is about millions of people in the world."

"But as the crown prince, how can I sit idly by. As for Lord Xia's thanks, there is no need. ”

Seeing that Xia Yuanji wanted to say something more, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly patted his arm and said: "Now is not the time to care about this, the emperor only gave us three days, and once the three days pass, if we can't come up with a complete idea in our hands, I'm afraid that the real disaster will come at that time." ”

Hearing Zhu Gaochi mention this matter, the people around couldn't help but look solemn.

Then, under Zhu Gaochi's gesture of raising his hand, they all walked towards the Shang study, ready to discuss the matter carefully.

As everyone came to the study room and sat down, Zhu Gaochi, who was the leader, had the time to go to see the excerpt given to him by the old man.

According to the problems just discussed in the Qianqing Palace, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Not even a clue.

Directly ordered that the gentry should not annex land? Or is it stipulated that land cannot be bought or sold?

Either way, however, it seems that it will not be able to fundamentally solve the current problem. Even if it was stipulated that the land of the Ming Dynasty could not be bought and sold privately, the fact of annexation had now appeared, and more than 30 percent of the cultivated land was in the hands of the gentry, and restricting the sale of land could only curb the trend of annexation, but it could not change the problem of the lack of land in the hands of the common people.

Could it be that just watching those people starve to death one by one?

After all, now that they have discovered this problem, they can't sit idly by.

And since the old man asked them to see this excerpt, and said that it played a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade, then there must be some deep meaning.

Just when everyone in the Shangshu room was sitting quietly on their chairs, waiting for the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to speak after reading it, Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting on the main seat, had a face that changed several times.

Spread into acres.....

The Ding tax, which dragged down the poor people, was included in the land tax revenue, and while the tax pressure of the poor people was relieved, the finances of the imperial court would not be dragged down.

Really let the actual owners of those land bear the burden.

Let the rich bear more taxes.....

With Zhu Gaochi's continuous in-depth understanding of this excerpt, Zhu Gaochi became more and more immersed in it.

In the past, everyone paid taxes in the direction of taxation, but this innovative method of taxation has changed the previous state, and it can almost be said that it has subverted the entire tax system accumulated in China for thousands of years.

The benefits behind this strategy are unimaginable.

As the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi, who has been in charge of the country for so many years and has rich experience in handling politics, can see the value behind this excerpt at a glance.

For Da Ming, this is more than a word.

Countless poor people will get a respite and recovery time because of this policy, the mortality rate of the Ming people will be reduced to an unimaginable level, and at the same time, the birth population of the people will also increase explosively.

Since ancient times, it has been common for people to revolt and rebel in all dynasties, why?

I can't live anymore.

Under this tax policy, the mortality rate caused by hunger and poverty has been reduced, which means that the people have an unprecedented living environment.

To be alive, who wants to rebel with their head on their waist?

In addition, what will the explosion of population bring to the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Gaochi couldn't be clearer.

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi, whose state of mind had already been tempered in countless government affairs, could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment.

In an extremely excited mood, Zhu Gaochi's hand holding the fold unconsciously clenched, as if he wanted to crush the fold.

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi understood everything. I also have a personal experience of what the old man is doing today.

"No wonder.... No wonder ....."

It's no wonder that Zhu Gaochi repeated several sentences in a row.

No wonder the old man has moved so much today.

In addition to the anger after the land annexation was discovered, there was no old man's determination to break the boat after seeing the content of this reciprocal matter.

Let me ask, which emperor can withstand this temptation after seeing the content of this recital?

Beauty, Wealth, Power.....

These things pursued by ordinary people are simply spicy chicken in the eyes of the emperor!

When they want and when they have.

Only this is enough to subvert thousands of years of history, establish a supreme great cause, and leave a name in history, which they absolutely cannot resist.

Don't say that it is the old man, the emperor who attaches great importance to his merits, it is he Zhu Gaochi, and his heart at this time is not full of passion.
