Zhu Di coldly compared the accounts.

Then he said: "It's only been a year, and the hidden fields ...... More than doubled the arrest, one Taiping Mansion is like this, so what about other state capitals in the world? ”

Xia Yuanji's heart was both nervous and relieved.

He knew very well that after this matter was revealed, it would be unforgivable for His Majesty.

This is not a matter of a little bit of land, it has been hidden for so many years, and its nature has changed.

Of course, the reason why he was relieved was that he, the head of the household, was taken out.

Yes, he preemptively came to report the good news, the essence is for this, once others preempt the first and conceal the matter of the land, it will inevitably evolve into an empty seal case, which is the conspiracy of the head of the household department and the parent officials of the local state and county.

But now...... It's like he preemptively exposed it, at least ...... His Majesty still treats him as his own.

It was because he was his own that he was interrogated harshly.

If there is no trust in this foundation......

He knew Zhu Di, and he would never ask more, at least not in person, but Jinyiwei put down a driving sticker and asked him to confess in the edict.

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, he knew about the hidden things, but he didn't dare to say it.

And he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, thinking that it was just the local gentry and hiding something, but this is understandable, after all...... It's human nature not to want to pay taxes.

But where did you think that these people are playing like this!

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty...... Although the ministers occasionally heard about some hidden lands, they ......"

Zhu Di stiffened his face and said, "But what? ”

Xia Yuanji said: "I didn't dare to make a big fuss before. ”

"Fuss?" Zhu Di's face became even more angry.

Xia Yuanji said: "I originally thought that there was not much hidden land, maybe only one or two percent of the world, or even less, but if you go to clear the land on a large scale, it will cost countless money, food and labor costs, so the ministers ......."

Zhu Di's face was slightly gentler, what Xia Yuanji said made sense, Qingzhang land has a cost, especially these people who hide the land, since they dare to do this, they must have their energy.

If there is not much land to be concealed, even if some of it is found out, but if the manpower and material resources are spent, the tax may only be increased by one or two percent, which is called more than worth the loss.

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, made such a consideration, and he couldn't say that he was right, but he couldn't be said to be guilty.

Zhu Di closed his eyes, something flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "If it is really just a little hidden, what the Qing family said is not unreasonable, but now it seems that ...... But that's not the case. ”

"Yes." Xia Yuanji said: "The minister was also surprised, if this matter is not thoroughly investigated...... The losses of the imperial court were too great. “

Zhu Di said: "In addition to the huge amount of hidden land......

After a pause, Zhu Di said slowly: "There are still ...... The amount of land registered in Taiping Province has more than doubled, but the amount of grain that can be collected has increased by four times...... Here's ...... Have you sorted out the accounts? ”

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Taiping Mansion can have millions of stone of summer grain is because the base of land has more than doubled, and in addition, it is the people who did not collect taxes before, and Taiping Mansion has also started to levy taxes. ”

"People who don't pay taxes?"

"According to the tax law, the gentry and the scholars with meritorious names are exempted from taxes."

Zhu Di sneered: "Of course I know, but the problem is...... Taxes on the gentry and scholars...... The reduction and exemption is the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court, but now it seems that their land is too much. That's not all, there is also a silver tax, which is even more scary here, a government is like this, there are so many prefectures and counties in the world, what is it like? ”

Speaking of these, Zhu Di felt that the anger in his heart rose again.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly bowed down and said, "The sin of death for the minister." ”

Zhu Di said: "Of course you are guilty. ”

He let out a roar.

Teach Xia Yuanji's mood to tremble, and his relaxed heart is hanging high again.

Zhu Di stared at him with a cold face for a while, but said: "But compared with other official gentry, you are better, at least you still know...... These things should not be. I'm afraid that some people ...... concealed the land, relied on the preferential treatment of the imperial court, and reduced taxes, but he was still complacent and complacent. it, these brutes, what are they! ”

Zhu Di became more and more angry: "On weekdays, everyone is calling them poor, one by one...... They all said that they couldn't live anymore, how the people were, and the court treated them so much, they were not satisfied, and they had to complain all day long, and now they ...... Look at what this bunch is! Today's affairs, you can't take a break, quickly summon the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, and summon Zhang Anshi! ”

Under Zhu Di's anger, Xia Yuanji was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, so there were eunuchs who rushed to summon people.

Not long after, Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others had already arrived, and saw Zhu Di's face pale, while Xia Yuanji was prostrate on the ground, without saying a word.

The scholars were shocked, knowing what was happening, but His Majesty's expression was obscure, but it was difficult to guess His Majesty's thoughts, so they fell to the ground one after another.

Zhu Di didn't look at them, just looked down at the account books on the royal table.

Although he saw a headache, he looked at it very seriously, and the more he looked, the more he couldn't hold it back, and he was so angry that he was about to tremble.

A leopard in a tube, a leopard in a tube.

The amount of information that can be derived from a Taiping Mansion is simply too great.

Dare to love the world's money and food, seventy or eighty percent of it is accounted for, and I get two or three percent, and I have to use the money to train soldiers, to give relief, and to support hundreds of officials. And those who took seventy or eighty percent, if they only got benefits, they just made a lot of money in silence.

It's just that these people are just the most fucking group who like to be full of benevolence and morality, and they educate you every day, ring the alarm bell for you every day, and they are worried about the country and the people when they open their mouths.

Finally, a eunuch hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei Guo has arrived." ”

"Xuan."

Zhang Anshi entered the palace.

Only then did Zhu Di take his eyes off the ledger and raise his head.

Zhang Anshi has been noticeably thinner recently.

The moment Zhu Di saw Zhang Anshi, his eyes lit up and said, "Give me a seat." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at the princes who were kneeling on the ground, and a eunuch brought him a chair, but he was not polite and sat down loudly.

Zhu Di said: "I have read the accounts. ”

"Your Majesty...... Minister......"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "You have to go to Taiping Mansion, you go well, if you don't go, I am still a fool, a fool, or a faint king." ”

That's a lot of weight.

scared Xia Yuanji and the others, and even more so that his soul was not possessed, and his head hung lower unconsciously.

Zhu Di said again at this time: "Damn, they take advantage of me, and they have to teach me to say that they are good!" ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di in anger cautiously, and said, "Minister...... ...... in Taiping Province"

Zhu Di interrupted him and said, "You talk to me about taxes." “

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "In order to cut off the White Lotus Sect, the minister ...... The implementation of military law in Taiping Province was to eradicate the soil of the White Lotus Sect, so it ...... Venture...... A number of governance changes have been made. If the prefect yamen wants to do more, first of all, he must have silver, and the government has no silver, how to build bridges and pave roads, how to build schools, how to strengthen river embankments, and how to relieve the people? The minister followed this line of thought...... Go dry. ”

"In the past, some things about repairing bridges and roads actually ...... Parents and officials in various places have adopted some ways to invite the gentry to cooperate, such as the parents and officials come forward, the gentry you have dozens of taels, I have dozens of taels, make up a little silver, and then build a school. After Kechen arrived at the Taiping Mansion, he found ...... These gentry are also willing to give generously, and if the government wants them to sponsor them, they are willing to give a little money......"

After a pause, Zhang Anshi continued: "But the minister took a closer look, but found that this is not the case, the government requires the gentry to do things, so they are treated very preferentially, and the gentry only need to take out a little silver, they can get the reputation of a good person." It is precisely because of this that they relied on the convenience of their relationship with the government to hide the land, and by making people contribute, they were exempted from a large amount of taxes, so as to ...... Not only did they do good deeds, but they also relied on them to earn many times the profits. ”

Zhu Di listened carefully.

Zhang Anshi continued: "The minister was confused at the time, isn't this a joke? The small people have to pay taxes, but the people who have a lot of land, but the government does not take a penny, and every year they take out dozens of taels and hundreds of taels, and give alms to the government, and the government has to give them a memorial arch that accumulates good people. Thereupon...... The minister was in the Taiping Mansion and set a few rules. ”

"First, if we don't find out all the hidden land, the government will not be able to do things, and the unfair tax system will lead to terrible phenomena. The more people who own land, who do not have to pay taxes, will do everything they can to increase their land. The small people with less land, who bear the taxes, have to sell their land to make ends meet with some natural and man-made disasters, and so on...... How can it be done, the people really have no way to live except to believe in the White Lotus Sect. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he nodded subconsciously.

Yang Rong and the others also gradually came back to their senses, but at this time, they decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

I saw Zhang Anshi say again: "After clearing the acres of land, it is to spread the land into the mu, and collect the grain tax according to the amount of the field, instead of collecting it by the head in the past, so that those who have land pay more grain, and those who have no land will pay less." Of course, the indispensable part of this is that the officials and gentry pay for the grain as one......"

Zhu Di listened and continued to nod his head.

To a certain extent, the Ming Dynasty inherited the Yuan system, and the tax system of the Yuan Dynasty was very chaotic.

When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there was not much idea of taxation, although he did not dare to play such a strange thing as tax package, but because for a hundred years, there were not many talents in charge of taxation, so a very rough and simple tax system in kind was established.

And Zhang Anshi figured out his thoughts, he said: "Your Majesty, the essence of taxation, the minister thinks that there are only two, one of which is to borrow the power of the imperial court to balance the military and civilian people in the world, not only can not teach the small people to be forced by taxes to have no place to live, but also teach those gentry who have the advantage to pay more grain for the use of the imperial court." ”

"The second is that the court needs to spend, so it has to have money and food, if the finance and taxes are insufficient, and the government even needs to build bridges and pave roads, it also needs to beg from people, so this local government, is it the parents appointed by the court who have the final say, or the local Haoqiang has the final say? Wealth is a major matter of the highest rank in the world, and it must not be overlooked, if not, then the court and the government will not be able to do anything. ”

Zhu Di nodded again and again: "For so many years, only Zhang Qing dared to say such a thing, but ...... If you want to levy it, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"Of course it's not easy." Zhang Anshi said frankly: "So these days, the minister sits in the prefect's yamen every day, and he doesn't dare to make any mistakes, and there are many problems encountered in it, and the minister has not served as a parent official, so he is very unfamiliar with it, and some ...... It's just an idea. ”

Zhang Anshi paused here before he said: "But relying on such an idea, it is more difficult to turn it into reality than to ascend to the sky." Fortunately, the officials of the Taiping Mansion are well aware of the righteousness, and after they learn of the minister's thoughts, they are willing to do their best to assist the minister...... It's hard to get to heaven. Among them, there is Tongzhi Gao Xiang, when the summer grain is launched, he is in the Tongzhi Hall almost day and night, or he goes to the counties to inspect, almost does not touch the ground, encounters problems, has to deal with it personally, can only sleep for two or three hours a day, and sometimes the busy eating time is delayed. ”

"There is also Li Zhaomo, he presides over the discipline, but also painstakingly, the most difficult thing to collect taxes, is to convince people, although the rules have been changed, but the rules are a line, if it is fair and just, according to the rules, although many people are not convinced, it can be seen that the government is one and the same, but they are speechless. If you are afraid, some people will levy more, and some people will levy less, which will inevitably be criticized and cause disputes. In the process of collecting summer grain, Li Zhaomo dealt with a total of 74 officials who violated the rules, which not only greatly eliminated the accumulated defects of previous years, eliminated many black sheep, but also greatly ensured the smooth requisition of grain. ”

As for the county orders of the lower counties, they are also very cooperative, including Wuhu County Commander Zhou Jin. There are many wealthy families in Wuhu County, and many of them ...... It's all related to high-ranking officials and nobles, but Zhou County Commander is not afraid of power, and he will deal with those who dare to block the requisition of grain, regardless of the identity of the other party......"

"Your Majesty, this person, you know, I am lazy and greedy, I am still young, I can't hold my breath, if it is not for the big guys to help together, such a complicated errand, I am afraid it will not be done."

Zhang Anshi's words are exaggerated.

However, Zhu Di was still moved, because Zhu Di knew very well that the local parent officials were different from other errands, and the things to be managed were too detailed.

And Zhang Anshi, this guy, still set a precedent, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the three counties of the entire Taiping Mansion by himself.

If it were not for the dedication of many people to deal with the problems caused by the new measures at any time, it would indeed be impossible to complete this expropriation in such a short period of time.

But now it seems that the expropriation work has not only been done very well, but also ...... It was too good to be overdone, and it greatly surprised everyone.

Obviously, this is inseparable from the support of the Taiping Mansion.

So Zhu Di said: "You don't have to be humble, although everyone is willing to do their best, it may be possible for these officials to do their best, which is also your prefect's ability." ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi steadily, but he was full of praise: "If the officials in the world are like the Taiping Mansion, what else am I worried about?" This Taiping Mansion is a model in the world, and Zhang Qing's family and its officials are even more examples of officials in the world. ”

Zhu Di seemed very serious, the Taiping Mansion paid too much money and grain, the grain increased several times, but the commercial tax was ten times.

If this is the case, how can the treasury not be full? With so much silver, whether it is the national economy and people's livelihood, the space that the imperial court can exert is too big.

Zhang Anshi's operation seems to have opened a new path for Zhu Di.

"Such a feat of daring to be the first in the world is an eye-opener." Zhu Di groaned and said boldly: "Taiping Mansion is doing a good job, everyone...... All are to be rewarded. ”

After Zhu Di said that, he immediately looked at Yishiha: "I want to write a will, express the Taiping Mansion, and order someone to erect a monument in the Taiping Mansion, so that all generations can praise their achievements." ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di said again: "As for the officials who have made meritorious contributions this time, they should also be rewarded." ”

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, but he seemed to be thinking about something, and after half a sound, he said, "There is no need to be promoted to an official position unusually." ”

Not promoted?

Zhang Anshi's heart sank suddenly, lying in a groove, tired and tired for most of the day, is it just a reward?

Besides, with the stinginess of His Majesty's reward...... That's not interesting.

At the beginning, the reward was only 10,000 taels of silver, and there are so many people in this Taiping Mansion, maybe in the end, the maximum number of people is only ten taels or eight taels.

Although this amount of money is not a small amount for ordinary people, Zhang Anshi still can't help but be disappointed.

Zhu Di then said: "But this year...... The money and grain of the Taiping Mansion ranks first in the world, which shows how important this Taiping Mansion is, I look at it...... Elevate the Taiping Mansion to a higher level. This Taiping Mansion is the same as the corresponding Tianfu and Shuntianfu, and the prefect was changed to Fu Yin, Zhang Anshi...... If you still stay in office, you will be the governor of this Taiping Mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi, who was originally depressed, was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it a little.

Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Xia Yuanji and others were also greatly surprised at this time, because this incident was ...... Not small.

There are two capitals in the Ming Dynasty, one is Yingtianfu and the other is Shuntianfu, Yingtianfu is actually the urban area of Nanjing City, and Shuntianfu is the urban area of Beiping.

After the success of Zhu Dijing's difficulty, he entered Nanjing to claim the emperor, considering that Beiping is the land of Longxing and an important town in the north, so Beiping Mansion was changed to Shuntian Mansion and listed as the accompanying capital.

These two capitals, in fact, have another name, that is, Jingzhao Mansion, their pattern and management territory, although there is no difference from ordinary prefectures, but after all, because it is a Gyeonggi important place, so the level is extraordinary.

For example, in the ordinary mansion, the prefect is the fourth product, but the Yingtianfu Yin and Shuntianfu Yin, which can be used as Jingzhao, are the three products.

That is to say, Ying Tianfu Yin, the official position is comparable to that of the political envoys of the provinces, and they are all three products.

Of course, in addition to the fact that the prefect has become the governor of the palace, it is equivalent to becoming a real feudal official. And other officials in Jingzhao are also rising.

By analogy, then Jingzhao's Tongzhi was originally the fifth grade, but now, it has directly become the fourth grade.

As for the county order at the bottom, the ordinary county order is the positive seventh product, while the county order of Jingzhao County is the positive sixth product.

Skipping two levels directly is definitely an exceptional promotion, and this kind of promotion, even if it is Hanlin, although the promotion is fast, there are very few such cases.

As for the magistrates, don't say that they jump two levels in a row, even if it is a leap from the seventh rank to the sixth grade, it may take a lifetime, and most of them are stuck in this position, and they will never get ahead in their lives.

Zhu Di didn't care how surprised and surprised everyone was, he continued: "From now on, Taiping Mansion is also Jingzhao Mansion, all matters can be played directly, in addition, in addition to the administrative office in the palace, the newly established procuratorate and mansion, mansion, yin and yang science and medicine, monk and Taoist division, river berth, tax bureau, etc., Zhang Qing's family has drawn up a list and reported to me here." ”

Zhang Anshi really didn't expect this unexpected joy, he even clenched his fists and felt the strength of his palms, so he dared to believe that this was real.

So, all that was left was the elation.

Since the Taiping Mansion has been upgraded, the institutions of Jingzhao Mansion are not comparable to ordinary mansions, that is to say...... The number of establishments has also increased.

After all, Jingzhao Mansion is governed according to the scale of the province, and in the past, it relied on a prefect's office, a Tongzhi office, and a few governance models such as Zhaomo and Tongju, and it was far from enough, and many new yamen needed to be established.

And Zhu Di's meaning is obviously the official candidates to be filled by these yamen. He doesn't care, you Zhang Anshi will report by yourself, report to me, and I will give you approval.

Zhang Anshi tried hard to stabilize his excited mood, and finally suppressed the urge to laugh, but said sincerely gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty......"

That's a lot of money!

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me, I want to thank you, the group of dog officials who joined his mother, one by one, took me as a fool, it is rare to have you who are willing to work hard, am I still reluctant?" ”

Zhu Di smiled at first, but when he said these words later, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

Zhu Di then looked at Yang Rong and the others, but he didn't face Zhang Anshi's kind face, and said coldly: "What do you think of my measures? Come, tell the truth, if you oppose it, you can also say that you are ugly. ”

At this point, Yang Rong and the others were still thinking about it, and Xia Yuanji said without hesitation: "The minister thinks it is very good, and it should be so." ”

You know, he's under the most pressure right now!

As the affected Hubu Shangshu, at this time, he has to hurry closer, otherwise, he may be the first to go under the knife.
