In the cold winter of the seventeenth year of Jingtai, all the departments outside the Guan, including the Jurchens, were extremely desolate, starved to death and froze to death, and the country had little impact because of its early preparations.

Comparing inside and outside, Da Ming looked lively with a dark belly, and felt that the winter of Jingtai in the seventeenth year was extraordinarily pleasant!

Even Hami watched with joy as he starved and froze outside the gate.

Well, the Gyeonggi court also has a dump.

Most of them are intrigues between courtiers.

The relationship between the imperial power and the ministers is surprisingly harmonious, except for Chen Xun who will pretend to be dead when he asks the household to take the money, other things, as long as Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Jianji have a request, all the ministries of the court will fully cooperate.

In the end, before the end of the year, Zhu Jianji's father and son reached their initial ideals.

Arms in hand!

The regimental battalion, the 26 guards of the pro-army, and the local guard of the governor's office of the five armies, but all those belonging to the Ming army, the appointment and dismissal of all military generals are determined by the Qianqing Palace.

The salaries and horses of the three major military forces also need to be approved by the Qianqing Palace.

The military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies no longer have the right to transfer troops.

After this move was implemented, Zhu Qiyu could finally sleep peacefully.

No matter who it is in the future, there is no way to raise an army.

Since the first year of Jingtai, after seventeen years, Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the east wind of the good eldest child to finally solve this hidden danger of his henchmen, and the great tomorrow once again became the real master of this world.

In the blink of an eye, it has been 18 years of Jingtai.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to personally conquer again, under the operation of various departments of the court, all the materials have already been prepared, but the contraction of the previous Daming maritime strategy has led to not many naval warships that can be mobilized.

It's okay, it's not a big problem to transport the young army of Donggong to land in Taiwan across the strait.

All the warships were transferred to Dengzhouwei first, and the young army of Donggong left for Dengzhouwei after the Spring Festival, worried that the soldiers would be seasick and other unsuitable for water and soil, so they carried out a month's sea drill in advance.

On the other hand, it also familiarized the young army with naval warfare, and worried about encountering pirates when crossing the strait.

Actually, I think too much.

The court Jiuqing, especially Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, will never let the prince of the Ming Dynasty have an accident.

When the young army of Donggong goes out, almost more than half of the naval warships and sailors of the Ming Dynasty will be transferred to the sea areas around Fujian and Guangdong when the time comes.

It's just that I'm afraid that the movement will be too big and will be detected by Taiwan.

Therefore, it was delayed to hold the troops.

But Rao is like this, the actions of the Daming Navy Division in the Dengzhou Wei Sea still scared North Korea and Japan enough, thinking that the Ming Dynasty was going to take military action against them.

After the Shangyuan Festival in the eighteenth year of Jingtai, two major events occurred.

First, the Ming Dynasty proclaimed the world and banned the sea, but my Chinese sons and daughters, as long as they have the ability, can go to the offices of the newly established department of the Ministry of Household "Maritime Division" in the coastal ports to register, and can form caravans for overseas trade, and the Maritime Department will send people to supervise and verify the goods transported to the sea for trade, and make a register and send it to the "Maritime Taxation Division" of the Ministry of Households, and the Maritime Taxation Department will count and calculate the profits after returning from the maritime trade, and collect a certain amount of taxes according to the proportion.

The local prosecutor's office exercises the power to supervise this matter.

As soon as this reform came out, it caused an uproar.

Previously, the center of the court and the local scholars behind them, although some of them were robbed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of a huge amount of one million taels, they already had the experience and strength to go to sea, and they could continue to trade overseas, and the money looted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in vain could be earned back.

So in the end, he succumbed to the imperial power and agreed to open the sea, otherwise he could talk about Taizu's sea ban ancestral system, and fight with Zhu Qiyu and his son for a few years on the matter of opening the sea, and it is impossible to say whether there will be a Liu Daxia.

As a result, as soon as the proclamation of the imperial court came out, taxes were to be collected.

And it's a ladder tax!

If the profit is less than 100,000 yuan, the harvest will be 20%.

Between 100,000 and 150,000 profits, two and a half percent of the income.

Profits between 150,000 and 200,000 yuan are taxed at 30%.

Between 200,000 and 250,000 yuan, 30% and a half of the tax is collected.

More than 250,000 profits, 40% of the harvest.

This is simply a naked money grab!

Everyone also thought about collecting taxes before, but they didn't expect it to be so heavy, and they didn't expect that this tax collection was not the responsibility of the local government, but the Ministry of Household set up a department directly under the Central Government, the Department of Maritime Taxation.

Taxes go directly to the treasury!

This means that the local gentry want to be tired of it.

As a result, the civil official group in the court, which was the spokesman for the interests of the scholars, and even most of the military generals and nobles, began to play frequently on this matter.

Zhu Qiyu will stay in the middle school.

He was also worried.

This tax policy was not set by him, it was the prince's intention.

The backlash of the courtiers had long been expected.

So Zhu Qiyu was confessed, but some courtiers played on this matter, and they all stayed in the middle and did not send it, if someone mentioned it at the court meeting, then pretended to be deaf and dumb, so a very strange scene can be seen at the court meeting in recent days.

On the Fengtian Palace, a group of civil and military officials played on the matter of opening the sea to pay taxes, and then seconded a large number of them.

But the one sitting on the dragon chair is like a statue.

Whatever you say, just don't squeak, and stay up quietly until the big deal.

In the end, it was basically Jiuqing who came out to resolve the embarrassment.

Regarding the matter of taxation, Jiuqing's attitude is clear.

Especially the household Chen Xun, that is 10,000 support, as the Ming Dynasty's household secretary, he knows too well the Ming Dynasty's finances, how can he be poor, if the sea is opened and the taxes are collected, the household treasury can at least have a few million taels of income a year.

That's a good thing.

Although the family behind Chen Xun also brought a message to invite him to play, Chen Xun didn't know how important it was.

The rest of Jiuqing are almost the same as Chen Xun.

It's all been proclaimed to the world, is it useful to oppose it?

Besides, as Jiuqing, I understand the country's difficulties better, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can fundamentally change the current situation of the Ming Dynasty that has been poor for nearly a hundred years, why not.

But there is one exception.

Chen Ruyan, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

This Shangshu has always been the backbone of the opposition to the excessive taxation of the open sea, and in this game of monarchs and ministers, he has won the hearts of many people, and under various momentums, he has become the head of the civil official group.

The court is in a game, and the proclamation of the court has taken effect.

Unlike the wealthy scholars in the court, the declining scholars in the country, as well as the merchants who have been low in status since ancient times, know this policy of the imperial court, and it is called a joy.

They are not qualified to participate in the court game.

Hurry up and take advantage of the policy to engage in a few overseas trades first.

As for taxes......

Their economic strength does not allow the scale of maritime trade to be too large, and a single profit is less than 100,000 yuan, and they pay 20% of the tax, and the income can still be tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels, which is a big profit.

As a result, when the Mukcheon Hall in Gyeonggi was still in a protracted confrontation, the coastal private trade was already in full swing.

The second major event, Yu Qian's resignation.

Men do into women to do full, born in Hongwu 31 years of Yu Shaobao, in Jingtai 18 years in May, will hold his 70th birthday banquet, and people live 70 years to rare.

Yu Qian is old.

In addition, because of the recent opening of the sea and taxation, when the monarch and the minister are in the game, the civil official group always intentionally or unintentionally wraps Yu Qian into it, hoping that he can speak for everyone.

Yu Qian was tired.

His Majesty is benevolent and diligent, and the prince is strong and wise.

With such a partner, Yu Qian is also relieved.

I simply resigned.

Zhu Qiyu was very happy when he heard Yu Qian's resignation, but he was not happy for a few hours, and Zhu Jianji, who learned the news, hurried back to the Qianqing Hall from the Military Research Institute, and said undoubtedly that he did not agree with Yu Qian's resignation.

Zhu Qiyu was immediately unhappy.

The two fathers and sons began to fight each other again.
