There were not many people at the scene, and Zhu Gaoxu was confident that he would increase the salary of officials in the world, because the number of officials in the Ming Dynasty was far lower than that of later generations.

Take Chengdu as an example.

The officials of the three divisions are: Cheng Xuan Political Department has the left and right political divisions, the left and right political departments, the left and right senators, one person each for experience and capital affairs, one person for Zhaomo and one for school inspection, one person for each of the deputy managers of the Rational Question, one ambassador and one ambassador of the Cang Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, the Baoquan Bureau, and the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, plus one person each of the Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, the Armament Bureau, the Baoquan Bureau, and the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau.

In later generations, there were more than one department in the provincial government.

The sentence is also similar according to the prosecutor, of which the number of probationers is uncertain, and there are also one probation envoy and one deputy envoy, one experience and governor, one zhaomo, one inspector and one prison judge, and a total of less than ten people.

In addition, they all command the envoys, all command envoys, and know two -—— four people (most of them are two, Zhu Di arranged four people in Yunnan), and they all command four people, one experience, one judge, one deputy judge, one prison and one official, adding up to more than a dozen people.

There are less than 50 officials from the three divisions of Sichuan.

Then there is Chengdu Prefecture, one prefect, 1-2 people from Tongzhi and Tongju, one person each for the official, one for the experience, and one for the governor, and one person for the Zhaomo, the school inspection, and the prison.

In the later generations, there were only ten people in the Ming Dynasty.

Then in some places near the sea, there will be a city lifter, usually four or five people.

In some places, there will be a salt department or a salt envoy department, and they are probably all among the ten people.

In addition, there is a professor from the ninth grade at the provincial level (the discipline is not in the grade), the state has a school, and the county has a teaching.

Of course, there are a few special departments such as herds, horses, etc., all of which are one or two people.

Local healers are not in the flow.

Chengdu here has the history of the palace chief, there are quite a lot of officials, there are left and right long history, the trial is positive, the trial is vice, the dining is (deputy), the shrine is (deputy), the treasure is (deputy), the good doctor is (deputy), the gong is (deputy), Ji Shan two people, and there are also books, music, ceremonies (deputy) companions, professors, ambassadors (deputy), quotation houses, etc., about 30 people.

The palace also has a guard division, which is usually about nine to ten people.

Therefore, the officials of the royal palace are the big heads, adding up to about 30 people.

In the whole of Chengdu, including the royal palace (the county officials below the prefectures did not come), there were high-level officials to the scene, and there were not more than 100 people, and then the local generals were added, and it was more than 100 people, and if the officials from the counties below were added, it would be about 200 people.

If there is no palace in the palace, the official military will reduce the yard by about half.

Of course, there are still some unqualified officials (including doctors, instructors) and officials who are not there, but these people have low salaries and few people, so they have little impact.

You have to think about the fact that in the future, there will be more than 100 officials in Chengdu, and there will be four or five hundred temporary workers, and they will be able to increase their wages by five times.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu is very confident in the salary increase of officials in the world.

More than 100 civil and military forces gathered together, and everyone looked at King Shu and Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was silent, quietly watching Zhu Gaoxu's performance, he still has a lot of confidence in his heart, he has always been popular in Chengdu, Chengdu civil and military officials respect him very much, Qu Neng has a good relationship with him, you Zhu Gaochu robbed my wealth so much, can others watch it?

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu stood up, walked to the front, and faced everyone.

Everyone looked at him.

"At the beginning of September, this king ordered the officials of the world to double their salaries, and the generals were about the same."

There was an uproar at the scene, because all the officials did not enjoy it.

The order has just arrived, and the implementation has not yet begun.

"As a result, when I arrived in Chengdu, I found that there was no implementation here."

Cao Yu, the new political envoy of Zuobu in Sichuan, hurriedly said: "Back to the Han King, it is the fault of the lower officials, who originally thought that it would be implemented next month." ”

"It's none of your business, this king now reiterates the fortune of all civil and military officials in Sichuan." Zhu Gaoxu said: "Everyone is on the official side, in addition to benefiting the people, they also need to support their families, no matter what, the court can't treat everyone badly." ”

"King Han is wise." Officials in the crowd immediately said excitedly, and many people also showed excited expressions on their faces.

"Since last month, the salaries of all civil officials have doubled on the original basis of the imperial court, and when the salary is paid this month, it is necessary to make up for the lack of the previous month, and the generals will calculate it separately, and it will definitely not be less."

The scene suddenly became noisy, like Zheng Kai, the chief of the palace, and others were also full of excitement.

"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Han." Cao Yu also said excitedly.

There was a sudden voice of gratitude all around, and everyone expressed their gratitude to King Han.

Zhu Gaoxu also said that in the future, each yamen will have a certain amount of entertainment expenses every year, which will be used to entertain superiors and people from Zhongyang, or colleagues from neighboring states and counties.

For example, each of the three divisions is 2,000 taels per year, the chief of the royal palace is also 2,000 taels, the honor and health division is 1,000 taels, the Chengdu government is 2,000 taels, and the following prefectures, prefectures, and counties range from 1,000 taels to 1,500 taels.

In addition, other incomes, such as the "Daoli fee" when officials take office, and the "plate fee" when local officials perform Hajj, are all doubled.

In addition, the income of various miscellaneous incomes such as 'firewood and silver', 'money-saving' and 'groom silver' has also doubled.

All of them have been doubled, and the officials on the scene are going to fry the pot when they hear it, if Zhu Di's soldiers and horses return to Chengdu tomorrow, they will see if they will do him.

Then there are still some officials in the various prefectures, such as government officials, etc., Zhu Gaoxu also said that the salary has doubled.

Chen Wen and Qu Neng were a little nervous, how much does King Han have to spend a year now? Is it enough for Annan to rob?

Zhu Chun watched coldly, Zhu Gaoxu did this, and the government expenses of the entire Chengdu were estimated to rise by more than 100,000 taels a year, who would pay for this money?

Is it difficult to call Lao Tzu out? You want to eat.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he said some words to the civil and military forces, and finally left the chief of the three divisions and the commanders of several guards in Chengdu, as well as the left and right officials of the palace and others, and the others let them go back first.

Everyone went back happily and spread the good news all over Chengdu, and soon spread to the states and counties outside Chengdu.

At this time, there were not many people left in the hall, and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, sat there quietly.

"Cao Yu" Zhu Gaoxu said at this time.

"The lower official is here."

"Starting tomorrow, this king will ask each of the five guards in Chengdu to send a thousand soldiers to help you, re-measure all the land in Chengdu Prefecture, and collect taxes by household."

The scene was in an uproar.

When Zhu Gaoxu talked about the tax collection standard, everyone looked at each other, but there was no violent reaction.

Only Zhu Chun was staring at Zhu Gaoxu, unable to believe that he dared to do this.

Because the families of the officials present basically did not have much land, most of them were within a few hundred acres, or even dozens of acres.

This will be the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the land annexation is not obvious, like the commander of the guard, the thousands of households, will not annex a large number of fields in the guard like the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"The wealthy businessmen of Chengdu Prefecture are not counted, among the large and small officials and military generals, the family has more than 1,000 acres of land, and the tax is temporarily 10%, but after five years, it must be paid according to the standard of this king."

Many people are silently evaluating the gains and losses.

Zhu Gaoxu is also settling an account for them.

For example, a thousand households or the same knowledge of the house, including Shi Zhengkai, the governor of the palace, are all positive five products, and the annual income is 192 stones, plus other seven, seven, eighty, and eight incomes, an average of 300 stones, and Zhu Gaoxu now doubles them for them, that is, it becomes 600 stones.

People of this level, in the late Ming Dynasty, usually owned thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land.

But now, most people don't even have 500 acres.

Suppose there are 1,000 mu with an annual output of two stones, and the tax is 200 stones.

It's still Zhu Gaoxu who added a lot of money to them.

Among them, there must be people who can't be drawn, and it is not as good as paying more, but there are still relatively few such people, and it may be that their own families are big families.

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty scholars do not pay taxes, this is not right, the Ming Dynasty has preferential exemptions, but they have to pay taxes, the Ming Dynasty Xiucai tax exemption of 80 acres, the lifting of people tax exemption of 400 acres, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the landed people mainly befriended the scholars, using their tax exemptions, tax evasion and tax evasion.

Now Zhu Gaoxu wants to lay the foundation in advance, whether it is a prince, an official, or a student, the rich will all be taxed.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is not much land in Dahuo now, it is easy to collect taxes, and when the land annexation is serious in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to collect it.

For example, now he gives more than 10,000 mu, which directly rises to 60% of the tax, and in the case of such a heavy tax, the tax weight must be considered in the future land annexation.

At this time, Cao Yu deliberately asked: "Do you also have to measure the fields in the Shu Wangfu?" ”

"All of them are taxed." Zhu Gaoxu said.

"You dare." Zhu Chun jumped up at this time and pointed at him angrily: "Zhu Gaoxu, you are so bold, this is the field that your imperial grandfather rewarded me, Daming Huangzhuang, you dare to collect taxes?" ”

"It's Zhu Yuanzhang's field, and Lao Tzu will also collect it." Zhu Gaoxu said angrily.

He called Zhu Yuanzhang's name, and the scene was dumbfounded.

"You-you-—— you're really unfilial-" Zhu Chun pointed at him and said in a trembling voice.

Zhu Di is right, you are not a filial son.

"Yang River." Zhu Gaoxu said at this time.

"The end will be." The Yang River appears.

"You take the five guards and horses of Chengdu to cooperate with Lord Cao, whoever dares to stop it, there will be no mercy."

"The tax period in summer and autumn every year is set for August and January, and those who do not pay it out of date will be chopped, chopped, chopped--" Zhu Gaoxu said a few words in a row, shocking the entire hall.

"The last general commands." Yanghe Road.

Hiss, Zhu Chun's face turned white, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu incredulously.

"You don't have to worry about killing boldly, no one needs to give him face, because all the officials and generals in Sichuan have to rely on these taxes, you can't collect them, how can the brothers support their families?"

What Zhu Gaoxu said is obvious, when the money and grain are collected, they will be paid.

"Don't worry, the last general still has to support his family, who doesn't pay taxes, the last general's knife will not be polite." Yang He smirked and pressed the knife in one hand.

"There's a kind of you killing your eleventh uncle first." Zhu Chun didn't believe in evil anymore and stood up sharply.

Zhu Gaoxu stared at him and said coldly: "Uncle Eleventh stumbled in front of the horse and was infected with a vicious disease, everything is possible, does Uncle Eleven really want to try?" ”

"Don't, the king." Qu Neng hurriedly persuaded Zhu Chun at this time.
