Things have come to this point, and some people are starting to get anxious.

If it goes on like this, the more land you have, the greater the possibility of smashing your hands.

Sell!

Sell at a reduced price!

As a result, the land price continued to decline, and by the time the tooth shop closed in the evening, the cheapest was already five taels and five dollars per acre.

Liu San stayed in the city all day, and there were many times when he had the opportunity to buy land, but he didn't buy it. He is waiting, waiting for the price to drop again. Perhaps, eight taels of silver can buy two acres of fertile land?

Capital

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen, who had just had dinner, was listening to Tian Ergeng's report.

"Withdraw all the people below and don't show up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You've worked hard these days, go back and rest early. By the way, a batch of mink skins has just arrived at the Global Trade side, you go and choose a few and bring them back to the female rolls at home. There are also five grains, carry two pieces back and drink them. The following people will be rewarded, and I will give you ten thousand taels of silver, and those who have lost money by selling their land, they will make up for them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tian Ergeng thanked him excitedly, and the hard work of the past few days was swept away.

When it comes to his position and family background, he really doesn't care much about these things. But what does Your Majesty's reward represent? It's a grace! Whether it's wine, or whether it's a shoulder, there are all kinds of excellent products sold around the world. Let's not talk about the price, we are rewarded by His Majesty, so you have to spend money honestly to buy it.

Think about it, your woman goes out with a couple of wives.

"Yo, Mrs. Tian, your ermine is so good-looking, did you buy it from Universal?"

At this time, your woman should raise her white neck slightly, with six points of calmness, three points of pride, and one point of reserve, and say, "I didn't spend any money, Your Majesty rewarded our master."

This is forced to come up all of a sudden? When you go home, you can't wait?

So, follow Your Majesty, it's one word: cool!

Get fame and profit without taking any risks.

As long as you can do things and can do things, your Majesty's reward is indispensable up and down. This is a comfort that you don't have to accept a few filial piety money from other people's casinos and prostitution houses?

10,000 taels, the people below are not happy?

Small flags, total flags, 100 households, 1,000 households, up and down, everyone can share a lot. The treatment is so good, how can you not be loyal to Your Majesty.

After Tian Ergeng left, Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said to Wang Chengen on the side.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, long live."

"Okay, Ming'er will add another fire to them."

Zhu Youzhen got up and stretched, said a word with a smile and went to sleep.

Early the next morning

Outside the palace, the officials who were waiting to enter the palace were in groups at the gate of the palace, gathering together and cooing

"What is Your Majesty's intention, and whether you are sure to implement a ladder of taxation, today's court meeting must find out."

"Yes, this has caused a huge shock, and it can't go on like this. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster."

"If Your Majesty really has such an idea, we must find a way to stop him."

….

"If Your Majesty has made up his mind, how can he stop it? I'm afraid it's useless to die in the main hall, right?"

"Alas, I don't know what the cabinet elders want."

"Who knows, these days, several pavilion elders are all closed to customers. I don't know what they're thinking."

"Ahh

In the end, everyone didn't discuss why.

Today's saints are obviously not casually able to change their minds with a few words, just take the officials in the court, the disobedient officials have basically changed. Its danger level is even greater than that of the two ancestors, but no one can say why

Come on. Why? For those who did not obey were either killed or exiled to the fields of Luzon.

What kind of resignation, dead advice, people don't care about you at all. If you want to quit, you will resign, and if you want to die, you will die. A lot of people are willing to take your place, and the sun will still rise normally the next day after death, in short, the officials up and down are all a part of the chariot of the Ming Dynasty, if it doesn't work, it will be replaced, and if it is broken, it will be replaced.

Even sometimes some officials think in their hearts that this is the emperor of the Eight Classics.

Winter, winter, winter

The drum on the tower of the city gate was beaten, and then the palace gate began to open slowly, and the hundred officials stopped whispering and walked in line to the palace.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Youzhen was late, sitting on the dragon chair and staring at the hundred officials below expressionlessly.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." Wang Chengen shouted at the top of his voice according to the usual practice.

Then the officials began to take turns to come forward, each reporting his own business.

After two quarters of an hour, the process was over.

"Do you have anything to do? If it's all right, then retreat."

Silent.

There must be something. The question is who speaks first. If it causes His Majesty's dissatisfaction and eats it, wouldn't it be a loss? It's nothing if there is less land at home, the official is gone, but there is really nothing.

But no matter what time it is, there is no shortage of people with iron heads.

A royal historian surnamed Cao gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the market recently that Your Majesty is going to implement a ladder tax, and many people are panicking and have begun to sell their land. Land prices have plummeted again and again, and if this continues, I am afraid it will cause turmoil!"

"Oh? What turmoil?"

"The fields are abandoned, the prices of goods are skyrocketing, the people are struggling to make a living, and finally there are wars!"

"So serious!?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Fields are the foundation of people's livelihood, if the people find that their fields are not only worthless, but also have to pay a huge amount of land taxes, will they continue to cultivate? If the people don't continue farming, the consequences will be severe!"

"So, this tiered taxation policy can't be implemented?"

Zhu Youzhen leaned forward, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

the groove.

Those who are familiar with Zhu Youzhen know that they are going to suffer, which is a sign of His Majesty's anger.

"Never!"

"Hmm. What's your name?"

"Minister, Cao Lizhong."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, took a notebook from Wang Chengen's hand, and began to flip it up.

"Oh, Cao Lizhong, I found it. A person from Fengcheng, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, and has been farming for generations. His brother Cao Lijing has a lot of money, more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, and dozens of shops..."

There was silence in the hall, and only Zhu Youzhen's calm voice echoed in the hall.

"Cao Yushi, your family is in good shape. I don't know what your brother Cao Lijing has to get rich, and he can save a huge family business in just over ten years? Is Tian Ergeng here?"

"The minister is here!"

"Send someone to Cao Yushi's house to learn from the scriptures, and learn from others how to make a fortune quickly!"

"Obey!"

Looking at Cao Lizhong again, his face was already bloodless, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't know what to say.

"Do you have anything to do?"

Zhu Youzhen scanned everyone, but no one spoke.

"If not, the king, the edict."
