"After the new fish scale atlas is compiled, the future taxes will be based on this, and the fields of the original gentry's house do not have to pay taxes, and the reason why it must be measured this time is to change this rule. From now on, regardless of other places, the imperial court paid taxes in Jiangnan only according to the fields.

According to the latest measurement results, the number of paddy fields and dry fields in a county is clear, and how much of them have been newly allocated land this year, so it is also clear, so that the tax payment in a county is also a fixed number, and occasionally there are some families who resolutely resist paying, and the difference is not large.

If you compare it with the original, the tax is borne by the people and the gentry together, and after the tax base increases, the tax ratio can be appropriately reduced, and the state tax is not all on the shoulders of the people, so that the tax can really be lightly paid. ”

It was Zhang Zilin who listened to the teachings by the emperor's side.

After this person entered Beijing, he was frequently summoned by the emperor, not because he won the emperor's heart several times, but for what?

In addition to him, Zhang Xuan is also there.

Zhu Houzhao is ready to use these two people, so his 'own thinking' can be discussed with them in advance.

Zhang Zilin pondered for a while and said, "Then Your Majesty also wants to order the suspension of gentry preferential treatment in Jiangnan?" ”

"Yes. The killings have been killed to this extent, and it is naturally in one step. Because of the expansion of the taxed acres, the tax in Jiangnan will surely increase next year, which can offset the negative impact on maritime trade, and at the same time, once stabilized, the tax ratio can be gradually reduced, and in a few years, the silver transaction will be universalized, and the tax can be unified in these places in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, the land tax and the Ding tax will be combined.

After the unification, on the one hand, it can prevent the loss of national taxes, on the other hand, it can lift the policy shackles of personnel flow, and finally unify the types of taxes, which can reduce the difficulty of tax collection, simplify the tax collection process, and improve the tax efficiency and the threshold and difficulty of corruption. As for the convenience brought to escort after the monetization of taxes, this is all a small section, not to mention. ”

Zhang Xuan had heard these words more or less, but Zhang Zilin heard them for the first time, he was greatly shocked and full of imagination, "Your Majesty has its own strategy in his heart, which really makes the old minister admire." ”

"Therefore, some people say that I act fiercely, and even compete with the people for profit, which is short-sighted. The follow-up reform is heavy, where is the delay? There will be no such thing as competing with the people for profit. But it's heavy, and I'm not worried, although the road is far, the line is coming. Jiangnan is a treasure land of the Ming Dynasty, many reforms will precede other regions, our monarchs and ministers must sort out here, once it is successful, a hundred years of prosperous Jiangnan is indispensable. ”

The matters that the Son of Heaven said are interlocking and inseparable, and the logic is very strong, not nonsense.

Zhang Xuan suggested: "This time, there are also a few officials in Jiangnan who have some knowledge, although they are of humble rank, but they understand the intentions of the imperial court, if Your Majesty takes the opportunity of the reward to summon people to Beijing, and then the minister and Zilin will talk to them again, these relationships will be straightened out, and things will be much easier to do." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded after thinking about it for a while, those who disobey the court will be punished and killed, and obedience to the court will naturally be rewarded and promoted.

This is called the way of reward and punishment.

Let's take a look at Zhang Xuan again...... It's a little early to be the first assistant, and his personality has too many edges and corners, which is a shortcoming, but it's enough to be a reformed elder.

This matter is mainly left to him, and it should not be a big problem.

……

……

Nanchang.

The riots in Jiangnan have not yet reached Nanchang, but there are many people from Jiangnan.

Some came from Suzhou, some from Songjiang, and some from Beijing and Nanjing......

So many people entered Nanchang, and some of them were specially recruited.

King Ning's attempt to restore the palace guards never worked, so he could only make friends with the water giants of the Poyang Lake generation and the Tujia mountain soldiers in the mountains of Guangxi, so that they thought they would respond.

The original preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, but it was the Jiangnan Rebellion in the eleventh year of Zhengde that brought them a big gift.

King Ning mainly had two strategists under him, named Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng.

Li Shishi is over 70 years old, and he is too old to do it.

However, King Ning has a bit of so-called little resourcefulness, and his level is slightly better than that of the original King of Anhua. Therefore, the convincing strategists are not ordinary. Li Shishi was born in Jinshi, and during the Hongzhi period, he was a high-ranking official like the squire of the Criminal Department, and later became an old man, and then he was included in the Ning Wangfu.

How exactly did you get convinced? Physical convincing.

At first, the old man didn't obey, so King Ning asked people to clean up their house, and the body was very honest in the back.

It stands to reason that Li Shi is really able to write articles and talk about reason, and he is especially famous for calligraphy, and has also been praised by Li Dongyang, he should be a clear stream person who repays the country with death, how can he seek rebellion from thieves, but this is not the case.

In fact, King Ning threw money everywhere to make friends with the powerful, all of which were his treacherous ideas.

is also good at power scheming, and he is old, and he often compares himself with Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang.

Another Liu Yang is from a lifting background, this guy took the initiative to come to the door and said to King Ning, you have me, which is equivalent to King Yan owning Yao Guangxiao back then!

What that means is self-explanatory.

These two people have a certain amount of scheming skills, and they can often think of them together on some issues, and they are very trusted by King Ning.

As an old man who has been studying for many years, Li Shishi can see the reason behind the Jiangnan Rebellion at a glance.

Especially when he saw that there were really people willing to run from Suzhou, Songjiang and other places to Nanchang, he gave King Ning an idea in the palace and said: "Emperor Zhengde dug his own foundation in the south of the Yangtze River, and let Liu Jin kill people, which is the way to die." Now, I heard that there are already families and people in Jiangnan who are spontaneously fighting against the imperial court, as long as the prince uses it, it will definitely become a big help! ”

Liu Yangzheng also felt that it was a godsend, "My subordinates have sent people to contact some local gentry, some of them are wanted by the imperial court, some of them are ruined, and they have formed a blood feud with the imperial court." The prince only needs to summon them and show them a reward, and he will surely win their hearts. The top priority at the moment is to settle these fleeing people, and second, to send people to do some rescue. There are many wealthy families in Jiangnan, and these people often have millions of family assets, as long as they get one or two, the money and silver have a source. ”

"Money is secondary, the key is people." Li Shishi stroked his white beard, "There is no shortage of scholars in these families, and there are many talented people among them, Emperor Zhengde will abandon them, and the prince can be recruited under his command." ”

King Ning was overjoyed when he heard this, "Not bad, not bad." In addition to people and wealth, there are also soldiers and horses, these people who fought against the court are brave and dead, in the past, they fought separately, if they can be used by the king, they may be able to form an army. ”

"The prince only needs to pay attention to the fact that these affairs must be carried out in secret and must not be known to the imperial court. Especially the governor of Jiangxi and others, they have always been against the prince. ”

King Ning's face turned ruthless, "One day I will kill them all to vent the hatred in the heart of this king!" ”

They speak in the midst of this, and there is not even one to serve, but they are to consult in secret.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the door,

There was a snap, and it was the sound of a tea bowl everywhere.

King Ning frowned, "Who?!" ”

After that, a beautiful and luxurious daughter appeared under the eaves of the porch at the door, "Lord Wang, it's a concubine." Just now the road was slippery, and I accidentally hit Jin'er, and I broke the soup specially boiled for the prince, so please punish the prince. ”

"It's Lou." King Ning's tone softened slightly, and then waved his hand, "This king doesn't drink any soup, this is a place for deliberations, don't come here at will in the future." ”

"Yes!"

"You," King Ning pointed to the maidservant beside the Lou family, "hurry up and clean up." ”

"The servant obeys."

Lou's is nothing, but this son of a ...... She was thin and fair-skinned, and looked like an ordinary little girl.

However, Li Shishi's eyes were misty, he just instinctively intuitively felt that King Ning's treatment of the people in the palace was not kind, and it was possible to beat, scold, or even kill.

This maid seems to be busy, but there is a sense of stability between a pair of eyebrows.

Relatively speaking, it is not normal.

But maybe it was Princess Ning's, so this thought flashed through and passed like this.

Moreover, Ning Wangfu itself has also screened people.

However, what he didn't expect was that there was a person who had already predetermined that Ning Fan would be opposed, so the spy had already been arranged.

Those who came from Suzhou and Songjiang called good news,

But the next day, bad news came.

After hearing this, King Ning panicked slightly, and hurriedly summoned two strategists to come to discuss, "Two gentlemen, I just received the news. The hateful governor of Jiangxi, Zheng Yu, participated in the king to the imperial court, and he should have listed some things. According to the current situation, the imperial court has not made a will. ”

Li Shishi took a sip of tea and said, "Since there is no will, it should be fine." The prince also made friends with a lot of people, they could say something, and Emperor Zhengde never listened to Zheng Yu's words. ”

"But Nanchang is here, Jinyiwei!"

King Ning showed them the little white note in his hand.

They also have their own eyeliner on the outside.

Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng glanced at each other, this matter is not simple, "How did you know?" ”

"Our people in Beijing reported it, and the commander of Jinyiwei made Mao Wenwen suddenly leave Beijing and come to Jiangxi."

"This is a little strange," Li Shishi immediately felt that something was wrong, "How can ordinary people know the whereabouts of the Jinyi Guard's commander?" Can the prince's people infiltrate the Jinyi Guard? ”

"Yes...... No. ”

"How do you know?"

"Sir, this is deliberately released."

Liu Yangzheng nodded, and felt so, "It should be deliberately let us know." ”

"It doesn't have to be for us."

"It may be just an overt action, or it may be a preparation for the Qingtian in Jiangxi. But...... The commander of Jinyiwei is coming to Jiangxi, but many of the prince's actions are restricted. ”

This news was indeed deliberately released by Mao Yuyu, and he was in accordance with the emperor's will to scare Ning Fan.

But that's not all...... He wanted to know what King Ning's reaction would be when he knew that the imperial court was coming to check on them......
