"Father, the son has something to say!"

Zhu Biao seemed to be reviewing the folds, but in fact, he secretly paid attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation to Mao Xiang, and when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Jinyiwei power, he didn't care so much, so he interrupted directly.

Just kidding, although Jin Yiwei has made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, he has also concocted crimes and killed many innocent officials.

Many honest and loyal people died at the hands of Jinyiwei.

If Zhu Yuanzhang gives Jinyiwei power in the trial of commercial taxation, Jinyiwei will concoct unjust cases in order to please Zhu Yuanzhang and show his ability.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at Zhu Biao, and somewhat guessed what Zhu Biao meant, but still smiled: "Biao'er, do you have any other opinions?"

"Father, the trial of commercial taxation will inevitably cause many problems. The purpose of the trial is to find out and find out those problems. Therefore, Erchen thought that it was enough to let Jinyiwei keep an eye on it, and there was no need to make a big move!" Zhu Biao put down his hand, stood up, and saluted solemnly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao for a moment, changed his words, and said with a smile: "Biao'er, what you said is extremely true. Do as you wish!"

"Mao Xiang ......"

"The minister is here!" Mao Xiang said busily.

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "What the prince said, can you hear clearly?"

"The minister heard clearly, and after the minister went down, he would do as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted!" Mao Xiang said seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and when he was about to let Mao Xiang go back, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, after the trial of commercial taxes tomorrow, Jinyiwei will still be staring at the reactions of officials and scholars in Yingtianfu."

"If there's anything out of the ordinary, report it in time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Speaking of this, Mao Xiang remembered one thing, and he didn't know whether to say it or not, so he hesitated.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and asked, "What? Anything else?"

"Back to the emperor, recently there was news from the secret pile of Jinyiwei, saying that many scholars, when they gathered to talk about poetry and books, had a lot of criticism of Lan Bin, the son of Yongchang Hou Lanyu."

Mao Xiang thought about it, but decided to report it truthfully, how to decide is the emperor's business, and if he doesn't report it, it's his own fault, and he can't help but say.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold all of a sudden, and he was keenly aware of what was going on, and said in a deep voice, "Criticize Lan Bin? What do you say about him?"

"I said a lot, saying that he was a minister, relying on the emperor's favor and trust, acting recklessly, brutalizing loyalty, etc." Mao Xiang replied.

Minister, mutilating Zhongliang? What a big charge.

They really took our words as a deaf ear, okay, okay!

Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly angry, but he said quietly on his face: "Can you find out who is slandering Lan Bin behind your back?"

"The emperor forgives the sin, but the minister has not found out!"

Speaking of this, Mao Xiang hurriedly confessed: "This demonic wind seems to have appeared suddenly, and it came out of nowhere!"

"Rubbish! I can't even find out this little thing, so what do we want you to do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

Mao Xiang kowtowed vigorously and said, "The minister's sin deserves death, please forgive the emperor!"

"But Chen Junbai and those protégés of Wang Cheng are fighting for them?" Zhu Biao interjected.

Mao Xiang shook his head: "The minister also thought so at the beginning, and specially asked people to investigate, but found that it was not they who did it."

Not them?

Could it be that Lan Bin has offended others?

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and muttered, "Mao Xiang, this matter, Jinyiwei must find out. But they can only visit secretly, not quietly."

"Obey!" Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said busily.

"Resignation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say much, waved his hand, Mao Xiang understood in seconds, saluted and withdrew from the palace.

After Mao Xiang left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked, "Biao'er, what do you think about this?"

"Erchen thinks that slandering Lan Bin behind his back is just a villain's behavior that can't be put on the stage, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhu Biao groaned.

Although Zhu Biao was very angry that those people were bold and didn't know what to do, he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of stimulating Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's not that he doesn't want to find those people out, it's that the court has just ended

The empty seal case is not long, and it can't stand the toss, and it should be Tianfu is about to try commercial tax again.

If you make a big move at this time, I am afraid that it will cause people to panic again, and they have no intention of doing things.

Then it will be the people of Dawn who will suffer.

"You don't have to speak for them, we're not old and confused, we can see clearly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and said unhappily: "Lan Bin's performance in the court is brave and strategic, not like Lan Yu's reckless man. They were amazed."

"I want to tarnish Lan Bin's reputation, let us drive Lan Bin away from our good grandson."

"Hmph, let's not do what they want, see what they can do!"

Zhu Biao was silent for a while, although he did not speak, he agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

It's just that identity is identity, and the things inside are very involved, and you can't easily express your attitude, let alone add fuel to the fire.

"Alright, get busy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and together with Zhu Biao, continued to tie himself in the fold pile and deal with the folds. ……

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang officially issued an invention decree to try out commercial tax within the scope of Yingtianfu, and the government of Yingtianfu and the subordinate counties and counties collected commercial tax on behalf of the government.

The tax rate is 30 tax 1, and large and small merchants are taxed according to the law.

At the same time, along with the holy decree, there were also tax collection provisions discussed by Zhu Yuanzhang and the six ministries.

There were constant discussions in the court, with supporters and opponents, but under the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang, no one dared to write and openly opposed the collection of commercial taxes.

is just secretly concerned about the collection of commercial tax in Tianfu, and is always ready to write a book.

When Lan Bin received this news, he even said three good words, and he had enough motivation to go to the main hall to study.

Don't look at Ying Tianfu's trial of commercial tax, it is just a small commercial tax pilot, but it is the first step to change the Ming Dynasty.

He believed that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang saw the benefits of collecting commercial tax, he would vigorously promote the collection of commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty.

Commercial taxes are up, and Daming will have money, and I dare not say that it can solve the financial dilemma of Daming at once, but in the long run, it will be able to alleviate Daming's finances.

After the Ming Dynasty, it may not perish because of lack of money to raise soldiers.

However, Lan Bin was happy, but he still had a little regret, that is, the commercial tax rate was set too low, thirty taxes and one, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is insignificant for some profiteering industries.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang has relented in commercial taxation, and there will be a long time in the future, so he has the opportunity to advise and increase the proportion of commercial tax rates.

In addition, in order to respond, Lan Bin supported the trial of commercial tax, and on the third day of the trial of commercial tax, he ordered Lan Wu to sort out the finances of the two workshops, find the Yamen of Yingtianfu, pay the commercial tax, and become the first workshop to pay taxes in Yingtianfu.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this move, in front of the civil and military officials, he praised it greatly, and when Lan Bin dined in the main hall at noon, he also specially rewarded Lan Bin with two dishes.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's praise did not bring Lan Bin a good reputation, but instead of bringing him a good reputation, there were more and more voices slandering him.

So much so that on Lan Bin's way back from school in the main hall every day, he could see scholars, and even some ordinary people, pointing at him and his carriage, and talking about him.
