"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very true!"

Lan Bin said, "But everything is difficult at the beginning, and at the beginning, it is not necessary to organize the examination of officials and soldiers. We can take advantage of this opportunity to solve the commercial tax trial problem."

"From various yamen of the imperial court, some officials were transferred to form the tax bureau. Specialized in the collection of commercial taxes."

"This is not only a test for the officials, but also a mouthpiece for the court officials. If the officials can take care of the collection of commercial taxes, they will prove their ability."

"The emperor can take advantage of the situation to propose to select cadres from the officials and soldiers to enrich the yamen. If the officials fail to live up to the emperor's grace, the emperor can say nothing."

"As long as the emperor does not issue an edict to announce that he will organize officials and soldiers to take the examination to become officials, the court officials will know about it, and they will be helpless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood Lan Bin's deep meaning, and he didn't have time to speak.

Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang's move, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, your suggestion is good. But have you considered it, the trial of commercial tax is a major event for the imperial court."

"How can the officials of the imperial court allow such a major matter as the trial of commercial taxation to be handled by a group of officials?"

"How can you allow the imperial court to form a new yamen for those officials?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he pressed the impulse in his heart and looked at Lan Bin again, wanting to see how Lan Bin solved this problem.

"The minister has also considered this matter!"

Lan Bin smiled, "If the imperial court officials disagree, you can divide Ying Tianfu into two, and one part will be selected from the imperial court officials to collect taxes. Some of them chose men from among the officials to collect taxes."

"The two sides will compare and judge the winners and losers based on the results of commercial tax collection."

"Cousin, you just believe that you can take on a great responsibility?" Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, a little suspicious.

Lan Bin's proposal left him speechless.

I believe that when it is brought to the court, even if the court officials are angry, it is not unacceptable.

But he didn't understand where Lan Bin got the confidence to believe so much that he could take on a big responsibility.

It really puzzled him.

Lan Bin looked at Zhu Biao and hesitated, "His Royal Highness the Prince, can the minister tell the truth?"

"Naturally, I want you to tell the truth!" Zhu Biao's face darkened, what does this mean? Co-author, you still want to fool me?

Lan Bin looked at Zhu Biao, then at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a sneer: "Actually, the minister does not believe that the officials can take on great responsibilities, but the ministers think that the people in the groups such as the officials and soldiers have talents."

"They're just missing a chance!"

Don't look at the low status of the ancient officials, in fact, they are the backbone of each yamen. Many things in the yamen were done through their hands.

Especially in the local yamen, except for the county commander, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant are officials, all other positions are officials.

Without the assistance of the officials, the three officials of the local yamen would not be able to play even if they had great abilities.

What's more, among the ancient readers, there was no shortage of pedantic and sour Confucians who read and read stupidly.

When this kind of person arrives in the locality, he can't do anything except two sentences. It's all supported by the officials.

Of course, the most important thing is that picking people from the group of officials is a victory in itself.

Regardless of whether the officials lost or won in the end, the entire group of officials has entered Zhu Yuanzhang's field of vision.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was not moved this time and did not take his suggestion, the next time the court is short of people and crazy, he will definitely think of the usual neglected groups such as officials and soldiers.

"Cousin..." Zhu Biao frowned, just as he was about to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a final decision: "Okay, try it first according to Lan Bin's suggestion, let's keep an eye on it, and if there is a problem, you can stop it in time!"

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Biao said helplessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Bin and said, "Lan Bin boy, we promised you the right to play before, not an ornament. Later, you find that there is a problem with the trial of commercial taxation, or anything in the imperial court. You can play it directly."

"You don't have to look for any evidence. What needs to be checked, we will let Jinyiwei check. bright

Is it white?"

"Father, this is not appropriate, my cousin is Wuxun, not Yanguan. Allowing him the right to do things is against the laws of the imperial court!" Zhu Biao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said.

Lan Bin didn't expect this stubble, but after listening to Zhu Biao's words, he realized that the right of Zhu Yuanzhang to play was really the right to hear. Except that he didn't wear the robe of the imperial historian, in terms of power alone, he was almost the same as the official.

After he is a dignified and noble, how can he do something to make small reports.

In particular, those speech officials are literati, and they are the same kind as other officials in the imperial court, and the speech officials make small reports, which is a struggle within their literati. And he is a nobleman, holding the right to hear about the news, to make a small report.

I am afraid that I will be besieged by the civil officials of the imperial court.

How can you ask for this kind of hot potato?

Thinking about it, Lan Bin followed, "Yes! Your Majesty, Your Minister...!"

"Did we talk about Xu Lanbin's right to hear about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a glare. ap.

Father, aren't you cheating?

You didn't say that you would let Lan Bin hear about it, but what you mean, isn't it just a wind story?

It's just not explicit.

Zhu Biao was choked, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Father, you..."

"Alright, that's it! It's not a matter of discussion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Lan Bin, you step back first!" The tiered tax rate and the selection of officials will be determined when we think about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister retires!"

Lan Bin saluted, and just after exiting the hall, he suddenly remembered something, pulled the corners of his mouth, and came to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao again.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was just about to discuss the ladder tax rate with Zhu Biao and the selection of Xu officials, was slightly stunned when he saw Lan Bin coming back at first glance, and said in surprise: "Why are you back again? Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to restore his life!"

Lan Bin saluted and said, "Last time, the minister boasted in front of the emperor, and after he was ready, he showed the emperor how to reduce the proportion of wounded soldiers killed. Now that the minister is ready, he also asks the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move to the Beijing camp for wounded soldiers."

"Rong Chen is the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, demonstrate one or two!"

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to discuss with Zhu Biao about the trial of commercial taxation, which could reduce the proportion of wounded soldiers and deaths, which was also a big deal. And Lan Bin was invited after such a long time, which shows that Lan Bin has spent a lot of effort to prepare for this matter.

If he didn't go, Lan Bin wasted a lot of hard work, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, let's go with you and see how you can reduce the proportion of wounded soldiers who die!"

"Biao'er, you come with us!"

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Biao had known about this for a long time, and he was also very curious, and he was as good as a stream.

"Thank you for your grace!"

Lan Bin was overjoyed and saluted again.

Half an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao changed into civilian clothes, went out of the palace with Lan Bin, and came to Beijing under the secret protection of Jinyiwei.
