"With just your few tricks, we Daming would rather be poor than rich!"

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran away!

What is this special way to call it?

This little bastard really dares to say it!

As soon as you open your mouth, you will raise the business tax!

If you little bastard don't know the tax system of the Yuan Dynasty, do you want me to tell you?

Although the Tartar Imperial Court took advantage of this, it did get a lot of oil and water from those merchants!

But the wool comes out of the sheep, where do you think the silver comes from, the merchants?

In the end, don't you want the poor people to pay?

After I ascended the throne, I made great efforts to reduce the commercial tax so much and turned it into a thirty-one tax, not only because I didn't look down on that bit of silver, but the main reason was that I was afraid that the things of the Yuan Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the past, and those merchants would once again reach out to the poor people!

Don't I know what those black-hearted businessmen are doing?

The court will add one point to them, and they will dare to pass it on to the poor people!

These lowly businessmen, for the sake of profit, do everything they can, unscrupulous means, and even sell the rope sleeve used to hang them!

As for the second one, listen to the name!

Is there a bit of a taste of the king of merchants?

A whip?

It is obvious that the common people dare not pay taxes, or the taxes they pay are not enough, and they will be directly whipped to serve!

I have created so many criminal laws, but they are not for the poor people, they are all for those corrupt officials!

If you little bastard only had these methods, then I'd rather our Ming Dynasty would always be a poor jingle!

As long as the people live a good life, I don't care!

"Xunzi has said that the monarch is also a boat; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. ”

"The fall of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the officials forced the people to rebel! If the imperial court pays heavy taxes, the common people will rise up sooner or later! ”

"How long has the Yuan Dynasty been extinct? Could it be that Fang Gongzi wants to see our Ming Dynasty become the Yuan Dynasty? The people were displaced, they couldn't eat, and finally they rose up, wars broke out, the people were struggling to make a living, the lives were devastated, and the corpses were floating for hundreds of miles? ”

Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang go away, but Lao Li also looked extremely puzzled at this time, and couldn't help but ask.

Although Lao Li is also a member of the cabinet, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate purpose, the purpose is to check and balance Wu Lin, basically he is just a name, and he has nothing to do on weekdays, so when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming to Zhu Ying, he immediately followed him.

But Lao Li didn't expect that it would be so long since they met?

Messed up with Your Majesty again!

His Majesty has gone berserk, if he doesn't go along with it, he will be the one who suffers!

"I wish the boss what he said makes sense!"

"Uncle has a point!"

The size of the two hundred and five immediately echoed.

At this time, they completely incarnated as the sand monk in "Journey to the West", and there was only one sentence in their mouths, that is, whoever said it right, even if it was not right, then they had to say that they were right!

If the team stands right, a small life can last for a long time!

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to him before you make up your mind! The old man felt that the son would not be untargeted, and he must have his deep intentions. ”

But in a group of people, Lao Liu suddenly sang the opposite tune and actually stood on Zhu Ying's side.

As the leader of the ministry, only a few days after he took office, he encountered a shocking case like Guo Huan's case.

At this time, the Ministry of Officials was called a miserable one, caught and chopped, and the Ministry of Officials, one of the six departments, was now only three people left.

In addition to him, there are two squires, three people every day you look at me, I look at him, and he looks at you!

There are a few hairs on the other party's face, and they are almost finished!

Looking at it again, Lao Liu felt like he was going to vomit!

Therefore, I am very happy to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang, come to Zhu Ying to have some good tea to drink, and see Zhu Ying pretending to be forced, no matter how you look at it, it is much better than staying in the Ministry to see those two bad old men!

But Lao Liu didn't expect that this son and His Majesty were incompatible?

Why did they fight each other as soon as they met?

If you don't be a peacemaker, wouldn't your ass be hot yet, and you have to go back to the ministry to count your hair?

"It's superficial, isn't it?"

"Old Zhutou, my son is too lazy to talk about you! I just praised you twice, saying that you are much calmer, and your true nature was immediately exposed! ”

"If you don't want your old face, Ben Gongzi doesn't mind, but if you have to pull Ben Gongzi on his back, it will be too much!"

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate at all, and opened directly!

Lao Zhutou is still so breathless!

didn't say anything, this old wisher was anxious, and he didn't know that he thought it was you tomorrow?

You said that you are not Emperor Hongwu, why are you in a hurry?

It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!

"Then you can explain to me what you have to do to raise taxes and prevent those profiteers from passing them on to the poor people?"

"Also, what kind of whip do you mean? Whipped without paying taxes? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry.

If this little bastard says something else, just scare it, Xiuying's sister has told me not to be as knowledgeable as this little bastard when I'm old.

But this special Yuan Dynasty has only been destroyed for a few days?

The tax system of the Yuan Dynasty harmed the common people a lot!

I've seen it myself!

"Hear me clearly!"

Zhu Ying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with disdain.

This old wish, who came out of the same place as His Majesty, sure enough, it is really a person who is raised by water and soil, and even his temperament and personality are so similar!

"Number one, you're making a common-sense mistake! That is, the pricing strategy of the merchant on the commodity has no absolute relationship with the level of tax you charge, and it will not depend on it! ”

"They will not increase the price because the court tax is low, on the contrary, they will not increase the price because the court tax is high!"

"On the contrary, because the imperial court's taxes are too low, their profits are higher, and those windfall profits are all in the pockets of merchants."

"Therefore, if the commercial tax is raised, a part of the profits will go into the treasury of the imperial court!"

"The imperial court can completely take it from the people and use it for the people!"

Zhu Ying explained lightly.

Of course, when taxes become higher, the price of goods will naturally rise, which is the law of the market!

But if the tax is low, even if you don't collect any tax, the merchant will still increase the price of those goods that are in demand.

During the Hongwu period, this tax system, no matter which dynasty it was compared with, was extremely low.

However, the arrival of the Xiaoice River period caused those profiteers to hoard goods, especially grain, and the price rose all the way, cutting the leeks of the common people, and there was no mercy at all!

For capitalists, no matter what era they put in, they have no conscience!

Look at Pan Ranran, don't talk about conscience, their family doesn't even want face, they just cash out and run away!

If Pan Ranran's family is shameless, Lao Li will directly expose his ass to the outside as a face, cash out, run away, transfer assets, etc., etc., can be directly nailed to the Chinese pillar of shame and never turn over!

During the Xiaoice River period, those traitors thought that the imperial court's taxes were so low, so that they would not increase prices and treat the people well?

In the eyes of capitalists, how much is a pound of conscience?

Dogs don't want anything, they only have money in their eyes!

So they're not even as good as dogs!

Zhu Ying's voice landed, and Lao Liu was the first to nod.

Emperor Hongwu can do anything, but he underestimated the nature of merchants to pursue profits!

"The Ming Dynasty has just been founded for more than ten years, and during the founding period of all dynasties, it was all lightly taxed! Only then can the people not be exploited, and can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

"Your Majesty cares about the people of the dawn of the world, not only is the business tax extremely low, but even the Ding tax has been directly canceled! Why do you want to return to bad habits when they come to your mouth? ”

Lao Li was still puzzled and resolutely retorted.

There is no way, the tax system of Daming was finally finalized after I stayed up with His Majesty for countless nights!

If you follow Fang Gongzi's words, wouldn't it be Your Majesty and his Lao Li who were slapped in the face together?

What's more, this was finalized with reference to the tax systems of previous dynasties.

For example, the rule of Wenjing of the Han Dynasty, and the rule of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, are basically this set of combination punches!

Practice brings out the truth, it is precisely because of low taxes that a dynasty can recuperate and regain its strength as soon as possible!

"It's superficial, isn't it?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Lao Li suddenly tightened his chrysanthemum!

"Lao Li, your knowledge is really a bit insufficient! The Han Dynasty has the rule of Wenjing, and the Tang Dynasty has the rule of Zhenguan, all because of light taxation, which is indeed true! ”

"But you turned a blind eye to the founding of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, could it be that you haven't read the history books?"

"What's more, the Song Dynasty, whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the high taxes, it would have been over a long time ago!"

"But the people of the Song Dynasty, did they say that life was not good?"

Zhu Ying looked at Li Shanchang with disdain and said slowly.

"You ......"

Lao Li was defeated in an instant, and was speechless by Zhu Yingyi!

Damn!

I forgot!

Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian is simply cutting something else!

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, not only did not have the light taxation of the past dynasties, but against those gentry and wealthy families, it was a sudden attack, and they all wanted to raid their homes, and the tax of the gentry and wealthy families was called an unprecedented!

But if you look at the Sui Dynasty, not only did it not run out because of heavy taxes, but in a short period of time, the country's comprehensive strength rose rapidly, becoming one of the few prosperous eras in Chinese history!

Not only did the population grow exponentially, but the grain in the treasury could not be eaten at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty!

Let's take a look at the prosperity of Tang Xuanzong, which is basically the same as Yang Jian's founding prosperity!

After Li Longji became the emperor, he also began to attack those gentry gates!

Of course, the result is similar to Yang Jian, not only did the country not collapse because of this, but its strength also improved by leaps and bounds!

Even more than that, the grain in the treasury was too much to eat, and even those copper coins were stored for too long, causing the strings to rot.

The Song Dynasty in the back, not to mention!

You look at the "Qingming Riverside Map", between the markets, it is called a lively and extraordinary!

Although the Song Dynasty was very cowardly, it was the first in China in terms of business!

It was precisely because of the large amount of commercial taxes that the Song Dynasty was able to survive the Battle of Yashan under the condition of paying tribute and paying indemnities!

"Is there nothing to say?"

Zhu Ying glanced at Lao Li with disdain, making you stink!

Makes you scared?

Seeing Lao Li defeated, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly blushed.

"I'm confused!"

"Why is it that in the area of taxation, light taxation also has a prosperous era, and heavy taxation can also be prosperous? What the hell is going on? ”

After listening to Zhu Ying, Liu Bowen was dumbfounded!

In these examples, the time between the prosperous era created by Yang Jian, and the reign of Zhenguan and the prosperous era of Kaiyuan is not too long.

But it is clear that the tax models of the three are very different!

Although the taxation model is different, the result is the same, that is, they have made the country rich and become a prosperous era in China.

What the hell is going on?

"It's not complicated to say, after all, the way they collect taxes is completely according to local conditions, according to different situations at that time, to adopt different methods."

Zhu Ying took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Then tell me, what's going on?"

The big two hundred and five blue jade couldn't help but urge.

Lan Yu wasn't very interested in these, he was completely because he was an anxious person, and when he saw Zhu Ying slowly sipping tea there, he was anxious and uncomfortable!

What's more, even if Zhu Ying finished explaining, he might not be able to understand it.

"Okay, I heard you!"

Zhu Ying put down the teacup and cleared her throat!

It's time to pretend!

Zhu Ying stood up, slowly walked to the table, and then stretched out a hand towards Zhu Yuanzhang without looking back!

What for?

After Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a short time, he came back to his senses, did this little bastard let himself study ink for him?

Damn!

This little bastard is simply getting more and more excessive!

How dare I study ink for him?

Do you believe it or not......

That's it!

I endured it, who made me want to be rich?

Who is going to have trouble with money?

Sister Xiuying has already told me not to be as knowledgeable as this little bastard at my age!

I listened to Xiuying's sister.

Zhu Yuanzhang held back his anger and turned his head to look at Lao Li and Lao Liu beside him!

Do you both have eyes that are full of breath?

Does this little bastard need someone to grind ink and can't see it?

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him, Lao Li and Lao Liu were suddenly dumbfounded!

Top dog!

Your face is face, isn't our face face?

We're also old men in our seventies and eighties, you let us go and study ink on his teenage doll, this has been passed out, why are we still messing around?

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a mysterious smile.

You're right!

My face is face, your face is not face, do you want face or head?

It's enough for me to save face, don't ask for it!

You're the boss!

You have your say!

Lao Li sighed, looked at Lao Liu, who was buttoning his nails on the side, and had to run over to Zhu Ying to study ink in hatred.

That's it!

The prince can do this errand, and there is no shame in my old Li doing it!

Besides, in terms of age, isn't Wu Yuannian of the Tai Hospital older than himself?

People can crush boulders on their chests and split cement with one hand, just to serve this little bastard!

I admit it!

I just don't know what's going on, but all of a sudden, I miss my son a little!

Taking the pen from Lao Li's hand, Zhu Ying sighed, this group of people is really undertrained, and they are so grinding and chirping to study ink, you look at Xiao Zhu, and then look at Lao Wu, which one is not better than you?

Lao Li endured the feeling of aggrieved and handed Zhu Yingyan a pen to ink, but he was still despised by Zhu Ying, and suddenly his son's thoughts were like a river bursting the embankment, becoming more and more violent!

Xiao Lizi, Xiao Qi'er, I miss you very much for my father, and I am waiting for my father to go back at home!

Zhu Ying took the pen, stopped talking nonsense, and directly wrote and explained at the same time.

"This tax model is different, all because of the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong and the Song Dynasty, their specific circumstances at that time were completely different."

"In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the princes were in a scuffle, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the early days of the Han Dynasty, and when it came to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it was basically a bare-bones commander, not to mention the tinkling of poverty, the dynasty was even more riddled with holes, and Tang Taizong's situation was not much different from them."

"In this case, the emperor is poor and white, let alone the common people, it is good to have enough to eat. Social resources and wealth are basically in the hands of those gentry and gatekeepers. ”

"At this time, as an emperor, whether it is a heavy tax on the common people or a heavy tax on the gentry and gatekeepers, there is only one consequence, that is, forcing them to rebel!"

"At this time, the only thing the court can do is to stabilize the gentry gate valve first, obtain the support of the gentry gate valve, and then let the people get a chance to breathe, recuperate, and the court itself can take a breath."

"After two or three waves of the emperor changed, the common people basically eased up, and the court became stronger, now is the time to do something to those gentry valves, at this time, those gentry gates no matter how much the court collects taxes, they have no ability to make trouble, so they can't help but not pay!"

Zhu Ying explained slowly.

In history, after the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan, the next emperor, whether it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, had one word for those gentry and gate valves, hard!

If you are obedient, you will continue to be a dog, and if you are disobedient, you will be served directly with a stick.

Although Tang Gaozong's reputation in history was not good, he slept with his stepmother, and married the extremely responsible one after sleeping, he didn't have any opinions at all, and in the end even the throne was replaced by his wife.

But this view is extremely one-sided.

Throughout the history of China, there are only a handful of emperors as strong as Tang Gaozong.

The peak of the Tang Dynasty's territory was made by him, not to mention, even those five surnames and seven wangs who had been scared for a long time were directly crushed by Tang Gaozong and became lost dogs!

Although Wu Zetian is the only female emperor in Chinese history (Empress Dowager Cixi is a fart, she is a garbage traitor!) But when Tang Gaozong was in power, Wu Zetian was also a role to play and never dared to overstep.

The reason why Li Zhi's reputation is so bad is because of the great negative impact of the film and television dramas of later generations, and the other is that Wu Zetian is too legendary, and he happens to be his wife Li Zhi.

Therefore, people who don't know history, no matter how they think about it, they think that this Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ten wives are strict!

After the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Wu Zetian ascended the throne as the emperor, and still resolutely implemented her husband Li Zhi's concept of governing the country, and took tough measures to crack down on those gentry and gate lords!

By the time Tang Xuanzong Li Longji ascended the throne as emperor, those gentry had long lost their minions and thorns, in addition to the fat oil, as for social status and their own strength, they were basically scum.

At this time, the gentry gate valve is tantamount to raising a pig for a whole year, if you don't kill it for a good year, what are you doing with it?

So Tang Xuanzong Li Longji slashed a few so easily, these few knives went down, and the knife was directly critted, with one knife 999, and the treasury was filled in an instant.

"Got it!"

"Enlightened!"

"No wonder Yang Jian dared to make a move against those gentry gates! It turns out that there are still these twists and turns! ”

When Lao Liu heard this, he instantly woke up.

Even the problems that I had not figured out before were easily solved at this time.

Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, what is his origin?

That's the important minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

It belongs to the camp of the gentry gatekeepers, not to mention that he still has military power in his hands, and he is also the most powerful soldier!

This kind of person becomes an emperor, and he will naturally not be at peace with other gentry and door valves.

Your fists are not as hard as Lao Tzu's, and your identity is not as noble as Lao Tzu!

Are you jumping with a hammer?

Do you believe it or not?

Boss, we believe it!

What?

Don't you believe me?

Good!

Pay some money first, Lao Tzu will collect taxes, this is your only chance to show your loyalty!

You don't pay?

Okay, then Lao Tzu will practice with you, and the whole family who loses will be buried with you, and the assets will be confiscated!

Do you think it's good?

When encountering an emperor like Yang Jian, who is better than you, those gentry had to be obediently washed, stretched their necks, and waited to be slaughtered!

When Yang Jian ascended the throne as emperor, the population of the country was only more than 3 million.

By the time Yang Guang ascended the throne as emperor, the population of the country had almost tripled, and although it had not yet broken the 10 million level, it was almost the same.

In addition to the benefits of recuperation, a considerable part of it was hidden by those gentry gates, and under Yang Jian's fist, they were all handed over in the end.

Of course, Yang Jian didn't just do it to his own people.

In the history of China, there were two times when the power of the country was poured into destroying a country, and one of them was the Sui Dynasty!

"So, what do you mean by that Daming should also do something to those gentry gates?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's violent symptoms have been cured, and his face is excited!

I can't do it!

But if you're talking about the gentry gatekeeper, I love it too much!

That's how it should be!

Whoever has the money, we will look for whoever wants it!

Who has more money!

Let's have more!

Hurry up, tell me!

What the hell is the pitfall?

No, what is the tax law?

I can't wait!

"Old Zhutou, why are you in a hurry? The road has to be walked step by step, the wine has to be drunk one bite at a time, the steps are big, clicking, and it is easy to pull the eggs! ”
