The fire of Cochin burned again.

The people of Yunnan are no longer surprised by this incident, and even welcome it very much.

The reason is simple, just two words: resources.

Although the losses in Yunnan were not small because of the war with Chen Jikuo for many years, and the population did not reach the point of saturation, for the common people, a large number of people moved to Jiaozhi and vacated a large amount of land.

In the long run, this is a good thing for them, at least they don't have to worry about their children and grandchildren not having land to plant, although they are still a little far away, but who doesn't want to see good changes?

If you want to say that Mu Sheng is also reckless, as soon as the Han King's edict and holy decree are changed, Mu Sheng will no longer have any worries, and he will dare to do anything.

There is no way to effectively control the fire, so when he fought with Chen Jikuo before, the fire not only burned Jiaozhi, but also suffered heavy losses in Nanzhang, but the Cham country did not suffer much loss because of the river.

The loss of the Cham country is not big, and it is really not worth provoking a killing god, so he didn't speak, and Nanzhang simply didn't speak because of Zhu Zhan's previous boat entry into the Lancang River.

This time, the Siam and Nanzhang combined forces of 140,000 troops, but they were frightened back by Mu Sheng's 30,000 troops, who kept driving them out of the area affected by the previous fire, and then set them on fire.

Aim straight to the place where the palm is still intact.

Zhu Zhanyan, who returned to Yunnan, was already stunned when he heard the news.

He thought that the Mu family would become more obedient to him under the urging of that edict and holy decree, but he didn't expect Mu Sheng to reach the standard in one step, and even exceeded the quota.

You know, Zhu Zhanyan is not ready to start setting fires, because he is waiting for a reason, a reason that will justify him to attack Siam and Nanzhang.

Now, the reason is not enough, Mu Sheng rushed up?

However, it wasn't just the news that surprised Zhu Zhanyan.

"What's that?" Zhu Zhanyan looked at his father in surprise, and subconsciously plucked out his ears, as if he didn't hear clearly just now.

"Isn't that a good thing? What are you so surprised for? Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand.

In his opinion, the implementation of the law of apportionment into the mu proposed by his son must be undoubtedly a good thing, and he didn't even think much about it.

This is a habit that has been cultivated by his trust in his son over the past six years.

"A good thing is a good thing, but for now, it's not a good thing." Zhu Zhanyan smiled.

When he was in the Great Guras, the old man gave an order to change the tax system, and now a month and a half have passed, and the news has spread, and it has even been implemented.

You know, this kind of thing has to be raided, if the interval is long, it won't take long, ten days and eight days can make those officials think of all kinds of ways to exploit loopholes.

For example, the biggest gap right now.

"You just haven't thought about it, the loopholes in this are too obvious, in fact, you can understand it with a little thought."

Zhu Zhanyan's original intention was not to be sarcastic, but after saying this, even if he didn't mean that, it was a little wrong.

However, fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu has long been used to it and does not care.

"What vulnerability? Isn't it a good thing to increase taxes and reduce the pressure on the people? What vulnerabilities can there be? ”

"If you don't say that I advised you not to fight with your uncle, you really can't fight him, mainly because you don't want to use your brain."

Zhu Zhanyan smiled and sent the old man to Yunnan in an expedited manner, but he couldn't see the excerpt because he was in Da Gu Ra Si and took it.

"The people had land in their hands, and that was in the period not long after the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao, and later as the Ming Dynasty gradually stabilized, money began to slowly transfer to the hands of merchants and officials."

"The lack of money, coupled with the bad intentions of officials and merchants, eventually led to the land being slowly bought by them, and the people became tenants."

"And in our Daming, the gentry don't need to pay taxes."

Listening to Zhu Zhanyu's analysis, Zhu Gaoxu woke up like a dream.

Indeed, this is the biggest loophole, and the introduction of the apportionment method without solving the problem of the gentry not having to pay taxes will only lead to an increase in the taxes paid by the merchants.

The common people basically had no land in their hands, so there was basically no need to pay taxes; The gentry had much more land in their hands than the merchants, but they were also not required to pay taxes.

The end result was a significant reduction in tax revenues in the Ming Dynasty.

"You gave the advice, so you should have a follow-up solution, right? Otherwise, how could your grandfather have listened to your advice and implemented this tax system? ”

After using his brain, Zhu Gaoxu's brain also brightened up and reacted quickly.

"Let me think about it, is it through the incident of Chen Ge and Huang Huai participating in your indiscriminate killing in the Japanese Kingdom, to dispose of those civil officials who talk nonsense in one fell swoop, and play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, and then abolishing the rule that the official gentry do not need to pay taxes?"

"That's right." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and put down the fold in his hand.

"Huang Huai's matter is just the beginning, and it is only the practice of some people, after all, there are hundreds of people in the early dynasty, it is impossible to make such a decision because of a dozen officials, if it is really like what you said, then grandpa is too hasty."

"Grandpa's main reliance is three."

"First, I killed a lot of Southeast Sea merchants by fornicating with the Japanese Bandits, and it can be said that there are not many people left in the entire Southeast Sea group, but there is a big problem left behind."

"Huang Huai is a cabinet scholar, and he had contact with those Southeast China Sea at the beginning, although he broke off quickly and cleanly at that time, but Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian."

"At that time, my grandfather was about to go north, and there could not be too much turmoil within the imperial court, so this matter was temporarily suppressed."

"Now the situation is stable, although our Ming Dynasty is still fighting against the Japanese Kingdom and the current Siam Nanzhang, but grandpa and uncle are in charge of Yingtian, even if there is turmoil, there will be no problem."

"Second, Iwami Ginzan and my seizures in the Wa Kingdom."

"The annual output of Iwami Silver Mountain is equivalent to one to two percent of my tax revenue next year, plus my seizures in the Japanese country are not hidden, and they are all handed over to my grandfather."

"You know, Iwami Silver Mountain has been mined for a hundred years before this, so there is no shortage of silver in the Wa Kingdom, which is also the reason why silver is mostly in their tribute in previous years."

"Iwami Silver Mountain plus those seizures, plus the fact that a part of the tax can still be collected every year, so even if the civil officials are in turmoil, Daming will not worry about money."

"Third, the countermeasures of the scholars' protests."

"You haven't forgotten what year it is, have you? In the year of Yiwei, the imperial examination was to be held. ”

"Previously, because of the two methods of passing the test and making up for it on time, the heads of the officials were already equivalent to hanging a sharp sword, and this year there will be at least more than 100 scholars, who dare to make trouble, grandpa will dare to change them!"

"If it's still troublesome, grandpa will dare to pull out his saber!"

"Don't look at the literati's mouths full of truths day by day, and even open and close their mouths to be martyred without regrets, and their names will be left in history, but in fact, they are the ones who are most afraid of death."

"In the past, my grandfather was worried that if there were too many civilian officials, the scholars would protest and eventually lead to a gap in the reserve of officials in the DPRK and China, but now?"

"After the implementation of the immediate supplement, those original substitutes are eyeing each other, waiting for the opportunity to take the position, and now it is happening with a large number of poor scholars, even if they want to make trouble, can they make trouble?"

After speaking, Zhu Zhan took a sip of tea.

Speaking of this, he is the happiest, after all, I don't know how many times those civil officials have stumbled him openly and secretly, and now seeing that the ladder under the feet of the civil officials has been removed, he is naturally the happiest.

"Listen to what you say...... Zhu Gaoxu's brain domain development is still limited, and this kind of problem that is too complex and involves too many aspects is still not suitable for him.

"Don't think about this kind of thing, it's not for you, at least not for you now, you better wait until you get used to it."

Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, he didn't expect his father to understand thoroughly.

"What you have to do now is to work with the Qianning Royal Mansion to get the Yunnan side done first, compared to the grandfather's side, Yunnan wants to implement a new tax system is still very simple."

"What!?" Zhu Gaoxu was completely shocked at this moment.

"Have you read what your grandfather's edict says? He almost said that Yunnan does not need to use the new tax system at the same time as the imperial court, and you still have to do it? And you have to start with it? ”

"It's nature." Zhu Zhanyan did not hesitate.

"If Grandpa didn't mention this, then I'm not in a hurry, but now that Grandpa has mentioned it, then we must put it in place, and we must be the first to put it in place!"

"You are a vassal king, and you are already a vassal king, and it is because you have privileges that other vassal kings do not have, so you can't leave any control for others."

"Now that grandpa is still there, he can still hold it down as an old man, have you ever thought that grandpa is gone, and when the uncle ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne?"

Zhu Zhanyan's words made Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sober up.

He is like this, to put it mildly, he belongs to the kind of person who is rampant when he is willing, and he is easy to get carried away when he is rampant.

The current Zhu Gaoxu is a bit in this state.

Since coming to Yunnan, under Zhu Zhanyu's actions, Yunnan can be said to be a very dazzling existence in the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, which inevitably makes Zhu Gaoxu a little floating.

"Okay, I don't care about this kind of thing, you and the Mu family just do it." Zhu Zhanyan stood up as he spoke, ready to go back to sleep.

The feeling of long-distance riding, especially long-distance horseback riding, is really uncomfortable, and the body is tired and painful.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Gaoxu was called back to his soul by his son.

"There are two people you need to deal with."

"Processing?" Zhu Zhanyan didn't react at once.

"Who else needs me to deal with, can't I let Zhu Heng go?"

……

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son speechlessly, he once felt that his son had become stupid after killing too many people.

"I'm afraid that the person I'm talking about can't handle it like this, because the first person is called Hu Sui, and he is the youngest son of Hu Guang before."

"The second person is even worse, because he is the stepson of Jin Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, if you really deal with it, then even our grandfather will have to pack up and run for his life."
