The test is just around the corner.

Su Che couldn't help but think, how to solve it?

In the history he knows.

Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly angry because of this incident, and the officials didn't take it too seriously at first, because everyone did this, as the so-called law does not blame the public, you can't do everything of us, right?

If the other emperors were to be left alone, they might really turn a blind eye to it.

But it's a pity that they ran into Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yuanzhang is a rare generation of heroes, he knows very well what he is doing, and what he does is actually trying to solve a fundamental institutional dilemma faced by the Ming Dynasty, that is, the contradiction between the formal system and the informal system.

As far as the empty seal case is concerned, the Ming court needs a formal financial system to accurately collect local data, if you are allowed to fill in indiscriminately, and the data reported layer by layer are problematic, then the imperial court will lose control over the entire country.

After the empty seal case, taken in Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife, under the rolling head, the big guy was finally honest.

But the problem is that if you can't solve the problem, but instead solve the person who has the problem, in essence, it is to cure the root cause.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, blank Kumonai became popular again, and all efforts would still be in vain, and the countless blood shed for this was in vain after all.

In the second half of Zhu Yuanzhang's life, he did a lot of earth-shattering things.

But the effect is worse than the other.

Even most of the things backfire.

No matter how hard Zhu Yuanzhang tries, the final result, as well as the entire historical trajectory, is like joking with him.

So.

Killing, of course, can kill a pleasure, but it can't solve the problem.

Su Che thought for a long time, and finally raised his eyes slightly, "Call us Zhan Hui, Zheng Shiyuan, and Han Yi." ”

Not long ago, Lao Zhu abolished the imperial history platform and set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The main duties of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are to correct civil and military officials, identify wrongs, and supervise subordinate departments.

These people are all the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and if there is such a big problem at this moment, of course they are duty-bound.

Not long after, Zhan Hui, Zheng Shiyuan, and Han Yi came to Su Che.

After the three of them saluted, they waited for His Majesty the Emperor to speak.

And Su Che didn't talk nonsense, knocked on the table, and asked the eunuch to hand the empty book to these imperial histories.

The first to be handed to Zheng Shiyuan was handed to him, and Han Yi on the side couldn't help but look sideways.

These two were deeply impressed in Lao Zhu's memory.

In the early days of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang personally appointed Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike, two imperial historians, which can be said to have high hopes for them, hoping that they could find out more big and important cases to deter corruption.

And these two people did find out a lot of big cases.

For example, Zhu Huan of Dingyuan Zhi County is Zhu Yuanzhang's "imperial nephew", during his tenure, he expropriated and extorted money, bent the law for bribes, robbed people's daughters, and did all kinds of evil, but because he was related to the emperor, no one dared to denounce him.

Zheng Shiyuan, the superintendent of the imperial history, reported Zhu Huan's illegality to Zhu Yuanzhang, and in the end, the evidence was conclusive and he was sentenced to death.

But Zhu Huan's father once saved Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to spare Zhu Huan's life.

However, Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike argued with reason, and in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang still executed the emperor's nephew.

The later heroes Zhu Liangzu, Shangshu Kaiji, Qin Sheng, the household servant, Ouyang Lun and others were all found out by the supervision of the imperial history to be true evidence.

At this moment, when these two people saw this empty printed account book, they couldn't help but shrink their pupils, and their faces instantly became extremely ugly.

Apparently, the two of them knew what it was......

Empty Printed Ledger!

The ledger is empty, but the big seal can't be faked, with a very pure official spirit!

Whether it is Zheng Shiyuan or Han Yi, they are very clear why there is such an empty book.

For the sake of convenience, all localities continued the unspoken rules of the Yuan Dynasty, and everyone secretly used it very tacitly, united up and down, and concealed the news together, and it has been concealed until now.

But who would have thought that this ledger would appear in the hands of the emperor!

Zhan Hui on the side didn't know what was going on, he glanced at the account book in the hands of the two people, obviously there was nothing, why were their faces so ugly?

Soon, when the ledger came to Zhan Hui's hand, he immediately looked through it, it was an empty ledger, but there was an official seal printed on it.

This is...... Empty print!!

There was no doubt that Zhan Hui's face quickly became extremely ugly.

The three of them fell silent for a moment.

"Why don't you speak?"

Su Che's tone was very indifferent.

"Your Majesty...... Where did you get this ledger from? Zheng Shiyuan also tried to maneuver around, trying to "explain" this matter clearly.

"What do you say?" Su Che sneered and asked directly: "If I hadn't discovered this kind of thing, would it have been like this all along?" Are you going to use this method to deceive me for the rest of your life? ”

"Your Majesty, this is the old custom of the previous dynasty, because there is no explicit prohibition, and the so-called law does not prohibit it, so it is understandable that the officials below have followed this method, but even so, this is still a problem, if Your Majesty wants to deal with it, please also make a decree, if you use the empty seal again, immediately pursue it......" Han Yi hurriedly said, he also tried to make the culpability of this matter less serious.

Most people don't think it's a problem, and think it's one of the unspoken rules of officialdom, so they never care about it.

If you really check it, the number of people involved is really too much!

"What is this called the old habits of the previous dynasty, this is called the old disadvantages of the former dynasty!" Su Che asked: "This big seal is printed directly, the loss will be lost at will, the account book will be filled in at will, the national account book and the local account book are completely incompatible, such a serious matter, do you really think it is insignificant?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them immediately bowed their heads in fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Su Che continued: "Anger? You said, this matter has been hidden for more than ten years, how long do you plan to hide it from me? Do you keep it hidden? ”

"It's not bullying, what is it?"

"The picture is convenient, so use an empty print?"

"Is it really because it's convenient?"

The mouth of a civil official, a deceitful ghost.

The excuse is high-sounding, but the thing you do is extremely dirty.

If you really say it is for convenience, it is to fool others as children.

Lao Zhu didn't believe it, and Su Che didn't believe it even more.

However, he didn't plan to kill because of this.

At this moment, the three of them lay on the ground, trembling, and they didn't dare to come out, let alone speak.

Su Che looked at the three of them and said lightly: "I know the dirt in this, you don't need to explain or argue anything. ”

"The official word has two mouths, you can swallow the national fat on your back, swallow the people's ointment, and you can also protect the country and feed the people."

"Officials are inseparable from the governance of the world, but if you think that you are irreplaceable, you are very wrong."

"My original plan was to kill all the financial officials in charge of the ledger in this world."

"Since you think this is an old habit of the previous dynasty and an unspoken rule of officialdom, then I will kill all of you, and replace them with a cleaner batch."

"As long as you change some cleaner hands and feet, people who don't have this habit, won't they?"

"You say yes?"

As soon as these words came out, the murderous intent was revealed.

The bodies of the three people lying on the ground trembled constantly.

Because they realized that His Majesty was not joking, and that he really intended to do so!

At this moment, in a trance, they seemed to see human heads rolling, blood flowing like rivers, implicating countless people, guilty and innocent, lined up to be sent to the court, and all of them were cut off from that good head!

Is this the scene that is about to happen?

Especially Zheng Shiyuan, in a trance, it seems that he can see that he is implicated and imprisoned!

It felt so real, as if it was about to happen.

The three of them are clear.

This is an omen.

It's something that the Son of Heaven is about to do, and really could happen.

It's not that they're daydreaming!

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel numb on their scalps, and goosebumps all over their bodies rose.

Su Che looked at the reactions of the few people in front of him, his face expressionless.

The reason why the three of them were able to see these was because Su Che let them see this, everything that could really happen, let them know the seriousness of this matter, and how terrifying the consequences were!

But.

That was Zhu Yuanzhang's approach, although he killed a cool person, but Su Che wouldn't do that.

Su Che said slowly: "Although I will do this, I am not ready to do this. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like the drowning man finally surfaced and the condemned prisoner was released at the last moment, Zhan Hui, Zheng Shiyuan, and Han Yi were shocked, and they were finally able to breathe, and they shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!" Your Majesty!! ”

Su Che ignored their compliments and continued:

"You have some truth in what you said, this kind of thing is not explicitly prohibited, but you are also wrong, there are some things that cannot be done without prohibition by law."

"As an official, you should not wander on the edge of this illegality, this is not what an official should do!"

"Since there is no such decree, then from today onwards, there will be this decree."

"From now on, no alteration is allowed in the ledger, let alone printing and then writing."

"Forge the account book, empty the account book, and make a decision! No mercy!! ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them didn't dare to refute it, and hurriedly said yes.

They know very well that if they dare to refute it at this time, then this matter really will not end.

However, there are also people with iron heads, such as Zheng Shiyuan, he gritted his teeth and still asked:

"Your Majesty...... During transportation, the loss of spiritual rice, how to do it? ”

This is the essence of the problem.

If this can't be solved, then the problem is still not solved, it's not a book ban, and then it's safe, and the loss on the way is inevitable, if this is not solved, then the problem still exists.

As soon as these words came out, the other two subconsciously glanced at Zheng Shiyuan, this look was very helpless, Your Majesty has already planned to reveal it, why do you still want to chase it???

Now it's just a matter of putting it off!

This matter can be solved later.

It's better not to talk about it now!

But Zheng Shiyuan is obviously a dead eye!

The two looked cautiously at His Majesty the Emperor and found that His Majesty did not seem to be angry.

In fact, Zheng Shiyuan didn't talk about this problem, Su Che also planned to talk about it, if the problem was not solved, the problem would still exist.

Su Che said slowly: "From now on, all Lingmi taxes will be subject to a whip law. ”

"All land levies, forced labor, and other miscellaneous taxes are all in one piece, and they are combined to collect treasure money!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Hui, Zheng Shiyuan, and Han Yi raised their heads in shock.

Tax reform!

Moreover, it is not the spirit stone, spirit silver, and spirit gold that are collected together, but the treasure money printed by the imperial court!

What does this mean?

According to the past practice, Zhu Yuanzhang frantically printed treasure money and used this thing as money to spend, but if others used treasure money to offset the account, he would be a million unhappy.

This is a typical double standard, and it is this behavior that makes the treasure banknote gradually lose its credibility and the foundation of circulation.

In Su Che's opinion, this is really a good hand of cards, such a good thing as treasure money, you can release water crazily, why not use it?

Therefore, Su Che directly made the decision to build a new monetary system around the treasure banknote.

This is the case with many things in the world, and with money, everything will be much easier to do.

Even the emperor is no exception.

In the eyes of many people, the world belongs to the emperor, and the emperor must be the richest person in the world and the most lacking in money.

But in fact, the emperor is indeed very rich, but it would be a big mistake to say that the emperor is not short of money.

On the contrary, the emperor is the most money-poor person in the world.

In order to solve the financial crisis, various means have been available since ancient times.

For example, the emperor took the lead in frugal spending.

Another example is the manufacture of straight 15 baht, big money as thousands, and even treasure money.

They all used the way of harvesting leeks in exchange for the income of the imperial court.

At this moment, Su Che wants to carry out tax reform, combining land levies, forced labor, and other miscellaneous taxes into one, and collecting all treasure money, which is very bold, and the slightest carelessness will collapse the economy.

However, risks and benefits always coexist.

Once completed, Daming's finances will be alleviated like never before, and many things can be done.

So instead of sitting back and waiting, Su Che chose to go on an adventure!

As soon as this policy is introduced, the value of the treasure banknote will skyrocket.

And the essence of money is a general equivalent.

As long as the treasure money completely replaces the common currencies such as spirit stones and spirit gold.

The treasure money will be no different from those things!

This is Su Che's first move!

A whip law, financial reform!

The former reforms all existing taxes.

The latter, on the other hand, directly changed the monetary system.

These are two bombshells!

Previously.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, the tax system was inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties.

This set of taxation system is mainly based on the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Atlas.

There was nothing wrong with it at first.

On the one hand, the imperial court vigorously supported the common people in the reclamation of wasteland and tuntian, and on the other hand, it reduced the levy of forced labor and taxes, and cooperated with certain industrial and commercial policies to promote economic development, so that the economy damaged by the war quickly stabilized and everything flourished.

But here's the thing.

As time passed, more and more gentry began to reduce taxes and forced labor through various means, which made the tax burden of ordinary people heavier and heavier.

Some bureaucrats and doctors have neither to pay taxes to the state nor to bear forced labor, so that the tax collection is becoming more and more uneven.

At this moment, Su Che implemented a whip law, which came from Zhang Juzheng's reform, and Su Che made a change in this and joined the currency reform!

He wants to make these two policies a national policy!

And it's the kind of national policy that the law of the ancestors cannot be changed!

At this moment, Su Che finished speaking.

Above the sky, a vision suddenly appeared!

The thunder dragon surged, roared one after another, the wind and rain were shaking, and the sky and the earth changed color.

In the wind and rain, the sun is still above the sky, and there is a white rainbow through the sun!
