Chapter 41 Don't talk about short and long with fools, invite!

When Zhu Yunxi met Fang Xiaoru and the other three for the first time that day, he didn't know about it.

After all, when writing poems, Lao Zhu asked people to publish them immediately, and they spread very quickly.

The matter of commercial taxation, which involves the government and politics, is relatively much more complicated, and the release of news is also much slower.

"Hmm." Zhu Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty has just been established, and the treasury is not very abundant, and the imperial grandfather is heartbroken about this, I want to help accumulate more silver."

"No!"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

"Fourth brother, you are still young, where do you know about any national affairs."

"Mr. Fang has said that it is absolutely not feasible to increase the commercial tax and bring disaster to the country and the people."

The stooge's got another bad idea.

Zhu Yunxi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why not?" ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "The first thing in governing the country is virtue, and agriculture is the foundation. ”

"Businessmen are profitable, but they can understand what the world has or not."

"If heavy taxes are levied on merchants, it will make the flow of goods unsmooth, and it will increase the burden on the people."

"How can the imperial court compete with the people for profit?"

"The heavy taxation of commercial taxes is the maladministration of the previous dynasty."

"Light commercial tax and heavy agriculture, this is the moral policy of this dynasty."

"Sacrifice the original to seek the end, the gentleman does not take it."

"How can we abolish the virtuous government of our own dynasty and carry out the bad government of the previous dynasty?"

……

Zhu Yunxi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.

It is said that agriculture is the foundation, but the practice is to impose heavy taxes on "agriculture", which is the ...... That's great!

The imperial court does not levy commercial taxes and does not compete for profits, so where does the money in the treasury come from?

The salaries of the border soldiers, the salaries of the court officials, the construction of various national projects, the construction of roads, and water conservancy...... and even disaster relief in famine years......

Can a word of virtue be completely dispensed with?

It's really standing and talking without back pain!

"What about Mr. Huang and Mr. Qi's opinions?"

Zhu Yunxi did not answer his words, but asked the other two for their opinions.

Three stinkers, I don't know if there's a difference?

Are they all as pedantic as Fang Xiaoru?

Zhu Yunwen glanced at him and said: "Mr. Huang also has the same opinion, the world is decided, the imperial court should be healthy, light taxes, how can it increase commercial taxes, Mr. Huang is heartbroken, I can't bear to see it." ”

"You see, the gentlemen say so, then you must be the fourth brother, you are wrong." Zhu Yunwen spoke earnestly.

The corners of Zhu Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued to ask without giving up: "What did Mr. Qi say?" ”

"He ......" Zhu Yunwen hesitated, as if he didn't want to say it, but finally said it.

"Mr. Qi thinks that the national treasury is short of silver, and the imperial court uses troops against the Northern Yuan every year, which consumes a huge amount."

"Raising commercial taxes is not necessarily a good idea to enrich the national treasury, but it is necessary to be cautious and not to be in a hurry, so as not to hurt the hearts of the people."

Fortunately, there is finally a sober-minded one.

Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, Qi Tai was born as a capable official, and he knew the difference between Qing talk and practice.

The predicament of the imperial court is there, what is the use of not solving the problem, only knowing empty talk, slandering and high morality?

As for the significance of the increase in commercial taxes, he did not expect this group of people to see so far.

Zhu Yunwen added: "However, I don't think Mr. Qi is right. ”

"The treasury is tight, and the imperial court can also print treasure money."

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu issued an edict to set up a treasure banknote lifting division, which set up two bureaus of banknote paper and banknote printing, and printed "Daming Pass Treasure Banknote".

In recent years, because of too much printing, the currency has depreciated severely, and the purchasing power has shrunk significantly.

Zhu Yunwen said in a serious tone: "Collecting business taxes and competing with the people for profits is detrimental to the virtue of the imperial court. ”

"Fourth brother, your suggestion is really wrong, hurry up and go to Grandpa Shuhuang and let him take back his life."

Printing money to solve the financial crisis, and then depreciating the currency into gold yuan?

You're so smart!

Zhu Yunxi blinked and said with a smile: "Second brother, you think too highly of me!" ”

"Where is such a national event that I can decide as a child."

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and said, "But this matter was proposed by the letter, and the imperial grandfather still loves you very much." ”

"That's not going to be such an important thing." Zhu Yunxi smiled: "I just casually proposed, how the imperial court should do it, but it is different." ”

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while and felt that what he said also made sense.

The imperial grandfather will not take a child's proposal to heart, most of them have already had a heart, and just push the boat with the current.

This was also the general opinion of several gentlemen and ministers of the imperial court.

This matter has been published in the Di newspaper, so that the ministers can discuss it, and they will not easily accept his ideal of a seven-year-old doll.

"That's it, anyway, if the emperor's grandfather asks you again in the future, you will say that collecting business taxes will damage the image of the court's benevolence and morality, and will endanger the stability of the world.

"Great!" Zhu Yunxi agreed very neatly.

has dealt with Zhu Yunwen a lot, and he has slowly figured out the other party's temperament.

As long as you follow his temperament first, no matter what you do, you should inherit it, and then talk about it with clever words afterwards, you can get by.

Therefore, no matter what Zhu Yunwen said, he agreed.

Anyway, if you say yes, it doesn't necessarily count.

He is a seven-year-old doll, and he has not yet reached the age of legal responsibility, isn't it normal that his words don't count?

When asked, there are always reasons to quibble.

"It's not too early, I should go into the palace to see the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunxi didn't want to continue talking with Zhu Yunxi, so he made an excuse and prepared to slip away.

Although it is a brother and a brother, the relationship is deep, and the scene is warm, but he has dealt with the old fox a lot, and Zhu Yunxi always feels that he can't stay with the "fool" for too long.

If you stay too long, you will be unconsciously pulled to the same level by a fool, and lose your vigilance when dealing with the old fox.

"Hmm!" Zhu Yunwen nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said: "The matter of commercial taxes, the imperial grandfather only ordered the courtiers to discuss, and did not issue an edict. ”

"I plan to work with Mr. Huang and several ministers to discourage this matter, what do you think?"

He also didn't understand why he would talk to Zhu Yunxi about it.

Seems to be eager to hear his advice.

Unconsciously, Zhu Yunwen gradually felt that although the fourth brother was young, his mind was almost the same as that of an adult.

Even better.

Although sometimes, they will play with the nature of children.

"Very good!" Zhu Yunxi agreed: "Grandpa Huang will be very pleased to see you so loyal to the country." ”

It would be great if the book could make Lao Zhu scold you and change his mind about making you the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Yunxi silently added in his heart.

"Do you think so too?" Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed and said, "I've been hesitating, for fear of making the emperor's grandfather angry." Since even you said yes, it's settled. ”

I just want you to him off, and that's good for you!

Zhu Yunxi got up and was about to leave, and just after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi say behind his back: "By the way, the fourth uncle sent someone here today to ask when you will be free, and we will go hunting on horseback together." ”

"I'll be free tomorrow." Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but be overjoyed and cheered.

There is really too little entertainment in this world.

Even if he is the grandson of the emperor and the nobles of the sky, it is still the same.

Although there are many beautiful palace maids around him.

But he is still only seven years old, and his heart is powerless, so he can only sigh in vain.

It's nice to be able to go out and hunt on horseback.

You can also get closer to the relationship with the Yongle Emperor by the way, and lay a good foundation for being a free prince in the future, why not?

"You have to be careful of the fourth uncle!" Zhu Yunwen said: "I always feel that he is uneasy about his good intentions, maybe he wants to grab the position of the prince." ”

"Got it!" Zhu Yunxi's crisp and immature response.

He was about to run away, but he heard a low voice behind him: "Daddy is gone, the position of the prince should be mine." Whoever stands in my way, I want him to die, whoever it is...... Whoever ......"

Zhu Yunxi turned his head sharply.

saw Zhu Yunwen clenching his fist with one hand and holding a teacup with the other, his eyes were red and his face was hideous.

His body shook, and he suddenly realized that he was wrong, and I am afraid that it is necessary to get to know his brother again.

People have many sides, warmth and affection, but only his side.

So, what about the other side of him?

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him deeply, then quickly turned his head, his footsteps did not stop, and he ran happily all the way.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs chased them out in a panic.

"Your Royal Highness, be careful, don't fall."
