Chapter 14: The prince came forward to ask Lin Che for pardon

"'Spread into acres',? The officials and gentry are one errand and one food'? ”

Zhu Fan's expression was obviously stagnant.

He had never heard such a term, and the whole person was stunned.

In a secret room separated by a wall.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also looked at each other, and their eyes were full of doubt.

Seeing that Zhu Fan didn't understand the meaning of 'spreading the ding into the mu' and 'the officials and gentry are on an errand and paying for grain as one'.

Lin Che poured himself a glass of wine and explained unhurriedly:

"'Spreading into the mu', also known as the unity of the land and the land, is the system of merging the Ding silver into the field and collecting taxes."

"To put it simply, the peasants no longer have to pay the poll tax, that is, the peasants pay as much tax as they have on the land."

"The officials and gentry are all on errands, and they are all paid for food" means that the officials and gentry must also serve and pay taxes just like the common people.

"Once these two systems are implemented, they will break the privileges of the gentry and fill the depression of obligations."

"Thus the gentry will have nowhere to hide the population and the nominal land through the privileges of the gentry."

"In this way, can you imagine how much more revenue the Daming treasury will have?"

"More importantly, we will completely draw wages from the bottom of the kettle to alleviate social contradictions."

Lin Che looked at Zhu Fan scratching his ears and cheeks, looking dazed.

He knew that what he had said today was a bit too much of the mark.

Today's talk of 'spreading the land into the mu' and 'the officials and gentry are on an errand and pay for grain as one' are policies that emerged hundreds of years later, and they are not within the control of this noble second generation.

But he knew someone could understand.

Sure enough—

The secret room next door.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also changed their complexions.

The surprise in his eyes was the same.

Long.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses from his thoughts and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"This son is really a god, and he can come up with such a clever plan."

Different from Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and soon understood the deep meaning.

Lin Che's land reform and the reform of the tax system are the fundamental solutions to the economic and social contradictions in the Ming Dynasty.

The land of the whole country will be re-measured, and at the same time, the household registration will be thoroughly checked.

He thought about it.

Only by re-measuring the land and thoroughly checking the household registration can we find out the most real situation at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty.

What Lin Che said coincided with his own thinking.

The reason why it was not implemented.

It is because the Ming Dynasty was founded not long ago, and the state affairs were complicated.

The remnants of the Northern Yuan in the north have not been extinguished, and the king of Liang in the south has been ready to move.

However, re-measuring land and checking household registration involves too much scope and too much work.

In the court, with the gradual decline of Zhedong Group, Huaixi Group is dominant.

The imperial court is about to become a hall of words for the Huaixi people.

Seeing that the power of Zhongshu Province is getting bigger and bigger.

Hu Weiyong, with the support of the Huaixi nobles headed by Li Shanchang, controlled the government.

Repeatedly disagrees with oneself on major decision-making issues.

I just took advantage of this incident to beat Huaixi Group well.

It's just—

This 'spread the land into the mu', 'the officials and gentry are on an errand and pay for the grain in one', he had never heard of it before.

How did this guy's head grow?

Strange terms are endless.

'Spread the land into the acre', 'The officials and gentry are all on errands, and they are all in one for grain, although he has not heard of it.

But after Lin Che's explanation.

Lao Zhu immediately felt that this policy was very practical.

It can be regarded as a good medicine for solving the current problem of land annexation.

I think that when he formulated the policy of subsidizing public land, he considered it one-sidedly.

He didn't expect that doing so would lead to land annexation later.

And this land annexation is intensifying.

There is a great need to shake the foundation of taxation in the Ming Dynasty.

If Lin Che's two suggestions are adopted, it will perfectly close the loophole in the public land subsidy tax policy.

It not only lightens the burden on the peasants, puts a stop to the trend of land annexation, but also greatly increases the national tax revenue.

It's a lot of work.

Recording Shan Zhu Biao on the side, he also stopped his pen and thought thoughtfully.

He didn't think as thoroughly as his father, but he also realized a lot.

For Lin Che's profound knowledge, he admires the five-body throw.

Now it seems that the countermeasures I said yesterday can only be said to be too superficial.

Although it has some effect on land annexation, it cannot go to its roots.

And Lin Che's strategy of 'spreading the ding into the mu' and 'the official gentry are on an errand and the grain is paid as one', which directly hit the nail on the head.

Solve the problem of land annexation at the root.

It's a miracle.

This is a godsend, and Mr. is really a man of God!

Zhu Biao secretly admired in his heart.

At this time, Lao Zhu spoke:

"Boss, what do you think of Lin Che's idea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the chair, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked towards Zhu Biao.

The torches on the walls swayed and made a 'crackling' sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang's figure was like a big mountain, and he pressed towards Zhu Biao, who was sitting there to record.

"Father, the sons and daughters thought that Lin Che was young, but he was old enough to seek the country, and the strategies he planned were all rare good strategies for governing the country."

"Such a worldly talent, if it can be used by my father, why worry that my Ming Guozuo can't last for a long time?"

"The son begs his father to issue an order to pardon Lin Che and boldly use it."

Zhu Biao put down his pen, got up from the chair, and bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has asked Zhu Biao to study government affairs since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Hongwu six years' order to the current political affairs, and the crown prince disposed, after the access. ’

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao full authority to handle political affairs, and the minister's twists and turns were handled by the prince and reported to the emperor.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's deliberate training, Zhu Biao has developed extremely skilled political ability and political vision.

The strategy proposed by Lin Che to deal with land annexation made Zhu Biao feel bright.

Lin Che's idea, even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't come up with it.

Even Liu Bowen, who was known as the first strategist of the Ming Dynasty before, was afraid that he would bow down in the face of Lin Che, who was full of scheming.

How can such a worldly talent succumb to the edict.

Killed, it's even more tyrannical!

For a while, the heart of cherishing talents suddenly rose.

Zhu Biao sent Lao Zhu to kneel down, and he also wanted to save Lin Che.

Hear that.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp eyes fell on Zhu Biao's body for a long time.

After being silent, Zhu Yuanzhang looked away and said:

"Don't jump to conclusions just yet!"

"Whether this person is a talent in the world or a crazy life on paper, we have to investigate further."

Seeing the excitement on the face of the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have too many expressions.

"However, we can pardon him for the crime of deceitful and disrespectful."

"Are you satisfied?"

Zhu Biao listened to it, and then smiled.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, those who could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to stop killing were not only Queen Ma, but also the crown prince Zhu Biao.

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

"Congratulations to my father and the emperor for having another good minister, and I will make the country last for a long time."

"My father lost his rule, Mr. Berwyn, and now he has to be a talented man in the world, Mr. Lin, this is..."

Without waiting for Zhu Biao to finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him with a serious face.

"Don't brag about it yet, let's say forgive him for his great disrespect."

"I didn't say... Let him enter the court as an official. ”

"Boss, it can't be too simple to think about the way of the king."

"As an emperor, you don't just do what you want, you have to balance all aspects of the relationship."

"You'll understand later!"

With a gloomy gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang moved his gaze to the wall, and a pair of deep eyes seemed to penetrate the wall of the secret room.
