But.

Zhu Fan immediately thought.

If his father was older, he would suddenly become as stupid as Tang Xuanzong.

Wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be about to face a catastrophe in an instant?

Zhu Fan remembered that in the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, the eunuchs were so domineering that they cut down two emperors!

Thinking about it like this, Zhu Fan became worried again.

"Because the power of the eunuch's relatives comes quickly, in order to ensure that they sit in the official position for a longer period of time."

"They will advance and attack the ministers of the DPRK and China who will threaten their position."

"It's like Liu Xuan, a great Confucian of the Sui Dynasty, he was slandered by powerful eunuchs, and in addition to the court, this is because of his high reputation, and there are not a few other ministers who were directly killed."

Lin Che picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

While drinking tea, he waited for Zhu Fan to understand what he had just said.

After a while, they talked again.

"So compared to the accumulation of these unorganized forces, it is the imperial court that can really accumulate things!"

Hear the words.

Zhu Zhang's refreshing gaze began to blink again.

"Let's put it this way, the accumulation of the imperial court mainly lies in taxes."

"Generally, in the early years of the dynasty, the politics were clear, and the world was in ruins, so the proportion of taxes was relatively small."

"But as the court has more and more things to do, and corrupt officials also pay taxes, the court must raise taxes if it wants to do things and maintain its rule!"

"There's an interesting set of data"

"The taxes collected at the end of a dynasty."

"Compared with the early years of the dynasty, it will be at least seven times higher."

"But the total amount of taxes in the hands of the imperial court is lower than in the early years of the dynasty!"

"Why."

"It's the whole power structure, it's rotten."

"Corrupt officials are rampant, putting nine-tenths of the tax revenue in their pockets."

"Half of the remaining tenths can go to the treasury."

"It's already Tianwei!"

After a pause, Lin Che glanced at it, and Zhu Fan, who was concentrating, continued:

"And when the imperial court does not collect enough taxes, it can only continue to raise taxes."

"The people who are already burdened with extremely high survival pressure."

"Under one after another tax increase decrees, some families were forced to hang themselves and commit suicide by throwing themselves into wells."

"Some of them directly abandoned the fields and fled, and took their whole families to the mountains to become savages."

"What's more, it directly led the people who couldn't stand it and paid heavy taxes to rise up."

"In this way, the imperial court will be able to receive taxes."

"It's a lot less."

"In order to maintain the rule and exterminate the troubled exiles."

"I knew that it was to drink to quench my thirst, but in the end, the imperial court could only continue to raise taxes."

"And so on, until the world is in chaos, this cycle of death will be temporarily terminated."

"It's like irrigating the land, which gradually leads to salinization."

"But if you don't water it, the crops won't be good."

"It's just that the salinization of the land after watering will also affect the harvest."

Zhu Zhang's face had become more and more ugly after Lin Che's output.

If it is said that avoiding eunuchs from interfering in politics is a difficult problem that can be solved.

Then what Lin Che said about the tax problem.

According to Zhu Zhang's current knowledge.

He couldn't figure out how to avoid getting caught up in a cycle of tax increases.

Lin Che looked at Zhu Zhang, who was frowning, and couldn't help but smile:

"You kid, don't always drill the horns of the bull, and be more flexible."

Zhu Zhang, who has no clue at all.

Hearing this, he was a little dazed at first, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sir, I understand what you mean, in the end, you still have to use checks and balances!"

"Today's holy martial arts are great, and the four are attached, the day of peace in the world will not be far away, and with the peace in the world, the civil official group will rise rapidly and spread its power throughout the court."

"If there is no other force to check and balance, then the tax will be reduced and the imperial power will fall in an instant."

From Zhu Fan's point of view.

Even though Lin Che had talked about so many eunuch deeds in class.

But it's too far away now.

However, many of the major cases in the early Ming Dynasty were caused by the corruption of the civilian clique and perverting the law.

As for the eunuchs?

A eunuch who dared to give birth to an ill-intentioned heart in front of Emperor Hongwu.

You don't have to wait until the next day.

That night, he would be whipped to death by Emperor Hongwu with his own hands.

The more Zhu Fan spoke, the more energetic he became.

Taken out again, his previous theory said:

"Sir, since the decay of the civilian clique is inevitable."

"Then I think that eunuchs should be trained to check and balance, they don't have the original intention, just teach them what the original intention is!"

"With knowledge, you can improve the moral bottom line, and you can understand what loyalty and patriotism are, and what is the righteousness of the world!"

"Since they can't be cultivated, the great eunuchs who are worried about the world should at least understand that the more greedy they are, the more fierce they fight with Wenchen, the faster the court will fall!"

"The court has fallen, and they who depend on the court for dinner will naturally not end well."

"Besides, after reading the book, I won't only use a knife to deal with Wenchen's twists and turns."

"At least two or three rounds."

This last point is particularly important.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many emperors have sent eunuchs to guard the place.

It's because there's no education.

was tricked by Wenchen, and he jumped into someone's pit.

I stupidly lost my head and didn't say anything.

also attracted infamy to the emperor.

But if you read the book, you will understand the twists and turns of Wenchen.

It will not be easily calculated and lose royal face!

Zhu Fan thought his idea was very good.

……

The mansion next door.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Zhang's words.

I touched the beard on my chin and thought about it.

"Teach the eunuchs the righteousness of the saints who are benevolent, righteous, rational and faithful, and let them read and reason..."

No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang pondered, he felt that something was wrong.

However, according to the situation expected by Mr. Fang Cailin, it is absolutely impossible to let the minister dominate.

Now the civilian clique is being crushed by Huaixi Xungui.

It's just that in his subconscious, he wants to rectify the Huaixi people and prepare to reuse some civil officials.

People like Liu Sanwu, Fu Youwen, Li Boyuan, Tu Jie and others have gradually begun to grasp power.

Could it be that, as Mr. Lin said, waiting for the civilian clique to come to power is also a great disaster?

From this point of view, Zhu Zhang's stinky boy's words still make some sense...

"Now that state affairs are becoming more and more complicated, it is only a matter of time before they are left to civilian officials, and they are blinded."

This question is indeed tricky.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a complicated look on his face.

Worried about the eunuch Luan Guo in the future, he somewhat agreed with Zhu Zhang's idea of letting the eunuch be a laborer and do some work for him.

Caught in a dilemma!

Prince Zhu Biao, who silently acted as a recorder.

I want to talk to his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, about the harm of eunuchs interfering in politics.

Immediately thinking that it was superfluous for him to talk about this matter, his father always insisted that internal officials should not interfere in politics, and put iron signs at the gate of the palace.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao still silently closed his mouth!
