Chapter 340: This is a game between the court and the economy, the center and the locality
The people's hearts are gone, and if the Ming Dynasty loses the people's hearts, the basic plate will be gone.
Isn't this waiting for the country to die?
Just when he felt inexplicable, the prince next door issued the same doubts as him;
"This, grabbing the cake, the student was stupid and failed to understand Mr. Lin's deep meaning."
"Please also ask Mr. Lin to speak up."
Seeing Zhu Biao's worried look, Lin Che couldn't help but laugh dumbly, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said casually:
"Don't be nervous."
"I didn't say I was going to rob the people of their cakes."
"How much money can people have in their pockets?"
"Isn't it fragrant to rob the landlord and gentry?"
"Anyway, they are so rich, just like leeks, there is still a stubble after cutting, and each stubble is more tender than the other."
Zhu Biao suddenly realized when he heard this, and only then did he realize the key.
If you want to blame, you can blame it, there is too much knowledge that shocks you today.
It was difficult to digest for a while, and my brain was still a little dizzy.
Lin Che raised his chin and glanced at it, ignoring the embarrassment of the other party at the moment, and suddenly said:
"It's only been a few years since Daming was established?"
"The central treasury began to run out of urgency, and the treasury was extremely empty."
"There are already signs of making ends meet, and if you don't pay attention to it, you can only get poorer and poorer."
"The local finance will hand over a part of it to the center in an agreed manner every year, and the audit standards are different in different places."
"On the surface, there is no problem, but in fact it is self-digging."
Lin Che smiled:
"For example, the wealthy Jiangnan region is handed over by a fixed amount, regardless of the local income this year, anyway, the money and grain must be handed over to the imperial court every year, and it is not possible to have a child."
"Can you imagine how much pressure there is?"
"The heavy burden of taxation is all on the shoulders of the people, and has nothing to do with the landlords and gentry."
"Is this fair?"
Zhu Biao gasped and shook his head violently.
"In regions like Shandong, Hebei and other regions, the implementation of income increments, according to the growth of your income every year, pay for different proportions, and the harvest is more good."
"Those who can work more, and those who work pay more, isn't this bullying honest people?"
Lin Che spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Can the money and grain that has overflowed from growth really be delivered to the imperial court?"
"Precise regulation and control, deception and concealment, disaster to the country and the people."
"It's not that the officials and gentry of a place have been cheapened."
"The people's hard work for a year is equivalent to working in vain, and the treasury has not been replenished as it should be, but the local gentry who have shouted at them have made a lot of money."
"How can there be such a reason?"
After a pause, Lin Che put down the teacup in his hand and sighed:
"To put it bluntly, this is a game between the court and the economy, the center and the locality."
"Whoever wins has the last laugh."
"Your Lao Tzu is too idealistic, his method will not work at all."
The words fell.
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, and sighed silently, even if he wanted to help his father explain, it was clear that the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't make excuses to argue.
"What Mr. Lin taught me was that the students understood."
"So, how can we seize the opportunity in this game?"
Lin Che leaned back in his chair and smiled:
"It's simple, it's not difficult, you just listen to me!"
Seeing Zhu Biao's unwavering and unhurried appearance, Lin Che nodded with satisfaction:
"My father's method of covering profits and not losses has led to the fact that the central finance is getting poorer and poorer, and even if there are no officials who are greedy for ink, they will play themselves to death."
"Don't even have to wait for the future, just take the current Ming Dynasty as a point of view, in the face of the growing gap between the rich and the poor in various places, as well as the depletion of domestic demand in the central and western regions."
"The lever of balance is further tilted, but the central court has no power to regulate it, because the imperial court can't come up with money, and if there is no money, the decree can't get out of the Fengtian Palace."
"If you have money, you can travel thousands of miles, but if you don't have money, it's hard to walk an inch, and it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and anyone who comes to be the emperor can't do it."
"You know what I mean?"
The words fell.
Not only Zhu Biao on this side thought so, but Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side also sighed secretly.
Lin Che's words couldn't be more straightforward, first of all, the policy is wrong, no matter whether the local government is greedy for ink or not, the seeds of defeat have been planted.
If you don't change, you won't be able to return to heaven.
The other party said everything about this, if Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand and didn't repent, he wouldn't be able to sit in today's position.
"Mr. Lin is right, the court has to eat, the people have to eat, and the place has to eat."
"You can't heat it on the kang head, otherwise there will be a problem sooner or later."
"The imperial court has no money, and it all relies on local subsidies, which is unrealistic and very funny."
"It's still too one-sided to think about the problem."
"Thanks to Mr. Lin's guidance."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Queen Ma handed over a cup of tea from the side, motioned to the other party to whisper, and said in disgust:
"There's not much to do."
"When you have the opportunity, don't forget to put gold on your face."
"Does this point you to it? This is pointing the boss! ”
"No, I'm wondering."
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Listen to it, where is the nonsense."
A word fell to the ground, and the birds were silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so stunned that he almost didn't come up in one breath, and the tea that he poured into his mouth just now almost squirted out directly.
Because of the presence of juniors, and daring to be angry and not daring to speak, they are about to hold back their internal injuries at this moment.
Let's talk about the other side.
Zhu Biao unconsciously gasped, then nodded solemnly and said firmly:
"Yes, Mr. Lin, the student understands."
"If you don't have money or food, you can't even understand the soldiers and horses, how can you talk about governing the country and securing the country."
"Under the internal and external troubles, the country is crumbling, and we must not ignore it."
Lin Che's eyes showed a little relief when he heard this, and he had to admit that the prince was much stronger than his father, at least he could listen to people's words, so as not to waste too much tongue.
If there is no successful experience, it is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, and it is more convenient to fill in the depiction by yourself.
"Yes, that's right."
"In the current increasingly serious economic situation, the reform of the fiscal and taxation system is imperative."
Lin Che leaned back in his chair, changed to a more comfortable position, and said easily:
"Actually, it's very simple, it's still the 'magic weapon' I have taught you, only by finding the 'source' of your so-called difficult problem and understanding the current situation, can your difficulty be easily solved."
"'Research' is like conceiving a baby in October, and solving a problem is like giving birth in one day."
"To put it bluntly, the investigation is clear, and the answer is naturally available."
Ignoring Zhu Biao's astonishment, Lin Che smiled:
"If you cross the river by feeling the stones, how much trial and error will it cost you?"
"Can the country stand the toss?"
"So you have to use your brain, you can't be like your father, thinking about one out is one out."
"Although Daming does not have the name of the tax system, it is still practicing the tax system, and it must be eliminated from beginning to end."
"As for the way to break the situation, it is very simple, just start to implement the tax sharing system."
