"Now, many princes are young and don't see any hidden dangers, but in a few decades."

Zhu Biao's scalp was a little numb, and when he said the end, he was silent.

And if it develops like this, in the long run, there will really be more and more county kings in the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the old Zhu family will probably be more and more.

Then this will inevitably become a hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty, after all, the world is like this, even if you raise the strength of the whole country to support the Zhu family, it may not be able to afford it.

Besides, don't the people have to live, and don't the people have to eat?

Every year, all the grain and silver that you have earned with your hard work have been handed over to the national treasury, so isn't this forcing the people to die?

If you don't rebel, what are you waiting for?

This is equivalent to another reincarnation, and the Ming Dynasty will repeat the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the late Yuan Dynasty to oppress the people.

"Do you think these are the only princes?"

"Your Majesty's sons are all princes, if they can all be hereditary, then my Ming county kings will only be more."

Xiao Han still waved his hand.

This itself has a historical basis, during the Hongzhi period, the clan and the county kings were flooded, and the treasury was unbearable, so Zhu Youzhu chose to curb it, but in the later period, as soon as Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong came to power, he demolished his father's platform.

"Besides, there are many county kings, and this is just one of them, and the rest of the reason is to pay taxes."

"All my Prince Ming, the emperor's relatives and relatives, do not need to pay taxes, but the economic foundation of my Ming Dynasty is only taxes, so after you ascend the throne, you will find a very sad fact, that is, one-third of the income of the treasury will be used to support the prince, and the court will not get anything in return."

"After you, the treasury must take out two-thirds every year to support the royal descendants of the Ming Dynasty, but they still don't have to pay taxes, so in the long run, the economy of the imperial court is bound to collapse."

"And when the time comes, how should you choose to support the descendants of the royal family, the emperors of later generations, and the ministers of future generations?"

"It is nothing more than continuing to impose taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and continue to raise taxes on taxes that can be collected in the first place."

Xiao Han glanced at the four Zhu Biao brothers again, and then said softly.

The reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, is that in fact, supporting the clan can only be counted as one of the reasons, but more is the tax.

The court's tolerance for these clans is that there is no need to pay taxes, but the people of the world still have to pay taxes, so once the court can't even maintain its daily operation, then the only way to do it is to raise taxes.

"How should that be solved?"

Zhu Biao nodded heavily, then looked at Xiao Han and asked.

After all, since Xiao Han can mention it, there must be a solution, otherwise, Xiao Han will not talk much.

Anyway, everyone's hearts are like mirrors, Xiao Han has lived freely in this life, as the saying goes, life does not bring, death does not take it, as for future generations, that is their business, Xiao Han will never care, and living a good life is Xiao Han's choice.

Therefore, since Xiao Han can say it, there must be a solution, otherwise, he will never talk much.

"It can be solved."

"But I'm not going to talk about the old man."

"No matter how close the relationship is, I will always be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, not the son of the old man, it is inappropriate for me to say this kind of thing."

Xiao Han shook his head lightly and said.

"Don't worry."

"If I don't understand you, I won't ask."

Zhu Biao patted Xiao Han's shoulder and nodded slightly, as for the rest of the words, without words, they already knew each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang set the emperor's ancestral motto, so if you want to change it, then only Zhu Yuanzhang personally changes it, so that you can inherit the will of heaven and obey the will of the people, and many princes will not complain in their hearts.

After all, Lao Zhu is the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and the future vassal kings of the royal family are all the sons of Lao Zhu, and it is most suitable for Lao Zhu to change his ways.

But if you wait until Zhu Biao's day to change these things, the initial turmoil will definitely arise, after all, in Zhu Biao's hands, this is always a cutting of the domain.

"Hmm."

"As I just said, the world treats everyone equally, no one can evade taxes and avoid taxes, including the prince, if you have enough acres of land in your hands, then you will pay more taxes, and as for the court's money, it will be correct."

"And if there are no officials with acres, you can avoid apportioning the tax per mu, after all, there are so many acres of land in the world, how many officials in the imperial court can there be?"

"Even if they only take out a tenth, it is enough for their money, as for the vassal kings and magnates, it is equivalent to them using their own money to pay taxes, and their money may not be enough to pay taxes."

"Since they have face and lining, but if they dare to say anything, they will be punished."

"As for the acres of land that have been recovered, the court is responsible for cultivating them, or renting them to the people, of course, the people will become tenants, and the rent should not be too high, and as for taxes, they will be exempted from all."

"Of course, the census of the population and the measurement of acres of land must be carried out in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Biao and continued to say softly: "Don't forget, the most people in the world are still homeless, after all, they have just experienced troubled times. ”

Half of the fields in the world are still barren, so they must be reclaimed, so in this year of reclamation, the people eat has become a problem.

After all, at this time in the world, there are still the most displaced people, and most of them have no fixed residence, so the court must give them a way to live, and it is better to teach people to fish, than to teach people to fish.

Since the people have no land to plant, the court will let you farm, and only charge cheap rents, which is definitely lower than those large landlords, so that the people will not still be frugal in the harvest year, and the taxes will be completely exempted.

"The people's taxes are a big deal."

Zhu Li raised his head and looked at Xiao Han and said, "If the people's taxes are exempted, what if the imperial court takes back all the acres of land and the imperial court does not pay taxes?" ”

This is actually also a problem, the rich families, the royal princes, once they sell the acres of land in their hands to the imperial court, then they do not have to pay taxes, which is directly equivalent to cutting off the taxes of the imperial court.

"Then what is our transaction management department used for, and the decoration is not successful?"

Xiao Han suddenly looked at Zhu Li angrily and said: "Don't forget, the Transaction Management Department is just for pricing, and the price of acres can only be set by the imperial court, and we are reluctant to sell, let's not talk about it first, just say that they sell it, and they don't have to pay taxes anymore, which is indeed okay." ”

"Where does the basic source of the tax come from, it is nothing more than grain, and the grain is produced from the acres of fields, and I am the Ming Dynasty, I have mastered all the acres, not to mention the annual rent, which is completely better than the tax, even if only half of the rent is taken out, the remaining half, and the court itself operates, it is much stronger than that tax."

"Besides, the commercial tax has never been abolished, even if you don't farm anymore, those industries under your name will also constitute taxes, and the Ming Dynasty will only become more and more prosperous."

Xiao Han said in one breath.

In the initial stage of the reform policy, it must be inclined to the people, and the people must be well fed and warmly clothed, and this is bound to be sacrificed, so the court has to make a choice, whether to choose the people, or these rich families.

"I see what you mean."

Zhu Li nodded, and said nothing.

Xiao Han is right, the spread into the mu is not to ensure the interests of the wealthy families, but to ensure the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's talk about the prince, the vassal system of all dynasties is different, but most of them have the same end, until I saw the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor implemented the Tui En Order, let me figure out a little idea."

Just when everyone had no opinion, Xiao Han spoke again: "I will call this the grace of the Son of Heaven, and the fifth generation will be beheaded." ”

"The grace of the Son of Heaven will be beheaded in the fifth generation."

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with a glint and said.

"Yes."

"The grace of the Son of Heaven will be beheaded in the fifth generation."

"From the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded."

Xiao Han nodded lightly and said with a smile.

Zhu Biao can be regarded as well-read, so he naturally understands the meaning of the similarity, all in all, it is not troublesome to explain.

"The son of His Majesty is the prince, and the son of the prince is the prince of the county, the son of the king of the county, the son of the prince of the county, the son of the prince of the county, the son of the prince of the county, and the son of the prince of the county, the son of the prince, the uncle of the county."

"As the saying goes, one life with one sword, one knife and one cut, five lifetimes will end, and the Son of Heaven will be exhausted."

"Unless there is a great meritorious service, you can inherit the ancestor, otherwise, it is implemented in this way, and you can protect my Ming Dynasty forever."

Although Xiao Han's voice was soft, the sharpness between the words made the four Zhu Biao brothers shocked.

It's really a good grace of the Son of Heaven, and he will be beheaded in the fifth generation!

Immediately, Zhu Biao's face showed a touch of embarrassment, the method is indeed a good way, but this is an ancient feudal dynasty, who doesn't want their descendants to prosper a little, but if they do this, they will not die, it will be a good thing.

"I know what you're thinking, if the younger generations are incompetent, you can also rely on the accumulation of your ancestors to survive, but how many years can you eat on empty salaries?"

"Once the Ming Dynasty falls into a financial crisis, this is the children and grandchildren of future generations, and they must die, remember, what is a glory and a loss."

Xiao Han pursed his lips again and said, "Unless, you Zhu Biao thinks that you are inferior to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." ”

The first yang plot in the world, pushing the grace order, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not hesitate, because he understood that the descendants of the Liu family and the Han Dynasty were both prosperous and loss-making.

Besides, this is not equivalent to you being removed from the imperial register, the clan is sorted, and you still have your name, you can still take the imperial examination, be an official, have great merits, and be crowned a marquis and a king.

Therefore, if you can't rely on your ancestors to mess up, then rely on your own efforts, which is also a back road, so as not to raise so many incompetent juniors.

"I agree!"

Immediately, Zhu Biao gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly in his eyes: "Then let them ask for more blessings, the old Zhu family will never raise waste, if they have the ability, they will be officials in the future, if they are not capable, then they will ask for more blessings, no wonder the ancestors!" ”

"Hmm."

"Although I don't want to agree, I can't help it, after all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is my father."

Zhu Fan also shook his head helplessly, only then did he look at Xiao Han and smiled: "I also agree." ”

"Then I can't refute it."

"Anyway, with my ability, it is not a problem to leave some kindness to the younger generations, and it is impossible for me to be extinct in the lineage of King Jin."

A flash of confidence flashed in the eyes of King Zhu Li of Jin.

"Then I naturally can't be worse than my third brother."

"I agree."

Zhu Di was also not to be outdone, and looked at Xiao Handao.

"Hmm."

"Don't worry, for example, if you have made great meritorious deeds, opened up territory for the country, and made meritorious contributions such as external security and internal security, you can be hereditary and retired with the country."

Zhu Biao thought about it slightly, and then said: "But there must be a rule, all sons-in-law, except for hereditary replacements, can be crowned kings of the county, still follow the grace of the Son of Heaven, and the fifth generation will be beheaded, and all of them will not be crowned kings, but can only be crowned marquis, and beheaded in this way." ”

"Yes."

"I'm okay with that."

The three brothers nodded in unison, and there was a flash of fire in their eyes, as long as their own princes and princes can be hereditary, then they will make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and their abilities are not a problem if they want to keep their princes.

After all, Lao Zhu has so many sons, why only he can stand by Zhu Biao's side is self-evident.

Of course, the reason for being young cannot be ruled out, but the times create heroes, and sometimes being old is also a good thing.

"Then all the problems are not solved."

Zhu Biao also nodded with a smile.

"Huh."

"You're really thinking about good things, and if it's as simple as what we're talking about, then we won't be stuck in currency reform."

Xiao Han rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "We also have to think slowly, we can't be in a hurry, today, it can be regarded as our breath, there is a general direction, otherwise, in the future, we will not be able to do anything." ”

"Hmm."

"It's nature."

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, and then hugged Xiao Han's shoulder and said with a smile: "But with you Su Ninghou, I am very relieved, after all, there is nothing you can't do, you can rest assured, just these things you proposed, your hereditary replacement, I have to keep it for you, don't worry." ”

"Huh."

"Anyway, the old man is not here, and I am not afraid of you, to put it bluntly, just by virtue of my contribution to the world, I can keep my hereditary replacement."

Xiao Han smiled and said with complete disdain.

Regarding his hereditary replacement, do you still need Zhu Biaobao?

Don't make trouble, if he Xiao Han can't keep the hereditary replacement, in the imperial court, how many nobles can keep the hereditary replacement?

"You talk and do things, can you not be so cautious, and the old man is not here, don't you just want to tell me, don't hit your little report."

Zhu Biao's eyes suddenly flashed with a wicked smile.

Xiao Han is cautious, which is famous, so no matter what he says, he has to foreshadow, so as not to say that someone will say that he is arrogant.

"You just said it to the old man, and I'm not afraid, after all, who has nothing to be proud of and proud to the prince?"

Xiao Han still looked at Zhu Biao fearlessly and said, "Besides, did I speak just now?" ”

Xiao Han's eyes swept around, and Zhu Fan and Zhu Li hurriedly shook their heads and said, "No, Brother Han didn't say anything, we can testify, it's all made up by the prince!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di's heart was in the air, and it was also the Tao.

offending his eldest brother, at most is a punishment, but offending Lao Xiao, maybe in a few years, they still have to live under Xiao Han's destruction, after all, the next person is a teacher, a few of them are students, wearing small shoes, Xiao Han can really do it, and he is absolutely righteous and righteous, and the old man can't do anything about him.

"You little bastards."

"It's a waste of time to hurt you."

Zhu Biao suddenly scolded with a smile.

"Hey, hey."

The three brothers scratched their heads again in unison.

"Don't make trouble, calculate the time, Song Guogong should be about to arrive at Yingtianfu, we should also go back to the palace, do you want a piece?"

The brothers were fighting again before they stopped, and then Zhu Biao turned his head to look at Xiao Handao again.

"Don't make a fuss, I don't want to see Uncle Feng, unless His Majesty summons me, otherwise, I won't be able to kill Kunning Palace."

Xiao Han hurriedly waved his hand, and then, he said angrily: "After all, I can hide from those Huaixi nobles, it's because they are afraid of me and me, but Uncle Feng, he is not afraid of me." ”

"Uncle Feng is not as stingy as you think, besides, he is so deeply implicated, Uncle Chang has already educated him, thinking about it, his temper and temperament should have changed a lot, at least he can't do this kind of thing in his life to squeeze the people."

Zhu Biao said without caring at all.

Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, is bold and careful in fighting, and he is also cautious in doing things, plus Feng Guoyong, the Duke of Ying, so Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted Feng Sheng.

"Hmm."

"Then I won't go, I'm going to go to the Ministry of Industry, after all, I'm really a little worried about letting you keep an eye on the issuance of new currency."

Xiao Han still shook his head, and then looked at Zhu Biao and continued: "In this way, you go to Kunning Palace first, and when you see Uncle Feng, you will come directly to the Ministry of Industry, after all, the template of the new currency must be decided." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Biao thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Then you wait for me in the Ministry of Industry, print a few templates first, see the effect, and wait for me to come over, and then we will discuss the amount and the number of issues." ”

"Yes."

"The amount can be tentative, but the number of issuances must be cautious and there must not be the slightest deviation."

Xiao Han raised his head, looked at Tong Zhangshun beside him, and said softly: "You don't have to accompany me to the Ministry of Industry, you go to the Ministry of Households, and ask Lu Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, to take stock of the treasury, as well as food and other goods, as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

Tong Zhangshun hugged his fists heavily.

"First according to the market pricing, wait until next year's spring sowing, when the grain is sufficient, and then carry out equal allocation, so as to stabilize the market situation to the greatest extent."

Xiao Han turned his head to look at Zhu Biaodao again.

"Well, then I'll go back to Kunning Palace first, and when I see Uncle Feng, I'll rush to the Ministry of Industry immediately."

Zhu Biao also nodded.

Continue to ask for recommendation tickets, monthly passes, brothers, give me something, thank you, and the matter of adding a group, brothers, quickly join the group, let's talk about it together, the author is really playing with his life!
