"Xiangguo is a scholar of heaven and man, and the lower officials admire it."

The corners of Tu Jie's mouth hooked up a smile, and then, he looked at Xiao Han and arched his hand slightly: "Spread into the mu, the essence of the country, and the righteousness of the country." ”

Tu Jie looked at Xiao Han with another compliment, and his face was full of smiles, but the sinister nature of his heart was known to passers-by.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who got started, frowned slightly.

Spread into the mu, naked yang conspiracy, and Tu Jie's out, it is also a naked yang conspiracy.

Because, Tu Jie didn't believe that Zhu Biao could come up with this near-perfect yang scheme, so since it was not Zhu Biao, it could only be Xiao Han.

Therefore, Tu Jie asked Zhu Biao, in order to calculate Xiao Han and make the gentry of the noble clan hate Xiao Han, so as to secretly stumble Xiao Han.

"Tu Jie."

Zhu Biao took a deep look at Tu Jie, and the fist under the sleeve robe was slightly clenched.

The struggle between rights is so simple and simple, it seems to be a compliment to Xiao Han, but in fact it hides evil intentions.

But in fact, Zhu Biao wanted to take the paving into the mu and let the gentry of the world know that this was the conspiracy of Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, rather than letting Xiao Han take care of it.

But Xiao Han still got up without hesitation, and once again blocked this storm for Zhu Biao, how could Zhu Biao not be moved?

So, this Tu Festival is cool!

Zhu Biao looked at Tu Jie's eyes, and a wisp of cold light flashed, as if he was already looking at a dead man!

"Then thank you for the praise in the imperial history."

"This Xiangguo is very useful."

Xiao Han raised his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, but the person he looked at was not Tu Jie, but Hu Weiyong behind Li Shanchang.

Hu Weiyong's little move, still want to hide from him Xiao Han?

Their little bit of caution, still want to fight with him Xiao Fengxue?

I don't want to think about it, this is the Fengtian Temple, and this is where the Hundred Officials Council is located.

With Xiao Han's cautious character, he must look around and control the situation, so Xiao Han can see the look in the eyes of the ministers of Fengtian Palace.

As for why?

Only by playing with people's hearts can we control the situation, this is the truth of the ancestor religion will be Xiao Han.

Therefore, the time Hu Weiyong looked at Tu Jie, could he hide it from Xiao Han?

However, there is one thing to say, if the smart people of the Ming Dynasty put their minds on the people, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to recover its national strength in three years.

After all, Tu Energy saw the problem at a glance, and pointed at Xiao Han, so his brain was not stupid, and he was even very smart.

It's just that Tu Jie used this thought completely on the court and politics, rather than the people, so this is the fundamental reason why life is getting harder and harder.

How can Xiao Han tolerate this bad atmosphere, if he can't change it, then he will make an example, and the court will be clear, and the world will be bright.

But Xiao Han's glance frightened Hu Weiyong, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart at all, could it be that Xiao Han found out that he did it?

It shouldn't be, that glance is so vague, even Lao Zhu didn't move, how did Xiao Han find out?

Immediately, Hu Weiyong, who forcibly stabilized his mind, looked at Xiao Han and said slightly: "Xiangguo is righteous." ”

"Xiangguo Gaoyi."

The ministers are the Tao again.

Okay.

Li Shanchang looked at the smugness on Hu Weiyong's face, closed his eyes directly, and then slowly shook his head.

It's just looking for death!

In today's court debate, Hu Weiyong was supported by the ministers several times, and the ending is clear when you think about it.

"Your Majesty."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked up with a touch of sarcasm, and then, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair, bowed slightly and said, "The minister has a play." ”

"Play."

Zhu Yuanzhang, whose eyes were gloomy, waved his hand slightly.

Of course, these gloomy eyes are naturally not Chong Xiaohan, but the Hu Weiyong below.

The current Lao Zhu is really unhappy, and he is really afraid that he can't help it in the next second, so he asked the guards to hack Hu Weiyong to death on the Fengtian Palace.

Just a left-hand prime minister, who has just ascended to the right prime minister, the DPRK-China forces are toppling on one side, which is definitely a long-planned plan.

"Spreading the land into the mu is beneficial to the country and the people, but it also has drawbacks."

"That was the early years of the founding of the country, and His Majesty rewarded many nobles with a lot of good land, including micro-ministers, as well as ministers of the DPRK and China, and even officials, who were basically exempt from taxes."

"Therefore, Weichen implores His Majesty to issue a decree, and from now on, the world will be treated equally, whether it is the emperor's relatives or noble ministers, they all need to pay taxes in accordance with the decisions of the imperial court."

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and still bowed.

Xiao Han's sonorous and powerful voice sounded, and except for those in the know, all the remaining ministers looked at each other and were stunned.

Even, the faces of some officials instantly turned pale as paper, their lips trembled slightly, and a chill rose behind them, rushing straight to their hearts.

It's not the same!

This is simply ruining their efforts!

What is the purpose of studying hard for more than ten years, isn't it just to get ahead and be an official?

And among them, the exemption from taxes is naturally the benefit of being an official, so now that you have revoked it, how are we different from the people?

What is the purpose of reading the book for so many years?

In an instant, grievances and unwilling emotions exploded!

"Your Majesty, no!"

"This plan will never be realized!"

"Your Majesty, this is erasing Weichen's hard work for several years!"

All the courtiers almost looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed.

Xiao Han looked at the chaotic court, and the coldness in his eyes was even worse.

This is the officialdom of the ancient feudal dynasty, once it touches its own interests, it becomes desperate, crying and shouting, regardless of whether this is for the benefit of the world.

However, it's right to think about it, this is also a good thing that the Great Cowardly Dynasty can do.

After all, officials in ancient times did not have to pay taxes, and they became more and more crooked from the Great Song Dynasty.

Why?

This is because, since the Song Dynasty, only officials did not pay taxes, but the Song Dynasty stipulated that the immediate family members of officials could also be exempted from taxes.

This has led many officials to describe a large number of people who cannot be beaten by the eight poles as immediate family members in order to exempt their relatives from taxation, so as to register and make a register and exempt from paying taxes.

And after the Ming Dynasty, even those who passed the imperial examination and won the talent can be exempted from taxation, which is equivalent to tax exemption even if you are not an official.

Therefore, this is the ancient feudal dynasty, and now Xiao Han thinks about it, it is also not worth it for the people, after all, whether it is an official or a meritorious person in the examination, he can have a lot of privileges, and among them, the most important privilege is to be exempt from taxes.

That Xiao Han figured it out, the so-called taxation is a name set up for those mud legs facing the loess with their backs to the sky, so this unhealthy trend must be corrected, otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty completes all the reforms, it will still be eaten up by this group of officials, and Xiao Han's lifelong efforts are really in vain.

"You studied hard just to be an official?"

"You study hard just to avoid paying taxes?"

Xiao Han looked at one of the officials and asked softly.

Xiao Han's voice sounded, and the Fengtian Temple suddenly fell silent, and the official's body trembled even more, his eyes flashed full of horror, and then he was at a loss, and his tone was intermittent.

Even the minds of many courtiers were blank, as if they had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and they lost the ability to think, and just stood in place.

The mixed voices in the court hall finally disappeared without a trace, and Xiao Han suddenly felt quiet and comfortable.

"When an official doesn't make decisions for the people, he thinks about exempting from taxes, so what is the use of the imperial court wanting such officials?"

Xiao Han slowly stepped forward, and the pressure that permeated his body pressed the official's nerves even more, and suddenly, the official directly collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed.

"You spend years just to get ahead, to become an official, to be exempt from taxes, to be a privilege."

But Xiao Han still didn't want to let go of this official, and then he stood in front of this official, raised his head, and said condescendingly: "Then how can you compare with those hard-working people, how can you be worthy of the hundreds of millions of people in the world." ”

"On what basis can you enjoy superiority by studying, and privileges when you become an official?"

"Why, the people who pay taxes in my Ming Dynasty are so unsightly in your eyes?"

"Why, can you have the privilege to enjoy at the same time, but still shamelessly boast of your years of study and suffering?"

"And where do you think your privilege comes from?"

"That's the ladder that hundreds of millions of people have built for you with their hands!"

Xiao Han's body trembled slightly, his hands clenched into fists, and his nails pierced deep into his palms.

This voice was as shocking as thunder, and many courtiers were silent, unable to refute it at all.

"Pull it out, kill it."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice sounded: "Those who accuse injustice, kill them all!" ”

"I'm a big Ming, I don't need such a courtier."

Zhu Biao also followed suit.

Immediately, two columns of guards walked into the Fengtian Palace, and they wanted to arrest all these accusing courtiers and behead them.

On the road of reform, the bloodshed will never stop, but as long as the result is right, there is no turning back.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Wechen knows the mistake, the wechen knows the mistake!"

Suddenly, the voice of the ministers begging for mercy sounded in the Fengtian Palace, which made those courtiers who did not move secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and even said that they were fortunate that they were calm, otherwise, they would have to die.

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Xiao Han stepped out again, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in his hand, bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am now in the middle of employing people, and I have to reclaim wasteland in the coming year, so it is better to take them all into prison, and let them reclaim wasteland in the coming year and make the best use of them." ”

Xiao Han's words fell, and the hope that rose in the hearts of those accusing courtiers was instantly extinguished, and then, a chill rose, it was better to kill them.

Work?

Isn't that tantamount to letting them die a slow death?

"Exactly."

A smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and then he nodded.

Xiao Han's idea is good.

Now there is a real shortage of people, so it is better to make the best use of things if you kill them, which is even more murderous.

Xiao Han also smiled and nodded, after all, the population of the Ming Dynasty was already scarce, and it was better to go to work if they were always killing and killing, which was even more of an ordeal for these pampered courtiers on weekdays.

It can also deter those with ulterior motives!

"Then you guys, do you have any opinions?"

Immediately, after dealing with these courtiers, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers below again and asked softly.

"Your Majesty."

"The officials pay the taxes, and the ministers have no objections, but after the taxes are paid, then the officials in my court and China will only have to live with thin porridge."

Li Shanchang stepped out and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and arched his hand.

As an insider, Li Shanchang must promote the situation and complete the thorough reform of apportioning the land into acres, otherwise, arresting so many courtiers is still equivalent to useless.

Then there is only one question left, that is, whether the officials' salaries are enough to pay taxes, after all, the Ming Dynasty's salaries have always been low.

In order not to backfire, the court's fortune must be promoted.

"Hmm."

"Prince, what do you think about this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly, then looked at Zhu Biao and said softly.

If you want to say that Lao Zhu still loves his son, otherwise, this great grace can fall on Zhu Biao's head?

After all, Lao Zhu is by no means a fool, how can he not understand Li Shanchang's deep meaning, this is completely telling Zhu Yuanzhang that the courtier's fortune should rise, otherwise, it will cause turmoil.

Although Lao Zhu is a little distressed, Lao Zhu is also like a mirror in his heart for the extremely high income of apportioning the acre, so Lao Zhu has agreed to the salary increase in disguise.

But the salary increase, Lao Zhu decided to hand it over to Zhu Biao, as for how much money to rise, that is Zhu Biao's business, Lao Zhu doesn't care, as long as he doesn't toss the treasury, he will follow Zhu Biao's wishes.

Anyway, officials don't pay taxes, Lao Zhu is also very distressed, but all dynasties are like this, Lao Zhu is helpless, but now it is different, the court can collect taxes from officials, although the policy of apportioning the acres into the mu is that there is no land at home, so you don't have to pay taxes, but the court can also take this to recover the acres, all in all, blood is not a loss.

As for the royal relatives?

Hehe.

How many royal relatives does the old Zhu family have?

Even if it is exempt from taxes, how much can it be exempted?

Moreover, in the future, when the royal family grows, of course, it will have to contribute to the royal family, but if you don't even pay taxes, what else can you do?

And in the end, the rest is the founding honorable group, which doesn't need to be mentioned at all, even if Xiao Han doesn't have the identity of a royal prince, he is also a proper founding hero, so starting with Xiao Han, if Xungui dares to disagree, it is a serious search for death.

"Your Majesty."

"Erchen thinks that the current official's salary is indeed a bit low."

"Therefore, the apportionment of the land into the mu must be implemented, and the officials' salaries must also rise."

"After all, contributing to the court and doing things for the people, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, so the court naturally can't treat the courtiers badly."

Zhu Biao glanced at Xiao Han, but Xiao Han's face did not have any expression, that is, he understood what Xiao Han meant, and then raised his hand, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Therefore, please Your Majesty issued an order to redefine the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, the protection for the soldiers must also be improved, otherwise, for my Ming Dynasty to be born and die, but there is not even a little protection, that will be the chill of all the soldiers." ”

"Huh?"

"The children can be taught!"

Xiao Han turned his head and glanced at Zhu Biao, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he nodded affirmatively in his heart.

It seems that Xiao Han's conjecture is not wrong at all, when the thinking of the ancients is not limited by the world, it will burst out with immeasurable energy.

For example, the current Zhu Biao, after Xiao Han's teaching for a period of time, the limitations of thinking have broken through half.

Just like the future Ming soldiers seeking protection, this alone, Zhu Biao's thinking is no longer on the same line as the ancients.

To put it simply, the former Zhu Biao was for the country and the people, and wanted the people of the world to be better, which is true, but he couldn't escape the shackles of etiquette and law, and he always felt that he could solve the problem with Huairou, so he would be blocked layer by layer and not be able to advance an inch.

But now it is different, Zhu Biao looks at the general trend of governing the country, that is, he would rather give up me alone, and would rather shed a river of blood, as long as the final result is the result that Zhu Biao pursues, it is worth it.

"Quasi-play."

Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair above nodded slightly, and Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Then this matter will be handed over to the prince, come up with an idea as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Before Zhu Biao could speak, many ministers standing in the hall had already knelt down and kowtowed.

Immediately, they all turned around again, looked at the crown prince Zhu Biao, and kowtowed again.

Even, some courtiers have shed tears, but these are tears of joy.

After all, the money given by the imperial court is indeed too cheap, just like an official with a lower official position, who throws away food and clothing at home, and even dare not get sick, because of what?

There is no money to cure the disease!

But now it is different, the court will discuss it, and the court will definitely not increase the income of the court, which will definitely not be a symbolic increase, and the life of the officials in the court and China can also be improved.

Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this spread into the mu, as long as the income rises, who can't pay the tax per mu, it will be regarded as contributing to the country.

Another point, courtiers who have the ambition to serve the country in their hearts will not suffer a little more in their hearts, after all, the life they pursue is not a day of fine clothes and food, luxury and respect at all.

As long as there is a bowl of coarse tea and light rice, and the old mother in the family is seriously ill and can take medicine to cure the disease, then they are loyal ministers for the country and the people, instead of violating morality and etiquette and committing the dirty behavior of corruption and bribery.

Xiao Han saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but nod, and the eyes of many courtiers in front of him became much clearer.

How could Xiao Han not know about Hongwu Dynasty's harshness towards officials, so some officials had to be greedy, not bent on being greedy.

Once the will of the increase in money is issued to the major state capitals, there should be many more clean officials in the court, and the corrupt officials in the Hongwu Dynasty will also be reduced as much as possible.

Of course, the most difficult thing in this world is people's hearts, so there will still be corruption, and the court's anti-corruption must continue, but compared with the past, the people's lives can also be a little better.

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time, a trace of thought rose in his heart.

"Are we really too harsh on such an official?"

This thought crossed Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, and Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately startled, and then shook his head.

"Your Majesty."

"The minister still has the music."

The old man's business sounded, and the ministers all turned their heads in unison, but the voice was still Li Shanchang.

"Play!"

Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, and kneel down to thank the brothers! Still working hard to explode!

Please follow, please order, please brothers, help me, thank you!
