The Ming tax system was passed down from Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, part of which inherited the Tang Dynasty tax system, and the other part added Zhu Yuanzhang's own creativity. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)

However, as we all know, the role of a system in different environments is different. It's like the tax system, when Zhu Yuanzhang just started to build the country. He hoped that the people would be able to recuperate, so both agricultural and commercial taxes were set very low. At that time, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty was also empty, and the people who followed Zhu Yuanzhang were also the heroes who followed him in the southern and northern wars, and everyone was their own people, so the salary for doing things was negotiable, and it was nothing to be low.

But a system that has been used until now, and several generations of emperors have passed without any improvement, which is naturally very unreasonable.

Jiang Xia saw that he had just started to say Zhu Houzhao, his face turned red and he looked embarrassed, so he immediately suppressed his voice. He never planned to be a pioneer of reform when he came to the Ming Dynasty, and then fell into a bleak end in his old age like Shang Ying and Zhang Juzheng. To put it bluntly, Jiang Xia is just a little clever old man, which is still called "old thousand" if it sounds good, and he is a "liar" if it is ugly. He doesn't have such big ideals and ambitions, he just wants to enjoy his life in peace and stability after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't want to get in touch with war and politics.

It's a pity that life is often like this, what you don't want to do doesn't mean you won't do it, fate subtly pushes you forward step by step, and when you suddenly come back, you will realize that everything you don't want to do is actually done in the end.

Zhu Houzhao blushed and said, "How do I feel that in your psychology, I, the emperor, seem to be useless." ”

"Don't you know that you yourself are an emperor with nowhere to go?" Jiang Xia subconsciously replied.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up, and he said heavily: "Jiang Xia, don't go too far!

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth to call himself "I", it was obvious that his mentality at the moment had changed back, at this time he was the emperor in his heart, and Jiang Xia was a courtier.

However, it was obvious that Jiang Xia didn't eat him, and he also stood up and roared loudly: "What are you yelling at? Did I say that you are useless and wrong about you? Think about it yourself, you are not an emperor who is not good to stay in the palace, and you play with lions and tigers in this leopard room all day long." Otherwise, you will go to the brothel of the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask Liu, or you will ask Liu Jin or Zhang Yong to help you find a good woman to spoil it. What else have you done?

Why can't you come up with any silver left in your treasury? Why can't you get any money from the drought in Henan? Why can't you get the money when the soldiers at the border pay you? Is this what the state treasury was like when your father handed over the country to you?

The money in the treasury has been used by you to repair the leopard house of Laoshzi, where is the silver? Now the entire Ming Dynasty is not in deficit in any year? The summer tax has been used up just after the autumn season, and the spring tax has begun to be collected again in the autumn. The people complained, have you taken care of it? and are you still yelling at me here. Sue you, if I hadn't treated you as a brother, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you. ”

"You ......" Zhu Houzhao couldn't say a word by Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia's words were like a scalpel cutting open the intact epidermis on his body, and all the festering flesh inside was placed in front of him.

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a long time, and then said: "You don't need to be so direct ......, I ...... I am not so bad." ”

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao with disdain and asked, "Then tell me, you are not so bad, and what is good?" For example, what are you going to do with the situation that the treasury is empty, the taxes are low, and the officials are greedy for ink?"

"I ...... I'm the emperor, where do I need to think about so many things. I'm going to talk to the Cabinet Ministers tomorrow about these matters. You say that you are so powerful, so how to deal with these things. Zhu Houzhao argued to himself, and he hadn't forgotten to ironize Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia snorted coldly, and immediately said: "Do you still need to discuss these problems? Isn't it easy to solve the root cause of the problem by yourself? For example, if the commercial tax is low, then the tax point will be raised." If there is often tax evasion, then let a special yamen be opened, and stipulate that all shops must go to the yamen to register when they open their doors, otherwise they will be regarded as black shops, and once they are not caught, they will be severely fined. For example, if the agricultural tax is high, it will be reduced. If a local official arbitrarily raises taxes, then a special yamen will be set up at the local level to receive complaints, and once the people go to complain and verify it, they will immediately remove the official from his post and ask him for his guilt.

And see for yourself how much silver you give to your subordinates as officials in a month? People also have to eat, and even if they are officials, why do they have to put on some pomp? So who can spend enough money? If I were you, then raise the price, and then set up a special inspection yamen. Go underground to the local area anytime and anywhere, and let the deputy take the top position once the corruption of officials is verified. In this way, they will not dare to be honest and greedy, and the little bit of convergence is enough for your treasury to spend. ”

"It's still the emperor, this is a little trick I didn't expect. Jiang Xia looked disdainful.

This was the first time he had blushed with Zhu Houzhao, so he was still very unhappy after finishing speaking. He twisted his head to the side and ignored Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao laughed "hey, hey, hey". Jiang Xia felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly understood the calculation in his heart.

Jiang Xia pointed at Zhu Houzhao and said, "You deliberately provoked me!"

Zhu Houzhao looked proud, he said with a smile: "If I don't provoke you like this, how can I know that you have so many opinions about this country? And every method is simple, direct and effective, and it is not too much to say that you are a talent of the auxiliary country." Why don't you discuss something with you, and I let you into the cabinet to help me?"

"You fart, I'm in the Teaching Workshop Division, I'm not going anywhere!" Jiang Xia snorted coldly, knowing that he had been fooled, he was even more unhappy in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiang Xia was still angry, so he didn't mention this matter for the time being, he put the music in his hand in front of Jiang Xia and asked, "Then what should I do about this? Do I check it or not? If so, how do I check it?"

"Nonsense, I must look it up. However, it is indeed too big to be involved, and it is indeed impossible to investigate blatantly. Tomorrow, you will first issue a holy decree, saying that your birthday is approaching, and you don't want to see blood before your birthday has passed, so the death row prisoners of Jingshi are not allowed to be executed before your birthday. In addition, you are sending someone to Yunnan to investigate secretly, as long as you have the evidence, you can first rehabilitate Shangguan. After being rehabilitated, he gave Shangguan Zheng the identity of a messenger, and then assigned a team of brocade guards to him to protect him to go to Yunnan to thoroughly investigate the salt tax. At that time, even if he can't find anything, at least no one dares to embezzle Yunnan's salt tax when he is there, so it will only be good for you, no matter how bad it is. ”

Jiang Xia opened his mouth and said a way, and this method had actually been thought about on the way here, and this was the only way at the moment.

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly, he hugged his fists at Jiang Xia and said, "Okay, brother, follow the order of the eldest brother, tomorrow I will first order that the death penalty shall not be carried out before my birthday." However, it is not a trivial matter to send someone to Yunnan to secretly investigate and find evidence to rehabilitate Shangguan, this must find a trustworthy person, do you have a suitable person to recommend?"

"Me?" Jiang Xia looked disdainful: "I've just entered the officialdom on my first day, how do I know who is more appropriate?"

"No, there's a real person. Jiang Xia suddenly thought. Zhu Houzhao also seemed to think of it, and the two of them said in unison: "Zhong Bin." ”

"Hahaha, it's really brothers. Zhu Houzhao said.

Jiang Xia nodded: "That's it" Suddenly Jiang Xia's face turned cold, and he said with a displeased face: "Wait, did I say that I will reconcile with you? It's getting late, I'm going home." Don't look for me if you're fine. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia got up and walked out of the practice room.

When Jiang Xia left, Zhu Houzhao kept looking at Jiang Xia's back thoughtfully, and he didn't know what he was thinking. And Jiang Xia also glanced back at the leopard room after walking out of the leopard room, in fact, he could clearly feel it just now that Zhu Houzhao was really angry for a moment. That sense of superiority that came from the bones of the superior, Jiang Xia could feel it very clearly.

He knew that he should pay attention to one thing in the future, no matter what, he was the emperor after all, and the four words of the majesty of the Son of Heaven represented not only his face, but the inviolability and absoluteness of the imperial power in his hands.

But anyway, Shangguan Ziyue's matter was temporarily settled, Jiang Xia walked to Han Mufeng's parked carriage, and after jumping into the carriage, Jiang Xia walked towards Xiaoyao Villa.

When he arrived at the gate of Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia got off the carriage and saw a group of people standing at the door of Xiaoyao Villa. After he looked at it, it turned out that almost all the people from Tianjiao had come.

Jiang Xia thought about it in his heart and understood what they were here for, and only two days after his grace banquet, he went directly to the teaching department to take up his post. And counting the days for two more days, I'm afraid that these people will go to their respective places to take office, this time there are more than ten people in their high school, and the rest of the people who don't have high school also have their own places to go through the relationship in the family.

Obviously, they came together this time to say goodbye to themselves.

Jiang Xia immediately walked over and said, "Everyone is all together, can't they all stand at the door and get in?"

"Brother Jiang," everyone looked back and shouted excitedly.

Jiang Xia nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go talk first, this time it's my brother's fault, I forgot to get each of you a membership card of my Easy Mountain Villa." ”

"Good" everyone hugged Jiang Xia and walked into Xiaoyao Villa.

After entering the village, Jiang Xia immediately instructed his subordinates to prepare wine and food in the kitchen, and the group went to the back garden to set up the table together, Liang Wenhan also looked at the bleak night sky sourly and said: "Well, when you sing about wine, life is geometric." ”

Wang Wenbo looked at the sky strangely, is there a moon in this sky?
