Chapter 51: This is a whip!

A huge open space unconsciously vacated around Lan Yu!

A group of civil and military officials subconsciously kept their distance from him,

Blue jade this is touched,

Topics that can't even be thought about!!

Don't say that it's a word with Lan Yu,

Even standing with Lan Yu,

The officials don't dare!

I'm afraid that blood will splash on myself!

Prince Zhu Biao's eyelids trembled wildly, and he had already begun to think about how to keep the blue jade.

But no matter how you think about it,

I'm afraid that my father won't let go of Lan Yu again this time!

Zhu Biao raised his head extremely cautiously and peeked at Lao Zhu,

But

Zhu Yuanzhang is far less angry than Zhu Biao imagined,

Instead, he looked at Lan Yu with extremely complicated eyes,

Lao Zhu knows it,

Such a big stroke is not from the hand of Lan Yu,

It came from the mouth of his eldest grandson.

It's not that Lao Zhu hasn't told Zhu Xiongying about this,

But

Tax reform this thing,

Zhu Yuanzhang only told him what Zhu Xiongying had to know.

I didn't expect it at all,

When the eldest grandson listened to the tax reform,

I have already made up my mind,

We must reform the Ming tax system!

This is something that Lao Zhu thinks he doesn't dare to do!

And now,

The whole situation is frozen here,

Lao Zhu is also a little numb!

Lao Zhu sighed secretly and made up his mind,

It's better to be blocked,

Even if Lao Zhu forcibly suppressed Lan Yu and didn't let him speak,

Sooner or later, it will be the day when Zhu Xiongying succeeds to the throne,

The eldest grandson will also do it boldly!

Lao Zhu knows Xiongying too well,

Like his father's temperament,

Soft on the outside and strong on the inside!

So

It's better to let Lan Yu speak,

so that a group of court officials can give advice,

If it's a good point, let's see if it can be used.

If it is full of loopholes,

It's okay to frustrate our eldest grandson...

The court officials involuntarily raised their heads,

There is no imaginary wrath of the Son of Heaven,

Just seeing it, His Majesty's expression was very complicated.

Lao Zhu said slowly,

"Hehe... Reforming the tax system?

Lan Yu, you have such a big breath!

I'm going to hear what you have to say today. ”

Li Shanchang's expression was grim,

I heard a different meaning in His Majesty's words,

With his understanding of Lao Zhu,

Lao Zhu didn't reprimand directly,

is to brake the mind of the reform tax,

If Lan Yu can come up with a good plan,

Your Majesty may not be able to consider it,

But

Li Shanchang can be sure,

Lan Yu's plan is bound to be full of loopholes.

Because

At the beginning of the statehood,

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen discussed this matter,

In the eyes of the two,

The Ming tax system affects the whole body,

At the very least, with the ability of the two,

It is difficult to preside over tax reform,

It's better not to move.

Although Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen have fought all their lives,

But for Liu Bowen, the opponent,

Li Shanchang is willing to bow to the wind,

A judgment made by the wisdom of the two,

There is absolutely no way to overturn it with one blue jade!!

So

In Li Shanchang's view,

What's even more sensitive is that Your Majesty has this thought!

Perhaps, the direction of the wind is also quietly changing!

You have to prepare yourself!

The vassal kings looked at the blue jade,

At this time, their feelings for Lan Yu were very complicated,

They don't know what Blue Jade is going to do.

Speaking to Li Shanchang for a while,

For a moment it seemed to speak to them,

Chun Chun is a fun person who jumps left and right!

but

For the tax reform in Lan Yu's mouth,

Let everyone can't help but raise their hearts to their throats,

pricked up their ears one after another,

I'm afraid that I will miss a word in Lan Yu's mouth later!

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning,

Lan Yu took a deep breath,

This rough man with an extremely big heart, his voice couldn't help but tremble,

What follows,

Even Lan Yu, who has always been bold, is a little unbearable!

"Your Majesty,

Although there is a yellow book and a fish scale atlas to record the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the annual tax is levied,

But!

Indeed, the annual tax collected has been decreasing year after year.

Wechen thinks that the key lies in land annexation! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and his breathing couldn't help but be short,

Regardless of what Lan Yu's next tax reform plan is,

Just the four words of land annexation,

It's worth a thousand gold!!

"The peasants cultivate the land, but they have to bear a great deal of taxes.

In addition to the official showdown's conscription and taxes,

There are also a lot of garbled donations!

Such as fire consumption, sacrificial money, cloth silver, and so on!

In the long run,

The peasants farm the land, and they can't even maintain their own livelihoods.

Nearly seventy or eighty percent of the money has been exploited layer by layer,

So who's going to farm?!

More and more wasteland, less and less taxes,

It's a dead end!! ”

Lan Yu's words rang loudly, like a big bell ringing loudly!

The ministers widened their eyes and looked directly at Lan Yu,

The vassal kings looked at each other,

His eyes were full of horror!

It turns out that the main reason for the lack of tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty has been green year after year,

It's on their own?!

In fact

It's not that these vassal kings are too stupid to figure this out,

Take the fourth Zhu Di as an example,

He knew that the peasants of Yandi needed to collect taxes from the state,

But

Yandi perennial combat readiness,

The people of Yandi have to bear a little bit of the loss of the army.

And the fourth child also deliberately emphasized,

Don't register too much, so as not to bankrupt the people of Yandi.

can

The Northern Yuan Tartars of the grassland are eyeing each other, and from time to time they disturb the border.

Yandi is short of grain today, and there is a shortage of cloth tomorrow,

These can only be borne by the people!

Even if every urgent levy is only a little bit,

But

It adds up! Gather sand into a tower!

After a year, the people of Yandi have no food for the winter!

Zhu Di is not a farmer after all,

At most, he can think of a little less levy each time,

But

If he could calculate from the perspective of a farmer how much grain is left in a year,

That's embarrassing!

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, still cherishes the people's strength,

They have sucked the blood of the people like this,

In that local state capital, there are many corrupt local officials,

If you think about it again,

What kind of poverty have become of the people there?!

It's not that the court officials in Beijing don't think about these things,

It's that they can't think of it!

In the final analysis, these court officials are all from the elite class,

Since childhood, I have been concentrating on reading,

I don't have to worry about anything else, and I've never been hungry.

can support a family that has been studying for more than ten years and does not need him to farm the land to earn money.

Will it be an ordinary family?

So these elite officials only know that the people of the Ming Dynasty are poor,

I can't even think of breaking my head,

How poor the people are?

And those local officials, they know it,

But they just deliberately didn't say it,

After all, you have to point to these to make money!

Deceive the upper and lower levels,

Passing the buck to each other,

That's it!

Today, it was all broken by Lan Yu!

Lao Zhu held on to the dragon chair, and his hands were already shaking wildly with anger!

In addition to the old Zhu patrolling the world at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China,

Since then, Lao Zhu has been reviewing political affairs in Beijing.

He didn't know,

The people of the Ming Dynasty can't even save the food for the New Year in a year!

It's all too familiar!

Isn't it the same with our childhood?!

If the people can't even eat,

How different is our Da Ming from that tyranny?!!

Lao Zhu's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of murder!

Point out the household department Shangshu Guo Yundao,

Asked

"What Lan Yu said, but it's true?!"

Guo Yundao was a little embarrassed and replied,

"Your Majesty, the exact amount of tax paid by a peasant every year is unknown.

But a number of miscellaneous taxes such as fire consumption and cloth silver in General Lan's mouth do exist...."

"Ridiculous !!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the fold in his hand, and suddenly stood up,

The tassel of the flat crown on Lao Zhu's head rattled!

The ministers fell to their knees one after another, and they didn't dare to gasp!

Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon eyes swept over the hall,

The unrepressed murderous aura slapped every corner of the hall like a huge wave!!

The husband was angry, and the blood splattered five steps,

What's more, it's the Son of Heaven who is angry?!

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his finger at the head of the hundred officials,

"Yes, how are you all!

What do I want you to do?!!! ”

The forehead of the hundred officials was firmly pressed against the floor tiles,

I also complained bitterly in my heart.

"Father, the emperor is angry, it's better to listen to what Lan Yu has to say."

Prince Zhu Biao stepped forward and said.

Seeing the prince Zhu Biao looking at himself pleadingly,

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao looked at each other for dozens of breaths,

Just flick your sleeves,

Sit back on the dragon chair!

"Sapphire! You go on! ”

Lan Yu got up, his eyes full of determination,

"Your Majesty, the first article of this tax reform,

It is to abolish all miscellaneous servitudes, and to unify all taxes into one, and all of them are levied according to silver!

In this way, we can prevent the situation of sometimes levying grain, sometimes levying cloth, and the people going back and forth to exchange money, and the loss is heavier!

From this tax amount,

Condensed into a whip...."

Lan Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his head,

The voices of the two coincide!

"This is the !! of a whip"
