Abolish salary fields and tax-free fields? !
Zhu Di's words made all the officials take a deep breath, and all of them looked miserable, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
What's the point of being an official?
Brilliant in history?
Famous forever?
Benefit all mankind?
Don't be ridiculous, that's all for people with lofty ideals.
When we become officials, we just want this little bit of land and this little bit of privilege. If you want to abolish all these privileges for us, how can we still hang out?
Just relying on the imperial court's pitiful monthly salary of a few or more than a dozen shi?
If it weren't for the little land in hand, wouldn't it be like eating brown rice every day, living in a shabby house, and wearing shabby clothes?
After finally acquiring some more land and some money, after half a year of poverty, I went to Qingyan Building to see my confidante, but in the end, they didn’t even recognize me. Is it easy for us?
But looking at the dark sand table, I felt helpless.
If the sand table changes like this, ten or thirty years later, before my tomb is repaired, the death knell of the Ming Dynasty has already sounded...
Damn Zhu Di!
There are rumors that you are crazy, but I never believe it.
Looking at it now, it is indeed crazy.
In a word, he offended all the gentry. Even if he were not a madman, he would not be able to do such a thing.
You have to burn yourself and shine for the Ming Dynasty, but why do you send all of us into the fire pit...
be opposed to?
Who dares to speak out against it now?
The emperor was clearly on the verge of going berserk. He asked back, "You are willing to be a fourth-class bitch, relying on the enemy and the barbarians." This made everyone have to think about the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, if there is no overall perspective, the best outcome will be He took off his official uniform and went home to open up wasteland.
Don't you see Hou Tai slumped on the ground, afraid to speak?
Don’t you see that Jing Qing is dejected and silent?
If the person taking the lead didn't dare to object, then there would be no one to object.
Zhu Yunwen's cold and majestic gaze swept away. No matter who it was, no one dared to look directly at him and lowered their heads.
"The disaster of land disputes will harm our descendants! If we don't do it, our descendants will have no way of living! I have decided to inventory the acres of land in the Ming Dynasty. Princes, officials, wealthy gentry, rich farmers, and self-cultivated farmers will all be included in the inventory. ! If anyone obstructs it, then confiscate all their fields and distribute them to the people!"
Zhu Yunwen's decision shocked everyone. It would mean that the land inventory of the Ming Dynasty would start again, and this time the intensity would be far greater than that of Hongwu!
"As for salary land and tax-free land, they will all be taxed at the rate of fifteen taxes and one. Land that is legally and reasonably bought and sold, and land that exceeds the salary land regulations, will be taxed at five taxes and one. All gentry's land properties will be investigated for their sources. If there are any If he takes something by force and buys his land at a low price, he should be ordered to return the land and compensate the farmer one tael of silver per acre of land!"
"In the future, land sales and sales will be handed over to the agricultural tax bureaus at all levels for management, supervision by the Audit Department, and reporting to the Chief Envoy! Don't mention any more ancestral systems to me! The ancestral system is in Xiaoling! If anyone wants Taizu's system, then From tomorrow onwards, there is no need to enter the palace, just go directly to Xiaoling and kneel there! Do you still have any objections?"
The faces of all officials are earth-colored!
You have said this, who dares to object? !
However, what you are doing is to divide most of the land in the world among farmers.
It's okay to say that the salary field is taxed 15% to 1%, but the land outside the salary field is heavily taxed at 5% tax to 1%. So what do I need this land for?
If the tenant farmers pay their taxes and keep part of it, how much more can they keep?
If the harvest is not good and only one bucket of grain per acre of land is put into the warehouse after one year, wouldn’t I cry to death?
In this case, I can only live on my salary.
For those squires, it would probably be even worse.
Whose land has no mud?
Taking advantage of others by force, using power to oppress others, and operating in secret are really not enough. Find a dog to bite them and spend all the money on medical treatment. If you have no money, you will naturally have no choice but to sell your land.
There are many ways to take away the land, but who would have thought that the court would want to strictly investigate the source of the land! If a tenant farmer says that his land was taken away from him, then he will not only have to give back the land, but also have to pay compensation.
The emperor's move is to cut off the flesh of the gentry!
"Since there are no objections, there should be no more troubles in the future! Within ten days, the cabinet will come up with regulations and measures, consider loopholes, and make adequate preparations. After ten days, give the Qingzhang team the power to curb the trend of mergers and surrenders!"
After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he took a deep look at Zhu Di, walked down from the throne and went to the harem.
After the officials sent Zhu Yunwen away, they did not leave Fengtian Hall, but stayed in the hall, talking about it.
"Mr. Xie Ge, what should we do? If we act according to this method, we will suffer a big loss. The court salary is only this, how can we make a living?"
Lian Zining, the censor of Youdu, walked towards Xie Jin and asked with a gloomy face.
After hearing this, the other officials immediately became quiet and looked at Xie Jin.
Jie Jin clapped his hands, nodded slightly to King Yan Zhu Di, and then said to Lian Zining and other officials: "Everyone, you have seen the transformation of the sand table clearly, and you should know the harm of land disputes. The emperor has nothing to do. , If we don’t do this, the sand table will probably be filled with black, and there will be no yellow anywhere.”
"Mr. Xie Ge, we all understand these principles, but if this continues, we will have no way to survive."
Lu Yi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, lamented on the sidelines.
Xie Jin laughed and said: "How do you know that the emperor has not considered what you are worried about? The emperor is a wise king, how can he let us starve?"
"Oh? How do you say it?"
The officials suddenly became excited and asked quickly.
Xie Jin smiled softly and said: "The emperor has ordered the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs to re-determine official salaries. Although there is no clue yet, Xie Jin can assure you that the new salary will be an increase based on the original salary. few."
"really?"
Lian Zining and others suddenly looked happy.
Although everyone knows that compared to what they have lost, the new salary may not make up for one tenth.
But it would be good to make up for it a little bit.
Xie Jin clapped his hands and waited for the officials to calm down before he said: "Everyone, the emperor is merciful and has given you ten days. I believe you all know how to deal with the land in these ten days. Once the cabinet comes up with a strategy, it can be Then we acted in accordance with the law.”
The officials nodded repeatedly.
If you rob someone else's land and return it early, at least you won't have to pay any money.
If you wait for the imperial court to issue documents and notify all parties, you will not only lose land, but also money.
For one tael of silver per acre of land, wouldn’t it mean that someone who occupies 8,000 acres of land would be vomiting blood?
Outside Jiangdong Gate.
Zhu Geng wiped his sweat and said to the calm Zhu Zhi: "Will this trick work? We invested six thousand taels of silver. If we lose, wouldn't we really have to eat cold steamed buns?"
Zhu Zhi sat on the recliner, swinging his legs leisurely and said: "Don't be anxious, the courtiers haven't gone to the Yamen yet. As soon as they go to the Yamen, they will be the ones who are anxious."
Jingqing, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, returned to his residence and wrote a letter quickly. He called two servants and solemnly warned: "This letter is very important. It must be delivered to Zhenning, Shaanxi Province as soon as possible. Handle this letter personally." Leave it in the hands of grandma and let her take care of everything without delaying for a moment!"
