After the little eunuch below had been working on it for more than half an hour, he compared the results they calculated with the final figures reported by the cabinet.
"Hangzhou government's tax collection today has been verified to be correct."
"The Suzhou government's tax collection today has been verified to be correct."
"Today's tax collection by Ningbo Prefecture has been verified to be correct."
………………
After listening to the little eunuch's report.
Zhu Jianshen picked up the memorial given to him by Li Xian, the cabinet minister.
"The wine and meat in the Zhumen stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have sent me memorials that the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I know that in many remote places, there are still thick bones on the roadside... These wealthy gentry are all I have a lot of money, and I still try my best to evade the taxes arranged by the court. Hey, it seems that stricter tax laws must be formulated to further prevent this situation. Otherwise, after I leave Nanjing, within five years, I will still be like this... "
Zhu Jianshen said coldly.
After hearing this, Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi, who were behind him, quickly raised their heads and looked at each other.
The meaning of His Majesty the Emperor is very obvious.
Let the two of them go out and do some activities.
In the past, if the emperor had any ideas, he would throw them all to Xu Youzhen, but now His Majesty the Emperor has completely changed this style. He has some new ideas and asks Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi around him to do them.
"Your Majesty, strict laws should be set up to avoid these unkind scholars..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but the servants don't know where to start if strict laws are set..."
The two people replied one after another, hoping to get some direction, and then spread it to the ears of some censors, so that they could take a closer look.
"Tell me, do they love money or fame..."
"Businessmen love money, but these squires from scholarly families, whose families have had officials, should love fame. Being named on the gold list is one of the four happy events..." Zhao Huanong said hurriedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think Eunuch Zhao is right. These wealthy squire families have so much land and industry in their hands. If the fame and wealth of their descendants are put together, they will definitely choose fame..."
After Zhu Jianshen listened to what the two people said, he chuckled and said, "Then let's start from this aspect."
"If there are more wealthy squires who evade taxes in the future, I don't want their lives or their money..."
"For those of the same race and clan who have not received the Five Blessings, one household has been evading taxes and money. Once found out, the children within six generations of the same ancestor are not allowed to take part in the imperial examination. For those of the same clan and the same clan who have not received the Five Blessings, if they have an official position, they will be directly Depose, belittle..."
"If this strict law can be promoted, these wealthy squires will be in awe...it will also make the new tax system more stable."
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking.
Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi both took a breath of air.
Although this law seems to be bloodless, for these squire families, it is more serious than killing the main culprit when caught.
In the Sixth Dynasty, members of the same clan who are within the five blessings cannot participate in the imperial examination. Even those who have passed the imperial examination before and were assigned official positions will be dismissed from office.
This means that your entire family no longer has anything to do with the imperial court.
The entire family has lost the opportunity to go further, and future generations have also lost the opportunity to shine. In the future, not even a royal decree or archway will exist. The official uniforms in the ancestral hall and the rewards of the kings of the past will also be taken away. .
There are no cards left at all.
He also became the sinner of the entire family. Not only did he fail his descendants, but he also failed his ancestors.
All the glory of our ancestors back then was bought with 1,280,000 pieces of silver.
Weighing the pros and cons arises in everyone's mind.
When your harvest risks subverting your own family and hopes, you will always hesitate.
And Zhu Jianshen also knew that what he was talking to Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi was quite simple, but some things took time to do.
But no matter how hard it is or how long it takes, the goal remains the same.
The transfer of financial pressure must be done in Zhu Jianshen's generation.
Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will still follow its own old path and be overthrown by the angry, hungry, and impoverished people of their old Zhu family's empire.
There is no dynasty that lasts for thousands of years, but there is a system that lasts for thousands of years...
After the calculation, Zhu Jianshen did not rest directly, but took Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi out of the palace.
The carriage outside the door is ready.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen was not going to the Qinhuai River this time. There were many acquaintances there, and it would be hard to explain if he met them.
More than thirty armed guards followed the carriage on both sides.
In front of Zhu Jianshen's carriage, there was also a group of armored soldiers arranged to patrol the city.
Originally, there were more than 20 people in the team, but now it expanded to more than 60 people, a total of three times.
Behind the carriage, there was also a group of armored soldiers patrolling the city, the same number of people.
Zhu Jianshen sat in the carriage and looked at the street outside from time to time.
It was already late at night.
The place Zhu Jianshen went to was his old father's residence, behind the Confucius Temple.
It's not the right time, why would you want to visit Zhu Qizhen?
The reason is very simple.
Empty.
Zhu Qi was stunned.
Because of his father's behavior in Jinan City, Zhu Jianshen became less wary of him. Likewise, he indulged him a lot and restored certain freedoms and rights to him.
But Zhu Qizhen is a person who cannot control his desires.
It's okay to be free in the colorful world of Nanjing City.
He was a frequent visitor to the Qinhuai River and one of the eight most beautiful courtesans in the Eight Great Flower Houses, and he won six of them. This was still a high standard of one hundred taels of silver, and he had tried all the slightly more attractive ones below.
A street in Ming Dynasty, asking who is the father.
In the past, Zhu Qizhen had been under the supervision of others since he came back from Mongolia. Once upon a time, for a period of time, he was thinking that the person who was on the throne was his own son. Why was he, the emperor, in the Ming Dynasty? Without feeling any warmth, even if the person who ascended the throne was his younger brother, he would not have ended up like this.
Sunshine always comes after the storm, please believe there is a rainbow...
He finally got over it.
Of course, Zhu Qizhen’s experience also tells the world that don’t be defeated by the difficulties in front of you. As long as you can survive the difficulties, face them head-on, and overcome them, there will be days of singing and singing every night, and happy and comfortable days...
After arriving in Nanjing, after the incident in Jinan, Zhu Qizhen gained a glimmer of dignity as an emperor and the consciousness of becoming a father.
He was really happy during this time and really enjoyed his freedom, but he forgot about his physical condition.
He is no longer the melancholic young emperor of seventeen or eighteen years old, he is now a middle-aged greasy uncle who is forty years younger...
The long period of indulgence made him almost run away while enjoying himself the day before yesterday.
And the original essence also disappeared and turned into bloodshot...
Frightened and frightened, Zhu Qizhen fell ill.
The news reached the palace at noon. Zhu Jianshen originally wanted to visit his father as soon as possible, and once again prepared for the filial piety.
After everything was put away, another piece of news came, causing Zhu Jianshen to postpone the visit to the evening...
Biquge
