Daming: Zhu Biao was forced to kill his father-in-law at the beginning

The last governor of Suzhou was Chen Ning.

When Chen Ning was in Xuzhou, he levied very harsh taxes, and often let his subordinates burn people with soldering irons, and the common people and officials at that time suffered from it, calling it "Chen Soldering Iron".

The people fled.

The population of Suzhou is getting smaller and smaller.

When Lao Zhu found out, he immediately removed Chen Ning from his post and escorted him to the capital for investigation.

But.

Chen Ning was also harsh, and did not take bribes.

After the matter was found out, Lao Zhu did not criticize Chen Ning, but made him a Zhongcheng in the imperial history.

In order to appease the people of Suzhou, Lao Zhu was exempted from taxes for one year and forced labor for three years.

Zhao Jun was lucky.

When he took office, the imperial court happened to announce the news.

The people put all the credit on Zhao Jun and were grateful to him.

So.

Zhao Jun was much more relaxed when he was in Xuzhou.

Not long after he became the prefect.

Zhao Jun proposed a tax reform plan to Lao Zhu on the shortcomings of his predecessor.

The main content of the first is to combine the field tax and forced labor that have been levied separately since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty into the summer and autumn taxes, which are collected together.

The second is that the prefecture and county need to be forced to do labor every year, and they will pay for recruitment from the two taxes collected, and they will no longer be forced to recruit people for compulsory service;

The third is to incorporate the former local tribute and the expenses that were handed over to the Beijing treasury for annual needs and left in the local area for supply to be included in the tax collection

Fourth, the land and acres are the objects of taxation and are converted into silver coins

Fifth, in the process of combining the collection of land levies and forced labor, local officials may make some adjustments to individual items, but the total amount of taxes cannot be reduced, so as to ensure the state's fiscal revenue

Sixth, taxes on salt, tea, wine, commerce, and mining will continue to be levied separately.

Most of these tax reform methods were designed by Ye Cheng.

In fact, it is a whip method that was gradually perfected in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

A whip law not only simplified the tax system, but also expanded the tax burden, and to a certain extent played a role in inhibiting annexation, equalizing servitude, and guaranteeing state revenue;

Meantime.

The people's personal dependence on the imperial court has been relaxed to a certain extent.

Lao Zhu discussed with the courtiers for a long time, and in order to restore production in Suzhou, he finally agreed to Zhao Jun's proposal.

But.

These tax policies can only be piloted on a small scale in the state government.

In the second year of his tenure as prefect, Zhao Jun began experimenting with a new tax policy, but did not include forced labor in his taxes.

Early.

Zhao Jun also adjusted the method of collecting the levy tax, adding a small amount of commercial tax, and large merchants such as Wantong Money Cabinet and Yipinju bore the vast majority of the levy tax, and a small part was extracted from the government.

So.

Even when the three-year exemption period expires, the people no longer have to serve the forced labor.

Even.

In the off-season, you can also help repair the river and earn a little money.

Lao Zhu knows all these things.

Zhao Jun has indeed done a lot of good things for the Suzhou Mansion.

The

people of Xuzhou have a good impression of him, and they don't want others to get involved in the affairs of Xuzhou, and it is understandable that they don't want King Zhou to go to Xuzhou to become a vassal.

Lao Zhu asked quietly: "If you don't let King Zhou go to Suzhou, then tell me, where should he go?"

Chen Han said quietly: "If you want me to see, it is worthy of the name to let King Zhou go to Luoyang or Kaifeng Mansion to become a vassal!"

Chen Han was a little proud.

This guy was instigated by Hu Weiyong's slaves to come to the capital to beat the drum.

But.

They didn't let him say that.

Chen Han has been a man of Hongwu for three years, and he still has some ink in his stomach.

He said so.

It didn't mean to behave in front of Lao Zhu.

Where to know.

Draw a snake then put legs on it.

His remarks aroused Lao Zhu's suspicions.

Change Luoyang or Kaifeng to the fief of King Zhou.

But it was something that Lao Zhu was considering.

Chen Han is a common man, and An Neng has this insight.

Could it be that Zhao Jun didn't want to press another vassal king on his head, and took the opportunity to let Chen Han use the name of public opinion to obstruct King Zhou's accession to the domain?

But.

King Zhou did not become a vassal until two or three years later.

Zhao Jun is letting people talk about things now, but he is a little too anxious.

Lao Zhu said with a dark face: "We know what you said, I will give an explanation to the people of Suzhou!"

Chen Han said anxiously: "When will the emperor give me an explanation?"

"Wait!" Lao Zhu said: "There will definitely be a result in this matter before King Zhou becomes a vassal!"

Chen Han walked out of the palace with a bitter face.

He didn't dare to leave without permission, so he had to find an inn to stay temporarily.

Lao Zhu didn't feel good in his heart.

He brought the crown prince Zhu Biao over and told Chen Han about it, and asked: "Biao'er, the development of Suzhou Mansion is not bad now, do you say that Zhao Jun and Ye Cheng are worried about it and don't want the fifth child to pass?"

"Where does my father want to go, Ye Cheng is definitely not such a person!" Zhu Biao said with a grin: "If you want to know if this matter has anything to do with Ye Cheng, just ask him?"

Lao Zhu nodded.

Zhu Biao invited Ye Cheng and Chang Xuan to the East Palace for a meal.

Dinner.

Zhu Biao opened his mouth and asked, "Ye Cheng, do you know Chen Han?"

"Chen Han?" Ye Cheng thought carefully for a long time and said, "I don't know if what you said is a person I know, there is indeed such a person named Chen Han in Enrong Academy, he is the Xixi of the academy, and I personally found him to teach in the academy!"

The Ming Dynasty did not hold the imperial examination for the time being.

When Ye Cheng founded the academy, it was just to teach people to read and write.

Chen Han is enough to be a teacher.

He was one of the first people Ye Cheng invited to the academy.

Ye Cheng didn't hide it.

Zhu Biao is more trusting.

He told Chen Han about going to the capital to beat the drum, and said: "My father didn't promise him anything, and even suspected that you and Lord Zhao were obstructing it and wanted to occupy Xuzhou." "

Ye Cheng shook his head: "There is no need for this, although Wantong Money Cabinet and Yipinju originated in Suzhou, they have all developed, and now Suzhou does not have a big effect on our ancestors and grandchildren, besides, King Zhou and I have a good relationship, if he is in Suzhou, maybe it will help us more, there is no need to stop it!"

No local official can stay in one place for a lifetime.

Maybe.

It won't be long before Zhao Jun will be transferred.

Let Chen Han come over and fix this play.

It's really a snake to add to.

Is it just to cause dissatisfaction with my father and myself?

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "I believe in you!"

After eating.

Ye Cheng and his wife left.

Zhu Biao went to Kunning Palace to tell Lao Zhu and Queen Ma, who were also eating, about seeing Ye Cheng.

"It seems that Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang are doing things behind their backs, and those Huaixi generals can't do such a thing, so if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it!" Lao Zhu snorted coldly and said: "Some people in Chongming's interests take it very seriously, and they don't want Lao Wu to interfere at all!"
