First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Latest website: The experience of causing trouble over the years tells Zhu Di that some things don't matter, and the next day will pass after being beaten. Don't be afraid at all, but some things are untouchable. For example, the second and third children listened to the instigation of those Hanlin masters and played the trick of fighting for succession.

As a result, not only the second and third children were unlucky, but these masters also let their horses in Peiping!

This is the lesson.

In the same way, since it was decided to levy business taxes and support the school’s expenses, one must stand upright and be selfless, and must not have two faces.

Otherwise, the gods all over the world will be able to tear themselves apart.

Zhu Di thought clearly, but Ge Cheng was very impressed and even admired. At a young age, it is already very good to be able to understand this truth, and it is even more gratifying to be able to do it yourself, and to break it without hesitation.

This fourth son of the emperor is really something extraordinary.

Ge Cheng already had complete accounts in hand, and things went smoothly. He opened an account in Peiping Bank, and from now on, all the money transactions of the palace will be brought under the supervision of the tax department.

Now there are two systems in Peiping. One is Zhu Di's left-behind division, which controls the three divisions of the governor, the inspector, and the general commander.

Zhu Di established a new tax department, which was placed under the chief envoy. But in fact, it is directly under the management of the Left Shou Division. To put it bluntly, it is a sharp sword in Zhu Di's hand.

Fang Xiaoru and the others were all officials of the tax department. When the Yan Wangfu also began to obey the arrangement, the entire market in Peiping was shocked.

Who doesn't know that Zhu Di's "bear" name has spread far and wide. Among the princes, he is daring, arrogant and domineering, and he is not afraid of the sky and the earth... Such a thing has bowed his head, and it seems that there is really no escape from paying taxes.

With Zhu Di taking the lead, the affairs of Fang Xiaoru and others became much easier for a while.

In a short period of time, more than 1.5 million taxes were recovered, and a huge sum of 3.5 million was forcibly entered into a bank account for supervision and management.

If you can manage it, you will naturally be able to collect taxes.

According to the most conservative estimates, this tossing can also increase the tax revenue of Peiping by more than five times.

Every three days, Fang Xiaoru and others would collect a batch of bills and send them to Zhu Di.

And Zhu Di's happiness has also become simpler... This is 200,000 pieces, which can be used to order school uniforms, and give each student a set of woolen clothes, embroidered on Peiping according to the style of the army's mandarin ducks and war jackets. The words of the university hall.

This sum of 180,000 can be used for extra meals for students. It is not easy to eat meat for every meal!

By the way, there is also hiring a famous teacher, which is the top priority.

Why don't you take out an open space and build a house for them?

Just build that kind of small courtyard, with a garden, you can grow vegetables and flowers, and you can enjoy the cold and drink tea.

What kind of study, tea room, should have everything, such a house, plus the furniture and furnishings inside, it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands, and if you invite one hundred famous teachers, it is one million!

And their salaries are even higher. All things considered, one person per year, how could they have to pay 2,000 yuan...

Zhu Di remembered Zhang Shuning's reminder again, just like Xia Zhifeng, she studies astronomy and calculates various data. Just a telescope will cost tens of thousands, not to mention those special measuring tools.

One person is like this, and there are a few more, and the expenses will be terrifying.

There are also physics and chemistry... These things are said to burn money, and the materials they need are often more expensive than gold of the same weight!

Counting, counting, Zhu Di couldn't laugh anymore.

Because it is very likely that on the day of the school year, Zhang Ximeng was polite and far from saying everything... If Zhang Ximeng told all the expenses of running the school, I'm afraid it would make Zhu Di explode in situ! I can't last today!

But since you have chosen this path, you must grit your teeth and go down... First, check the business tax, and then you will harm Koryo and Jurchen. Anyway, you have to squeeze the money out!

I want people to know that what Zhu Di wants to do must be done!

A big man promises a lot of money, he will keep his word, and his deeds will be fruitful... No one wants to stop my Zhu Di's footsteps!

In order to run the school, Zhu Di has ordered the palace to reduce the number of dishes for each meal to two, and one meat and one vegetarian meal is enough... The expenses are too high, life is difficult, and it is not easy.

Just when Zhu Di sighed, Lian Zining rushed over from Tongzhou in a panic.

He first met Fang Xiaoru.

"Sir is this?"

Lian Zining wiped the sweat from his forehead and said eagerly, "It's not me, it's Qi Tai, something happened on his side!"

Fang Xiaoru hurriedly said, "What's the matter? In a hurry?"

Lian Zining said: "Not only is it urgent, but it is also dangerous... Qi Tai checked the taxes and found a fleet from Goryeo. When asked, it was from the navy. He wanted to get on the boat to check, As a result, after being invited up, I haven't come down, and it has been almost two days until now!"

When Fang Xiaoru heard it, it was very fresh. Has there been no royal law in this Ming Dynasty?

The navy people actually detained the officials of the Beiping Taxation Department, and detained them for more than two days!

"Mr. Lian, now that Mr. Qi is in a crisis, we should send someone to rescue him."

Lian Zining nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm here to see King Yan!"

The two came to see Zhu Di together, and when they heard the word "Navy", Zhu Di was also startled. Lian Zining observed his words and looked and found that Zhu Di was hesitant. Could it be that this arrogant King Yan was also afraid?

"His Royal Highness, we are still more than 200 miles away from Dagu entrance. Qi Tai has been detained for more than two days. If I go late, I am afraid that he will have an accident!"

Only then did Zhu Di shake his head, "Okay, immediately order, mobilize troops and horses, follow this king, and go to Dagu to save people!"

Lian Zining and Fang Xiaoru went to pass the order, and Zhu Di sat there, pondering briefly.

It stands to reason that he is not afraid of Zongzheng Temple, just a mere sailor, what can be amazing.

But Zhu Di was not stupid. He vaguely remembered that Lan Yu had mentioned that Daming's navy started from Chaohu Lake, and the Chaohu navy was the Yu family and the Liao family who had the final say.

Although Fang Guozhen surrendered later, he was the overlord of the party and could not integrate into the core of the Daming Navy.

After all, the navy is still the world of these two families.

Moreover, when Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng were killed that year, the case also implicated the navy, but only some ordinary generals were dealt with, and the core was not touched.

There are also rumors that the navy is Zhang Ximeng's private land, and no one dares to touch Zhang Xianggong's people.

But Lan Yu told Zhu Di that Zhang Ximeng didn't care about the navy at all, or that Zhang Xiang didn't care about the navy, but overseas interests, but the development of the navy in the Ming Dynasty was slow, far less than the number of stars on the land, and the talented people came out in large numbers. ...

Although Zhu Di couldn't tell exactly what was going on here, he vaguely felt that 80% of the time something was going to happen.

He thought about it again and again, and just before he left, he called Hua Wei and instructed him a few words, and told him to go to the school and tell Mr. Zhang after Zhang Xiang gave a lecture.

"Your Highness, are you afraid of anything? I thought you were not afraid of anything?" Hua Wei exaggerated.

Zhu Di glared at him fiercely, "I am still young, even if I am old, I will run amok in the world!"

After he finished speaking, Zhu Di set off decisively, leading two thousand elite soldiers of the palace, and rushed to Dagu to rescue Qi Tai.

As for Hua Wei, he went to the school and waited until Zhang Ximeng gave a lecture before he came up to greet him. As Zhang Ximeng returned to his residence, he told Zhang Ximeng the story of Zhu Di going to Dagu to save people.

When he heard that the navy detained Qi Tai, Zhang Ximeng frowned and was furious. Obviously, Zhang Ximeng was really angry this time.

It's not as simple as being deceived by Zhu Di.

Zhang Ximeng was by no means ignorant of the sailor's situation. But if you know it, you know it, and you can't go to a group of heroes who have made a lot of credit just because of some rumors.

Just like dealing with Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng, there must be sufficient evidence.

But on the side of the navy, there are more troubles than them, and things are thousands of times more complicated.

Even Zhang Ximeng didn't expect that this time Beiping's business tax would be implicated in the matter of the navy, which really surprised him.

"Zhang Xianggong, His Highness asked me to tell my husband that he is going to save people, so there will be no danger, right? Why don't you ask Zhang Xiang for help!" Hua Wei said cautiously.

Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "I can't get to that stage yet. If King Yan doesn't even pay attention, this is not a navy master of Daming, but a group of rebels. Don't say anything, just wait and see what happens. That's it!"

Hua Wei was still worried about Zhu Di, but Zhang Ximeng said so, he had nothing to say and could only retire.

After Hua Wei left, Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, and immediately called someone and asked him to invite Hu Dahai over.

...

At the moment of Dagu, in the cabin of a big ship.

Hot and humid, the strong smell irritates the nostrils. Qi Tai and his two followers had not eaten for three days, but drank some turbid water.

At this moment, they were paralyzed in the cabin, and they didn't even have the strength to move their fingers. It was no different from waiting for death.

Qi Tai tried his best to widen his bloodshot eyes, looking helplessly at the deck above his head.

He didn't believe that the navy of Daming would be so arrogant and unreasonable, he just asked to board the ship to check to see if he had any extra supplies.

This is the content of the recent scrutiny, mainly to prevent officials from taking the opportunity to carry materials and avoid taxes.

He first negotiated with the navy, but the group did not agree anyway... Later, he even asked Xingwen to stay behind at Beiping, and the navy finally nodded.

But only allowed Qi Tai to bring two people on board, and Qi Tai agreed.

But who would have guessed that after they got on the ship, they were detained directly in the cabin and became prisoners!

In this Ming Dynasty, is there still Wang Fa?

The people of the navy, if you want to rebel, will you fail?

It's just a tax, why is it so difficult?

Qi Tai's heart roared with grief and anger.

Time passed by minute by minute~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because they were locked in the cabin, Qi Tai and others didn't know whether it was day or night. The only thing I know is that the physical strength is continuously lost, and the spirit is getting more and more slack.

They no longer feel hungry, only a faint consciousness remains, and they tell them that they are alive.

Just when he was about to pass out, footsteps suddenly sounded, and it seemed that someone was there!

Then the deck opened, someone came down, they exclaimed, ran in front of Qi Tai and the three, carried them on their backs, and took them out of the cabin...

In this Ming Dynasty, there are still some royal laws!

This was Qi Tai's last thought, and then he fainted.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, we're just joking, there's nothing to do with people... you can take it back." The naval commander said with a smile,

Opposite him, is Zhu Di with a dark face...
