The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Emperor Hongzhi's complexion became meaningful.

He is not a good man.

But this is the foundation of the ancestors.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "In this matter, Xiao Banpan also thought that Wei Guogong had an antipathy? If he had an antipathy, why did he come to Beijing in a hurry? This is unreasonable."

Xiao Jing immediately said: "Your Majesty ... The slave-servant did not dare to make a rash statement, but the Jianguo government of the Wei Kingdom, Jiangnan, made outstanding contributions. If he rebelled, the slave-servant could not believe it, but ... How could this matter be groundless? Easy to say. "

Xiao Jing felt that he was walking a tightrope. He was not good to offend the Wei State Mansion!

This government, which has continued for more than a hundred years, is intertwined, and is related to almost all princes.

At this time, I dare to fall into such a serious matter, people are not vegetarian.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and sighed: "I also thought that this might just be a fool's affair. Xu and I share a common affair with Daming, and it will never be so. To discuss, tomorrow, I only have to privately call Liu Qing and others. The factory guards, in Jiangnan, have to be energetic. They cannot be visited in secret and need to be investigated. "

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "The slave-servant understands."

Emperor Hongzhi looked tired, and said, "The crown prince is still thinking about the calculations?"

"Yes."

"He." Emperor Hongzhi smiled. "I don't know what he figured out. I don't understand, but my son is extremely clever ... not to mention Ji Fan watching, I feel relieved. "

Despite this saying, what the emperor Hongzhi thought was that there is now suspicion of rebellion by the Wei State Mansion. This rumor can be described as having a nose and an eye. The Wei State Mansion, which controlled so many soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, did not know how many generals. The old Ministry of the Wei State Government, even if it was just in case, was enough to make the court burnt. Because of this, the Emperor Hongzhi had to be cautious.

After all, the prince is the future prince, and there is no sense of worry about it. If he is not there, he does not know whether the prince can control the land of the four seas.

cabinet……

These days, the world has risen, especially after Qianzhuang's land was rent-free, the cabinet was aware that the things that had caused them a lot of discomfort had become easier.

In the past, food requisition was the most troublesome problem. Now, the problems caused by food requisition have been solved.

The royal government's biggest problem in collecting food is the loss.

This loss is extremely alarming, often levying a hundred pounds, and finally half of the storage can be considered lucky.

In order to **** the remaining rations from ordinary people, the local tax collectors, as well as the long-term chiefs who work for the government, every time they go to the countryside to collect food, a lot of manpower is needed. So much manpower is a mouth, so At the same time, this caused great trouble to the court as well as a great burden to ordinary people.

Now the land is rent-free. This land is not for the people, but it is for the people.

The people have enough land to cultivate, enough to feed a family and even a certain amount of surplus grain, so it is not serious to resist the payment of royal grain. Therefore, only need to go to the countryside to collect, there will often not be too much trouble.

On the other hand, rent-free land is linked to the payment of royal grain. If royal grain is not paid, the land will be recovered the following year.

Therefore, the people have a high enthusiasm for food.

That Fang Jifan, instructing his apprentices, set up grain depots in various townships. These grain depots were small in scale and recruited a few people. Naturally, people would come to pay for the grain. Obviously, most of the food-paying areas are in Jiangnan, and other places can use silver to pay for taxes instead of grain. Jiangnan is a water town. When the grain bank is full of food, it uses the water network throughout Jiangnan to send To Fuku, and then escorted into Beijing by water transportation.

Li Dongyang, who also served as Hushu's Shangshu, was particularly enthusiastic about this. He remembered the names of seven or eight people. These were the original parents of the Xishan Academy of Literature. The method of tax collection, therefore, when the first batch of grain was escorted into the warehouse, Li Dongyang suddenly praised these people.

"Liu Gong, this new food tax law, I'm afraid it's about to be rolled out." Li Dongyang found Liu Jian and said with a frown: "Liu Gong knows that the grain storage in the past was at the end of the year, but now ... It ’s early at the end of the year, but this year, there are already four prefectures, and nine counties have escorted the first batch of grains into Beijing. "

Liu Jian pushes his beard. He does not care much about household affairs. After all, he has too many things to manage. Besides, this is Li Dongyang ’s responsibility. Liu Jian will not interfere.

"Oh, it's so early this year?" Liu Jian's words also revealed surprise.

Li Dongyang's mood is not generally pleasant, he smiled and said, "Yeah, not only early, but also this batch of escorted food. Guess what, the loss reported is geometric?"

Liu Jian smiled. He rarely saw Li Dongyang selling Guanzi. This was a happy event, and he boldly guessed: "Will it be 40%?"

The loss of 40% is extremely low. What Liu Jian remembers best is that when Emperor Wen was there, only Yongle nine years in Nanyang broke the record, and it became a story.

Li Dongyang smiled and shook his head: "Guess again."

How can he be in a bad mood? The responsibilities of the household department are nothing more than two, one is out and one is satisfied. And "nah" is divided into "money" and "grain", the money is actually easy to manage, easy to collect, but the grain is different, the most headache, but this grain is an artifact of stable society, all over the capital. If several large granaries nearby are dissatisfied with grain, it is necessary to shake the country. Therefore, for households, the income is now far less than commercial tax, but it is a top priority. This problem can be solved. Can reduce most of the burden.

Liu Jian is a mature person who does not like to play this guessing game, so he smiles: "Come on."

"20%, only 20% loss ..."

"What?" Liu Jian looked shocked.

Li Dongyang nodded and said, "It's just 20%. This bank is rent-free. It looks like it has suffered a loss. But in fact, after the people get the land, they don't need to pay grain to the gentry. With the surplus grain, they hope Continue to rent-free, the enthusiasm for paying grain is very high, even no longer need to send people to the countryside to collect, just sit in the granary to wait for the scale, and then through the grain road to summarize, Liu Gong, Fang Jifan's disciples, yes, It is these prefects and county magistrates who are carrying out this matter in Jiangnan. It is said that it is Liu Wenshan who is leading the matter behind, but Liu Wenshan went to the Franco machine this time, but others left, and the economy left behind The way is still there. It is precisely because of following this rule that parents and officials do a good job in the aftermath, so there will be no disadvantage. "

Liu Jian still looks shocked. This time, he has lost more than 30% of his losses, and he does n’t have to waste a lot of manpower. This ...

He couldn't help saying: "The economic way, what economic way?"

As the first assistant of the cabinet, I thought deeply.

"Treat the people with leniency!"

Li Dongyang continued: "The so-called doctor's punishment for the criminal punishment is for everyone who lives with leniency. That is to say, the tax is levied, that is the case. What they used to think about is how to levy it, and they are thinking about how to make people You can eat a full stomach, have surplus food, and at the same time, how to ensure that the people can get rich, and the problem of taxation can be solved only in the past. In the past, because it is related to the country, all parents and officials have always collected taxes Fu is regarded as a top priority, because it is their black gauze hat that matters. These people, instead of doing the opposite, are ruling the land, hiring Tuntian school captains, establishing farming institutes, and finding ways to promote better varieties, The people who went to the countryside to teach the people to grow grain more reasonably, grasp the status of their land, and even ... set up a disaster prevention mechanism, personally understand the irrigation situation, and some people, think of ways to build a reservoir and store water when the water is needed, Diversion and irrigation ... solved these problems, then other things were solved ... "

Liu Jian nodded constantly, and he began to reflect subconsciously, taking Li Dongyang's remarks as if it seemed very reasonable. In principle, everyone knows that it may be difficult to make these things.

Li Dongyang continued: "In fact, these problems have been solved, so the economic situation of the people can actually be mastered. They have set up granaries in the countryside. The people themselves are willing to take the food themselves and pay for it. Hey ... this Liu Wenshan always breaks the rules, it is really a wizard, and those disciples are willing to do things, all are talents. "

Liu Jian smiled and nodded.

This is actually ... understandable.

Ordinary parent officials, even if they make a little contribution, most people may not be able to take it.

But these new disciples are different ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ They are local, even if they are just a parent official, but they are all cared for in the capital, after all, just follow Liu Wenshan's economic way, and do it with great effort With the achievements, you don't have to worry about your future.

Therefore, these people are simply a stream of cleansing. They never go to camp, and they are too lazy to deal with them in the local area. They can often kill their own bosses, and they will break the rules.

However, they always dare to dare to fight and fight hard. These merits are often reported, and they often make the Beijing-Zhongzhong people astounded.

At this time, Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This method can be implemented. Several people are required to come to Beijing and come to the Hu Ministry. The old man will discuss with them carefully and then draw up a new charter. This matter cannot be delayed. Liu Gong thought How about it? "

After hearing so much, Liu Jian knew enough of the benefits here. Since he did not object, he even said in spirit: "Come on, this matter, the old man came to write an official document, and the old man also wanted to see them."
