Chapter 245: The same crime as the common people

"A few days ago, I walked around the market and saw a street, which was an eye-opener!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, his voice was majestic and angry, and the majestic Fengtian Hall was full of echoes. Liu Chun stood in the pile of military attachΓ©s, just patiently listening.

The affairs of the Xu family are clear to Liu Chun and Liu Chun, and Lao Zhu used this matter as a breakthrough to show his ambition for reform, which can be said to be very appropriate.

Listen patiently to what Lao Zhu has to say!

"Since the beginning of the country, I have strictly forbidden land annexation, let alone occupying people's land and accepting contributions. However, right under my nose, there is actually a street dedicated to this kind of business! On the one hand, they bully the poor people, and on the other hand, they hook up the dignitaries and dignitaries to the Chinese martial arts! ”

"Sometimes, for the sake of a piece of land, they do not hesitate to set up a situation to frame them, lend money and persecute them, and use all kinds of dirty means to get the land in their hands, and then sell it to powerful people for huge profits. They are even more hands-on-eye, changing the yellow book, changing the household registration, turning the household into slaves, and hiding from the court's Tian Fu Ding Yin! ”

The more Lao Zhu spoke, the more angry he became, "What are these people?" Isn't it my Daming's mouse? They are not even big rats, at best they can only be regarded as small rats, and the real big rats are those courtiers who wear official clothes and hold a fortune! Isn't the food I gave you enough to eat, wear, and flowers? If you have to take advantage of the people and regard the people as fish and meat, you must know that the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive! What you're doing, I know exactly what's going on! ”

"The ministers are guilty!"

The civil and military forces on both sides knelt down together, and Liu Chun had no choice but to follow. He swore that he would be fine in the future, and he would never come to the morning to join in the fun.

There is no way to do it today, because the rules for changing the law were drawn up by him, so naturally he has to listen to the rumors.

"It's better to pet the cat at home!"

Liu Chun sighed, the little black cat's face plate at home is getting bigger and bigger, and the fat cheeks are invincible!

Thinking wildly, Lao Zhu glanced at the ministers and snorted.

"I told you this, not to hold you accountable, speaking of which, I am also wrong!"

It's unprecedented!

Lao Zhu actually took the initiative to admit his mistake!

"I used to think that it was not easy to be a scholar, so in order to promote education, I gave Xiucai the power, which could exempt two Ishida Fu and give two slaves. Now that I think about it, there are also defects. ”

"I have exempted the two stone fields from the endowment, but the official field is different from the private field, and the high-grade field and the medium field are different. The situation varies from place to place, so some people collude with officials, and hundreds or thousands of acres of land are all not paid! Moreover, some poor Xiucai's families, not to mention the two stone fields, may not even be able to take out two stone grains, and life is very difficult. They can only study, they don't know how to run a business, and they don't have any savings at home...... Therefore, I decided to allocate an additional three stones of grain every year to all Xiucai, and the rest of the gifts remained unchanged, except that they would no longer be exempted from the field endowment, and the people would follow the example of Xiucai. ”

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "From now on, in the state capitals and counties, there will be no exceptional land, and everything needs to be paid!" ”

Rumble!

Lao Zhu's words scared the officials present!

A lot of people have scolded their mothers, whose bad idea is this?

If you give food, you will inevitably give the land. From two stones to three stones, you! Do we care about that stone of grain? We want to be exempt!

It must be exempt!

Inevitably, how can we avoid taxes on our hundreds of acres, thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of land?

Who gave His Majesty's advice to your majesty, don't let us find out, it's not as good as yours if you find out!

They gritted their teeth and didn't dare to say anything to Lao Zhu, so they could only hold their breath secretly.

Liu Chun was in the crowd, but he shrunk his shoulders, it has nothing to do with me, it was your beloved prince's idea, you go to the prince to settle accounts!

Yoo Chun continued to pretend to be a dead dog.

Lao Zhu was also very happy when he saw that the group was subdued.

He secretly glanced at Liu Chun!

This little rabbit cub is cunning!

Instead of exemption, it looks the same, but in practice, it is completely different. How much can you give to the country's talents!

Solve the problem of exemption, and how much more food can be collected!

Moreover, those poor scholars can get more benefits, and they will be grateful for the emperor's kindness.

What a good idea, why didn't I think of it before?

Do you want to reward Liu Chun with something in front of the ministers?

This stinky boy has done so many things, and he is still an experience official, which is quite aggrieved.

It's time to get him promoted...... However, with this kid's virtue, he should not be willing to become the target of the officials. Well, the credit for coming up with a brilliant idea is mine.

Actually, I also helped that kid block the arrows, and he should be grateful to me...... Forget it, don't be grateful to Dade, just give me some ideas......

Lao Zhu's eyes roamed around Liu Chun's body, and the rewards and official positions all ran away without a trace.

Lao Zhu coughed and continued, "I guess you also know, the original family of Huang Guan, the Xu family!" At best, they are a wealthy family in Chizhou, but they are actually bold, and in the past 20 years, they have occupied five or six thousand acres of land, and they have also tried to buy industries in the capital and annex land! Wolf ambition, insatiable greed! is especially hateful, obviously Huang Guan has restored his original surname, and they are still doing things under the banner of Huang Guan. Not long ago, I gave the Xu family archway and rewarded them for their efforts in cultivating talents! Now it seems that it was I who was blind, and it was they who failed the grace of God! ”

Lao Zhu paused, "According to the law, it is reasonable to send the Xu family three thousand miles to Liaodong to fill the army!" How...... They are guilty of the most heinous crimes, they are unrelenting, they are vicious, they are greedy, they are shameless...... I, even if I am as benevolent as heaven, I will never spare them! Kill! ”

"The men of the Xu family are all beheaded! The rest of the ladies are slaves! No one can intercede for them, and I will never agree! ”

This sentence can be regarded as saving Huang Guan, he is still hesitating, whether to risk his death, with the emperor's words, he can finally pretend to be a grandson with peace of mind, Huang Guan secretly wiped the sweat that did not exist.

Lao Zhu continued, "Since the beginning of the Imperial Pole, I have eradicated Haoqiang, suppressed mergers, and never been soft. However, he is a traitor and a criminal, and he has been banned repeatedly. The former, the rebel minister Li Shanchang, has as many as 3,000 tenants in his family! A small Xu family also has hundreds of tenants! These people are eroding the tax revenue of the imperial court. Big greed, small greed. With these rats, big and small, how should my Ming foundation be? ”

"After much deliberation, I finally made up my mind to overhaul the tax law and levy more taxes on the powerful who have a lot of land...... I...... I figured out one thing, simply inhibiting mergers has little effect. I want those people to know that the annexation of land and property only has to pay a double price, and only in this way can we completely dispel their desire to annex! ”

Is there a thunderstorm rolling in the sky?

Is there a blockbuster?

In fact, among the courtiers present, there were no masters of finance and taxation.

Lao Zhu governs the country, always with a strong small-scale peasant style. For example, he doesn't like to bother. Therefore, it must be exempted, and I will not think of raising the tax and then issuing it to Xiucai.

In Lao Zhu's opinion, isn't this taking off his pants and farting?

But the real master of finance and taxation can understand how big the difference will be between one collection and one release!

Obviously, there is an extra master by His Majesty's side!

The weakest one of His Majesty's has also been made up.

Who is it?

Some clever courtiers have already noticed Liu Chun in the Xungui pile.

Although this kid has a low official position, he wears a flying fish suit, which shows the preference of the Son of Heaven.

It was he who encouraged His Majesty to set up a bank, and now he wants to reform finance and taxation, could it be his handiwork?

If that's the case, this kid is a scourge!

New hatred and old hatred, many people gritted their teeth, eager to swallow Liu Chun.

But obviously, Liu Chun is the favorite of the Son of Heaven, and he can't move him for a while. But don't worry, we're ready to go, just wait to see the show!

Lao Zhu beheaded the Xu family in Fengtian Hall and issued a clarion call for reform, and no one dared to say a word...... But at night, Ying Tianfu suddenly copied an ownerless house.

At first, they were told that this was a secret prostitution and forced a good woman to sell herself.

When the officials came to arrest them, they found that although there were many beautiful women inside, they were not prostitutes at all.

But the question is who are the more than a dozen women in such a big house? How come there is not even a master!

They pressed the question, but the woman was unwilling to speak, so she had no choice but to search around, and as a result, a lot of letters and account books were found in the secret room, as well as land deeds!

After getting it, Ying Tianfu was also stupid.

It's really stupid!

Most of the letters came from Changsha, which was a courtyard of Tan King Zhu Zi in Beijing! Those women were all concubines bought by Zhu Zi, and as for the land deed, it was Zhu Zi's property in Beijing.

He goes back to Beijing to visit Lao Zhu almost every year, and he has a bunch of beauties, so he can't do it without income.

After a rough inventory, these fields have more than 3,000 acres, and there are also a number of shops and workshops......

Ying Tianfu is holding these things, just like holding a hedgehog!

This is the son of His Majesty, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty!

Should you hand it in, or should you hide it?

Ying Tianfu was entangled, but someone had already secretly thrown the information that recorded the list of Tanwang Villas to several iron-clad imperial historians!

The imperial history that got the information was all bright!

Good boy!

That's amazing!

King Tan is His Majesty's eighth son, except for a few sisters-in-law, he is the most favored.

His Majesty just reprimanded the Xu family in the Golden Palace and cut off his head. What King Tan did was much more serious than that of the Xu family. The Xu family is going to do it, and the king of Tan has already done it!

Even if you are the son of the emperor, the knife will not cut you on the head.

But poking it out is enough to embarrass His Majesty.

The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the law is strict, if he is not punished because he is a vassal king, he must see how he can serve the people!

The imperial historians wrote a note overnight, preparing to impeach Zhu Zi!

Almost at the same time, Lao Zhu also received a secret report from Jinyiwei, can Ying Tianfu have no Jinyiwei's people!

"This rebel!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his teeth, "Don't you dare to kill you?" It's not like I haven't done anything about killing my relatives in righteousness! Take your head, change the new tax code, it's worth it! ”
