Shen Shixing took Tang Yi as his teacher, and Longqing also studied Tang Studies, so he was a brother of the same sect. The www.biquge.info quickly understood the problem that Shen Shixing said, for all dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of money, the gold and silver production in the Central Plains was limited, and many remote places lacked currency, so they had to barter, which was called natural economy in Tang Yi's book.

Long Qing was deeply impressed, as Wu Tiancheng and the three of them said, a whip method seems to be a big deal, but in fact, it will hurt ordinary people, the common people are already poor enough, if they do it again, wouldn't they be ruined and flee to death? When the time comes, the world will be chaotic.

"Master Tang, I heard that after the opening of the city, a large amount of gold and silver poured in, and the people still have no money in their hands?"

When it came to silver, Long Qing's reaction was half a beat faster than Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, I have to say that there is a specialization in the art industry, and the old Zhu family is sensitive to money.

"Your Majesty, it is true that a large amount of gold and silver has flowed in, which has alleviated a lot, but these gold and silver are mainly concentrated in the southeast and in the cities, and a whip law is aimed at villages, towns and villages, and it is inevitable that there will be an imagination of insufficient currency. It is also possible for unscrupulous profiteers to take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth, lend money at high interest rates, and take advantage of the opportunity to exploit the people. ”

Long Qing nodded slightly, and at this time, Wu Tiancheng suddenly stood up again, "Your Majesty, it's not just that, just collecting silver, there are still drawbacks." ”

"Speak." Long Qing was quite appreciative of Wu Tiancheng's vision and said with encouragement.

"If the imperial court levies silver, what are the salaries and salaries?"

This was asked to Zhang Juzheng, and after a pause, Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it's silver." ”

"Then I ask again, can you eat and drink silver?"

Li Youzi glared at her, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Although the silver cannot be eaten or drunk, it is distributed below, and the officials and soldiers can naturally purchase food by themselves, so you don't have to worry about it! ”

Wu Tiancheng was confident, and smiled, "If it is one or two people, maybe you don't have to worry about it, but tens of thousands of officials in the imperial court, millions of male soldiers on the nine sides, just handing out silver, so many mouths, is there enough food on the market?" Will it cause food prices to soar, and if food prices rise, the relative hand will have less things to buy? “

Suck!

The faces of the officials of the Golden Palace changed.

Wu Tiancheng said again: "It is said that the nine sides have to transfer grain from other places every year, and the local grain production is simply not enough. ”

These few questions, including Zhang Juzheng and even Gao Gong, their faces changed.

To tell the truth, for a whip law, it has been implemented for many years, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are both brilliant and intelligent, and they have come up with a lot of countermeasures for the drawbacks that will appear, otherwise they would not dare to stand on this stage.

But I have to say that they did think about the problem simply, or rather, they didn't expect that their opponents were not those Qingliu who could only sit and talk.

Although Wu Tiancheng is Tang Yi's apprentice, for decades, in addition to settling accounts, he has been operating a transportation business, dealing with money all day long, and when it comes to the ability to find business opportunities, he is at least one of the top five in the world.

Han Dewang is not simple, several generations of small officials in their family, relying on Tang Yi's support, entered Shuntian Mansion, and was transferred to the household department, his academic qualifications are not good, he is stunned to be able to do Wupinlangzhong, which shows that his work skills are first-class, and he is clear about the bullshit things below.

Relatively speaking, Shen Shixing is weak, but he is much stronger than ordinary readers, first of all, Shen Shixing suffered a lot in his early years, he even had to send people under the fence, changed his surname to Xu, and only after winning the examination did he recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. The experience of his early years made Shen Shixing familiar with the difficulties of people's livelihood. Secondly, Tang Yi carefully instructed him, and he was deeply aware of the essence of Tang Studies, and then he went to the place for a few years, not the kind of glimpse, but really calm down, to deal with the three sects and nine streams, to restrain his champion light, to look hard, and experience carefully.

At the beginning, he was also puzzled, but to this day, Shen Shixing was full of gratitude, peeked at the teacher, and tears almost flowed out. Without a cold bone, how can there be a plum blossom fragrance! Master was so prescient!

Their words can be described as a blockbuster.

A whip method that was originally shouted loudly was full of loopholes. Including Zhao Zhenji, Ge Shouli, Chen Yiqin and others shook their heads, full of disdain.

Zhang Juzheng could feel the hot gaze behind him, and even Long Qing began to wonder.

We can't go on like this, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain!

Zhang Juzheng suddenly said sharply: "Your words are plausible, are all profiteers and cool officials in the world?" This cabinet has already mentioned that it is necessary to formulate an examination law and evaluate local officials, and they naturally want to curb profiteers, severely punish harsh officials, and protect the people. In short, a whip law is of great benefit and is imperative! ”

When you are-for-tat, don't look at you as a pavilion elder, we will not retreat.

Han Dewang hugged his fists, "Elder Zhang Ge, dare to ask, who is the cashier?" ”

"Magistrates, of course."

"And who's overseing?" Han Dewang asked, Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a while, and Han Dewang hurriedly said: "Give the power of tax collection supervision to the local parents, will they be loyal to their duties, or will they steal from themselves?" I think that the princes of the DPRK and China have their own judgments, and there is no need for the lower officials to say more. ”

Many people nodded one after another, it is true that the loopholes are too big, just relying on a test method, I want to restrain the officials of the world, dream, Zhu Yuanzhang made so many human skin pillows back then, isn't it still useless! In fact, there is a yamen that can be supervised, that is, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the problem is that Zhang Juzheng advocates provincial discussions, that is, to silence the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Okay this time, let's shut up and watch your jokes!

Wu Tiancheng gritted his teeth, stood up again, and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still has a concern, I have to say."

Long Qing no longer underestimated Wu Tiancheng, "You say." ”

"Yes." Wu Tiancheng groaned slightly, "Your Majesty, even if it is true as Elder Zhang Ge said, there will be no such risks, and a whip method will also cause problems. ”

"What's the problem?" Long Qing said curiously.

"According to Zhang Gelao's original intention, the silver was collected from the hands of the gentry, and if there was more land, the more silver would be paid, in other words, the cost of annexing land would increase, and perhaps the annexation would be inhibited."

Long Qing wondered, "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

"Your Majesty, money is like a stream of water, and if it does not flow to the land, it will turn in other directions, most likely in the city, that is, industry and commerce. If this is the case, then the industry and commerce will be prosperous, but the distance between the city and the countryside will be widened, on the one hand, the poor countryside will have to bear the taxes of the imperial court, and on the other hand, the prosperous city will not need to pay silver taels. Isn't this unfairness more than ten times more serious than that of the rich and the common people! ”

To solve the immediate unfairness with greater unfairness, a whip law is indeed full of problems. Wu Tiancheng's words were tantamount to sealing his throat with a sword, not only Zhang Juzheng was shocked, but Gao Gong couldn't keep his composure.

These two brains spun quickly, wanting to refute it, but they couldn't find a suitable reason.

It was Longqing, and he suddenly asked, "Wu Tiancheng, according to what you said, is it necessary to levy a commercial tax?" ”

Before Wu Tiancheng could answer, the officials watching at this time were shocked, my God, a clear acre of land is enough for a big guy, if the commercial tax is still levied, let people not live?

Everyone aimed their anger at Zhang Juzheng, even the tall beard.

The officials jumped the most fiercely, and some of them said that businessmen were trafficking in long distances, and they were in danger of making a little hard-earned money, and they should not pay taxes. There are also people who say that business is the last business, and the commercial tax is levied, and the cart before the horse.

Some people simply attacked Zhang Juzheng, saying that he was ingenious, undermined the law of his ancestors, and had sinister intentions, and should be severely punished......

Everyone was noisy and chaotic, which made Longqing upset, and looked at Tang Yi as if asking for help.

"All the princes are quiet."

Tang Yi faced the Manchu officials with a dark face, "Today, the Golden Palace is arguing a whip method, in order to solve the financial predicament of the imperial court, if the princes have a feasible way, just put it forward." If not, please all step back and don't disturb the Golden Temple!" ”

With Tang Yi's current status, he is like the first assistant, and he is really angry, and no one is not afraid. I had no choice but to retreat. Long Qing's face was also very ugly, one thing that was full of hope suddenly fell short, what to do with the deficit of the household, Long Qing just wanted to be quiet.

"Retreat."

The ministers saluted one after another, full of worries, and Long Qing added, "Master Tang stays." ”

Tang Yi didn't take a step at all, he knew that Long Qingzhun was looking for him, so he had to follow the eunuch to the Qianqing Palace, obviously the two monarchs and ministers wanted to be interviewed.

Looking at Tang Yi's back, Zhang Juzheng's facial features were hideous, he gritted his teeth, he initiated a whip method, but he was defeated by three nobodies, it must be Tang Yi's ghost!

Are you my Zhang Taiyue's natural nemesis?

Gao Gong was thinking more about the words of Wu Tiancheng and others, sure enough, many things were not sitting in the Hanlin Courtyard, and they could be solved by imagination, if they could talk to Tang Yi, maybe there would not be today's defeat, the first shot out of the mountain was dumb, and Gao Gong was worried.

The other personnel, some happy, some worried, almost all thought that a whip was going to end without a problem.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the direction of a whip method is still right, and the essence of it must be retained."

Tang Yi faced Longqing and said thoughtfully: "Simplifying the content of taxation, expanding the tax base, and the officials and gentry paying grain in one can indeed increase the income and facilitate the people of the court." ”

Long Qing hesitated: "Master Tang, what about those drawbacks?" ”

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Naturally, I will find a way to take advantage of it and avoid its harm." Your Majesty, the minister here happens to have a few ideas, and he wants to start playing to His Majesty, just to perfect a whip method. ”

……

Coming down from the Golden Palace, the three names of Wu Tiancheng, Han Dewang, and Shen Shixing immediately resounded through the court, how powerful the tall beard is, Zhang Juzheng is a famous prodigy, and he was deflated in their hands, what is the great thing about the three of them?

After summarizing, the big guy found a key: Tang Xue!

The three of them are all disciples of Tang Xue, and they have studied very deeply, so if they understand Tang Xue, they can look at what they want, and all the mansions are full of figures holding the three books of Tang Xue and reading hard. (To be continued.) )
