Daming reckless man

Chapter 662

After Jiajing heard what Zhang Hao said, he was very shocked. He agreed with what Zhang Hao said in his heart, and then looked at the ministers and said, "You heard Zhang Hao's words just now. Our Ming Dynasty is still in danger, Tatars, Japanese pirates, and so on. There are interiors, and the greatest threat is the interior.

Internal turmoil needs to be solved fundamentally. Doesn’t it mean that repression is enough? Repression cannot solve the problem. In the past dynasties, has repression been able to solve the rebellion of the people?Therefore, it is still necessary to improve the living standards of the people. As Shen Yong said, it is necessary to let those workshop owners produce well!Zhang Hao, is there a specific solution? "Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao while talking, and the other ministers also looked at Zhang Hao.

"Yes, you can set up a workshop area in the Beijing-Tianjin area, that is, set up a workshop here, with tax relief. In addition, those goods are sold here in the country, and no tax can be collected anywhere. This tax has been collected by the court. It's over, if the local government continues to collect taxes, it will violate the regulations, and the court can investigate and deal with it.

Now our officials all over the country want to collect taxes on passing goods. This is not acceptable. Although the people are the ones who suffer, it is the court in the end. After all, the people cannot afford those goods, and the court has no tax to speak of! "Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.

"Well, good idea, Yan Song, what do you think?" After hearing this, Jiajing thought about it, nodded and said.

"I also agree that taxation is indeed very chaotic. As Lu Anhou said, if it can be unified, it will be good for me, Ming, and it will be good for the common people! In addition, the establishment of a workshop area The proposal is also good, as a pilot, I think it is possible!" Yan Song immediately clapped his hands and said, and the other ministers also nodded.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best for King Yu to manage this area. His Royal Highness will supervise it personally. I believe that the ministers below will not dare to mess around, and the local officials will not dare to mess around!" Zhang Hao immediately suggested. .

"Okay, Zhang Hao, you write the memorial right away, and give it to me for reading. When the time comes, I'll give you a reply, and how much money it will cost, I'll give it to you!" Jiajing said very happily when he heard it.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said immediately, cupping his hands, and then chatted about other things.

The next day, Jiajing continued to inspect the vicinity of Tangshan, and found that those who worked in the workshops were doing well, but the people farming were still very poor. They just said that they could eat enough, but they ate well and dressed well. It is impossible.

For the next few days, Jiajing inspected the area on Hebei Road. The farther away from the capital, the poorer the people lived.

But the people all said that His Majesty is good, and gave them fields so that they could have fields to plant, so that they could have enough food and not go hungry.

Along the way, Jiajing's complexion was not very good, and those ministers also noticed that no one dared to speak at this time, knowing that it would be unwise to provoke Jiajing at this moment.

On the last day, Jiajing's convoy had almost reached the capital, and was now resting in a small county.

Jiajing greeted Zhang Hao and the others to come and sit down. Seeing Jiajing's bad face, the ministers dared not speak.

"Zhang Hao, did you see it?" Jiajing sat there, pouring tea for Zhang Hao and said.

"Your Majesty, I saw it!" Zhang Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Then solve it. I hope that the people in the world can live a good life. I hope you can solve this matter. Also, King Yu, you take him to the south. I want King Yu to know that the people in the world How to live!
He has to know it well. If I don't come to see it this time, I always thought that the people's life is good, the clothes are warm, and there is meat for food. However, after seeing it this time, I know that I am wrong, wrong Outrageous! " Jiajing sat there and said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, there is no way around this!" Zhang Hao said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it's the ministers who have neglected their duties!" Yan Song and the others immediately stood up and cupped their hands.

"It's your dereliction of duty. You are indeed ashamed of the official uniforms you wear. I handed over the world to you before, and you made me look like this. If I didn't come down to see it in person, if someone else told me, I can't believe it at all!" Jiajing looked at them with a grim expression at the moment.

A few of them lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Zhang Hao, how much money is needed in that workshop area, what kind of land is needed, what kind of policy, you tell me, I support you, and in addition, I plan to continue to exempt people from taxation for another three years, especially farmers, must be tax-free , and the matter of Yongyetian, I have to finish it thoroughly, so that every commoner has his own acre of land!" Jiajing sat there, looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

"Tatar, if they don't come to provoke us, we won't fight back against them. Now we need to improve the lives of the people, and the Japanese pirates must be completely solved. Now the tariffs of several checkpoints in our court can bring us 800 million taels of Ming Dynasty. The tax is enough for the court, if the sea is opened, I believe the tax will be higher, so we have to have a priority for this matter!" Sitting there, Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Yes!" Zhang Hao continued clasping his hands.

"Well, sit down, I will leave all matters concerning the industrial zone to King Yu and Zhang Hao. If Zhang Hao needs any people, you will let them go. If you need to vacate any areas, you can execute them.

The people are too poor, we need to change, so, your cabinet will discuss this matter when the time comes, and if anyone dares to block or oppose it, then don't blame me for being rude! " Jiajing stared at Yan Song and the others and said.

"Don't dare!" They immediately cupped their hands and said, now they really dare not disobey Jiajing's meaning.

Jiajing now completely controls the military and financial power. In addition, Jiajing has also stepped in in terms of personnel. This time, many county magistrates were arranged by Jiajing. Therefore, the power of the cabinet has been emptied by Jiajing.

The next day, Jiajing's convoy returned to Chang'an City, and Zhang Hao also returned to the mansion. Xu Shiyun saw Zhang Hao coming back, and went to remove Zhang Hao's armor.

"How is the child now?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"It's very naughty. You'll find out later when you go and have a look. Is this business trip going smoothly?" Xu Shiyun asked while removing Zhang Hao's armor.

"It's not bad. I need to write a memorial later. If anyone comes to ask for an interview, they will all disappear. I will talk about it after I finish writing the memorial!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

"But what happened?" Upon hearing this, Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and said, Zhang Hao had never done this before.

"It's nothing serious. Your Majesty asked me to write it. I've been telling you for several days. Before I needed to protect Your Majesty, I couldn't calm down and write it. Now that I'm back home, I can do it with peace of mind. These memorials will be released tomorrow morning." It has to be sent to His Majesty, so this matter cannot be delayed!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun nodded. After taking off the armor, Zhang Hao went to take a bath. Xu Shiyun took care of him. Then he went to the study and began to write the memorial, which was related to the workshop area.

On the road before, Zhang Hao had already thought about it, so he wrote it very quickly.

It took almost an hour for Zhang Hao to finish writing. After carefully reading the memorial and checking that there were no problems, Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction.

And Xu Shiyun outside saw that Zhang Hao had finished writing, so she entered Zhang Hao's study.

"Well, master, but are you done?" Xu Shiyun asked.

"Well, I just finished writing, what's the matter?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Liu Yunhai has been waiting outside. Just after you entered the study, he came over. My concubine asked someone to tell him that the master just gave orders, and no one is here today. He needs to write a memorial, so he has been waiting outside!" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao.

"Oh, okay, let him in!" Zhang Hao thought about it, and said to Xu Shiyun.

"Okay, the master wants to keep him to eat at the house, and the meals are ready!" Xu Shiyun continued to ask.

"Alright, send it to the study then!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

Soon, Liu Yunhai arrived at Zhang Hao's study.

"I've seen Commander-in-Chief, and I'm exhausted, so it's not right for me to disturb you!" Liu Yunhai said immediately when he reached Zhang Hao's side.

"Well, it's okay. I was just about to write a memorial. I was afraid of being disturbed, so I asked no one to see me. What's your business?" Zhang Hao nodded and motioned him to sit down.

"Yes, my lord, the main reason is that you have been out these few days, my lord. I need to report to you what happened in the capital, so that my lord can know what's going on!" Liu Yunhai said with a very low attitude.

Now he does not dare to do what he did before, when Zhang Hao came back from outside for a few months, Liu Yunhai did not come to see him at home, nor did he report on his work.

"Oh, it's okay, in a few days, nothing big will happen! Mr. Liu, don't be so anxious, by the way, you haven't eaten, and we will eat with me later!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai with a smile.

"Yes, then I will bother you, um, there are two things that still need to be decided by adults!" Liu Yunhai said with a smile immediately, being able to eat at Zhang Hao's house shows that Zhang Hao still let him go.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Hao asked.

"It's like this. Those vassal kings have returned to Beijing one after another. Some of the vassal princes' sons, when they arrived in the capital, inevitably went to visit various places. Therefore, there will be some small misunderstandings, which will make the people in the capital dissatisfied. In addition, the Jinyiwei Prison is indeed It is full, and now I dare not arrest people, should some people be dealt with, or else, now that we have found some officials, we dare not arrest them, there is no place to put them!" Liu Yunhai immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, about the prison cell, I will talk about it later, do those sons of the vassal princes still dare to mess around in the capital?" Zhang Hao said at this moment, staring at Liu Yunhai angrily.
