Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 203
Zhu Xiongying also studied the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, basically focusing on the two tax laws of the Tang and Song dynasties.

According to the junior high school history textbook, the implementation of Zhang Juzheng's whip method also increased the tax revenue of Daming by a large margin.In general, the system of taxation and corvee was established, inheriting the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty and starting from the Qing Dynasty's appropriation of the land into the mu.

At that time, it seemed to be a passive move by the intensification of social conflicts in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also an active choice for the development of the commodity economy in ancient China to a certain extent.However, such a policy has indeed greatly simplified the tax system and facilitated the collection of taxes.At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, thereby increasing fiscal revenue.

As for such a policy, it is naturally not perfect, and there are still many negative aspects.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying is not a 'perfectionist', he also knows that there is no such thing as a perfect policy.I can't find it now, and I won't have it in the future.No matter what kind of tax system it is, it actually has both positive and negative aspects.

It's normal to have thoughts, but it's another matter to be able to do some planned things well.

As a matter of fact, Zhu Xiongying doesn’t need to worry about taxation. After all, it’s not too long since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Now he doesn’t need to worry about land annexation and other issues. This is usually only in the middle and late stages of a dynasty. problems that will be exposed.

At this stage, it is better to continue to let areas like Suzhou suffer a bit, because what Zhu Xiongying needs to consider is the whole country.Other places are still developing and restoring people's livelihood, including places like Jingchu, which are not yet real grain-producing areas. This is not because the Lianghu area in the Qing Dynasty became a major grain-producing area.

Tax matters should be considered, but this is not the most urgent matter for Zhu Xiongying, he can wait for a while, and he can also deal with other matters first.

Xu Miaoqing is in a good mood, mainly because during this period of time she has also tasted more and more the taste of being the most honorable woman in the world.

"Husband, these days there are many wives giving instructions to my concubines." Xu Miaoqing immediately said after taking off Zhu Xiongying's cloak, "Most of the honorable families still obey orders for moving the capital."

Squeezing Xu Miaoqing's face, Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "Oh? Then you should talk to Ben Gong about how these people express their views?"

Xu Miaoqing blushed, but she still enjoyed Zhu Xiongying's intimacy, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty after all, and there are many things that are not easy to talk about with honorable people. These days, those wives mostly ask their concubines to inquire about the land price in Beiping." , or ask the aunt or princess about the location of Huangzhuang."

This can be regarded as a smart approach, and it is also the simplest thing to express one's attitude. In fact, everyone can see some tricks in it.

The location of Huangzhuang, or the land price in Beiping, can be easily found out.Don't talk about noble people, ordinary people with a little brain can know these things by asking more.

But these honorable people came to ask, obviously because these people wanted to express their attitude to Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, through some channels, and prove that they were following in the footsteps of the grandson of the emperor.

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly, some things are really hard to say for the elders, and it is still necessary to save some face, or to be a little respectable.

But if it is a female family member, it is natural to use some reasons such as family and industry to reveal a little bit of the attitude of the family in the chat, which is also a good way of operation.

It looks good now, and Zhu Xiongying is quite satisfied with the statements of these few noble families. What he needs is that these people can be more enlightened. What he needs is that the Xungui Group can support the relocation of the capital more. Those people should also set an example .

After all, the Xungui Group is basically 'resting with the country'. These people and Lao Zhu's family can be regarded as comrades-in-arms on the same warship, and of course they need to advance and retreat together.

Zhu Xiongying asked carefully, and Xu Miaoqing did write down the list of many members of the Xungui Group.

This is a good helper, although Zhu Xiongying also felt that some people could not be counted as his team after seeing the list.Now that those people took the initiative to show their favor to Xu Miaoqing, they were naturally thinking about the strategy of where to go, and they were thinking of getting close to Zhu Xiongying through Xu Miaoqing, which can be regarded as a good idea.

Especially in the face of big issues like moving the capital, these people are eager to express their attitudes. This is a critical moment when they seem to be able to take the initiative to approach Zhu Xiongying, and it seems to them a pretty good opportunity.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't necessarily want to accept these people's gestures of favor. He naturally has enough qualifications to choose his own team now.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaoqing, who were in a good mood, were also chatting about this, about some things about these noble groups.Generally speaking, the Xungui Group also has some background information. Everyone knows that apart from military merits, these people are also relatively close. These people are indeed known to Zhu Xiongying.

It's just that there are indeed some good and bad groups in these honorable groups, which everyone knows well.

The first generation of the Xungui Group basically started with Lao Zhu, so some people are indeed from the Huaixi Xungui Group, many of them are from mud-legged backgrounds, and many of them are indeed nouveau riche Full of temperament.After Lao Zhu established himself firmly in the world, some of these people did not know how to abide by the law.

Take your time, Zhu Xiongying doesn't want to have less scum in his confidants, otherwise it will definitely be a headache.

The move of the capital of the Ming Dynasty has officially started, or at this time, the Ming Dynasty has indeed started the first batch of work to move the capital, and the list of personnel for this batch of central departments of the imperial court has been confirmed.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying also knows that there are a lot of preliminary preparations for such things. Obviously, these things cannot be done immediately. The preparation work must be more fully prepared. Of course, Zhu Xiongying also needs to pay attention to these things.

There is no need to worry too much, the main reason is that these civil and military officials are not getting their salaries for nothing, and each of them actually has their own abilities.Zhu Xiongying is actually very clear about his position and positioning.

He is the grandson of the emperor, he is the crown prince of this great empire, of course there is no problem with such things as diligence, this is an excellent quality.

But Zhu Xiongying thinks it is unnecessary to say that everything must be done by himself.It is indeed enough for Zhu Xiongying to determine the general direction.

Zhu Xiongying has basically decided on moving the capital, and the taxation issue is progressing steadily. Other government affairs are relatively common government affairs. Basically, these are things that a ruler does every day.

In Zhu Xiongying's view, many things are relatively repetitive, and many things do have a fixed process, and government affairs seem to be relatively handy now.

"I have to find a way. It's very important to have a cabinet like this." Zhu Xiongying said to himself, rubbing his wrists and said, "Although the cabinet may have some conflicts with the imperial power, they can indeed help me, and many of them are more repetitive. They can also handle sex work."

Zhu Xiongying also felt more and more that he wanted to be lazy now, and he just needed to check some things. Anyway, he definitely didn't intend to learn from his grandpa, and he grasped all the big and small things.

When it's time to be lazy, you must still be lazy. Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as knowing this, and doing these things can definitely be regarded as a peace of mind.

Old Zhu called Zhu Xiongying over. It seemed that there was an unexpected situation. Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, Zhu Xiongying said, "Our hometown in Fengyang is in a mess, and the migrants are pretending to be our fellow villagers."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly understood that the immigrants from other places must be not used to it after arriving in Fengyang.The group of immigrants also hope to fight against the natives, or stay in the imperial township to pretend to be natives and bully other immigrants.

"Then go clean it up, the state government can take care of these things." Zhu Xiongying didn't care, and said to Lao Zhu, "Those immigrants are not used to being moved to Fengyang. If there is no major fault, it will be minor Punishment is a big commandment. If there is a serious crime, it will naturally be punished severely."

Old Zhu is naturally very satisfied with Zhu Xiongying's attitude. He knows that his grandson has never been a soft-hearted person in the true sense, and his grandson has never been soft-hearted when killing people.

Old Zhu didn't care too much about these things, so he just said to Zhu Xiongying, "This is what we thought, the court is messy, and it's not good for everyone to argue in the early morning. In the future, you have to follow the shift. The first is the Governor's Mansion, the second is the Twelve Guards, the General Administration, the next is the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the second is the Supervision Censor, and the Judgment Officer, then the Ministry of Lihuli Military Industry, and the third is Yingtianfu and the Military and Horse Command Division. The last time is Qin Tianjian."

That's good too, Zhu Xiongying has no objection, listing a sequence of events will save a lot of things in the future.If there is an order, it can be unfolded in an orderly manner in the early court, and there is no need to swarm.

After Zhu Xiongying nodded, Lao Zhu said, "The Situnwei in Kaiping is ready, we think we should send people to go north."

The meaning of Kaiping Four Guards is different, so Zhu Xiongying is naturally very concerned.And now the Kaiping Four Tunwei has been established, thus strengthening the defense capability of the frontier fortress.What's more, at the beginning of the year, some signs of Hu people appeared at the border.

This is a battle to be fought before the capital is moved, a small fight to beat those restless nomads, not to let those people have any chance to breathe, and to let those people continue to feel the high pressure.

Zhu Xiongying did not object to these, and said with a smile, "Okay, grandson will arrange this matter!"

Lao Zhu shook his head and said, "We'll handle this matter, we have to find an excuse, we're getting old. You need to come forward for the court affairs!"
