Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 455 The emperor who can toss
Regarding the reform of the tax system, this is something that Zhu Yunying has long been looking forward to.It's not just that he was thinking about it after he took the throne, there was such a plan before he took the throne, but now it's officially proposed.

In fact, many people in the court knew that Emperor Yingshi was quite dissatisfied with the two tax laws that began in the Tang Dynasty.

This also made many people complain in their hearts, although the emperor Yingshi was early-wisdom, and he seemed to be regarded as wise and powerful, with many whimsical ideas and so on.However, the vast majority of people are still not optimistic about the reform of the tax system.

Even though there are many shortcomings in the two tax laws, this tax system has been followed for hundreds of years, and the system is relatively complete. It seems that it is indeed more suitable for the rule of a dynasty.

Not to mention that the officials are used to these tax systems, the common people seem to have accepted the two-tax law long ago, even though they may sometimes be dissatisfied.Such a 'rule-based' system also shows its applicability, and there is really no need to change anything.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has just been established not long ago, and many systems have just been established and are still being perfected.

But now, after everyone has just become familiar with it, it changes again. It is estimated that many people will feel uncomfortable in various ways, and many people will also feel dissatisfaction from the bottom of their hearts.This is simply tossing people, and this is simply increasing everyone's workload.

What's more, there are also some people of insight who can see the hidden dangers brought about by the tax system envisioned by the emperor.

Compared with Lao Zhu's extremely strict household registration system, if Zhu Yunying wants to share his household income with his mother, there will obviously be some conflicts.If Zhu Yunying implements the principle of distributing the land into the mu, it will obviously require some changes in the old Zhu's previous system.

The silent old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying, and said angrily, "We pass the throne to you, just to cause trouble for ourselves."

"Why are you just looking for trouble?" Zhu Yunying refused, and this matter had to be discussed carefully, "Grandfather, we don't like to hear that. We became the emperor, but it saved Grandpa Huang a lot of trouble." .If we hadn’t been able to be good emperors, how would Grandpa Huang support his life and entertain his grandchildren!”

To such a cheeky grandson, Lao Zhu said, "For you, we changed the ancestral system, you have to admit it?"

Zhu Yunying nodded, he really had to admit it.Because of Zhu Yunying's series of practices, Lao Zhu's "Ancestral Precepts" has indeed changed a lot after it was written. This is a fact.

"You don't like the vassal kings, and you keep thinking about cutting the vassals." Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying, and continued, "The strategy of the princes we set up before, not to mention the present, didn't work out a few years ago. If you don’t recognize others, you can’t recognize others.”

Zhu Yunying really had to give in to this matter, although there were also princes who became vassals in the early years.It's just that Zhu Yunying kept resisting the vassal king. Old Zhu slowed down the prince's pace of becoming a vassal when Zhu Yunying was a little older, and now he even doesn't allow the prince to entrust the land.

So if you really want to say that the strategy of Zhu Wang Jingbian was really changed because of Zhu Yunying's attitude, Zhu Yunying also admitted this matter.

Old Zhu pointed to Zhu Yunying, and continued, "The country we established before will not be confiscated, and Dongying has silver mines. We will recognize it. How many credentials have been sent from Koryo, and we have been holding back."

Li Chenggui must be depressed. Although he usurped the throne, the Ming Dynasty never recognized Li Chenggui's "legitimate status", and he also assumed that he might send troops at any time. Few people have trouble sleeping and eating, or have other ideas.

Therefore, Lao Zhu also deleted the matter of the country without conquest from the records of the ancestors.After all, he also knew that Zhu Yunying had expectations for many countries around the Ming Dynasty, and they were all 'lands of foundation' to house other clans.

As for the treatment of the clan, or the etiquette system of the clan, etc., Zhu Yunying may have made some efforts in these matters, making Lao Zhu determined to make some changes.

But these things are not necessarily entirely Zhu Yunying's credit. After all, Lao Zhu can also see some shortcomings in those systems, and Zhu Yunying is just a catalyst.

After such an inventory, Zhu Yunying really made Lao Zhu actively or passively change a lot of things, and some of Lao Zhu's blueprints had to be readjusted.

"Let's talk about the north again. We set up a nine-border defense line before." Old Zhu said, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Of course we are happy to see our Ming Dynasty chasing death and chasing the north, but we also cleaned up and rebuilt for you. The defense line to the north."

"We don't recognize this matter!" Zhu Yunying immediately retorted, and this matter must be made clear, "Although we are developing the northern side, when we were in office, we also beat up the Tartars and fled desperately. It's just that we don't think that it is we who let the emperor Grandpa rebuilt the defense line, our Ming army is powerful, this is the foundation!"

Old Zhu glared and became even more angry, "Are you pretending to be confused in front of us? Are you talking about your driving in Liaodong, or about your big victory last year? We're talking about your plan to move the capital to Beiping. That's the root cause!"

This time, Zhu Yunying really couldn't be fooled, because what Zhu Yunying said before was only some superficial reasons.The fundamental reason for the reconstruction of the Ming Dynasty's northern frontier defense line was the fact that the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beiping.

Although the capital has not been completely moved yet, it is just that the fixed capital will not change, it just takes a little time.

And Lao Zhu's reconstruction of the northern frontier defense line did not actually happen overnight.From the time he decided to go to Beiping to build the capital, Lao Zhu has been building the northern frontier defense line for more than ten years.

Seeing that Zhu Yunying no longer pretended to be stupid, Lao Zhu laughed, "We know you can make troubles, but I didn't expect you to be able to make troubles like this! We also admit that we have worked so hard to fight the world, and we want to pass it on to you. Can you It’s true that it’s a toss, and it’s true that it can be done, and we will get tired when we get tired.”

This is also what Lao Zhu said in his heart. Seeing that his precious grandson is so promising, and some "deviating" things have achieved good results, this of course makes Lao Zhu happy and proud.

The opening of the sea ban allowed the Ming Dynasty to bring back a lot of silver or gems, spices, etc., which obviously made Lao Zhu happy.

Old Zhu is very satisfied with Xiao Zhu's actions to beat Yan Shenggong, the head of civil servants, back to his original form, and let Yan Shenggong's lineage return to his direct lineage.

It not only emphasized the distinction between concubine and concubine, but also severely suppressed the arrogance of Confucian disciples, causing the Wenchen Group to suffer a big loss again. This is what Lao Zhu feels most satisfied and proud of.

So having such a grandson who can make troubles, sometimes it will really give Lao Zhu a headache, and sometimes he wants to give him a serious reprimand, so that this kid can be more honest, and govern the world in a steady and steady manner according to the established rules just fine.

But Lao Zhu is indeed happy and proud from the bottom of his heart. With such a promising grandson, Lao Zhu believes that the Ming Dynasty will be more stable, and he believes that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is coming soon.

Seeing Zhu Yunying's smile, Lao Zhu said, "Let's close our eyes, and you can't make it if you go to reform the tax system? This will save us a little trouble, and we won't be messing around with you."

"Yes, of course I can." Zhu Yunying said without hesitation, "We must change it, but it's just a matter of time. When Grandpa Huang is here, he can also see the pros and cons. Isn't that better? ?”

Old Zhu was just smiling at this time, because he knew that what Xiao Zhu said was also reasonable.In fact, if Xiao Zhu really wants to change something, he can completely change it in a few years. There is no need to discuss it at all, Xiao Zhu can make the decision himself.

It's just that after all these years, Lao Zhu is also used to his precious grandson discussing everything big and small with him.Even if there are many things, they are basically routine notifications, and many things are told to Lao Zhu after Xiao Zhu has confirmed the things.

But Lao Zhu is also very clear that this is the respect his precious grandson has for him.

It doesn't matter whether Xiao Zhu is a titular "grandson of the emperor", a crown prince who has accepted the canonization of the court, or the emperor who is now sitting on the dragon chair.Xiao Zhu's attitude has never changed. He has always been used to discussing with Lao Zhu in this way, and will not hide it from Lao Zhu.

As for Lao Zhu, it is actually the same. Many things are left to Xiao Zhu to decide.If there were any troubles, Lao Zhu would definitely jump out immediately to help his grandson or solve a series of troubles.

"Come on, you are our grandson after all, you are so stubborn." Old Zhu looked at Xiao Zhu with a smile, and said, "You go and toss first, and you can achieve the best. If it doesn't work, I guess you can clean it up." Well, it doesn’t necessarily mean we need to check it out for you.”

This is also Lao Zhu's understanding of Zhu Yunying. He knows that although his precious grandson is stubborn and has his own opinions, he just doesn't have the kind of character that will go all the way to the dark.If you really see a mistake, you must correct it immediately.

Xiao Zhu obviously didn't care much about the emperor's authority or face, he was a pure-hearted utilitarian.

"That's good, we can clean up after a while." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We've been planning this matter for a long time. Now that the autumn tax has been collected, we don't have to worry about disturbing the people."

It can only be adjusted after the tax is over, otherwise it will definitely disturb the people.Now, even if it is a good time.

Because the next tax collection will be half a year later.The reform of the new tax system, etc., must have clear regulations in the court, and it can also be known to the vast majority of grassroots officials.

Tossing, Zhu Yunying may be more able to toss, but he doesn't think that he is just tossing.He did it for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. This is the fundamental reason why he likes to toss so much.

The other clans are now busy enjoying the glory of being princes.As for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, what they were discussing was how to govern the world well and how to make the country of the Ming Dynasty more stable and prosperous.
