I want to be a grandson

Zhu Yunxi looked at Qi Tai Tiexuan with burning eyes, and said solemnly: I have an idea in my heart, and I will talk to you two today...

After a pause, he said: It is to merge the small silver that has been passed down through the ages into the land tax collection to reduce the burden on the people who have no land and little land. Those with more land will pay more, and those with less land will pay less.
From then on, Ming only had this kind of tax for the common people, so as to put an end to miscellaneous taxes, what do you think?
Not only Qi Tai Tiexuan, but even Zhang Fu and Wang Zhong on the side took a breath, greatly shocked!
His Majesty……

Qi Tai's throat twitched, he swallowed the surprise in his heart, and saluted: In this way, Dingyin and the land tax will be included in everything... Only collecting the land tax can indeed achieve a balance between the people with little land and no land. will save a lot...

It's just... just like this, those wealthy households might not be happy...

In the end, the others also hesitated, and their words were more reserved.

Zhu Yunxi understood that not only the wealthy households were unhappy, but even the officials and scholars of Ming Dynasty would also be unhappy!
In addition to the land that the imperial court exempted them from paying taxes, there are still many people who entrust their land to their names. The government turned a blind eye, and this part of the money went to their waists.

If the land tax is paid according to the amount of land, then they will not be able to get this part of the money!

However, as His Majesty said, in this way, the common people can directly hand over the land tax to the government. There is only this kind of tax for the common people. Everyone knows that the villagers will have no chance to fill their pockets... Qi Tai added.

Zhu Yunxi sighed and said: In fact, this is also a big disadvantage of Ming Dynasty. Dingyin, together with Lijia, Junwei and other four poor silver, were requisitioned by local officials and were not handed over to the court, but kept in various places.
In the imperial court, there were no statistics on the national Dingyin, only the total number of households. In terms of administration and policy formulation, the imperial court did not involve the handling of Dingyin and how to control them.

Simply put, this part of the money was not handed over to the treasury, but stayed in the local government.

Since it stays in the local area, the revenue of the treasury must be reduced, and where this part of the money eventually flows, whether it is corrupted by corrupt officials is also a question worth thinking about.

In order to increase income and make the money on hand more vivid, the local government will inevitably increase the number of people, such as counting children as children, or after a person dies, the government will not pay them, but will still use the original amount collection……

Once the appropriation of the land into the mu is implemented, there will be no income in the local area, and it will also be convenient for the imperial court to control the local officials.

It is unfair for the rich to have fields and rice paddies, but for the poor to have no land, and to have more corvees.
If the tax is not paid according to the amount of land, it will not take long for the rich and wealthy merchants to rack their brains and use all means to rob the people of the land on which they live.

Looking at them, Zhu Yunxi said: That's why I have the idea of ​​spreading the income to the mother, but now it's just a concept, it's not the time to implement it...

It must be done.

It can reduce the burden of the people, restrain the rich and powerful, reduce land mergers, and increase the tax revenue of the court.

...

With so many benefits, promotion is inevitable!
But Zhu Yunxi understood that now is not the time.

Because this will touch the powerful landlords and the interests of some officials, so we must be cautious.

At the same time, he is also waiting until he has enough prestige to implement it. At that time, he can use his enough prestige to overwhelm all those who oppose it!
After all, reform is not so easy.
Radical, often no good end...

The lessons of history are vivid, how dare Zhu Yunxi forget them!

The news of the emperor's private visit and inspection of the people spread quickly.

This matter was also reported to the mansion to inform the people all over the world, and the first to get the news was often the magistrate.

In a government office, the magistrate sat on the throne, and each county magistrate received the magistrate
After the urgent order from the lord of the mansion, he rushed to the meeting in a hurry.

Looking at the full hall of county magistrates and county magistrates, the magistrate looked anxious, and he didn't have time to be polite, so he said to everyone: "Everyone, the reason why I invite you here today is because of an urgent matter!"

In the eyes of everyone watching, the magistrate picked up a mansion newspaper from the tea table beside him, and said: Everyone, this is the latest issue of the mansion newspaper of the imperial court. Response... come, send the mansion report!

Hearing what the magistrate said, the county magistrates and county magistrates couldn't help but get nervous. Obviously the court has some important news to announce, but what could it be?

After the mansion report was handed out, all the officials hurriedly looked at it. When they saw it, they couldn't help looking a little strange, and then they became a little dignified, and their brows frowned.

The mansion newspaper made it clear that the elders and village elders colluded with each other and tried to embezzle the people's land during the private visit of the emperor's private visit.

At the end of the mansion report, there are written words from the emperor's heart: the head of the village should have been the head of the people, be the parents of the people, take good care of them and end up in the court...

The old people in the village should be highly respected, admired and admired by everyone, admired very much, able to uphold integrity, educate and supervise... But I heard that the elders in the village colluded for private reasons, bullied the weak, and invaded the land. My heart aches, so sad...

I hope that the leader of the people in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, who is respected by the people, will examine himself, take it as evil, and keep righteousness in his heart, so as to live up to the expectations of the people and the trust of the court. Please encourage him!
Cough!

After coughing twice, he cleared his irritated throat, and the magistrate also attracted everyone's attention from the mansion newspaper. Ladies and gentlemen, His Majesty made a private visit to observe the people's sentiments, and encountered such a bad thing!

You have all seen that His Majesty personally mentioned this matter in the residence newspaper, and his heart hurts...

Since His Majesty can travel dozens of miles from Beijing to Jurong County, who can guarantee that he will not come to our prefecture?I really want His Majesty to see what's going on...

That is really ashamed of His Majesty, ashamed, as a magistrate, but unable to benefit the people of one side, and also ashamed of the sage's book we read,

Besides, if that's the case, our career prospects will be hard to say...

Hearing this, whether it is to be worthy of my conscience, the way of sages and sages I have read, or for the official uniform of the beast on my body,

All the officials sitting in the lobby suddenly became nervous. Some looked at each other, some lowered their heads in thought, and some started discussing with the left and right...

...

You said that His Majesty will not really come to our prefecture, right?

His majesty loves the people, and the officials admire him, and congratulate the world... But we are too far away from the capital after all...

That's right, even if His Majesty wanted to come, he would have no way to separate himself. After all, the world is so big, and the government affairs of the court are busy...

Don't get lucky!

Someone said: The chances of His Majesty coming to check in person are of course very small, but with the censor watching and the officials reporting, it is not difficult to know, so we should think about how to do our own errands well and take good care of the people Bar……

Everyone also nodded in agreement.

After all, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the officialdom was relatively clean. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was not friendly to officials who were corrupt and perverted the law...

The magistrate also ordered everyone to immediately check whether the village chiefs, village elders, and subordinate officials have done harm to the people after returning to the county.

I also need to check the government affairs I have done since I took office, whether there are any mistakes, whether there are any places that are not well thought out, and the most important thing is not to harm the people because of it!
After all, the emperor went deep into the people and observed the people's sentiments!
After repeatedly emphasizing the importance of this matter, the county magistrates and county magistrates returned to the places under their jurisdiction, and the magistrate also sat on a chair and let out a sigh of relief.

I hope they can handle it well, review it carefully, and don't slack off.

Bang Bang Bang... Bang Bang Bang...

The mansion newspaper was posted on the wall outside the county government office, and the petty official rang the gong to turn the streets
All the people in the city gathered together,
Some people inquired about the contents of the mansion newspaper, and the little official read it to everyone and explained it clearly, explaining the whole story clearly.

Alas, Your Majesty is really a benevolent and virtuous monarch. He actually loves us people so much, and went to the village to see our lives in person. This, this, this...

What Zhu Yunxi did immediately attracted the people's heartfelt praise.

Look at it, look at it, look at it, everyone!His Majesty also helped him up with his own hands, we are all country men, how often do we take a bath and how often do we change our clothes...

Before he finished speaking, someone continued to say: In addition, he broke his waist and became paralyzed, and fell to the ground and rolled all over his body. His Majesty did not dislike him, and he personally supported him... His Majesty did not dislike it!

Hey!If I were that family, I would be willing to die on the spot!
Who said no!Your Majesty loves us people so much, and doesn't despise us like this, it's nothing to say!Our life will be given to His Majesty!

From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of an emperor who personally walked into the people's home and helped the paralyzed person in person, virtuous king!Holy King!
Our Daming has such a good emperor, everyone, this is our blessing!It is our ancestors who accumulated virtue!
Where have the common people heard that the emperor would do such a thing, especially when he condescends and condescends, he is very friendly in the details, so this immediately arouses the excitement of the common people!
What the people want is a king who loves the people!Because in this way they can support their families and survive!
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand their admiration for benevolent and virtuous emperors.

I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed...

One person said: When paying the land tax this autumn, I also mixed some shriveled and moth-eaten grains into good grains as the land tax... I, I am really not a human being!Snapped!
...

Before he finished speaking, he slapped himself hard on the face, revealing a few red handprints in an instant.

No one among the people blamed him, because many people had such thoughts, but because of the justice and conscience in their hearts, they didn't cook anymore.
There are also people who did not find opportunities because the officials were strict with them...

But now, under the circumstance that the emperor treats the people so favorably, that little trick, that little trick, seems so hateful, making them feel ashamed...

tnd!Your Majesty loves us, and we must not let lard fool us!Don't be ashamed of your majesty!From now on, I will pay the food on time, and I will never sneak around when I have labor... Otherwise, I am really sorry for my ancestors!
This kind of discussion doesn't just happen in one place.

Of course, the degree to which the people were moved varies from time to time and from place to place, but generally speaking, the people's reactions are very positive, and there are many voices of praise for the emperor.

……

Beiping City, Yanwang Mansion.

Your Highness, this is the palace newspaper of the imperial court, please read it.

In the study of King Yan's Mansion, Yao Guangxiao handed Zhu Di like a mansion newspaper.

After Zhu Di saw it, there was a hint of relief on his face: I didn't expect that my nephew would like to go to the folks, but it's good, under the heavy and powerful palace, surrounded by so many officials and guards,

It's really not as good as going deep into the people and seeing the real people, so that you can understand the sufferings of the people. He did a good job in this.

He smiled and shook his head again: "Master, look at my three sons. The eldest is too dull. Although he is a bit smart, he can't be called wisdom... The second is very brave, full of brute force, and doesn't know how to do things." use your brain

The third child is more cunning, not someone who can accomplish anything...Compared with my nephew, the three of them are more like chickens and dogs, and they can't be elegant...

Although there was a smile on his face, there was always a bit of loneliness in his eyes.

Because in Zhu Di's view, none of his sons looked like emperors, and they couldn't be compared with Zhu Yunxi.This is a blow to a vassal who covets the throne a bit.

After all, if one's own child is outstanding, if one looks at all directions, is majestic, and has the image of a monarch, this will be a great encouragement for him to fight for the throne...

The poor monk thought that His Highness was worrying too much...

Yao Guangxiao knew what was going on in his heart, and said calmly: "A few years ago, when that guy was still in the East Palace, I heard that he was unwise and cowardly, even inferior to ordinary teenagers, but now he is on the throne of the Son of Heaven, isn't he?" Can still be praised by His Highness?
Therefore, what kind of appearance a person is does not depend on his appearance or his personality, but on which chair he sits in...

Zhu Di sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, but heard the words without any response.

No response is equivalent to default.

Yao Guangxiao also took a few sips of tea, smacked his throat, and said unhurriedly: Your Highness, General Lan Yu was ordered to inspect the border military affairs, and now he has arrived at Beiping Mansion...

Oh, is he already here?Why is there no sign of him?Zhu Di was slightly surprised.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Returning to Your Highness, according to the reports from the people below, Lan Yu went to several guards in Beiping Mansion yesterday, there are hundreds of households, and there are also thousands of households."

Zhu Di frowned, and his face sank immediately. He must have gone to the guards close to Yan Wang's mansion, hum!Play this hand with me!
