Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 441: Yangzhou is the pilot area for the new fiscal and taxation policy

Zhu Gang slowly stood up, clasped his hands firmly, and bowed deeply to everyone in the court.

His face, which already exuded heroic spirit, now looked even more moved.

Zhu Gang said in a loud and sincere voice: "You are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you are indispensable officials in this court!

With your help, I firmly believe that we can accomplish this.

When the Ming Dynasty becomes more prosperous, the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

Everyone present here has made invaluable contributions, and your names will surely go down in history!"

After all this busy work and communication, Zhu Gang spent a lot of effort, but finally he felt that this new method had been polished to perfection.

But this policy has to find a suitable place to try it out, just like a sword needs to find the right touchstone.

Zhu Gang had lost his appetite these days, and had been pondering over all the places in the Ming Dynasty in his mind.

After much deliberation, they finally chose Yangzhou Prefecture, which was temporarily under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili.

On this day, Zhu Gang stood in front of the window of the study in the Prince of Jin's Mansion in Taiyuan.

He looked far into the distance, but in his heart he was secretly pondering the various advantages of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Gang was thinking deeply when his counselor Zhang Qiwen tiptoed up to him.

He bowed slightly and asked softly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being so rude, but why did you choose Yangzhou Prefecture to try out this new method?"

Zhu Gang turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Zhang Qiwen.

There was a certainty in his eyes, as if he had already thought through the reasons behind this.

Then Zhu Gang spoke slowly, his voice steady and meaningful.

"Qiwen, you don't know something.

This Yangzhou Prefecture is very famous and it is a well-known place in our Ming Dynasty.

Just think about it, it is located at a strategic point of water and land transportation.

On the canal, ships shuttle back and forth every day.

They are crowded together, like fish in the water, constantly moving back and forth.

At the dock, goods are piled up like mountains.

There are all kinds of rare treasures and daily necessities from all over the world.

The number of business travelers coming and going is too numerous to count.

That scene was so lively!
Looking inside the city, the streets are lined with shops, selling all kinds of rare goods.

Walking on the street, it is really dazzling, and the prosperous scene is everywhere.

It seems that money is like running water, flowing endlessly in Yangzhou City. "

Zhu Gang paused, raised his eyes slightly, and continued: "Besides, the people here are also very knowledgeable.

I see a lot of people and things coming and going all day long, so I have a more open-minded mindset.

The level of acceptance of new things is much higher than elsewhere.

If we implement this new method, they will be able to understand the benefits more quickly and will be more likely to cooperate, right?

Besides, Yangzhou Prefecture occupies an important position in the administrative area of ​​our Ming Dynasty, and a single move can affect the entire body.

It is the perfect place to try out new fiscal and taxation measures.”

Zhang Qiwen nodded slightly when he heard this, with a smile of admiration on his face.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness has thought things through and is truly far-sighted. Yangzhou Prefecture is indeed the best choice.

However, the person who promotes it must be selected carefully.

After all, this matter is of great importance, and we need to find someone who can shoulder this responsibility."

Zhu Gang smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he had already found a suitable candidate.

He put his hands behind his back, paced and said, "I have already thought of this. I plan to select the eloquent official Chen Junzuo to go. Chen Junzuo is a capable person. Don't look at him laughing and joking on weekdays, but his talking skills are really powerful.

Relying on his witty and humorous speaking skills, he has been able to turn danger into safety many times in critical moments, using methods that others would never have thought of.

It would be a waste of his talents to stay beside his father and be a jester.

Sending him to Yangzhou Prefecture to implement this new method will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Zhu Gang stood in front of the window, as if he had already seen the prosperous and lively scene after Yangzhou Prefecture implemented the new measures.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, his heart full of anticipation.

That smile showed both a longing for the future and the relief that Zhu Gang finally saw the light of day after working tirelessly for the Ming Dynasty.

And at this moment, there was a kind of certainty and determination shining in those deep eyes.

It seemed that nothing could stop him from seeking prosperity for the Ming Dynasty.

When selecting people, Zhu Gang called Chen Junzuo to his side.

He looked at Chen Junzuo eagerly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Junzuo, I have chosen you to go to Yangzhou this time.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He was responsible for communicating and explaining the new measures to wealthy households and merchants, and it was a well-considered decision.

It is because you are eloquent and have a quick mind that I trust you.

You have to understand that this matter is of great importance.

This concerns the future development of our Ming Dynasty, so we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

You must explain the content, purpose and benefits of the new measures to all parties clearly to the wealthy households and merchants, and don't let them have any misunderstandings.

If there is anything you don’t understand, feel free to send someone back to ask me.

Please be careful and don't let me down. "

Chen Junzuo hurriedly knelt down respectfully with a serious face.

He clasped his hands and raised them above his head, and responded earnestly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to fulfill my mission.

I will definitely get this done properly and will never let Your Highness down.

Even if it means going through fire and water, I will do my job without hesitation!"

Zhu Gang nodded with satisfaction and ordered people to post notices in various places in Yangzhou.

The notice detailed the content, purpose and benefits of the new measures to all parties.

He also specially found some literate scholars to explain the scriptures to the illiterate people.

I was afraid that the people would not understand and figure out the ins and outs of this.

At first the situation seemed to be improving, and many wealthy families and merchants began to take an interest in the new approach.

They gathered around the notice, looking at it and discussing it with each other.

Everyone was talking to each other, and the scene was extremely lively.

A wealthy man in coarse silk clothes stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Hey, look at what this notice says. If this new method is really implemented, our business may be able to reach a higher level."

A merchant nearby echoed, “Yeah, yeah, it looks pretty good.

The imperial court is really thoughtful this time, we have to think about it carefully."

Everyone was talking about it, and they were all willing to learn more and try to participate.

However, when the trial was halfway through, the situation suddenly changed and new problems arose.

Some local gentry forces in Yangzhou are used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly in the local area on weekdays.

When they heard that this new method was being implemented very enthusiastically, they began to have doubts in their hearts.

They are worried that once this new method is fully implemented, it will affect their economic monopoly in the local area.

This is like touching their lifeblood!

What should I do if the imperial court wants to cut off my source of income?
