Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 381
To see who is unhappy, reward him with a few pills. Anyway, it is a reward, and it is not a punishment.

As for being poisoned to death, that is because the elixir is poisonous.Hold the alchemist accountable, whoever made the alchemy will be chopped off.

It's perfect to find someone who is responsible, and then reward him with a rich funeral.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao dismissed the idea.

It's too shady, it's not suitable for me.This is what a power-playing emperor should do, not what he should do.

At the point where I am now, the general trend has already been achieved, and there is no need to play tricks.

The matter in front of him is to kill the Taoist priest first, and other things can be put aside later.

Once this Taoist priest dies, everything will cease.Whatever machinations he had had was useless.

After explaining this matter, Zhu Houzhao stopped paying attention.

For Zhu Houzhao, he believed in Liu Jin.If you can't even do this, how can you become a generation of eunuchs?
You must know that among the eunuchs with exclusive power in the past dynasties, Liu Jin is also ranked first.

Sitting behind his desk, Zhu Houzhao began to look through the memorial.

There are not many things going on in the imperial court recently. Everything is going smoothly in the Liaodong side, and there are no problems in the northwest side.Although Wang Shouren sent a few memorials, which could be regarded as battle reports, they were basically good news.

Zhu Houzhao wasn't too worried about Wang Shouren's side.

Because for Zhu Houzhao, he has enough trust in Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren's military literacy itself is very high, coupled with the progress of the past few years, it has long been able to stop one side.

Gansu is just a small battle, and it is not difficult for Wang Shouren at all.

On the contrary, it was the affairs in the capital that involved Zhu Houzhao's great energy.

Negotiations with Horqin have not yet started, because Horqin's people have not yet arrived, but it will be soon.

In addition, it is the Taoist matter that involves Zhu Houzhao's energy.

But after tonight, things will be much simpler.

After reading all the memorials, Zhu Houzhao did not move.He began to wonder what he should do next.

In fact, my basic preparations have been completed, and I can start to promote reforms.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao hasn't figured out which direction to proceed from.

The Royal Academy is progressing smoothly, the construction is almost completed, and the news has spread.

After the entrance examination is completed, the Royal Academy can officially operate.It's just that it's slower.

In another direction, what Zhu Houzhao is going to promote is the test method.

Zhu Houzhao has not yet figured out how to implement the test method.

Although the imperial court had a system of secret documents, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not enough, and a new inspection agency was still needed.

The establishment of the six doors has not been put on the agenda, but the Inspectorate can think of a way.Like the Disciplinary Inspection Commission in the future market, the inspectorate can be sent directly to the local area.

After these two things are done, you can implement tax separation.

It is also simple to say, it is to take the power of tax collection out of the hands of magistrates and hand it over to the tax department of Ming Dynasty.After several years of development, the Daming Tax Department already has this ability.

The problem now is to promote this matter, I am afraid it will arouse a big backlash.

In addition to salaries, the income of local officials basically comes from taxes.Once they lose their power to tax, they have no place to collect money.Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for them to fight back.

In addition to local officials, more opposition should be gentry and landlords.On the surface, whoever collects the taxes doesn't seem to matter to them.But in reality, that's far from the case.

If local officials collect taxes, then everyone is the same.In addition, the local officials are basically their own people.Whether it is hiding the land or changing the upper field to the lower field, the difficulty is much less.

But once you change to the tax department, it will be different immediately.

Since the establishment of the tax department, Zhu Houzhao has dispatched many people from the Black Dragon Army to rush in.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also transferred Jin Yiwei, it is much more difficult for locals to be ghosts.

However, once this policy is implemented, it will be beneficial to subsequent policies.

For example, Zhu Houzhao will eventually promote the government-gentle payment of food, and it will be much easier to implement on this basis.

However, these few things are very difficult. If you want to succeed in one go, you may need to spend a lot of time.

"His Royal Highness," Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said cautiously, "It's getting late! It's time for dinner."

After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, raised his head and looked out, and found that the sky had darkened at some point.

I actually sat here thinking for so long.

With a self-deprecating smile, Zhu Houzhao stood up and said, "Then let's have dinner."

Liu Jin nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Then he went out to order the food to be served.

Zhu Houzhao didn't stay up late that night, he went to bed early.

But neither the palace nor the capital is peaceful.

In the auspicious alley in the capital, Yang Bin sat in the shadow with a blank expression.

Beside Yang Bin, a dozen strong men were scattered on both sides of the street.

Glancing at the man standing in front of him, Yang Bin ordered: "When that Zhang is born, arrest him directly. Be careful around and don't let others see. If anyone leaks the news, then go and get the punishment yourself." .”

"My father-in-law has already said that this Zhang can't see people in his life, and he can't see his corpse in his death. We want him to disappear quietly in this world. You should understand what you mean by father-in-law."

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand." Everyone nodded quickly and said.

None of them wanted to be punished. They couldn't be more aware of their father-in-law's methods.

If things go wrong this time, the punishment will definitely not be as simple as hitting a few boards.In order not to learn the tricks of my father-in-law, I must take care of the errands.

Not far away, a person ran over, came straight to Yang Bin's side, and said in a low voice, "My lord, that Zhang Sheng is here."

"Ready to do it." Yang Bin nodded and said.

Not long after, a man staggered and walked over from a distance.

He was carrying a wine jar in his hand, cursing as he walked.

Yang Bin took a look and confirmed that this person was Zhang Sheng.

As for why he was cursing?

It's actually very simple. He lost money again tonight. He originally planned to spend the night in the casino, but he lost all his money in a short while.

Zhang Sheng was walking forward when he suddenly felt someone behind him.

Before he turned his head, a strong arm strangled his neck, and he couldn't struggle in an instant, and it was impossible to make a sound.
