Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

"If, Tao'er, you had the intention of rebelling instead of being a playboy all day long, you wouldn't have to worry about being a father!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

rebel?He wasn't worried at all that Zhu Tao would rebel. Although he was born recklessly, Zhu Yuanzhang had always been very good at seeing people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recognize so many brothers and godsons who supported him to conquer the world.

In his opinion, Zhu Tao is a typical person like Zhuge Liang, who is even more difficult to recruit than Zhuge Liang. He has no desire for power at all, and only wants to enjoy himself.

If an ordinary person had such a character, he would definitely be a prodigal son, and sooner or later he would be downcast and live a hard life, but Zhu Tao has great skills, so he can live the life of a playboy on his own.

"Other people will rebel, and they will definitely not come up with this system, and you, the young master, will not rebel, so is there any other good way?" Liu Bowen asked again.

Under the current situation, if you want to nationalize the land, I am afraid that you will completely offend all the landlords and squires, and the Ming Dynasty, which has finally built a country, will soon fall apart.

Liu Bowen felt that Zhu Tao might be able to think of a more suitable path.

"Isn't His Majesty not doing well enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The current policy implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang is still to collect taxes on a per capita basis, and to reduce taxes as much as possible, but there are still a large number of people who cannot eat, and it is often heard that farmers uprising somewhere.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled because he didn't have enough to eat, and he changed from a farmer to the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Those victims couldn't survive anyway, so they naturally wanted to follow suit.

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang had no other choice. He could only hope that he would be sympathetic to the people, and when the weather was good, more people would be able to feed their stomachs.

"Hehe, what does tax cuts have to do with farmers?" Zhu Tao sneered, "This can only make those landlords and gentry and famous scholars earn more and more, and these people will not consider reducing rent to give farmers a way of life. "

"For example, those big families in the south of the Yangtze River have less than a thousand acres of land. As a result, when you look at the population, there are only a dozen or so people. Hermits and servants are not included in the statistics. When paying taxes, they consider fame and fame, which is worse than those poor peasants paying taxes. few."

"These pigs have to make the farmers unable to survive, and put a knife on their necks, and they will know how to regret it."

"At this stage, there is a best way to change the situation where peasant uprisings are frequent and poor people are everywhere."

Liu Bowen's eyes lit up, and sure enough, he knew that Zhu Tao must not be that simple.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao held their breaths. They had a hunch that the method Zhu Tao proposed next could greatly help Daming deal with issues such as land annexation and people's livelihood.

"Everything goes into the mu!" Zhu Tao also got a little over the top, and said excitedly: "The most suitable method for this feudal era is this!"

If the Qing Dynasty made any contribution to Chinese civilization, it was probably this policy. With the introduction of sweet potatoes and potatoes, the population soared, so that it was called a prosperous age.

I don't know, but I really thought how wise the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was.

"The stall is in the mu?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he faintly sensed something from the literal meaning: "Quick, Tao'er, please be specific."

"Taxes are still collected according to the population. This will only make the land merger more serious, so that it will be hard to get back." Zhu Tao said: "And the land needs to be counted, and then the population, including hidden households, must be registered. Each person is given a certain amount of land, and the tax is collected at the rate of [-]% to [-]% of an acre of land."

"Of course, the quality of the land must also be taken into consideration. An acre of barren land is calculated as one-third or two-thirds of the fertile land."

"A person with little land and poor crops will have little harvest, but he will also pay less taxes. If the land is rich and fertile, he will pay more taxes."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, the more excited he became. This method is unique, and it seems to be tailor-made for himself. It can only be launched during the most prosperous period of imperial power!

Otherwise, I am afraid that the emperor will be pulled down!
And now, he is the founding emperor of great martial arts, and he is about to implement the cabinet term system. Isn't it the time when the imperial power is at its peak?

Liu Bowen's eyes also brightened, he seemed to understand why this young man could make the emperor recognize him as his son incognito.

No matter how difficult your problem is, as long as you talk to him, he can give you a solution.

This kind of ability, even if he, Li Shanchang, and Song Lian combined are not enough.

"Just counting the land is a bit troublesome." Liu Bowen said.

In the matter of counting the land, there are too many places that can be manipulated!

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a murderous look in his eyes: "Whoever dares to embezzle on this, he will peel off his skin and pretend to be grass!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was born recklessly, and he has always hated corrupt officials the most, and even killed many people for this, but there are still an endless stream of corrupt officials.

Zhu Tao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise. He didn't expect his father to be so murderous towards corrupt officials. When he wanted to do business, he was often exploited by corrupt officials.

"It seems that we can only send the most honest ministers in the court." Zhu Biao said, and then found that the other three looked at him like an idiot.

"What... what's wrong?" Zhu Biao asked weakly.

"Even the emperor doesn't know who is the real upright official!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"What's more, the world is so big, if you send all the upright officials out to carry out land reform, what will the court do, won't it become a den of bandits?" Zhu Tao also said.

Liu Bowen just smiled and had nothing to say. After all, one of these two people is the emperor, and the other is the son recognized by the emperor. They can be called princes, but he, a courtier, can't.

Thinking of this, Liu Bowen couldn't help but glance at Zhu Tao enviously. This young man is the real Foreign Minister of Ming Dynasty!

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Biao said unconvinced: "Could it be that such a good idea can't be implemented?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were a little surprised to see him like this.

Zhu Biao himself didn't notice that he always had a graceful and peaceful appearance on weekdays, and even hid his temper in front of his younger brother and ministers.

But with Zhu Tao, he gradually became like an ordinary person, who would be stupid and lose his temper.

This shows that he feels that he is not as good as Zhu Tao, and at the same time regards Zhu Tao as a support, so he relaxes and becomes an ordinary person with flesh and blood, instead of the crown prince who has been restraining himself.

"This matter is actually quite simple." Zhu Tao said, "Isn't the imperial examination about to take place? These newly promoted students are all baby bumps! Especially those from poor families who failed the exam!"

"Use it well, they are Daming's first generation of civil servants!"
