Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Chapter 6 and Four Life is over, prodigal!

Zhu Xiaoyong had to admit that what Zhu Yujian said made sense.

At the very least, the dissatisfied expressions on the faces of the people immediately disappeared after the compensation for the farmlands that so many people trampled on them, as if they were still hoping that they would trample on them again?

I am not a fool, and neither are the vassal kings, and Zhu Yujian, who is as fine as a human being, is even less likely to be a fool—it’s fine if he steps on it once and loses money, what about the second time?Step on something that has already been stepped on for the second time, and then pay for the second time?

After Zhu Yujian proved his theory, he planned to act aggressive in front of Zhu Xiaoyong, but before he could speak, he found a guy dressed as an eunuch squeezed into the crowd.

Zhu Yujian thought he knew almost all the famous eunuchs in Ming Dynasty, but he had never seen this person in front of him.

After bowing his hands to the eunuch, Zhu Yujian asked curiously, "Who is this father-in-law?"

The eunuch smiled sadly and said: "The servant girl is Bei Jun, a young eunuch in the palace of Concubine Yi, so she cannot be called His Highness Tang's father-in-law.

His Majesty was enjoying the singing and dancing in the Yifei Empress Palace, when someone came to report that your Highnesses had gone hunting in the suburbs of Beijing and trampled on a lot of farmland, so His Majesty sent someone to pass a few words. "

Zhu Yujian's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed and cupped his hands in response, "Yes, my minister Zhu Yujian listened respectfully to the oracle."

Bei Jun coughed and said, "The king of Tang is not strict with his orders. He allowed the guards of the palace to trample on the farmland. He imposed a fine of half a year's salary and a thousand taels of silver to compensate the common people."

Some dumbfounded Zhu Yujian bowed and said: "My minister Zhu Yujian, obey the order."

After straightening up, Zhu Yujian scratched a jade pendant from his sleeve, and somehow it fell into Bei Jun's hands, and said with a smile: "Just now, the king ordered people to pay the people compensation, and he is also convinced of His Majesty's punishment. When Eunuch Bei replies to His Majesty, would you please say something kind to me?"

Bei Jun touched the jade pendant in his hand, and immediately smiled without brows, as if the gloomy eunuch just now was another person: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant will definitely reply to His Majesty truthfully."

After Bei Jun left, Zhu Yujian turned his head and said to Zhu Xiaoyong: "Well, I'm right, right? As long as you compensate the people so that they don't complain, who cares if you hunt every day or think about how much to pay every day? Go back to the side room."

Zhu Xiaoyong said thoughtfully: "What the king of Tang said is very true."

Regarding the fact that Zhu Yujian was fined by Emperor Chongzhen for half a year plus a thousand taels of silver after he had already paid compensation, neither Zhu Yujian nor Zhu Xiaoyong actually took it to heart.

When did the vassal king live on his salary?A mere thousand taels of silver counts as wool?It can't be retrieved in minutes.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's handling of Zhu Yujian also let the people present feel a little bit of Emperor Chongzhen's temper - as long as the people are not forced to die, Emperor Chongzhen often has a lot of tolerance in other matters.

So, how should you choose?

Is it to take the original wealth as the foundation and build a fief from scratch?Or choose to find a mature overseas place to eat and die?

This is a very critical issue - there are [-] clans, and there are [-] ideas, and it is impossible to unify.

But fortunately, although Emperor Chongzhen has been forcing everyone to transfer their fiefs overseas, there is no direct conclusion on where everyone will eventually transfer, and everything still has a choice.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about the thoughts of these clans at all - wouldn't it be better to appreciate Concubine Yi's dancing posture at this time?

After Concubine Yi danced, Bei Jun hurried back and reported the reaction of Tang Wang and others to Emperor Chongzhen, and even truthfully explained the fact that Zhu Yujian had given him a jade pendant.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled lightly and said, "Forget it, since the king of Tang rewarded you with that jade pendant, you can just keep it."

After waving his hands and ordering Bei Jun to retreat, Emperor Chongzhen put on another expression on his face, and walked towards Concubine Yi who was retreating step by step—Concubine Yi, who had just finished dancing and was sweating and panting, was so beautiful. seductive...

Emperor Chongzhen, who was planning to publicize prostitution in the daytime, failed to achieve his goal in the end. The news reported by Wang Chengen, who hurried in outside the door, was like a basin of cold water, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel cold from the inside out.

In the heavy rain in Zhejiang, the rice paddies become a huge dip.

Theoretically speaking, all places in Ming Dynasty don't care much about natural disasters, especially this kind of heavy rain, which has little impact.

There is not even a grain of grain harvest in the second year, so there is no need to worry, because the grain in the regular warehouses and reserve warehouses in various places is not prepared for nothing.

But can Zhejiang and Fujian be the same as other areas in Daming?

Other areas suffer from disasters, nothing more than a loss of food, and it doesn't matter if you pay your own money or pay this little money.

But Zhejiang and Fujian are still important tea producing areas!

Things like tea, at a young age, are just brewed and drunk, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, anyway, you have to live the same life.

On a bigger scale, this thing is an important strategic export material!

What else is there to do but drink?But others have to buy it with real money, and then the silver will flow into the wallet of Emperor Chongzhen's family through various channels, this is very important!

In order to prevent his wives, big and small, from having enough money to buy rouge and gouache, the Emperor Chongzhen even gave up his concubine Yi, and ran away in a hurry. By the way, he ordered someone to summon Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou.

When Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou saw the Emperor Chongzhen, their expressions were also quite dignified-the two of them also received news about the disaster in Zhejiang, and they were planning to report to Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as he saw the expressions on the faces of Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen knew that these two guys had also received the information, and they were in a bad mood.

After waving his hands to stop the two people saluting, Emperor Chongzhen sat down on the chair before ordering: "Go and bring chairs for Wen Aiqing and Guo Aiqing, let's rest first."

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou thanked each other, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorial on the table and said, "Have the two lovers also got the news?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Yes, the news from the chief envoy of Zhejiang came eight hundred li urgently. The continuous heavy rain in Zhejiang has soaked the fields. The mountainous areas may be better, but the loss is also huge."

After rubbing his forehead, Emperor Chongzhen said: "First order Zhejiang to do its best to help the people and deal with the aftermath to ensure that the people's lives will not be a problem, let alone any trouble."

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou bowed to answer, Guo Yunhou thought about it again and said, "Your Majesty, what about next year's tax?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he became even more depressed.

How can you count on next year's taxes after suffering such a disaster? It would be good if I don't let me take out money to pay back!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also understood what Guo Yunhou meant-should the taxes in Zhejiang be exempted?

After deliberating for a long while, Emperor Chongzhen said with a bit of pain: "Where the disaster hits, Chongzhen's 13-year civil tax will be exempted, and business taxes will be halved."

Emperor Chongzhen felt distressed, and lost a large amount of his internal money next year-although it seemed that he had never received any money in the civil tax, but no matter how small the mosquito legs were, they were still meat!

And since I became the throne, it seems that there has never been a year in which I can properly collect the taxes from the people-every year, different places are hit by disasters, and then I am exempted from taxes and taxes!

Even giving birth to sons and daughters is exempted from civil taxes?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was so defeated by his prodigal family, made his heart ache, decided to do nothing but continue to be prodigal!

"The Ministry of Life and Industry sent personnel to work with the local government to help the people affected by the disaster rebuild their houses, and let the guards send out people. The cost was shared by the state treasury, internal funds, and the local government.

In the disaster-stricken areas, the people over [-] years old will be given ten stones of rice and ten taels of silver, and those under sixty will be given five stones of rice, which will be paid by the Shaofu. "

Emperor Chongzhen, who had decided to bleed heavily, had a murderous intent in his next words: "Tell the officials below that I usually pretend I didn't notice that I was greedy for a little money.

But no matter who dares to do something to the people when they are in disaster, I will deal with it according to the law of the Ming Dynasty! "

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou both shuddered and bowed together.

Emperor Chongzhen said that according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely the kind of people who are more than 60 taels and eat grass, and then add various names and then implicate the three clans.
