Da Ming started to ascend the throne
Page 377
Liu Shishi's pretty face was flushed and she hesitated to speak, but she couldn't say that, how could she dare to say that your majesty is a bull.
She can only shake her head:
"Your majesty, I'm fine, maybe I'm too tired!"
"Oh, pay more attention to rest, come and change my clothes!"
Before Zhu Youjian crossed over, although he had talked with two girlfriends, at most they held hands, so he didn't think much about it.
There were maids waiting outside, and when they heard the emperor's words, they immediately entered the room and began to help Zhu Youjian change his clothes and wash his hands.
When Zhu Youjian went to court, all the ministers had already arrived, and when they saw the emperor coming, they hurried forward to salute:
"See Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youjian raised his hand:
"My dear ones, you are free from courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Behind the ministers Xie Enping, the eunuch who was close to him stepped forward and shouted:
"There is a book to play early, and there is no book to retreat!"
This is the case when you are busy, and all departments have played their books one after another.
But when there is no major event, sitting at the court early in the morning, before the buttocks are warmed up and then retreating, in Zhu Youjian's opinion, it is delaying sleep!
"Your Majesty, I have my own performance!"
At this time, Shangshu Hubu held the prelude book on the ivory board.
Zhu Youjian only said one word:
"play"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, this year the south is flooded and the north is dry, and many places are tax-free. It is almost the end of the year, and it is very difficult to complete the agricultural tax!"
Zhu Youjian has been prepared for the comparison. Although some places are tax-free and natural disasters, the agricultural tax will not be less than before, and it should not be in place yet!
"Well, have the taxes of the rich gentry and vassals arrived in the account?"
Chapter 300 Unlucky Censor
Regardless of the continuous natural disasters, there are still many places in the north that are tax-free, but Zhu Youjian is sure to double the tax this year.
In the past, most of the land in Ming Dynasty was in the hands of rich gentry and noble vassals. They occupied most of the high-quality fertile land in Ming Dynasty and paid almost no taxes.
The common people planted barren land, but bore the heavy taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty. After the land reform and the collection of commercial taxes, these problems should have been solved.
If the tax revenue this year is still the same as before, it means that local officials still have major problems, which Zhu Youjian will never tolerate.
Hearing the emperor's question about the gentry paying taxes, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, turned pale at the time, but he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to report the truth.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, part of the taxes you mentioned have not been received yet, and I am collecting them."
Ni Yuanlu felt so bitter, during this period of time he completely became a debt-collecting landlord, collecting debts everywhere, so that the gentry and nobles, seeing him was like seeing a ghost, and ran away one after another.
When Zhu Youjian heard this, his face darkened:
"Ni Yuanlu, what do they mean by this? Are they going to make me look bad, or do they want to continue to resist? Li Banghua is out of duty!"
Zhu Youjian's face changed, and the imperial authority was immediately revealed. Ni Yuanlu trembled all over, and she lowered her head and dared not say a word.Recommended reading ../../
Li Banghua, the chief assistant of the cabinet, also felt that his legs were weak, so he hurried out to salute:
"Veteran Li Banghua sees His Majesty."
Zhu Youjian questioned Li Banghua in a cold tone:
"Li Banghua, as the chief assistant of my Ming cabinet, why didn't you report this kind of thing to me? This is your serious dereliction of duty. I think the cabinet is about to be replaced."
"thump"
Li Banghua's legs softened and he fell to his knees:
"Your Majesty, this year is the first time that the gentry and nobles are collecting taxes. The veteran is going to wait for them for a few days. If they still do not pay taxes by the end of the year, the veteran will definitely report to His Majesty."
Li Banghua's words made Zhu Youjian sneer:
"Huh, until the end of the year, how many days are left until the end of the year? There is no movement for such a long time. What's the use of reporting to me in a few days? If the Eastern captivity has not been defeated now, and there is a problem with the army's logistics support, who will be responsible ?
It was decreed that all the gentry, honorable and rich men who should pay taxes, including the officials of the vassal king, should pay the taxes that should be paid within five days.
Otherwise, I will take back the land they should have paid taxes on. In addition, even if they pay the taxes within five days, they will still be fined for one year. If anyone resists, they will be executed! "
Zhu Youjian immediately passed down the decree. It has been nearly a year since the reform, and there are still people who are stubborn. Isn't it true that I have killed enough people?
Zhu Youjian's words immediately made the entire hall and officials tremble. They knew very well that the emperor's killing was decisive. After many ministers were about to retire, they immediately notified their relatives to pay taxes as soon as possible.
In order to relieve the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurried out of the class to play:
"Your Majesty, I have the original play."
Zhu Youjian looked at him and said:
"play"
"Abiding by the order, the Eastern exile regime that has plagued Daming for many years and caused heavy casualties to our army and civilians has been wiped out by our three-way army of Daming. I congratulate Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"What? The Dongyao regime has been wiped out by my Ming Dynasty. This is a great joy. My Ming Dynasty has finally turned the corner!"
For the time being, only the Ministry of War and Zhu Youjian know about the news of the extermination of the Eastern captives, and they haven't announced it yet.
Therefore, after hearing the news, many officials in the hall felt like they were dreaming, wept with joy, and knelt down in front of Zhu Youjian.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to your majesty, my Ming Dynasty finally does not have to face the enemy, the Ming army is mighty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
The temper that should have been lost was also lost just now, and now that the officials are so happy, they forgot to be afraid for a moment, and Zhu Youjian's mood turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant.
"It is not only the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, but also the good fortune of all my dear ministers to be able to wipe out the Dongyao regime without courtesy.
If my Ming Dynasty subjugates the country, I will be the king of the subjugated country, and you will all be the ministers of the subjugated country, so cherish it! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
After all the ministers died, Zhu Youjian looked at the sky outside when no one played the book. It was only now that it was getting dark, and he thought about what happened in the early court.
