Daming: At the beginning, the big snow dragon rides to create a martial arts court

If you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it.

But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to mediate and are willing to open the windows——Lu Xun: I really said this sentence.

You disagree with the emperor's first topic, so to speak, if you object, then I won't mention it.

You object to the second topic, why?The emperor is so shameless?

At this time, even if there are interests involved, I am too embarrassed to speak out against it.

Zhu Qiyu glanced over the faces of the ministers, and knew that most people still opposed the increase of commercial tax, but the opening of the sea ban can be delayed, but the commercial tax must be levied.

The great Ming Dynasty (cgcb) empire has a business tax of 10 taels a year!

In the Southern Song Dynasty, it reached more than 3000 million taels!

A gap of more than 300 times.

Zhu Qiyu was envious of the commercial tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty court. If the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was so abundant, he would not have to worry about money at all.

The fact that the business tax of the Ming Dynasty was so low was due to Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, who didn't pay much attention to business, so the business tax of the Ming Dynasty was only one of [-] taxes, and officials and scholars were exempted from tax.

The commercial tax is only [-]% tax, which is unimaginable in any dynasty. However, even with such a low commercial tax, those businessmen are still colluding with officials and businessmen who try to find ways, even if it is a business tax of a penny. Neither want to pay.

In the huge Ming Dynasty, business was so prosperous, not much worse than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. The commercial tax that could be collected in a year was only 10 taels, which is simply unbelievable.

There are different gaps in tea tax, salt tax, wine tax, and commercial tax in the Southern Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, but on average, the gap in collection is at least ten times higher.

Although the commercial tax of Ming Dynasty is levied at 10 taels, if it can be collected truthfully, it will not be only [-] taels a year, and tens of millions taels will be easy.

But many businessmen don't even want to pay thirty taxes.

In history, when Zhu Houzhao sent Liu Jin to collect taxes, it was only doubled on the basis of the [-]-[-] tax, and barely reached the [-]-[-] tax. This directly led to a large number of local gentry, businessmen and dignitaries inciting the people to beat them and resist the tax collection. Even kill the tax supervisor.

It can be seen that it is rampant.

"Your Majesty, how much is the levy?"

Wang Zhi asked.

"Thirty tax five."

Yu Qian was a little taken aback: "Your Majesty, are you a little too radical?"

Even the [-]th tax was not collected, and it increased five times at once. I am afraid that those wealthy businessmen will resist the tax even more.

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "Compared to the Southern Song Dynasty, the thirty-five tax is already very little, and the people are not enough. They think that the thirty-one tax is too high, and they don't want to pay it. If they want to resist the tax, the thirty-one tax and thirty-five What's the difference?"

No objection was raised.

We opposed the opening of the sea before, but we did not object to the increase in business tax to save face.

However, whether it can be collected is a problem.

We can't blame us if we can't collect it.

…………

Wu Yan said: "Your Majesty, the local forces in Zhejiang Province are too large. It is foreseeable that those people will jump over the wall in a hurry and secretly instigate. Planning civil uprisings is their forte.

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "What I want is for them to jump over the wall in a hurry. If they don't jump out, I really don't want to touch them. Once they jump out, the fox's tail will leak out. I want to see how many people are not afraid of death!".

Chapter 129 Officials and dogs are not allowed!

Sweep the house!

Clear up Zhejiang!

The power Zhu Qiyu has now is enough to suppress any rebels who want to jump over the wall.

As an emperor, I can ignore the rules and act within the rules. How dare you jump over the wall in a hurry~?

That's breaking the rules!

Let's see if I will punish you or not!

…………

On the official road, a carriage is slowly moving forward, and there are more than a dozen horses in front and behind, all of them are Jin Yiwei.

Inside the carriage are Zhu Qiyu and Wu Yan.

His destination this time is Zhejiang.

Before leaving Beijing, he issued an imperial decree, ordering Yuhuatian to go to Zhejiang Province to preside over the collection of commercial taxes. He wanted to see how those people in Zhejiang Province jumped the wall in such a hurry.

Besides, he also wanted to take a good look at the world.

For several days in a row, it was all ordinary. I didn't encounter any robbers or local tyrants who robbed women, which made Zhu Qiyu a little disappointed.

A few days later, the carriage drove out of Zhili territory.

"Your Majesty, there is a town ahead."

Shen Lian reported.

Zhu Qiyu lifted the curtain, and saw a small town in the distance, which looked quite lively.

This town is built on the mountain, with water on one side, and a road that can see the bottom. Although the building is quite simple, it is relatively lively and there are many shops.

At the gate of the town, a large stone tablet was erected, and many people stopped in front of the stone tablet to watch.

These people carried their knives and boasted their swords. They were all from the martial arts world. Some of them were the heads of darts, and some were caravan guards.

Zhu Qiyu got off the carriage, Wu Yan also got off, Shen Lian and a dozen Jinyi guards got off their horses and followed behind, leading the horses.

There are only a few words on the stone tablet, which are simple and clear.

Officials and dogs are not allowed to enter!

The corners of Zhu Qiyu's eyes twitched, and he was furious in his heart: "There is a town that prohibits officials from entering? Isn't this the land of the Ming Dynasty? Who has such courage?"

Shen Lian caught a glimpse of Zhu Qiyu's complexion, and immediately went to the side to find someone to inquire about, and came back soon to report: "Your Majesty, this town is called Shanhe Town. It was originally a dilapidated village, but it was later occupied by a group of bandits. The villagers don't know whether they were killed or driven away."

"There are many shady deals in a radius of a hundred miles, and they will all come here."

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Does this look a bit shady? Such a blatant town was established here, and the local officials didn't find out. What are you doing?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu walked straight into the town and said, "Don't follow me!"

"The entrance fee is 20 taels of silver."

At the door, several big men blocked the way, glanced at Zhu Qiyu and opened his mouth wide.

"20 taels? Is this a town entry fee or a robbery?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed angrily.

In Daming's territory, someone asked him for a town fee?

"What? Do you want to give it? If you don't give it, get out!"

Several big men glanced at Zhu Qiyu's brocade clothes, and thought he was a son of a rich family. He watched people order dishes with greedy eyes, and asked for 20 taels.

"I have silver, do you have the life to take it?"

Zhu Qiyu flicked his palm, and a piece of silver appeared, with a serious tone.

"Bring it!"

A big man grabbed the silver.

"Then give it to you!"

Zhu Qiyu looked indifferent, and flicked his fingers.

People outside the town were still watching the excitement, when a thunderous sound sounded.

Rumble!

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, there was a rapid and sharp piercing scream in the air in vain.

Then everyone's heart jumped wildly.

The silver ingot in Zhu Qiyu's hand was like a cannonball, wrapped in a huge force like a landslide and tsunami, it hit this person viciously.

boom!

The big man let out the miserable howl of today's things, and the whole person flew out like a dilapidated scarecrow, his chest was torn open into a chest the size of a fist, the front and back were transparent, and his heart disappeared.

Plop!

Blood was flowing, the body curled up, and there was no sound.

"court death!"

Several other big men roared angrily when they saw this, and immediately drew their knives and slashed over.

Bang bang bang!

During that time, Zhu Qiyu's palm turned into a phantom, and there were a few bang bang bangs, leaving the three big men staggering around in place.

Their heads had already been slapped into their necks, and they died suddenly without making a sound.

Dead!

The onlookers outside the town were shocked.

Zhu Qiyu didn't take more than one breath the whole time, and the four big men were already dead.

No one thought that this person would dare to kill the four guards of Shanhe Town in broad daylight.

"I rely on..."

Someone swallowed hard, thinking to himself that this person is beyond arrogant, you want his money, he wants your life.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

"There are enemies!"

After a short silence, there was a screaming sound from the town.

Not long after, with the sound of clattering footsteps, dozens of big men with swords rushed out, and the first one was a thin man with several scars on his face, which added a bit of evil spirit to his whole body.

"The seven leaders of Huanglong Village."

Someone recognized him.

The man glanced at the four dead guards, looked at their bodies, and his anger subsided a bit: "Your Excellency and my Shanhe Town have no grievances or enmities, why did you kill my brother!"

With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the four guards had no power to resist, and he immediately felt jealous of Zhu Qiyu's strength.

"No injustice?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered when he heard the words: "It is true that there is no injustice or hatred, but as bandits, how many people have you killed without injustice and hatred?"

. . . .

"What do you want!"

The lean man said coldly.

"Kill you!"

"Insanity!"

The reason why Shanhe Town has accepted a deal that has not been seen for hundreds of miles is because Shanhe Town is strong enough, almost no one dares to make trouble here, and the people who trade are also at ease.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, let Zhu Qiyu kill the four guards and leave intact. If the news spread, it would definitely affect the business of Shanhe Town. Therefore, even though he was afraid of Zhu Qiyu's strength, the lean man still led a group of people to kill him. Come.

"kill!"

"Hack him!"

The sound of shouting and killing suddenly became louder.

"Shen Lian."

Seeing dozens of bandits rushing towards him, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't make a move, but turned around and lifted his legs to leave.

The strongest of this group of bandits is the lean man, rank nine, and he has no desire to make a move.

"As ordered!"

Shen Lian immediately understood.
