Chapter 38 National Celebration, Tax Exemption

Cabinet backstab!

Han Ge was very sad.

My heart is full of incomprehension.

Why didn't even the party leader take his stand.

Donglin College.

Admission to the first class.

It is his duty to eradicate the treacherous and treacherous people around the emperor, and help the Ming Dynasty.

But since the new emperor ascended the throne.

The party leader treats His Majesty with everything he wants.

Everything His Majesty asks for is not allowed.

Turn a blind eye to the traitors around His Majesty.

perhaps.

One of the three masters.

Coupled with the honor of the imperial concubine in the harem, did this newly promoted "Head of the Country" forget his true heart?

That being the case.

Then the position of party leader of Donglin Academy should be given up.

even.

It's time for Guozhang to cut off from Donglin Academy.

"Mr. Han Ge, do you still insist on your own opinion?"

Zhu Youjian stared at Elder Han Ge who was absent-minded, and said in a concentrated voice.

as emperor.

Too many opportunities have been given.

"The minister's stubborn wishes are all for the country!"

Han Ge came back to his senses, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he spoke with certainty.

For the country.

For Donglin.

Even against the Sacred Heart.

Even if it brings disaster.

Not my fault!

"I understand Elder Han Ge's intentions, let's put it aside for now, Ye Xiang, let's talk about the reason for the cabinet's collective audience!"

Zhu Youjian nodded and said.

The emperor is the father of the country.

A generation without father and king like Mr. Han Ge.

According to the law of the country.

rebellious.

Cut it off!

"Returning to Your Majesty, due to the incident of Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants, a large-scale anti-business wave broke out among the people, which caused a big blow to the business of the country and the dynasty. The cabinet is at a loss, and I am here to ask for advice."

Ye Shoufu got up and replied respectfully.

Guess the emperor's heart.

The most important thing is to understand the emperor's emotions and attitudes.

According to his experience of serving the emperors of four dynasties, Han Yu has been rejected by His Majesty.

Not surprisingly.

The best ending for Han Yu is to leave his job and return to foster care, and the worst ending...

"If you are helpless, you should have some ideas, Ye Xiang, tell me your ideas!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ye Shoufu calmed down, and said slowly: "My humble opinion, Guochao merchants are struggling now, and the imperial court must provide help, otherwise, Guochao business is likely to collapse.

However, in the midst of such a large-scale anti-business wave in the country, if the government issues a national policy that favors businessmen, it may arouse public anger.

It has to help, but it cannot help clearly. This is the dilemma faced by the court.

The minister thought that at this time, it is necessary to divert the attention of the people from the merchants as much as possible.

For example, opening a session of Enke, expanding the number of recruits, and allowing Guochao students to take the exam in Beijing, so that without the students in the place, the impact on businessmen will decrease as time goes by. "

Speaking of which.

Ye Shoufu paused.

With a large number of Enke Jinshi quotas, students from all over the country are attracted to Beijing. Without those who can read and write, without these sober people, the "ignorant" people will lose their organizational power.

Returning to the state of "wandering soldiers and scattered bravery", the businessmen of the Kingdom and Dynasty will be less affected, and naturally, the impact on the business of the Kingdom and Dynasty will also be reduced.

It has been a long time since the students returned to the place. After the storm subsides, it is impossible to start a big wave.

It's a way to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.

Using means to deceive the people in disguise, so that the people cannot see the truth of the matter clearly.

It has always been the art of governing the people by officials.

Get rid of people who can ask questions, and you don't have to worry about solving problems.

Noticing the subtle change in His Majesty's eyes, Ye Shoufu immediately continued: "I also feel that this method is inappropriate, so I dare not draft the text and submit it to the palace.

Before seeing His Majesty, the minister felt deeply that he had no face and was ashamed of the tens of thousands of people in the country.

But when the minister saw His Majesty, His Majesty bestowed a seat on the minister, and the minister could listen to the reports of Commander Shen and Governor Yu.

Chen suddenly had some immature thoughts, but he didn't know right or wrong.

But since His Majesty asked, I could only answer bravely, and ask Your Majesty to correct any omissions. "

a few words.

Ye Shoufu regarded his plan of "drawing salary from the bottom of the pot" as a temporary wrong idea, and did not intend to actually implement it.

Back to the stand of serving the country, the king and the people.

"Ye Xiangchang speaks freely, I will not be punished for speaking!"

Zhu Youjian saw through that little thought, and went out with a reassurance.

When it comes to major events, let people speak, but also let people dare to speak.

"Your Majesty's comment on Naya, it's my honor!"

Ye Shoufu breathed a sigh of relief, paused and said: "The capital of Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants exceeds 15 billion taels of silver, which is more than the 300-year taxation of the Kingdom!

It is not easy for the people to support the imperial court for more than 200 years.

As the folk saying goes: "Reciprocity is a courtesy".

Nowadays, the imperial court has been poor for a long time and suddenly rich, so it is right to return the courtesy.

However, there are tens of millions of people in the country, and the court still needs to plan to return the gift, so there is no rush.

Repaying the gift can wait, but the support of the people of the country to the court may as well stop here.

Taxes are exempt! "

tax.

It refers to land tax and various exorbitant taxes.

The imperial court has been using these to support officials and the army.

Due to layers of exploitation.

The people are miserable.

If it can be written off.

It will be a matter of national celebration.

Naturally, the common people have no intention of paying attention to the merchants.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Fang Xiang, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly when he heard the words, but from the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Fang Cifu was deep in thought, so he couldn't help asking.

"I feel the same way!"

Fang Cifu stood up and recalled: "In the early years, I served as the secretary of the Imperial College and sacrificed wine.

In Guozijian, there are two kinds of students, one is donated students and the other is tribute students.

Donate students, to donate a large amount of gold and silver to enroll in school, all come from wealthy families, there is nothing to say.

As for the Gongsheng students, although most of them are from wealthy families, there are also many students who come from poor backgrounds, but their qualifications are beyond the reach of the local government.

I have been in the Guozijian for nearly ten years, and I have seen more than a hundred students with such extraordinary qualifications, but fewer than ten of them finally became officials.

The minister felt very sorry.

The minister once searched for the reason, although Guozijian distributed money and food to the students, but in this land where every inch of land in the capital is worth an inch of money, it is still difficult to survive with that little money and food, let alone buy books and pens.

The money and food for poor students in Beijing often come from poor families. If the weather is good and the harvest is good, they can still afford to study.

Whenever there is a disaster, or the year when the government imposes miscellaneous taxes, the poor students have no money to eat, so they have to choose to leave the Guozijian.

The minister was just thinking, if the imperial court had been so rich decades earlier, and there had been officials as outspoken and dare to advise as Mr. Shoufu, those poor students might not have to leave the Imperial College. "

Speaking of excitement.

Fang Cifu burst into tears.

then.

He once wanted to help the poor students, but his meager salary was not much better than the students.

Having more than enough heart but not enough energy is a kind of torture for a person like him who likes to be a teacher.

The corner of Ye Shoufu's mouth twitched slightly, although it was not good to say anything else at this time.

But Zhonghan, when you were serving as the imperial concubine, I was also the chief assistant of the cabinet.

then.

The treasury that ran the mouse did not allow him to say such a righteous remonstrance.

"Ye Xiang, Fang Xiang's heart, I already understand, then, let's implement it!"

Chapter 39 The Vision of the Emperor, the Destruction of the Donglin Party

national policy!

Tax exemption.

The cabinet drafted a decree, and the emperor stamped it with a jade seal, and it was completed.

The news swept from the capital to the land of the country like a storm.

Countless people burst into tears and shouted long live His Majesty.

Scholars played their crowns to celebrate each other, and poems and essays were held in various places to praise His Majesty's kindness.

The historians are the busiest.
