Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian leaned forward.

Although there is a problem with the title of Guli Aza.

However, his words instantly allowed Zhu Youjian to find a way to rule Mongolia.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has adopted the method of "vassal" plus "expulsion" to rule the grasslands.

Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianshen, or later Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houcong.

The policy towards Mongolia is consistent.

Completely surrender to me: move inward and be included in the military system for control.

The vassal surrendered: draw a no-man's land and create a buffer zone - draw an area for you that is strictly forbidden to enter. If you dare to come in, I will kill you!

With this said, you can easily understand why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty worked tirelessly on the Northern Expedition.

And when the Mongolian tribes surrendered, they launched the Northern Expedition again and again.

After understanding this, you can also discover the difference between the actual control and territory of the Ming Dynasty.

……

This method cannot be said to be faulty, but it is still outdated after all.

With the advent of the steam engine, such a method of governance was useless in Zhu Youjian's opinion.

Guli Aza's words made Zhu Youjian instantly find a way to break in.

He smiled and said to Guli Aza:

"The Qing family is interested."

……

what?

The emperor's words made the officials' eyes widen.

"His Majesty!

Liu Zhisheng, a common scholar in Hanlin Academy! "

Someone stood up and began to refute righteously:

"Mongolia are barbarians, how can they be concubines!

Your Majesty, no!

Your Majesty is our great emperor, how can you accept the barbarians..."

Zhu You took a closer look and found out that he was a newly promoted Enke Jinshi.

……

At the beginning, in order to cover up the truth about Enke, Zhu Youjian still selected dozens of traditional Confucian scholars.

According to the usual practice, except for the top pick, second pick, and top pick, they will directly stay in the capital as officials.

The second- and third-class Jinshi students need to take the exam again. After comprehensive examination results, the best ones will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy.

It is also commonly known as "Dian Hanlin".

For the rest, most of the second-level Jinshi served as directors in various ministries, while the others were assigned to serve as officials in various places.

Zhu Youjian founded Enke just to change the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

How can we let these people go to this place again?

Therefore, all these dozens of hidden "new scholars" stayed in the capital.

This Liu Chisheng came from Jiangnan.

Jin Yiwei's investigation showed that the Liu family was from Yancheng, Huai'an Prefecture, and their family business was quite large.

"Ok?"

Zhu Youjian's cold eyes glanced over:

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, both Taizu and Chengzu have had concubines from vassal states.

Mongolia is still a vassal of our Ming dynasty, how come they are barbarians? "

"Come here!"

Zhu Youjian shouted angrily, waved his hand to summon the sergeant, and said in a deep voice:

"Drag out those who instigate the various tribes of our Ming Dynasty and intend to cause chaos in China!"

The strong man stepped forward and dragged Liu Chisheng away.

But Liu Chisheng was still shouting:

"Your Majesty, no!

Your Majesty is the king of the Ming Dynasty. He is the legitimate son of Heaven. How could the barbarians tarnish the blood of the king...

I, Liu Zhisheng, from Huai'an, Nanzhili, would rather die than advise the king! "

Liu Zhisheng scratched his neck. He would rather be dragged away, but he still yelled.

Zhu Youjian sneered.

Good trick!

Isn't this the same old routine they used before?

Get a slap on the butt, get a great reputation, and then, after a while of scholarly noise, you can become famous in China and skyrocket!

Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and the strong man pressed Liu Zhisheng and stopped at the entrance of the palace.

Zhu Youjian said to Ni Yuanlu:

"Great Situ, I have already issued a decree:

Anyone who is an official must not evade taxes.

Violators will be deprived of their honors and will not be allowed to be employed for three generations.

Check his family's tax payment status. "

Zhu Youjian's light words made Liu Chisheng's expression change drastically.

And Wu Ganlai, the "human computer", has been waiting for a long time.

Before Ni Yuanlu could speak, Wu Ganlai said immediately:

"Your Majesty, the family of Liu Zhisheng, a common scholar in the Hanlin Academy, has 38 acres and 62 acres of land, three workshops, and more than 870 civilian workers.

Last year, I paid taxes to the country, with six taels of silver and another 110 copper coins.

The year before last, there was zero tax.

Last year, I paid zero taxes.

……

The accumulated tax paid in the previous ten years was seventy-two and three-cent two cents, and another sixteen copper coins. "

As soon as Wu Ganlai said these words, Liu Zhisheng collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Youjian sneered:

"He is indeed a loyal man to the country!

My family owns nearly 900 acres of land and employs nearly [-] workers. For ten years, they only gave it to me...

Oh……

Do not!

The feeling is that I won the Jinshi last year, so I paid six taels of tax to me.

In the nine years before he took the test, the family only paid a total of more than one tael in taxes!

What a smart girl!

This is treating me like a beggar! "

As soon as Zhu Youjian spoke, Liu Zhisheng struggled to his knees and opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

……

In fact, these sixty-two tax dollars...

It’s really not low!

The Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, aren’t they just beggars?

I'll give you a little free time and that'll be it...

You must know that the annual commercial tax of Jinhua, a city in the south of the Yangtze River that people constantly call "heavy taxation", is less than seven taels of silver.

Look, the total amount of commercial tax in this prefecture is less than seven taels of silver. In the county annals, it is written openly that commercial tax has been suspended for a long time.

Are places like this rare?

Do not!

It's the norm!

Especially for the wealthy Jiangnan!

Song Yingxing also said this: "At the height of Wanli, the (salt merchant's) capital in Guangling was no less than 3000 million taels, and the annual interest (salt merchant's profit) could generate 900 million taels, and only one million was lost to the country."

There is a very obvious phenomenon in the taxation of the Ming Dynasty - the richer the place, the richer the people, the less they pay; the poorer the place, the poorer the people, the more they pay!

Just like Brother Dong, for just one piece of salary, you can pay a chicken!

In the Ming Dynasty, they played like this!

The agricultural tax and commercial tax set by Zhu Yuanzhang are only [-] in [-] taxes!

Some scholars have calculated that in non-Jiangnan areas, the total amount of agricultural tax paid to local governments has reached dozens of times the quota;

In the same period, the commercial tax was less than [-]%.

This is paid to the local government.

So after collecting it, the amount transferred to the capital is less than one-tenth.

(Everyone still remembers when I talked about the "empty seal case" earlier. Didn't Lao Zhu kill him unjustly?

The empty seal case is a policy implemented by officials in order to embezzle tax revenue.

Blank seal: The grain and silver sent from the local government to the capital are not on the stamped tax receipt. Fill in the minimum delivery amount and fill it in after arriving in the capital.

For example, if one million taels are shipped from a certain place, after arriving in the capital, all one needs to do is fill in one tael of silver on the shipping receipt.

Just give it to the treasury and hand over one tael of silver!

The remaining 99 taels of silver are gone!

You tell me - is it legal?

However, under the "empty seal" system introduced by Jiangnan Group, it is legal!

This is empty printing.

I said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not killed unjustly, and there were still people who were stubborn, and that I forcibly cleared Zhu Yuanzhang's name...

Brother Dong indeed thinks so.

Regardless of whether it was the Ming Dynasty or modern times, if you look up the people who said the Kongyin case was cruel, their place of origin, current place of residence, and their own class are surprisingly consistent. )

I advise brothers to look at it clearly. People are paying for propaganda, but we have to pay the electricity bill ourselves, so let’s waive it...

People will laugh at us...
