The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song→_→!

If you are poor, why pretend?

"Your Majesty, if we don't have money, we won't be able to mobilize the army, we won't be able to pay the army, and we won't even be able to buy muskets and bullets to supply the front line." Yan Song snapped his fingers in various ways to settle accounts for Jiajing.

Jiajing finally let out a long sigh, with an infinite look of loneliness on his face, and said in a low voice: "Yan Aiqing, tell me, how can you get rich?"

···········

Yan Song said in his heart, you've finally given in, it would be nice to admit defeat earlier, the provincial cabinet is always intriguing with you, and it took such a lot of effort?

Yan Song was MMP in his heart, but his face was also dejected, and he seemed particularly unwilling to say: "Actually, Your Majesty, there is an emergency solution. It's just... alas, let's not talk about it! It's too embarrassing!"

"Speak! Tell me quickly!" Jiajing said urgently like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

The more he urged, the more Yan Song refused to speak, and said coyly: "Oh, as the chief assistant, I can't share the worries of the emperor, but I still want to offer such a shameful alliance under the city. I can't say it!"

........

Jiajing repeatedly asked: "At this moment, there is no one else but you and me. As my chief assistant, what else can you not say! Tell me the truth! What is the best way?"

Yan Song hesitated for a long time before finally pretending to be cornered by Jiajing, shyly saying in shame, "Actually, your majesty understands this method."

Jiajing: "...Could it be that you want me to bow my head to those rich businessmen?"

Yan Song's face was serious, and he denied three times: "No! No! Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty, I didn't say anything."

Jiajing let out a long sigh...

It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero.

He, the emperor of the ages, a hero of a generation, once dominated the situation and played with countless heroes and traitors in his palms, but until now, he never imagined that there would be a day when he would bow his head to those businessmen because he had no money.

Jiajing knew very well that what the businessmen asked for to pay was to let him pass the new tax law...

But the new tax law, for Daming, is tantamount to an unprecedented earthquake.

The new tax law not only abolished the old Zhu's family's privilege of not paying taxes, but also abolished all kinds of privileges of landlords and famous scholars not paying taxes.

It requires people all over the world to pay taxes without discrimination.Those who have money will pay more, and those who have no money will not pay.

Chapter 2131 Soldiers on the Great Wall [7]

Not only that, but it also imposed severe constraints on the landlord class who occupied the largest land.Once the land tax is thrown out, it is tantamount to slashing at the necks of the landlords with a kitchen knife.

How much land tax does a landlord have to pay a year?

If this was implemented, Jiajing estimated that every landlord in the world would complain and oppose the Ming court.

After all, the land system that has been implemented in China for thousands of years has no land tax.

Merchants cracked down on landlords' hoarding of land for the purpose of developing capitalist industry and commerce.Otherwise, if the land is occupied by landlords, how can we open factories and farms?Where do farmers come from as workers?

Jiajing knows everything clearly, but what else can he do now?

"July [-]" mobilized the army to forcefully suppress it?

The 30 Manchurian and Mongolian troops on the northern border and around Beijing alone are enough for him to drink a pot.

But Jiajing at this time was still a die-hard diehard.

He has the character of not crying until he sees the coffin, and not turning back until he hits the south wall.

"No!" Jiajing gritted his teeth and said viciously: "I am the lord of the world, how can I easily agree to such a rude request? If the businessman succeeds in coercing me this time, will he make more progress next time and be even more rampant? Can the villain succeed?"

He gritted his teeth, as if he had a deep hatred for the merchants.

Yan Song sighed, but he was happy in his heart.

Just be stubborn, I want to see how long you can last.

This time, the boss of this pavilion is going to create a serious crisis for you, so you have to agree!

If you want to fight against the old man in this pavilion, you are no longer your opponent, Your Majesty.

As early as the day when the elders of this cabinet secretly supported capitalist industry and commerce, you should cut the mess quickly and kill it in time.It's a pity that you were a little confused by the elders of this cabinet at that time, and you didn't do anything. Now that capitalist industry and commerce have grown bigger and become the financial foundation of the country, you will regret it too late.

Yan Song's reforms were actually to remove the stools from the emperor's feet little by little, but he indulged Jiajing's cultivation of immortals and spent extravagantly, but he asked the emperor to keep going up.

The emperor walked higher and higher, and there were fewer and fewer stools under his feet, and the collar around the emperor's neck would tighten Jiajing's neck sooner or later, making him lose power.

(Jiajing: "Yan Aiqing, kick the stool for me, thank you!" Yan Song: "Good!")

In short, Jiajing's dead duck has a hard mouth now, and it's just a flashback.

Yan Song now has a lot of ways to force Jiajing to submit.

He said righteously: "Yes! Your Majesty is right! How can we be coerced by businessmen so easily? Let them have the final say? Your majesty is still wise."

Jiajing gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Aiqing, I know it's hard to be a poor family, and it's even more difficult to fight Manmeng without money, but I ask you to be in the middle and find a way to raise military salaries for the front line. I must win this battle! After the difficulties, I will find a way to restore Daming to the agricultural society of the past and kill all capitalist commerce! I would rather leave a poor but stable imperial power to my descendants than a rich but declining imperial power. go down!"

This is the voice of Jiajing.

It is better for the country to be poor than to lose power.

Yan Song felt MMP in his heart, and smiled on his face.

Paralyzed, I really thought so, the evil feudal monarchy.You think it's pretty good, but after two or three hundred years, when Europe rises, I see how you have been in Ming Dynasty for tens of thousands of years, so go eat shit.
