The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

······················

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Lu Bing quickly gave a thumbs up: "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Yan Ge's words!"

Huang Jin said in a sharp voice: "Exactly! Don't let the emperor cover you if Dongnan doesn't pay the protection fee!"

(Yan Songhan, as expected, is the head of Dongchang, opening his mouth is the protection fee.)

"Who is the richest in Southeast?" Yan Song asked with a smile.

"Of course it's a big gentry and a big businessman!" Jiajing's eyes lit up: "Could it be?"

"Yes!" Yan Song said seriously: "I have a method to raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War, called the "Timing Method"!"

"The so-called drafting law is a special temporary tax law for raising funds for fighting against the Japanese."

"The big gentry and big merchants in the southeast are the richest, but after the war against Japan began, they did everything possible to evade tax burdens and refused to share the country's worries." Yan Song smiled inscrutablely: "The method mentioned by the minister is to treat these people as rich and unkind. , unscrupulous merchants."

........

Jiajing suddenly stood up excitedly: "That's right, my Ming Dynasty has been in trouble for a long time. But these richest gentry merchants, relying on their own privileges, committed crimes, evaded taxes, even seduced Japanese pirates, and divided the spoils inside and outside! They also deserve retribution gone."

At the end of the count, the words squeezed out between his teeth.

"The compilation method is to divide the gentry people in the southeast into five classes. The first class is the big gentry, big merchants, and big merchants. The second class is ordinary gentry, merchants, landlords, and brothel guild halls. The third class is the Ordinary small landlords, small businessmen, and small families. The fourth class is small businessmen and ordinary people, and the fifth class is the poor." Yan Song said seriously: "The fifth class will be re-stated in the southeast to mention volumes, and divide them accordingly.”

"When levying special anti-Japanese funds, start from the first class and go down in order. For example, if we need 1000 million taels this year, we will start collecting from the first class of big merchants, big clans, and big merchants. The amount is 1000 million, and apportioned Go on. Whoever dares not to hand over will be accused of undermining the Anti-Japanese War and let him go bankrupt!" Yan Song laughed harmlessly to humans and animals, but the content of what he said made the big gentry in the southeast shudder.

However, this nomination method is not his original creation, but a tax collection method that appeared in the Jiajing period in the original history.

"Let them go bankrupt? That's great!" Jiajing was overwhelmed, his eyes shining brightly: "Yan Aiqing's plan is good!"

"After a few years, the first class can't bear it anymore, so it's the turn of the second class, third class, and so on." Yan Song said seriously: "That is to say, as long as the first class is not bankrupt, it will not be the turn of the second class." After the second class. In this way, ordinary people will hardly be exploited by exorbitant taxes, and only those big businessmen and landlords will be unlucky."

"Okay!" Lu Bing and Huang Jin, who were crooked buttocks, also applauded repeatedly.

"In addition, as for those families that colluded with the inside and outside, once the evidence is confirmed, they will be uprooted without hesitation." Yan Song said with a smile: "In this way, their wealth can also be turned into anti-Japanese funds to support the army in combat. In addition, If there is any emergency use by the imperial court, it can also be temporarily borrowed from the southeast on "Two Seven Seven", the emperor understands. Cough cough."

Jiajing laughed out loud.

Of course he does.

If the imperial court has any urgent needs, such as building the palace for Emperor Jiajing, buying medicinal materials for the emperor, and buying jewelry for the emperor's harem, they can be temporarily borrowed from it, haha.

Yan Song's "Timing Law" is actually using the righteous name of the Anti-Japanese War to use the emergency state in the southeast as a cover to brandish the crimes of "undermining the Anti-Japanese War" and "internal communication with Japanese pirates" to severely punish and search for the big gentry and businessmen in the southeast. , big officials, the emperor, and the court sit on a proposal to share the spoils.

However, there are three advantages of this "Timing Law". Southeastern interests.If you don't pay, the court has no money to send troops, and you will be the ones who suffer.

The second is to specifically defraud the big households and not plunder the common people.The fifth-class nomination method starts with the rich, and when the rich are poor, it is the turn of the next class.The people are the last to suffer and pay the money. This way, it is not easy to cause civil uprisings in the southeast.Previously, Jiajing did not dare to raise taxes in the southeast, worrying that the people would not be able to survive, defecting to the Japanese pirates or rebelling against them was an important reason, but now these worries are gone.

The third is the most important thing, that is, Jiajing can finally find a legal, reasonable, and reasonable excuse to let out the anger of being assassinated on the Southern Tour!In the future, whoever is not pleasing to the eye in the southeast, who dares to pierce him, or is involved in this matter, makes him bankrupt, and dare not let a fart go!

In addition, there is another dark secret.

Jiajing is insanely poor, and he has long coveted the rich southeast, otherwise why did he have this southern tour?

Yan Song's "Timing Law" allows Jiajing to openly search for big households, and also take the opportunity to make a fortune without leaving a bad reputation or hidden dangers. Why not do it?

Jiajing slapped his hands red, and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He pointed at Yan Song and gasped with laughter: "Yan Song, you, you!"

His face darkened, and he shouted: "Are you convicted?"

Yan Song was bewildered, Jiajing's reaction was beyond his expectation?

What, this old man, changed his temper today?Dogs don't eat shit?

Lu Bing and Huang Jin also spoke good words for Yan Song: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Ge's "Ti Bian Fa" is quite good, what's the crime?"

With a straight face, Jiajing stared at Yan Song viciously for a long time, and said word by word: "You have such a good method of "Timing Law", why didn't you tell me earlier? It hurt me that I have been so angry by those big southeastern families these days." Let's eat! I am worried about you, what should you do?"

Only then did Yan Song know that Jiajing had committed another crime by pretending to be a cancer.

Only then did Jiajing laugh, and he came down and patted Yan Song on the back in person. For the first time, without the courtesy of a king, he hooked his shoulders and said, "Yan Aiqing is really Zhang Liang's wife! manage!"

Jiajing frowned again: "However, there are too many people I want to rectify, so I have to make a list."

Yan Song remained calm, and handed over a piece of paper: "The minister has drawn up the list for the emperor, please have a look at it, and revise it for review."

He lowered his voice: "These are the biggest fat sheep in Jiangnan."

Jiajing was taken aback, and opened the list. The names and coefficients of the nine major families in the south of the Yangtze River and the salt merchants in Yangzhou were listed on it, which can be called a must-have strategy for slaughtering fat sheep......

"Hahaha! The so-called don't look at the current joy, just be afraid of making a list after autumn! Don't read what Yan Aiqing listed, just take the medicine according to the prescription!" Jiajing smiled happily, swept away the depression in his heart before, and looked at it with great admiration. Yan Song: "Yan Aiqing, you are really a panacea bestowed on me by the heavens."

When Lu Bing and Huang Jin heard that there was a legal opportunity to raid the house, they scrambled to be the first to say, "Please leave this job to Jin Yiwei, Your Majesty!"

"No no, give it to me, Dongchang!"

Jiajing put on a straight face: "Shut up! Listen to Yan Aiqing"

Yan Song said with a smile: "Governor, don't get excited. This "Provision Law" is tax collection, not house raiding. It's best to let the governor of Liangjiang~ appointed by the imperial court do it. It's justified, and it's hard for the big families in the southeast to eat coptis. Can't tell."

This is tantamount to handing over the "Provision Law" to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian's power has invisibly raised another level.

Jiajing nodded all of them, extremely satisfied.
