The cost of Ganxi No. [-] Institute is slightly higher, half a child, folks say that it can eat poor people!Of course, Tang Youzhu's family background cannot be so weak, and he is not one to be stingy with his nephews, but now Daming is generally considered to have a good harvest, as long as there is no trouble, it takes dozens of birds' brains to pretend to be tofu and eat some vegetables Chickens, ducks and geese are a bastard thing, no matter how expensive it is, how much can it be?As for the concubines and concubines, the cost is even less. The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Concubine followed the Empress Dowager out of the palace to tour the south, and the emperor’s own mother was gone. The rest of them didn’t even have a son and a half. Living in the side hall of the Ning Palace is already very good, and the emperor only eats two dishes and one soup. Although they are not necessarily more frugal than the emperor, Tang Youzhu didn't deprive them much, but he must blindly let them live in luxury , but also impossible.

Calculated in this way, the combined monthly expenses of the masters are even less than 400 taels. How could it be so troublesome that Huangzhuang needs to occupy the people's land?

——It's a shame that the head of Huangzhuang was recommended by Wei Xing, who had served the emperor for more than ten years!

Yushi's words are like knives. Tang Youzhu, who was able to refute the doctor Yushi who asked him to be more filial to his biological mother when he was three or two years old, hid his face and retreated. , I can't refute it, at most it's an extremely pale sentence: "I will let someone thoroughly investigate and deal with it."

It really cleans up the face and the inside!Especially Gong Jiu, who was so drunk last night that he didn't wake up until lunch time, knew how to laugh at him since his eyes were sleepy!

Tang Youzhu said gloomyly: "Are you forcing me to pull out all the nails you put in the upper palace?" It's all well-informed, and you dare to show off in front of me!

Gong Jiu yawned lazily: "Your Majesty, why do you have to be so alien to me? The little manpower I have is also to protect you from producing rice seeds with a yield of [-] catties per mu. What a surprise!"

To put it bluntly, those people are not nail-biting ministers, but rather like the guards my Susu left for me!

Tang Youzhu rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed again: "So, before you get out that rice seed, it is necessary to keep me safe on the throne?"

Gong Jiu nodded proudly, what's so difficult about it?But an emperor's ear!He has already achieved great feats, even the old man dare not directly challenge him... As long as he is willing to let the little emperor sit on the dragon chair, nothing in the world can threaten him.

Tang Youzhu chuckled, not frightened by Gong Jiu's tone at all, but just blinked and pouted: "Then you can remember, I don't ask you anything else, just don't mess with me!"

Gong Jiu raised his eyebrows arrogantly.

He really didn't think that this little emperor, who at most walked around the outskirts of Beijing and couldn't even go to Changping, could cause any serious disaster.

——Poor Gong Jiu still doesn't know at this time that there are not only powerful and arrogant perverts in brocade robes who treat pain as enjoyment in this world, but also culprits who can cause chaos in the world without leaving home.

——Lu Xiaodan or something, compared to Tang Youzhu, it's so weak!

You must know that although Lu Xiaodan loves to toss about beating children, according to Mr. Gu's records, his tossing is always on target!The only time that the villain used it more thoroughly to kill relatively innocent and unlucky people, it seems to be a Jinpeng dynasty——

For now, the plot of the Jinpeng Dynasty has not yet started, and judging from Tang Youzhu's poverty, it is very likely that the plot of the Jinpeng Dynasty will not start in time for the reconstruction of river dams within the territory of the Ming Dynasty or for other reasons. The wealth of Huo Xiu and others may be confiscated in various ways.

After all, Dugu Yihe and Yan Tieshan are all innocent. Besides, Huo Xiu's Tsingyi Building...

Assassins and so on, although it is said that they are one of the two oldest industries along with prostitutes, prostitutes may still exist legally in China since ancient times, but killers have never been legal.

The decision to confiscate the Tsing Yi Building was really justifiable, and even Tang Youzhu, who claims to be the most respectful of the rule of law, would not have any hypocrisy of being soft-hearted.

At most, he hesitated whether to let Lu Xiaodan go out and toss away Yan Tieshan, Dugu, a crane and two, so that he could take over their property more confidently.

Tang Youzhu like this is really tossing, and the destructive power is naturally not comparable to that of a small egg.

So Gong Jiu quickly, um, although she didn't regret it, she was a little dizzy and more excited.

What Tang Youzhu was tossing this time was the land.

Didn't the censor participate in Huangzhuang's occupation of the people's fields?That's OK!I have determined the specifications of the emperor's estate, the crown prince's estate, the empress dowager's estate, and other concubine's estates. Even the empress dowager was upgraded to the empress dowager for various reasons, or to the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager, the emperor was promoted to the Emperor, or was upgraded to the Emperor... In short, all kinds of possibilities have been limited. In order to make the great seal that cannot be changed by future generations have absolute effect, he also specially made it Send it to Qingzhou quickly, and ask for a seal before the emperor who is reluctant to leave there!

Then, it began to drastically restrict the officials below!

The emperor, and the emperor's father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, etc., have restrictions on the land that can directly benefit from tax exemption. As ministers, why do you own more land than I and my children, wives, concubines, and elders?Could it be that Qing wants to seek court?Or usurpation?

Tang Youzhu showed an extremely gentle smile, in the eyes of all the ministers, especially Xu Yushi, who indirectly aroused public anger when he went to the emperor's manor with his cheap mouth, and his life is not very easy now, it was more ferocious than the devil's smile.

The old ministers who were still nodding their heads and cheering at the emperor's wise move to restrict the royal farmland before could not help but show bitterness.

They didn't necessarily intend to be the moths of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, some of these veterans even cried and admonished the Wenhuamen back then.

But who doesn't have a family to drag him down?Who doesn't have many descendants?

Although the Ming Dynasty had strict monitoring of officials and harsh punishments, many preferential treatment for scholars continued in the previous dynasty. and so on; as for Juren, you have the preliminary qualifications to become an official, but this is not the point. Anyway, most of the candidates can only be selected from the ninth rank, and usually the small officials who can't survive the sixth and seventh ranks in their entire lives-the important point Yes, the land under Juren’s name can be exempted from tax!Therefore, when one person is elected, there will be many strangers who are of the same clan, fellow countrymen or even strangers who don’t even know each other. Tete will take the initiative to put the land property under his name in order to avoid tax corvee!

The emergence of this situation is certainly the sorrow of the emperor, but if it continues in the long run, is it not the sorrow of the entire dynasty?

When the land is merged and the population is hidden, the national tax revenue is reduced, and the financial pressure is increasing, the scholar-bureaucrat class has eaten a lot of fat...It is not bad to hide wealth from the people, but if the rich are only the scholar-bureaucrat class, the common people below are more embarrassed than the country. However, due to tax pressure, they want to help the people and resist foreign enemies, but they are unable to do anything...

That would be really hehe!

Basically, all the reasons for the final defeat of feudal dynasties will have the shadow of excessive land annexation and the lack of livelihood for the common people. Of course, Daming has not yet reached that level, so Tang Youzhu was not in a hurry to bring this matter up. schedule.But who made that Xu Yushi talk cheaply—the so-called emperor's Huangzhuang's occupation of the people's fields is not a target, but Tang Youzhu also found out that it is really only a dozen acres of land between the two Huangzhuang. Although the eunuch Guanzhuang suppressed it The price and attitude are not very good, but the price offered is [-]% of the market price!It's not that Tang Youzhu protects his shortcomings, but it's really that when the rule of man is still greater than the rule of law, it's a bit too much for such a thing to get the upper hand.

Tang Youzhu intends to make the rule of law higher than the rule of man in his lifetime, but hasn't this started yet?Then Xu Yushi made it clear that he was undermining his prestige!I don't know which instigator is behind it?

But it doesn’t matter which one you choose, the road to the rule of law starts with maintaining your right to speak!Tang Youzhu stopped Tan Luzi's actions against Xu Yushi, but looking at Gong Jiu who was still eating and living in the palace, after abducting such a sentence, shouldn't it be safe and bold to act boldly?

Mr. Gu speaks highly of Gong Jiu's reputation, and Tang Youzhu believes that even in this world that has been stewed into a pot of rotten porridge, Gong Jiu's reputation is guaranteed.

He didn't ask him to really do his best to protect his throne, as long as Gong Jiu's subordinates didn't make trouble, and expressed a little bit of support for him, it was enough.

He didn't target Xu Yushi, he just knew his mistakes and could correct them, not only by himself, but also by motivating the entire Ming Dynasty to change.

The vested interests of the gentry are a piece of fat covered with thorns and even fangs, but Tang Youzhu is confident that he can chew it off.

Because his troubles over the years were not all blind troubles.

First of all, although most of the reputation for opening the emperor's inner treasury to relieve disasters and repair water conservancy has been given to Concubine Wan Gui, don't forget that the crown prince's inner treasury in the East Palace is also very selfless. The former prince and now His Majesty the Emperor, is a super simple and good young man who only eats two dishes and one soup or even one dish and one soup every day, even a small bowl of his favorite egg custard, and the money he saves is not Is it used to provide everyone with cement and iron bars to consolidate dykes, dams, roads and bridges, is it for the Xin Wang team to consider the cost of measures that benefit the people such as locust control and interplanting?

God is still easy to change his face. This year there is so much rain that the rice is afraid of drowning, and next year the weather is so dry that the potato production will be reduced... This is already a common thing, but it is His Majesty's benevolent government to be able to break the dike when the flood is young, and not to die of thirst during the drought. Sincerely.

The common people actually have very low requirements. As long as they can survive, they will be grateful.

And those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and it has never been just empty words.

Especially when this person who has won the hearts of the people still holds absolute force in his hands.

The battalions of the capital and the guards of the Northwest are all direct descendants of Tang Youzhu and Yuhuatian. The other armies are not as familiar as the former two, but Yuhuatian has been in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor for many years. They are 12 points loyal, but they will not be forced to reverse because of a land tax reform that is not very directly related to their interests.

Secondly, although Tang Youzhu didn't make any deletions and changes to the original eight-legged essay selection system, he opened up an additional skill class.In order to show their "respect" for the original scientific examination items such as Jinshi and Mingjing, those who won the Gongqiao department were not eligible to be exempted from taxes and corvees from the very beginning!Even if one has obtained the qualifications equivalent to Jinshi one by one, the land under his name that can be exempted from taxes is only twenty small acres, and the number of people in the family that can be exempted from corvee labor is only two to three people in each generation of direct elders (that is, father, aunt, mother, and grandfather, grandmother, grandmother, etc.), and one wife, three children.

As for the officials selected by the Gongqiao Division, the eighth rank is the same as this level. Below the eighth rank, the land will be reduced by three mu and the number of people exempted from corvee (children quota) will be increased by two mu. Only wives, concubines and children)...

Such strict restrictions made many officials from the original scientific examination system, and even mere scholarly students, feel superior to Jinshi officials from the Craftsmanship Department, but at this time, Tang Youzhu's sinister intentions were revealed!

Even if the original gentry interests want to go on strike, they are not afraid!I have many people from the crafts department who can take the lead first!You must know that although there are quite a few people with engineering and business backgrounds in the engineering department, there are also many people who have no progress after the middle school or scholar, and then resolutely "willing to degenerate" and transferred to the engineering department. Among these people, as long as With a little careful selection, you can always pick out some officials who are capable of replacing them!

With Gong Jiu on the side, let alone the frustrating words that his life depends on him to be guaranteed, at least there is one less troublemaker, just more supporters, right?

... As for Gong Jiu, after hearing his idea, he sometimes laughed and sometimes smirked and added fuel to him, so that Tang Youzhu strengthened his confidence and strength to toss and destroy, whether it was Xiao Jiuer or Tang Youzhu himself, None will admit it.

For the benefit of the common people and future generations, the movement to restrict land annexation has kicked off vigorously.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so bitter that they could drip water, including the clans whose Lutian was restricted according to the rank of His Majesty the Emperor, all wanted to yell at a certain Tang: Your Majesty, you are rich in the world, and you are still with me. What do we poor people who are not big landlords in front of you care about?

Tang Youzhu is serious:

"From then on, the construction and repair of my inner palace and the loss of daily expenses are all paid by the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Treasury—oh, by the way, my Imperial Palace must be restricted like the clan officials, so my salary must also be specified The specific number will be worked out by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials. As long as it is agreed by the ministers and the limit is more than one time but less than three times the prince's salary, I can accept it. The emperor, the empress dowager, and the future princes and princesses will discuss it together. set.

From then on, the consumption of the inner palace shall not be extended to the national treasury except for the royal estates and salaries of the palaces. Whether it is Zhen or the successor in the future, this is the case-but the repairs of the palaces of the previous dynasty, the sacrifices to the heavens, and other official expenses are not included. this column. "

So all the ministers were dumb, the emperor restricted his power in this way, no matter how dare they rant, can it be justified?It should be known that ever since the telegram came into existence, a casual word from the emperor could be spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows it, no one knows it!The emperor is now levying taxes on the gentry, but his own land property that does not need to pay taxes is the first to be restricted. If you mention that Juren has never paid taxes, is it possible that Juren is really more noble than the emperor?

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so bitter that they couldn't taste the taste even after eating a handful of sugar.

Tang Youzhu didn't wait for them to make any further statements. He first convened the cabinet and persuaded the veterans. The method is very simple: since ancient times, no literati have paid attention to reputation. Ming officials especially care about the word reputation, so Tang Youzhu is also very straightforward. Tell them directly: "The staff scattered in the various states and counties of the West Factory are all equipped with telegrams, and they have already publicized my intention to rectify the land annexation and implement the intention of sharing the land into the mu. It will take half a day for everyone to express their opinions after this time, and it will be known all over the country."

Because first in the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Taizu issued an order that "non-examinations are not allowed to be an official", and later, when Tang Youzhu was still the crown prince, he encouraged the Supreme Emperor to develop a number of crafts, and there are more and more folks who study, they are ordinary farmers and artisans. Home, as long as there is a chance, even if they are standing secretly outside the school, they still have to learn a few words. No one can say that they will not have a good craft and get out of the crafts department, right?

Because of this, the more literate people in this Ming Dynasty, the harder it is to cheat!It's just that ordinary people can't see the benefits of restricting the amount of tax-free land for gentry and thereby suppressing mergers, but the benefits of dividing the land into acres are obvious!For most people, it is much more cost-effective to pay taxes by land than by heads!What's more, the land is divided into several grades of fertile land and wasteland!

This is the emperor's sympathy for the people!At this time, whoever dares to stand up to refute the holy will may even be dug up and cast aside the graves of the ancestors!

The cabinet ministers have shut up, and for their sake, as long as their descendants don’t come out to do evil, the land is actually tax-free... Well, the tax is indeed a lot, but it’s just gargling with top-quality tea and drinking it every day. The gap between rinsing your mouth with ordinary tea leaves, but if you drink it seriously, it must be a good tea that everyone likes.

What's more, it can also promote the advancement of descendants for their own tax-free land...

The ministers had to shut up, so they had to work hard to find out more benefits of doing so. After searching and looking, I really hypnotized myself to believe that doing so would be of great benefit, not to mention many, but also quite a lot.

Of course, Tang Youzhu won't rely on the big guy to hypnotize himself. This horse trainer pays attention to hitting a sweet date with a stick!Is it possible that a man from the Great Five Sages is not as good as a horse trainer?After he forced the cabinet with the issue of reputation and did not dare to refute his sacred will in the affairs of various departments, he added two more wills: one is to officially allow the clan to be an official, but the imperial clan usually requires an imperial examination and an evaluation after becoming an official , and the evaluation procedure is not only for ordinary officials, but also the review of the clan government-although it looks strict, it solves the embarrassing situation of many middle and lower clan clans, and the official or something... Doesn't it mean that it is not separated Can fief restrictions be relaxed to some extent?This is an excellent thing!Even if the prince's fief is not small, it is really hard for this litter to see only a little bit of scenery for decades, not to mention that there are some fiefs that are so small that they have no place to go, or even no fiefs. The hard-pressed clans who can be kept in captivity in the land of Longxing.

The clan immediately felt that the emperor was really a good emperor.

Another purpose of the good emperor is to increase salaries for officials as appropriate!The current salary is indeed too low.Tang Youzhu doesn't fully agree with the policy of high salaries and cleanliness, but officials must at least let the family of dozens of people live a well-off life with their salaries, so that they can deal with corruption!If the salary makes people live worse than a slightly decent farmer and craftsman at a glance, Tang Youzhu feels that he is a humanitarian, and he really can't handle such a tricky thing!

You must know that Daming is not much worse than Song Dynasty now, and its force can beat him by eighteen blocks, and its technology is also world-leading, but how can the official salary of Song Dynasty be up to 87 guan, but the first-rank officials of Daming can only have a salary of [-] yuan? A monthly salary of [-] stone?One must know that it is always worth a thousand dollars, but two stones are worth about one tael of silver... The difference is almost ten times, okay?

People who demand the same job but have ten times the difference in income are generally clean and honest, Tang Youzhu asked himself how shameless he is.

Of course, the previous imperial courts just wanted to increase the salaries of officials and had no money, but the future imperial courts... have properly rectified the taxation. It may be officials and ordinary people!

Tang Youzhu is full of confidence and thinks that the plan is very proper. In fact, in the eyes of Gong Jiu, a guy who has never dealt with political affairs seriously, it is just a hammer here and there.

It's strange to say that he was tossing around like this, and he was tossing around very well.

At least the ministers and the clan stopped talking, and obediently promulgated and carried out the decree.

Only Yuhuatian on the battlefield of the Eastern Japan trembled with anger!

Does this fool really know how many unpaid people he has to support in his palace?Although there is still a lot of money in the internal treasury, but if this is going on, either his big goal of repairing the embankment will be delayed for many years because he has to reach out to the Ministry of Finance for everything, or he cannot afford to support the maids in the palace. The resentment curse given to the valet is dead!

Such an obvious account has not been settled yet, and he is still complacent about the so-called order and prohibition—even the people below are slow to implement his will, while gloating at his misfortune and waiting for him to change the order, really, really... …

A little bastard who can make a mistake at once!
