The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After the officials entered the palace, they began to discuss relief matters in Hainan.

The sorrow on the face of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi disappeared, and there was a hint of joy in his voice: "Open the national treasury and internal funds to provide relief to the people of Hainan. Starting from this year, we will collect one cent more tax from the people."

There was an uproar in the hall.

All the officials were confused after hearing this.

Liu Jing, who was in charge of the official affairs, couldn't help but said: "Now that the world is covered with heavy snow, not many farmers have been affected by the disaster. How can the imperial court raise taxes at this time?"

The tax collected by the Ming Dynasty from the people was nine cents of silver per mu.

Add one cent, which is exactly one denarius.

Zhang Zhongming, the director of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also said solemnly: "Yes, the people's income is meager. If the imperial court adds another point, it will be even more overwhelmed."

Many officials hummed and looked at each other with doubts deep in their eyes.

Looking at the six ministers, they saw that the six people had light and calm faces, looking very unconcerned.

After looking at the cabinet again, Liu Gong and Jiang Gong were also indifferent.

What's going on?

The officials' expressions froze. The imperial court raised taxes. Liu Gong and others should have objected, but they seemed to be oblivious to what was going on outside the window.

Jiang Mian looked back, with helplessness on his face, and made an oath in front of the palace not to reveal a word.

We can also understand why Yan Chengjin did this.

Zhu Houzhao turned a deaf ear to the advice and smiled happily: "This is my decree. It will be collected by the Economic Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and then handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for control. The cabinet will draft the decree."

All the officials were stunned for a moment after hearing this. It was the new emperor's will to dare to be affectionate.

Only then did he notice that the new emperor had made another achievement on the huanghuali wooden board.

Liu Jian bowed slightly: "I obey your order!"

Neither the cabinet nor the six ministries had any objections. What else could the officials say? They lamented in their hearts, stopped talking and left the hall.

Liu Jing caught up with Jiang Mian, bowed slightly to him, and said solemnly: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, riots continued in various places. How can the people endure it if another cent of tax money is added?"

Jiang Mian was a little annoyed, but when he saw several civil servants behind Liu Jing, he said patiently: "This matter has been discussed by the cabinet and the six ministries. It is not the decision of the new emperor alone. You don't need to say anything more."

"May I ask which adult gave the advice?"

Jiang Mian looked at Liu Jing with strange eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you still want to impeach?"

The Di newspaper spread out of the capital, and government orders were also issued to the prefectures and counties in the two capitals and fifteen provinces.

When they saw the time being announced in the residence of Shuntian Mansion, the people in the capital suddenly became excited.

The amount of tax is a major matter related to people's livelihood.

Since the tax was increased once in the 13th year of Hongzhi, the court has not levied taxes for a long time, and the people gradually praised the Supreme Emperor for his wisdom.

At this moment, I felt a chill in my heart when I saw Di Bao.

Liu Qing, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, quickly pressed his hands and shouted: "In disaster years, the imperial court will open warehouses for relief, so there is no need to panic."

He also couldn't understand the imperial court's will.

Fengtian Temple.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was uneasy and increased the tax, but did not tell the people the reason for the tax increase.

It's like giving someone a fifty-dollar sentence without explaining why.

There will be resentment.

Xiao Jing walked in in a hurry, and the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and calmed down: "How do the people react to the New Deal?"

Xiao Jing lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Not good."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi felt a sense of loss. This was obviously good governance that was beneficial to the world.

But he couldn't tell the people the reason.

At this moment, I deeply realized the difficulty of being an emperor, and felt a sense of humiliation and burden.

"Call the cabinet and six ministries."

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others were thoughtful, and they were also thinking about the reaction of the people. However, it is not good for the imperial court to use people's tax money to do business and spread the news.

But this is a good strategy to reduce the court's taxes.

With extra money, the court could build water conservancy projects, strengthen military preparedness, build more people-beneficial pharmacies, and provide compensation and resettlement for more refugees.

Only a prosperous age can be expected.

Li Dongyang bowed and said: "When the relief money in Hainan is distributed, the people will understand."

Wang Qiong said: "I have calculated the accounts and sent them to Taicang to allocate money and food. However, I always feel that Yan Chengjin only came up with such a thoughtful strategy after reading the book."

The prince's face changed slightly and his body trembled. Yan Chengjin was only twenty-three years old, but he often came up with such extraordinary methods.

If they haven't read the book behind the scenes, they won't believe it.

Jiang Mian also nodded, with a solemn look on his face: "I have thought about this too."

After all, this boy is too young.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes. If this book could be read by all the princes, I wonder how many strategies for governing the country would come from it.

"I kicked him ten times before he moved. This guy won't hand it over."

Li Dongyang suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly lowered his head.

Wang Qiong said without hesitation: "I...I can go and ask."

…

Yanfu.

Wang Qiong came to the door with several tonics. Recently, it is popular in Beijing to give this kind of tonic. It contains Korean ginseng, wolfberry, Codonopsis pilosula, sea dog whip...

Put it on the tea table and don’t even bother drinking the tea.

He looked at Yan Chengjin with a smile: "I haven't seen my nephew for a long time. I feel energetic."

Yan Chengjin's face was full of vigilance, but he said nothing.

Wang Qiong took out a bunch of paper-wrapped candied haws from his sleeve, handed it to Yan Fanglai kindly, and said with a smile: "Eat."

Yan Fanglai held his head high, looked at Wang Qiong with big eyes, and said softly: "Dad said it was poisonous."

Wang Qiong felt a twinge of pain in her heart, her smile froze on her face, and she cheered up again: "Good boy, your father is right."

"Master Wang has very little contact with me. Why do you come to visit me today?" Yan Chengjin said straight to the point.

Wang Qiong looked serious and nodded: "I came here today to ask my nephew, which books did you read the truth from?"

The first time, I thought Yan Chengjin had come up with it by accident.

The second time, I felt something was a little strange.

Yan Chengjin was only 23 years old and had never done business. He had been studying in the capital since he was born. He would never believe that Yan Chengjin could understand such a truth.

Wang Qiong believed that he must have read it from some book, but this boy would not reveal it easily.

The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the money and silver in the world. He wanted to get Yan Chengjin's method and do some good deeds for the people of the world.

Yan Chengjin's eyes showed a thoughtful look. There was indeed a method, not just his imagination.

In the previous life, economic and financial theories reached extremely terrifying heights.

The workshops in Daming were springing up like bamboo shoots, and it was a period of capital prosperity.

If there were relatively complete forms of economic and financial theory guidance, just like a novice getting Buffett's stock trading secrets, business activities would become more mature.

Yan Chengjin looked up at the courtyard, looking thoughtful, "I am dissatisfied with Lord Wang. There are indeed methods and books."

Wang Qiong's face suddenly changed, his heart suddenly accelerated, and he looked at Yan Chengjin cautiously: "What book is it?"

"It's science."

Yan Chengjin didn't lie, it is indeed closely related to mathematics.

Wang Qiong frowned, even more shocked, but did not doubt Yan Chengjin's words.

He read all the ancient books, and so did the gentlemen. If there is such a record in the ancient books, even if he doesn't know, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian and others should know it after reading all the books.

Only science, they have not touched on it.

Wang Qiong's face relaxed instantly, and he took a deep breath: "So that's the case, nephew, can you point out which one it is?"

"Science, mathematics."

Wang Qiong's face was stern, and he murmured in his mouth, no wonder, no wonder...

I worked overtime last night, the second update will be later
