Chapter 422: To live is to die(2/2)

Liu Shimin stepped forward and took it to Zhu Xu. Zhu Xu didn't look at it, saying, "Brother Xin Wang and Shangshu Fu are here, so you can tell me briefly."

When Zhu Youjian listened to Zhu Xu's words, he felt a bad premonition and was alert.

King Jing said: "It is the emperor. Our dynasty has gradually been abolished after Taizu. During the reign of Taizu and Chengzu, any more than a certain amount of land had to be paid, but then it gradually became abolished. Many people with a large amount of land evade taxes, avoid taxes, and even resist taxes, so that they did not pay taxes. The court lost tens of millions of stones every year! There are also commercial taxes, which are reduced again and again, 15 taxes, 12 taxes, 12 taxes, and even 13 taxes, and after Wanli, it was even more useless..."

Sure enough, Zhu Youjian's heart was beating again and again. In short, King Jing's words were the court that was going to impose taxes on those big households!

From the lockdown of the cabinet, the reclaiming of the royal family's land, and the abolition of a series of pillars of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor now extended his hand to the last base of the landlord and wealthy family of the Ming Dynasty!

How did the Ming Dynasty rely on to stabilize the world? Did it rely on the army? Or did it rely on civil and military officials?

None of them, but wealthy landlords all over the world rely on them to rule the world! If they attack them, it would be digging graves and digging graves for the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youjian instinctively had to object, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a way!

King Jing said things in and out of the way, and Chengzu talked about things. Could he have opposed the family rules of his ancestors?

Zhu Youjian frowned tightly, his face changed. He had to stop Zhu Xu. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos!

Fu Changzong glanced at Zhu Youjian with a calm expression.

This was the solution he thought of. Now that the court has not completed its reform of local government affairs, the south is not peaceful, and there is also a Shaanxi/Xiang who has never dared to move lightly, and the land of Zhangzhang has not been able to be achieved. Using the excuse of "ancestral system", we can make up for some deficits for the court first and make some tests at the same time.

Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others did not speak out. They were responsible for their ability. As military generals, they could not interfere in government affairs at will.

King Jing's words continued: "My Ming Dynasty grain tax, and it is already a big deal to collect a dou of a mu. Especially for middle fields, when going down to the fields, it is often hard for a year, and the family barely fills their stomachs. This is not a disaster. Various corvee labor services are believed to be differentiated from tax collection..."

"The disaster in the northwest has worsened and the court is overwhelmed. The Ministry of Revenue's grain and silver are often sold out in the middle of the year. In time, it will inevitably lead to a disaster..."

"I discussed with the Ministry of Revenue Fu Shangshu. Every summer and autumn grain, the imperial court will purchase it with 10% higher than the market price to fill the national treasury. Officials at all levels will no longer issue grain. The Ministry of Revenue will open an account at Huitong Trading Bank to pay special salaries to officials..."

Zhu Youjian's face was darker and darker, and his eyebrows were sluggishly heard from King Jing's words that the court or the emperor seemed to intend to collect taxes from the rich and subsidize farmers. In addition to the past reports of clearing the land of Zhangzhang, he gradually understood a little.

Zhu Xu wanted to curb land annexation and distribute the benefits to farmers!

He did not oppose reducing taxes to farmers, nor did he oppose appropriately increasing commercial taxes. But if he forcibly collects taxes from wealthy families, this is what he would never agree to to find the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

Although King Jing said it simply, he was dry and had a long time to say it.
Chapter completed!
