Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 600 The general trend, the people's will

"Who said that the regent must be a regent?" Liu Hongjian was not happy when he heard it.

Dare to be a Laoshizi regent, you have to deal with big and small things, and make yourself tired like Uncle Chongzhen?

If he remembered correctly, Uncle Chongzhen's meaning was very clear back then, as long as he thought something was wrong, he could point it out directly.

In other words, he can manage it if he wants to, and he can ignore it if he doesn't want to.

If he had to come and have a look at everything, Liu Hongjian himself would definitely not agree. Standing above the little emperor, it's good that the old man is still alive.

Once the uncle goes, he will be the target of public criticism. It's better to be a salted fish in Xishan and earn a little money to support his life.

"Also, are you too busy? In matters of business and taxation, there is a cabinet and a head of the household department. How can a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, a minister of the criminal department, and a vice capital censor want to intervene?"

Liu Hongjian knew early on that talking about business taxes was just an excuse for these uncles.

The reason why they all came to pay homage to the mountain gate in a fit of anger and malicious intentions was just to use his hands to get rid of their political enemies.

However, they seem to have miscalculated.

Hehe, the reason why Liu Hongjian got such a holy family is because of the double holy family of father and son, the most important thing is not to form a party!

Moreover, he has repeatedly done important things with Chongzhen and deceived the ministers, offending them all over and over again, making them wish to tear Liu Hongjian apart and spit on him a hundred more times.

When a courtier can offend all his subordinates for you, and can lead troops to fight to defend the country, which emperor with normal IQ would not regard it as a treasure?

This was not because of Liu Hongjian's high awareness, but because he felt that none of those white-bearded grandfathers was easy to mess with, and he was the kind who had to count the money if he was tricked in terms of resourcefulness.

Anyway, he just has a straight temper, the kind who kills the old master with his fists, just doesn't listen to you beep beep, and doesn't work with you.

"My lord's words are wrong! If the cabinet can act, we will naturally not look like we are looking for trouble, but who wants to use a knife on us?" Zhang Tianlu said unhurriedly.

"Oh? How do you say this? Could it be that the cabinet members are engaging in malpractices for personal gain and deliberately making things difficult?" Liu Hongjian asked.

Zhang Tianlu didn't reply when he heard the words, but Wang Yuangu, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up.

"Returning to the prince, the elders in the cabinet will definitely not be so short-sighted, but...their family members and relatives are mostly businessmen...and the merchants are well-informed, and most of them are in collusion with the officials of the DPRK and China.

They learned the news as early as last year, and now they have secretly united, intending to..." Wang Yuangu got up to explain, but he hesitated.

"What do you want?" Liu Hongjian tilted his mouth and sneered in his heart.

"In order to cut off business, force the court to give up or compromise." Wang Yuangu calmed down before telling the truth.

"Hahaha! It's interesting, has the capitalism of our Daming developed so far?" Liu Hongjian laughed.

The merchants united, which was beyond his expectation. If these merchants really broke the boat and united to fight against the imperial court in the form of a strike, maybe there would be trouble.

After all, people from all over the country don't need to buy anything from rice grains to food and clothing.

It's just... Hehe, Liu Hongjian's heart is not disturbed, and he is still a little eager to try.

Xishan Commercial Cooperation has been in place for so long, not only selling glass and yarn, but also basically involved in all stores in major prefectures and counties, which can alleviate some of the hidden worries.

But this is not the most important thing. Over the past two years, Liu Hongjian has raided the homes of civil servants and nobles, but he has not copied the homes of those big merchants in the south.

It must have been a year since he was in his old profession, Liu Hongjian stroked his stubble and thought, these guys should have a very rich family fortune.

It's just that he didn't want to wipe out all the merchants like a mountain xi, but the sprouts sprouted by Daming were hard-won, although they were crushed to death by the three mountains of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucracy.

But at least now, as a guide, he has the responsibility to clean up the obstacles, and at the same time, he is good at training the sprouts so that they can thrive.

"What...capitalism? My lord, you should stand up and benefit the people of the world!" Zhang Tianlu and others couldn't understand what Liu Hongjian was talking about.

And he still can't figure out the young prince in front of him, who obviously has the great power of Gan Gang's arbitrary power, but always seems to be lazy... How is this possible?

If he had come to sit in this seat, he would have rolled up his sleeves and worked hard long ago.

"My subordinate also implores the prince to enter the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, and to finalize the regulations for the collection of commercial taxes as soon as possible. It is best that the prince personally supervise it." Wang Yuangu got up and asked.

It stands to reason that the collection of commercial taxes is a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Zhu Cihong definitely does not want to hand this matter over to their veteran officials, and Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has repeatedly disobeyed him and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Anguo County King.

But Wang Yuangu didn't want this matter to fall into the hands of the young people in the East Palace. These young and energetic guys were too radical. If they really came to power, they would definitely attack them, the veterans.

After all, whose family has no relatives in business, and whose family has not received the filial piety of those big merchants in the south?
Especially those big salt merchants are all families that have been in business for tens of years. No one knows how rich their families are, and their network of relationships is even more intricate. serious.

It's not that he wants to excuse the courtiers. The imperial court has a lot of abuses, which can't be solved quickly by vigorous action. It must be done slowly to achieve the effect of moistening things silently.

And although Liu Hongjian attacked the courtiers many times, but with his conscience, this guy never gave anyone face. Let the young prince take care of this matter, and they, the old courtiers, felt at ease.

"You don't need to say too much, let's go back, please help this king to give you a word.

Whether they have relatives in their family, whether they are in business, or have received heavy gifts from other merchants, the imperial court can forget about it.

Levying business taxes is the general trend and the aspiration of the people. From now on, whoever dares to disobey and obstruct it will be looking for a dead end. "Liu Hongjian got up and said to Wang Yuangu and others.

"Please go back, my lord hasn't eaten yet!" Seeing these people still sitting and refusing to move, Liu Hongjian thought that these uncles wanted to eat, so he said bluntly with a sullen face.

"Your official...resign!" Seeing that Liu Hongjian had issued the order to evict the guests, several people stood up one after another and said bitterly.

It seems that the prince is not at all interested in their surrender, and he is not interested in their disputes, which is really annoying.

If the regent is not a regent, what else can he do?They are also desperate!

The few people had just left the meeting hall, but they saw the chubby supervisor and eunuch Pang Dahai coming up with his whisk...
