Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 99 Everyone knows that everyone does not speak, only the master speaks the truth!

Settle down Zhao Tiejun

Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao also looked at each other in blank dismay.

In this situation, even the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.

This is also a loss, Zhang Haogu never hides the real situation of his family.

My father really brought the spirit of the landlord to the extreme.

Greedy, really fucking greedy.

It's completely unscrupulous.

Fortunately, Zhang Haogu often used himself as an example in front of Zhu Youxiao, saying how his family evaded taxes, which somewhat gave Emperor Dog a solid idea.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to handle!
At least, there will be rifts between their monarchs and ministers.

County government tea room
Both of them were silently drinking tea, and Zhu Youxiao said abruptly, "This Zhao Tiejun is very useful!"

"He's just the right age, so it's fine if he's training soldiers!" Zhang Haogu also took a sip of tea.

silence!

After a while, Zhu Youxiao said: "Master, I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart!"

"Sir, it's the same!"

Zhang Haogu said: "I never thought that when I become an official, the old father in the family is so impatient and greedy!"

"Master thinks, what are the disadvantages?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, princes, counties, princes, and royal families have spread all over the world. According to the regulations, a prince has to donate [-] shi, [-] banknotes, [-] pieces of brocade, and [-] pieces of silk every year. Five hundred bolts of silk, one thousand bolts of gauze, one thousand bolts of winter cloth, and one thousand bolts of summer cloth."

"In addition, during the Wanli period, the first emperor once granted 2 hectares of land to his younger brother, King Lu, and [-] hectares of land to King Fu. King Fu's fief is located in Henan, but the fertile land in Henan has been encircled, and it is still not enough. King Fu Then I went to Huguang and Shandong to enclose the best fertile land.”

"The land occupied by the vassal kings is as many as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of hectares. They rent out large tracts of land to obtain rich rent income. The farms annexed by the royal family, eunuchs in the palace, and officials at all levels account for the most in the world. Half of them don't pay taxes, and the common people have less than half of the world's land to cultivate, but they have to pay the world's taxes!"

Zhu Youxiao fell into silence.

He never seriously considered these before, but now, he suddenly discovered that the people of Ming Dynasty really lived the most miserable life.

Zhang Haogu said again: "The minister also looked at the files of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Huangzhuang in the hands of the emperor also has nearly 80 hectares of land. Basically, all the money went into the emperor's internal funds. Then, the emperor built the palace. I don’t know how much money was spent on wars, but it’s not uncommon for people to make false reports and deceive the emperor!”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "I, I want to know what national policy Master has?"

"The minister has already said that the gentry pays for the mu, and the gentry pays for the food!" Zhang Haogu said slowly.

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said unhurriedly: "The first step is to let the officials report their property honestly. In this way, the emperor will control the wealth in their hands. In this way, Then you can prescribe the right medicine!"

"If you don't take the initiative to report your own land and wealth, you will be punished as a crime of corruption. This one is also a deterrent to all officials!"

"second!"

Zhang Haogu continued: "The stalls are divided into acres. The minister also said in the cabinet that the more land there is, the more taxes need to be paid. It is similar to the case of the minister's family. The emperor is not polite and directly charges him 90.00 % tax, so the more land there is, the higher the cost they need to pay, and they will naturally have to sell the land in their hands!"

"However, this is not enough. The emperor should train more Datong students, and even set up Datong academies all over the country to train more Datong students. Let them stare at, for example, the minister's house. If the land is hidden, The emperor may not notice it, and the ministers may not notice it, but the local people must know!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Master, keep talking!"

"The third, of course, is that the gentry should work as one, abolishing the privileges of the gentry!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu paused, and continued: "Your Majesty, the vassal kings are the same, vassal kings, meritorious deeds are all like this, they hold the land in their hands, do not pay taxes, do not pay food as errands, but have to work hard for the people , what is the reason for this?"

Holding the teacup, Zhu Youxiao carefully chewed every word Zhang Haogu said.

Basically, Zhang Haogu explained all the problems of Daming.

Zhu Youxiao also found out that he really couldn't refute it. The problem was here, and he couldn't refute it at all.

The court's confidants are in serious trouble in Liaodong?in Mongolia.

It's not there, it's inside.

King!

Zhu Youxiao sighed, and said, "Master, if I don't ask you, when are you going to tell me about such a national policy?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Probably we have to wait for the alternate officials to clarify the showdown, and the officials at all levels will report all their family properties. In this way, it will come to fruition. It's just that the emperor asked about it today, and the minister said it!"

Don't say it, it's because I'm worried that Zhu Youxiao will be passionate for 3 minutes.

It has to be thrown out little by little.

However, when Zhu Youxiao asked, Zhang Haogu couldn't hold back anymore.

"Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small dish!"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It's like the allocation of land into acres. First, people with more land pay more land taxes. The next step is to have meritorious reputation. The next step is to be officials, and then meritorious service. Step by step, I am also worried that I have said too much, and the emperor can't accept it for a while, or the emperor is too hasty, and if I am not careful, the world will be shaken!"

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. What the master said makes sense, makes sense!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "I'm not in a hurry, just wait!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "The world's long-standing evils cannot be solved overnight. The emperor is determined and patient. This is the blessing of the country and the world!"

Zhu Youxiao restrained his expression: "Master, I want to thank you, and only you will tell me these things. Everyone knows these things, and everyone keeps silent. I seem to be a blind person!"

"emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said: "When it's time for the stalls to enter the mu, please start with the emperor himself!"

"No!"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, and then slowly said: "Everything starts from me!"

Having said all this, Zhang Haogu basically knew Zhu Youxiao's attitude. At that moment, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do!"

"Say it!" Zhu Youxiao said.

"The emperor has Huangzhuang with nearly 800 hectares of land, nearly [-] million mu of land. Does the emperor want to visit his own Huangzhuang?" Zhang Haogu asked.

"Zhen, go to your own Huangzhuang?"
