Chapter 62 How Do You Feel That They Are the Third Brother
Hearing the old man's question, Zhu Zhanji knew in his heart that it should be related to the reform of the tax system he proposed and the implementation of sharing the taxation into the mu, but he said: "The old man has one thought for a while, how do I know."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't know, Zhu Gaochi could only sigh helplessly, got up and walked towards the palace with that Eunuch Zhao.

After his father Zhu Gaochi left, his second uncle and third uncle also left together.

In a silver vault in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Zhanji leaned against the door slowly, and looked into the house through the door and window.

I saw that Zhu Zhanyong in that room was counting the silver with all his strength, and the expression of joy could not be restrained on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly and smiled. It is not easy for a person who has a special hobby for yellow and white things to appear in this royal family.

Then, Zhu Zhanji pushed the door open and entered.

The sound of the wooden door being pushed open immediately startled Zhu Zhanyong inside. Looking at his appearance, Zhu Zhanji laughed amusedly and said, "Count yours honestly, no one will steal your money."

Seeing that it was his elder brother, Zhu Zhanyong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I can't see it, are you still quite capable? This night's effort directly brought in 100,000 yuan. taels silver."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji sat on the box beside him, and said casually, "I'll figure out a solution for the money, but I must not delay the things I told you, especially the things about the children in the academy."

While counting the money in the box, Zhu Zhanyong said: "Don't worry, brother, the children you let me adopt are now hundreds, and there are more than [-] children who have reached the high school level. They are all arranged properly, there will be no problems, even if I have no money, I will not be poor for these children."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji stretched his tired waist and shoulders, and nodded.

My younger brother looks unreliable on the surface, but he is trustworthy when it comes to business.

The imperial palace, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di walked back and forth in the hall alone with his hands behind his back, his solemn expression seemed to be thinking about something important.

Beside him, the great scholars in the cabinet and the six ministers were standing aside, looking at the dignified expression on their emperor's face, they were all worried.

Most of them were promoted little by little, and they had been with the emperor for some time, but no matter how big things happened, the old emperor had never been so restless as he is today.

I couldn't even sit still anymore, and walked back and forth in this hall to relieve the worries in my heart.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, trying to see something from the eyes of these colleagues around them.

After all, all the people present are important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and almost all major events of the Ming Dynasty will pass through the hands of those present.

But after looking at each other for a long time, they found that the faces of the people present were the same as their own, they were all confused and dazed.

This couldn't help but make them more confused.

What happened in the end, even the six ministers, all the cabinet scholars don't know.

While everyone was waiting in doubt, Zhu Gaochi, who was fat, finally came from the prince's mansion.

The moment he entered the hall, Zhu Gaochi immediately noticed the many adults present and stood there in a daze.

What happened, the old man actually called all these people here.

On weekdays, when there is some big event, at most it is to call the people in the cabinet to discuss the matter, but today is lucky, even six ministers have come.

It can be seen that what the old man will say later must not be simple.

Thinking of this, Prince Zhu Gaochi calmed down and walked over slowly.

"emperor."

Zhu Di, who was walking in the hall, was concentrating on thinking, and he didn't even notice the arrival of the prince Zhu Gaochi, and he was stunned when he heard the voice at first.

Then he waved to the prince Zhu Gaochi and said, "The prince is here too."

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone present and saw that those who should have arrived and those who should not have arrived, Zhu Di then slowly came to sit in front of his dragon chair.

After regaining consciousness, he said to the many ministers standing in front of him: "Everyone, what do you think of the tax system implemented by our dynasty?"

As he spoke, he waved to Zhao Quan at the door and ordered people to give seats to everyone present.

After Zhu Di finished asking the question, everyone present was a little puzzled, not understanding how the old emperor suddenly asked this question so well.

However, all the people present were old foxes who had been in the officialdom for countless years. They didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Before they knew the old emperor's intentions, they all shut up and only showed a state of hard thinking.

When everyone was silent under Zhu Di's gaze, Zhao Quan, who had left, brought his eunuchs and walked over with chairs.

After everyone sat down, seeing that no one answered the old man's question, Zhu Gaochi, the prince, had to take the lead in opening up the conversation for everyone, and said: "Your Majesty, the tax system of our dynasty has been extended from the previous dynasty, even in the Tang and Song Dynasties. As for how to look at it, I really don't quite understand what the emperor means."

Prince Zhu Gaochi felt relieved when he saw that the old man was not looking for him because of family matters, and he was even more serious when he talked about serious matters, and he didn't see the stuttering and flustered appearance again.

Listening to his son's words, Zhu Di also understood that the question he just asked was too broad. After reaching out his hand to signal him to be calm, he continued, "What I mean is, can you notice the drawbacks of my tax system?"

Hearing Zhu Di's question again, everyone looked at the Hubu Shangshu, Xia Yuanji in unison this time.

This issue is related to the Ministry of Accounting, and Xia Yuanji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, the Daming God of Wealth, naturally has the most say in this aspect.

After noticing the gazes of the crowd, Xia Yuanji did not panic. Instead, he pondered for a moment with a serious expression on his face, and finally said without haste: "Return to Your Majesty, the tax system implemented by our dynasty is based on the number of people in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to talk about the disadvantages of the respective collections, there are naturally many discussions about the use of them in the past dynasties. If you want to let the humble ministers talk about it, there are three disadvantages."

"First, there are too many types of tax collection, such as corvee service, tax grain, tax cloth, etc., and the court needs to pay a huge price in collection, collection, storage, and transportation, which indirectly consumes the value of these taxes themselves. "

"Secondly, the collection of taxes is raised by the local government itself, which is not conducive to management for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imperial court, and it is very difficult to supervise."

"The third."

Listening to Xia Yuanji's continuous narration, Zhu Di who was sitting on the main seat suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his words.

"Needless to say these superficial things, your household department will give me such a book every year. I don't want to hear these, so you can just tell me that my Ming Dynasty can persist for a few more years under such a tax system. Destroy the country!"
