After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 446: Great Ming Dynasty 8
Zhu Yuanzhang has always believed that if the law is strict enough, there will be as few people breaking the law in the future as there are people jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

Because everyone knows that after jumping, they will die.

If you know that you will only get a small injury after jumping, a lot of people will jump because they have nothing to fear.

People break the law primarily because the consequences are not daunting enough.

Regarding the punishment in ancient times, the two chatted a few times, and even got into a fight. Qin Yu said that people who made mistakes should be given a chance, but Zhu Yuanzhang stubbornly insisted on his own opinion.

So he has always been a loyal supporter of severe punishment.

The second method used by Emperor Zhu to manage the Jixia Academy was to regularly count the assets of the nine colleges. If the assets exceeded a certain amount, they had to be handed over to the state treasury.The Nine Great Academies would definitely not be willing to hand it over to the national treasury, and there is no benefit in handing it over directly.

So, they used the extra money to engage in free activities.

Improve the reputation and prestige of your own academy.

"Besides, the Jixia Academy has just been established, and has already formed a good atmosphere of incorruptibility and a strong academic atmosphere." The disciple of the Yinyang family said, "Therefore, the nine major wine sacrifices in the Jixia Academy are basically people of high moral character."

"Senior brother, I met a young man just now, he's amazing." Not long after, in the backyard of the Sanhuang Temple, the student from the Yin Yang Academy just now said to another older youth, "The question he asked me just now, I don't know what to say." Almost didn't answer."

"It seems that his knowledge should be very high, like a talent."

"It's pretty satisfactory." Qin Yu said.

"We have known this for a long time." Hangshang said, as a shrewd businessman, his eyesight is clearer than most ordinary people, "It is a good thing to distribute to the people, so let's think of it as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds."

"The emperor distributed the money you earned to the people." Qin Yu said.

"So at the beginning, a sound management system is necessary."

"Is there such a thing?" The senior brother asked curiously.

"Little brother, thank you." The merchant said modestly, but his tone still showed arrogance, "I used to have only a few small merchant ships, but now I have developed into a large merchant fleet."

"I think it's okay." The senior brother said, "Now the nine colleges are working on recruiting talents. Expanding the influence of the colleges and recruiting more talents is the most important part."

And Qin Yu led Lu Daxin, and Lu Dayou walked out of the Three Emperors Temple after wandering around.

"Huh!" The Yin Yang family disciple let out a long sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Such a talent, do you want to introduce him to Master and recruit him to join our Yin Yang Academy?"

Give money to the people, build orphanages...

"What advice do you have, little brother?" Hang Shang asked.

Then the emperor used the heavy taxes collected to engage in policies to benefit the people.

"Because no one can guarantee that the successor will be the same as the first generation of sacrificial wine."

"The person who released the lottery just now said that Xiongtai is the god of wealth, and he will definitely make a lot of money in the next few months." Qin Yu said, "From this point of view, Xiongtai must be a master among merchants."

"Senior brother is right, let's find him first, and then we will evaluate him before we talk about other things."

"Brother, please." Qin Yu said.

Without these channels, he would not be able to pay the people money.

……

"Let's go quickly, don't let him be snatched away by other colleges."

"It's starting to change."

It turned out that Emperor Zhu's money came from here-heavy taxation on profiteering industries.

"Yes." The younger brother recounted what happened just now, and then said, "Although this person is young, he has a very deep understanding of the way to build a country, and the question he asked pointed to the essence."

"I heard from Xiongtai just now that you have been doing business overseas all year round?" Qin Yu said.

"A dozen or so, Champa, Java, Sumatra, Aru, and Mantsika." The merchant said, "The farthest country seems to be called Zufar."

So the two hurried out, but Qin Yu and the other three had disappeared.

Then ignore it and continue to undo the sign for the people behind.

……

"But for some reason, the emperor suddenly changed the maritime policy a few months ago."

"Encourage overseas trade, so we dare to go to sea blatantly."

"Businessmen overseas are the most profitable, and Xiongtai is really a rich and powerful person!" Qin Yu said.

"The emperor has done a good job in this regard, and gave it to the people."

"It's because time has passed that the successors gradually forget their original intentions."

"Yes, my face is on the sea, and the sea breeze blows all the year round." Hang Shang said, "In the past, the emperor strictly prohibited maritime affairs, so we could only go to sea secretly, bring some spices back from overseas, and earn some small money."

"The most unacceptable thing for us is that the hard-earned money of our businessmen falls into the personal pockets of those corrupt officials."

And the crowd was satisfied with Qin Yu's answer, and also felt satisfied, because they couldn't find any faults at all.The disciples of the Yinyang family spoke out about the management method of Jixia Academy openly, and people believed and supported Jixia Academy even more.

Of course, it is not enough to collect heavy business taxes.Bringing gold and silver back from Japan, plundering gold and silver overseas, and earning silver from vassal states were also important sources of income for Ming.

"Yeah, um." Qin Yu nodded, "In many places that have just been established, people can basically uphold their founding purpose from the very beginning."

After Qin Yu, Lu Daxin, and Lu Dayou left the Temple of the Three Emperors, they ran into the businessman who was doing business overseas in front of a booth.

Although merchants pay high taxes, there are still an endless stream of merchants.Because even if they pay 90.00% of taxes, the remaining [-]% are infinitely better than ordinary people.

"So, this little brother, is he still satisfied with the management method of Jixia Academy?" the Yinyang family disciple asked.

"Where, where..." Hangshang said, "Although overseas trade is indeed a profitable business with high profits, it cannot withstand high taxes. It can be said that most of the money we earn is for the court."

"However, forget it if you recommend it to Shizun. Shizun is both the dean and the supervisory censor, so I don't have so much free time to see him. Moreover, Yin Yang Academy has very strict requirements for talents. It must be suitable for learning Yin Yang spells."

"How many overseas countries have you been to, brother?" Qin Yu asked again.

"Have you ever been to Africa?" Qin Yu was shocked, "Do the people there have dark skin and hot weather?"

"Little brother, how do you know?" The merchant was also shocked, "Zufar's customs and customs, the people in Ming Dynasty, know very little. Little brother, are you a colleague?"

When he first talked with him, he felt that Qin Yu might also be a merchant, so he patiently talked with him for so long.

"No, no." Qin Yu repeatedly denied.
