Nanming: I can build wonders

Zhu Kezang doesn't know how much he can remember, but it doesn't matter, he will continue to instill advanced concepts of governing the country in Zhu Yiming when he has the opportunity, and strive to make Zhu Yiming a qualified prince when he retires.

"You can't digest too much, let's continue playing chess!"

Just like that, the two sides started fighting again on the chessboard. Just as the fighting was in full swing, the guiding eunuch hurriedly stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came to Zhu Kezang, and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li asked to see him. He said he has something important to report to you!"

"Well, let him in!"

Zhu Kezang nodded, and gave instructions to the guiding eunuch.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the guiding eunuch responded, he left the imperial garden without looking back.

After a while, I saw the old eunuch Li stepping into the imperial garden, anxiously and respectfully handing the Memorial of the Senate to Zhu Kezang.

"Report to Your Majesty, here are the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food formulated by the Senate!"

After hearing what he said, Zhu Kezang couldn't help being a little surprised: "Hey, the Senate has formulated the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food so quickly?"

Zhu Kezang's voice fell, and the perceptive prince Zhu Yiming took the memorial from Lao Li's hand and handed it to his father.

"Let me see how well they are doing in the Senate!"

Zhu Kezang was very interested. When he just told the prince about gentry and land, he happened to show him his own experience.

Zhu Kezang took the memorial from the prince's hand and began to read the contents above.

"Oh, not bad, they basically understood my instructions!"

After Zhu Kezang finished speaking, he pointed to the first regulation written on the memorial: "Officials and landlords must pay taxes. Minger, come and see if there is anything wrong with it?"

Isn't this embarrassing children?
At such a young age, it is necessary to think about such profound issues.

But he also knew that his father was training him.

After he has read all the above-mentioned regulations, the old rules are first brought into the gentry.

Isn't it mad that other people's land attached to his family will suddenly be taxed?

"Father, my child feels that the detailed rules for the integration of officials and gentry to pay food are likely to arouse the resistance of the gentry."

"Yeah, if there is trouble at that time, the face of the court will be..."

The old eunuch Li next to him added something, but Zhu Kezang interrupted him impatiently before he finished speaking.

"Don't worry, I just let them take their due responsibilities. Didn't the gentry clamor all day to share your worries, but when it's time to share your worries, they all disappeared!"

"The part of the tax they underpaid, in the end, still has to fall on the common people."

"Ming'er, I am the father of hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. How can there be a father who doesn't love his children?"

"So after thinking about it, I'd better suffer these gentry!"

No matter how hard the gentry was, Zhu Yiming savored this sentence carefully.

"Ming'er, my father will teach you one more thing, you can't always suffer the common people, because the common people will really rebel if they suffer for a long time!"

After Zhu Yiming heard these words, he was thinking, when he becomes emperor, should he suffer from merchants?

The old eunuch Li flattered him directly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Old Li, tell Chen Weiguo to keep an eye on it recently. If there is any trouble, just report it to me directly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

When Mrs. Li listened to this, she immediately turned serious and replied in a deep voice.

Soon, the National Council officially announced the detailed rules for the integration of government and gentry to pay food.

But this time, the shock brought about was much stronger than before.

Because this time it really hurt their core interests
Before, it was not enough to infringe on their interests. However, the latest proposal of the Council of Government and Gentlemen to pay food for both officials and gentry came after them.

It can be said that as soon as this policy was implemented, everyone seemed to feel the aggressive attitude from the emperor.

In a rather quiet and elegant courtyard, more than a dozen officials are gathering together.

If someone recognizes these people, they will be able to find that although these people say that they are located in various yamen of the court and seem to have no connection, but by listening to their accents, they will find that they are from Jiangnan.

Jiangnan has produced a lot of talents since ancient times. Even in the new Ming Dynasty and the new imperial examinations, most of the Jinshi are from Jiangnan.

Those gathered here are only a small part of them.

At this time, the elegant temperament of the Jiangnan officials has long since disappeared, and there is even a bit of ferocity left on their faces.

"Goddamn Yang Ying, he still has me and other scholars in his eyes. He actually wants to destroy the law of the ancestors and collect taxes on the fields under the names of our officials and gentry."

Ah!
Yang Ying, Minister of the Household Department, turned out to be the biggest blamer.

"In all dynasties, scholars have always been favored by the imperial court. Why have they all changed now!"

"I've never heard of people being eliminated in the imperial examination!"

"Now come to pay the officials and gentry again?"

The Jiangnan officials were furious. They were dissatisfied with some of Zhu Kezang's original decisions.

"Your Majesty must have been deceived by the treacherous minister Yang Ying. If this continues, my Great Ming will lose the country!"

"Absurd, gentry paying taxes is an anecdote that has never been heard before!"

Tang Pengnian, the supervisor of the Imperial College, was furious, "What you said is true, we are the ones who are expected by all people in the world, and we must not sit back and watch Yang Ying corrupt the court and mess up our Ming Dynasty!"

Although Guozijian Jiancheng is only a sixth-rank official, he has a great say.

Tang Pengnian was the first Jinshi in Jiangdu Daqiao Town, Yangzhou Prefecture.

His family is also a big family in Jiangdu, with countless lands under his name.

He was a Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty in 1676, and later became an official again in the new Ming Dynasty with his own talent.

Tang Pengnian was also good at poetry, prose and Fu, especially in rhythm and rhythm, so he got mixed up with the position of Supervisor of the Imperial College.

Under the influence of the atmosphere, some hot-headed officials decided to jointly write a letter, imploring the emperor to withdraw his order.

Some of these gentry realized that the emperor wanted to completely abolish the gentry's privilege of not paying taxes. If they backed down, the gentry's good days would come to an end!

"My lords, the business tax incident is still vivid in my memory, and those who opposed Yang Ying at that time were all punished!"

As soon as the words came out, there was silence now.

Compared with my own life, money seems to be less important.

I saw a cold light flashed in Tang Peng's eyes, and I heard him say: "Don't worry, I think there must be not enough people to persuade His Majesty that time, if there are enough people, facing the raging public opinion in the world , I don't believe that His Majesty can really turn a blind eye and watch Yang Ying fight."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Tang Pengnian with some puzzlement.

Tang Peng smiled young and said: "Thousands of scholars from the Ming Dynasty have gathered in the Imperial College, and many of them are talented and famous. If we tell the news and release it, what kind of reaction will they have? "
