I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 258 Big stick and sweet dates!We must reform the land tax!
The king of Qi surrendered.

But it was naturally impossible for Zhu Yunzhen to simply let King Qi expose the matter with just one sentence.

Zhu Yunzhen's face suddenly showed a sad look.

Full of disappointment.

Anyone who reads it will have to say that His Royal Highness values ​​love and righteousness!
He obviously trusted King Qi so much, yet King Qi did such absurdly stupid things!

I really betrayed my grandson’s trust...

But in fact... Both Zhu Yunxi and King Qi knew that this was just a chess game deliberately set up.

Used for wrestling between the two sides.

Only now, King Qi lost!
"Sigh... Uncle Qi, if I say I don't blame you, I don't blame you."

"It's just that for such a big matter, you still need to explain it clearly to the officials and the people of Ming Dynasty."

"After all...this Ming Dynasty is not a lonely one."

"Please tell the whole story and publish it in the People's Daily tomorrow to make it clear to the people all over the world."

"As for the blame, if you want to blame it, let's blame it on Gu Gu!"

Zhu Yunxi said in grief.

And King Qi, who was below, couldn't help but tremble all over after hearing Zhu Yunxi's words.

Staring at Zhu Yunzhen.

Published in People's Daily?

This is to ruin his reputation!As long as this matter is published in the daily newspaper, his reputation as King Qi will go from bad to worse!

A huge fall!
Can no longer recover!
And once he loses the support of the people... even if he defeats Zhu Yunxuan in the future, it is impossible for Lao Zhu to consider making him the crown prince!

As for culpability?

After reading the daily newspaper, the common people would not only say that Zhu Yunxi was covering up relatives.

Instead, praise him!

What's the use of a trivial punishment? !
Such a vicious plan... King Qi was already convinced, but at this moment he couldn't help the resentment in his heart.

There was a hint of malice in his eyes.

But Zhu Yunxi looked at the resentment in King Qi's eyes, but he didn't care at all in his heart.

From the very beginning, King Qi has been in his urn!
Let King Zhu Di of Jin serve as the Zongren Mansion's Zong Ling, instruct Yang Shiqi to pay close attention to the matter of redeeming the land, and then arrange for King Zhu Di of Yan to collect evidence and challenge King Qi.

Everything is in his plan.

From the beginning to the end, King Qi was not his opponent, just a pawn to be beaten, and a bait to draw out a group of corrupt officials!

"Uncle Qi, tell me, please?" Zhu Yunxuan reminded him calmly.

King Qi looked at Zhu Yunxi above.

There was a burst of powerlessness in my heart.

As early as he admitted it, King Qi's psychological defense had collapsed.

At this time, being led by the nose by Zhu Yunxi was quite normal.

I can only tell everything about what I have done.

Including the officials he contacted and how they colluded, he told them in detail one by one.

King Qi will not forget it.

Zong Renfu Zong Ling Zhu Xi is looking at him.

If he didn't explain everything, he might have to go to the clan mansion!

And after entering the clan mansion...he didn't even know if he would have a chance to come out again...

"It's really a wildfire that can't burn out, and it's born again when the spring breeze blows!"

"Such a corrupt official will be killed and exterminated endlessly!"

Zhu Yunzhen slammed the chair and stood up.

He scolded: "Bring these people to justice! Hand them over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial!"

"Not one can be let go!"

Below, the officials and officials looked at Zhu Yunxi who was furious, and couldn't help shivering.

Afraid of having anything to do with myself.

And those officials who had something to do with this matter had already fallen to the ground, sweating profusely!

He kept praying in his heart that Zhu Yunxi would let him go.

But all that awaits them is Jin Yiwei's cold chains!
"Look, folks."

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the officials who were taken away.

He said: "Which of these people is not the pillar of our Ming Dynasty?"

"But it's just for self-interest! I couldn't control the greed in my heart! And I ruined the lives of myself and their family members!"

"I hope you will think more about my Ming law when you act in the future."

"Think about the consequences! Pick up your own conscience!"

"And don't you all think that everything will be fine if they are taken away, and they can be alone."

"Could it be that everyone present is really that clean?"

Inside Fengtian Temple.

There was a moment of silence, and a needle could be heard.

Everyone dared not take a breath.

They looked at Zhu Yunzhen above with fear. They did not expect that although their grandson looked small, he was so powerful in his actions!
And when it comes to cleaning up corrupt officials, they are exactly the same as Lao Zhu!
Extremely lethal!
Immediately, all the relaxation in the hearts of the ministers and officials that had arisen after Lao Zhu left and was replaced by Zhu Yunzhen to supervise the country disappeared.

His Highness Taisun... is not necessarily easier to serve than Lao Zhu!

This thought came to everyone's mind at the same time...

"The ministers will follow the instruction of His Majesty the Grandson, will obey the law and obey the law, and have a heart for Daming!"

In silence.

Yang Shiqi suddenly stood up.

expressed his attitude.

Afterwards, the ministers realized what they were doing and expressed their loyalty to Zhu Yunxu one after another.

Zhu Yunzhen's 'expression' looks good now.

But in fact, he has always been in a good mood. After all, corrupt officials will always be killed. This is an eternal truth.

Naturally, Zhu Yunzhen would not be angry because of this.

But as a ruler, he must send an obvious signal to the people below: he doesn't like corrupt officials!
In this way, people below will have some scruples when doing things.

Don't dare to act recklessly.

This is the art of leadership... So sometimes, leaders express their likes and dislikes with their own political goals.

As for what it is specifically, it depends on how the subordinates figure it out.

It gave everyone a head-on blow.

Zhu Yunxi began to distribute a sweet date to everyone again.

"Uncle Qi, although you have made a big mistake, you also have problems."

Zhu Yunxi blamed himself and said: "This time, the loss of the common people will be borne by Gu himself and compensated."

"But Uncle Qi, you made a big mistake after all."

"Just reflect on it in the mansion for three months, and then help me deal with other matters in the future."

Zhu Yunzhen fulfilled his promise and did not give any real punishment to King Qi.

King Qi couldn't help but feel relieved.

But what followed was a burst of anger, Zhu Yunxi took it lightly, and gently exposed the matter.

Doesn't this mean that in his mind, he is no trouble at all?
Thinking of this, King Qi couldn't help clenching his fists, and hated Zhu Yunxi even more!

Zhu Yunxuan naturally saw King Qi's movements. Looking down from above, everyone's movements could not escape his eyes.

But Zhu Yunzhen did not expose it.

King Qi was right, he just didn't take King Qi seriously!

After confirming the disposition of King Qi, Zhu Yunxi dealt with other vassals.

"Fifth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Twelfth Uncle, the three of you will return the money to the treasury. If it is not enough, you will work for the court to pay it back."

"Uncle Wu has always loved medical skills, and I happen to be planning to compile a new volume of medical skills, so I'm here to help."

"Uncle Twelve is so talented that he took over the duties of Uncle Seven and took full charge of the construction of national highways. I want to see that every province is connected to at least one national highway before next year!"

"As for Uncle Six, I just have one more thing to do."

"It's up to you to do it."

Zhu Yunzhen arranged one thing for each feudal king to do.

After all, he recalled the vassal princes to the capital, so he couldn't leave them idle, lest they do things secretly and waste their energy on guarding.

It's better to put it under your nose and watch it.

It's also simpler.

And after what happened to King Qi, they must not dare to act as boldly as King Qi.

Unscrupulous!

Taking advantage of his strength just now, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly said the next thing he was going to do.

Unify land tax!

As early as when the Japanese pirates were suppressed and passed by Suzhou Mansion, Zhu Yunxi knew that the land taxes in various parts of Daming were different, especially for the suppression of Suzhou Mansion, so he had such an idea.

But at that time, his foundation was not stable.

Inside, there are Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunxie fighting against him.

So there is no way to let go.

Now that the pattern has been initially determined, it is time to change Da Ming according to his own ideas.

"I plan to unify the land tax across the country and reduce the land tax as much as possible to reduce the burden on the people."

"Although this matter is complicated, you must draw up a charter."

The unification of land tax is not easy.

On the contrary, it is very complicated.

There are too many involved.

But even if it's complicated, do it!
"You have thought a lot about it and written down many feasible suggestions into a memorial and submitted it to the Advisory Office, where I will review them one by one."

There are three major difficulties in unifying the land tax, especially the unification of the land tax in Suzhou Prefecture.

Most of the land in the Suzhou government is official land, and the people not only have to pay the government to rent the land, but also pay taxes, which can be several times or even ten times more than private land!
One of the difficulties is to balance the taxation of official land and private land.

Secondly, among the fields in Suzhou Prefecture, many private fields are tax-free!

Fields that don’t pay taxes at all!

The origin of tax exemption for the gentry in the Ming Dynasty began in the Hongwu Dynasty. As long as the gentry had the fame of the capital, they did not have to pay taxes.

For these tax-free fields, how can the unified field tax be achieved?

Thirdly, Suzhou Prefecture is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has been a prosperous place since ancient times. However, places such as the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi Province are often affected by disasters and have insufficient grain production.

If the Jiangnan and Northwest taxation is unified, it will inevitably increase the injustice between regions.

Therefore, there are many difficulties in unifying taxation.

quite difficult.

But this matter was done anyway and must be resolved.

Land equalization tax is a good thing for both the people and the court.

Ming Dynasty's land taxation cannot continue to be such a mess!
The people of Suzhou Prefecture cannot continue to bear such heavy taxes!
"In addition, I plan to set up a propaganda group, and Uncle Liu will be the director."

"Go to the countryside for the lonely, preach the land tax policy, and let everyone in the world know about it."

This can be considered as a way for King Chu to find trouble.

Anyway, the king of Chu has always been extravagant. Send him to the countryside to exercise and reform. Maybe he will have a different look when he comes back.

Moreover, it is very necessary to go to the countryside to preach.

Zhu Yunxi has done such practical things for the common people, so the common people must know about it, right?
The preaching group preached everywhere in the form of drama, not only to keep the blind and ignorant rural people from being deceived.

It is also able to make the people grateful for what Zhu Yunxi has done.

Consolidate your rule.

So from any perspective, it is a good thing.

But the officials below are a little bit in trouble.

Of course they won't object to the preaching team. After all, this thing has nothing to do with them.

Land taxes can be unified...

"This... Your Highness, the land tax system was formulated by Your Majesty himself..."

"If you want to change it now, should you ask His Majesty's opinion?"

The grandson has just established his prestige, and all the officials dare not directly oppose it.

I only dare to express my opinions in a roundabout way, after all, this matter is quite difficult.

It’s not easy for anyone to handle.

There was nothing the officials could do.

Moreover, land tax is unified. Can the tax on private land be the same as that on official land?Should those fields that were originally tax-free be taxed again?
No matter from which aspect you look at it, it’s a headache!
And when the land tax was first formulated, it was Lao Zhu who made it himself!
Baiguan really didn't want to offend Lao Zhu.

When the time comes, there will be rivers of blood and heads rolling in!

"Don't worry, I will definitely get Grandpa Huang's consent for this matter."

"You just need to take care of it!"

"Don't ask too many questions!"

Zhu Yunxi's attitude was tough, and the officials couldn't say anything more.

I had to nod in agreement.

Prepare to go down and discuss a charter.

But I couldn't help being surprised in my heart, and I respected Zhu Yunxi even more.

Look like this.

Your Majesty really let His Highness Taisun do it!

Today's Ming Dynasty... I'm afraid even Lao Zhu doesn't want to take care of it anymore, and leaves it all to his grandson.

In this way... the grandson is no different from the emperor!
