Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 131 Zhu Yuanzhang: That’s my money!
3000 taels!

However, Zhu Xi left more than 2000 million taels of silver to himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken.

If he had the money, then why should he worry about money anymore?

These are all my money!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt very sad. He gritted his teeth and said: "King Qin, I need you to have a reason, a reason to withhold taxes!"

In fact, Lingnan was Zhu Xi's fiefdom.

Therefore, Zhu Xi could keep part of the tax.

This power was given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention was just to give his children some money to survive.

Things like this don't need to be said explicitly, everyone just tacitly agrees.

How could anyone be like Zhu Xi, who directly took the bulk of the money and gave it to himself?

unacceptable!

Zhu Yuanzhang said he couldn't bear it.

"Father, the taxes withheld by my son are all used for development! Last year, all the taxes from Panyu Prefecture, plus my own money, were used to invest in the construction of Dongguan County, Xin'an County and Huizhou Prefecture. ”

Zhu Fang said: "Actually, this is a chicken-and-egg principle! Please tell me, father, if it were not for the taxes left by the ministers last year, Dongguan County, Xin'an County and Huizhou Prefecture would not have enough funds to build, so this year There won’t be so much tax revenue. To be honest, the entire Lingnan is expected to receive around 8000 million taels of tax revenue this summer!”

These are all true.

It may even be more than 8000 million taels.

What is this concept?

Everyone knows that the Northern Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty in history.

However, the highest annual tax revenue in the Northern Song Dynasty was only 6000 million yuan.

Now Zhucheng is only a land in the south of Lingnan. It has only developed two state capitals, and it can reach half of what it was in the heyday of the Northern Song Dynasty.

You know, in the current Ming Dynasty, it is hard to say whether the total taxes in the country are 800 million taels!
It was originally a period after the war when everything was in ruins.

Coupled with various natural disasters...

Of course, there are also factors such as Zhu Yuanzhang's tricks of printing money, which led to the lack of circulation in the market and the lack of economic prosperity.

As a result, it was difficult for the court to collect taxes.

However, such a situation did not exist at all in Lingnan under Zhu Fang's rule.

One million taels!
Hu Weiyong couldn't help but said: "If this money can be handed over to the imperial court, then the Ming Dynasty's treasury will have no worries for several years!"

"Prime Minister Zuo, 8000 million is the total tax revenue. It is impossible to give that much to the court."

Zhu Ping immediately said: "I was sent to Lingnan and developed from poor mountains and rivers to now. At that time, the court did not give me any support. It is impossible for me to pay all the taxes now. What's more, I will still pay all the taxes in the future. We must develop the entire Lingnan!”

"Then, how much can you give?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the question that worried him most.

"It depends on your mood." Zhu Xi was so willful.

You know, he is facing Zhu Yuanzhang!
The number one killer in the Ming Dynasty!

But Zhu Xi was not afraid.

Tiger poison doesn't eat children!
Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill him.

What's more, Zhu Xi still has someone to rely on.

The whole of Lingnan is his support!

Because only he can control those high-tech.

Only he can continue to develop.

Others don't understand this truth, but Zhu Yuanzhang understands it best.All officials were speechless.

Veterans like Li Shanchang and Tang He all looked at each other and then fell silent.

However, they were all suppressing laughter.

I finally understand why the emperor has been particularly favoring King Qin since last year.

He even allowed King Qin to bring guards with weapons into the palace during the emperor's birthday banquet...

It turns out that this King of Qin is completely different from what he was back then.

King Qin is rich!
That is the wealth of a country that is so rich!

Think about it, the King of Qin previously announced a subsidy plan of tens of millions of taels of silver, and as he said, tens of millions of gold and silver were invested in developing the place... Can you imagine how much wealth the King of Qin actually has now?
"I want at least 1000 million!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Father, I said, it depends on your mood."

Zhu Fang did not take on Zhu Yuanzhang at all.

The money belongs to him, and it is his duty to give it, but how much he gives depends on his affection.

At this time, Wanmin Umbrella was also invited over.

Even the old patriarch of the Luo family personally escorted him over and paid homage to the emperor.

With the Wanmin Umbrella as evidence, everyone is convinced now.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to the old patriarch of the Luo family: "I am very pleased that your Luo family has a talented person. This person will definitely be important to me in the future."

When the old patriarch of the Luo family heard this, he quickly bowed down, shed tears of gratitude, and then resigned.

"Father, can the crime of buying and selling official positions be eliminated?" Zhu Xi asked.

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "It depends on my mood!"

Use his own way to repay him with his own body!

Zhu Xi was speechless.

You are not Murong Fu, why are you pretending?

Zhu Chong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not let go and was just waiting to ask for money.

He was not in a hurry and continued: "The next thing is about immorality. I don't understand it. I would like to ask Prime Minister Zuo to tell me clearly where I am immoral."

"Your Highness allows women to work, regardless of the differences between men and women. Isn't it immoral?" Hu Weiyong asked rhetorically.

"It turned out to be this..."

Zhu Xi laughed and said: "This matter has already been resolved at the debate in Huizhou Mansion that day. Now, Prime Minister Zuo wants to argue again, so I can also argue with Prime Minister Zuo! May I ask, Prime Minister Zuo, Women are also human beings and can build places and countries. How can this be immoral?"

"There are differences between men and women. It is taboo for Your Highness to allow men and women to work together. I have heard that in the land of Lingnan, there are many people who live in harmony... As the old saying goes, a good girl will not marry two husbands!" Hu Weiyong really and Zhu Cang started to argue.

"Husband and wife reconciliation, this is allowed by the law of the Ming Dynasty. Is it only in the south of the Lingnan that there are husband and wife reconciliation?"

Zhu Xi asked rhetorically.

Hu Weiyong was speechless.

Then Zhu Ping said: "First of all, in Lingnan, couples are prohibited from being unfaithful and having random hookups outside. Anyone who violates this is a crime. However, if a couple is not unfaithful and wants to reconcile, they should be supported. This is human nature." It is normal. Then the second point is that men and women are certainly different, so in any factory in Lingnan, men and women are separated, so how can it be said to be immoral? Finally, I want you to see the result, and this result is that Lingnan In this land, everyone abides by the law and knows etiquette, and they all live a prosperous life. In my opinion, this is enough!"

Hu Weiyong was speechless.

no way.

This was originally a debate where the public said the public was right and the mother said the mother-in-law was right, and Zhu Xi was obviously not the kind of person who abided by the etiquette of the ancients. If he wanted to argue with Zhu Xi about this, the argument would definitely be unclear.

So Hu Weiyong had no choice but to deflect the fire and asked: "Then King Qin, can you explain your extravagance?"

Change the crime?
Zhu Xi smiled.
