Chapter 520
The meaning of Zhu Youjian's words was unclear, and several people did not dare to speak casually.

As His Majesty's confidantes, they don't say they have any assets, but they will definitely not acquire tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, such as looking for death on the face of it.So even if they handed over all the crops from the fields, they still lived in style.

But the question is, this move is equivalent to grabbing food from the landlord class, are they willing?

"Your Majesty, if this policy is implemented, I am afraid that the government and the public will be in trouble again for a while. After all, the previous sharing of land was only implemented for a few years, so there must be a process, right?" Bi Ziyan said a little helplessly.

In charge of Daming's money bag, he is extremely eager to get all the money of the world's local tyrants, but everything has two sides.The steps are too big, it's really easy to pull the egg, isn't it!
"Bi Qing means to put it aside first?" Zhu Youjian frowned, he didn't like this very much.

"This policy can indeed fill the national treasury to a great extent, and the backlash it can cause cannot be underestimated. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."

"Your Majesty, please learn from me."

This time, the caliber of several cabinet ministers was surprisingly consistent.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng felt very desperate.

It's over now, and sooner or later this matter will spread.Not to mention the impossibility of step-level taxation, even the graves of the ancestors cannot be kept.

"Okay, you go back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The few inside retreated, leaving Li Zicheng standing there alone, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Li Qing is disappointed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I dare not."

"Don't worry, this matter will definitely be implemented, but not now. It involves a lot at this time, and I will take it to heart."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this point, Li Zicheng didn't insist anymore.

Zhu Youjian let him out of the palace because he chatted about some tax affairs.

As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. On the second day, Li Zicheng's suggestion of stepping up taxation spread throughout the capital.

Then, Jingli began to have a rumor.

"Did you hear that? His Majesty is going to attack those who have more land. The more land, the more taxes will be collected. If your family has tens of thousands of acres of land, the taxes alone will kill you."

"Really or not, what will happen to my two acres of land?"

"Only those with more than [-] acres will be taxed. Your two acres of land is nothing!"

"That's good, that's good. My family finally had enough food to eat after all the food was sold to the mu. In the past two years, I have saved a little by going to the construction site. Fortunately, it has nothing to do with us, otherwise life would be difficult." It’s better. But from now on, those landlords will be in bad luck.”

"What you guys said about having a nose and eyes, is it true or not?"

"Is this a lie? I heard that a king from Tongzhou is selling land for eight taels of silver per acre!"

"That's not cheap either."

"Nonsense, I wouldn't even sell it in the past."

"Does that mean this is true?"

"I guess it can't be fake."

"You guys chat, I'll go home first." Liu San, who has two acres of land at home, quickly ran back home and locked the door silently.

"Master, why are you so anxious in broad daylight? The child is still outside."

Liu Wang, who was sitting on the bed with the soles of her shoes on, stared blankly at Liu San locking the door, as if thinking of something, she stumbled a bit.

Liu San quickly came to the bed, without even looking at the shy Liu Wang, he lifted off the quilt, took out two small cloth bags from the two cracks of the bed board, and squatted on the ground silently for a few days. up.

"What the hell are you crazy about? Why are you counting money here in broad daylight?" The sentimental Liu Wang was not happy and tried to pull Liu San away, but was frightened back by Liu San's glare.

One coin, two coins.
Sixty-two eight dollars, still one or two dollars short.

Liu San scratched his head in distress and sighed.

"Master, what's going on? Has something happened? Don't scare me. I've been married to you for so many years, and only these two years have been easy. If something happens to you again, I won't survive. I."

Liu Wangshi was obviously frightened by Liu San's actions, and began to wipe away tears while talking.

"Stop crying. Nothing's wrong with me."

"Then why are you counting money!?"

"Buy land!"

"Buy land? Not to mention whether this money is enough, but if it is enough, who is willing to sell it to you?"

"Our Wang Yuanwai in Tongzhou City is selling land for eighty taels of silver per acre."

"Boss, have you been cheated? This world is getting better and better, who would want to sell the land?"

"You don't understand this. Today I am going to the city to look for work. Listen to Wang Si and the others." Liu San lowered his voice and looked out the window, as if he was afraid that others would hear this secret news.

"Really?"

"I guess it's true. I plan to take the money and go outside the city to find out. If it's true, I'll buy it for him! In this way, we will have three acres of land! In a few years, I will save some money and make some land. With more than ten acres of land, our son will not have to worry about getting a wife in the future."

"Okay, go and have a look. Huh? Don't you have enough money? Do you want me to go back to my parents' house and borrow some?"

"Your dad has never had anything to lose. Are you willing to borrow it?"

"If you don't lend it to me, I'll hang myself!"

"Good woman!"

Liu San hugged Liu Wang's face and kissed her fiercely.

Liu Wang's natal family didn't want it, so they lived in the next village.It didn't take an hour to go back and forth.

With a proud smile on his face, Mrs. Liu handed a cloth bag to Liu San.

"Here, two taels!"

"Ah? Why are there more?"

"Be prepared for any trouble~ Maybe someone will rob you?"

"That makes sense! Then I'll go!"

"Go ahead, be careful on the road."

"okay!"

Liu San walked towards Tongzhou City with a dream in mind.

An hour later, Liu San arrived outside the city. At noon, there were quite a few people entering the city.

Liu San followed the crowd into the city and sat down at a tea stall.

He had heard it said in books in the capital that places like tea stalls are the most suitable places to inquire about news because there are many people coming and going.

"Little brother, serve a bowl of tea."

"okay."

After a while, a large bowl of tea was brought up, and the servant stood aside quietly waiting for him to pay.

"Little brother, why are there so many people in the city today? But what happened?" Liu San put two coins in the boy's hand and asked without leaving a trace.

The boy took the money, was stunned for a moment, then looked Liu San up and down.

"You bought the land?"

Ok?
Liu San was stunned, did I write on my face?I can't write either.

"how do you know?"

"I can't count the number of guests like this on my hands this morning. Let's go back after drinking tea. The land has been sold out long ago."

"What's going on?" Before Liu San could speak, the person sitting next to him interrupted and asked.

"What's going on? You know how to bargain, but others don't? It's only a little over 100 acres of land, how many people can share it? This happened yesterday, and you just came today." The boy sneered.

"So, the matter of Wang Yuan's food delivery place is true. Your Majesty is really going to implement the staircase tax?" Another person at the stall asked.

"Why are stairs taxed? Can your stairs be taxed? It's a staircase tax!" The boy shook his head disdainfully and went to the side to get busy.

A few tea drinkers were left talking about it.

"Alas! I got the news yesterday, but I didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, I could also get a bargain!"

"Pull him down, it may not be your turn when he comes."

"At least I came earlier than you"

"It's useless to come here."

"How do you speak? Which village are you from?"

"Okay, stop arguing. Everyone is in a bad mood, so please stop talking." Seeing that the two of them were about to choke, an older man tried to persuade them. “I don’t know if there are many gentlemen in other places selling it.”

Ok?
Liu San was shocked when he heard these words, and his frustrated mood immediately became better.

That's right, since Wang Yuan sells land, it means that the tax thing is true.

If the tax thing is true, then there must be many people selling land, and they still worry about not being able to grab it?

Thinking of this, Liu San stopped drinking tea, stood up and ran home.

For the next two days, he got out of bed every day before dawn.As soon as the city gates opened, they entered the capital, where there were many people, they gathered together, trying to find out some information about the land sale.

On the night Liu San went to Tongzhou, Zhu Youjian called Tian Ergeng into the palace and ordered him to use the hidden piles around the capital to sell the land three days later.

Sell ​​land?

Tian Ergeng was puzzled, but carried out his order mindlessly.

After that, Zhu Youjian called several cabinet ministers, told them his thoughts, and warned them.No matter who asks them for news, it is just one sentence.have no idea!

Dare to say one more thing, I will go home with all my bedding.

After leaving the palace, several people looked at each other and smiled wryly.

His Majesty started cheating again.

During these three days, Li Zicheng entered the palace more often, at least twice a day, and stayed for a long time each time, and rejected all the servants except Wang Chengen.

An unusual aura began to float out from the Forbidden City.
