People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 318 The idea of ​​the powerful is to sabotage the reform!

After listening to Chen Han's words, the father and son were completely silent.

The two of them can finally be sure of one thing,

That was because Chen Han brought them here to eat hot pot. In fact, that was not what happened at all.

The purpose was to tell them, father and son, that with the construction of cement roads,

It has been used very well in the simplest food for the common people.

People no longer have to endure the pain of not having cheap meat to eat.

Even though Yingtian Mansion is thousands of miles away from Datong Mansion, it is actually very convenient because of the cement road.

The mutton has been shipped from Datong Prefecture, and the freight is not expensive.

It's because the construction of cement roads has greatly reduced freight costs, and fast transportation makes everything look cheap.

Many costs have been reduced, the transportation industry has increased, and commerce has developed.

With so many competing products on the market, vendors have no choice but to innovate continuously in order to maintain the competition they deserve.

Prince Zhu Biao laughed loudly, "You are sophistry, but it is also true.

More importantly, it can lead to changes in people’s lives.

With the addition of delicious lamb bone soup and sesame sauce, this delicious dish is suitable for all ages.

Just like this hot pot, the mutton matures quickly and is extremely delicious in your mouth, without losing the taste of the mutton itself.

Now we fully believe that after the construction of the cement road, it will not only improve the confrontation with the aliens in the north and northwest, but also

After going there, the people tasted an even more unforgettable taste.

Chen Han smiled and said, "This is really not just to beat around the bush. Your Highness, think about it. I told you all these things with empty teeth. They are all good.

I'm just saying you won't believe it,

As for the steam train you mentioned, we haven’t experienced it yet.

In the future, people's lives will be more convenient because of what you have done.

For example, in the same restaurant, there is a restaurant like this Xin Changrong that offers another way of eating that shocks everyone.

Why go around in so many circles? "

Mutton was originally something only the elite would eat, but now it has been added to the menu of ordinary people.

Prince Zhu Biao looked at Chen Han and finally smiled and said: "You boy, you are really a thief in everything you do.

What Chen Han wants is this effect. What he wants is for Zhu Biao and others to see that his so-called reform is not a joke.

It allows all of us to come up with more fresh ingredients,

What's even more valuable is that these muttons have not changed the taste of the delicious food that should be enjoyed by the upper class. Instead, they have become more innovative and joined this new industry.

But now I don’t need to tell you that when you eat these good things,

You should already be able to understand that what I said is right, what do you think? "

But after hearing what you said, I am even more interested now.

You can tell us clearly that now because of the cement pavement you built, everyone can eat more and more conveniently.

If the train you mentioned can really be built, then people's lives will become even more different. "

Let the father and son believe in themselves more firmly.

Although now the father and son actually believe in what Chen Han can do.

But after all, there are still some other voices in the court, so the father and son must once again strengthen their opinions in order to make themselves invincible.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a smart man. He could tell at a glance that the reason why Chen Han called the father and son to this place for dinner was because there were many memorials during this period talking about Chen Han's reforms.

In particular, many officials were dissatisfied with the examination law and the gentry's unified payment of food. Especially for the officials in the capital, most of them receive salary, and only a few government offices receive ice respect, carbon respect, and all kinds of filial piety from the officials below.

Even those yamen only charge a little bit occasionally, let alone the many Qingshui yamen.

What they rely on is the occasional support from their families.

Many people will also ask why they still refuse to resign and go home after living like this.

This means that scholars sometimes want to save face. After finally becoming a scholar and becoming an official, they want them to resign and not do so, which will hurt their face.

Because of this, the subtlety involved makes these officials unwilling to lower their heads.

With such a small salary, many officials have to pay for grain while farming at home. This makes many officials feel resentful.

Because of their grievances, they all complained that there were problems with the impeachment reform.

The pale letter made Zhu Yuanzhang and his son ignore it, but it could not eliminate such voices.

After Chen Han learned about such a voice, he understood very well.

Reforms, even if they benefit a lot of people for the first time,

But all those who had vested interests in the past have suffered losses during this reform and change.

Even if Chen Han raised his salary a little, it was still not enough compared to the taxes they paid.

From a long-term perspective, the reform has brought convenience to many people who have no land.

Provide for their food, clothing and transportation so that they are no longer burdened by high taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

But what about those who have good interests and virtues?

The land tax asked them to pay more, but they didn't care.

But after various miscellaneous offices, tax offices and other miscellaneous taxes were exempted, they suffered huge losses.

For example, at home, under the care of the local government, ordinary people could work for the family for free.

People can provide candles, oil and other daily necessities for free.

These things will be included in the miscellaneous taxes collected by the government.

But now that everything has been cancelled, for some families, it is equivalent to losing a lot of money.

Because these cannot be obtained from ordinary people for free, they have to spend their own money to buy them.

Even if the business environment is improving now, it does not mean that every family will do business.

They used to do business without capital and relied on free supplies from ordinary people.

Of course these people would not be happy if their source of information was cut off.

So various petitions were made to find fault with the reform from various angles.

Even though they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang might not agree, they had to make such an attempt.

Chen Han just sneered slightly after learning this.

For such a class of scholar-bureaucrats, he already knew what they looked like.

They don't care whether the reform will bring benefits to the people.

They didn't care whether the reforms could change the Ming Dynasty.

They don't care that after the reforms, everyone will benefit in the end, and they will also benefit.

They don't see that far, they only see immediate benefits.

They only see that they pay so much land tax every time, but they cannot get more benefits from the people. This is a loss to them...
