People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 15 If the powerful don’t die, the country will be destroyed!
Did Zhang Juzheng look down on Chen Han?

Have!
Because he also felt that Chen Han was just a minister who wielded power.

Relying on saving the emperor's life, he began to be domineering.

But he also discovered a very strange phenomenon.

I originally thought that Emperor Wanli would be unwilling to study because he was hanging out with Chen Han.

But the situation was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

Now Emperor Wanli not only has no impetuosity when studying, he even strives for excellence.

I don’t even need anyone to urge me to go to court every day, as if I have grown up overnight.

This made Zhang Juzheng very strange.

After clearly creating a jester like Chen Han, why does Emperor Wanli seem to have become a little better?

But speaking of Fool, it seems that Chen Han hasn’t done anything outrageous yet.
And this is also a very big reason why Zhang Juzheng can still tolerate Chen Han.

But today he really opened his eyes.

He really didn't expect Chen Han to understand the current Ming Dynasty so well.

Pointed out the problem in one sentence.

So he was nervous.

Because once this kind of thing is known to others, especially if interest groups know it, they will take precautions in advance.

This does not bode well for reform.

Chen Han didn't care.

He even thought to himself: Why are these NPCs becoming more and more like real people, as if they are a real court? Isn't this just a game? Speedrunning is the key, so you don’t have time to worry about all the trivial matters.

So he talked about reform carelessly and told what he knew without reservation.

Of course, it was quite refreshing to see Zhang Juzheng’s shocked look.

Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, even if you have played all the powerful characters in the past five thousand years, you are still an ordinary person. In the plot, you are still not as powerful as me.

You still have to look at my eyes and act.

That's cool!

The most important thing is that this is based on the achievements of the two roles he starred in.

It just so happens that one is Zhang Juzheng and the other is the advocate of Emperor Yongzheng. These two roles made Lao Tang famous, especially the latter.

Hey!

The game company is really a spoof, using real people to model the game.

After having a bit of fun, Chen Han returned to the topic.

After seeing Zhang Juzheng being so nervous, Chen Han was dismissive: "Why should Mr. Zhang Ge be so nervous? Even if they leak it, won't we reform?

Of course, if you are afraid that they will reveal the secret, it is very simple and I will help you solve it later. It is very easy for the Jinyiwei I am in charge to do something dirty with them! "

thump!
The cabinet ministers present knelt down collectively.

"Tishuai, please spare my life!"

"Tishuai, we will swear to be loyal to His Majesty to the death, and we will never change our minds."

"Yes, Tishuai, what we heard today will be treated as rotten in our stomachs, and we will never publicize it!"

Chen Hanhan smiled: "I have said that if I say it here, I won't be afraid of you saying it out. At worst, it will lead to chaos and bloodshed. Anyway, there is no way for reform to kill people."

Then he looked at Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. Zhang Ge, I have always been honest and upright in my work. Reform must be carried out. The world is in ruins. If we don't change, the dynasty will change sooner or later!"

hiss! !

Everyone felt sore after hearing this.

Who is Chen Han and why can he say anything?

Isn't he afraid of others interfering with him?
Oh, by the way, his reputation isn't much better now.

But you have the emperor's backing, and looking at the current situation, both Jin Yiwei and Si Li are in your pocket, so of course you have nothing to fear.

But we can't. Aren't you dragging us down?

But Zhang Juzheng's heart beat faster after hearing Chen Han's words.

He asked: "What reform measures do you have, Tishuai?"

Chen Han had no reservations: "Three points. First, add a whip method to the acres;

Officials at all levels, including the royal family, clan members, and eunuchs in the palace, were not required to pay taxes on the land they owned, which accounted for half of the world's land. The common people could cultivate less than half of the world's land, but they had to pay the world's taxes.

Therefore, the land of the world must be re-measured, regardless of common people or dignitaries, even the royal land has been measured;

Corvettes, errands, annual offices, and miscellaneous offices were all divided into a mess of apportionments and taxes. They all collected taxes in silver and did not pay in kind.

Abolish the head tax and incorporate the capitation tax into the land tax.

In this way, those with more fields will pay more taxes, those with less fields will pay less taxes, and those with no fields will pay no taxes;

If you no longer pay the population tax, the hidden population will naturally come out. "

This first article stunned everyone, including Zhang Juzheng.

Not many powerful people in the world are willing to do this alone.

This is to make the whole world an enemy!

This actually includes the royal family, this...

Zhang Juzheng didn't know how to evaluate it.

Chen Han didn't care.

I'm playing a speedrunning game.

I don't care who you are.

Chen Han smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhang Ge, aren't you afraid?"

Other ministers helped him answer: "Tishuai, it's not that we are afraid, but that public opinion is fierce and everyone in the world will oppose him."

Chen Han asked back: "You are the first one to object, tell me how many fields your family has that don't pay taxes!"

The minister lowered his head and avoided Chen Han's gaze.

He was indeed against it.

Because he is the one with vested interests. If the land is re-measured, his family will no longer be able to hide the more than 3,000 acres of untaxed land that belongs to poor people. He is not willing to pay so much more land tax.

There are also those messy assessments, which are all converted into silver and paid, which is equivalent to being transparent, so how can we line our own pockets?

Chen Han laughed loudly: "Mr. Zhang Ge, just watch. Unless I let my commander beat him to death now, otherwise, as soon as he comes out of this door, this person will contact his comrades as soon as possible to tell him what he said today. Speak out.

Then he will encourage others to impeach me, remove me from office, and even make me die. "

The man was sweating even more and did not dare to look at Chen Han.

He was even thinking: This person is a monster. How does he know what I am thinking?
Zhang Juzheng also had sweat on his forehead.

When Chen Han just said it, even those in the cabinet objected, so you can imagine the reaction of the people all over the world.

Chen Han looked around and said, "What I said here today, if these words spread outside before I announce it, I will be the first to kill everyone here."

The dozen or so ministers in the cabinet duty room were trembling all over.

This Chen Han must have been sent by God to torture us.

"What's your name?" Chen Han asked the minister just now.

"My... my name is..." The man trembled.

"Have you forgotten your name?" Chen Han asked.

"I will be a simple official, and I will be a bachelor of Dongge University and a minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

Chen Han snorted: "It's really ridiculous. The dignified minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs has such a moral character. You can only imagine the virtue of the officials below."

Then Chen Han looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Mr. Zhang Ge, reform always kills people. If the powerful don't die, the world will perish."
