Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

So many people died, but what the county magistrate reported was the tax figure that should be collected, which was nothing more than asking the court to reduce the tax.

Because according to the original human population, they were responsible for the task of paying so much money and grain. Now that there are so many people who have famines, starved to death, and fled every year, it is impossible for the remaining population to complete the task of taxation. Those who came to the center of the imperial court did not say anything else, but only asked for tax reduction.

"You copied this memorial, did you get any approval later?"

Zhang Shouren closed the copied memorial, his mind was full of tragic scenes, but he had been a superior for a long time, and he was able to suppress and control his temper, so he only asked Du Fuhu the key point.

"Yes, I have."[

Du Fuhu's expression was miserable: "The emperor's reply: collect the money and grain as usual, if there is any omission, only the magistrate of the county will ask, and he will be severely punished!"

"Dark Lord!"

In the group of military officers who came later, I don't know who it was, but in a soft voice, but deliberately so that many people could hear the voice, I cursed softly.

In Chinese tradition, it has always been to scold the emperor and not the emperor, but at this time, such a scolding, many people don't know how relieved it is.

Someone went a step further and said with a sneer: "Have you heard that, it is also right to support Liaodong Midou to fight against the captives, but a county has to pay more than 800 shi of Lumi, and there are seven princes in Henan, dozens of vassals, and thousands of towns. General, with tens of thousands of clans, it’s not enough to hand over all the harvest to Lumi. They surnamed Zhu are full of food, and the emperor will not take it seriously anyway.”

It is even more joyful to say this, the kings of the Ming Dynasty at that time were originally the source of disasters in the world.They occupy the most luscious land, they own the best farmland, as well as mines and commercial firms, and they are very active in competing with the people for profit.

King De of Jinan is a very vivid representative.

It can be said that no one has a good impression of these pro-vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, if they break a big city and win a pro-vassal, they must kill them.

As for the emperor himself, the reputation of being jealous and ungrateful has long been spread. A disaster in a certain province in Shaanxi caused tens of thousands of people to suffer. The emperor allocated 10 taels of relief money. This is a joke.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, considered that the thieves in Shaanxi were all starving and refugees, so he focused on comforting. Due to the financial difficulties of the court, he asked for relief. There were millions of people, and the food price at that time was five or six taels of silver per stone, and the money for relief was not enough to feed all the victims.

Yang He frankly said that the money is not enough, Zhu Youjian is also straightforward, anyway, I don't have any money, it is definitely hard to give up good money.

This greedy and good-for-goods character is very similar to his grandfather, but Zhu Youjian is even more contrived.

He often does things like wear old clothes, cut drums and music, remove food and reduce food, but he turns a blind eye to the suffering of the people, and has no psychological burden on the addition of reminders. Continuous disasters, thousands of miles of bare land, people scattered, Chongzhen not only did not give relief, but repeatedly raised wages. It can be said that Li Zicheng entered Henan with thousands of people, and he had hundreds of thousands of people in just over a year. This is a gift from Chongzhen to Li Zicheng , It is tantamount to offering one's own country with both hands.
