The high arch, as the first auxiliary, was the first to speak.

"Our country's government affairs are exhausted, and the drawback is that corruption and fraud are serious. We should punish officials who commit corruption and fraud with the law, and crack down on unhealthy trends..."

Gao Gong expressed his opinion. In his opinion, harsh laws should be used to punish corrupt officials.

After Gao Gong finished speaking his thoughts, Zhu Yijun did not respond immediately, but looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "I have already read the memorial of Master Zhang, and now I want to hear how Master Zhang wants to implement the reform of Tianfu?"

After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng looked up at the little emperor.

The young emperor sits on the dragon chair and handles government affairs!

That's right.

At this time, he is discussing politics...

Zhang Juzheng was shocked. He never thought that the young emperor would ask him how to reform?

He remembered the memorial that he had received in the morning.

A few words are written on the memorial: The land is the foundation of the country, and it is occupied by the gentry of the gentry.

Those words are not the notes of Emperor Longqing...

Is it...

Zhang Juzheng raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun. Could it be that those words were mentioned by this young emperor?One sentence hits the nail on the head. The most difficult part of land reform is to move the MigGs of the gentry and squires. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause national turmoil.

"Your Majesty, what this minister means is to reform the statistical method of farmland taxation, re-measure the land in the world, no longer use the poll tax, but use the land tax, how much land is there, and how much tax is paid. Such statistical methods can avoid tax evasion and evasion. …”

Gao Gong and Gao Yi listened quietly, they didn't chat, they wanted to hear what the young emperor meant.

This matter can test the Son of Heaven the most...

Whether the Son of Heaven is really smart and wise, it will soon be revealed.

Chapter 9 What should I do if there is less silver in the treasury?

After Zhang Juzheng finished talking about his reform method, Zhu Yijun smiled.

"Master Zhang, do you know how big this project is? How many years will it take to complete?"

Zhu Yijun asked back.

"It takes ten years to see initial results, and twenty years to complete."

Zhu Yijun stood up suddenly, the little boy stepped off the dragon chair, stood in front of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and said, "How much silver is there in the treasury? Do you know?"

"One million taels?"

Gao Yi said.

After Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng heard Gao Yi's words, they laughed dumbly, Zhang Juzheng cupped his hands and said, "Master Gao, the surplus of the treasury is less than [-] taels..."

"What! Less than [-] taels!" Gao Yi, Minister of Rites, was shocked. He naturally knew that the country was short of money and silver, but he never imagined that the treasury would be so empty.

Zhang Juzheng is also frowning, the country is poor, but those country gentlemen are very rich...

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "If you want to complete the reform, it will cost a lot of money. This matter needs to be done slowly. Now that the treasury is silver, does Master Zhang have a good plan?"

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Gao Gong and said, "Your Majesty should punish corrupt officials with severe punishments!"

This time, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong united the front.

That's what Gao Gong said just now.

Since the national treasury has no money, it can only be copied from the corrupt officials' homes...

This was originally Gao Gong's idea, but Gao Gong worshipped himself on the moral high ground.

"Since the two Aiqings have already known about the national crisis and the building is about to collapse, then we will find the worms for me. I will see the results of the two Aiqings tomorrow. I hope that in ten days, the surplus of the treasury will exceed one million! "

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong glanced at each other and felt their heads become bigger.

A million taels of silver?

The emperor really wants to make a big vote.

Just as Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were about to shirk the blame, Zhu Yijun strode onto the dragon chair and said to himself, "I often hear my father say that the old man is omnipotent, and Mr. Zhang's iog is very good. I think this trivial matter, It's hard to beat the two cabinet ministers."

Zhu Yijun lifted Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng to the sky with one sentence, but also blocked their words.

However, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong also felt terrified, because they found that the little emperor's methods were even more sophisticated than the old emperor. Although they were both as shrewd as foxes, they were played by the little emperor and applauded.

"This little emperor is even more difficult to deal with!"

"It seems that I have been thinking too much before, the young emperor can rule the world!"

When he came, Zhang Juzheng was at odds with Gao Gong.

But now, the two were united by the little emperor, and the gap between the two was silently smoothed out by the little emperor...

Because Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng found a common enemy, they had to complete a unified mission.

That is to investigate corrupt officials.

One million taels of silver...
