The Minister of Rites has been watching from the side, and he has been laughing while holding his zui.

For him, this is a struggle.

In the struggle between the cabinet and the emperor, no matter what, it is the cabinet who is unlucky in the end. After all, the cabinet is responsible for the operation of the entire country...

Zhu Yijun left the imperial garden first. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng stood there, trembling with anger, they had long known that the emperor's summoning was not good.

Now it really came true.

If I knew this earlier, I would not come to the Imperial Garden because of illness. Every time I come, I find a lot of things for myself.

Now the emperor threw another mess to them. Last year, the little emperor spent the treasury wastefully, and now he can't hold it anymore, and asked them to find a solution. Isn't this embarrassing them?

There will certainly be no change in agricultural taxes...

Is it really necessary to reform the business?

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other. Although Zhang Juzheng had just been the emperor and just got up, but the emperor had issued an decree, and no matter how difficult it was, they could only do it.

"Elder Ge, in your opinion, how should you deal with it?"

"What can I do with it? I'm not an immortal, and I can't make money. For the sake of the treasury, we can only be a stupefied official..."

"Elder Ge already has a solution?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

Gao Gong waved at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng came over, and Gao Gong whispered: "Corrupt officials all sell officials for money, and now the emperor wants to lift the ban on commerce, it seems that the emperor has eaten the scales, and has an iron heart, let's try him. Try...if it doesn't work, let's take it back..."

"Please speak bluntly, Mr. Gaoge..."

"Anyway, the ban on commerce is about to be lifted. Let's reset the taxation of various items, and then sell the right to buy and sell some items to some merchants to fill the void in the treasury and make the emperor happy for a few days..."

"What's the difference between this and a salesman!" Zhang Juzheng's face changed greatly.

"Of course there is a difference. Selling an official is dereliction of duty, while selling a part of the commodity management rights is just an experiment... It doesn't work, let's take it back."

"Where do you think it's better to start?" Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Let's start with water transportation... First lift the ban on canal merchant ships..."

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng began to think about lifting the ban on business step by step. In order to satisfy the appetite of the little emperor, they racked their brains to figure out where to deduct some money to fill the deficit in the treasury.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng left the Forbidden City. After entering the cabinet, they worked out the steps to lift the ban on water transportation, and they were thinking about how to sell the rights to water transportation in exchange for the maximum profit. However, they could not let water transportation lose control. It has to be the court...

When Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were very busy, Zhu Yijun took a green bamboo fishing rod and fished for goldfish at the other end of the imperial garden, very comfortable and leisurely...

Starting today to do the works of the emperor

Thank you brothers for your support, ask for flowers, ask for collection

From today on, I will do the works of the emperor. Chapter 30 You are too ugly, and you will be destroyed by me. (seeking collection, evaluation)

The Governor of Caoyun was a fat poor man with a second-rank official residence.

It can be said to be a high weight...

It's just that the last governor of Caoyun embezzled [-] million taels of silver, and all the people were executed.

The newly-appointed Governor of Water Transport was trembling. Not long after the Governor of Water Transport returned to the Governor's Office, Mr. Gao Gong, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant, came to the Governor's Office of Water Transport, and the Governor of Water Transport greeted him outside.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng didn't talk nonsense. They told the Governor of Caoyun their intentions for their trip. They wanted to let go of Caoyun and move from official to private...

Not long after he took office, the Governor of Water Transport did not dare to rebel against the decree of the cabinet, and directly reported the tax and volume of water transport in various places.

The reform of the Ming Dynasty finally kicked off. With the support of Emperor Wanli, the reform decree began with the easiest business. After all, business reform will basically not harm the interests of any class...

Zhang Juzheng wanted to carry out land reform the most, and implemented a whip law, abolishing the per capita tax, and changing the tax by mu. The more land, the heavier the tax.

However, once the land reform is to be carried out, it will touch the resistance of the squires, landlords and the big nobility. A retired chief assistant like Xu Jie is also a big nobility, with a family property of more than ten thousand mu...

After implementing the one-whip method, the Xu Jie family will increase the annual tax from a hundred taels of silver to thousands of taels...

In Zhu Yijun's view, land reform will be carried out soon, but it is not yet ready to carry out land reform.

……

In the imperial garden, Zhu Yijun enjoyed fishing.

After harvesting a few goldfish, Zhu Yijun closed the pole, stared at the rippling blue waves, and turned on the system.

[Host: Zhu Yijun. 】

[Age: years old. 】

[Occupation: Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[National strength: [-]. 】

Half a year ago, the comprehensive national strength of the Daming Empire was only [-], but it took Zhu Yijun only half a year to increase the national strength of the Daming Empire to [-]. From the perspective of his achievements, Zhu Yijun can definitely be called the Ming Jun Shengjun.

If the business reform is successful, the comprehensive national strength will definitely grow by leaps and bounds again, Zhu Yijun thought to himself.

[Emperor level: level. 】

[Awakened Martial Soul: Sweeping God Monk, Sweeping God Monk's martial arts level. 】

In addition to these national information, Zhu Yijun checked the comprehensive national strength of neighboring countries.

Menggu's comprehensive national strength plummeted because of the great defeat. Now Menggu's comprehensive national strength is less than [-]. On the contrary, the Japanese country's comprehensive national strength has skyrocketed.
