I, Zhu Qizhen, am not called the Son of Heaven!

"The money spent by the cabinet is the money that should be spent. "

Zhu Qizhen's head grew for a while.

Whether it is disaster relief, repairing embankments, or military salaries, repairing the Cining Palace, these expenses are obviously not saving.

He knew the situation in the palace, the Empress Dowager supported the harem and had always been thrifty, while the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Yulu was actually not high.

For example, Yu Qian, Shangshu of the Tangtang Military Department, a first-class officer, is only two hundred and eighty taels a year.

It can be said that various expenses cannot be reduced.

Zhu Qizhen's brows furrowed more and more.

Emperor!

He is the richest person in the world, rich all over the world, and the money under the world is not the emperor's.

However, they are also the poorest.

No way, no matter what happens in the world, as long as the imperial court wants to do something, it has to be paid by the state treasury, and it is a lot of money!

"Don't you always say that the Daming of Shun and the world of Shu are not a thriving elephant, and now how can the money for disaster relief not be taken out?"

Zhu Qizhen showed a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the slave maid, today's world is still rich, but most of the money, confiscated to the treasury, fell into the pockets of the family clan. "

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, who had been promoted by Zhu Qizhen to serve as a close eunuch, suddenly bowed his back and reminded.

"How do you say this?"

Zhu Qizhen knew that Wei Zhongxian was talented, and he also knew that he was hungry for power, and he was always ready to gain it, and he must have a good plan.

Zhu Qizhen is an atmospheric emperor, whether you are a eunuch or not, as long as you can be useful to the Jiangshan community of Xun and expand the national treasury revenue for Xun, Xu will give you supreme power and will not be stingy.

"Back to Your Majesty, this also starts with the tax system of my Daming Empire. "

Wei Zhongxian suddenly plopped down on his knees, pumping his mouth, and his posture was even more humble than Cao Zhengchun.

"The slave talked about the imperial government in vain, and asked His Majesty to punish. "

"This little eunuch is my great enemy in front of the emperor, and if this continues, the position of eunuch will fall into his hands sooner or later." "

Staring at Wei Zhongxian, who slapped himself, Cao Zhengchun not only did not gloat, but secretly said that it was not good, he remembered that when he first entered the palace, he climbed up like this.

And this little eunuch in front of him actually did better than he did back then!

"But it doesn't hurt to say. "

Zhu Qizhen took a sip and opened his mouth lightly.

"Your Majesty, in my Daming Dynasty, it is the household tax system. "

Wei Zhongxian wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his face and continued: "The so-called household tax system is to collect taxes on a household-by-household basis, and this system does have great advantages in stabilizing the world in order to obtain the support of the family gate when the country was just founded. "

"However, in the past hundred years, the shortcomings of the household tax system have gradually emerged. "

"For example, an ordinary farmer, three or five people, whose land is only two or three acres of land, is taxed on a case-by-household basis. "

"And a large family, with thousands of people in the family, owns 10,000 acres of good land, but it is also taxed according to one household, which is basically the same as that paid by a poor peasant. "

"Over the decades, the poor are poorer and the rich are richer. "

"Hired peasants, who have no good land, do not pay taxes, live by renting land from the family family, and for every acre of land rented, they pay two stones to the proprietor, and they can or leave half of it, while ordinary peasants who grow their own land have to pay three stones to the imperial court. "

Therefore, in order to survive, the poor peasants sold their land to the family family, or engaged in other trades, or became the family farmers. "

"For example, the Kong family in Shandong, claiming to be the descendants of Confucius saints, has been passed down for nearly two thousand years, and the family has prospered, with more than 200,000 mu of good land, 30,000 farmers, and five stones in taxes every year. "

"Another example is the Fan Yang Lu clan, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has also been passed down for more than a thousand years, and there are people who have been officials for generations, and the good land in the family is 300,000 mu, but it is also paid taxes by household, but it is only five stones. "

"Such a family family, in my Daming Dynasty, there are countless counts, you can imagine whose pocket the grain and money produced in my Daming land have fallen. "

"In addition, the heroes who followed Cheng Zuye to launch the Battle of Jingjian were all rewarded and received knighthoods. "

"These tens of thousands of titles are passed down from generation to generation, and they will never pay taxes. "

"In short, the land, money, and taxes of the world are in the hands of a few people, and these people, because they pay taxes by household, or do not pay taxes, so that the income of the treasury is much less. "

Wei Zhongxian said.

He also knew that his words offended the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu over and over again, because the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu, how many people were not family families?

And the beneficiary was only the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian, indeed, only for the emperor alone, of course, also for himself, he has no power, no reliance, can only tie his own interests, to the interests of the emperor.

"As long as it can be appreciated by His Majesty, even if it is an enemy of the Manchu Dynasty, so what. "

Wei Zhongxian's heart was roaring.

He believed that if the emperor benefited, he would give him the power he dreamed of.
