In the royal garden, peach and willow green, with warblers singing and swallowing dancing on the branches.

Spring scenery with a panoramic view.

However, the current Sun Keqing, who is as lively as a bird than usual, has not said a word for a long time.

After hanging out for a while.

Sun Keqing cautiously raised his head, like a child who was caught by his parents if he did something wrong, and asked, "Cousin, you walked directly into the Cining Palace just now, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Qizhen's brows frowned slightly.

This girl was asking herself, did she overhear her conversation with the Queen Mother?

"Just now my aunt told people a little secret, you shouldn't have heard it, right?"

Sun Keqing circled with a pair of jade hands and asked tentatively.

"What secret?"

Zhu Qizhen pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Hmph, it's all said it's a secret, of course you can't tell your cousin." "

After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Sun Keqing immediately snorted arrogantly, completely without the embarrassment and restraint just now, jumped two steps forward, and said with a playful smile: "Cousin, look, what are those two birds doing?"

On the branches, there are two birds looking at me.

After speaking, Sun Keqing blushed again, and lowered his head to play with a lock of hair.

Zhu Qizhen: "..."

Just when Zhu Qizhen was speechless, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran over and handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, the second assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, has something to ask for. "

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu, the second assistant, supervises the household department, saying that there is a huge difference between this year's taxes and previous years. "

"Xuanxu Pavilion Old Qianqing Palace saw the driver. "

"Obey!"

Wei Zhongxian bowed and retreated.

"Cousin, that cousin retreats first. "

Hearing that the emperor had something, Sun Keqing pouted, although he was a little reluctant and reluctant, but he was still very conscious.

In major matters, this girl is still sensible and will not delay the emperor's handling of imperial affairs.

"Well, my cousin will visit you again in the future. "

Zhu Qizhen nodded, waved away, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Xu Jie, who was waiting for the emperor's second assistant, carefully checked the report in hand, which was the tax collected in January.

Until now, his eyes were still wide and his face was full of incredulity.

"Oh my God, it's unbelievable!"

How can the gap between the agricultural tax and the commercial tax be so large?!"

"It's incomprehensible!"

In the ninth year of orthodoxy, that is, this year, the taxes in January have been counted!

In the eighth year of orthodoxy, the emperor vigorously arranged for the public to announce a reduction in the proportion of agricultural taxes and an increase in commercial taxes.

Commercial tax, 100 dollars tax 100 dollars, tax rate 10%.

The agricultural tax and commercial tax in January this year were counted out, and the statistical data shocked Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, on the spot, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, carefully compared the eight years of orthodoxy and the nine years of orthodoxy, and the tax situation in these two years, he was stunned.

Eight years after orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen had just become pro-government.

When the emperor had just decreed the adjustment of taxes, many ministers in the court advised the emperor: "The Daming tax system should not be moved lightly, and the movement will be the foundation of the chaotic country." "

Among them, naturally including him Xu Jie.

However, Zhu Qizhen still tried his best to put aside the public opinion, ordered the reform of the tax law, and asked Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, a cabinet member, and Yuhuatian, the supervisor of the West Factory, to promote the change of the law of measuring the good land in the world.

At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of reform, was met with great resistance.

However, Zhu Qizhen made a quick decision and granted Yuhuatian the Son of Heaven sword to hold the Son of Heaven, let him hunt on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, kill on a large scale, and wipe out a large number of officials and family clans.

Fang Cai accelerated the progress of measuring the world's good fields.

The wealthy families are undoubtedly afraid of imperial power and know how to avoid it.

And those clan kings, relying on them as royalty, secretly made stumbling blocks and resisted the official government.

However, when Zhu Qizhen destroyed the White Lotus Sect and brazenly killed 50,000 people, shocking the world, the clan kings took the initiative to go to the official mansion and inform the official office of the land deeds of their homes.

Measure the speed of the world's fields, and from now on!

Only when he saw that the imperial power was supreme and cold-blooded and ruthless, did the clan king throb and chose to submit.

The new tax system is to treat each household with one stone and one bucket per mu.

Although this is only adjusted from the "household" system to the "mu" system, it makes it impossible for the wealthy family to avoid taxes, and how much good land they have to pay taxes.

In the first month of the ninth year of this year, four million stones of agricultural taxes were collected!

Last year, in the year when Zhu Qizhen had just become pro-government, the tax paid for a whole year was only 8 million stone, and on average, it was less than 700,000 stone every month.

Xu Jie could not have imagined that the emperor's reform would increase the taxes of the Daming Empire by nearly six times!

Moreover, the ordinary people of Li in the world paid taxes greatly reduced at the same time, while the taxes of the Daming Empire skyrocketed!

Xu Jie, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, stared at the report of agricultural taxation, and looked excited, because the success of this tax reform means that the Daming Empire will no longer be short of grain from now on.

Xu Jie was deeply ashamed when he thought of what he had said to the emperor at that time.

At that time, he thought that His Majesty was young and did not know the importance of taxation to the society, so he said: "The Daming tax system cannot be moved lightly, and the movement will be the foundation of the chaotic country." "

Now it seems that although His Majesty is young, he not only knows the importance of taxation to social welfare, but also knows how to reform the tax system.

"Young lord, far-sighted, Your Majesty is really far-sighted!"
