Zhu Yunyou, sitting on the dragon throne, had a calm expression and said, "In the past few days, the government and the people have been talking about it. I have heard a lot of private arguments about these two tax methods and the taxpayer's share.

This time, all the civil and military officials also began to become serious because everyone knew that they were about to start talking about serious matters.

Seeing that all the civil and military officials did not speak at this time, Zhu Yunyou chuckled a few times, "Oh? What's wrong with this? I have heard that my dear friends have been talking a lot in private, and now they are all speechless."

Many people are still feeling a little excited this time, and some bad memories seem to be gradually growing.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, many civil and military officials chatted in private and handed them to Lao Zhu’s desk the next day.

Even if the Jinyiwei now seems not as rampant as before, don’t underestimate the Jinyiwei’s strength. Especially the British Emperor doesn’t seem so gentle and peaceful, otherwise he wouldn’t have made a trick on the East Factory.

At this moment, the Censor Ded Yi stood up and said, "I have reported to Your Majesty that the two taxes have been passed down for a hundred years. Although there are some disadvantages, it is just that the flaws do not cover up the merits. I think the two taxes cannot be moved rashly, and there may be variables."

Dai Deyi, this is the 27th year of Hongwu. He was successful at a young age and said frankly, so he is now serving as the censor to supervise the administration. Now he is only 35 years old, and it can be said that the young and strong school is still quite promising.

Zhu Yunyou looked at Dai Deyi and asked with a smile, "What you said makes sense, but since you know that the two tax laws have drawbacks, why not change them? Zengzi once said: I examine myself three times a day. I remember that the Analects of Confucius also said: If there is, change it; if there is no, encourage it. In my opinion, this is not to let the scholars correct their own mistakes, and this is the reason for doing things."

The Emperor Yingxi was not particularly close to Confucianism, so everyone naturally understood this principle. But they all knew that the Emperor Yingxi was not ignorant. The Emperor could occasionally "cite scriptures and classics". Many people also knew that the Emperor Yingxi was quite talented in poetry, but the emperor did not like to recite poems and write them.

In the eyes of many civil officials, the British emperor was indeed a contradiction, which made them love and hate.

If you want to talk about the emperor in the UK, it is an orthodox emperor who cannot be more orthodox. Since this is an emperor, these civil officials will naturally be loyal to their emperor, which is also the education they received from childhood to adulthood.

But at some point, they also felt that the British Emperor was too out of mind, and the British Emperor never fully used Confucianism, and even had more or less intentions to suppress Confucianism, which obviously made many Confucian children feel a little worried.

But no matter what, the British emperor has the appearance of a wise ruler, which really made many civil officials expect. They still hope to "learn civil and martial arts, goods and imperial families."

At this time, Dai Deyi continued, "Your Majesty, if the tax system is reformed, it will inevitably be re-customized. Officials, gentry, and people will be very troubled."

Zhu Yunyou suddenly became happy, looked at Dai Deyi and asked, "Oh? According to my beloved, the court should learn Huang Lao's learning of governing inaction? But I remember that even if it is governing inaction, it is not that the court has no measures, right? Is this afraid that the new policy disturbs the people, or is it afraid that officials should do things?"

This time, Dai Deyi was a little speechless. He thought he was pretty good reasons, and this was all blocked by the emperor. But he was also very clear that the reasons he said were really unreasonable. He just hoped that the emperor could consider it more.

In fact, Dai Deyi belonged to the rising star of the Zhejiang East Civil Service Group. He was from Fenghua. His ancestors followed Emperor Gaozong of Song to Fenghua. They could be said to be a family of aristocratic families. They were neighboring counties with Fang Xiaoru. They were not only close to each other, but also went to school together and became the leader of the literary world, Song Lian, as their teacher.

Moreover, the Dai family is definitely a family of aristocratic families in Fenghua. Although the Dai family did not have many high-ranking officials and nobles before, this family can be regarded as a "farming and reading and passing on family members", which is in line with the eyes of some people who should be scholars.

Since they are a family, it naturally means that they have more land. In the past few days, Dai Deyi has discussed these matters with his colleagues.

Including his cousin who was a staff member in the Sixth Ministry, and his younger brother who visited his relatives in the capital, they also discussed together.

After all, the family has more land. Even after the title of the Dade Yi Jin List, the court did exempt some land taxes. However, the court did not say that it would exempt all the land under the name of Dade Yi. Compared with the land of the Dai family, the tax-free land is a drop in the bucket, and it is even worth mentioning at all.

The court was simply moving the foundation of these scholars and the great families. Previously, some people wanted to devote their land to scholars who had won the imperial examinations. The court had blocked this path, and the area of ​​tax-free land was quite limited.

Now I have to spread the digits to earn acres. The more land you have in your name, the more tax you need to pay. Even if you want to transfer it, this method will basically be blocked. This is simply unfriendly news.

Mao Dafang, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, also stood up at this time. This erudite and capable minister who became famous at a young age actually highly praised orthodox ideas. Some of his views are actually Confucian ethics.

Sometimes Zhu Yunyou also thinks that Mao’s generous views are also ridiculous. But I have to admit that Zhu Yunyou is relatively relaxed when he becomes an official in some cases.

But at this time, Mao said generously, "I will ask you for your Majesty, and I will make an appointment with courtesy and righteousness, and then I can do it with you."

Zhu Yunyou's temple veins leaped straight into his head for a moment. This person seized the opportunity and wanted to persuade the emperor to carry out "benevolent politics". This person felt that as long as the emperor practiced benevolent and righteous, there would be no problem in resolving political, historical and national disputes.

Some of his ridiculous views were actually found in the Ming Dynasty, even in all dynasties, and there were quite a few. After all, they were scholars, the so-called "reading stupidly" and they naively believed that "a work of the Analects of Confucius ruled the world", and they also thought that the views of the saints were the truth.

After waved his hand, Zhu Yunyou said, "Get out of here, my dear."

We should still let this person retreat, otherwise we would definitely have to preach all kinds of preaching, and we should still persuade the emperor to be kind to Confucianism, etc.

In fact, let alone Zhu Yunyou can't stand this person, many civil and military ministers can't stand Mao's generous pedantic and ridiculousness.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, Mao Dafang had nothing to say at this time. He should just step down obediently. Even if he wanted to persuade Emperor Yingxi to develop towards the real "saint king", it was just the emperor's "bad", but even the worst emperor was still the emperor and the king's father.

Those who stood up one after another were actually some "small characters". Perhaps they were placed in the place and they were the officials. However, in Fengtian Hall, the officials are of higher ranks, and now some small characters are also present.

This is also a normal operation. It does not exist at the beginning when some heavyweights came forward. Just like boxing competitions, the real focus battles still have to wait. Before the main competition, there are still some pre-warming matches.

You should be a little more patient. Zhu Yunyou is more patient and doesn’t worry about having a good meal.

Not only Zhu Yunyou has such patience, but many important officials are also patient, and they don’t need to appear yet.

Although it seems that there are only some not particularly important ministers who stand up now, some people naturally agree with the people who spend money. They think this is a benevolent government and will benefit many people.

Of course, many people will have objections, not only because they may affect their own or their family’s interests, but may be because these people think that it is better to have less than more things, or they think that the policy of diving money to acres has little to do with the teachings of saints.

This is a very normal thing. Everyone is still waiting patiently. They are looking for a suitable time to stand up and express their opinions.

Huang Zicheng, the Imperial College Priest, found an opportunity, although he was not a very high-ranking official. He could have a place in the court from the fourth rank, not to mention that the Imperial College Priest's Priest's identity is relatively noble and prominent.

"I have reported to Your Majesty. I think it is not necessary to spread the number of people to the acres." Huang Zicheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the two tax laws have been passed down for a hundred years and have been improved in all dynasties. If you act rashly on the two tax laws, you may cause turmoil in the world."

Zhu Yunyou just looked at Huang Zicheng and asked, "Oh? Then Huang Qing talked about why the tax system cannot be changed."

Huang Zicheng has actually been prepared for a long time. Although he is now the Imperial College Priest, he has always believed that his political philosophy has not been displayed, which has also buried his talent.

After all, he is the first in the imperial examination and the third in the palace examination. It seems that there is no problem to be talented. At least he is very outstanding in the imperial examination. Moreover, his political philosophy has always been "perfect", but unfortunately the emperor did not value him.

It is of course very good to teach and educate people, but Huang Zicheng still hopes to have more opportunities, hopes to become a real important official, govern the world, and practice the way of a saint.

Huang Zicheng continued, "Your Majesty, if you spread the stakes into the acres, it will inevitably damage the confidence of farmers."

Zhu Yunyou laughed and said, "Oh? I think my dear can see that this tax is transferred to the land, and those with more fields pay more taxes. Is this the reason?"

Seeing Huang Zicheng nodding, Zhu Yunyou smiled and said, "Although the two tax laws were implemented in previous dynasties, the land annexation has always been a stubborn problem that is difficult to eradicate. If the land is distributed to acre, will this land be reduced?"

Huang Zicheng didn't quite agree with this, but said, "I'll start to report to Your Majesty. Even if I'm digging into a mu, I can't eradicate the merger."

"I have not strictly restricted mergers, I just do not allow tax evasion." Zhu Yunyou laughed and said to Huang Zicheng, "Your dear will go back and read more books. In the middle and late dynasties, it was so miserable that the poor had no land. Why did the Supreme Emperor enter Huangjue Temple back then? Don't you know?"

When Lao Zhu entered Huangjue Temple, of course, because he couldn't survive anymore, he could only go to the temple to be a little novice monk and beg for a chance to survive.

"Your father is really a bastard!" Old Zhu was angry. He knew that this was a big deal, so he brought Xiao Xiao Zhu to "rule the government from behind the curtain". "He kept saying that little thing! We know how down-and-out we were in the past, so we don't allow anyone to mention it."

Xiao Xiao Zhu leaned in Lao Zhu's arms and was full of confidence, "We all know that not only herding cattle, but also being a novice monk and begging for begging!"

Lao Zhu is both angry and funny, and he never hides his background, etc., and is proud of his background and experience. But sometimes, Lao Zhu doesn't like Xiao Zhu to mention it, and always feels a little embarrassed in front of his children and grandchildren.

Zhu Yunyou had a serious expression and slowly stood up and said, "My great-grandfather and great-grandmother died one after another. The Supreme Emperor had no money to buy a coffin, so he could only wrap his body in a torn robes and fell into the soil. Do you know where my great-grandmother was buried? Those are the lands of the Liu family, the father of Yihui, to succeed the grandfather!"

At this time, the civil and military officials in the court knelt down one after another. The emperor mentioned his family affairs and ancestors. These civil and military ministers could not stand and listen.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "The Zhu family is lucky, and there is still a land gifted by Marquis Yihui. It's just that I feel sorry for the people of the world. There is no land to cultivate before life and no land to bury after death!"

Why do we need to "sell our body to bury our father" and so on? It is not just because of the traditional concept of being buried in peace, but also because it is difficult to find a land to bury it because farmers have no land. Those lands are either from the Zhang family landlords or from the Liu family landlords. I really think that you can dig a pit or build a grave at will?

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Get up and report to Your Majesty, that was caused by the tyranny of the Mongol Yuan."

Okay, now it is just a mistake of the Mongolian Yuan court. It seems that this can divert the conflicts and turn the miserable events of the Zhu family into class conflicts. It seems that it will no longer be a common phenomenon, and it will not appear in the Ming Dynasty!

This is simply a joke. As long as there is land annexation, there will be many farmers who do not have land to farm!

Zhu Yunyou looked at Huang Zicheng and then glanced at the ministers, "Every time there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, most people lose their land. If they sell their children and daughters, their families will be destroyed, and they will only become rich tenants or fleeing households. Even so, they still have to pay taxes, so how can they pay taxes?!"

This is one of the terrible things about the capita tax. Without land, you still have to pay taxes. This is not an easy task. For many people, if you want to not pay taxes, you can only flee your household, and be hidden from your household registration by the landlords and gentry.

Land annexation is definitely the reason why many dynasties are heading for destruction, and it is also a sign of the decline of a prosperous dynasty. Zhu Yunyou understood this truth and believed that these civil and military ministers in the court knew it.

Zhu Yunyou looked at these civil and military officials and said, "What's wrong with letting the farmer have the same land?"

The land of ploughing people can be regarded as a scene that only exists in the prosperous times in countless people’s dreams. But in this way, it will definitely violate the interests of many people, which is also a truth that countless people understand!
