Chapter 247 The rules are set by me, you have to remember
Lu Fang briefly explained, what else could it be? It is naturally a matter of taxation. You must know that no matter what dynasty scholars were, they did not have to pay taxes. Now, no matter who they are, as long as their annual income exceeds twenty taels, they must pay taxes.
Taxes, who are you looking down on?
In this way, they all have to teach them that if it is a small amount, forget it, and it will be over with a lake, but this is not a small amount, 12/10, and all the underwear at home has been searched, and the tax is recovered.
The order has been sent home a long time ago.
At first, no one took it seriously, and some people even ended up buying the order, thinking they were crazy about money. This was simply a money grab.
But slowly, the direction of public opinion began to change. The imperial court actually issued a document directly denying their legality, which means that everything they have now is illegal, whether it is family property or land, if others have appropriated it, they will retaliate.
No one was accepted by the officials.
Nowadays, you have to be pointed at when you go out. The key point is that the harassment of the untouchables is very annoying. Some people wanted to resist, but the resistance was fierce and resulted in casualties. They were directly trampled by the army. The result now is that they do not pay taxes.
, when you conflict with others, you can only suffer losses but cannot take advantage, which is very uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that it’s okay for them to pay such a heavy tax. In fact, many of them advocate keeping things quiet. His Majesty is too powerful and has suffered losses many times. There is no need to fight head-on. Those who can survive in the capital now have bones.
It's not very hard.
But the most unbalanced thing is that those untouchables don't have to pay taxes. Isn't this a complete loss? It was uncomfortable to pay, and it is even more uncomfortable now.
After listening, Zhu Houcong was silent for a moment. Although the weather was not too hot at this time, everyone felt chilly. Although they clamored to see His Majesty, they still felt panicked when His Majesty came out.
"Alchemy Iron Coupon? It's interesting. Who asked you to come?" Zhu Houcong waved his hand casually, and the Alchemy Iron Coupon appeared in his hand. He had almost forgotten about it. By the way, Lao Zhu gave me a few pieces.
Have they all been taken back? Where did this come from, or was it given to me by Zhu Di?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I...I..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about me and me. I'll give you two ways. Now go back and act according to the regulations. I can pretend that nothing happened, or... I can fight with this Dan Shutie
Is it the same as a coupon?" Zhu Houcong shook his hands lightly, and an iron book turned into crumbs?
After sending these guys away, Zhu Houcong felt much better. If Zhu Houconn issued the iron coupon, he might still recognize it, but it depends on the situation. If you get one issued by emperors of countless generations, I will admit that you have one.
If you are a ghost, you will all die to me.
"Master, please forgive me. It's really hard to stop slaves like them. I'll know this next time." Lu Fang bowed slightly. It was true that he didn't stop him this time. Let's just say, how could your majesty be caught by a so-called book?
Troubled by the gifts given by the late emperor.
In the past, if Your Majesty was really like this, I don’t know how many people would take this as an issue, but it is different now. If there are too many lice, there will be no need to worry about too many debts. Compared with this, everyone is worried about taxes.
It would be fine if they defended with all their strength. Although it would be a headache, the common people could not do anything about them. However, if there was any resistance, the military team would deal with it very quickly on charges of endangering national security.
However, people who pay taxes also enjoy the same legal protection. Some people want to spend money to ward off disasters, but the money is too much, because Zhu Houcong calculates taxes based on their income, which can be as high as 4%.
It’s about ten, but the tax rates for each industry are different. For some weak industries, such as agriculture, the tax is slightly lighter.
Some profiteering industries, such as salt and iron, are heavily taxed, and you don’t dare not pay. This is obvious. I know you sell private salt. If you pay taxes, we will pretend that we don’t know. You are also making money.
If you don't pay, then wait to die.
Under such multiple pressures, although he suffered a lot of resistance, he gained a lot. Xu Jie now also feels the distress of his mentor Yan Song. The money is completely uncountable.
Yan Song was fine at that time. As for buying and selling, it didn't matter whether it was more or less. He made money first and then made up for it later. But he was different. This was tax, and every transaction had to be recorded in the bank account. During this period, the tax department's
The staff were almost going crazy.
Xu Jie could only ask his teacher to temporarily transfer some people, but even so, it was still tight, but overall the work was going smoothly, and Xu Jie's ability was pretty good, not as big as expected.
Of course, there are a lot of people who are defiant and defiant, and we will just take care of it later.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You really are not very sensitive to that thing. You will know next time. Whatever it is, just fight it out." Zhu Houcong also understood that it was related to the majesty of the royal family. What if Zhu Houcong wanted to show off?
, Lu Fang naturally didn't dare to move, but at least he didn't let anyone in to disturb him, right?
"No, I understand." Lu Fang nodded slightly to express her understanding. Your Majesty's attitude is already obvious, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
"It seems that Xu Jie did a good job. Is there anyone rebelling?" Zhu Houcong is quite satisfied with this. Since there are people making trouble, it means it is effective. If you don't hit them where it hurts, they won't even dare to call out now. That's all at this time.
Okay, has anyone jumped over the wall yet?
"Yes, Mr. Xu is still very capable. There are no signs of rebellion at the moment. Although some people are making trouble, it is not big." Lu Fang also knew that there were many people who wanted to rebel, but they did not dare. With Ming's current situation,
With military strength, who dares to cause trouble? Unless they don’t want to live anymore.
Not everyone is King Yin. If you rebel, you will kill the nine tribes. Why bother? Although I can't live anymore, I can still live relatively comfortably, but I don't live very comfortably.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo Reading recently to catch up on books, change sources, and read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
But from another point of view, His Majesty is still very fair and just. No matter who he is, he will accept money, although it is a bit unfair not to accept the money from those poor people.
It’s not like every household is suffering, everyone is being ripped off, so I think I’m used to it.
"Well, I haven't gained much during this period. I was a little irritable at first. I feel more comfortable after going out, so I should leave them here to play more." Zhu Houcong stretched his waist and saw that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous.
Everyone feels more comfortable. At least their efforts are not in vain.
But this time, he noticed these Wuxun Groups. He didn't notice them at all originally. After the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty's Wuxun Groups were basically destroyed, leaving only three or two big fish and kittens.
Zhu Houcong's firepower at the beginning was mainly to deal with the clan and civil servant groups. Now that they have been dealt with, it is unreasonable for these guys not to move.
However, compared to the civil servant group, Zhu Houxun still has a favorable impression of the Wuxun group. At least their current status is the result of their ancestors' hard work on the battlefield. Compared with the corrupt literati, these people are slightly better.
a little.
But it's not much better. After all, they are all juniors. It's hard to say whether these people have ever been on the battlefield. But after all, they are heroes, so Zhu Houcong still has to be more tolerant.
"I didn't notice these people from the Wuxun Group before. Let's do this. Their treatment is the same as that of the clan, but the treatment is reduced. However, I can give them a chance to convert their titles into current positions in the army. They can choose whatever they want.
It’s up to them, you can decide how to calculate it, the maximum cannot exceed the group leader.”
Zhu Houcong waved his hand, it was different now than before, it was just a matter of one sentence, and there were not many of them, so Zhu Houcong didn't need to worry about it. Instead of letting these guys eat and wait to die, it was better to go to the battlefield and fight.
Of course, Zhu Houcong did not insist on it. It was not impossible to wait for death while holding on to the title in his hand. At least there was a minimum living guarantee. Zhu Houcong didn't care. He just treated him as a five-guarantee household, and it was not fully supported.
That way, at least he doesn't have to pay for medical treatment and visits to brothels.
"Master, is this good? After all, the system in the army is getting closer to maturity. Wouldn't it be bad for us to block people like this? This rule..." Lu Fang's meaning is very obvious. You set the rules.
, wouldn’t it be bad to suddenly change now, and stuffing people in like this would inevitably make the soldiers inside unhappy.
"Lu Fang, please be careful. What I want is a relatively independent system, but not a completely independent army. If I can't even command an army, then why do I need it? You
You know, the rules are made by me, so I am naturally outside the rules, and I don’t even need to hide anything. As for whether the two parties can get along harmoniously, what does that have to do with me? It’s their ability to stay, and those who can’t.
It's their fault too. Gains and losses are up to them. I just gave them a chance. Do you understand?"
Zhu Houcong had no intention of constraining himself within the rules he set from the beginning. That was pure stupidity. He was not that simple. The premise of all rules was to keep him outside. If he didn't even have this premise, how could he
Why can you control this huge country?
Of course, it is best for future generations to restrain themselves within the rules, because rules are both a kind of restraint and a kind of protection. But if you have the ability and play better than me, then just pretend that we didn't say anything.
"My slave has been taught. Master, where are you going now?" Lu Fang knew that she was talking too much. Yes, who is Your Majesty? How can you be bound by rules?
"Haha, I can go anywhere, but since you can stabilize the situation without me coming out, why don't I go out for a walk in the palace, no one will follow you this time, how about I go alone?" Zhu Houhuang's eyes lit up, but
He used a consultative tone. He also knew that it was not appropriate for him to go out, but he just wanted to go out for a walk, and he had already had this idea.
The feeling this time was particularly strong. He had achieved nothing for a month. He had the best dragon vein in the world, and his cultivation speed was needless to say, but he felt that his accumulation was really not enough. He wanted to go out for a walk and take a look.
The great rivers and mountains of the motherland, feel the Tao and nature.
He didn't have this idea at first, but he found that the Ming Empire was still thriving without him. He felt that the time had come, although the time seemed to have come earlier than he thought.
Lu Fang was about to blurt out the words when she heard these words, but when she saw His Majesty's expectant eyes, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. After all, it was the Ming Dynasty that dragged His Majesty down. People like Your Majesty should not be restrained in this small palace.
, It seems that there is nothing wrong with His Majesty wanting to pursue his own life, but what about His Majesty's safety after going out? It seems that every time His Majesty travels, something will go wrong.
"Lu Fang, do you think my idea is feasible? There has been no big fluctuation in the tax adjustment this time. I feel like I can go out for a walk, right?" Zhu Houcong blinked. After all, what he felt was what he felt.
You still have to go down there and take a look.
"Yes, it can be done." After all, Lu Fang still didn't say her refusal. Your Majesty has already paid enough, so just go out for a stroll. Lu Fang felt soft in her heart, and she accepted it somehow.
, he no longer knows how to imagine his future life.
They are in good order now because His Majesty is still there, and they are confident in whatever they do. But if His Majesty is not there, it will be hard to say. Just like in the previous situation, although he did not dare to drive people away, he could still block them from the door.
Did it.
If His Majesty is not here, his confidence will naturally be weakened by three points, but seeing His Majesty like this, there is no reason for him to accept it.
"Really, do you think it's feasible?" Zhu Houcong's eyes lit up. It's rare. He was already prepared. Lu Fang would never let him run around. In fact, it was more of a sigh. Lu Fang said
He just said that the country, the country, and the country were the most important thing, so he didn't go out. He also knew that it seemed stable now, but in fact, the empire could collapse in a moment. At this juncture, it was best for him to stay in the safest place.
But Lu Fang has said so, doesn’t this idea come to life? It’s not bad to go out for a walk, right? Only by going out and seeing can you know what the people lack most and what direction the world should take, right?
"Master, I haven't said anything. I have never seen my master. After the master came out to take a breath, he went into seclusion again. The remaining slaves don't know anything about it." Lu Fang sighed, go ahead, your majesty's heart
Not here, just go out for a walk, the worst thing is just don't tell him, just let him worry alone, it should be fine, probably, it seems like he said the same thing twice before.
Then I went to the battlefield once and came back seriously injured. I always felt that there was no credibility.
"Haha, I know you are the most considerate person, so I will take the first step. I will be back in a year and a half at most." Zhu Houcong was overjoyed. There is such a good thing, so what are you waiting for? Run away quickly.
Before Lu Fang could react, he ran away without even taking the money. He had spent enough time in this damn palace.
