The people do not pay taxes, but the national treasury doubles!
What a loud tone, what an arrogant young man who talks nonsense!
Li Mo and others did not believe what Zhu Pingan said about the government doubling the national treasury without adding taxes to the people. There are many powerful people in history who would not dare to say such a thing. Zhu Pingan is just a ten-year-old.
A junior who is many years old dares to say such big words. It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers and speaks freely!
"Oh, Ai Qing, are you saying that the national treasury can be doubled without increasing taxes on the people?" Emperor Jiajing heard Zhu Ping'an say that he came up with this so-called method of doubling the treasury without increasing taxes on the people when he was checking the information on the sea ban.
I couldn't help but become interested.
"Your Majesty, that's right." Zhu Pingan nodded without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, what this person said is illogical and extremely wrong. Please expel these people who make such nonsense out of the palace to serve as a warning to others!" Li Mo couldn't help it anymore. He took the first two steps and held his hands.
Saluting Emperor Jiajing, his words were quite harsh.
"Why did Aiqing say this?" Emperor Jiajing asked calmly, with no change in expression on his face.
"Please allow me to argue." Li Mo bowed to Emperor Jiajing again, then turned around and strode towards Zhu Pingan, stood in front of Zhu Pingan and asked aggressively, "As you said, the people do not add taxes, that's it.
Doubling the national treasury, yes or no?”
"Yes." Zhu Pingan nodded.
"Absurd! Da Miao!" Li Mo couldn't help scolding Zhu Pingan after hearing this. If Zhu Pingan hadn't turned away in time, he would have been sprayed by Li Mo!
"The wealth and goods produced by heaven and earth are only limited to this amount. They are not with the people but with the officials! If the people add taxes, the country will be rich. If the people reduce taxes, the country will have few resources! What you said is just a disguised form of taxes on the people. It is particularly harmful.
Traitors who are disrupting the country! During the Western Han Dynasty, Sang Touhong once mentioned this theory. The people did not add taxes and the country used it. Why did they do it? It was forbidden to make money privately and sell salt and iron exclusively. It was just a disguised form of exploiting the people's power! Water can carry a boat.
It can also capsize the boat, and the people's strength is completely exploited, chaos and chaos arise, and rebellions continue!"
"You, the top scholar, do not want to serve the country, but become a traitor to the country. What are your intentions?!"
Li Mo got very angry and pointed at Zhu Pingan and cursed him loudly. He classified Zhu Pingan as a traitor who was rebellious to the country and put him on the traitor's cross, stepping on thousands of feet!
"Your Majesty said that the wealth and goods produced by heaven and earth are only limited to this number. They are not with the people but with the officials. I deeply believe this." Zhu Ping'an seemed to be blind and deaf, and he criticized and cursed Li Mo fiercely.
Wen Wen's tone was gentle and indifferent, which was in sharp contrast to the blushing and thick-necked Li Mo.
"I don't need you to flatter me!"
Li Mo was deeply impressed by what Zhu Pingan said about him, and was very dissatisfied. He felt that Zhu Pingan was too rude and shameless. After flattering the emperor, he came to flatter himself. Ni played, I
I don’t want to fall for your tricks!
Hahaha
The flattery is on the horse's leg. I wonder if we Mr. Li are the most opposed to this kind of flattery in the sensory field!
After listening to Li Mo's words, many officials laughed softly. While laughing, they looked at Zhu Pingan, thinking that Zhu Pingan was a "idiot" in capital letters! It's all like this, returning the people without giving them any taxes but doubling the treasury!
Under the laughter of everyone and the disdainful look of Li Mo, Zhu Ping'an just shook his head and smiled, then raised his hands to Li Mo and said: "Your Excellency, you are overthinking it. Ping'an is just what your Excellency just said, 'Everything is produced by heaven and earth.
As long as there are such numbers, it’s not about the people but it’s about the officials.” This makes sense.”
What Li Mo means by this sentence is that there is a lot of wealth in the world, and the wealth is either in the people or in the country. The implication is that if the country is rich, it must be because the people's taxes have increased, or
It exploited the people in disguise.
"I think so much. Haha, you said what I said was right. Then what you said about the people not increasing taxes and the national treasury doubling, isn't it a great Mute? Then what you said to His Majesty, the people didn't increase taxes but the treasury doubled, isn't it true?
Do you know that you are guilty of deceiving the emperor and ignoring your superiors?!" Li Mo was very disdainful of Zhu Pingan's answer. He seized on the loopholes in Zhu Pingan's words and directly charged Zhu Pingan with deceiving the emperor and ignored his superiors, and aggressively accused Zhu Pingan.
Safety.
If he were an ordinary person, under the pressure of Li Mo's momentum, he would have abandoned his armor long ago!
However, Zhu Pingan was different. Looking at the aggressive Li Mo, Zhu Pingan just shook his head gently, very calm and composed.
"What your Excellency said is reasonable, and what Ping'an said is also reasonable. I am loyal to my Holy Majesty, so how can I dare to deceive you and ignore my superior." Zhu Pingan calmly shook his head and said.
"Absurd, if what I say makes sense, you are just lying!" Li Mo was furious.
"It's either this or that? Why can't it be either this or that? Please forgive me for being rude." Zhu Ping'an said calmly, and then bowed his hands to Li Mo and said, "My lord said, 'Everything is produced by heaven and earth.
This is the only thing that can be said. If it is not with the people, it is with the officials. It makes sense, but it is also biased."
"What I said is biased?" Li Mo laughed angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to my explanation. If what I said is reasonable, please forgive me. If what I said is unreasonable, then I will apologize to the Holy One." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands and said.
"I'll just listen to you." Li Mo didn't even look at Zhu Ping'an seriously.
"The so-called rational person, the best is like water, and the lower officials will use water as an example. The wealth and goods produced by the heaven and earth are limited to this number. If they are not among the people, they are in the officials. If the river is compared to the wealth and goods in the world, then the upstream can be compared to
The official, the lower stream is likened to the people. The amount of water in the river is constant. If there is more water flowing upstream, there will be less water flowing downstream. Therefore, what the lower official said makes sense." Zhu Ping'an explained.
Huh, Li Mo snorted coldly, acquiescing to Zhu Ping'an's words.
"The so-called unreasonable thing, I would like to use water as an example. A river is a place for wealth and goods, the upper stream is for officials, and the lower stream is for people. The basis of what you say is reasonable is that there is such a river. If there is another river nearby at this time,
If Xiaguan introduced water from another river into the upper reaches of the river we used as an example, wouldn't it mean that there would be more water in the upper reaches, but there would be no need to reduce the water in the lower reaches, because water from another river was introduced into the upper reaches of the river." Zhu Pingan continued.
Huh?
After listening to Zhu Pingan's metaphor, some officials couldn't help but let out a sigh of realization. In the past, they were limited to one river, but forgot about other nearby rivers. When Zhu Pingan said this, they felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened.
Feel.
"You are quibbling." Li Mo snorted coldly and shook off his sleeves vigorously.
"It is the same reason that the official said that the national treasury will be doubled without increasing the wealth of the people. Why should we keep focusing on our Ming Dynasty? There are countless wealth besides our Ming Dynasty. What the official said is that the people will not be increased.
Taxation, but the wealth of other countries can be introduced into the treasury of our Ming Dynasty. In this way, our treasury will be doubled, but there will be no need to increase taxes on the people."
Zhu Ping'an stood there watching Li Mo and the ministers talk, as if he had some kind of halo around him, and he felt like he stood out from the crowd. (To be continued.)
