Chapter 52 Tentative Rules

Turning his head to look at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun asked, "Is this true, or is it something that happened after your East Factory verified?"

When Zhang Jing saw Zhu Yijun staring at him, he felt a little embarrassed. When he said this, he was stared at by the emperor. Zhang Jing was naturally nervous and swallowed. Zhang Jing said, "It is true that Wu Dui and the third lady have a good personal relationship."

"It's true that the third lady can go to and from Wu Dui's military camp at will."

"It's just that whether the two people have a relationship with each other is not able to detect this Dongchang."

Zhu Yijun nodded and then smiled. Wu Dui and the third lady might be a little sympathetic, but Zhu Yijun felt it was doubtful. When the two countries had good relations in later generations, their leaders also said that they were good friends with each other.

But when it really comes to a turn of the situation, I still don’t hesitate at all.

After waved his hand, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Okay, there is no need to mention these things that make mistakes. I don't care about the affairs of a man and a woman, and I have to worry about any messy things? As long as Wu Dui does not mislead the matter."

Zhu Yijun told Zhang Jing that he should not take such a bad thing as a matter of fact, and I don’t value it. But don’t stop Wu Dui’s surveillance. If he really makes a mistake, then you are talking about it.

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang Jing agreed and said respectfully.

After finishing the court's work, the court has no major problems for the time being, but Zhu Yijun has something to do, so he is ready to put the training of the Beijing camp on the agenda. Although it is not realistic to rely on the Beijing camp to face the front, it cannot be put there and put it in a bad way.

Exciting the elderly and weak, clearing up those who are vacant, impersonating the names, and strictly enforcing military discipline are all things that need to be done.

As for whether you can fight in the future, Zhu Yijun is going to take it out and fight. If you break up, you will rebuild it based on the veterans. Anyway, you can't get a dog meat on the table, so don't put it up. This method is much simpler than disbanding on the spot.

If it is really disbanded and eliminated, it will cause great turmoil, and Zhu Yijun doesn't want to do that.

After the Ming Dynasty, there were opportunities for war, but were you afraid that you would not have the opportunity to temper them?

The capital was a bit cold these days, with clouds piled up in the sky. In the morning, snowflakes finally fell down, and it was not small. It seemed that it would take a few days. As soon as several cabinet ministers arrived at the cabinet, the eunuchs in the palace came to pass the order, and the emperor summoned several cabinet ministers to discuss matters.

The four cabinet ministers led by Lu Diaoyang came to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. As soon as they came in, the four people saw Zhu Yijun sitting on the dragon throne.

Seeing that the four people were about to salute, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's so snowy and the weather is cold and freezing, so don't give me any gifts! My dear friends, please take good care of your health. If you have nothing to do, go to the Imperial Hospital for a walk."

"Bian Que has old things in Duke Huan of Cai. I still rely on several of my dear ministers, but I need to take care of myself!"

After hearing this, the four of them bowed and said, "I am waiting for you to thank the Emperor!"

The atmosphere was also relaxed. When the four of them saw Zhu Yijun's attitude, they knew that the emperor was looking for four of them this time, which was definitely not a reprimand. Now the four of them were worried that something would stimulate the young emperor. Everyone came from their youth, so they naturally knew that young people were full of energy and were prone to impulsiveness.

If everyone has an unhappy relationship during this period when Zhang Juzheng is away, it will be troublesome.

Zhu Yijun glanced at the four people and said with a smile: "I am going to train the Beijing camp. I wonder what my dear friends think?"

Several people were stunned. Why were they thinking about training the Beijing camp? There was no sign at all! Lu Diaoyang couldn't help but look at Zhang Jing, who was down and delighted behind Zhu Yijun. Could it be that these eunuchs were the ones who were doing it?

The emperor could not have suddenly had such an idea. Someone must have said something!

When Zhu Yijun saw them looking at Zhang Jing, he smiled and said, "I heard that there are many people who are vacancies in the Beijing camp, and there are also those who are falsely accepted. I want to check and train them. After all, it is the Beijing camp, and it is too dissatisfied and not suitable!"

When the incident happened suddenly, the four of them were confused for a moment, so they all sat there and began to ponder.

Zhu Yijun looked at the four people and did not urge him. He knew that the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic system was fatal. Perhaps the Ming Dynasty did not have the power to dominate the court, but the bureaucratic system was fatal to the people, but the area where this bureaucratic system was fatal to the people was more terrifying than the powerful ministers.

You can eliminate the powerful ministers, but this kind of bureaucratic and scholar system cannot be eradicated.

The key is that you can't eradicate it. All scholars and officials in the world are these people. If you want to use them, what do you use to eradicate it? What they do is to make rules, and this power is much more deadly than the superficial power.

The court all came from six ministries and nine ministers to local governors and magistrates, and these people were succumbed to the rules they established.

Once the emperor wants to break this rule, it will be difficult. The key is not that you destroy it, but that you want to use this system to weaken their interests. People in later generations know that only those who make rules can truly say the final word.

Can the emperor? Anyway, Zhu Yijun doesn’t feel that he has the ability now.

Not to mention anything else, it is just a tax collection. If you suddenly abolish the tax exemption of scholars, you can see if it is messy.

Zhang Juzheng only paid off the land and recovered the tax arrears, which did not touch the core interests of scholars. If you want to abolish the tax exemption system of scholars, you can try it. Moreover, the abolition must start with the relatives and nobles of the vassal kings and clans in various places, and basically it is an enemy of the world.

Paying off the land and recovering arrears are all things within the scope of their rules. However, abolishing the tax exemption system means subverting and re-forming the rules.

The tax exemption system rule is the welfare benefit Zhu Yuanzhang gave to scholars, but it has long been Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention for so many years. Everyone agreed with the rule that he would not pay taxes as long as he was a scholar, and he also maintained it himself.

They didn't care much about sending Wei Zhongxian to blackmail. After all, bribery and bribery are the unspoken rules of the officialdom. In addition, this is for individuals, and it is nothing more than some money and cannot be considered a touching rule.

But what about the eunuchs sent to various places to collect mining taxes? They were not beaten to death, or were they colluded with local officials and gentry.

What can Emperor Wanli do? Although it is equivalent to rebellion, what can you do? Send a large army to wipe out? Don’t joke. This is just a mining tax, confiscating farmland tax. You can try it if you play a stall and a dime.

Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was able to play with the dike. First, the founding of the country was short, and there were a group of loyal soldiers and officials.

Secondly, Emperor Kangxi took care of everything from Oboi to the Three Feudalists, and when he conquered the world, he killed a large number of gentry. Without these gentry, there were also Manchu ministers. What would Zhu Yijun have? There was nothing.

If you order the Forbidden City is out, you will be entitled to whether the people below will give you the right to make rules. Only then will you be qualified to play the game.

The emperor formulates a system as a rule, but whether this rule can be implemented can be followed by whether the people below follow it or not, and how to abide by it. Now you want to take the mine tax and tea tax, and the people below will rebound.

Kill the person you collect taxes and see who will still collect and who will dare to collect.

Zhu Yijun didn't believe that local officials didn't know, nor did he believe that local officials could not control it. The so-called county magistrate who destroyed the family and the imperial magistrate who destroyed the family, but they not only ignored it, but also chose to join forces. At the worst, they turned a blind eye.

This is the terrible rule. Emperor Wanli could punish these local officials or kill them, but the result would not be very good.

On the one hand, officials from all over the court will oppose it, but on the other hand, it will easily cause civil unrest.

People nowadays don’t know that you collect taxes for their own benefit. Why do private investments become ready-made? Because after investing in cash, you don’t have to pay national taxes. You only need to pay land rent that is cheaper than national taxes.

The land rent is even half lower than the national tax, so the people naturally know how to choose.

But once the year of natural disasters comes, the landlord will not distribute disaster relief food to you. At most, it will be fine if you exempt your land rent. Even those who are unwilling will force you to sell land and children. At this time, you will remember that the court has come.

All disaster relief food and relief were required, but there was no tax and the court had no money.

So there were refugees. When they couldn't eat, someone should be shouting, "The court will not give us a way out!", and then they came with a knife to find themselves, the emperor, to fight desperately.

If you don't untie this lump, you will never have to think about collecting taxes.

Why is the saying that "everything is inferior to the level of study" recognized by everyone? It is not that you respect knowledge so much, but that reading can change your destiny. Once you pass the imperial examination, not to mention a Jinshi, just a Juren, that is a great business for you.

The Juren basically doesn’t have to pay taxes on his land. Even if he is a pauper, he will become a fertile land overnight.

Every year by collecting land rent, he can live in a tall courtyard and eight living rooms.

The emperor wanted to abolish the tax exemption system, that was to dig this root again, and the officials would agree? They all came here like this. Even if industry and commerce were aroused and capital was transferred from the land, the commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as agricultural tax.

The court could not say taxes. Apart from creating a large number of wealthy families, it was useless. It was simply a tax system.

If you want to challenge the rules, you must first be familiar with the rules. Zhu Yijun is making this attempt now. He wants to touch the style of the Ming officials through this contact. The four people in front of him are the objects Zhu Yijun is going to observe.

These four people are cabinet ministers in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and top scholars. Zhu Yijun wanted to touch their pulse, and this time the three camps were a starting point.

This time, the official Zhu Yijun wanted was the admiral, not the governor, but the admiral. Zhu Yijun wanted to set up an admiral position in the three camps. If it could succeed, it would succeed. If it didn't, it would be considered a temptation.
