The crown ceremony was one of the important etiquette systems in ancient times. It was the etiquette for men who entered the ranks of adults and an important part of the social life of the ancients. The crown ceremony belongs to the "Five Etiquettes". The crown ceremony is a kind of hat worn by adult men of ancient nobles. A grand ceremony was held to add crowns to men, and the crown ceremony gradually developed and formed.

People in this era have always valued the crown rituals, and this time they were still giving the emperor a crown rituals, so they naturally took it even more seriously.

The main contents and rituals of the emperor's crown ceremony mainly include: divination day, report, crown and uniform, add numbers, temple (celebration hall), furnishings, deacons, guest praise, music, ceremony, greetings to the queen mother, visiting the temple and meeting the ministers, etc.

Zhu Yijun has already received the entire process of the ceremony. The memorials of the Ministry of Rites are written in detail. Zhang Hong is responsible for the Sili Supervisor, so there must be no mistakes.

The Ministry of Works was a coffin and garments, the Hanlin Academy wrote a ritual and annotated articles of the Ministry of Rites. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat ordered a certain official to take charge of the Taishi and a certain official to take charge of the Taiwei. After the day of the day, he sent an official to report to the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple.

Zhu Yijun didn't have to participate in these processes, and there were people below to do it.

The position of the Grand Tutor is naturally Zhang Juzheng, and no one can compete with him. As for the Grand Tutor, it is the British Duke Zhang Rong.

The day before the official ceremony, the Inner Envoy Chief Zhang Hong and Chen Yuguan were in the middle of Fengtian Hall, and the south was set up with a crown and garment case and a treasure case. The Shiyi Department had a Taishi, and the Taiwei lived in the south, facing the west, and was located in the inner road of Danji. The Shiyi Department had a Taishi. The Taiwei lived in the south of Wenlou, facing the west, and the worship was located in the inner road of Danji. The Shiyi Tai was located in the west of the Yushi in the hall, and the wash was located in the west of Danbi. The officials and deacons were ranked like the Great Court.

On the day of the official ceremony, Zhu Yijun got up early all day, and it would be impossible not to get up early. Everyone is paying attention to the ceremony.

Listening to the three drum sounds outside, Zhu Yijun knew that all officials should come in at this time.

The etiquette of the crown ceremony was very complicated and it was very late. Both Zhu Yijun and all officials were very tired. Fortunately, "all officials praised the congratulations and were given a banquet to the palace" was the next day. If this was placed at night, Zhu Yijun was afraid that the elders would not be able to hold on.

The next day, all officials praised the congratulations and gave them banquets to the palace, so that Zhu Yijun's ceremony was completed.

Originally, Zhu Yijun thought the court would make a fuss about his own rule, but he didn't expect that the court would be taken out at all because another thing triggered the court, and the whole thing originated from a memorial.

The person who submitted this memorial was Hu Ke Tuo. The content of this memorial was not complicated at all, nor was it about anyone involved, but about one thing, which was a whip method.

In the hall, civil and military ministers were arranged on both sides. Zhang Juzheng stood in a big red python robe, standing at the head of the civil ministers with expressionless face, quietly listening to Zhang Hong reciting the memorial there, with a calm expression, feeling that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his expression remained unchanged.

The memorial in Zhang Hong's hand was the director of the Husbandou Sect. This person has been a little famous recently. After all, he is one of the most optimistic censors among Zhang Juzheng, and he is very popular now.

"The method of taxes and service is that taxes belong to the land and serve people. The taxes in summer and autumn are based on the fertility and sterilization of the land. When the silver is different, it is the legacy of the service. If the strength is poor, it is the way to force service. If the households are taxed, it is called equal labor, and the service is determined, and there is no connection with the land."

"At the end of Jiajing, a whip method was created, regardless of the wealth, and a single levy. Even the silver, power and the household registration and salt banknotes were merged into the land, but Ding Li did not make any predictions. Merchants enjoyed the benefits of chasing the last, and farmers lost their desire to live happily, which was very inconvenient for the people."

To put it bluntly, this memorial is to promote the one-whip method, and it is clear that it is necessary to implement the one-whip method.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Juzheng, who was alive and sighed in his heart. This matter finally came. After five years of layout and five years of preparation, Zhang Juzheng felt that the time was ripe and he was ready to do a big shot.

This part of Guangmao emphasized is that the collection of taxes and labor services is directly handled by local officials, abolishing the "people's collection and civil servant" system that originally handled taxes and labor services through grain chiefs and village chiefs, and changed it to the "official final" system.

In Zhu Yijun's opinion, it is useless to change this thing or not. The final explanation of the official position is not much better than that of the people.

Of course, Zhu Yijun also understood Zhang Juzheng's idea. He was working on two-pronged approaches, one-whip method and the exam method must be both strong. If you cannot collect taxes, the exam method is waiting for you, but Zhang Juzheng forgot one thing, that is, absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

Perhaps it was not Zhang Juzheng who forgot, but he didn't expect this at all.

As a civil servant, Zhang Juzheng still thought about the civil servant's style and had the persistence of the civil servant in his heart.

Officials collect taxes, who are paying taxes? They are not gentry, where are the officials from? They are not gentry. If officials collect their own taxes, it would be strange if they can be collected. The one-whip method is not that scary, nor does it stimulate the gentry's nerves.

At best, the one-whip method is to pay grain and pay silver. This thing is good at collecting grain with money and slashing the price when it dies. If you don’t sell it, you will have no money to pay taxes. People grit their teeth and want to sell it. If they really can’t afford it, they can only sell land. When officials and gentry collude, the people will have no way to survive.

If you sell land and persons as tenants, if you suffer natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people will be unable to fill their stomachs in an instant. This is how the disaster victims and refugees come.

What really excites people is the land of Qingzhang proposed by Zhang Juzheng. In this era, it was normal for gentry to not pay taxes.

They held up signs that preferential treatment of scholars and supported the ancestral system, and blatantly did not pay taxes. In fact, there are restrictions on tax exemption for gentry, not that you are exempt from any tax. But the actual situation is that no tax is collected in any land under the name of gentry.

This leads to the trend of offering. As long as a village or town is released, everyone will transfer the land to his name in an instant, and then rent it back to plant it. The land does not need to be paid tax, but only a small amount of land rent is required to be paid to the juren, which is much more cost-effective than farming by himself.

It can be said that everyone in the world is enjoying this big meal, and the country is the emperor who suffers.

The land that can be collected is getting less and less taxable. Every three years the imperial examinations reduced countless taxable land for the Ming Dynasty. A poor scholar, but as long as he passed the imperial examination, he immediately became a landlord and a gentry who passed on his family.

Zhang Juzheng's land for clearing the account clearly means taking out the land you have hidden.

Except for the part that should be exempted from taxes, you have to pay taxes for the rest. Whether it is a gentry or an official, this approach will naturally be the enemy of the whole world. It is a big mistake for the gentry to face Zhang Juzheng and not want to kill him.

This method is to cut the meat of the gentry to increase the country's income and achieve the goal of enriching the country.
