Zhu Xu put down the teacup and from his eyes, he could see most of Bi Ziyan's side face.

Cold and indifferent.

Bi Ziyan looked down at the "manuscript" in his hand, and his eyebrows never let go.

The other adults were also waiting for the cabinet's "business" plan.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, strict commercial laws have been established, and restrictions, discrimination and harshness are unprecedented. Even at this time, the national government is corrupt, many laws and regulations are abolished and useless, but discrimination against merchants has been deeply rooted, and merchants are still the lowest-end group, even craftsmen are not as good as craftsmen!

In the past few years, in order to obtain the normal status of the imperial examination for their children, the big salt merchants in various places made a great fuss. The court had no choice but to give them a "quota", and the huge and demanding legal system has not changed.

However, today's emperors and courts are determined to reform, and commercial law must be the top priority!

How would Mr. Bi speak?

Everyone was watching and waiting.

Bi Ziyan has been saying it for about two hours, and although he doesn't feel sore, he feels really uncomfortable.

He took a sip of tea and boosted his spirits, saying: "Commerce is the oldest business. It has been more than two thousand years since its operation. Some dynasty is important and some harsh business. When our dynasty was established, there were many regulations on business. Today, it has been abandoned and not yet existed. After many discussions, the court decided to formulate a more feasible, safe and perfect business law covering all aspects. From the perspective of government affairs management, scope, types, taxes, areas, prices, etc., to make it compliant, legal and effective and sustainable..."

Everyone listened silently and felt relieved. Bi Ziyan said "outstanding and insightful". The actual content was completely gone, and the specific measures were still in the future, and the "to be discussed".

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, blinked, and looked calm.

Bi Ziyan continued: "The Cabinet will establish a direct commercial management department to ensure the stable development of business. The State Administration of Taxation is responsible for all commercial taxes. Separation of tax and government is the consistent principle of the court, and local governments shall not be affiliated with..."

"The discriminatory regulations on food, clothing, housing and transportation for merchants will be abolished, especially the imperial examination, and there will be no restrictions on the restrictions..."

Speaking of this, Bi Ziyan frowned slightly and paused.

The geniuses in the hall couldn't help but look at each other with a worried look.

Who are merchants? They forget their righteousness when they see profits, buy low and sell high. They are extremely unbearable groups of people in terms of law and etiquette. Will the court in the future stand with such people?

He is covered in stinking and dirty!

Bi Ziyan continued to say that Zhu Xu's eyes were calm and swept across everyone in the hall. He could read one or two of their expressions, eyes and deep thoughts.

"Finish."

After a long time, Bi Ziyan looked at everyone, his face was as usual, and he said with a sigh of relief.

He did not move. According to the established agenda, the next time was the time for the officials to "question" from him. He had to give a good answer and then make a "vote for confidence" to the cabinet. Those who were less than half would be automatically dismissed and would not be allowed to take office again in the future!

All the officials also knew that after looking at the paper in front of them, they looked up at Bi Ziyan, and then turned to Zhu Xu, all their expressions were slightly condensed.

Bi Ziyan's "manuscript" must have been passed by the emperor. If they object, wouldn't it be equivalent to opposing the emperor?

Sun Chuanting looked around and looked at Zhu Xu. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Xu suddenly coughed and said, "I'll add a few more words."

Everyone looked slightly shocked, some people stood up habitually, and even Bi Ziyan turned around and looked at Zhu Xu with a slightly constrained look.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Sit down, I will just say a few words."

The officials in the hall looked very calm and felt uneasy. They looked at Zhu Xu anxiously, so arrogant that they didn't dare to breathe.

Zhu Xu sat there, without anger and said, "First point, about the 'New Policy'... This is not my own business, nor is it what I have to do alone. This is what all the people of the Ming Dynasty are looking forward to and long for. From the beginning of Zhang Juzheng's reform, it means that my Ming Dynasty needs reform and is urgent! I am entrusted by all the people to govern the whole world, and I will do things for the people, for the country, and do things that others dare not do! The ancestors and ancestors are ahead, and the history is recorded in the future, and we are all staring at us. Apart from "decisive determination" and "go ahead", there is no second way to go! I will never allow the 'New Policy' to be discounted, and I will not allow the regression! Whoever dares to oppose me on the 'New Policy' is to kill all the people in the world. I will never agree. All the officials of the Ming Dynasty do not agree, and the two million troops of the Ming Dynasty do not agree either!"

Zhu Xu's words landed soundly and powerfully, echoing throughout the hall.

Everyone did not say anything silently. The emperor was warning and swore to express his firm attitude to all officials in the world.

Zhu Xu ignored their thoughts and said, "The second point is the law. The chaos in the past century of the Ming Dynasty is because of the lack of law and regulations and the abolition of discipline. I hope that all the people here can keep their original hearts and not be tempted, know where the road is and which direction should they go! I and the court will establish a more comprehensive and strict inspection system to crack down on all incorrect mental skills and corrupt officials! On this point, the local government must maintain absolute consistency with the court, and no exceptions are allowed!"

It is easy to hear a needle falling in the hall. Today's emperors rarely speak in front of everyone, but once they say it, no one can ignore it, otherwise they will be in trouble!

“Third point,”

Zhu Xu paused for a moment and said, "'agricultural affairs' is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. In the reform involving 'agricultural affairs', the local government must be at the forefront. It's not me. The court forced you to do things. The court used ten years to make it, and you only made three points. Even the court made a plan and you were still yelling that this was not OK. Is it because there is a problem with the 'agricultural affairs' of the court, or do you don't want to touch it or do it? This is what I said. Before you left the capital, you wrote a memorial for me. If it was not well written or not profound, you would stay in the capital. I will teach you in person with strokes and strokes!"

Cold sweat broke out on everyone's heads, and as they guessed, the emperor was angry!

In the hall, there was not even a loud breath, and a cold feeling flowed.

“Fourth point,”

Zhu Xu paused this time for a long time and said, "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the first part of our Ming Dynasty. Each part contributes to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. These cannot be erased. Now, our Ming Dynasty needs the efforts and support of everyone in the Ming Dynasty. I abolish the lowly family to release craftsmen and release their energy. The formulation of the "commercial law" is to give merchants freedom. Now, the annual commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty adds up to nearly 10 million taels of silver in all aspects. This money accounts for more than one-third of the national treasury. Have you ever thought about what this means to the court? If this part is not available, how serious will the consequences be?"

"In addition to commercial laws, I have also decided to open up the maritime ban from this year and encourage business trips to the sea. This is a national policy. Local officials are not allowed to hinder or restrict policies, governance, or even verbally... Local governments must maintain complete consistency with the court's policies, but if anyone dares to confront the court and me, the rules are as iron as possible and the law is not merciless!"

The hall was very quiet and the heart was beating like thunder.
Chapter completed!
