In September of the eighth year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor led the vassal kings, ministers, civil officials, and military generals to the Jinling City worship of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty. The whole process was broadcast live in the Daming Daily in a written form, and it was quickly published and published nationwide.

In addition, court officials and gentry in the wild also wrote articles to record this matter, and highly affirmed and praised Your Majesty's loyalty and filial piety. Officials from all over the country have also built the ancestral halls of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty, in various towns and markets.

I don’t know that the man who boldly opened the first store to produce and sell portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and even Zhu Youxiao and books related to him.

Logically speaking, this act of blaspheming the king's sage has already committed a serious crime.

But the people are very interested in the portraits or other elements of this national leader, and the market capacity is large. After the first person to try it out, relevant businesses emerged like mushrooms after a rain.

But just as there are more and more shops of this type are attracting the attention of the upper class, even the admiral of the East Factory Liu Ruyu is preparing to take measures to report the request for such bad winds to Zhu Youxiao.

However, unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao directly rejected the proposal of Dongchang Admiral Liu Ruoyu, and did not agree with the people from Dongchang to punish these merchants, but ordered the people from Dongchang to adopt a tacit attitude.

According to Zhu Youxiao's intention, as long as people do not slander or insult the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, folk scholars and common people can be allowed to worship.

People always need to believe in it, and in the Ming Dynasty, many people were more deified and even emperors and generals. Since this is the case, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were treated as gods by the people.

Because it is a god, the heart is awe, and because of awe, the country is stable, so why not do it?

However, Zhu Youxiao's great fanfare in sacrificing Xiaoling Mausoleum and promoting it through newspapers and magazines is not only a driving force for the commercial economy, but more importantly, it is reflected in the political sense.

This is equivalent to reawakening and enhancing the sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and allowing them to know clearly once again who gave this peaceful era. Zhu Youxiao's orthodoxy is also affirmative and unquestionable.

Since the fourth year of the Tianqi period, Zhu Youxiao has used the East Factory and the Jinyiwei as minions, valued eunuchs, strengthened imperial power, and suppressed civil servants, which made many people, under the guidance of gentry who had the right to speak, the current emperor became an absolute foolish monarch, which would only bring disasters and misfortunes to the people. He even began to question the orthodox nature of today's son, and began to believe that Zhu Ming was about to die, and there were more and more forces who were ready to move, and there were no more heroes who were secretly prepared to rise and dominate the world in the future.

Now, by sacrificing the Xiaoling Mausoleum, we can at least let the whole world know that at least now, the entire Chinese country is still from the Ming Dynasty.

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao was the legal ruler of this land!

Not only did he declare his orthodoxy through this sacrificial activity, Zhu Youxiao also specially gave material benefits to the people of the world on the 300th birthday of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Transfer my order, and the people's land tax will be reduced by half next year! Abolish corvee labor! To encourage farmers and sericultures!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's order was published in the newspaper and was clearly published, the people of the world rushed to tell each other.

The land tax in the Ming Dynasty is not high, and now half of the exemption is even lower, but this is nothing. For farmers, the real benefit is the abolition of corvee labor.

Working for free for the government has always been equally valued with taxes for thousands of years, but it is even more unbearable than the latter.

Not only did you pay free labor for corvee, you also had to bear the expenses along the way and delay the farming time, which reduced your annual harvest. Apart from this, you could not let your hands create more wealth during the busy farming period.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao permanently abolished corvee service on the 300th anniversary of the birth of Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty was not only to give favors to the common people to alleviate class conflicts, but also to give greater liberation of their hands.

In this ancient agricultural country, the two identities of farmers and workers are often integrated.

After more than two hundred years of development in the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economy has become a high-level in its contemporary era. Now, under the butterfly effect of Zhu Youxiao, a modern human, a trust economy has even emerged.

The demand for labor is even stronger, and the increase in wealth always requires people to create.

If the hands of these farmers who can be converted into workers at any time are not liberated, the entire Ming Dynasty commercial exhibition will be limited.

The abolition of corvee service, although the court cannot use free labor to build various projects from then on, and may cause greater project construction costs due to hiring civilians.

But compared with the wealth created after liberating their hands, Zhu Youxiao asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to do statistics. Once the corvee service is exempted, only millions of people in the entire capital area can go to the city to work and create a value of tens of millions of silver dollars.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao asked the Minister of Works, Huo Weihua, to tentatively build the project by hiring civil servants since the seventh year of the revelation. What is surprising is that because the wages given to civil servants are calculated based on his daily labor, the enthusiasm of civil servants in the entire construction process is quite high. After all, the more they do, the more money they make.

In this way, the construction period of the project will be greatly shortened, and the cost will be reduced a lot. Because wages are not only linked to quantity but also to quality, the quality of the project will also be improved a lot.

This year's spring flood in the Huaihe River Basin did not cause major disasters, which was related to the fact that Huo Weihua just hired tens of thousands of civilians to build a several-kilometer-long section of river embankment along the coast last year.

"The abolition of corvee service is an epoch-making gift. Only by being a disciple of the Ming Dynasty can you enjoy this blessing and be grateful to my emperor!"

Zhang Dai, the head of Daming Daily, wrote such a comment on the front page.

The people naturally applauded, and they recognized this real benefit. Zhu Youxiao let his pen be exempted from labor service, and in a moment, the people all over the world knew about his existence.

Some people have even begun to plan whether they should go to the city to find a job this year.

But most gentry officials remained silent at this moment. They lost the opportunity to exploit, and they could no longer use free labor in the name of corvee service, and even lost the opportunity to force the people to do corvee service on busy farming hours and force them to lose their entire family to seize their land.

However, no officials proposed an action against Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao's collection of commercial taxes can be called a fight for profit with the people, but Zhu Youxiao is now exempting the people from labor service, so he can't say anything.

Otherwise, the people of the whole world would probably not forgive him.

The mute eats coptis chinensis and cannot say what he has to suffer. What these gentry don’t know is that since corvee labor has been exempted and land tax has been reduced, the commercial tax will probably have to be increased.

The land tax is reduced by one point but less than a few million silver dollars. However, if the commercial tax is collected by one point, it can increase tens of millions of silver dollars. Zhu Youxiao, who refuses to suffer losses, naturally wants to recover the losses in the former in the latter.
