Chapter 662

After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Jiajing was very shocked and agreed with what Zhang Hao said. Then he looked at the ministers and said, "You have heard what Zhang Hao said just now. Our Ming Dynasty is still full of dangers, including Tatars, Japanese pirates, and internal forces. Among them, the most threatening is the internal forces.

Internal chaos needs to be fundamentally solved, not just suppression, suppression cannot solve the problem. Can suppression solve the rebellion of the people in all dynasties by repression? Therefore, it is still necessary to improve the living standards of the people. As Shen Yong said, it is necessary to make those workshop owners produce well! Zhang Hao, can there be a specific solution?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao, and other ministers also looked at Zhang Hao.

"Yes, you can set up a workshop area in Beijing and Tianjin, that is, a workshop is set up here, with tax reductions and exemptions. In addition, those goods are sold in China and cannot be collected in various places. The tax has been collected in the court. If the local government continues to collect taxes, it will be illegal and the court can investigate and deal with it.

Now all the officials in our country want to collect taxes on passing goods. This is not possible. Although the people are harmed, they are still in the court in the end. After all, the people cannot afford those goods, so there is no tax in the court!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.

"Well, a good idea, Yan Song, what do you think?" Jiajing thought about it after hearing this, nodded and said.

"I also agree that taxation is indeed very chaotic. As Lu Anhou said, if it can be unified, it will be beneficial for our Ming Dynasty, and for the people! In addition, the proposal to set up a workshop area is also good. As a pilot, I think it is OK!" Yan Song immediately bowed and said, and the other ministers nodded.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best to let King Yu manage this area. His Royal Highness personally supervise it. I believe that the ministers below dare not do anything randomly, and local officials dare not do anything randomly!" Zhang Hao immediately suggested.

"Okay, Zhang Hao, you write the memorial immediately. After writing it, I will read it for me. Then I will approve it. How much will it cost? I will pay it here!" Jiajing said happily when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed and continued to talk about other things.

The next day, Jiajing continued to inspect the vicinity of Tangshan and found that those who worked in the workshop were all pretty good, but the people who farmed were still very poor. They just said that it was impossible to have enough food, but they could eat well and dress well.

In the next few days, Jiajing inspected Hebei Road. The farther away from those areas in the capital, the poorer the people lived.

But the people said that His Majesty was good, and they had the land to give them land to plant, so that they could eat enough to avoid starving.

Along the way, Jiajing's face was not very good, and the ministers also discovered that no one dared to speak at this time. It was unwise to know that it would be difficult to provoke Jiajing at this time.

On the last day, Jiajing's convoy was almost at the capital and was resting in a small county town.

Jiajing greeted Zhang Hao and the others to come and sit down. When the ministers saw that Jiajing looked bad, they didn't dare to speak.

"Zhang Hao, did you see it?" Jiajing sat there and poured tea for Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, I saw it!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed and said.

"Then let's solve it. I hope that all the people in the world can live a good life. I hope you solve this matter. Also, King Yu, you take him to the south. I want King Yu to know how the people in the world live!

He must be clear in his heart. If I don’t come here this time, I always think that the people’s lives are good, they wear warm clothes and can eat meat. However, when I see this time, I know that I am wrong, it’s ridiculous!" Jiajing sat there and sighed.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do about this!" Zhang Hao said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I am the one who has dereliction of duty!" Yan Song and the others immediately stood up and bowed.

"You are dereliction of duty. You are indeed ashamed of the official uniform on your body. I gave the world to you before, so you will make me look like this. If it weren't for me to come down to see you in person, if others told me, I wouldn't believe it at all!" Jiajing looked at them without a good face at this moment.

Several of them lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Zhang Hao, how much does that workshop area cost, what land, and what policies are needed? You tell me that I support you. In addition, I am planning to continue to exempt people from taxes and exempt people from the world for another three years, especially farmers, must be exempted from taxes. I will also complete the work of Yongyetian, so that every citizen has his own acre of land!" Jiajing sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Hao immediately bowed and said.

"Tartars, if they don't come to provoke us, we won't fight back. Now we need to improve the lives of the people. Japanese pirates must completely solve them. Now the tariffs at several checkpoints in our court can bring 8 million taels of taxes to our Ming Dynasty, which is enough for the court. If the sea is opened, I believe that the tax revenue is higher. Therefore, we must have a priority in this matter!" Jiajing sat there and said to Zhang Hao.

"Yes!" Zhang Hao continued to bow his hand and said.

"Well, sit down. I will leave all the matters about the industrial zone to King Yu and Zhang Hao. If you need anyone on Zhang Hao, you will release him. What area you need to be vacant, and you will just do it.

The people are too poor and we need to change. Therefore, your cabinet will discuss this plan at that time. If anyone dares to stop or oppose it, don’t blame me for being rude!” Jiajing stared at Yan Song and the others and said.

"I dare not!" They immediately bowed and said, now they really dare not disobey Jiajing's intentions.

Jiajing now completely grasps military power and financial power. In addition, Jiajing has also intervened in personnel matters. This time, many county magistrates were arranged by Jiajing, so the power of the cabinet has been emptied by Jiajing.

The next day, Jiajing's convoy returned to Chang'an City, and Zhang Hao also returned to the mansion. Xu Shiyun saw Zhang Hao back and went to remove Zhang Hao's armor.

"What's wrong with the child now?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"I'm very naughty. You'll know when you go and check it out later. This time the business trip went smoothly, right?" Xu Shiyun asked while removing Zhang Hao's armor.

"It's not bad. I need to write a memorial later. If someone comes to ask for a meeting, they will not see you. I will talk about it when I finish writing the memorial!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

"But what happened?" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao in surprise and said, "Zhang Hao had never been like this before."

"There is no big deal. It was written by Your Majesty. It has been several days since I asked Your Majesty to protect Your Majesty. I couldn't calm down and write it. Now that I'm back home, I can do this with confidence. These memorials will be sent to Your Majesty tomorrow morning, so this matter cannot be delayed!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

Xu Shiyun nodded, and after taking off her armor, Zhang Hao went to take a shower. Xu Shiyun served her, and then went to the study to start writing memorials, memorials about the workshop area.

Zhang Hao had already thought about it on the road before, so he wrote it very quickly.

It took about an hour before Zhang Hao finished writing. He looked at the memorial carefully and checked that there was no problem. Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Shiyun outside saw that Zhang Hao had finished writing, and entered Zhang Hao's study.

"Well, sir, but you're done?" Xu Shiyun asked.

"Well, I just finished writing, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Liu Yunhai has been waiting outside. As soon as you entered the study, he came over. I asked someone to tell him that the master had just given instructions. Today, no one saw him and needed to write a memorial. He was waiting outside!" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao.

"Oh, okay, let him come in!" Zhang Hao thought about it for a while and said to Xu Shiyun.

"Okay, the master wants to keep him at the mansion for dinner, the food is ready!" Xu Shiyun continued to ask.

"It's okay, I'll send it to the study room when the time comes!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

Soon, Liu Yunhai arrived at Zhang Hao's study.

"I have seen the commander, and the master is exhausted, so the subordinates come to disturb him. It is not right!" Liu Yunhai came to Zhang Hao's side and immediately bowed and said.

"Well, it's okay. I just wanted to write a memorial, and I was afraid of being disturbed, so I told me not to see anyone. What's wrong with you?" Zhang Hao nodded and signaled him to sit down.

"Yes, sir, you are mainly sir, you have gone out these days. The officials need to report to you about the matters in the capital so that you can understand it!" Liu Yunhai said with a very low attitude.

Now he dares not be like before. When Zhang Hao came back outside for several months, Liu Yunhai didn't come to his house to see him or report on work.

"Oh, it's okay. In a few days, there will probably be no big deal! Lord Liu doesn't have to be so anxious. By the way, I haven't eaten, so I'll have to eat together here later!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Yunhai with a smile.

"Yes, I'll disturb you. Well, there are two things that need to be decided by you!" Liu Yunhai immediately said with a smile. Being able to eat at Zhang Hao's house means that Zhang Hao still let him go.

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhang Hao asked.

"That's right. Those vassal kings have returned to the capital one after another. Some of the princes of the vassal kings will inevitably go to various places to see each other when they arrive in the capital. Therefore, some misunderstandings will also arise, which will make the people in the capital dissatisfied. In addition, the Jinyiwei prison is indeed full, and now they dare not arrest people. Should some people be dealt with? Otherwise, now we find that some officials are afraid to arrest them, and there is no place to put them!" Liu Yunhai immediately said to Zhang Hao.
