Wu Youxing and others followed Zhu Youjian's instructions and during the entire anatomy process, they selected specimens from bodies of different ages and genders and drew human structure diagrams of different sections for future teaching. This action is also epoch-making.

This large-scale purge incident that occurred in Nanjing was the only major event seen in the Ming Dynasty in two hundred years since Taizu Taizong. Its influence was far-reaching and extensive, far beyond Zhu Youjian's original idea.

After the purge operation was over, it was time for the yamen to open the yamen. Many officials in the yamen were survivor-like and were trembling with fear, for fear that they would accidentally be mistaken and then establish their authority in public.

Because on the first day of the 12th year of Chongzhen, many departments lacked many familiar faces in their offices.

The officials who were also in the local area knew that those people had completely disappeared from this world.

Everyone knew in their hearts that these people were people who usually rely on the support of the local backers and obeyed the instructions of the master, but this time they were taken the opportunity to uproot the master, who seemed weak and bullied.

The bloody reality is in front of everyone. Some people who used to think highly of themselves know what to do in the future.

Closely united around the master, this is the only way out.

In line with the principle of struggling while the iron is hot, Lu Xiangsheng issued an order as an imperial envoy on the same day: From now on, the work of clearing the fields in Jiangsu Province will be fully launched, and governments in various places must complete the cleaning of the cemetery within two months, and the integrated grain collection of gentry will officially start this summer.

The progress of the matter was not unexpected. After several days of preparation, the governments in various places immediately began to clear the fields of officials and gentry and large gentry families under their jurisdiction.

Wherever the officials went, these great men who had never taken the imperial court or the government seriously obediently all the land deeds in the mansion and arranged for the servants in the mansion to lead the way, for fear that the Jinyiwei who was watching with him would be charged with some crimes.

While the rabbit died and the fox was sad, the gentry in Jiangnan was finally completely scared.

In the face of swords and guns, all the previous methods seemed pale and powerless. The sky of the Ming Dynasty has changed. If you don’t know the current affairs, you will probably disappear in the blink of an eye.

The Nanjing incident made the new Zhejiang policy chaired by Sun Chuanting very smoothly.

All the core backbones of the Donglin Party in Nanjing were destroyed, which made the Hangzhou-Jia-Huzhou area, which was dominated by gentry, lose its voice in an instant.

No one dared to come forward to plead guilty to the officials and gentry in Nanjing, and no scholars took to the streets to protest. Zhejiang's new policy was officially unfolded in this dull and weird atmosphere, and the process was exactly the same as Nanjing.

The successful implementation of the new policy of gentry and gentry's food collection was made by Sun Lu, and Lu sent people to the capital.

This move means that the Jiangnan region, which was in a semi-independent state for nearly two hundred years, has been completely under the rule of the Ming Dynasty since the 12th year of Chongzhen.

After deciding on possible problems in the implementation of the new policy and how to prevent and punish strategies, Zhu Youjian announced that after the consultation, the cabinet should consider the act of banning land annexation in a total manner and submit it to the palace after formulating relevant documents.

With the cabinet ministers full of doubts, the consultation turned to the second topic: tax cuts and changes in the shares of Sihai Commercial Bank.

The cabinet ministers were puzzled by the two questions that the emperor suddenly raised.

Isn’t the implementation of the new policy just to increase taxes? Why are you planning to reduce taxes on the other side not yet? Isn’t this demolishing your own platform?

"What I said about tax reduction is not a reduction in taxes on land. The reduced tax is tax on industrial tax, which is actually equivalent to a conditional reduction in commercial taxes."

Seeing that all the ministers were full of question marks, Zhu Youjian first explained the purpose of tax cuts.

"The tax rate of 30-1 tax per month for goods circulation in the Ming Dynasty continues to remain unchanged, but if there are business owners under their name, the tax rate can be changed to 50-1 tax per month.

The so-called industrial tax reduction means that its property belongs to not only stores but also physical industries such as workshops, which means that it has the qualifications to integrate production and sales.

Such a business must go to the local government to report, and the government will send personnel to confirm that it is correct and then register it. When it comes to distribution between the local governments, the tax rate will be 50 taxes."

Zhu Youjian immediately told the target of tax reduction and exemption, and the cabinet ministers suddenly realized.

These two strategies were decided by Zhu Youjian after repeated thinking. The purpose was to promote the development and progress of the Ming national industry and stimulate merchants to invest the profits obtained from doing business into the real economy, rather than to store fixed assets such as silver melons and fields.

The wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty all had the same habit: store the money they earned in the cellar, and then look for opportunities to turn them into fields and fields.

In their eyes, only silver melons and fields are the most realistic property, and nothing else is important.

Isn’t the purpose of making money to accumulate land and produce more grain, and then pass it on from generation to generation?

This kind of inertial thinking that has been formed over thousands of years is deeply rooted, and the idea of ​​using big principles to convince them is tantamount to dreaming.

Zhu Youjian has thought countless times about how to make money from these big players, but it is difficult to achieve with the existing conditions.

Because these people have almost nothing in their homes.

The main reason for all this is that the industry is too backward and the types of goods are too single. Without a large number of new industrial products, it is difficult for these wealthy families to spend a lot of money from their homes.

The large-scale circulation of commodities in later generations was also based on the highly developed manufacturing industry. The massive amount of various commodity materials was dazzling, and rich people were willing to spend money. Only consumption could stimulate the overall economy to enter a virtuous cycle and be more conducive to social progress and development.

But now there are too few items that can make large investors willing to spend money.

Take the various high-end restaurants in later generations as an example. In order to satisfy the desire for taste, the rich people don’t care about the price at all. As long as they eat happily, it is normal for tens of thousands of yuan per meal to be eaten.

The wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty are incomparable to the rich people of later generations. Whether in terms of enjoyment or grade, the rich people of the Ming Dynasty are better.

Take food as an example. In the capital, among the crowds of restaurants and banquets, you can't see any gentry and wealthy people.

Why?

People have their own cooks, so the food they cook is no worse than those high-end restaurants, and most of them are even a little better.

In their eyes, going to a restaurant to eat, drink and have a banquet seems too expensive.

How elegant it is to chat about banquets and recite poems and essays in my own pavilions, towers, rockery, and waters. How could it be to go to the restaurant to join those who don’t come to the table?
