Zhu Cilang is not afraid of these things. Since he wants to be shady, then come. I will take the blame and I will die. Even if he is useless by these literati, even if he is poured all the dirty water on him, he doesn't care about it.

However, Zhu Cilang still underestimated the shamelessness of these literati. Later, the Ming Dynasty had a violent case of the prince who shocked the world.

Because these scholars were abolished their privileges, they began to hold grudges in anger. They did not dare to blatantly, but secretly did their best to make sarcasm.

What does Zhu Cilang mean? He was a famous tyrant, who was extremely debauchery and bloodthirsty. When he was leading troops to fight, he treated the Qing people fiercely and cruelly. He even refused to let go of women, children and children, and said that the prince had a habit of breaking his sleeves, favoring eunuchs, etc., and so on.

Secretly, these scholars privately published novels that humiliated Zhu Cixuan. The book was full of sarcasm, saying that the Liaodong border resisted Jiannu was just a vulnerable Qing Dynasty, and it was not the prince's contribution. The so-called Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong both died of sudden illness, but the prince's contribution became the prince's contribution.

What about rushing to help Shaanxi? The prince of the prince fell off his horse outside Lanzhou City and once knelt down to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji couldn't bear the slightest slut, so he withdrew his troops and left.

This is really too much. Zhu Cixuan had no intention of paying attention to it, but he really underestimated the shamelessness of these literati. In private, there are countless historical materials about slandering Zhu Cixuan.

What does Zhu Cilang say about his illegitimate son everywhere in the country? His biggest hobby for leading troops to fight is to fetch water for the widow's house. In fact, it was the path of the thief in the journey.

Just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, he was also criticized as a villain. In short, most of the folk rumors about Zhu Cilang are unfavorable.

Later, the rumor was rumored and even Emperor Chongzhen was furious and issued an order to investigate. So the Jinyiwei dispatched and arrested a large number of scholars. The matter was finally settled.

After being beaten by Zhu Cilang, there was no news again. No one dared to gather or argue with him.

Because this unreasonable prince was able to deal with these scholars, he would never make a fuss. He never listened to the complaints of these scholars. As long as you dare to complain to others, you would be serving them with a stick.

However, after all, this kind of cancellation of preferential treatment for scholars is only a pilot project in the small Xiongxian County. If it wants to promote it nationwide, there will still be many obstacles.

Just like the reforms of all dynasties, once the interests of these large landlords are touched, they will inevitably firmly oppose them to the end.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen could only pilot the project in Xiongxian, a small place. Once the pilot project was successful, there would be nothing to say in the world. At that time, if it was promoted nationwide, there would not be too much resistance.

The preferential treatment of scholars was cancelled and the names of the wealthy families in Xiongxian were strictly investigated. Once they were found to protect others without taxes, they would face huge fines at the least, and at the worst, they would come to the county jail to eat the board.

For a time, more than 200,000 people in Xiongxian County finally determined that they could be exempted from taxes. The rest had to be paid taxes according to the cap.

The Ming Dynasty's tax standard is that one is 20 yuan, which is also called 20 yuan.

It seems that twenty taxes are not much. In other words, farmers hand over one-twentieth of the annual harvest to the treasury.

But in actual situations, it was completely different. From the time of Emperor Gaozu of Han in the Han Dynasty, the policy of "15 taxes" was implemented. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, there was an edict to reduce the land rent by half, that is, the policy of "30 taxes" was adopted. There was also a 13-year "taxes for excluding land rent".

During the reign of Emperor Jing of Han, the system of "thirty taxes" was renamed. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu implemented the "tith tax", but soon restored the old system of "thirty taxes". Looking at the tax system of the Han Dynasty, except for Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the physical land rent of "thirty taxes" or "thirty taxes" was generally accepted.

It was precisely because of the relaxed policies of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in the Han Dynasty that the prosperous situation of the rule of Wen and Jing was created.

The so-called "fifteen taxes" means that after the landlord collects five-tenths of the land output from the tenant farmers, that is, half of the land rent, the landlord pays one-tenth of the land output to the state. That is, the landlords pay tens of the land output. After the landlord and the tenant farmers pay one-tenth of the tax, the landlord pays another tax to the state. That is, the landlords pay one-tenth of the landlords. That is, the landlords pay one-tenth of the landlords. That is, the landlords pay one-tenth of the landlords. This is the true "fifteen taxes".

Tenants do not pay taxes or rents to the state. Similarly, the so-called "thirty taxes and one" does not mean that the landlord pays one-thirty of the land output to the state. It should be understood that the land output is ten, and then 37, the tenants get seven shares, and pay three shares to the landlord as land rent, and the landlord pays one tax to the state.

In other words, no matter how you calculate it, the ordinary people will suffer losses. And those who benefit will always be those landlords and the court.

Only when we arrived in Xiongxian did we truly implement the equal land system. The land of the people is privately owned and no longer belongs to the landlord class. The land only has the right to transfer, but cannot have the right to buy and sell.

The sale of land was considered a serious crime, while the Ming Dynasty's twenty-tax tax was the real income of twenty shares, and one share was paid to the treasury.

The people no longer hand over taxes to the landlord class, and the landlord class that owns a large amount of land has to pay according to tax policies.

As soon as this government order was issued, the tax revenue in Xiong County soared. How terrifying was it? The tax revenue of a small county actually exceeded that of a province.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw the tax books, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, a small Xiong County tax was only less than ten thousand taels of silver.

Usually, taxes are only about 6,700 taels a year. Since the tax reform, it has soared to more than 136,000 taels.

A small county has a tax of more than 130,000 taels. There were about 1,000 counties in the entire Ming Dynasty. Even if calculated like this, it would be taxed in nearly 100 million taels of silver.

That is, excluding those small counties, each county has different taxes. The counties in the Ming Dynasty were poor and rich, but the treasury tax was 50 to 60 million taels of silver every year, which was the same as playing.

50 million taels, think about the taxes of more than 4 million taels per year in the treasury have already made the people complain. What does 50 million taels mean? With this money, a mere Jiannu is as small as an ant, and a mere bandit can kill him at will.

In fact, since Nurhaci's rebellion in the Later Jin Dynasty, it was not valued by the Ming court. Because in their eyes, the Later Jin Dynasty was just a group of barbarians and was not afraid of it.
