Emperor Wanli, who was the most greedy for money, made the Royal Bookstore desperately take on business and do business.

As long as you pay, you will print any book. It is said that even the propaganda materials for the rebellion of the Winter Sect were printed by the Royal Bookmark Office.

I’ve given the money, and this professional ethics and business reputation, and this confused review are really touching.

Therefore, the "Ming Dynasty Forum" created by Zhu Youxiao is not troublesome, and it is even a little profitable.

………………………….

Is the emperor so diligent? Is the emperor going to be crazy? He will resign and criticize, without any sleeping place.

The emperor was a little worried. These resigned officials were all the righteous men of Donglin, who occasionally misjudged people and were just punished and ordered to punish them.

The emperor is so wise. It’s time for our five parties to gain power. It’s better for the Donglin Party to get out!

The tide and shock caused by the Li Sancai corruption case, some people are happy and some are sad, some are regretful and some are applauding.

But the emperor's employment was intriguing. It was useless to use any three or five-party people. They were not from Hanlin. Instead, they were directly promoted from the local governor and governor Tao Langxian and Li Qiyuan to the cabinet, which is extremely rare.

Tao Langxian has no party. If he is a tough player, he will be a good friend with Xiong Tingbi, so he can barely be considered a Chu party!

Li Qiyuan was really unparty and served as a foreign official most of the time. He had his work footprints in Henan, Shaanxi and Nanjing, and was rarely in the capital.

Sun Chengzong sympathized with Donglin, but insisted on neutrality; Yuan Keli was the same. Although he valued character, he was famous for his courage to speak out and speak out, but he opposed party struggles.

As for Yuan Shizhen and Lu Shanji, two fourth-rank foreign officials, who are proficient in professionalism, there is nothing to guess.

"The court is either Donglin or five parties, and there are very few non-party or neutral. If the emperor wants to abandon party struggles, there are probably not many people available!"

"Are Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Fang Zhenru and others not Donglin? They are all responsible for foreign officials."

"According to the bottom, the emperor does not necessarily abandon Donglin, but rather appreciates the honest and honest officials."

"It makes sense, it makes sense. The emperor hates greed and corruption, and punishes Li Sancai for punishment."

"The emperor is also very disgusted with the unscrupulous businessmen. The Tongzhou merchants who were involved with Li Sancai were strictly punished for the crime of bribery and tax evasion. They were all severely punished and cried!"

"No business is not traitorous, and we value agriculture over commerce, and we can strengthen the foundation of the country."

In the teahouse, the tribute scholars talked and analyzed. It was related to the palace examination and even affected the future success and rebellion in the officialdom, and they were very concerned about it.

"Brother Liu." Wen Anzhi took a sip of tea and asked Liu Lishun, who had just put down the newspaper, "Why are you so attentive to the Emperor Qinghuangzhuang?"

Liu Lishun smiled and said, "I just think that the method of clearing off the emperor is very profound. I don't know what effect it will be if it is recommended to the whole country?"

After pausing, Liu Lishun sighed and said, "In Henan, the land is mostly concentrated among rich and gentry landlords, and the people have no land or rented land, and it is very difficult for the people to suffer!"

Zhu Youxiao's clearance of the imperial village was borrowed from some methods from later generations, all targeting landless farmers, and taxes were divided into a share system, which could be paid in physical goods or bank payments.

For farmers in the territory, taxes are collected based on "the people get five points and the officials get five points". Five years later, the land will be returned to farmers. At first glance, the government is really bad and the taxes are really heavy, which is actually half the price.

But there are additional additions later, this tax includes Ding Yin, Li Ba, Yao Shi, etc. In other words, farmers in the territory only pay half of the harvest and complete the work, and no other messy taxes will be collected.

According to later research, the agricultural tax in the Ming Dynasty was not high, and the maximum was no more than one-tenth of the land output, and it might even be only one-twentieth or one-thirtyth.

But why did the peasants lived so hard in the late Ming Dynasty until they had to rise up for the sake of food?

There are many reasons. Frequent disasters during the Little Ice Age are the main ones, but man-made disasters cannot be ignored.

For example, this Dingyin is a cap tax. If you have land but no land, you cannot escape the harvest. The more people you have, the heavier the burden.

Especially farmers, their income is not high, and the burden of the whole family can be imagined; for the rich and gentry landlords, the little tax on the ranks is nothing to them.

Moreover, as an important fiscal revenue, the Ming Dynasty court allocated it to local officials.

This operation space is very large. Local officials can report the population less and directly embezzle them. The other is to accept bribes from the rich, so that their number of people can be reduced or even exempted, and pass them on to the people.

Let’s talk about the physical silver discount in the one-whip method implemented by Zhang Juzheng, which means that all taxes are converted into currency collection.

Judging from the historical process, this is of course of progressive significance. However, during the implementation process, it did not bring convenience and benefits to farmers, nor did it increase the country's income.

For example: Whenever the tax period comes, farmers have to turn the food in their hands into money in order to pay taxes!

The grain prices in the market will basically fall in response to the sound, that is, silver is expensive and the grain is low. Farmers must sell a lot of more grain to make up. After three months, the grain prices will almost return to normal levels.

This is not a normal fluctuation in grain prices, but rather the fact that grain merchants and bureaucrats are working together to lower prices.

But the country has received a lot of money, so it should not suffer any losses, right?

In fact, if the government takes the tax that farmers sell 100 stones of grain to collect and spend money, the grain prices will most likely return to normal levels, and only 60 stones of grain can be bought in the market.

That's it, the time difference in grain prices will increase the burden on farmers, and the government's income will not increase or even decrease. What really makes money from it is merchants and bureaucrats involved.

Of course, it is not all bad. The loss of grain transportation is large, which is far less convenient than the release of silver to the treasury.

But for ordinary people, it is understandable to call a "one whip for the disabled" method of calling the "one whip for the disabled".

Another long-standing problem brought by the One Whip method is the problem of fire consumption. Because you have to pay the silver tax, it is inevitable that the broken silver will be melted and cast, and there will be losses.

Therefore, fire consumption has become a clever means of local aggregation, and it has also been passed on to the people, becoming a heavy burden.

It is undeniable that Zhang Juzheng's reform was effective, and the one-whip method also has its advanced nature.

However, Zhu Youxiao's reform will not be copied and used, but will preserve the essence and eliminate the waste and be more advanced. Of course, this is just a small step taken, which is very experimental and investigative.

First of all, the policy of clearing out the imperial village contains the meaning of "spreading dimes into a mu", which is to count the dimes in the total tax, thereby including the dimes in the central government;

Secondly, taxes are paid in five years, and the fields are returned to farmers, and there is also the shadow of "release of common land", increasing the number of self-cultivated farmers.

Of course, there are taxes based on the average of local five-year harvests, which reduces the space for operation for clerks to act traitors, etc.
