Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 73 I will play!
Night falls.

Zhu Houzhao returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

However, this time, there are still nine girls he likes returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with him.

One night, Zhu Houzhao can read the spring scenery in the world
Early the next morning, a girl walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation blushing, but from this moment on, their identities will change, from now on, they are no longer beautiful girls, but serious girls. Concubine of the scriptures.

They climbed onto Zhu Houzhao's bed one by one, and enjoyed the glory and wealth in the world from then on. Even if they didn't give birth to a dragon seed for Zhu Houzhao, at least they had a relationship in name.

In the early morning, the spring is beautiful and the sun is warm.

Zhu Houzhao walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, full of energy. These beautiful women are not only beautiful, but also know how to serve.

It's just that after Zhu Houzhao arrived at Qianqing Palace, after reviewing the memorial sent yesterday, he was not angry at all.

The cabinet and the six ministers are relatively comforting, and there is no major issue.

Nothing major happened even at the border. After the Ming Empire destroyed the Tatars and defeated the Franji Fleet, the world lived forever. There was not even a single pirate on the entire coastline of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the fact that the cabinet and the six ministries have no memorials does not mean that other departments have no memorials.

A stack of thick memorials, let Zhu Houzhao look at it, and he was moved to anger.

To restore the ancestral system, the morning court should be advanced, and some people should not be late.

Why should overseas trade be banned, and their status should not be improved for the benefit of merchants? If the ancestral system is restored, then Ming Dynasty will develop towards the glory of the past.

What's more, he even proposed to severely punish Liu Jian, the richest man in the cabinet, because the last time he punished corrupt officials, he killed all the people in the court, which left many jobs unattended.

This kind of rule must not be broken, especially to let Zhu Houzhao restore some systems of Zhu Yuanzhang's period, so that officials can be better controlled, especially the management of corrupt officials.

After Zhu Houzhao finished reading the memorial, Lei Ting was furious. This is not a suggestion for him, it is simply looking for something to do when he has nothing to do.

Especially the commercial tax he asked Liang Chu to implement, someone actually proposed to cancel such a commercial tax, which made Zhu Houzhao very angry.

You must know that this commercial tax was carefully studied and agreed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Before, the landlord class did not pay taxes, and the taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty were apportioned to the common people. This is indeed a bit unreasonable.

There are hereditary palace families that not only do not pay taxes for generations, but also exploit the local people even more. There are many local officials like this.

Moreover, with the implementation of the land annexation policy in the past few years, many ordinary people have become refugees to a certain extent, so Ming's taxes have been reduced every year.

I finally came up with a way to increase the commercial tax. After only three months of trial implementation, the treasury has already begun to increase revenue. Isn't this a good way?

Zhu Houzhao felt that this was not the result of offending some officials, it just touched the interests of some people.

The civil officials at Yushitai believed that this was touching the ancestral system and even destroying the group training left by Emperor Hongwu.

Your Majesty should abolish the commercial tax, continue to implement the sea ban policy, abolish the Ming Navy, and transfer it all to the inland for use.

Zhu Houzhao felt that this was his recent reform, which touched the interests of some people. Now these guys whose interests have been touched are starting to struggle in reverse and fight back against the imperial power.

Just the first one, Zhu Houzhao looked angry, these censors are really idle and have nothing to do, I am already very diligent in governing once every three days, do I still have to go to court every morning?Daily reprimands for late ministers.
You censors, do you feel like I have so much time?

This civil servant who proposed to restore the ancestral system is even more of a bastard.

However, the ancestral system cannot be restored!History can only roll forward from the wheel, so where is the reason for going backward?
However, there are many Yushitai ministers who proposed this, so he had to think about it.

is there any method?
Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a long time, picked up a brush, and criticized the proposal: "Quite play!"

"Except for the officials from Yushitai who come to the court on time every day, no one is late! Violation of the penalty for half a year!"

"Other officials are still in accordance with the regulations of this court, every three days."

The second is to propose a policy of banning the sea, and to transfer the Ming Navy to the inland for the army. Zhu Houzhao really wants to chop off the heads of these officials one by one.

This Great Ming Navy was formed by the hard work of finding people. Not only can it fight abroad, but it can also show off our country's prestige.

Isn't closing down foreign trade a dead end?If there is no foreign import and export goods, how will my Daming’s trade tax go up?

To put it bluntly, there is still a lot of interest to grow in this area.I really want to greet the officials who made these statements one by one.

Regarding the third question, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang must be seriously held accountable. Someone suggested that they embezzled money from the state treasury and embezzled money from the state treasury.

In fact, both Liu Jian and Li Dongyang knew that the civil officials behind them were slandering them. After all, they were taking the blame for His Majesty. If His Majesty was unhappy that day and let them die, they would not even frown.

Because they know that all this is thanks to His Majesty, if there is no powerful monarch, no matter how powerful their courtiers are, it will be useless.

Zhu Houzhao knew that these were all false accusations. When he was the prince, he knew that the reason why Emperor Hongzhi worked so hard was that the treasury had run out of money.

If these old guys have been greedy for ink and left in the past few decades without even evidence, isn't it a joke?
The last question is about the commercial tax of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao knew that it did touch the interests of some people, and it was the interests of a large number of people.

But if he didn't do that, what awaited him would be more refugee army uprisings. If starvation appeared everywhere, he really didn't know how to meet his ancestors.

Zhu Houzhao's reply to the third memorial was: "Quite! Before punishing Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, you give me 1000 taels of silver each, and I will not spare them both."

Zhu Houzhao hoped that through such a reply, he would find the minister who was behind the scenes.As for the reply to the fourth memorial, Zhu Houzhao wrote: "Quasi-Zu! Exempting merchants from commercial taxes is fine, as long as you can fill the treasury of the Ming Dynasty every year, I will allow it!"

As for the rest of the memorials, Zhu Houzhao really didn’t want to read any more of them. He felt that if he read any more, he might step into the old path of his father, Emperor Hongzhi, blowing up the fat man, and then he was young. die young.

This can be worth a hundred thousand.

He is already planning to find someone to investigate these people behind the Yushitai. These people, I treat them very well, so how about their satellite TV to bite me back?
He planned to ask these civil servants what they thought and who the interest groups behind them were after all in the morning court tomorrow.
