Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"See the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian glanced at the officials and vassals, smiled slightly and said:

"Everyone who loves you is free from courtesy"

"Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor!"

After the ministers were flat, no one spoke for a long time, Zhu Youjian said:

"My Ming army has recovered North Korea, and Mongolia is also retreating steadily.

The Central Route Army not only wiped out the traitor Kong Youde's troops, but also captured the traitor Geng Zhongming alive.

How is the land reform and business tax collection of the cabinet going? Don't you have a book? "

Seeing the emperor's questioning, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Li Banghua, the chief assistant of the cabinet, hurried out of class to salute:

"Reporting to the emperor, the land reform and the collection of commercial taxes have basically not encountered much obstruction in other places, but we really can't proceed with the vassal kings, so I ask the emperor to decide."

When Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu spoke, those vassal kings looked indifferent, and they would ask the emperor for an explanation later!

"Snapped……"

Zhu Youjian slapped the Longshu case fiercely, and said sharply:

"Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu, as the cabinet of my Ming Dynasty, you are living on my salary, are you just serving the vassal kings?

I have already made a decree that all those who obstruct the reform of Daming will be treated equally no matter what their status is. How did you do it? Are you all planning to go home to retire? "

"The emperor forgives the sin, it is the incompetence of the humble minister..."

Seeing Zhu Youjian's anger, Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu trembled with fright, and knelt directly on top of the golden hall.

Now the emperor is killing people without blinking an eye, maybe the whole family will be implicated.

In fact, Zhu Youjian is killing chickens to scare monkeys, and his purpose is to see the reactions of those vassal kings.

These people are not fools, of course they can hear the voice of the emperor, but they don't care.

Most of their family property was left by their ancestors, besides, the Zhu family also has a part of them.

But they didn't think about it, not only did they not make any contribution to Da Ming, but they were a great burden on Da Ming.

Not only does it own the best land, but it also occupies many fertile land and shops, and now it is forcibly preventing the reform of the Ming Dynasty.

They never thought that what awaited them would be the thunderous wrath of the Ming Emperor.

Chapter 171 The Rampant Lords

Zhu Youjian severely reprimanded the two cabinet ministers, but they have not yet begun to teach these vassals a lesson, and they took the lead in launching the attack.King Heng of Qingzhou stepped forward and bowed to salute:

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we have never paid a penny in taxes, nor have we paid a penny in grain. Now that the family population has increased several times, our burden is also extremely heavy.

The imperial court cannot collect our commercial and agricultural taxes. Now that the population has dropped sharply due to the war, shouldn’t we be rewarded with some of the excess land? "

Yiwang Zhu Youben:

"That's right, King Heng is right. We really don't have enough to eat. I hope the emperor will show mercy by not collecting our taxes and giving us more land."

Ji Wang:

"The two brothers are right. Please forgive me. We are a family. The land of Daming originally belonged to our Zhu family. We should enjoy it when you sit in the mountains and rivers. This is what Taizu meant at the beginning."

……

These vassal kings were so thick-skinned that they could say anything, and they didn't take Zhu Youjian seriously at all. They must have had the same attitude when Emperor Chongzhen was in power.

Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao passed away suddenly. Because he had no heirs, his younger brother Xin Wang Zhu Youjian took over the throne. These vassal kings were not happy at all.

They are also descendants of the old Zhu's family, why should they let King Xin ascend the throne, but they didn't get anything.

So they began to occupy many fields and shops. The country was impoverished, but they were all rich.

But there is no consideration for the country at all, even in the most critical time.

After Zhu Youjian traveled to Chongzhen, the situation just turned around. Not only did they not cooperate with the reform of the imperial court, but they also shamelessly asked for land.

Zhu Youjian's inner rage almost reached the limit, but in order to see all their faces clearly, Zhu Youjian still held back his anger and insisted on waiting for them to express their views.

Sure enough, after the vassal kings whose fiefs had not fallen took turns to perform, the vassal kings who had lost their fiefdoms began their own performances.

King of Fu Zhu Yousong:

"Your Majesty, now that Luoyang has been recovered, can you divide our fiefdoms among us? I don't ask too much. I want the original ones. As long as they are tax-free, I don't want a cent of land."

After King Fu asked for the return of the fief, other anti-kings also began to claim their lost fiefs, asking for nothing more than King Fu, as long as they were returned to Zhao.

They have the King of Chu in Wuchang

King Tang of Nanyang

King Jin of Taiyuan

King of Datong

King Su of Lanzhou

King Ming of Wugang

King Rong of Changde

……

Most of the vassals who lost their fiefs expressed that they wanted to return the fiefs, but they would not pay taxes.

People who don't know the inside story will definitely think that they are not demanding, they just want to return to the fief, and whether to pay taxes can be discussed again.

First of all, it is necessary to find out how many people there were in their family before, at least several hundred people in their heyday.

But now they are almost all killed by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. None of the vassal kings' families have more than 20 people, and these are just fish that slipped through the net.

They don't pay a penny of taxes to Daming, and they have to receive a total of 837 million shi of grain from Daming every year, accounting for more than 30.00% of Daming's total output value.

And their family's grain, gold and silver all became supplies for the rogues to attack Daming.

If it weren't for them, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others would have been wiped out by Da Ming long ago.

Now he is still shamelessly demanding all the fiefs and exempting all taxes.Fastest update../ ../
