The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Zhu Zaihou looked at Gao Yi with a lot of respect, which was only seen in the prince's eyes on Gao Gong before.

Gaoyi cheered in his heart, it succeeded, it really succeeded.

At this moment, Gao Yi let go of her dreams, fantasizing about a certain day when the crown prince ascends the throne, she will overwhelm Gao Gong, become the chief assistant of the court, call the wind and rain, and have power over the world... I think it is beautiful when I think about it, it is so beautiful.

The next day, the prince hurriedly summoned Gao Gong, Gao Yi and other teachers, as well as several powerful assistants among those who had recently joined the prince, and then showed them the plan one by one.

After everyone looked over, they were shocked~yan.When they knew that the plan was provided by Gaoyi, they all looked at Gaoyi in shock, secretly thinking that Gaoyi should not be underestimated.

Prince: "I've read it all. I think everyone can see that the insights in it are undoubtedly beneficial to the court and the people. I want to reform the business tax of Ming Dynasty according to this plan. If you have any opinions, please speak freely."

Gao Gong nodded: "I agree. Now that the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue is decreasing, the commercial tax is a good direction (ajfd), which can greatly increase the court's tax revenue. This is a matter of great merit."

To be honest, Gao Gong was extremely shocked. He had actually paid attention to the matter of commercial taxation, and the purpose was to make a difference after the Crown Prince ascended the throne. However, what Gao Yi said, thought, and planned in this plan was more important than his own. What you want is a hundred times more perfect!

"My opinion is the same as Mr. Gao!"

"I think it's possible too!"

"Benefits in the present age, achievements in the future!"

"Whether it's the praise and criticism analysis or the countermeasures in this plan, they are all meaningful and insightful. Mr. Gao really deserves to be a great talent!"

Everyone agreed one after another, and at the same time expressed their admiration for Gaoyi.

At this time, Gao Gong said: "Although the discussion in this plan is brilliant and seems to be effective, it also has shortcomings."

"As stated in this plan, the reason why my dynasty has lost countless commercial taxes is because there are countless people from the central to the local, from the upper to the lower, from officials to merchants, who are taking advantage of this! The impact is huge. If we implement the commercial tax reform, it will affect the interests of these people. I am afraid it will be very difficult. And now that the southern tour is about to start, His Majesty may also have the idea that one thing is worse than one thing, so he may not support it. ..."

Gao Gong's words pointed out the problem straight to the point, but it made all the princelings frown, only to realize that it is not so easy to implement the proposals in the "Commercial and Tax Reform Plan"!

On the contrary, Gaoyi is very dissatisfied. What do you mean by high arch?If you see me in my early years, you will suppress me, right?The resentment deepened in my heart.

However, is it Zhu Zaihou's style to look forward and backward?He is a brave and diligent person, but he will not be hindered by difficulties, but has a greater desire to challenge.

"As the teacher said just now, although this matter is difficult, it is beneficial to Daming and the people. This king must implement it. If we stop because we are afraid of people's obstruction and revenge, how can our Ming Dynasty reverse the decline? How can we people achieve success? So, everyone should work together and think of a way."

Everyone nodded.

Suddenly, Gao Yi said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. Most of the officials will accompany you on your majesty's southern tour. There are only one powerful ministers such as Zhang Bi and Shen Shixing left in the court. You, the prince, supervise the country, and you also have one in your hand." With enough power and influence, at that time, it will be the time when the resistance will be the least and our strength will be the greatest! It is also a good opportunity to implement the reform of commercial taxation! Why not wait for His Majesty to carry out the reform on his own after the Southern Tour!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

good idea!

Chapter 193 Jiajing reads "Theory of Sea Power-The Mystery of Longevity" [5]

In this way, all the princelings reached a consensus, and decided that after Emperor Jiajing's southern tour, they would implement the business tax reform alone!

In fact, the prince Zhu Zaihou wanted to promote the reform of commercial taxation alone this time, and he also wanted to prove himself to Emperor Jiajing!

Although Gao Gong still has some concerns, he is essentially the same as the prince Zhu Zaihou, a person who is determined to bring innovation to the world, so after hesitating for a while, he has no objection~!

However, everyone knows that countless people profited from commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty, and collusion between officials and businessmen, tax evasion, and tax evasion are commonplace.

As a matter of fact, Gao Gong, Gao Yi, and those who have taken refuge in the prince enjoy a clear reputation on weekdays. However, his family has been taking advantage of the loopholes in the business tax of the Ming Dynasty to make profits. Now, seeing that the prince wants to promote business Regarding the tax reform, everyone is naturally in a complicated mood. They only feel that they are in a dilemma between public and private!

……

……

Just when the princelings were gearing up, all the parties kept their own, Jiajing continued to practice Taoism, and all the ministries were preparing for the southern tour...

Wenhao Bookstore has published Yan Song's new book - "Theory of Sea Power - The Mystery of Longevity".

In the book, Yan Song mentioned many events in foreign countries in pursuit of longevity, among which the most exaggerated one is the pyramids in Egypt.

A so-called "pyramid" is 146.59 meters high, and it is said that the body of the tower is made of 230 million huge stones, and the stones of different sizes weigh from a thousand to 10,000+ catties.

In the eyes of Ming officials, this is a bit ridiculous. They always think that the Great Wall should be the most majestic building in the world.

In addition to the fact that the pyramids are a bit shocking to readers, there is also the fact that Alexander the Great and his servants in the West traveled through the Dark Continent to find something called the "Fountain of Life".

In Yan Song's book, he introduced in detail the achievements of Alexander the Great in his life, successively unified the whole of Greece, then swept across the Middle East, occupied the whole of Egypt without a single soldier, smashed the Persian Empire, and marched to the Indus River Basin , the world's four ancient civilizations occupy the third.Conquer the whole territory of about 500 million square kilometers.

The Alexander Empire was the country with the largest territory in the world at that time, surpassing the total land area of ​​the seven heroes of the Warring States Period in China.

This incident also hurt the self-esteem of the scholars of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Yan Song's "Theory of Sea Power--The Mystery of Longevity" was released, 1 copies were sold out on the same day.

On that day, countless shouts and curses poured out towards Yan Song.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, how can there be a building more majestic than the Great Wall in the world!"

"What longevity, what mummy, isn't it a zombie?"

"What Alexander the Great, must be talking nonsense, how could it be larger than the total area of ​​the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period?"

"What nonsense!"

"Demon talk to confuse the public!"

"So is it stronger than Daming? Absolutely impossible!"

It has to be said that Yan Song's book really stimulated the self-esteem of scholars who went to court and all nations came to court.
