The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Being fooled by Yan Song, Jiajing felt that it was normal for Jiajing to think that these ticket numbers were about to die after they were siphoned off [-] million yuan.

No culture, it's scary.

"But what should we do now?" Jiajing asked Yan Song.

Yan Song pretended to ponder and said, "Why not? Increase taxes?"

"No, no!" Jiajing himself denied this idea, and said with a wry smile: "I just took [-] million deposits from the people in the world, and they are going to demonstrate. If I raise taxes, won't they rebel immediately?"

Although Jiajing didn't understand economics, he was very smart. He knew that the people of Ming Dynasty had already reached a critical point of anger, so he couldn't provoke them any more.

Isn't the tax increase added to the hard-working people?

Originally, their deposits were gone, and they had to increase taxes, so that people could live?

Yan Song actually said that on purpose to let the emperor shut his mouth. It wasn't me who said it, but you who said it!

Yan Song thought for a while and said, "Oh, it's no longer possible to borrow money, and it's no longer possible to increase taxes. The only feasible way is to return to the situation in the past economic prosperity. He can charge him 3000 to [-] million a month. A little debt will be paid off quickly.”

Jiajing's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, borrowing money is not a long-term strategy. The key is to have money in finance."

He pondered for a while, and then said a big reason: "The so-called country without agriculture is unstable, without soldiers, it cannot be strong, and without merchants, it cannot be rich! I only know today how important merchants are to a country. Rely on agricultural tax, but the agricultural tax is too low to collect much money. Thanks to the continuous development of industry and commerce in recent years, there has been a sudden increase in taxes in the past few years. This suppression of businessmen will immediately run out of money for the country.”

"But now, the businessmen have been suppressed by the emperor so that they dare not go out." Yan Song said slowly: "If they go out, they will be arrested by the Jin Yiwei. They hide and hide, not to mention doing business, they dare not show their faces."

When Jiajing heard it, he felt that this was easy to say.

He waved his hand: "It's easy to say! I didn't want them to do anything? As long as they are willing to come out and continue to contribute financial resources to the country and pay taxes, I can forgive them all. No further investigation! I will call Lu Bing, Tell Jin Yiwei and the others to stop arresting merchants and let them go!"

Jiajing was poor and crazy at this time, people were poor and short-sighted, and horses were thin and long-haired, so he had no choice but to temporarily let the businessman go.

··········

Unfortunately, Yan Song smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is not enough!"

"Oh?" Jiajing was depressed: "These unscrupulous people, aren't they satisfied? Don't push too hard."

Yan Song sighed: "I think it's better to invite the representatives of the merchants in and ask them what they mean, how about it?"

Jiajing lost his temper at this time.

Outside the palace, thousands of officials blocked the door all day to protest because they could not pay their salaries.

Among the Forty-Nine Cities, ordinary people in Beijing are marching and demonstrating, protesting against not repaying borrowed money.

Let's talk about Daming, there are people marching and demonstrating everywhere...

.........

The so-called penny stumps a hero.

No matter how awesome Jiajing is, it is hard work without money.

"This... alright." Jiajing finally nodded and said, "Then let the merchant class appoint a representative, and I want to meet in person. Ask them what they want?"

To say that Yan Song's work efficiency is really high.

It only took a few days to bring a few businessmen to meet Jiajing.

Jiajing was also eager to get out of the current quagmire, impatient to meet everyone.

The leader is Jack Ma.

He was taken to Beijing by Yan Song from his hiding place in Xixi Wetland.

Seeing the idol, Jack Ma is so excited.

What made him even more unbelievable was that Yan Song told him that the emperor would personally meet him and listen to him make conditions on behalf of bourgeois businessmen.

Jack Ma, this chicken jelly.

Unexpectedly, according to Yan Song's strategy, he really mobilized businessmen across the country not to go out to do business for a few months, and the result really worked!

Before, no matter how they protested and demonstrated, the emperor, who had always refused to bow his head and was aloof, actually gave in.

Although this is still a long way from the emperor accepting the request of the third-level meeting, this change has already made Jack Ma burst into tears.

"Old Yan Ge, we met the emperor, what should we say?"

Jack Ma asked humbly.

"Just say what you want." Yan Song pretended not to be familiar with him, and said lightly.

In the palace, Jiajing received Jack Ma and other businessmen.

Seeing Jack Ma, Jiajing frowned.

This person is not amazing, even ugly...

Such a person can actually sit on an equal footing with his noble self, and even make demands?

The emperor felt that he was losing value.

"Grassmen kowtow to the emperor!" Jack Ma was very polite, and stood up after saluting.

"Sit down," Jiajing said unhappily, he felt that there was no need to be polite to these lowly businessmen.
