After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Mingzhu didn't react too much to this matter, he had an intuition that the prince should have something else to ask for.However, he is still not sure about wooing, so he can only wait and see what happens right now.

A small meeting lasted until evening, and everyone dispersed after having another working meal together.

As a result of the meeting, Yao Qisheng's request was naturally agreed, indicating that he immediately began to prepare for the expansion of the military system.

Kangxi secretly decided that starting from this month, everyone in the harem will have their monthly payment halved.

Let's not mention the harem for now.

Suo'etu may have been hit too much, so he left the palace first after saluting hastily.Yinfeng achieved his goal and was about to return to Yuqing Palace, but was stopped by Zhang Ying and others.

Xiong Cilu was the most anxious, and before leaving the gate of Qianqing Palace, he asked directly: "Why does Your Highness want to invite Mingzhu to be your master?"

He was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat.He is a dangerous person, Your Highness, if you follow him, you will learn from him.

Yinfeng naturally knew why he was worried, but there were some things he couldn't say clearly.He could only vaguely say: "The sage said that three people must have my teacher. I invite him to be my teacher, so I naturally feel that he is outstanding."

"But…"

"Master, you don't have to think too much, you have your own plan."

Xiong Cilu wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Zhang Ying's eyes, so he could only swallow other questions.He sighed very unwillingly.That's all, as long as His Highness knows what's in mind.

The three of them watched Yinfeng get on the sedan chair and drive away, and then went back to their respective residences with different ideas.

Because the goal was achieved, after returning to his dormitory in time, he was urged by the system to memorize English for a quarter of an hour. Yinfeng slept soundly that night.

On the second day, Kangxi also made arrangements for the courses taught by the two newly added teachers.Wang Jie was the one who lectured on the law, while Mingzhu was in charge of the various systems of the current imperial court.

With two more classes, Yinfeng's time was adjusted again.Follow the teacher in the morning, and if there is nothing urgent, you can go back and follow the master to class.

The five masters shared his morning time equally.The riding and archery class in the afternoon was not affected. After the riding and archery class, he had to go to various brothers before and after dinner.

This can be regarded as a habit that has just been developed recently.After all, there was no idea of ​​brotherhood at all before.

Since the third elder brother Yinfeng entered the court to listen to the government, he has seen him less and less often.He will start studying next year, and because of Yinfeng's semi-compulsive stuffing, he is quite yearning for reading.

The fourth elder brother was adopted by the noble concubine Tong Jia when he was two years old.Since he was a child, he was cold-tempered and didn't like to talk. He only showed one or two smiling faces occasionally when he saw Yinfeng.Tong Jia's family was happy that he was close to the prince, so every time Yinfeng went there, he was very welcome.

The fifth elder brother was raised in the queen mother's palace.The Empress Dowager was born in Mongolia. When she was young, she had a very ordinary relationship with the late emperor because of language barriers.Now that I am older, I don't like to speak Chinese even more.Affected by her, the fifth elder brother was completely confused about Yinreng's Chinese chat style.

Yinreng made gestures and guesses, barely able to chat with his fifth brother about some very unknown topics.

The sixth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, Yinfeng didn't walk around much.In fact, the other brothers are all fine, but it is their eighth brother who worries him the most.He can stay with every brother for a while, but with the eighth elder brother, he can't even find an excuse to enter the door.

He even started to plan how to get Khan Ama to raise all these brothers together, so as to save him from running around, watching this one today and that one tomorrow.

Time passed very quickly because of his busy schedule. In a blink of an eye, the 20th year of Kangxi has come to the end of the year.

Because all the quotas in the harem were halved, this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet was unprecedentedly shabby.The usual music and dance at the palace banquet is gone, and there are more than a dozen dishes missing from the regular dishes.

The rewards of the palaces are also much less than last year.Even Tong Jia's, who has always been favored, is no exception.

Aixinjueluo and his family had dinner together, and Kangxi didn't even watch the new year with his sons, so he returned to Qianqing Palace to continue handling political affairs.

In the 21st year of Kangxi, the imperial court's silver shortage has reached a point where if the big guys don't try their best to find a way, the Qing Dynasty is likely to go bankrupt.

Yinfeng has been in attendance for half a year. In his opinion, the most important thing now is to raise tax revenue quickly to make up for the emptiness of the national treasury.

The current tax system of the Qing Dynasty continues the rules of the Ming Dynasty, with "Ding Yin" as the main one.But under such a system, the base number of tax-paying population is too small compared to the actual population.If there are few people paying money, the national treasury will naturally not be rich.

If we want to reform, we must first amend this item.

In order to help Yinreng open up his mind, the system listed several common taxation methods in later generations in his mind one by one.

"Your Highness, please take a look, you may be able to refer to these tax collection models."

After getting a detailed explanation, Yinreng rejected these methods one by one: "According to what you said, the Qing Dynasty is still very backward, and it is impossible to implement such a method."

"Simply saying that the collection of tax money according to the proportion of people's income can turn the whole Qing Dynasty upside down."

You must know that the highest income in the whole country is now the official group. Whether it is salary or those gray incomes, officials who are a little more active, earn enough money that can be checked every year, which is enough for ordinary people to eat for ten years.

But it is this high-income group that is directly included in the ranks of tax exemptions by the state.Asking them to pay taxes is almost the same as making enemies of the entire administrative system.

The system naturally knew this, and continued unhurriedly: "These are just references. If His Highness finds them useless, you can use them. Besides, after you were abolished in your previous life, your younger brother later implemented the method of 'dividing each child into the mother'. It should be of great reference value."

After Yinreng listened to the system's explanation, he didn't say yes or no, but quietly persuaded himself in his heart, it was trying to help him find a way, and he didn't deliberately mention the merits of the fourth child, so he didn't get angry.

After comforting him, he went through the math from the beginning.The so-called "split Ding into Mu" means that the original tax collected on the basis of the head is modified to collect the tax on a fixed land area.

"This is a good way." Yinfeng rarely gave a pertinent evaluation: "Although it can't completely alleviate it, it will definitely greatly improve the basis of taxation."

"Then when is His Highness going to propose to your father to carry it out?"

"The reform of the system must be carried out step by step. Even if I say it now, Khan Ama may not necessarily adopt it. We still have to find another time."

Soon, the time he was waiting for came.

In the spring, many officials sent abroad returned to Beijing to report on their duties.In order to let his son know more about people's livelihood, Kangxi arranged for Yinfeng to sit in on it.The most mentioned item by these officials in their work reports is how much effort they have put into local winter farming protection.

After the officials finished speaking and stepped back, Kangxi began to teach his son in a small stove alone: ​​"How do you feel after listening to it?"

"My son has some superficial ideas."

Encouraged by his Khan Ama's eyes, Yinreng organized his words and said, "My son thinks, it's important to protect the land first, and it's time to arrange for the state governments to organize the reclamation of wasteland."

"That's right, I've thought about opening up wasteland for a long time."

The entire Qing Dynasty has a vast area, and if you have the heart, there will definitely be a lot of barren land reclaimed.But how to rectify the name of this new field is very important.

Yinfeng knew nothing about the officialdom, and his expression was as innocent as ever, "I feel that Khan Ama can give these fertile land to those who cultivated it after they cultivate it, and the court will collect food from them."

Only by finding a way to ensure that some people have land in their hands can other things be arranged on this basis.

When Kangxi thought of the unspoken rules of "acting from top to bottom" in the officialdom, his face turned colder. "The method is certainly possible, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement."

The people below think that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so they may wait for an opportunity to embezzle them.After all, even if it is reclaimed, if the imperial court does not strictly check, these fertile lands will be bought by local officials or other wealthy businessmen in the near future.Public land will still be turned into private land.

Yinfeng's eyeballs rolled, "I have an idea, maybe what I said is not right."

He had to let Khan Ama have a mental preparation first, so as not to be frightened after he finished speaking.

Kangxi patted his son's forehead and said with a smile: "I'm still pretending to be in front of me. I asked you to listen because I want you to learn more. You can just say it, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake."

"Erchen thought" Yinreng said while rubbing the place where he was shot: "Khan Ama is worried that state officials who are too far away will not come according to the imperial court's request, so why don't we choose a nearby place and implement this method first. If there is really a gain, then we will slowly apply it to other places. How about this?"

Isn't it difficult to implement it nationwide?Find an area to do the experiment first, and if there is an effect, those officials will definitely follow suit for their political achievements.

Kangxi thought about his son's words for a while, and felt that there was something to be said.Turning around, he ordered Liang Jiugong: "Go and deliver the decree to let them enter the palace."

He didn't say who it was called, but Liang Jiugong already had a score in his heart.So he bowed and withdrew from His Highness, and went to call people according to the will.

After finishing speaking, he looked at his son again, "If you have any other ideas, let's talk together."

Yinfeng adjusted his expression from laughing to serious, and continued to state the plan he had thought up: "It is difficult to monitor places that are too far away, so it is better to use Zhili as an experimental area and try it for the time being."

"My son thinks that reclaiming wasteland is a labor-intensive task. If you want people to contribute, you must use profit to lure them. Why don't you give this wasteland to those who reclaim it, and let them hand over the harvest in proportion."

"When this matter is done in the future and gradually implemented in other state capitals, the imperial court may take this opportunity to change the tax collection method mainly based on 'Dingyin' and collect taxes completely according to the number of fields."

"If Khan Ama is worried about the lack of supervision, the minister also has a coup. The imperial court has to conduct scientific examinations every three years. It is better to put aside the words and let students from all over the country who are interested in participating in the imperial examinations monitor whether the reclaimed wasteland in the local area has been embezzled. Allow them to report when they come to participate in the scientific examination."

"You can take this item as a bonus item in the scientific examination, and those students who come here will not refuse it for their future career."

"If Khan Ama thinks that the method of distributing the land into acres is inappropriate, he can only use this method for the newly reclaimed fields for the time being."

He finished everything he had prepared in one breath, and because he spoke too quickly, he was really thirsty, so he picked up his Khan Ama's teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.

Kangxi didn't care to stop his son.His current mood was one of surprise and shock.Although these methods have not been practiced yet, the fact that his son can think of so many things at such a young age has greatly exceeded his expectations.
