Daming: Zhu Yuanzhang cried for Zhu Biao when he picked up vegetables

……

……

Waiting for the princes and grandchildren to enter the hall.

King Xiang, King Dai, and King Liao went as far as they could.

Naturally, Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Xiongying were set off.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked meaningfully at Li Shanchang who was at the side and clicked his tongue.

"Goodness, let's get started."

Li Shanchang got up and bowed slightly, then looked at Zhu Xiongying in front of him.

"His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of the country, since that's the case, let's start with His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying got up early today, obviously still a little sleepy.

Suddenly call yourself an exam.

Zhu Xiongying also felt 1 unhappy.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's sleepy eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but coughed a few words to remind him

"Ahem, Yinger, I'm ready to answer the question."

The king of Xiang, the king of Dai and the king of Liao were all dumbfounded.

"Damn! Why is father so gentle? Who is Zhu Xiongying?"

"Zhu Xiongying is the eldest brother's son, my father is so partial!"

"Stop arguing, father is here."

The three of them lowered their heads.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was getting up his spirits gradually, Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Xiongying and clicked his tongue.

"Floods have been widespread in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and the finances of the household department are stretched. I dare to ask my grandson how to increase revenue."

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying suddenly heard a system notification sound in his mind.

[Suddenly arranging an exam is too annoying, please ask the host to remember these people who made the questions, and let them have a good memory! 】

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the mission.

Then he raised his head and carefully looked at the examiners in front of him.

It was as if it was not Zhu Xiongying who took the exam but the group of people in front of him.

After a while, Zhu Xiongying had an idea in his mind.

Looking at Li Shanchang.

Zhu Xiongying blurted out

"Report to Grandpa Huang, just four words are enough!"

"Four words? Which four words?"

"Raise business tax!"

The big deal is to find similar items, and Zhu Xiongying didn't recognize them all.

The only thing that is certain is that they are all civil servants.

And they are all from the gentry, either already have vested interests, or are preparing to become vested interests.

"No!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Huang Zicheng from the hall blurted out.

"His Royal Highness, merchants are the bottom of the world. If the merchant tax is raised, the court will first compete with the people for profit."

"Besides, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and merchants are the cheapest. If the merchant tax is raised, wouldn't merchants be able to enter the house from now on?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion couldn't help turning ugly.

Obviously what Huang Zicheng said was exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

"Ying'er, why don't you think about it?"

Think about it!

The Dai Wang standing in the back row was about to cry!

Father, we also want to think about it carefully, is there still a chance?

But at this moment, Zhu Xiongying didn't take it seriously.

"This lord thinks that farmers must earn more than businessmen?"

Huang Zicheng snorted coldly, and said in a dignified manner

"That's natural!"

"Shen Wansan was born in a poor family. When the house was raided, his assets were tens of millions. Not to mention an ordinary tenant farmer, he is a landlord in the world. Is there anyone whose wealth can compare with Shen Wansan?"

"you!"

Huang Zicheng never expected that Zhu Xiongying would drag Shen Wansan out.

"One more thing, according to my Great Ming law, the business tax is thirty one, and this lord, Shen Wansan's property, how much tax is allowed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually darkened.

Daming's business tax is not just a simple thirty tax one.

Because Daming's commercial tax thoughtfully included all the operating costs of merchants.

In other words, even with Shen Wansan's assets, if he pays Ming's commercial tax, the maximum tax payment will not exceed 1 taels of silver.

"Shen Wansan is a mere businessman with tens of millions of assets. He only needs to pay 1 taels of tax, but farmers in the 13 provinces of Ming Dynasty have to pay taxes of several million taels. Is this reasonable?"

Suddenly, Huang Zicheng was stunned by Zhu Xiongying's incoherent speech.

"That's enough! My business tax is determined by His Majesty, can't Your Majesty see this?"

Huang Zicheng passed the ball to Zhu Yuanzhang's feet with one kick.

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion was already very ugly.

But Zhu Xiongying still didn't seem to shut up.

"Your Majesty, can't be deceived by others? If I am a businessman, the first step is to let my children and grandchildren study and live in the court. When the court spends money, I can confuse the emperor, for example, by saying that I will collect next year's tax from the farmers first. Poor people, emergency response and other high-sounding benevolent and moral nonsense, anyway, the money is not paid by them, and secondly..."

Before Zhu Xiongying could finish speaking, Li Shanchang's complexion turned pale, and he couldn't help reminding:

"Your Highness, that's enough, stop talking."

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Xiongying.

"go on!"

"Secondly, if I have rivals that I can't match in business, I can still give them a label and say that they confuse the nobles and the people to compete for profit..."

With a "bang", Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the book case with a slap.

"Ying'er, in your eyes, are we a fool?!"

Chapter 44 The Great Prophet

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened with anger.

The Kings of Liao, Xiang, and Dai beside them couldn't help but tremble.

"It's over, our eldest nephew has angered the emperor."

"Keep your voice down, the emperor will look over later, we all have to die."

"Go back a little bit, leave me some space!"

"..."

Li Shanchang's complexion was pale, Zhu Xiongying was not just a grandson.

And it was Huaixi Xungui's hope to continue to live.

If Zhu Yuanzhang abolishes Zhu Xiongying, then the good days of Huaixi nobles will come to an end.

So Li Shanchang got up quickly and said

"Your Majesty, the grandson is young and ignorant..."

"Enough! You say that other people are young and ignorant, we believe it, Ying'er, are you young and ignorant?"

If Zhu Xiongying was just an ordinary child, Zhu Yuanzhang would at most treat it as a child's joke.

Haha smiled and dealt with it.

It is true that Zhu Xiongying is nearly eight years old, but although he is eight years old, he knows everything.

He even knows more about the affairs of the court than ordinary ministers.

But because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was sad.

The eye sockets couldn't help but turn slightly rosy.

People in the world don't need to understand us, but you are our good grandson, if your father doesn't understand us, don't you understand us too? !

"Grandson."

Zhu Xiongying did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would have such a big reaction with his own words.

But this is not the fault of Zhu Yuanzhang alone.

All buildings are determined by the economic foundation. The world is initially determined. There are thousands of miles of fertile land in the Central Plains, but some places are overcrowded.

If Daming now imposes a business tax, it will undoubtedly tell the world that doing business is profitable.

Who would leave their homes willingly, all the tenants who lost their land would go into business, and ten thousand mu of fertile land in the Central Plains would continue to be barren.

At that time, what is the use of having more money, after all, money cannot be eaten as steamed buns.

At its root, this is determined by the economic foundation of an agricultural country.

Originally, Zhu Xiongying still had a stomach full of words.

But seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.

Zhu Xiongying could only swallow it.

Daming, after all, is not just an armchair strategist for the Internet of later generations.

"Grandpa Emperor..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair as if all his strength had been emptied.

"That's enough, we don't want to hear it now."

King Dai, King Xiang, and King Liao could not help but gasp at the same time.

"I'll go! Is it okay for the eldest nephew to contradict the emperor like this?"

"In the past, I only obeyed my eldest brother, but now I only obey my eldest nephew!"

"The eldest nephew is mighty!"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Huang Zicheng beside him couldn't help but feel happy.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Zhu Yunqi had already got the standard answer, so he must be able to please Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wait, standard answer? !

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes had already fallen on Zhu Yunqi.

Huang Zicheng hastily opened his mouth

"Your Majesty..."

"Shut up! Yun Wen, tell me, the imperial court's financial resources are tight, how can you solve it?"

Almost everyone's eyes were on Zhu Yunqi.
