Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 229: Tax Collection is the Top Priority

Zhu Biao's mouth twitched. He never expected that Wang Buli would ask him if he made sense?

That makes so damn sense!

After answering the prince's question, Wang Buli stood up and took a walk.

I haven’t seen my little potato for a long time, so I’m going to take a quick look.

Since there is no way to avoid paying birthday wishes to Zhu Yuanzhang during the holidays, we simply take advantage of the palace and make a birthday cake.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had it, so naturally it’s in the name of my own little potatoes.

So Wang Buli strolled around and asked to see Queen Ma with his waist badge.

"My mother-in-law looks very good recently."

Wang Buli's first sentence was to coax his mother-in-law.

The two of them walked out of the door one after the other and walked side by side in the corridor.

"I?"

Wang Buli immediately stood up and took Zhu Mingxiu away.

Zhu Mingxiu smiled so hard that his dimples appeared.

Is it okay to lose weight after drinking porridge recently?

"This is also thanks to you."

"OK."

This shows that it really works!

The owner is certified!

Empress Ma had a smile on her face and eyes. In this way, she could make Chongba feel more at ease and not have to worry about his health all the time.

"I like it. I have never lived in such a big house."

If it can be spread among the people, it will always be good.

The fire bubbles in the mouth always just go down, and then grow back again.

Of course, Empress Ma mainly wanted to think about her husband, hoping to get some magical tips from her son-in-law.

Queen Ma motioned for the two of them to go for a walk in the garden and there was no need to accompany her here.

Wang Buli looked a little stunned, what does this have to do with me.

"That's great!"

"How do you like it?"

At this time, when she heard Wang Buli, the rightful owner, say that she was getting better, she was even happier than ordinary people praising her.

But there is a certain truth to it, especially if you don’t have to worry about survival, you can live a beautiful life.

"I went to see the Princess Mansion, which was very gorgeous. I also sent someone to order a shower system from Prince Yan's Mansion.

Queen Ma was very interested in Wang Buli's proposal, maybe it was some kind of fairyland play.

Zhu Mingxiu tilted his head and looked up at Wang Buli, waiting for his answer:

This kind of puzzle game is loved by people from all over the world.

Chongba has obviously lost weight these days.

"Buli, it's just that I'm getting older. Sometimes I can't remember things. I think maybe I used to use my brain too much in the past and become confused when I get older. I'm mainly worried about Chongba, he's very tired."

She bowed to her mother first, and then she sat next to Wang Buli.

Zhu Mingxiu nodded lightly. She had never been to the princess's palace. She could not move out of the palace until her wedding day.

Some women at this age have already been buried in the ground.

Although I won’t use it in winter, I’ll leave it alone for now. The winter in Nanjing isn’t too cold anyway. "

"Yeah."

"No."

Queen Ma quickly moved away to avoid being embarrassed by him.

After all, my son-in-law is quite capable of peeling off the cocoon and solving the case.

Wang Buli thought for a while:

"Mother-in-law, how about I give you a set of toys for your leisure time? You can exercise your intelligence and pass the time. You can also play with other sisters, enhance friendship, and help to relax your body and mind. In this way, your brain can be exercised and it will not be easy. Forget things.”

While talking, Zhu Mingxiu arrived.

Wang Buli responded repeatedly. He didn't know about this kind of thing.

Wang Buli thought that he would ask the craftsmen to carve a set of mahjong and give it to Queen Ma.

"It's your father's birthday, and your eldest brother wants me to celebrate his birthday with you as soon as we enter the palace, so have you prepared any gifts for your father?"

You are a family medicine practitioner, and you also know that when people are happy, they are less likely to get sick and their complexion will naturally improve. "

Especially looking at the state of Queen Ma at this age, compared with the state of ordinary women at this age, it is simply incomparable.

After all, a little leakage can solve most of the worries of mortals.

Queen Ma has been practicing Baduanjin recently.

Empress Ma knew she had made a mistake and laughed a few times:

"Buli, the better your son-in-law behaves, how can I be unhappy?

Zhu Mingxiu followed Wang Buli step by step:

"On my father's birthday, I have to accept congratulations from my ministers during the day, and there will be a family dinner in the evening for everyone to have a meal together."

"Well, let's do it this way. You are about to leave the government. Before you leave the government, I will give your father a birthday gift as a token of my love."

Wang Buli whispered his thoughts to Zhu Mingxiu.

"Go to your home."

"Ok?"

Zhu Mingxiu seemed a bit obsessed with money: "I have asked several sisters-in-law, and the palace has to support many people and spend a lot of money.

Since the birthday cake Wang Lang mentioned is a secret recipe, it can also be sold among the people in the future, which will increase our family's income. "

"Good good."

Wang Buli thought it would be better to go to his own home, but transportation would take a little more effort and more ice cubes would be used.

Especially this still needs to be tested.

The ladies of the Ming Dynasty actually didn't have many playthings, so Zhu Mingxiu asked the maid to bring the kite over and fly the kite together.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the report that Wang Buli went to see Queen Ma and took a walk with the princess in the garden.

He strode to his son's office area and said:

"Biao'er, does he have a way?"

"My brother-in-law told me a simple solution, which made me speechless."

"Ok?"

"He said that if there were no eunuchs to exercise power in the Ming Dynasty, just don't use eunuchs, once and for all."

Zhu Biao spread his hands. He was really speechless and didn't know how to refute Wang Buli.

Hearing this answer was really beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation.

Because he wants to be in the wild, and there is no such way as Wang Buli said!

No need, there are no eunuchs in the world, then there will be no eunuchs to exercise power.

But eunuchs are an extension of imperial power, and some eunuchs must be needed to do things on behalf of the emperor.

"We remember that the Eight Tigers around Zhengde are all eunuchs who have served them since childhood. We should not assign eunuchs to serve the prince since he was a child, so as not to use them easily. When they become emperor, the status of the eunuchs they serve will also rise. "

"Dad, if there are no more eunuchs, how about using more elderly maids in the palace?"

"Have you forgotten that Jiajing was assassinated by a group of maids?"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to believe anyone. But there are only men and women in the world. Is it possible that you don't use either of them?

Obviously it is impossible.

The father and son fell into silence again.

To put it bluntly, the group of eunuchs serve the emperor.

Where there is demand, there will be a market.

Unless the emperor no longer has this need, the eunuch group will naturally cease to exist.

In ancient times, if people wanted strong animals to be obedient and work honestly, they almost always castrated the animals.

The existence of eunuchs was also a "big beast" in the palace, and they could prevent other men except the emperor from getting cholera in the harem.

The reason why the Kunlun slaves of the Tang Dynasty did not reproduce in the Central Plains was that except for the merchants who wanted to choke them (new slaves could be sold every year), they were all castrated to avoid future troubles.

What's more, which noble family in the Tang Dynasty could like the Kunlun slave?

In other people's class concepts, they are two species. Do Kunlun slaves deserve to be called human beings?

The father and son talked for a long time, but they didn't have the courage to really cancel the idea of ​​eunuchs, but they were still thinking about how to fill this loophole.

"Look back, talk to Wang Buli. Eunuchs are the emperor's servants and cannot be easily abolished. Ask him to think again. I always think he has a better way, but I just don't want to say it."

Zhu Biao said he had kept it in mind and would wait until the right opportunity to talk about it.

Queen Ma heard her daughter say that she wanted to go to Wang Buli's house to make some new noodles some other day, and she agreed to give her father a gift on his birthday.

Her daughter will eventually grow up, and she also believes that Wang Buli will not do anything outrageous.

After all, for the princess, she has not yet made any noise about her official marriage, so she is afraid of the negative impact.

Queen Ma will naturally arrange for grandma to go with her, so that everyone can feel at ease.

After Wang Buli left the palace, he met some officials on duty.

Everyone is very happy that Wang Buli came to the palace today and did not go to the six departments.

Otherwise, it would be really frightening to see whoever gets caught out again.

Wang Buli's reputation in the Sixth Department is more "prestigious" than that of the school inspector!

Who made him the son-in-law of the emperor?

But what reassures everyone is that Wang Buli is just a classic, and His Majesty also thinks he is young and has no intention of promoting him.

In this way, he would not have to become a colleague with Wang Buli, and he would not have to worry about his future all the time.

Tax collection has already begun during this period, and Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a two-tax system.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang set a tax of 10%, currently the tax is not collected at this rate, but is heavily taxed in some places.

Then this year, for some unknown reason, Lao Zhu changed the way he paid taxes.

Wang Buli looked at Lao Zhu's notice to the county government, ordering the people to lose money in silver, banknotes, money, and silk. One tael of silver, one thousand coins of money, and one pound of banknotes, all at the cost of one meter or one stone.

For wheat, one stone is worth eight qian of grain and silver, 800 qian of money or 800 qian of banknote.

One piece of linen, four buckets of rice and five buckets of wheat.

It seems that the Ministry of Revenue has collected enough grain in the past two years and has focused on linen to make military uniforms.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang actually agreeing to receive treasure banknotes at equal value, Wang Buli was quite surprised.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been naughty, recycle the treasure banknotes?

Did he really make a lot of money?

Especially under the banner of floods this year, I know that the people will not have a good harvest, so I leave the food to the people. I cannot let the people go hungry.

Such a high-sounding reason actually made Wang Buli feel that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to clear his name.

However, the county magistrate Wu Wei gave an explanation:

"The fielding has been successful, and the army's food supply is safe. The capital's food reserves are enough for two years. Therefore, His Majesty has allowed many chief secretaries in the south to collect food at the same time, and there is no need to focus on food."

"understood."

Wang Buli ordered people to print out the emperor's proclamation immediately and sent people to spread it throughout the villages in Jiangning County.

Tax collection is a top priority.

The entire county government has to serve this matter.

This year's summer grain has been exempted in Jiangning County, and the people were also given treasure notes as rewards by Zhu Yuanzhang, but the collection of autumn grain cannot exceed February of next year.

Especially in Jing County, you have to finish it early.

Because according to the regulations, it cannot exceed November. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed.

Those hours are reserved for provincial capitals far away from Nanjing.

Wang Buli took the notice out of the city to announce it, which was also Dian Shi's duty.

If you don't do well, you will be implicated.

The criminal law of "sitting to death" is very serious, and all relatives and friends related to it will be implicated and die.
