Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 285 Prince Consort, This is Something That Infuriates Everyone

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the early immigrants should be arranged as close as possible along the river. In this way, it will be more convenient and less expensive to move by water transport."

Wang Buli pointed at the map and said: "We trade with Korea, Japan and other places, instead of letting them transport goods to Nanjing.

It is better to put those iron ore mines directly in Shandong and other places. In this way, we can also recruit a group of people to work on the docks, expand the employment rate, and then directly go from Shandong to Dagukou through sea transportation, and reach Peking faster. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map and thought about Wang Buli's suggestion.

According to the planned project of renovating the canal, migrating people along the river will not only irrigate the fields better, but will also have the opportunity to earn money from the people of Yingtian Mansion in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "Well, that can be done, there are also guards guarding it.

It would also be nice if they could unload and load goods on weekdays and sell their energy to earn some money for drinks.

Even if Japanese pirates don’t come often, they still have to be on guard! "

At present, Lao Zhu treats soldiers quite well, and mostly rewards the soldiers stationed in the north.

"This time we are short of time, so we will handle it this way from now on."

Moreover, Wang Buli's words showed the attitude of a lot of people towards the surrounding barbarians, and Zhu Yuanzhang could also understand it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very strict on corruption in the army. He had also seen the poverty and poverty of the Ming Dynasty's guardsmen.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had cultivated the prince very much, but he also devoted sixty-seven percent of his cultivation to the other sons.

Especially the places where the Great Wall was built are mostly high mountains and raised terrain.

Wang Buli laughed and sat aside. At this time, someone came in to pour tea.

At present, we can only solve it a little bit, which is a drop in the bucket.

In recent years, although the army has been allowed to farm in the north to support itself, it has not yet been fully supported.

Many guardsmen have become beggars, which only shows that the Ming Dynasty's army has become as corrupt as Wang Buli said.

Wang Buli nodded lightly and asked another question:

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about this kind of military affairs, but I think we should avoid the behavior of free money.

"Good guy, I thought that based on Goryeo's technology, the quality of their iron smelting would be very poor, so that we wouldn't have to worry about the second re-smelting."

According to the extended inner side of the Great Wall, not all places are suitable for growing food, and it is unrealistic for soldiers to farm nearby.

It's not copperware.

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's greeting, he told them to leave first. After reviewing the memorial, he would have a meal or something at noon.

Those soldiers who worked hard to move goods had part of the money taken away by the officers who were in charge of them, so the gain outweighed the loss.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, it would be better to let Goryeo directly refine the iron ore into iron blocks next time, so that the value can be greater."

Wang Buli followed Hu Weiyong to the prime minister's office to rest.

He really couldn't stand Hu Weiyong's enthusiasm, which made Wang Buli very wary.

What's more, they didn't come to the Central Plains to pay tribute only since the Ming Dynasty. They had learned some Chinese technologies long ago.

If Emperor Chongzhen had 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers loyal to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Zicheng would not be able to accomplish anything.

Those Japanese pirates who were smaller in number were able to fight all the way to the outside of Nanjing. As a result, the guardsmen of the Ming Dynasty didn't even have any decent clothes, so what a fight!

Don't think that those small foreign countries are all monkeys, they also have some skills.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to Hu Weiyong's handling of government affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this would prevent outsiders from losing money. Instead of the court always giving money, it would be better for them to earn some themselves, so that the court's rewards for them could be reduced.

"Hu Xiang, isn't this busy?"

If it weren't for the quick harvest of the Mongols, Goryeo would never have been allowed to do this.

Immigrating to the north can also slow down the blood-sucking of Jiangnan.

In the end, it can only be concluded that he ascended the throne in his early years and was not affected by the imperial education at all.

There was no general under Chongzhen who had military power and was loyal to him. Zhu Yuanzhang had always been puzzled by this matter.

Hu Weiyong mentioned that he had just received the list of goods.

Or if someone is brave enough to just let them work for nothing, that's not guaranteed. "

The value of transporting iron ore is too low and also risky.

But doesn’t the feudal king control the army?

Hu Weiyong didn't know how to write ink. He understood that Wang Buli never wanted to be worthy, so he just wanted to be lazy, which wasted all his talents.

Therefore, Hu Weiyong did not want to have a relationship with him at this time. Being too obvious would make people wary.

"Well, I really need to arrange this kind of thing in advance, otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

"Buli, I've been wanting to talk to you lately, but I never thought I couldn't call you."

The Ming Dynasty is now draining the blood of Jiangnan to maintain peace on the northern border and maintain supplies for the war in the north.

What's more, Wang Buli's suggestions are also very good.

Listening to Wang Buli's complaints, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

Zhu Yuanzhang never gave up on the army. This was the foundation of his life and the foundation of Ming Dynasty.

"Bu Li, actually I don't have anything to do. The main thing is about Jiangnan that His Majesty said." Hu Weiyong pinched his beard: "Ding Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan was extremely prosperous, even Nanjing couldn't compare."

Wang Buli also knew clearly that the development of the Ming Dynasty was extremely unbalanced. Just a few years after peace was restored, Jiangnan's old foundation suddenly improved.

"Based on a simple survey in the three years of Hongwu, the number of wealthy households has increased from 10,000 to 10,000. His Majesty's intention is to weaken the wealthy households in Jiangnan as much as possible. These wealthy households include landlords, businessmen, and bullies.

The last one is easy to do, but the first two cannot be done without a name.

Now they are very supportive of His Majesty's special national debt. When the Ming Dynasty government handles affairs, we must have a good reputation, otherwise the people will be scattered and the team will be even more difficult to lead. "

In the 24th year of Hongwu and the first year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty carried out two migrations. Lao Zhu enriched Nanjing and Zhu Di enriched Beijing.

"I heard that all those people in Jiangnan miss the Yuan Dynasty?"

"Hey, we can't do it out of nowhere."

Hu Weiyong is quite principled in this regard.

"Then pretend I didn't say it."

Wang Buli feels that for things like rebellion, Jin Yiwei must be experienced, and he can find ways to implicate you even if you are not guilty.

"This group of people has a strong wealth foundation. In addition, the world has been stable for ten years and there have been no major disasters. There is no shortage of food in the Jiangnan region, and handicrafts and commerce have become more developed."

At this time, Hu Weiyong also looked worried about the country and the people: "Most of them are "rich" people."

Wang Buliye listened to Hu Weiyong's explanation.

Many rich people will turn into big landowners when they get rich. Whether they are lending money at usury or lowering prices to acquire land, they will eventually turn the owners into landless people, and even make future generations their slaves.

"Buli, just tell me, how should we deal with these people?"

"In terms of taxation, Hu Xiang might as well refer to the reform of commercial taxation."

After Wang Buli finished speaking, Hu Weiyong began to think.

The new commercial tax system was distributed to various places at the beginning of the year.

That is to encourage small traders and inhibit big businessmen.

The higher the transaction volume, the higher the business tax paid.

With such a stepped tax increase, Hu Weiyong saw that the commercial tax collected in the first quarter was indeed much higher than last year.

This is also because the "consort" leaked some news in advance among the wealthy businessmen, and they rushed to purchase special government bonds to reduce their business taxes.

In turn, whoever owns more land will have to pay more taxes, the same stepped tax collection.

Hu Weiyong did not dare to accept the conversation easily.

Whoever owns more land must be Your Majesty!

The rest are the vassal kings, and the nobles of Huaixi are not the big ones.

In order to rectify the big landowners in the south of the Yangtze River, they also planned to use their own little land.

There was no need to wait for the people from Jiangnan to attack him. Hu Weiyong felt that he could not suppress the people like the Huaixi Honorables below.

Do you really think that those big bosses in the army will just listen to you just because they see you as the Prime Minister?

It's not you who brought them benefits.

If their interests are damaged, do you think you, the Prime Minister, can still say the right thing?

What's more, Wang Buli followed His Majesty's instructions to attack those Ya people a while ago.

For their own benefit, the nobles behind the Yaren did not listen to Hu Weiyong and came to the county government to find trouble. However, after being beaten up by Wang Buli's order, they all became honest.

As a result, the atmosphere in Nanjing changed for the better, and no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

Even if Wang Buli did not go on duty, Zhong Niu and other detectives did not find anyone who dared to cause trouble.

It’s just that difficult and complicated cases are really hard to solve, so no one cares about them.

"Our Prince Consort, I'm afraid the move you mentioned is a bit stressful and can easily make people angry."

Hu Weiyong said carefully.

When it comes to doing business, the nobles of Huaixi don’t have this awareness yet.

Most of them manage the fertile fields given to them by His Majesty.

Therefore, this progressive commercial tax system has little interest for them.

But if you really want to farm, it will be different.

Wang Buli also knew clearly that officials and gentry all received food from one person.

As a beneficiary, how could Hu Weiyong promote it?

The world belongs to Lao Zhu, not to him, Lao Hu.

There are also many fields in Lao Hu's family.

Do I take the initiative to cut my body for Daming?

Stop fucking dreaming.

I have suffered all the hardships in my life with Zhu Chongba over the years.

Our descendants will have to live a more relaxed life under the shadow of our hard-earned achievements.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all our suffering in this life be in vain?

Hu Weiyong knew very well that once the court wanted to interfere with the land tax, there would be a big storm. Even if he was the prime minister, he could not guarantee what the consequences would be.

So he was silent for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Buli, do you think that once this progressive taxation is implemented, can it not include the Ming Dynasty clan and nobles?"

"I'm mainly worried that Your Majesty won't agree for the sake of the clan, and also won't make the old brothers who have followed him through life and death sad for the sake of a little profit."

Wang Buli didn't want to be Chao Cuo. He was only responsible for giving Hu Weiyong advice. Anyway, he wouldn't admit that he said such things after he left the house.

Especially Wang Buli felt that Hu Weiyong was the one who thought this way, so he even took out Lao Zhu!

Give me a break.

Why doesn't he want his old brothers to be sad?

How many old brothers were killed by Hongwu in the middle and later stages!

In order to expand state-owned land, Lao Zhu began to hint that the Huaixi nobles should "retreat from the land" to ensure peace.

Then a large number of wise people retreated from the fields that Lao Zhu had originally rewarded them with.

Even your nine clans, Hu Weiyong, are gone, not to mention your family property and fields.
