Liu Jin is having Milk Baby at home.
Well, actually, the milk baby is secondary. After all, no matter how cold the weather is, my wife and children will be hot on the bed.
On this snowy day, staying at home, naturally doing something you like to do.
" Being suddenly announced to the palace by Emperor Hongzhi, one can imagine Liu Jin's mood at this moment. He was extremely unhappy.
There really was no human power in ancient times. The emperor could do whatever he wanted. As a minister, it was exhausting work.
Now that he has been promoted to the third rank, and has been granted the title of Marquis of Liaodong, Liu Jin has regretted going to court every day. Now he is still not Zhaojin Palace. This life is not a life for human beings.
"In the future, we must trick Zhu Houzhao into changing the imperial system. Who can bear to get up at three or four o'clock every morning?"
"No matter what, it is more appropriate to change it to eight or nine o'clock in the morning."
"There is also morning dynasty every day, which is nothing. It is a lot of trivial matters that wastes so many people's time. From now on, morning dynasty should be changed to just a few times a month, and it is dedicated to discussing important matters."
While rushing to the palace, Liu Jin was thinking about changing the early dynasty system.
There is definitely no chance in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi, don¡¯t even think about it.
Emperor Hongzhi was a workaholic. He went to the morning court every day. After the morning court, he would have a small meeting with important ministers. Sometimes he would also have an evening court in the afternoon.
He is simply not human.
The ministers were actually complaining, but there was nothing they could do. Faced with such a diligent emperor, they could only give Emperor Hongzhi some high hats of being diligent and caring for the people.
??Emperor Hongzhi is a typical one. He has no means or talent to govern the country. He can only rely on constant meetings and meetings to listen to how the following ministers do things, showing that he is very diligent and attaches great importance to them.
¡°How many of the truly powerful emperors in history were so tired every day?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
The emperor who had to grasp everything was often exhausted and half-dead.
The Ming Dynasty was so big that even if it was a banquet on the Qinghai River and a peaceful country and people in peace, it still had countless things to deal with every day. After all, a person's energy is limited.
Well, Liu Jin has decided that he will definitely deceive Zhu Houzhao in the future. He will definitely be an emperor who knows how to combine work and rest.
When I arrived at the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Hongzhi, I immediately felt extremely comfortable.
"Your Majesty~"
Arriving at Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s study, Liu Jin looked at the expressions of Emperor Hongzhi and the big bosses. The two sides seemed to be arguing non-stop, and Liu Jin kept wondering in his heart what was going on.
"No need~sit down."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and asked someone to bring a stool.
"Liu Jin, do you think the imperial court's taxation will definitely make the people's livelihood miserable?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and asked after thinking about it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT????? Out of the discussion about transferring Liu Jin to the Ministry of Household Affairs, Emperor Hongzhi and several ministers were arguing over and over again, and the argument came to the question of whether to levy a business tax.
Emperor Hongzhi naturally wanted to levy commercial taxes. The court had no money and nothing could be done. How could it be done without taxation? We couldn't use our own internal funds to subsidize the state treasury in the future.
As for Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang, they were more opposed to the levy of commercial taxes and believed that national governance should be based on levying corvee and low taxes and encouraging farmers to teach farming.
This increase in taxes, no matter what kind of tax it is, will eventually fall on the heads of the common people, causing the common people to live in dire straits, breed various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and ultimately shake the country and the country.
Hearing Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words, Liu Jin was slightly startled, and then felt that his head was a bit big.
This kind of thing involving business tax is simply killing people.
The businessmen of Ming Dynasty are already very good.
¡°When I just traveled through time, these merchants in the Ming Dynasty dared to plot against the emperor, but they only had the military power to rebel.
In the past two years, Emperor Hongzhi has continuously suppressed the Jiangnan Shilin and severely reduced their power. Otherwise, who would dare to offend these businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.
From the princes and nobles of the imperial court to the local officials, their people are everywhere, and they can drown you with their saliva.
Hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, others also looked at Liu Jin, wanting to see Liu Jin's opinion.
"Your Majesty?It is normal for these people who have salvaged money from the imperial court to have huge wealth and vast hectares of fertile land.
"Hmm~"
Others also nodded one after another, wondering how the tax could be levied on themselves.
The salary of the imperial court is so low that people will starve to death if they expect it. If the family does not have some land to support it, everyone will not be able to survive.
"The gentry are exempt from taxes, but merchants and landowners can always be taxed."
When Liu Jin heard this, he smiled and said.
Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was speechless. The imperial court gave preferential treatment to scholars, and these businessmen and landowners were not included.
"Promote balance~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, the word balance was used well.
Those with land and money do not pay taxes, while those without land and money pay more taxes. This is obviously unreasonable and will definitely cause problems in the long run.
"That's well said. Promoting social balance is well said~"
Emperor Hongzhi praised with a smile on his face.
Being an emperor often means playing a balancing game. Only when the power is balanced can the emperor be able to sit firmly. Liu Jin's words won the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.
¡°Taxation also plays a very important role, that is, it can promote the development of all walks of life and regulate the development of national industry and economy.¡±
Liu Jin smiled and continued to talk about another function of taxation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
