    At the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital, Liu Jin, dressed in a crimson robe, came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report with great reluctance.

    "Mr. Gong~"

    The first person I want to see is naturally Zhong Zhong.

    "Master Liu, I don't dare to take this seriously."

    Seeing Liu Jin, Ji Zhong didn't have a good look on his face. He, the leader, was so depressed that he even vomited blood.

    Emperor Hongzhi’s dissatisfaction with him was known to the entire government and the public. At the same time, everyone also knew Emperor Hongzhi’s intention to arrange Liu Jin into the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    This is a clear decision to replace him with Liu Jin. If it weren't for Liu Jin being too young, he would probably go to Nanjing for retirement by now.

    Comparing people to each other is so annoying.

    The Liu Jin in front of me, a popular figure around Emperor Hongzhi, was promoted like a rocket. At such a young age, he was already at the level of Minister of Household Affairs.

    And if I work for a few more years, I estimate that I will soon be able to reach the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

    Think about yourself, I was a Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven, I worked hard all my life as a censor in the Supervisory Academy, and I became the Minister of Household Affairs at the age of sixty-one.

    There is simply no comparison, the gap is really too big.

    Now Emperor Hongzhi has done something like this, which has made him, the Minister of Household Affairs, lose his face, and asked Liu Jin to report anything directly to Emperor Hongzhi.

    How can I, the number one, take care of Liu Jin, my number two?

    What's more, this tax collection is the work of the Ministry of Revenue. How to arrange it should be decided by himself, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It would be better for Emperor Hongzhi to arrange it directly for Liu Jin.

    During the morning court meeting, as soon as the news came out, the faces of the entire government and the public changed. Even at this moment, these officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs looked at themselves as if they were watching the sunset, and wanted to stick to Liu Jin in front of them.  Went to the edge.

    "Mr. Ji, you are an important minister of the country. You are in charge of the household department for the imperial court. You have worked hard and made great achievements. I am a newbie here, and there are still many things I don't understand. I am afraid I will have to ask you for advice more in the future."

    Liu Jin looked at Zhong Zhong and said with a smile.

    “Old comrades, it’s normal to be a little emotional. As a newcomer, I still deserve the respect I deserve.

    Liu Jin knew very well that he should not be too arrogant, but should be low-key, humble, and cautious. The more he became an official, the more Liu Jin told himself this.

    "Mr. Liu, I am not talking about giving advice. I am also aware of your Majesty's instructions. If there is anything you need to cooperate with, just ask."

    佀Zhong saw that Liu Jin’s attitude was not bad, he also respected himself, and his tone became much better.

    He himself knew very well that he and Liu Jin were not at the same level when it came to Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was dissatisfied with him, and he would have to go down sooner or later.

    What's more, I am already sixty-one years old, and I have already started to hold the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Even if I didn't have this position, I probably wouldn't be able to work for a few more years.

    Liu Jin is different. He is a popular person around Emperor Hongzhi and has a very good relationship with the prince. He is now the minister of household affairs. In the future, he will become a minister and join the cabinet.

    So you can’t offend such people. Even if you are unhappy, you still have to recognize the situation clearly.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? is just a superficial attitude, the Minister of Household Affairs is still him.

    Now that Liu Jin is sensible and respects himself, he is not arrogant or arrogant because of favors. If he is given a chance, there is no need for him to have trouble with Liu Jin.

    "Mr. Ji, I don't dare to call myself "sir" in front of you. You can call me Xiao Liu or Liu Jin."

    "I came to the Ministry of Revenue to learn from you and listen to your orders."

    Liu Jin smiled and said, of course, the face that should be given must be given in full. I believe that this Zhongzhong is also a smart man. Don't rely on his old age to hinder his work by relying on his status as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

    People are like this, give enough face to the other party, if the other party still doesn't understand, then let's talk about it separately.

    "Haha~"

    "Master Liu is joking."

    Zhong Zhong smiled and replied.

    Liu Jin and Zhong Zhong chatted with each other to deepen their understanding of each other, and at the same time, they also became a little familiar with the personnel in the Ministry of Revenue.

    As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the country's land, taxation, household registration, population, salary, food and wages, and financial revenue and expenditure. It is almost equivalent to the Ministry of Finance in later generations. Of course, it has more power and responsibility than the latter.

    The Ministry of Household Affairs has one minister, the third rank, and two ministers, usually the fourth rank or the third rank, and the following:One-third of ??.

    But this did not satisfy them. The land they annexed was very terrible. In Henan alone, half of the land fell into the hands of several princes in Henan, such as King Zhou, King Fu, King Tang, King Zhao, King Zheng, etc.  .

    “What a mess~”

    Liu Jin let out a long sigh.

    When the Ming Dynasty reached the Hongzhi Dynasty, there were too many various problems, and if each problem was not solved, according to the original historical development trajectory, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.

    Among them, land annexation is a particularly serious matter.

    The gentry, the royal family, the garrison and the field, etc., are like huge blood-sucking insects that are constantly sucking up the increasingly thin Ming Dynasty. They are getting fatter and stronger, but they do not realize that the big tree of Ming Dynasty will soon be destroyed.  Unable to hold on, he was about to collapse.

    “Let’s take things one step at a time and eat in one bite at a time.”

    "The land tax and population tax cannot be touched for the time being, and there is no way to do so."

    “Now we still need to find ways to collect commercial taxes and customs duties.”

    Liu Jin knocked on the table and thought carefully. Emperor Hongzhi did not ask him to come to the Ministry of Revenue to drink tea. Even though he would offend people, he still had to do what needed to be done.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
