    Qianqing Palace, the study room of Emperor Hongzhi.

    Emperor Hongzhi, the three elders of the cabinet, the British Duke Zhang Mao, the Minister of Household Affairs Zhong Zhong, the Minister of War Liu Daxia and other six ministers each held a copy of the tax reform plan formulated by Liu Jin in their hands, and they all read it carefully.

    Some people have expressionless faces, some have deep frowns, and still others have a slight smile on their faces.

    "The plan is very good, very detailed, and very feasible."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

    Liu Jin is very efficient in his work and always able to satisfy himself. He is talented and responsible, and he has a belief in truly benefiting the people of the world.

    This is the reason why Emperor Hongzhi liked Liu Jin.

    Although Liu Jin did not open his mouth to serve the country, the country, and the people, everything Liu Jin did was sincerely benefiting the people, doing practical things for this country, this nation, and the Ming Dynasty.  Good thing.

    On the other hand, the other ministers, although they all kept their mouths open, talked about whether they were doing light corvee and paying little tax, competing for profits with the people, or doing it for the sake of the country and the country.

    However, they often sit back and eat without thinking about progress. They are immersed in the fantasy of Confucian governance and cannot extricate themselves, unable to come up with plans and practical actions.

    Among them, Zhou Jing and Ji Zhong are the most typical representatives.

    civil?

    What is the people?

    Liu Jin said it well, the gentry are the people, the businessmen are also the people, and the farmers are even more the people. In the eyes of these civil servants, only the gentry and businessmen are the people, so they must not be taxed, otherwise these 'people' will not be able to live.  .

    For civil servants like Zhou Jing and Zhong Zhong, they wished that the treasury would be empty, so that the court would have no money and the emperor would have no money. Naturally, there would be nothing to do, and it would be much easier for them as officials.

    As for the rampant Japanese pirates, foreign invasions, raging famines, etc., these must be the emperor's failure to do well, and even the emperor's moral character has been damaged, so God will bring these disasters to remind the emperor to cherish his people.  We should be diligent and frugal, we should take corvee lightly and pay little in taxes, we should be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, etc.

    With the comparison, Emperor Hongzhi felt more and more that many ministers, apart from being rice bugs, had no role at all in the country and the country.

    Of course, Emperor Hongzhi did not realize that this was actually the inevitability of Confucian education.

    Confucianism has developed to this point and has completely solidified. It has restricted thoughts and resisted new things. This is doomed to lead it to decay and decline.

    Officials under such a system may be able to talk about it or write beautiful text, but it can only be able to break through in the framework where the predecessors have been limited, and have no way to break through and achieve new development.

    Ideological confinement is the most terrifying thing, and only ideological breakthroughs can create new brilliance.

    "Liu Jin, there is no problem in setting up the Municipal Shipping Department, but is it appropriate for us to collect taxes in places like Hyogo Tsu and Crescent City?"

    After reading it, Li Dongyang thought for a while and asked: "These places have not been our Ming Dynasty since ancient times. Ryukyu is okay, Hyogojin is only rented by us from the Japanese country. As for Crescent City, it originally belonged to the Luzon Kingdom.  Manila."

    "Of course it is appropriate. These places did not belong to our Ming Dynasty before, but they will belong to our Ming Dynasty in the future. Since they are the land of our Ming Dynasty, they naturally need to pay taxes to our Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°It¡¯s not just Hyogozu and Crescent City. Wherever our Ming Dynasty expands in the future, the land and people everywhere will have to pay taxes to our Ming Dynasty.¡±

    "Mr. Li, the times are constantly changing. The world outside the Ming Dynasty is very big. There are too many unclaimed lands. This is a good era for our people of the Ming Dynasty to forge ahead."

    "Everywhere my people of the Ming Dynasty go shall be the land of my Ming Dynasty!"

    "Anyone who is willing to be loyal to our great Ming Dynasty and our great tomorrow"sp; Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, also stood up and expressed his stance.

    "I second the proposal~"

    Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhong Zhong, Liu Daxia and others also nodded.

    Some things are just like this. First of all, it must be justified. First, this place should be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Like the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, it should be set up as a province, set up government offices, appoint officials, and also dispatch garrison troops.

    ¡°This way we can let everyone know that these places are the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and the people here are the people of our Ming Dynasty.

    If there is any conflict in the future, Ming Dynasty can justifiably send troops to protect its land and people.

    As for whether other countries and people recognize it or not, does it matter?

    ??What does it matter?

    ¡°Anyway, this is how Ming Dynasty does things. If you are not convinced, you can try my Ming Dynasty¡¯s powerful ships and cannons.

    ¡°It¡¯s really the butt that determines the head. I did the right thing in the past, but from now on, we should not only help the generals and nobles to make a fortune, but also the civil servants, gentry, and big families.¡±

    Liu Jin was slightly dumbfounded. They were originally discussing taxation, but now it was brought to this topic, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
