    At the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing, with the tax system reform plan finalized, Liu Jin¡¯s daily life has become extremely busy.

    As a third-rank official, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Marquis of Liaodong, it is necessary to attend this morning court.

    ??Although in Liu Jin¡¯s view, this early dynasty was really boring, and even in Liu Jin¡¯s view, many of the early dynasties in the Hongzhi Dynasty were formalistic.

    Every morning in the morning, there are so many things to discuss. Most of the time it is just trivial things. It is a waste of time, and it is a waste of the time of many ministers.

    Real national affairs are often not decided in the morning court. As some people said in later generations, meetings with many people are not important, and important meetings with not many people. The early court is a typical example of the former.

    After attending the morning court every day, Liu Jin would sometimes attend a small meeting with Emperor Hongzhi, report his work to Emperor Hongzhi, and chat along the way.

    In this way, the whole morning passed, and all the time for real office work was spent in the afternoon.

    There are many things about tax reform.

    ??The establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department and the establishment of a tax office directly under the imperial household department were all good. After Liu Jin handed over the instructions, there were naturally many officials under him who were busy on Liu Jin's behalf.

    The real difficulty lies in the training of tax officials and officials.

    The officials of this era are all officials who have passed the imperial examination. If you ask them to write beautiful articles, everyone will be very good at it, and you can easily find a lot of talents.

    But if you ask them to do arithmetic, calculate the value of goods, determine the amount of taxation, etc., many times these people will turn a blind eye.

    This is not sarcastic or random, but really makes Liu Jin feel broken.

    ?????????????????????????????????????? apart out out of mind, they are all scholars after all. Although they mainly focus on the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight-Part Articles, they should also dabble in arithmetic and the like.

    However, in fact, most officials do not know how to count. Moreover, these people have basically grown up with food to open their mouths and clothes to stretch out their hands. They do not need to count at all. Many of them even do not understand some basic common sense.

    It truly embodies the saying that all things are inferior, only reading is superior.

    The imperial examination is very difficult. It requires not only talent, but also a lot of hard work. Many people have become nerds and do not understand anything other than this.

    This is similar to the examination-oriented education of later generations. Except for the content and scope of the examination, other subjects are miscellaneous courses that can be squeezed out.

    The various rules and regulations, the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department, the tax yamen, etc. are not difficult for Liu Jin. The Municipal Shipping Department can refer to the Municipal Shipping Department of the Song Dynasty for its establishment, and then combine it with the customs of later generations to formulate relevant rules and regulations.  It's not difficult.

    It is not difficult to set up a tax office. It can be easily done by referring to the tax system of Western time and the tax system of later generations.

    What really drove Liu Jin crazy was the lack of suitable manpower. There were many people who came to report, but there were very few people who knew mathematics, could do arithmetic, and were familiar with various goods.

    There was no other way, Liu Jin had to stand on the podium again, faced the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and began to teach and train the teachers.

    In a huge room in the Ministry of Hubu, everyone from the Minister of Hubu, Shi Zhong, and the right minister Shi Jie, to the ordinary officials and officials from the Ministry of Hubu, plus reports from all over the Ming Dynasty arrived in the capital one after another, and were then assigned to the Hubu.  Ministry of Juren.

    The whole room was packed with people, and everyone was looking at Liu Jin at the front, watching Liu Jin's eloquent lectures on the podium.

    "Everyone, please remember one sentence: Taxes are taken from the people and used for the people!"

    "Perhaps everyone has always felt that the imperial court's tax collection was squeezing the people, so many people were unwilling to come to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

    "But do you know that if the court has no money or silver, then what can the court do to support the army? If the army is not strong, what can we, the Ming Dynasty, do to resist foreign invasions?"

    ¡°In the past, the grassland people went south every year, blocked the customs every year, and burned, killed, and looted wantonly in our Central Plains. Every year, tens of thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty died under the butcher knives of the grassland people.¡±

    "My Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, but the total population of the grasslands is less than a million."

    "Why don't we even dare to fight head-on when facing the prairie people? We can only watch them go south year after year?"

    Liu Jin looked at everyone present. He was poor at math and didn¡¯t know common sense. He was a scholar. He could learn well.On the grassland, when going to the border area of ??Ming Dynasty, it is more appropriate to have more contact with the soldiers at the border first.  "

    Then Liu Jin gave him a ruthless look and said.

    "No, no, I don't want to go to the grassland, I don't want to go to the border~"

    When Geng Yuanlu heard this, he immediately became anxious. If Liu Jin sent him to the border and grassland, it would be over.

    "Sit down, what are you shouting about? As a scholar, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. It will be good for you to go out and see more."

    Liu Jin immediately glared at him fiercely. Geng Yuanlu could only slowly sit on the chair, his whole face turned dark, it was over!

    "A war between two countries is not just a battle of life and death on the battlefield, but more often a contest between the strength of the entire country."

    "In the past, our Ming Dynasty could not defeat the grassland people. One of the important reasons was that our court was short of money and had no silver. Therefore, even though our Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of people, the grassland people were only less than one million."

    "But we have been defeated by them time and time again and bullied by them."

    "Why is it that our great Ming Dynasty, which is so great, doesn't even have enough money to defeat the grassland people?"

    "It is because our Ministry of Household Affairs has not done a good job in tax collection. Many people do not know the importance of this tax. They do not understand that this tax is taken from the people and used for the people" (Remember the website address: www  .hlnovel.com
