    The Imperial Palace Qianqing Palace, the office of Emperor Hongzhi.

    Emperor Hongzhi was smilingly accepting the New Year's greetings from important ministers, including the three cabinet elders: Hubu Shangshu Zhong Zhong, War Shangshu Liu Daxia, Fifth Army Governor Zhang Mao, as well as the Staff Shangshu Wang Hao, the Rites Shangshu Fu Han and others.  Emperor Hongzhi named Liu Jin and Prince Zhu Houzhao.

    "Fourteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors and the dedication of all of you, our Ming Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. I am very happy to congratulate you~"

    Emperor Hongzhi was all smiles when facing the New Year blessings from his ministers, lamenting that time flies by.

    Emperor Hongzhi was eighteen years old and is now thirty-two years old.

    ??The age of thirty-two, if placed in future generations, would have just begun. Many people are still unmarried children.

    But look at Emperor Hongzhi who is sitting on the dragon throne. He looks very old. His whole body is gloomy and his hair is gray, as if he is an old man in his fifties who is about to die.

    This is related to the fact that Emperor Hongzhi was frail and sick since he was a child and was in poor health.

    Because of the persecution of Concubine Wan Gui when he was a child, even the emperor's son did not dare to appear in everyone's sight. He relied on the protection of the palace maids and eunuchs to survive.

    ¡°Eating from hundreds of families, wearing hundreds of clothes, eating one meal but not the next, this also left the root of the disease in his body.

    "In addition, after becoming emperor, he was very diligent and frugal. His diligence in handling credentials was probably only compared to the comrades of Lao Zhu, the founder of the country, who could compare with him.

    The long-term labor of writing documents also caused huge pressure on him. In addition, at the beginning of the Hongzhi Dynasty, all kinds of things were very annoying.

    There are eager prairie people in the north, the chieftains in the southwest are constantly rebelling, Japanese pirates are rampant in the southeastern coastal areas, the civil servants dominate the government and the public, the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done.

    All these combined made Emperor Hongzhi mentally and physically exhausted, making him look very old even at his young age.

    Otherwise, the age of thirty-two should be the peak period of life and the most productive period of life.

    Fortunately, in the past few years, Liu Jin traveled through time and the wings of the time traveler flashed, which brought about huge changes.

    The situation in the Ming Dynasty is constantly improving, the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and the promotion of ZTE is definitely not just the boast of civil servants, but the real ZTE.

    The improvement of the Ming Dynasty's situation also made Emperor Hongzhi worry about a lot less things, so his complexion has improved in the past two years.

    ??History is that Emperor Hongzhi died of illness in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, that is, four years later. As for now, Liu Jin does not know how long the Emperor Hongzhi in front of him can live.

    To be honest, Liu Jin still hopes that he can live longer.

    He was a good emperor, with a good temper, a good person, and a good heart. Sometimes, in Liu Jin's view, he was not suitable to be an emperor or the king of a country at all.

    A good man cannot be an emperor!

    But Liu Jin still hopes that he can live longer and work for such an emperor, so that he can feel at ease and not worry that he will be in disaster because of some things.

    And the prince Zhu Houzhao is still too young and very playful. If Emperor Hongzhi can survive for a few more years, Zhu Houzhao is older and his temperament is more restrained, it may be much better for the Ming Dynasty.

    "Liu Jin?"

    Liu Jin was deep in thought, but he didn't hear Emperor Hongzhi naming him.

    "Oh~Your Majesty~"

    Liu Jin came back to his senses and quickly said respectfully.

    "Liu Jin, it's a new year, do you have anything to say?"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin. This Liu Jin was a little strange today, but he didn't think much about it and asked again.

    "Your Majesty~"

    "My lords~"

    "As the saying goes, a year's plan begins in spring, and a day's plan begins in the morning. The same is true for our Ming Dynasty."

    "I think that on the occasion of the next New Year, the imperial court should make a New Year's plan. For example, in the new year, the amount of tax silver in Ming Dynasty should reach 30 million taels of silver. At the same time, it should also work out how to spend it.  Come up with a plan to get rid of these 30 million taels of silver."

    ¡°For example, this year, our Ming Dynasty will build cement roads from the capital to Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong, or our Ming Dynasty will immigrate how many people and cultivate how many fields in Liaodong.¡±

    ¡°Set a New Year¡¯s goal at the beginning of the New Year so that you can follow it throughout the year.nbsp; Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

    How could 30 million taels of silver be too much? Just for these industries under Liu Jin's command, if tax money was paid, it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver. There are more than a dozen industries. On average, one industry would pay one  One million taels of silver, that's really drizzle.

    Therefore, the tax collection target of 30 million taels is really not much in Liu Jin¡¯s opinion.

    "As for whether it will affect people's livelihood, your Majesty, please rest assured, because land tax and population tax are not included in it, but are collected by local governments. This tax will not increase, so it will not affect the lives of the people at the bottom.  .¡±

    "If it really has an impact, it may have an impact on businessmen, factory owners, workshop owners, trading houses, etc., but these are wealthy people, and they should pay taxes after making money."

    "Only when our court has money, can our court have more power to protect the interests of our Ming people, and at the same time, it can also play the role of taxation, appropriately adjust the distribution of social wealth, and take into account the people at the bottom."

    "For example, if the court is rich, it can exempt the population tax from tax, never increase taxes, etc. This will not only not affect people's livelihood, but also reduce the burden of the people at the bottom." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel  .com
