    "Your Majesty, this is the situation reported by the tax bureaus in various places~"

    ¡°Tax collection work is very difficult to carry out, and various violent tax resistance incidents have occurred in various places.¡±

    "In Nanjing, the tax offices were all set on fire~"

    "Some people even beat up the imperial officials unscrupulously and violently resisted strict orders."

    "Just today, in Tianjin, Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo openly and violently resisted paying taxes and beat the court officials. Fifteen officials and officials were killed on the spot, and dozens of tax officials and officials were seriously injured."

    Liu Jin handed over the memorial respectfully and said very seriously at the same time.

    "What?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

    As for the big guys present, all of them looked in disbelief. Someone actually burned down the tax office and openly beat to death the officials and officials who were collecting taxes. Is this a royal law?

    Is there any imperial court in your eyes?

    "Even if you are a prince, noble, or relative of the emperor, you must not be ignorant of the king's laws, let alone beat all the court officials to death. You have killed more than a dozen people in one go. You will be exposed today."

    "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. The Zhang brothers are really too arrogant."

    As for whether this matter is true or false, no one needs to doubt it at all.

    The Zhang brothers are definitely people who can do such a thing.

    "In the past few years, if something had happened in the past, a large number of officials would have impeached the two brothers.

    "There is no reason for this, it is simply unreasonable~"

    Emperor Hongzhi read Liu Jin's memorial very quickly, and he couldn't help but become angry.

    This taxation work was something that Emperor Hongzhi was determined to change.

    "If we don't change the tax system, there will be no money. If the court has no money, nothing can be done."

    Now Liu Jin¡¯s meaning is very simple and he needs your support.

    "Your Majesty, Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bomu have no royal laws and openly beat to death more than a dozen court officials. I ask your Majesty to uphold justice~"

    Liu Jin expressed his attitude very directly.

    "My own officials were beaten to death. If I didn't even say a word, who would dare to do things for me in the future, and how would the world view me?"

    Therefore, Liu Jin¡¯s attitude must be firm on this matter, and he must make the decision for the officials under him and seek justice.

    "Your Majesty, I also think that Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo should be severely punished. They blatantly appoint officials to the court without any royal laws. If they are not severely punished, I am afraid that the people of the world will not be convinced."

    Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, also stood up and expressed his stance.

    On this matter, he must also express his position. The Zhang brothers are too arrogant. Even if you are the emperor's brother-in-law, you can never openly beat to death more than a dozen court officials. Arrogance is arrogance, but you can't touch the bottom line.

    ¡°In the past, arrogance was arrogance, and domineering was indeed domineering, but it was not so much that one dared to kill a court official. Such arrogance was mostly for bullying ordinary people.

    Even though everyone wants to take control, they often turn a blind eye and have no choice. Who knows that they are the brother-in-law of Emperor Hongzhi.

    Who asked Emperor Hongzhi to have only one wife? The key is that Emperor Hongzhi loved Empress Zhang very much and was very conniving with the Zhang brothers, otherwise it would be more than that.

    "Your Majesty, those who have no regard for the king's laws and kill the imperial officials must be severely punished~"

    "Yes, it must be severely punished~"

    Others also stood up and expressed their opinions.

    Although everyone does not actually want Liu Jin to collect taxes, but one code is one code, and the court officials were beaten to death openly. The court has lost its majesty. Then who among them officials will care about it in the future.

    "Pass the message~"

    "Immediately summon Hou Ninghou and Uncle Jianchang back to the capital. I will punish them severely~"

    "Catch all those who beat up the imperial officials and killed the imperial officials and punish them severely~"

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned, thought about it and gave the order.

    It was definitely impossible to kill Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo. He didn't want to sleep in separate beds with Queen Zhang, but their men couldn't let them go.

    After calling the two brothers back, Emperor Hongzhi was also prepared to personally come out and give the two brothers a lesson. Even the imperial officials dared to kill them. There was nothing they couldn't do.

    "Yes~"

    Xiao Jing listened??violent~¡±

    "The taxation standards of our tax yamen are set by His Majesty and the princes of the DPRK and China. Except for special industries, the tax rate for all other walks of life is only eight hundred and eighty at most. The tax rate can be said to be  Quite low.¡±

    "As for worrying about random taxation by local government agencies, there is no need to worry, because local government Yamen can also play a supervisory role. Once taxation is random, they can be quickly informed and dealt with."

    "The duty of the tax agent is to urge tax payment, not to impose excessive taxes. Reasonable taxation is also for the operation of the court and the country of the Ming Dynasty."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and explained.

    Officials of this era, in the final analysis, do not want to collect taxes, because they always feel that collecting taxes is bad, it is excessive levy, and the people will not make a living, etc., but they do not realize the importance of taxation.

    "Hmm~"

    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s explanation, Emperor Hongzhi and everyone nodded, saying that he was right.

    How to collect and what proportion to collect is the final decision of the emperor and the princes in the court. These officials and officials below are just executors. How can they collect arbitrarily and violently? In the end, everything is still at the center.  The emperor and these powerful DPRK bosses.

    "Then according to your wishes, set up a special tax agent."

    "You can just draw up a charter and formulate relevant rules and regulations in detail."

    After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi also agreed to Liu Jin¡¯s proposal. Since he supports Liu Jin, he will support it to the end.
