    Beijing, the study room of Qianqing Palace.

    "Your Majesty, Jiangnan has always been an important tax area for our Ming Dynasty, but judging from the taxes paid by Southern Zhili this year, the proportion of taxes paid by Southern Zhili is less than one-tenth of our Ming Dynasty's treasury revenue.  First, it is far different from Beizhili."

    "Although there are many factors involved, the most important factor is due to extremely serious tax evasion and tax evasion by businessmen in Southern Zhili, and the extremely uncooperative tax collection by the government offices of various states in Southern Zhili."

    "Therefore, I believe that a capable minister must be placed in the position of the Chief Envoy of Southern Zhili to reverse the situation in Southern Zhili, ensure the stability of our tax revenue in Jiangnan during the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time promote Jiangnan and the entire southern Ming Dynasty and along the Yangtze River.  The development of cross-strait areas.¡±

    Liu Jin held a list in his hand. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Jin had the most say in the appointment, removal and assessment of officials in the Ming Dynasty. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel could directly appoint and remove people of the fourth rank and below.  officials.

    The appointment and removal of third-grade and second-grade officials first need to go through the Ministry of Personnel, and then be discussed by the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel, and finally submitted to the emperor for review.

    It can be said that the power Liu Jin holds in his hands is already very huge. The level of fourth-grade officials is basically the level of prefects and magistrates in various prefectures.

    A few days ago, Emperor Hongzhi dismissed and demoted dozens of second-rank officials at once. Liu Jin was suddenly very busy. Dozens of second-rank officials were involved in dozens of feudal officials.  Moreover, they are all top leaders in various places, which naturally requires careful selection.

    "Hmm~"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly. Emperor Hongzhi was still very clear about the situation in Jiangnan.

    Before this, officials from Jiangnan were almost half of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what kind of policy was unfavorable to the merchants, landlords and gentry in Jiangnan, it would almost always be abolished and strongly opposed.

    Any official who mentions commercial taxes will be killed by officials from Jiangnan, so that everyone knows that the court has no money and nothing can be done, but still no one dares to collect commercial taxes for him.

    Had it not been for several major cases that followed, which dealt a severe blow to Jiangnan officials, it would have been almost impossible for Liu Jin to want tax reform. You must know that at the time of tax reform, the memorials to impeach Liu Jin were like snowflakes.  General flew to Emperor Hongzhi's desk.

    In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, this Jiangnan was not the Jiangnan of his old Zhu family at all, but the Jiangnan of those businessmen, earthquakes, gentry, and big families.

    Here, the court's decrees are not as useful as the words of a gentry, and many of the court's policies here are almost difficult to implement.

    For example, in the past, the salt quota system in Naikaizhong was basically rotten. The border troops had no food, the imperial court had no money, and the households in the salt fields in the Jianghuai area were squeezed to death. It can be said that both the imperial court and the people at the bottom  Neither households nor ordinary people have enjoyed many benefits.

    However, these salt merchants and big families in the Jiangnan area were enriched, so that huge interest groups such as Hui merchants and salt merchants were formed. Relying on these interest groups, they formed a terrifying force that could influence the situation of the Ming Dynasty.  .

    "Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

    Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked.

    The position of the chief envoy of Southern Zhili is very important. He is the most powerful official in the Jiangnan region, but not the biggest official, because there is a whole team here in Nanjing, and the six ministries in Nanjing all have ministers and ministers.

    ¡°However, the six-department team here in Nanjing, Nadu Nursing Home, has no real power. It is mainly used to house some officials who are embarrassing the emperor, or officials who have angered the emperor.

    "I recommend Wang Shouren!"

    Liu Jin pondered for a while, thought about it and said.

    Wang Shouren and himself both passed the Jinshi examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign, and they have been following him on his expeditions in the past few years. There is no doubt about his talent and ability.

    Compared with the troubled experiences in history, because Liu Jin, a time-traveler, is now Lao Wang, his official career was prosperous and he was rising through the ranks. Now he is already a third-rank official, and because of his repeated military exploits, he was also granted the title of  The Duke of Guo can be said to be a rising star in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, but he is a little worse than Liu Jin.

    "Wang Shouren?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, after pondering for a while, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

    He had noticed Wang Shouren for a long time, and even put him and Liu Jin together. Before the operation, he had even made it clear to Zhu Houzhao that Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were truly talented.It seems that they can't make a big impact, and they don't seem to threaten the rule of the imperial court.

    But Liu Jin before the time travel was an ordinary citizen, and he could clearly understand the feelings of an ordinary citizen. These evil forces were like dark clouds above the common people, specializing in bullying kind people, making people gnash their teeth.  But there is often nothing we can do against them.

    In later generations, before the crackdowns on gangs and evil were carried out, major cities would be in chaos. Blatant robbery and murder were commonplace. Every year, no one knows how many people disappear and how many beautiful girls are lost.  connect.

    Crossing it, since you have a great power, it can affect the highest -level decision -making, and naturally you have to do something.

    "Your Majesty, I also believe that a special campaign should be carried out to eliminate evil."

    Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others also expressed their opinions that the capital was a little uneasy and it was time to clean it up.

    "Well, Zhang Mao and Xiao Jing, you two are responsible for this matter."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded solemnly, and then gave instructions to Zhang Mao and Xiao Jing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
