    In addition, the taxation situation of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly improved. In recent years, the tax collected by the court has been increasing year by year. Now the tax collected by the court in a year has exceeded 500 million taels of silver.

    This is an extremely huge figure. Five hundred million taels of silver were collected in one year, and the imperial treasury could not contain it. For this reason, another warehouse had to be built.

    In addition, in addition to taxes and money, the collection of physical goods, such as grain, cloth, tea, etc., has also increased year by year, many times more than before.

    The granaries set up by the imperial court in various places have long been filled with food, and there is no way to eat it all. The food collected by the imperial court alone is enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty for several years.

    These were things that were unimaginable before.

    You must know that in the ninth year of Hongzhi, the tax collected by the court per year was less than three million taels. This included the salt tax after the tax was opened. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the taxes collected by various places were  The amount of tax money is pitiful. In many cases, a large and wealthy county in the south of the Yangtze River can only collect more than a dozen taels of silver a year, which is simply unbelievable.

    As for the physical goods collected, they have also been decreasing year by year. A large amount of land has been attached to the famous gentry and gentry to avoid the court's taxation. The granaries set up in various places are often empty, so that during disaster relief, it is often found that there is no food available.

    Emperor Hongzhi saw such a huge difference.

    Of course, this includes the economic development brought about by the rapid development of capitalism and colonialism in the Ming Dynasty. Huge amounts of wealth can be plundered from overseas every year. In addition, the continuous expansion of the Ming Dynasty's territory has led to an increase in tax revenue.

    But it was crucial for Liu Jin to implement tax reform, set up tax yamen, and use strong means to collect taxes. Without this, those wealthy gentry and businessmen would not pay a single copper coin no matter how much money they earned.

    The second is the administrative reform and assessment system, which includes tax revenue as an important assessment indicator.

    There are some officials who have no job, but most of them still want to climb up the ranks. Naturally, they have to do what Liu Jin did and actively and diligently cooperate with the tax yamen to collect local taxes in order to improve their assessment indicators.  Get a promotion.

    Emperor Hongzhi saw these in his eyes and remembered them in his heart, so he has always fully supported Liu Jin.

    Now after hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi also started thinking seriously.

    Do you want to give Liu Jin more power so that he can better implement the system?

    As for Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Zhang Mao, and Zhong Zhong, they all frowned.

    Of course they are aware of this matter, and many times they even come forward to explain for some officials.

    They know very well that the situation of many officials, and even themselves, is that they are still acting like old officials in many cases, not wanting to make progress and not doing anything. In many cases, it is the officials at the top who take the lead.

    ¡°My dear friends, let¡¯s live it up.¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi glanced around, looked at the ministers present, smiled and said.

    If it had been before, it wouldn't have mattered much.

    But there are many things and problems that have arisen during this annual holiday, such as a large number of migrant workers returning home, braving the severe cold and it is easy to get into trouble when returning home, plus road bandits, illegal shops, etc.

    These questions were first raised by Liu Jin. Didn¡¯t any other officials notice this issue?

    Someone must have noticed this problem, but no one stood up to take care of it, because for these high-ranking officials, they don't care about the lives and deaths of these ordinary people at all.

    Si minus 7 5z*w.&#99o m Si.  As long as there is no famine or civil unrest, they have nothing to do with the life and death of the people. For them, the life and death of the people may not be as important as walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms.

    ¡°In addition, the opening of trains and places like railway stations with a very large flow of people can easily cause problems with public order and sanitation, but for these officials, they don¡¯t care about this matter at all.

    This is obviously not possible.

    Times have changed.

    The scale of cities is getting larger and larger, and the population of cities is increasing. The concentration of population and the expansion of cities will bring about a large number of new problems, which place higher requirements on the timely response ability of officials.

    When problems arise, they should be solved in a timely manner, instead of waiting for the problem to become serious before trying to find a solution like before.

    For example, if a disease like smallpox spreads in the city, if it is not dealt with in timeIt still needs to be considered comprehensively.

    ãá reduce .com ãá.  "What Liu Gong and Li Gong said is true. Officials who are doing nothing and eating nothing are better than going home and planting sweet potatoes. When an official is responsible for the people, he or she must lead the people to make a fortune."

    Zhang Mao also spoke. Relatively speaking, he naturally supported Liu Jin more.

    Each minister followed suit and spoke one after another, but their meanings were almost the same.

    ??We are all smart people, and we all understand the meaning of Emperor Hongzhi from his words.

    For Emperor Hongzhi, he was a monarch who was determined to make a difference and achieve great things. Naturally, he would not tolerate those officials who were doing nothing and doing nothing. What's more, he said at the beginning that this was the beginning of a great era, and the Ming Empire was dealing with  In such a position, naturally it can no longer be the same as before.

    What¡¯s more, no one wants to live through the hard days of the past.

    In the past, the court was miserable, the emperor was miserable, and the life of officials was also difficult. Apart from anything else, the salary and benefits were pitifully low, and it was difficult not to become a corrupt official.

    Now that the court is rich, the salaries of officials have been increased many times, and everyone's life is much better.

    Mi He Mi.  "Since all my dear friends have the same opinion, it has been decided that those officials who have done nothing and are lying dead will be sent to Nanjing to retire!"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at everyone and said
