The ninth year of Hongdeli, on the first day of March.

The morning is on the morning of the morning.

In the court, a memorial from the Minister of Revenue Wang Le caused a burst of trouble in the court.

There is no money in the treasury!

Even the military pay for the Nine Borders this year can’t be raised!

As soon as the words came to an uproar.

The civil and military officials were all whispering to each other, and there was a "buzzing" sound in the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It is a very dangerous signal for a country that can’t even pay military pay!

On the high platform, Qiu Shi'an shouted loudly: "Silent!"

After the Hall of Supreme Harmony was completely quiet, Emperor Hongde spoke and said, "The tax revenue has been low every year, and it has even become ineffective in the past two years. In addition, disasters in various places have occurred frequently, the national treasury has been completely empty, and this year, even the military pay from the nine sides cannot be collected. How can you teach me?"

There was silence in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The tax revenue has been low for many years. Everyone knows the reasons. Just look at the filial piety and assets that are extra out of thin air at home, but how can these be expressed in the court?

So they all started to bow their heads and pretend to be ostrich.

After all, it’s not annoying to be invisible!

On the dragon throne, Emperor Hongde looked at the civil and military officials below, his eyes full of disappointment.

It took a while.

Yang Xiuchen gritted his teeth and stepped forward, and replied: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the military pay of the nine borders must be guaranteed, otherwise there may be danger of national system wavering!

I would like to ask Your Majesty to put state affairs first, borrow some silver from the treasury, and after the autumn harvest, I will collect the tax and silver for this year and return it to Your Majesty’s inner treasury. I hope Your Majesty will be grateful!"

This is to directly hit Hongde Emperor’s private wallet!!

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing, who was standing in front of the military officers' ranks, couldn't help but give Yang Xiuchen a thumbs up in his heart.

To be honest, it is really hard, and it is really not afraid of death!

In the past, Emperor Hongde also lent silver money several times from the treasury, but in the end it is often time to repay the money, and there are various reasons for delaying it.

Even if he goes to the treasury, he will be snatched back by trying to defend himself. Emperor Hongde even needs to take more.

To sum up, as long as Emperor Hongde dares to lend out the money, it will definitely be a result of borrowing but not repaying it.

In this regard, Emperor Hongde’s confidant Wang Le is extremely experienced!

Emperor Hongde suffered several losses and had already learned the essence.

If you want to borrow money, I’m afraid you’re just trying to lose money!

Hearing that Yang Xiuchen has started to play the old tune again, Emperor Hongde's expression has long been so heavy that it is about to twist out the water!

When Yang Xiuchen finished speaking, Emperor Hongde above was immediately angry and laughed.

Then, Emperor Hongde cursed at Yang Xiuchen, "I asked you to give me some advice. That's how you gave me advice? Do you still have the face to borrow it?

You have already borrowed money from my treasury one after another. How can you borrow money from me again?!"

Seeing Yang Xiuchen being scolded, he was so bloody.

Next to him, Sheng Zong'an, the Minister of Personnel, also came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the energy of the Tatars in the north of the frontier is severely damaged and they are no longer able to move south. Besides, Zhaowu Hou is intimidating all directions, and I, the Great Zhou, sit safely.

I believe that the defenders stationed on the grassland border can appropriately lay off part of the troops, which will save a large amount of military pay..."

"All nonsense!"

Before Sheng Zong'an finished speaking, Jia Jing had already left the list and shouted: "The army on the Nine-Borders is the foundation of the Great Zhou, the barrier guardian of the Great Zhou. If you rashly lay off the ground, wouldn't it destroy the Great Wall?

If there is any mistake, can you afford this responsibility?"

This is what you suggest to Your Majesty, Sheng Zong'an, what are your intentions?"

"I..." Sheng Zongan was speechless.

As a result, civil officials and generals suddenly became quarrel, and there was another chaos in the palace...

On the dragon throne, Emperor Hongde rubbed his forehead and felt a mess in his mind.

"quiet!"

On the high platform, Qiu Shi'an shouted again.

After carefully sorting out the ideas in his mind, Emperor Hongde said again: "Given the annual low tax bank report, what good methods do you guys have to do with me?"

The civil servant in his grade below was about his early thirties and had a short beard under his ear.

He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

Looking at the memorials being held up, the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony were filled with shock.

This is prepared!

Emperor Hongde above coughed, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Come on!"

...

At the forefront of the military officer, Jia Jing watched Emperor Hongde direct and act.

Yes, whether it is the emptiness of the treasury mentioned by Wang Le, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, or the civil servants who just stood up to offer suggestions, they are all dramas directed and acted by Emperor Hongde.

Its purpose is of course not to be said.

All for money!

Then, the civil and military officials in the hall saw Emperor Hongde turn on the present memorial, nodded, and praised: "Your dear said so much. Nowadays, reforming the tax law is an imperative move!

First, clear the land, then pay land taxes, labor service, and other miscellaneous levies. In total, it is a one-piece, and the cash is collected and converted and paid according to the land acres. This simplified tax system and facilitated tax collection, which made it difficult for local officials to cheat, and it can indeed effectively increase fiscal tax revenue.

This method is great for good!!”

In an instant, the whole hall was shocked!

Before the officials in the hall could react, Emperor Hongde continued: "It happened that Hanzhong suffered a disaster last year and the people were all displaced. I exempted them from taxes for three years, so it is indeed feasible to take the opportunity to try the new tax law in Shanxi and Shaanxi!"

Finally, Emperor Hongde looked at the officials below with a bright look and asked, "What are your doubts?"

What I asked was doubtful, which means that Emperor Hongde had already made up his mind to implement this new tax law!

Everyone in the hall looked at them for a moment.

He thought to himself that even the place to try the new method has been chosen. If Emperor Hongde had not arranged it long ago, he would have gnawed the pillars in the Taihe Hall as sugarcane!

Seeing that all the officials in the hall were silent, a smile appeared on Emperor Hongde's face.

He asked Jia Jing again: "What do Jia Aiqing thinks about this new method?"

Jia Jing took the lead and said respectfully: "I think this method is very good. After the trial is correct, it can be implemented throughout the country!"

All officials, "..."

That’s right, today’s Jia Jing’s profession is a child care provider!

Because Emperor Hongde had already approved his own family first, and the reform of the new tax law was the main attack on the powerful families who were proficient in mergers and were hiding the fields and hidden families.

Jia Jing's power is a noble party, and his foundation is different from those powerful families. The implementation of the new tax law naturally has little to do with it.

At most, it is nothing more than the matter of clearing the land and raising servants at home.

These are not worth mentioning!

After all, the founding lineage has been basically transparent in front of the emperor because of what happened more than ten years ago, so I am naturally not afraid to investigate again now.

Therefore, when Emperor Hongde asked Jia Jing and the founding lineage to stand up for him, Jia Jing only thought for a while and immediately nodded in agreement.

After all, the founding lineage has been labeled as Emperor Hongde since the time of supporting Emperor Hongde before.

The tax law reform does not involve its own roots, so naturally it will not refute the face of Emperor Hongde.

The advantage of agreeing to stand on the platform is that the generals in power in the founding lineage have made some progress in their respective forces, and Jia Jing has even added two battalions of troops!

Since then, the entire founding power has taken another step forward.

Jia Jing alone accounts for more than a quarter of the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the entire capital.
Chapter completed!
