Chapter 66 The supreme cause.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, the little snot also took the paperwork from Zhu Di's hand again, and handed it to the kneeling ministers.

"Go down and do something."

After speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand and turned his back to everyone.

Hearing Zhu Di's final decision, everyone stopped talking, took their notes and left one after another, and retreated.

As the crowd left, Zhu Di, who had always turned his back to the crowd, had a scheming and smug look on his cheeks.

"Little bastard, play tricks with grandpa, what you play is leftover from grandpa's play!"

At the same time that Zhu Di finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji, who was heading towards Jinyiwei North Town Fusi after the lunch break, suddenly felt cold all over, and sneezed twice on this hot day.

Rubbing his nose, he murmured with some doubts: "Thinking twice, I have provoked some gods to worry about me again. Hey, it is really disturbing for a day."

Outside the Qianqing Palace.

Headed by the prince, the six ministers and the cabinet scholars followed closely, and they all breathed a sigh of relief the moment they walked out of the gate of Qianqing Palace.

It took only a moment to enter this palace, but it seemed like several days had passed, especially for Xia Yuanji, who felt that he had wandered around the gate of the underworld several times in such a short time.

It can be said to be a life-and-death.

If the prince hadn't pleaded for him several times, it would have been difficult to walk out fully under the emperor's wrath.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji hurriedly took two steps, came in front of the prince Zhu Gaochi, raised his hand and bowed to him in front of many ministers around him, and said: "I am in the palace today, thanks to the many times the prince begged for mercy." , Xia Yuanji saved his life, and I have nothing to repay, so I ask Your Highness to accept my obeisance."

After finishing speaking, he had to kneel in front of Prince Zhu Gaochi.

Although the crown prince Zhu Gaochi looked tall and fat, his movements were not slow at all, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he supported Xia Yuanji's kneeling movement.

"Master Xia is too serious."

"Lord Xia is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has been in charge of the household department for decades. It can be said that he did his best and did not dare to slack off. I have seen all this, and I believe my old man is also clear in his heart."

"There is a reason for this incident. It's not that Mr. Xia was slack. My old man did this as a last resort. After all, it concerns millions of people in the world."

"But as the crown prince, how can I sit idly by. As for Mr. Xia's thanks, there is no need."

Seeing that Xia Yuanji wanted to say something more, Zhu Gaochi patted his arm quickly and said: "Now is not the time to worry about these things, the emperor only gave us three days, once the three days are over, if we can't handle it Come up with a complete idea, I am afraid that the real catastrophe will come at that time."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi mention this matter, everyone around couldn't help but look solemn.

Then, under Zhu Gaochi's gesture of raising his hand, they all headed towards the Shang's study room, ready to discuss the matter carefully.

After everyone came to sit down in Shangshu's room, Zhu Gaochi, who was the leader, had the time to read the booklet that the old man had given him.

According to the problem just discussed in Qianqing Palace, Prince Zhu Gaochi really couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Not even a clue.

Directly order the gentry not to annex land?Or is it stipulated that the land cannot be sold?
But no matter which method is used, it seems that it cannot fundamentally solve the current problem.Even if it is stipulated that the land of Daming is not allowed to be bought and sold privately, the fact of mergers has now appeared. More than 30.00% of the arable land is in the hands of those gentry. question.

Could it be possible to just watch those people starve to death one by one?
After all, they have discovered this problem now, so they can't just sit idly by.

And since the old man asked them to read this brochure, and said that it played the role of attracting jade, then there must be some deep meaning.

When everyone in the Shang study room was quietly sitting on the chairs, waiting for the prince Zhu Gaochi to speak after reading it, the face of Zhu Gaochi who was sitting on the main seat changed several times.

Spread into acres
Incorporating the Ding tax, which is a drag on the poor people, into the land tax, while alleviating the tax pressure on the poor people, the court's finances will not be dragged down.

Really let the actual owners of those lands bear it.

Let the rich pay more taxes
As Zhu Gaochi continued to understand this book, Zhu Gaochi became more and more immersed in it.

In the past, the direction of taxation was for everyone to pay taxes, but this innovative method of taxation has changed from the previous one, and it can almost be said to have subverted the taxation system accumulated over thousands of years in China.

The benefits revealed behind this strategy are simply unimaginable.

As the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi, who has supervised the country for so many years and has rich experience in administration, understood the value behind this note at a glance.

For Daming, this is more than just a word of gold.

Countless poor people will have time to breathe and recover due to this policy, the death rate of Ming people will be reduced to an unimaginable level, and the birth population of the people will also experience explosive growth.

Since ancient times, people's uprisings have been common in all dynasties. Why?

Can't live anymore.

Under this tax policy, the death rate caused by hunger and poverty is reduced, which means that the people have an unprecedented living environment.

Can live, who is willing to hang their heads on their waists to rebel?

Besides, what will the population explosion bring to Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Gaochi couldn't be more clear.

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi, whose mood had been tempered in countless government affairs to be calm, could hardly restrain the excitement in his heart at this moment.

In the extremely excited mood, Zhu Gaochi unconsciously clenched the hand holding the memorial, as if he wanted to crush the memorial.

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi understood everything.I also have a personal experience of what the old man did today.

"No wonder. No wonder."

No wonder Zhu Gaochi repeated several sentences in succession.

No wonder the old man got so angry today.

In addition to the anger after the land annexation was discovered, there was no determination in this anger that the old man had after seeing the content of this memorial.

Let me ask, which emperor could endure this temptation after seeing the content of this memorial?
Beauty, wealth, power.
In the eyes of the emperor, the pursuit of these ordinary people is simply a hot chicken!
When they want it.

Only this is enough to overthrow thousands of years of history, establish a great cause, and leave a long history, which is absolutely irresistible to them.

Not to mention the old man, the emperor who valued merit very much, it was Zhu Gaochi, and his heart was full of passion at this time.
