Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 311 What Emperor Zhu Wants To Do Is Zhou Tianzi
"In terms of the appointment of local officials, in principle, the localities below the prefecture implement the policy of local officials, and the appointment of officials above the prefecture is not restricted by their place of origin. Moreover, the number and treatment of local officials should be linked to the amount of tax revenue. Places with high tax revenue can More officials will be arranged, and officials will be paid more. Those who have less tax will have fewer officials. The amount of tax should be linked to the interests of the officials themselves, and the interests of the local gentry. Then even though we can collude to resist paying taxes!"

Emperor Zhu's voice fell.

The officials present opened their mouths wide open.

This.
This is too insidious!

Where did the emperor come up with this idea?
What do scholar-bureaucrats study for?
To be an official!
Now it is actually binding the qualifications of a scholar-bureaucrat to be an official with the local tax payment situation.

fail to meet the target.

It is also necessary to let outsiders become officials, and the locals have no officials to do it!
The fact that outsiders come to rule does not mean that there is no need to pay taxes.

At that time, taxes will have to be paid, and officials will not have to be an official, and outsiders must come to become officials to make money. By then, outsiders will make more money and have no scruples.

At this moment, Peng Jun, Minister of Education, raised a question: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, won't the court officials be dominated by people from wealthy areas in the future?"

Yes.

If they are all from the south, they are all from Jiangnan and Guangdong as officials.

Sooner or later, the world will be separated from virtue.

Emperor Zhu smiled slightly.

He naturally thought about this problem, and he still patched it.

"The tax assessment is not based on the amount, but on whether it can fulfill the targets given by the imperial court. For example, if Guangdong pays 1000 million yuan in taxes, it is unqualified! But if Henan has 500 million yuan in taxes, it is excellent! The assessment standard is based on the local It is judged whether it is rich or not in the world, as long as it can complete the indicators, it is excellent!"

Emperor Zhu said.

"In addition, the provinces have basic quotas for political discussions. Therefore, I don't have a one-size-fits-all policy. If this condition cannot be fulfilled honestly, then I'm sorry! If you dare to instigate tax resistance! Let's see if they are hard-headed Still the bullet is hard!"

Emperor Zhu's words were murderous.

Let the officials below dare not speak.

Emperor Zhu, the founding emperor, seldom shouted and killed, but the people below were not so stubborn that they had to test whether Emperor Zhu's bullets were accurate enough.

Peng Jun took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that they will dare to pass on taxes to the tenant farmers. The tenant farmers are already suffering. If they pay more rent, they may really be unable to survive. Please think again, Your Majesty!"

"Can't survive? Why can't I survive! I have Northeast China, Southeast Asia, and North America in the future! There are places where they can survive!! With so many ways out, I have to live in the countryside as a tenant farmer. Can you blame me? And They are renting other people’s land. What can I do if they want to raise the rent? It’s a fair deal. If you think the rent is too high, you can leave! You can go to Nanyang, Guandong! If you don’t want to go to Nanyang to go to Guandong, you can even go to Guangdong to work Can you survive? There are so many ways out here. If you don’t go by yourself, no wonder the court. If you dare to make trouble, my army is not the bean curd and green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty! Just a few rioters, they will suppress it with their backhands !"

Of course, Emperor Zhu was not afraid of the tenant farmers making trouble.

In fact, in history, as long as the officers and soldiers can be guaranteed sufficient food and salaries, they will not be afraid of any rebellion by the people.

Now Emperor Zhu's money does not depend on land taxes, and his soldiers are the elite of all battles.

The tenant farmers are in chaos, and there is no big wave at all.

The few ministers present were shocked when they heard this.

What kind of emperor is this?

This Emperor Lao Tzu didn't care at all whether the tenant farmers could survive or not.

What do you mean there is a way out
Uh, so to speak.

But the emperor Laozi must at least speak softly.

You should understand the truth that water can carry a boat and capsize it, right?
However, Emperor Zhu has made up his mind.

If the tenant farmers feel that it is not worthwhile to lease the land for farming, they can leave the land and leave the land.

Emperor Zhu has plenty of ways out for them.

If you don't want to leave your hometown, and you don't want to be exploited by old rich landlords in the countryside.

Where in this world is there such a good thing.

"What the hell is the emperor going to do? I don't understand, I don't understand."

Shandong Tai'an.

Liu Yong, a Han minister in the former Qing Dynasty, now lives in seclusion here.

Opposite him, Ji Xiaolan, who was smoking a pipe, frowned tightly, looking puzzled.

"Yeah, it's really confusing. What do you think Emperor Zhu is going to do? To rectify the bureaucracy? He didn't catch a few corrupt officials and cut him down. The average tax burden reduces the burden on the common people, and he doesn't seem to do much about it. Keep things in mind, what kind of tax-sharing system is this? Didn’t you make it clear that you encouraged the officials below to collect more taxes! In the end, most of the burden fell on Xiaomin’s head!”

Ji Xiaolan knocked on the pipe, looked up at Liu Yong and said, "Brother, what do you think this Emperor Zhu is thinking?"

"How can I know this? This hero who broke through a world in a peaceful and prosperous age, his thoughts are really elusive."

"It has been difficult to collect taxes from scholar-bureaucrats since ancient times. It is not impossible for the people below to be fooled by Emperor Zhu's doing this." Ji Xiaolan shook her head and said.

"If you're fooling around, just fool around. It's too easy in this world. If you don't experience a little twists and turns, you may not be able to sit still." Liu Yong held a white piece and landed it on the chessboard.

"The world will be chaotic?" Ji Yun lowered his voice.

"It can't be messed up. This Emperor Zhu knows too well what he wants to catch when he is an emperor. With military power in his hands, the wealth of the Ming court is probably the richest court in history. He is afraid of some small people making trouble. Moreover, Emperor Zhu There are Nanyang and Northeast, and these are two pressure relief valves that can send people to these two places. There are fewer people in the Central Plains and Han, and life will naturally not be difficult." Liu Yong said.

Ji Xiaolan couldn't help but nodded when she heard the words.

"Yeah, as long as there is a way out, who would be willing to go all out to rebel? I heard that Emperor Zhu wants to open up North America. This is really true. To open up territories thousands of miles away, I think this North America, even if it is ruled by Ming Dynasty. Once it is taken down by the court, it will not be able to hold it in the future.”

"Defend? I don't think Emperor Zhu intends to guard at all."

"how do I say this?"

"Emperor Zhu has already made the ceremony, will the enfeoffment be far behind?"

"You mean that Emperor Zhu doesn't want to be Qin Shihuang, he wants to be Emperor Zhou?"

"The Son of Heaven of the whole world," Liu Yong said.

Ji Xiaolan was silent for a moment, and said, "Can it be done?"

"The whole world is difficult, but half the world. He is now." Liu Yong said with his fingers: "With Japan, the entire eastern world respects Emperor Zhu, and those countries that signed the suzerain-vassal treaty can be reconciled." It is different to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. They are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty and have the obligation to send troops to fight. '
