Chapter 14 Heavy resistance (plus 1)

“That’s right! The noble gentry is powerful. Nowadays, the world is full of smoke. If they are forced to rush, I might endanger my Daqin’s Jiangshan society!”

“Yes, the nobles and gentry all over the world are all loyal to Da Qin. They have money and some people. If you kill them, the consequences will be disastrous!”

“The minister suggested that the taxation of nobles and tyrants should be suspended, at least until the Xiongnu and Baiyue are put down, it is not appropriate to act rashly!”

“When the treasury is short of money and food, it is the nobles and gentry who send food and money to the border officers. They are loyal to the court. If you kill them, who will dare to be loyal to the court in the future?”

“That’s right! Mrs. Ba is also a rich businessman and tycoon. She donates food and money to the Meng Family Army every year!”

“And that Wu Shiluo, sold to the court horse at half price!”

“Such loyalty makes people move. If your majesty takes them with a knife, won’t the people of the world spurn it?”

“The minister seconded…!”

“The minister seconded…!”

“The minister seconded…!”

As soon as Chunyuyue’s voice fell, almost all the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty came forward, and they all persuaded Yin Yingzheng not to tax the nobles and gentry of the world.

He was hesitant to win the government by imposing heavy taxes on the nobles and gentry.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were right. In the past few years, the imperial court’s treasury has long been unable to make ends meet.

The reason why it has been able to persist until now is that some noble gentry proactively extended a helping hand.

Because of them, Daqin has been able to operate until now!

If you act on them, no matter how you look at it, it would be a bit ungrateful!

“This is the end of today’s palace trial, let’s retreat!”



“The Ninth Prince and Mrs. Ba stay!”

Has always been decisive to win politics, for the first time hesitated to make up his mind.

He sat down on the dragon chair and waved his hand towards the bottom of the hall.

“The ministers retire!”

Manchu civil and military, look at me, and I look at you. After a moment of daze, they left Xianyang Palace one by one.

However, when they left, they winked at Ba Qing.

It was intended to tell her that she would prevent the emperor from attacking the nobles and gentry!

Because the winning government left the two of them behind, the obvious intention was to discuss whether to tax the rich.

Jiu Gongzi insisted on taking a knife against the noble and tyrant!

And Ba Qing is a well-known wealthy businessman and gentry in China!

If they guessed correctly, the first emperor wanted to listen to the opinions of both parties before deciding whether to impose heavy taxes on the rich.

As long as Ba Qing strongly opposed it, her friendship with the emperor should be able to stop it.

“Ye’er, you have heard that, except for a few, the Manchu civil and martial arts are almost all opposed to it!”

“Although I think your suggestion is good, I also think they have some truth!”

“In addition, the Manchu dynasty civil and military are opposed to it. Even if I make up my mind to impose heavy taxes on the nobles and gentry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to implement with all the ministers’ opposition!”

After the Manchu civil and military retreat from Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng carried his hands on his back, and frowned, pacing back and forth.

He knew that taxing the rich was the only way out, but under all the resistance, even he was powerless!

You can’t kill all the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, right?

“Father, you know, who are the nobles and gentry in this world?”

To Ying Zheng and Ba Qing’s surprise, Ying Ziye did not try his best to promote her own ideas.

He didn’t accept his fate and compromise, but turned the subject off and asked a question.

“What are they?”

Ying Zheng blinked his eyes and asked.

He has never cared about this kind of things, so he really doesn’t know exactly what they are.

“As far as Erchen knows, these noble gentry are divided into four categories…!”

“One is the salt merchants. They monopolize the nation’s salt operations, and every one of them is rich in the enemy’s country!”

“The second is the nobles left over from the Six Nations!”

“After the unification of the six countries, the father, in order to stabilize the general trend of the world, once pardoned the nobles of various countries!”

“The land under their name is countless. Although they have not yet reached the level of a wealthy country, most of them are richer than the imperial court!”

“The third category is the wealthy, gentry, and gentry. They make money by operating a business, and then the rich side!”

“The fourth category is officials at all levels, and landlords and gentry!”

“Although they are not as good as the salt merchants and nobles, they have countless fields!”

“There are most of these people, and they are most afraid that the court will impose heavy taxes on them!”

Ying Ziye, who is familiar with history, gave a detailed account of the types of nobles and gentry in the world.

“Um!”

“No wonder all the civil and military forces opposed it just now!”

“It turns out that they are afraid that I will also act on them!”

Listening to what he said, Ying Zheng nodded as if suddenly realized.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, he shot the case, his eyes lit up and said: “If this is the case, then I will make a decree that officials can pay less taxes on the land. Wouldn’t they stop opposing it? ”

“Father, my son thinks that this plan has little effect!”

Ying Ziye was not polite, and poured cold water on him directly, “The relationship between the officials in the DPRK and the nobles and gentry is intricate, and they even have marriages with each other. Even if the father exempts them from taxes, they will not be able to support his father. The emperor levies taxes on the rich!”

“Uh this…”

Ying Zheng, who was frowning just now, frowned again after hearing what he said.

Yes, which officials of the DPRK and China have nothing to do with the aristocratic gentry?

Take Confucianism as an example, almost all the disciples under his clans are aristocrats and tycoons!

Many of the officials in North Korea and China are Confucian.

Ask them to get their relatives and friends to operate, how could they do it?

“Hey…, it seems that this road is not working!”

Finally, Ying Zheng sighed and paced back and forth again.

“Father, this tax system reform is imperative!”

“The current tax system is tantamount to robbing the poor and helping the rich. If this continues, the nobility, gentry, and wealthy will be drained of oil, and the people will have no livelihood!”

“The ministers of civil and military affairs made a mistake. The cornerstone of my Daqin is not the nobles and gentry, but the tens of thousands of ordinary people!”

“The people are water, and the court is a boat!”

“Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!”

“If the people are driven to a dead end, the world will be in chaos!”

Ying Ziye didn’t tell her father how to deal with courtiers, because it was useless.

Therefore, he can only try his best to persuade.

If Daqin made reforms in time, it would still be too late!

Otherwise, once this cheap old man dies, the world will fall into chaos!

“Mrs. Ba, what do you think?”

Ying Zheng didn’t make a statement, he paced back and forth for a while, and finally set his eyes on Ba Qing.

The monthly flower evaluation ticket doesn’t move again. I beg everyone for some motivation. *
