Facts have proved that the integrity of Ming officials should never be underestimated. Soon, officials and local wealthy families joined forces to contract these lands at normal prices, and then rent them out at"normal" prices.
If you can’t fight, then join! It just so happens that they can also make some money through this.
The 30% tax at Huangzhuang is really too little. A guy like this would have to charge them at least 70% tax.
At first, these officials just tried it, but they didn't expect that they actually succeeded!
Sure enough, His Majesty will not give up on scholars like them. He still cannot do without them, so in the next two months, people will continue to follow their example.
Until one day, Zhu Houzhao heard a report from Wei Zhongxian that someone had contracted a large amount of land and then subleased it to ordinary farmers at extremely high prices.
Zhu Houzhao was furious in an instant, and then asked Zhang Juzheng and others to join forces with Zhu Hu to investigate the matter.
In order to allow the common people to have fields for farming, I rent them to the common people at low rents. But what are you doing?
Actually renting these fields to local officials and gentry? Then these officials and gentry rent it to the people with high taxes?
Damn it, has the wool been harvested all over my body? It’s his mother’s fault!
I didn’t even earn this money!
So, a big case arose! Almost every day, officials and squires were arrested and brought to Beijing, and then they were executed by three tribes in Caishikou...
Suddenly, the entire Ming Dynasty was bleeding like a river!
There were even some officials and squires who joined forces to rebel. Damn it, it was impossible to survive under this dog emperor.
It’s not like everyone is completely brainless. Why did Wei Zhongxian find out and report Zhu Houzhao to deceive a three-year-old child?
If you wanted to know about this dog emperor, you would have known about it a long time ago. Look at the entire history of the Ming Dynasty. Is there any such emperor who appointed factory guards like this?!
Since the king does not love the people, why should the people be loyal to the king? It's better to start a rebellion!
If it's just a nerd rebellion, how many of them can be successful?
As soon as they gain momentum, they will be violently suppressed by the Ming Dynasty's army, and then their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated.
Moreover, as the Ming Dynasty officials exposed the reason why Zhu Houzhao wanted such a bloodbath this time, the people below were also filled with indignation. These damn dog officials and squires deserved to die!
His Majesty the Emperor only collected 30% of their taxes, but these guys actually levied so much more. No wonder their lives were so bad before. It turned out that they all worked for these guys in vain.
It is impossible to encourage these mud-legged people to rebel, and the squires are half useless!
But it doesn’t matter, they have other ways!
Resign!
The Ming Dynasty cannot do without these gentlemen. Without civil servants and gentlemen like them to govern the country for the Dog Emperor, how can the Ming Dynasty survive?
I just disappointed a lot of people. After facing their threats to resign, Zhu Houzhao let out the news that he could resign and would be investigated first. Anyone who did something stupid while serving as an official, haha, sorry. …
Then these civil servants instantly withered and even tore up the"resignation letters" they had written before.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao is not just an emperor who only knows how to wield a broadsword. He is also a civil servant. If he treats them too badly, who knows what these bastards will do, but if he treats them too well, they will still do a lot of fucking things. Giving both grace and power is the way to go.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Juzheng to start studying the matter of increasing the salaries of officials.
The usual salary must be increased by at least half, and a system for maintaining integrity must be established. If an official does not have any problems during his tenure, he will receive an incorruption bonus equal to ten times his annual salary in the last year before leaving office.
This is also a considerable asset. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
After learning about these policies, most civil servants in the Ming Dynasty fell silent and then returned to their work. Zhu Houzhao used this stick and a mouthful of sweet dates. He's really good at playing, they can't beat him!
Otherwise, he would not have been so well-behaved under Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
Unless someone can kill Zhu Houzhao, they don't want to make any more trouble.
And those scholars and students were promoted one by one to enter the officialdom. Zhu Houzhao even gave an imperial examination twice a year. This was the first time such a thing happened in the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao's Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty has not been completely established yet and is now in the preliminary stage. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to use the officials he likes.
What a pity!

"Reform? Li Si, what do you think about our Daqin also introducing a household responsibility system?"Ying Zheng said to Li Si with twinkling eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work!"Li Si also showed a wry smile when he heard this:"After all, our Daqin implements the policy of farming and war. If we carry out this kind of policy, then the soldiers may not be as enthusiastic as before.
Moreover, Emperor Ming's attack was based on the uncultivated land in Huangzhuang. His Majesty did not have so much private land on hand."
Ying Zheng was silent when he heard this. At this time, he envied Zhu Houzhao very much. The princes of the old Zhu family had already fattened up, and Zhu Houzhao could sharpen his knife and kill the pigs.
But Ying Zheng couldn't do these things. Come on!
As long as he is alive, assassinations will probably be inevitable, but openly rebelling, haha, who dares? Ying
Zheng also thinks that there are people in his own country who can't think of it, and then raises troops to rebel and let himself harvest the land!!
"What if we attack the former nobles of the Six Nations? Ying Zheng then asked in a cold voice:"Don't you think the lives of those who were defeated were a little too easy?""
Ying Zheng's words silenced Li Si and others. There were some words (Wang Zhao's) that Shang Yang could do, but they couldn't do it!
Not everyone can do things that arouse hatred.
"Your Majesty, why not wait until we conquer the Huns and contract out these grasslands in this way as a trial?"After pondering for a moment, Li Si asked cautiously.
Ying Zheng took a deep look at Li Si. This guy's ability is beyond doubt, but he is too selfish.
What a pity!
"As for the grassland, we can’t collect so much tax, so how about just 20%? After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng said
"Your Majesty is wise!"Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the civil and military officials below also breathed a sigh of relief. They all have a lot of land on hand, and they are really worried that Ying Zheng will attack them, even though Ying Zheng said he would attack the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. , but no one can guarantee that they will not be targeted in the future. d
