Comprehensive martial arts Ming Dynasty: Summon Li Hanyi at the beginning

Zhu Houzhao is not responsible for the specific price and quantity. Naturally, someone will negotiate with Cai Jing. If Zhu Houzhao is responsible for even this small matter, then there will be no one in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao just wanted to earn some military expenses. What bad intentions could he have?

A mere tens of millions of taels of silver is nothing at all!

As long as the privileged class also starts paying taxes, then Ming Dynasty will definitely have enough money!

Zhu Houzhao admitted that Zhu Yuanzhang could be regarded as the emperor of the ages. After all, what he did was indeed worthy of the name of the emperor of the ages.

Both Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang are among the top ten emperors in Chinese history.

It's just that there are no small problems with Zhu Yuanzhang's political wisdom, such as the preferential treatment of literati and the royal family's policies.

It is precisely because of the tax-free policy of the literati that Ming Dynasty later received less and less tax revenue. Perhaps at the beginning, he thought that as long as the people above him supervise it well, then these things would not be a problem.

But if you can't stand the emperor behind you, your family will be ruined!

The ambitions of literati are always difficult to understand, and even more so, unimaginable.

After all, many Ming emperors were directly killed by the literati. Even the better ones still needed to be wary of the literati, and even did not hesitate to go to court for this.

Zhu Houzhao is also currently investigating the information about the Tumu Fort incident. This guy Zhu Qizhen, the God of War, is indeed a scumbag.

However, Zhu Houzhao also felt that the original Tumubao incident was not that simple, and that there might have been internal fighting among civil servants.

After all, after the Tumubao Incident, a lot of civilian officials died, but similarly, the number of military attachés also decreased a lot.

Ming Dynasty's tax revenue slowly decreased from more than 60 million taels of silver to more than 300 taels of silver. What a shame!

Zhu Houzhao said that you can never overestimate the integrity of literati, but on Zhu Houzhao's side, he had a large number of his own people, and many of those wealthy families were killed by Zhu Houzhao. Now nearly one-third of the Ming Dynasty's land is In Zhu Houzhao's hands, this is enough for the time being.

What Zhu Houzhao has to do next is to slowly make trouble for these elders and slowly eliminate their influence.

Zhu Houzhao rented the fields in his imperial village to the common people at a low price. Given the choice, the people were naturally willing to cultivate Zhu Houzhao's fields. However, those gentlemen wanted to cultivate their own fields, unless they chose to rebel. , otherwise, the rent can only be reduced.

And Zhu Houzhao slowly made trouble for them. For example, they mistreated farmers and failed to pay taxes.

Zhu Houzhao even plans to slowly eliminate all tax exemption policies for these literati.

They are all used to it!

If anyone dared to raise a problem, Zhu Houzhao said that he would give it all to them.

Taizu had preferential treatment policies for these literati, but those businessmen were still well clothed and well fed!

Don't forget that there are strict restrictions on the food, clothing, housing and transportation of merchants. These guys have strict regulations. If you really count, these guys will all be dead.

In fact, the key depends on the emperor's control over the court. If the emperor can control the court and the army, these literati want to cause trouble, but there is nothing they can do.

Most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty are Zhu Houzhao's absolute confidants. If anyone dares to cause trouble, they can just send troops to quell it.

Even if all the emperors of the entire Shenwu Continent were added up, none of them could do what Zhu Houzhao did!

The negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were successful. In the end, Cai Jing purchased 80,000 war horses at a price of 500 taels per horse.

As for why there were 80,000 war horses instead of 100,000, it was mainly because the Northern Song Dynasty was temporarily out of money!

Yes, there is nothing wrong with the Northern Song Dynasty being very rich. After hundreds of years of accumulation, they have become the richest dynasty in the entire Shenwu Continent.

At least the government's tax revenue and per capita GDP are the highest. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At the same time, the Northern Song Dynasty became a favorite in the eyes of Meng Yuan. However, after a year of war, the Northern Song Dynasty also had financial problems.

Ten million taels is not a small number anymore!

In fact, in history, the Song Dynasty was indeed the richest dynasty in history, but the people had money and fewer people were willing to serve as soldiers. In order to get the people to serve as soldiers, the only option was to use high salaries.

When the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty went to war, the military expenditures on the western front alone were tens of millions of taels per year. Together with other defense lines, you can imagine how huge the Southern Song Dynasty's annual military expenditures were.

Who would have thought that the real reason for the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was inflation?

The situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was actually similar. Even this time, they solved the Murong family, Fang La, Liao and Jin.

But after that, they will be in trouble for a long time.

After solving Cai Jing's problem, Zhu Houzhao returned to the Summer Palace, but when he returned here, A Qing, Yan Lingji and Ji Yanran were already waiting here.

".That breath from before'.？"Ah Qing looked at Zhu Houzhao with a slightly worried look and asked.

Obviously, she was also attracted by the aura of Zhu Houzhao and the Fire Lin Sword.

She would not take the initiative to go to the court. Even though as a land god, she would go to the Ming Dynasty meeting without any problem, and no one would say anything.

But Ah Qing is not a public person. He is usually very secretive and unwilling to participate in those things. (Qian Nuo's)"It's this sword. Someone gave it to me." Zhu Houzhao took out the Fire Lin Sword and said with a smile.

"It's this sword. Ah Qing stared at the Fire Lin Sword and exclaimed:"I saw this sword when I went to Dahan before. At that time, I felt that there was a big problem with this sword. I also reminded the owner of this sword, but he didn't seem to care. , instead they thought I was trying to get rid of the Fire Linjian."

"Is that so? Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:"The vast majority of swordsmen cannot refuse this Fire Lin Sword. Putting aside this sword will cause people to go crazy. This is indeed a good sword. Just not for me"

"So you know!"Aqing also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She was worried that Zhu Houzhao would be demonized by the Fire Lin Sword. Wouldn't the entire Ming Dynasty be doomed by then? Xian d (Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and automatic subscription, okay?) Love you!).
