Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Chongzhen, who was greatly disappointed, asked unwillingly: "If the tax system is clarified, Jinyiwei cooperates with the local government to collect it as a whole, how about it?"

Shi Fenglai said: "Even so, it still can't stop the local officials from playing tricks on it.

If the local government and Jin Yiwei are linked together, I'm afraid His Majesty's benevolent government will become a government that harms the people.

If another supervisor is set up, how can it be prevented that the supervisors will not cover each other?

In addition, compared with the old Song Dynasty's salary, our dynasty's salary is extremely low, so officials at all levels will inevitably stretch their hands. "

After hearing this, Chongzhen also felt a big headache.Let yourself be a programmer to solve the corruption that cannot be suppressed for 5000 years?This is not a matter of writing a program and adding a monitoring process.

The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, the Chongzhen Emperor was very helpless.Even though I have just been conscripted by the imperial driver, and my military and civilian prestige is second to none, I still feel that there is no way to start with this tax business.

Even if he killed all the civil servants, what's the use?Will factory guards who lack civilian checks and balances let themselves go?In the end, I still have to hang on the old crooked neck tree.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Chongzhen said to the ministers: "Then, what good way can all the lovers do?

Collect business tax, corruption is rife.If you don't charge them, how much can you get out of the common people?The taxation of the state is getting worse and worse.The common people who are really forced to die, can you still stand on the court? "

Chapter 40 Bringing out the big killer

Looking at the puppets in the court hall, Chongzhen inexplicably remembered the ghost and animal videos he had seen in later generations, and various spoof dubbed versions of "The Wrath of the Head of State".

Chongzhen felt like the head of state in the underground, a group of scumbags were about to kill him, and Jiannu rushed in like a polar bear to kill him at any time.

Just when Chongzhen was thinking about arresting and killing a few more people, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jin Yiwei, suddenly came out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, this commercial tax is not collected. Where did the country get the money to train soldiers? Where did the money come from?" civil?

As for the issue of corruption that Mr. Shi just mentioned, I am ignorant, but I have a little opinion. "

Chongzhen was interested in Xu Xianchun's words.You must know that Xu Xian, one of the "Five Biao", is purely a military officer, so it is definitely no problem to let him fight and kill, but it is really embarrassing for him to make suggestions.

No matter what, it's a good sign that some of the people below are active, so we should encourage them.Chongzhen immediately asked: "What is Xu Aiqing's opinion?"

Xu Xianchun said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Master Shi's worries are nothing more than the corruption of the officials and small officials below, and he is worried that the supervisors will collude with him.

However, what if the imperial edict made by Emperor Taizu Hongwu is used to let the common people supervise the officials?

Taking a county as an example, the county magistrate is corrupt. If he can bribe one person, he can also bribe the entire county?Coupled with the secret supervision of factory guards, corruption can be stopped. "

When the officials in the court heard it, they cursed in their hearts.

Xu Xianchun is worthy of being the fifth member of the eunuchs, and his actions are really vicious.This move is tantamount to a direct drudgery from the bottom of the pot - the common people are definitely not willing to let officials be corrupt, but since Emperor Chengzu, this great edict has gradually become a display in name only, so who in the world dares to To take care of the affairs of the officials?

Now that Xu Xianchun has brought out such a big killer as Dagao again, and with Jin Yiwei supporting the mud-legged people, everyone in the court will know even if they think about it, and the people below will not dare to be corrupt.

So here comes the question, the people below dare not be corrupt, where do the bigwigs in the court receive "filial piety"?If there is no "filial piety" from the people below, do we want us cabinet ministers and ministers to go to the end to make money in person? Do you want to lose the face of the court?!

Chongzhen didn't care what the officials in the court thought.In his opinion, as long as the unhealthy tendencies of corruption can be curbed and supplemented by commercial taxation, Ming Dynasty will not perish!I don't have to always worry that one day the courier brother will force me to hang up the southeast branch.

Emperor Chongzhen of Longyan Dayue decided to do this, and he even wanted to learn from a certain boss: "Who is in favor? Who is against?!"

Chongzhen immediately ignored the ugly faces of the officials below who looked like dead parents, and said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, draw up an order."

"Everyone in the Ming Dynasty must prepare a copy of the edict at home. I will send the local government to send it to each of your first households. If anyone dares not to send it, I will send Jin Yiwei to deal with it.

If you have a big patent at home, you can take the big patent to the county government office to see if your county magistrate is greedy for money.If there is, escort him to the capital, and I will reward you heavily.

Those who have children in the family who are going to school must also study the Dagao carefully. The content of Dagao will be added to the exam in the future, and those who are not familiar with it will not be able to become an official. "

After finishing speaking, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen again: "Just draft the edict according to what I just said, neither too many words nor too few words. It must be understood by the people. This edict is like never adding an edict, and it is widely publicized. Let the people know about it."

Chongzhen thought for a while, and then said to the ministers: "Now that the problem of supervision has been solved, let me tell you, how should the commercial tax be collected? I will set the tone first, and farmers will not collect it for their own production and use. Those who benefit less will receive less, and those who benefit more will receive more. Other ministers will add it."

Now that the matter of commercial taxation is a foregone conclusion, Chongzhen, holding a butcher's knife, has set the tone again, and the officials have no choice but to fight for it, hoping to get some benefits for themselves.Chongzhen saw that the discussion could not come to a conclusion for a while, so he simply talked about another matter.

"This time when I went to the Xuanfu, I ordered people to search the eight traitors who had colluded with Jiannu, and got a lot of money.

Now that I have money, I also think about raising the salaries of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.All the lovers thought carefully after going back, and handed over the papers later. "

"In addition, before I left Beijing to pursue Jiannu, I ordered the Ministry of Industry to supervise the construction of the Martyr's Shrine. How is it now?"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it is already October, no matter how fast we rush to work, we can't finish it before the snow falls. When the snow blows and the wind blows, the quality will not be guaranteed. Please make decisions without authorization. The craftsmen have been ordered to suspend the construction until the spring of the next year. The minister is guilty."

Chongzhen let out a "huh" and said: "I don't blame Aiqing for this matter. The timing of this slave knocking at the customs is too coincidental, and it is not Qing's fault. Since it is suspended, let's suspend it first. It's just that the craftsmen should not disperse, and Wait for my will.

Chongzhen felt awkward thinking about it.Glass, cement, gunpowder, this is time travel.It is a necessary law for the reader.

Gunpowder is already available, and I don't understand this stuff.The glass itself only knows that it is fired with sand, but how?Damn it, I was just a programmer before time travel, not an engineering dog!

cement?I don't know what's going on.The big deal is to get a pile of stones, of all kinds.Take some of them, burn them separately, and burn them to ashes, right?Then add a little water, whichever solidifies and is particularly strong, that is.Is it cement?

The more he thought about the cement, the more itchy Chongzhen said simply: "Forget it, that's all for today.

After the ministers went back, they thought about these two things carefully.One is commercial tax, and the other is salary increase.

It is better to use the vernacular for the excerpt, the simpler and clearer it is to explain the thoughts in Aiqing's heart, the better.It's all gone. "

After retiring from the court, Chongzhen, who returned to the harem, thought more and more that his ideas were reliable.When he arrived at the place where Emperor Tianqi worked as a carpenter, Chongzhen suddenly remembered that Tianqi was a carpenter, and this land was only suitable for carpentry. If he wanted to study how to burn cement, he had to clean it up.

Fortunately, Chongzhen is the emperor, and with an order, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace are busy.Those who moved things moved things, those who swept the ground swept the ground, and it was cleaned up in a short time.

Wei Zhongxian, who got up to serve after hearing the news, saw everything in front of him being cleaned up slowly, and then thought of the Daxing Emperor Tianqi, his nose was sore, and his eyes turned red.

Seeing Chongzhen, the memory of the authentic Chongzhen hidden in the depths of his mind was also evoked, but he forced himself to shout: "Why are you crying! The emperor's brother is doing well, and I am also sad. But I also have to deal with the mess that the emperor left me. tidy.

Brave yourself up and send people to the Ministry of Works to recruit some craftsmen who burn lime and bricks and tiles to come here.I have some things to order! "

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Order people to change the name of this place to Luban Palace, to comfort the emperor."

Chapter 41 Chongzhen playing with mud

When many craftsmen entered the palace, Chongzhen was still considering the relationship between cement and lime.

After all, as a programmer who often reads novels on the Internet, I am very curious to see someone go back to ancient times and make cement to make a fortune.Although I searched the method of making cement on the Internet, I just remembered that lime, clay, and gypsum powder should be burned together.As for steps?Precautions?The programmer said that's what engineering dogs should know, it's none of my business?If you can get me a Baidu, I dare to study mushroom bombs for you.

As for what to do now if you want to burn cement?In Chongzhen's view, since these three main materials are memorized and they are to be forged, the rest should be handed over to the craftsmen and supervisors.Keep trying, there will always be a day when you try it out, and then slowly improve it?

Wei Zhongxian saw that Chongzhen had been in a daze, turning a blind eye to the craftsmen who came in, so he boldly stepped forward and said: "My lord, the craftsmen have already arrived."

Chongzhen, who came back to his senses, looked at the craftsmen.When the craftsman saw the emperor looking over, he knelt down and shouted long live: "Cao Min waited to see His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Chongzhen didn't say that he was exempt from courtesy, so all the craftsmen could only continue to kneel on the ground.After a while, I heard Chongzhen say: "I have summoned you to enter the palace. It is a confidential matter. No matter what happens here, it is not allowed to spread. No matter who you are, including your Shangguan and even the chief assistant of the court, even your family members are not allowed to say it." Otherwise, one person knows to kill one person, and ten people knows to kill ten people. Those who leak the secret will be punished. Do you understand?"

All the craftsmen trembled when they heard the words.Originally, he thought that entering the palace was just an order from the emperor, but he never thought that such a terrible thing would happen.But all the craftsmen still said in unison: "I will obey the order."

Then Chongzhen said: "Get up. This matter is done well, and I will not hesitate to confer titles. In addition, I have decreed that the distinction between farmers and craftsmen will be abolished. In the future, your children can also study. To be an official, you don’t need to be a craftsman anymore. It’s just to try it out in Tianjin Wei first, to see the effect later.”

All the craftsmen immediately fell to their knees and said, "Your Majesty is merciful!"
