Chapter 755 Zhu Yuanzhang also did it, and it went even further
The formation of social consensus is formed in games, and the government's decrees are only motivating, not decisive. It is society that ultimately determines what society is like. The entire group, every action of each person, ultimately forms a general consensus.
The wind and public opinion also play a similar role in promoting, so it is called the fourth power.
The emperor's logic of taxation based on violence, in addition to imperial decrees, also used wind and public opinion to shape a general consensus. These windy public opinions repeatedly exaggerated the tragedy caused by tax arrears, and the authority of the Taxation Yuan will continue to increase. , allowing more people to take the initiative to pay taxes out of fear.
For people of all walks of life throughout the Ming Dynasty, local yamen generally have weak case-handling capabilities. However, the Taxation Yuan, a yamen with a transcendent status, has extremely strong case-handling capabilities. If you don’t buy tax stamps, then you are in By provoking the Tax Inspection Bureau, you are asking for trouble.
Wan Shihe looked around, took out a square box from his sleeve, and whispered: "This is the twelve zodiac tax stamps issued by your majesty."
The tax stamps of the Ming Emperor, But the theme is based on the twelve zodiac signs, which will be changed every year to facilitate accounting audits.
The Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty opened the box and slowly opened the rolled tax stamp. The abaca tissue paper from Luzon is naturally strong, flexible and corrosion-resistant. Needless to say, it is printed with full ink. The lines are sparse and look very exquisite.
(Internet picture, deleted)
"How much does this set of tax stamps cost?" Wang Chonggu looked at the set of things in front of him, and there was only one word in his mind, official kiln !
Wan Shihe said with certainty: "It is the face value. When you pay the tax, you will get a tax stamp, which can be used as proof that the tax has been paid. If the tax inspection institute audits the tax, it can be used as evidence of the amount of tax paid in a certain year."
Wang Chonggu took it Holding the tax stamp, he looked at it for a long time and said, "I have to buy a few sets."
View There are fifty-four official kilns in the Dezhen Imperial Kiln Factory. Since its establishment in the Yongle period, it has been the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty. The fifty-four official kilns in Jingdezhen support 1,200 kiln workers of the era, and can bake Yongle sweets. White, Yongxuan blue and white, Chenghua doucai, Wanli five-color porcelain, etc. These porcelains are called tribute ware.
In addition to the imperial kiln factory, Jingdezhen also has 24 official factories and hundreds of private kilns. However, the price of tribute wares has always remained high.
The set of tickets for the twelve zodiac signs in front of him is a unique and exquisite set, and it is the first set. Wang Chonggu feels that buying some for future generations is also a good choice. This thing will be used in the future The value must be much higher than the face value. It can be passed down as a family heirloom to future generations. Even if the future generations fail to live up to expectations and lose all the family property, they can also sell it.
"Um...I'm afraid this thing will become a treasure." Zhang Juzheng raised his concerns. He looked at Wan Shihe and said: "This thing has an anchor. The court cannot issue more money for no reason."
The Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions. Although the general money shortage has been alleviated with the inflow of large amounts of precious metals, it is still in a state of money shortage. The only way to solve the money shortage is the banknote method.
But there are two problems with the banknote law: the imperial court is over-issuing (it is inevitable that powerful people will steal the printing) and anti-counterfeiting.
"Uh..." Wan Shihe said in a daze: "No, can this thing be used as currency?"
Wang Chonggu held the tax stamp in front of him and said with great certainty: "Nanyang Tobacco, shells, and stones were also used as goods This thing has exchange value. It represents the payment of taxes, and it represents the tax itself. Someone must do this business. As long as this thing can be exchanged for silver, it will be used as currency, just like the original salt."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has the "Cao Fa Anchor Shu". This thing is the anchor of the Ming Dynasty's taxes. Even if it is only valid for that year, it has great value."
"This thing is better than the Ming Dynasty overseas. Tongxingbao banknotes are also exquisite. In the past, when bribes were given, salt coins were given. Doesn’t the salt coins also contain salt? Can it be used as money as an anchor? And the worsted woolen silk coins in the early years of Wanli are all the same."
"No, your Majesty means that these tax stamps are for those who are inconvenient. "People use it." Wan Shihe said after communicating with Wang Chonggu for a moment.
"Is it the turn of those inconvenienced people? They are just a group of rats in the gutter." Wang Chonggu said with great conviction: "As soon as this thing starts to be sold, there will be many people buying it, and those inconvenienced people will not be affected. people, they want Buy it, use the connections to find a way!”
The eunuchs in the imperial village sell various rare items in limited quantities, and then they become second-rate dealers and sell them at high prices. This tax stamp is not unlimited. printing, it’s not the mouse’s turn to buy it.
"It's rare to be confused." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and did not discuss this issue in depth.
The imperial court needs tax revenue to maintain its transcendent status and operation, and it also needs to prevent the Taxation Yuan from becoming the source of all evil and not allowing them to do evil and endanger the common people. However, violent yamen like the Taxation Yuan also need to survive. The basic principle of system design is that you cannot have both and want something, and you cannot take advantage of everything.
Turning a blind eye and profiting from selling tax stamps at a premium is the illegal but reasonable hidden income of the Taxation Office in order to maintain its own existence, and this part is controllable by the court, as long as Controlling the number of tax stamps can control the scale.
The Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty gathered together to discuss the Taxation Yuan. Although the emperor did not arrive, the emperor's plan arrived.
After a detailed discussion, headed by Zhang Juzheng, they jointly wrote a memorial and sent it to the Imperial Study Room of Tonghe Palace.
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty put down the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, which was a copy of "The Collection of Laughing Forest". This time, this collection of "Laughing Forest" was not about the jokes of the Western Jin Dynasty, but the jokes of the Ming Dynasty.
It can only be said that Lin Ji's pen is very brave, but Zhu Yijun did not let Tiqi arrest people.
The scope of satirical jokes is very wide. It is the ridicule of the constitution of the Ming Dynasty by the common people, including the Ming Dynasty, specific yamen, specific events, etc. The court usually calls it a rumor [chèn] .
For example, during the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong had trouble speaking. When meeting ministers on weekdays, he would only say yes or no. One year, Emperor Xianzong suffered from aphtha and could not speak. Shi Chunyan, the minister of Honglu Temple Out of desperation, he asked Emperor Xianzong to answer "as usual". Emperor Xianzong turned out to be catchy and overjoyed, and promoted Shi Chunyan to the position of minister.
People at that time were shocked and said: "Two words Shangshu."
Of course, there are also jokes about the Wanli period.
For example: King Li Wan of Joseon fled to Seoul first, to Kaesong the second time, and to Pyongyang the third time. What was the point of the Joseon royal court resisting the Japanese? Answer: The military is very happy.
This means that the only role of the King of Korea in the Korean battlefield was to contribute countless jokes to the Ming army after the battle.
For example: One day, Fu Si of Beizhen arrested three people and sent them to prison. They asked: Why are you imprisoned? One person replied: I hate Zhang Taiyue; another person answered: I am Zhang Taiyue's friend; another person answered He said: I am Zhang Taiyue.
Taiyue is Zhang Juzheng's nickname. This joke was actually made by people who generally felt that Zhang Juzheng's new law made the court panic. Whether he supported it or not, he himself might end up. It won't be too good.
For example: One day during the court meeting, Zhang Taiyue asked Wang Cifu about state affairs: Do you have any objections? Wang Cifu replied: I have objections, but I do not agree with my objections.
For example: One day there was a grand military parade, and all the battalions passed through the Desheng Gate. There were five thousand Liao cavalry formations, three thousand sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp, one thousand gunmen from the Shenji camp, and five cavalry camps. Hundreds, three hundred cavalrymen in brocade uniforms, their military appearance was neat and majestic. When the camps passed by, only two men in plain clothes passed by. The emperor was suspicious and asked the people nearby: "Who is this?"
The attendants on the left and right replied: Two people from a thousand tax collectors can equal the Liao cavalry of five thousand.
There are many such jokes, and Zhu Yijun couldn't help but laugh after reading them. These jokes are widely circulated, and to a certain extent, they reflect public opinion. One of the emperor's infantry camps is not as frightening to the people as two tax collectors. Thousands of households.
From the time when taxes were collected from thousands of households, all the people began to know that there was a king.
The Taxation of Thousands of Households allowed all the people of the Ming Dynasty to know that there was such an emperor, but similarly, the Taxation Yuan should also make repairs to the system amid the contradiction between tax evasion and tax collection. The Taxation Yuan's Taxation Tiqi has exceeded Thirteen thousand people, this scale is really large enough. If it continues to expand in an unruly manner, it will probably end badly.
"Wang Cifu's opinion is very good." Zhu Yijun approved Wang Chonggu's seven tax collection items, each of which hit the mark.
Feng Bao said with a smile on his face: "Several ministers said that His Majesty's method is still the root cause. Taking the initiative to file taxes has clarified a key issue. In tax evasion and tax audit, who is the enemy? If we don’t figure this issue out clearly, I’m afraid the tax bureau will really "
In the third volume of Class Theory, "Struggle", regarding the issue of struggle, we must first figure out who is the enemy and who is the friend. This is the basis of struggle. If you can't even figure out the enemy. , that is to fight with the air in vain.
Proactively filing tax returns is actually screening, constantly screening out enemies, and finally reaching a general consensus.
If the Taxation Yuan makes the wrong enemy, no matter how perfectly designed the system is, it will eventually become quicksand in the long river of history.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I am just a person who makes decisions, and it is the tax collectors who have worked hard. Mr. said that these tax stamps are rare, so let's do it, just like the extravagant things sold in the imperial village. ."
"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Bao was so frightened that he knew all about the eunuchs of Huangzhuang's pockets.
"In the next chapter, the Fusi of Beizhen Town will limit the number of Tiqi miscellaneous servants. It should not be too many." Zhu Yijun lazily picked up the memorial and continued to polish it.
Zhu Yijun respects Hai Rui's integrity very much, but he knows very well that not everyone in this world is Hai Rui. There are some things that will not affect the greatness of the Ming Dynasty again, so he can only be so rare and confused.
Pan Jixun and Shen Guanyi jointly reported that the spring drought in the areas bordering Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia did not cause civil unrest because sweet potatoes were really drought-tolerant. After summer, the drought began to ease, and the emperor prepared 1.5 million yuan. Shi's grain was sent to Shengzhou, 200,000 Shi, in preparation for the disaster, but it was of no use.
Pan Jixun asked the emperor to take away the grain, and Zhu Yijun and Zhu Biao left it to the local area to reward the soldiers for the farming and fighting.
The emperor is not short of this food, but Suiyuan is in short supply, and so are the people in Suiyuan.
"It has been five years since Governor Pan went to Suiyuan, but Suiyuan has become full of vitality. The sand sea far from Yulin has finally stopped." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in his hand and suddenly thought of Xu Zhenming's teacher Ma As Yilong said, manpower can conquer heaven.
When Pan Jixun arrived at Yulin, the Shahai Mu Us Pasture, a short distance away from Yulin, was deserted due to overgrazing, and mobile sand dunes soon appeared, which aroused Pan Jixun's vigilance.
The production of more forage of various colors, the production of water and fertilizer, the change of nomadic herding to fixed-grazing production mode, afforestation, coal production and reduction of logging, etc., coupled with the efforts of thousands of people, this year, the sand sea finally stopped and continued. Heading towards Yulin.
Feng Bao said with a solemn expression: "Sir, I once again recommended Governor Pan to the cabinet. Uncle Zong is in poor health, and Liu Dongxing, who follows Governor Pan, can be of great use."
Liu Dongxing has been in the cabinet since the second year of Longqing. Bye bye Pan After Ji Xun became the master, he has been studying flood control with Pan Jixun. Eighteen years have passed, and Suiyuan has less than three million inhabitants after all. It was only the Ming Dynasty that moved 140,000 people to achieve such a scale. There are more people in Songjiang Prefecture than in Suiyuan.
Liu Dongxing’s ability in Guan Suiyuan is not a problem.
"Hey, I wanted Governor Pan to return to Beijing, but he refused to come back." Zhu Yijun spread his hands and said, "He was not happy when I promoted him, so he declined."
Wan Shihe was a bit old and in poor health. Zhu Yijun asked Pan Jixun for his opinion and asked him to come back to Beijing to accept the Minister of Ceremonies into the cabinet. However, Pan Jixun refused outright on the grounds of lack of virtue. Compared with serving you as the emperor, , Pan Jixun even wanted to see the day when the Yellow River was clear.
Pan Jixun's qualifications have long been sufficient, but he feels that he is not suitable for being an official. Flood control is his true job. "Let the cabinet recommend it again." Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "In the past few years, there have not been so many people in the court who have evil thoughts and constant fighting. It all relies on the harmony of thousands of people to mediate. If thousands of people are harmonious, everything will be harmonious."
Wan Shihe’s body can’t hold on anymore , he was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Jiajing, and later became a Shujishi. He was about to achieve great success, but due to his youthful spirit, he impeached Yan Song and was directly sent to the Zhou Palace to serve as a long history. Wan Shihe refused, and later he was Slowly moving around, step by step, he climbed to the Wenhua Hall and became the eldest uncle.
He has been the Minister of Rites for fourteen years. Wan Shihe's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and he has taken more and more sick leave. Zhu Yijun has politely declined Wan Shihe's resignation several times, but seeing It's almost time for the oil to run out.
Zhu Yijun still remembered that Wang Zhihao, Zhang Juzheng's current in-law, chose to retreat bravely, while Wan Shihe chose to follow the emperor's path into darkness. So many years have passed in a flash.
On June 24, the 14th year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun came to the imperial gate of Wenhua Hall to listen to the government. The officials cheered in unison to greet him.
"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand to signal the ministers to stand down.
"I have my own introductory memorial." Wan Shihe did not sit down, but bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am begging for bones. The Ministry of Rites has a heavy responsibility, and the entrustment is not human. I am old and sick and cannot bear the heavy responsibility. Sacrifice cannot be done at one time "How can I send thousands of gifts to you? I sincerely ask your Majesty for your permission."
After saying this, Wan Shihe felt a little emotional. He has been in charge of this Wenhua Hall for fourteen years. Once he leaves, he will never be able to do it again. There is no way to return to this Wenhua Palace.
"Uncle Zong, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun did not say yes or no, but first asked the old Wan Shiping to be safe, and then looked at Wan Shihe for a long time.
Wan Shihe has a head full of white hair. He is still energetic, but he will become confused after sitting for a long time. He is not pretending, he really can't hold on anymore.
After a long time, Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "When I was young, my eldest uncle took office and I was very dissatisfied with him. At that time, my eldest uncle told me that people in the Ming Dynasty did not read history books, so they were unwise. ”
“Dazongbo Guoyi collated historical records for my study. Da Zongbo has no doubts about the ancients and will definitely create something new.” See, we never stick to the old ways. The country is lucky enough to receive advice from Dazong Boli on all matters in the Ministry of Rites. He has remonstrances but not criticisms. He has died without illness. He has done his best in the service of the country. He is a minister of great virtue and deserves to be honored. "
"I was promoted to Prince Shaobao, Enyin's son became an official for Yinxu, and became Minister of Shangbao, and Enyin's son became a member of the Imperial Academy."
"I am so lucky. I have worked hard for Your Majesty and won His Majesty's favor. I have only done a small amount of merit. In fact, I am sick of the dog and my horse. I am unable to do the ministry. I am afraid that I will deceive the emperor and harm the country overnight. I thank Your Majesty for your holy grace." Wan Shihe bowed again and thanked the emperor for his grace, then stood up, looked at the others, and smiled.
Wan Shihe said with a smile: "Everyone, we are honored to work together. Let's take the first step."
"Send Uncle Zong." Zhang Juzheng took the ministers to see Wan Shihe as a gift and sent Wanshi off. and leave.
Wan Shihe walked to the door of Wenhua Hall, the sky was bright and the sun was blazing in the sky. He turned around, glanced at His Majesty on the Dragon Throne, bowed his head again, and said loudly: "I retire. "
Zhu Yijun stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Send it to Uncle Da Zong."
Wan Shihe stood up straight, looked at the emperor, and seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say a word, showed a rather kind smile, and then walked down the Danbi step by step and disappeared from everything. In people's sight.
He walked into Wenyuan Pavilion, packed up his personal belongings, and had already handed over his official duties.
His Majesty sent two pedestrians to escort Wan Shihe out of the palace. Wan Shihe walked very slowly. He was greedy for power. The emperor chased him several times, but he refused to leave. The emperor scolded him. He was in a state of disrepair, and he wanted to read history books and continue to be an official. He was addicted to officialdom, and he never denied it.
Your Majesty also has the nerve to say that he is a virtuous minister. He has no virtue at all. The emperor said that he washes the ground and opens his mouth and shuts up. This is the ancestral law. He is the one who must be defeated in Qingliu's mouth. He is a flatterer. The treacherous minister who flatters his superiors.
But his body could not support him to continue serving as an official.
He walked out of Donghua Gate, looked back, took the things from the hands of passers-by, got in his car, and went home. His Majesty sent a great doctor to examine him, which was very gracious.
The court meeting finally recommended Shen Li to the cabinet. Shen Li is a high-ranking official in the court. He is as pure and pure as Hai Rui. Compared with Wan Shihe's smoothness, Shen Li is just like Wan Shihe. Two completely opposite people.
“Since there is no problem with the seven tax assessment items, let’s implement them.” After the meeting on the seven tax assessment items, Zhu Yijun said to the courtiers: “Although the taxation institute has not yet reached the point where there are complaints, it still needs to be implemented. It's not far away. Someone has made up a joke. This time he still refuses to abolish it. There must be a lot of discussion. You, please work hard and move forward. "
The tax collection yamen is not in line with benevolence and righteousness. It is a collection of yamen. It has been criticized since its birth. The advent of the seven tax collection measures this time is a step-by-step contradiction. However, the imperial court had no idea of abolishing the Taxation Yuan, which would inevitably cause the scholar-bureaucrats to attack in groups.
"Your Majesty, this is the law established by our ancestors." Seeing His Majesty's worry, Shen Li immediately bowed his head and expressed his opinion.
As soon as these words came out, the courtiers looked at Shen Li suddenly. Unexpectedly, Zhengchen Gukun also began to imitate Wan Shihe's tricks. Will his ancestors follow the law at every turn? ! How could our ancestors have such a perfect method!
Zhu Yijun asked in surprise: "Uncle Zong, why did you say this?"
"Your Majesty, in the Guo Huan case that occurred in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao once said: Chongdian Your Majesty, if there is any slight offense, the sword will follow." Shen Li bowed his head and said.
"Uncle Da Zong, tell me carefully." Zhu Yijun said with some doubts.
The four major cases in the early years of the Republic of China are the Hu Weiyong case in the 13th year of Hongwu, the empty seal case in the 15th year of Hongwu, the Guo Huan case in the 18th year of Hongwu, and the Lan Yu case in the 26th year of Hongwu. They are also known as the four major cases in the early years of the country. case, but the Guo Huan case seems to be the most inconspicuous case among the four major cases. It seems that few people talk about it, but in fact it has a profound impact.
Shen Li stood up and said to everyone: "Why did the Guo Huan case break out? It was all because Guo Huan embezzled the national tax autumn grain. Zhejiang's autumn grain was 4.5 million dan. Guo Huan enriched his own pocket and only paid 2 million dan. ”
"From the investigation of the Guo Huan case, the case was earth-shattering, involving twelve chief secretaries, including Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishments, Wang Zhi, the Minister of War, and other court officials."
"Calendar Four Months later, under heavy scrutiny, a total of 24 million shi were found to be lost in state funds; in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the tax revenue was only 29.4 million shi."
The Guo Huan case was caused by Guo Huan. But it can make the world tremble The root cause of the turmoil was the loss of national funds, and corruption had seriously affected the economic order of the country. In other words, the authority of the Ming Emperor and the court had been greatly eroded and distorted, which is why Zhu Yuanzhang killed him so painfully.
Shen Li continued: "Your Majesty, at that time, the world was in chaos and the people were financially strapped. However, Wu Xun was often dissatisfied with the tenants granted by the officials to the public farms and occupied the mountains, lakes, and tea gardens of the officials and people, relying on the situation. They cheated the law and bullied the countryside; while local powerful people often sent their land to other households under the name of Wu Xun, or colluded with officials at all levels to forge books, lie about disasters, and deceive tax relief;"
"Guo Huan was in Zhejiang, and he skillfully set up water money, food money, treasury money, god and Buddha money, etc., and collected traitors who harmed the people, just like tigers and wolves, and frequent civil unrest occurred."
" In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported I heard that Emperor Taizu Gao, the Thirteen Divisions of the Ming Dynasty, and the taxation departments and bureaus of all prefectures and counties, had 364 people whose annual income was less than 500 shi. Where did the grain and cash go? ”
"The Guo Huan case was both anti-corruption and tax control. Officials from all over the country obeyed orders and feared the law for a while, clean themselves and loved the people. In order to be the superiors, the official governance was smooth. However, it changed! I arrested Ren and Xuan for the second dynasty, and Fu Xun rested. The people were happy, and the official governance was clarified. more than a hundred years ”
The case of Guo Huan started from the left and right ministers of the six ministries and officials, including officials in the provinces and provinces, and tens of thousands of people were killed. It was with such severe punishments and severe punishments that the country of the Ming Dynasty was completely stabilized. .
Zhang Juzheng asked, is a court that cannot collect taxes still a court?
Emperor Taizu Gao actually gave the answer a long time ago. If it cannot collect taxes, it will not be a court!
You don’t even have money or food, how can you govern the world? When he couldn't collect the money and food, he looked at the knife in his hand. Chongdian imperial guard, if he was slightly offended, the knife and saw followed.
The Guo Huan case destroyed the corrupt network composed of martial arts, bureaucrats, officials, and local powerful people; the strength of local powerful people was greatly weakened, and the land and population hidden by these meat-eaters were re-incorporated into the imperial court The scope of taxation; the tax base was stabilized, and at the same time powerful people were physically eliminated, the proportion of good family farmers was expanded, agricultural development was promoted, and the country and the country were completely stabilized.
The price is tens of thousands of people dead.
Shen Li bowed his head again and said: "Your Majesty, our ancestral law is here. If anyone insists on holding on to the tax collection court, then let him speak with an axe."
The Tax Inspection Yuan is already very merciful. You don’t have to pay various fines for the first time. As long as you pay back, you won’t be embarrassed. If you pay a certain percentage of fines for the second time, you won’t be punished for the third time.
You have to be like the burning emperor of Zhejiang who stayed in the government office, your majesty led the troops to suppress the rebellion, exiled the powerful, and equalized the land, before you would give up?
"It turns out that the Guo Huan case was for anti-corruption and tax control. I only know one but not the other. I will bear in mind what the great uncle said." Zhu Yijun thought about it. It took him a long time to speak.
"It's my duty." Shen Li bowed his head again and finished speaking before sitting down.
Official ministers, you look at me, I look at you, crazy eye contact, this tough-minded official actually started to talk about the ancestral Dharma?
After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun returned to the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He asked someone to fetch the "Imperial Imperial Edict" and "Records" and read them carefully. If Wan Shihe said this, Zhu Yijun would never do it. Verify the authenticity, but what Shen Li said made Zhu Yijun a little suspicious, so he decided to take a look for himself.
“Ah, it is true that our ancestors set the law. The Guo Huan case seems to be about anti-corruption, but in fact it is for national taxation. Therefore, the taxation office seems to be a little crowded, but in fact it is relatively easy to get involved, and tens of thousands of people are implicated. People should be more gentle in big cases," Zhu Yijun said with a slight surprise after checking the old cases.
In short, Zhu Yuanzhang did it too, and even more.
Feng Bao hurriedly said: "That's why scholars rarely talk about this case."
This case cannot be discussed. As long as we talk about corruption, concealment, concealment, and clever use of names, Problems such as losses in national taxation will come one after another. If we don't talk about it, we will just close our eyes and cover our ears, pretending that nothing has happened, and we are afraid that someone in the DPRK will talk about it.
After the court meeting, Hai Rui pulled Shen Li and walked aside. After everyone left, Hai Rui stood in front of Zuoshun's door. He hesitated to speak. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to Shen Li, "Why bother with this?" Like? If your words spread, won’t everyone shout like Wan Zongbo?”
< br>"So what? Uncle Wan Zong retreated unscathed. This just smoothed the road for me. I have to find another way?" Shen Li said matter-of-factly: "Uncle Wan Zong told me that this highland of wind and public opinion , if you don’t stand on the upper hand, the enemy will take over.”
“ I have thought about this tax collection department for a long time, but it must be there, otherwise what should I do? Isn’t it a dream to hope that I will be able to control the difficulties of the imperial court and your majesty? "< br>
“What Shen Zongbo said makes sense.” Hai Rui thought for a moment and said, “Very well. Good.”
When Wan Shihe wanted to become an official, Zhang Juzheng immediately recommended Pan Jixun instead of Shen Li, because he was worried that Shen Li would not be able to perform his duties as the great uncle and create a minister of rites who would oppose the New Deal every day. , is not beneficial to the country, so Pan Jixun was recommended.
But Pan Jixun didn't want to make progress, he just wanted to control the water, so Caiting recommended Shen Li.
Shen Li also had to think about how to be a good uncle and carry up the banner of the Ministry of Rites. After much thought, he decided that Wan Shihe's route was safer. Wan Shihe left Wen with dignity. He is from Huadian, and he is very kind and courteous. This road can be taken, and it is a broad road, so why not take it?
If you get involved with cheap Confucians, you will only end up going to the Northeast to fill the big blisters.
