This is obviously unreasonable.

There is such an injustice in the world.

For the lower side, he transferred the heavy taxes to the poor people, but he took all the benefits.

Turning around, he deceived Emperor Tianqi and collected their taxes. They motivated people to resist taxes, crying and grief.

Isn’t this fooling people into being like monkeys?

The officials forced the people to rebel, but the people rebeled. The blame was made by Emperor Tianqi. After the Ming Dynasty was over, the one who died was Emperor Tianqi.

What about them? Once they kneel down, they may not lose their high-ranking and generous salary.

Thinking of this, Emperor Aoki felt bad and said furiously: "Is that so you can not pay taxes?"

Yang Fang said in embarrassment: "I don't mean this."

"What does that mean?"

Yang Fang was forced to do something urgent today, but there was no way. When it comes to this, he decided to express his interests: "Your Majesty, if the tax on scholars is levied, then who will share the world with Your Majesty? Who will come to the court to become an official, who will suppress the thieves for Your Majesty, and who will govern the people for Your Majesty? Not to mention anything else, even the local food tax is also done by the scholars. The Ming Dynasty... is the world of Your Majesty and Scholars. If the scholars and gentry in the world are disagreeable with Your Majesty, then I think... I am afraid that there will be a disaster that will fall."

Yang Fang told the truth today.

You can do it yourself. You can collect my taxes, but if you have the ability, let everyone pay them together.

As forcing everyone to cut their flesh, please think twice.

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he wanted to scold him for being shameless.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you are willing to pay taxes, you must be free from your heart and virtue, then you should be free from your heart and virtue. The Ming Dynasty has given enough kindness, and what you should give and what you can give, even if you cannot give, you will be given. This tax will not only be collected, but also has to be collected intensified. Yang Qing, just start."

When Yang Fang heard this, she felt aggrieved: "Your Majesty...My..."

Emperor Tianqi looked at him with a long look and said, "If you don't pay it, it's okay. I will copy it myself, and the amount is as much as you want. Ten taxes and one is a rule of history. If you don't pay this silver, you have to pay it."

Yang Fang was stunned for a moment, and his face had completely changed.

In his opinion, Emperor Aoki was no different from the tyrant emperor.

After Emperor Tianqi said that, he turned his sleeves: "Don't worry, there are people who accompany you, whether you want money or death, just think about it yourself!"

"Also, in the future, I will say anything to compete for profit with the people. If you want to be the people, then be the people obediently. Most of the people in the world have now become thieves, so you can also follow the thieves."

After Emperor Tianqi said that, he immediately said, "Go back to the palace."

Emperor Aoki didn't say anything more.

More than 10 million taels of silver were copied. Emperor Tianqi did not believe in this evil and could not cure Yang Fang.

Return to the Qinzheng Hall in Xiyuan.

Emperor Tianqi was still angry when he sat down.

Zhang Jingyi also followed, and Emperor Tianqi obviously had something to say, and said, "Sit down."

Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Jingyi both bowed and sat down.

Emperor Tianqi comforted the case and said, "Is this matter really as Yang Fang said? Is it because Yang Fang is exaggerating?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "The actual situation should be like this. I have heard a saying that bad money is eliminated. If people have bad money in their hands, they will tend to use the bad money to circulate in the market and store the good money. In this way, there will be more and more bad money on the market, so that people are unwilling to use good money to shop."

"The same is true for doing business. The gentry is mixed in the local area, and through marriage, it has long formed an unbreakable network of relationships. At the same time, most of their children are scholars with fame and reputation, and they can make friends with government officials and even ministers at any time. This means that their goods can be unobstructed and avoid the harassment of local servants and soldiers. Merchants have to pay taxes, but only they dare to resist taxes. Therefore, the cost of their business is far lower than that of ordinary merchants. The risks taken by ordinary merchants are higher than that of them, and the cost of goods is higher than that of them. Over time, the real merchants will naturally be squeezed out by them."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes turned cold and said angrily: "Since that's the case, I will definitely pay the tax on this business. Just how to collect it. If there are ten or one hundred people, it would be fine, but what if there are ten thousand or ten thousand people like this?"

Wei Zhongxian immediately said, "What's the problem? I urged the eunuchs to order them to guard the various prefectures, so that they can share the worries of Your Majesty."

It sounded funny when Zhang Jing heard it. In his opinion, the eunuch guarding was not working at all.

Not to mention, this is a cure for symptoms but not the root cause. Are the eunuchs in the local area a good person?

I am afraid that half of the tax they collected were taken away by themselves and after paying it up layer by layer, I am afraid that there would be not much.

So Zhang Jing said, "In this world, tax collection has always been costly. There is no problem with the eunuchs in charge of tax collection, but... How can they collect taxes on themselves? After all, one person cannot collect taxes. I heard that many eunuchs in charge of the place recruit people after they arrive at the place, but who in the place is willing to be enemies with the gentry but surrender to the eunuchs? Although eunuchs have a destiny, they may have to go back to the palace in a few years. Anyone with a little knowledge is unwilling to surrender."

"The final result is that those who defect to the eunuchs in the custody are often local thieves. Although these people... can also extort some money, they will be even more harmful to the local area. Those gentry can inspire people and start tax resistance. According to my opinion, they are afraid that it will have nothing to do with the minions in the eunuchs who bully men and women."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but glared at Zhang Jingyi, believing that Zhang Jingyi had ruined his good deeds.

But Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Yes, Yang Fang dares to tell me that scholars should not pay taxes, because I want to rule the world with scholars. This is not unreasonable. He is sure that I am afraid of being jealous of the rats and being afraid of me. He also knows that if I am completely disconnected from the scholars, then the world will be used by me in all the prefectures and counties. If this continues, it will be a bad thing. What good way does Zhang Qing have?"

"It's really a coincidence." Zhang Jing said: "I am in Fengqiu, but I am actually reforming commercial tax. I don't know how the results are. I am thinking about how to use the lowest cost to collect this commercial tax. The original tax collection method is too outdated. Why not? I will try it first. If your Majesty feels safe, it can be extended in the future."

Emperor Aoki said, “Is that so? Why didn’t you say it earlier?”

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "My fief is just a mere county. It's really embarrassing to say that. I'm not easy to talk about these trivial matters."

Emperor Tianqi was full of expectations for this, so he said: "Although a county is small, it should not be underestimated. Since this is the case, then you should do it with confidence and boldness. As long as you can get money from these people, I will support you no matter what."

"Really?" Zhang Jingyi became energetic and said excitedly: "I am a little unbelievable."

Emperor Tianqi was still angry. After hearing Zhang Jingyi's words, he stared at him and said, "You don't believe me?"

Zhang Jing said: "Why... make a document?"

Emperor Apocalypse: “…”

Zhang Jingyi said boldly: "Just say that no matter what I do, as long as I am in Fengqiu, I will be innocent and have a proof of the word."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Why, what did you really do in Fengqiu that you want to lose your head?"

Zhang Jingyi really wants to say, the one who knows me is Zhu Youxiao.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Actually, I dare not do it, but now that Your Majesty has said that, I want to give it a try. Of course, if Your Majesty refuses, I will definitely not dare."

Emperor Tianqi said seriously: "There is no need to establish a document. I have made a promise to you in front of Wei's partner, so I should keep it."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi stood up and said, "Look at this Yang Fang, and pay the commercial tax on him first."

Zhang Jingyi can understand the mood of Emperor Tianqi.

This is a feeling of being fooled, or rather, Emperor Aoki is not a simple person. He can understand that a person is reluctant to pay taxes. After all, if the tax is received by Emperor Aoki, Emperor Aoki will be worried. But he cannot accept it. These people are greedy on one side, but on the other side, they are polite and pack themselves into the way people call for their lives.

Zhang Jing is waiting to say goodbye together.

But at this moment... a eunuch came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, Guide Mansion urgently."

It's Guide Mansion again...

Emperor Tianqi was obviously still a little concerned about this brother. He should have told him that if there was any news about Guide Mansion, he would report it immediately.

Emperor Tianqi said, "Come and take it to see."

After taking the memorial, Emperor Tianqi looked down and couldn't help but make a sound.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say curiously: "Your Majesty, I wonder what happened?"

Emperor Tianqi said in amazement: "This letter Wang Wei is really powerful. He defeated thousands of bandits, and the bandits were scared. Not only that, do you have any impression of Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites?"

Wen Tiren...

Zhang Jingyi really feels familiar with this name.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Since King Xin became a vassal, he refused to even be the Minister of Rites, and he followed King Xin to Guide. In Guide, he was appointed as the chief minister of the King Xin's mansion and assisted King Xin to govern Guide. The memorial said that he did something vividly and many people left after his reputation. Under his rule, Guide Mansion was like a paradise in the Henan Provincial Administration Commission."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi said with a little strangeness: "This is strange. Wen Tiren, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, can be appointed as the civil affairs so soon. Is it okay for his political achievements to be like this? My brother, I really value him..."

At this moment, an eunuch came hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
