"Your Majesty, I think business is going to flourish."

All the officials were stunned, but saw Fang Xingshiran going out of work, and then leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's taxes are mostly paid in their true nature. Although they are enough, they lack money. What about Baochao? Lord Xia is an expert. I will not repeat it here. I just want to talk about my views on taxes."

The honorary relatives all looked sideways. Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng who came to court today, looked at Fang Xing coldly, and then whispered to Zhang Fu in front of him: "Your sister-in-law is fun. You are obviously awarded the title for your military merits, but you ran to the civil servants. What does it look like if you are not civil or military!"

Zhang Fu did not turn around, his lips moved slightly: "Your Majesty allows him to run around. Do you have any objections?"

Fang Xing often went to the lineup in the civil service team, and some people had impeached him for this, but Zhu Di seemed to think that the court team was not energetic, and Fang Xing, who had been sent to the lineup, was better, and directly ignored these impeachments.

Zhu Yongjie glared at Fang Xing hatefully.

"Your Majesty, our salary has always been a big problem. If you give too much, you will have no money in the court. If you give less, you will be embarrassed. After all, not everyone has the ability to make money like a minister!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Fang Xing's words immediately won the favor of many people, especially civil servants, who are almost the Moonlight clan with the lowest rank.

Zhu Di listened quietly that the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was set by Zhu Yuanzhang and also belonged to the ancestral system.

But Fang Xing just now said that this ancestral system has some flaws, but no one can see that he came out to impeach.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Ultimately, it is still a matter of interest!

"At present, the taxes in the Ming Dynasty mainly come from the fields. Of course, farmers do not have money, so the taxes are mainly based on food."

Fang Xing took the opportunity to look up and glanced at Zhu Di. Seeing that he was expressionless, he said: "But the consequence of a single tax source is that farmers are suffering. Some places have received 80% of their tax collections, and they force farmers to flee with their families to exile. This is the price of my Daming full warehouse of food. What do you think?"

Fang Xing is not the first person to reveal this matter. Someone has long submitted memorials, saying that local farmers are too miserable and local officials are too greedy.

Everyone knows more or less what the officials below are, so no one dares to say that the taxes of the state are not that high!

In the silent court, only Fang Xing's voice was echoing.

"The military camp has also begun to be corrupt. Civil and military officials colluded with each other, and embezzled fields from time to time. There are probably many people who are empty salary, right?"

Fang Xing looked at Meng Ying.

Jin Zhong felt a little warm in his heart, and Fang Xing didn't fire him. This is friendship.

Meng Ying looked at Zhu Di and said with difficulty: "There are such things, but there shouldn't be much."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, it's not necessarily true! I heard that those who are unwilling to serve can escape by giving civil and military officials some benefits. The annual military pay is embezzled. Isn't that much?"

Meng Ying couldn't answer, this is the hidden rule, everyone in the Governor's Office of the Five Army knew it. However, it was just a local decay, and the garrisons in the border areas still maintained their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Fang Xing, what do you want to say?"

Meng Ying's back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

Fang Xing said, "Your Majesty, the local garrison is in corruption. I am worried that this wind will spread to the border, or that there is a warning in the local area and cannot respond to the emergency. The center needs to deploy a large army to wipe out."

"Xing and Bo are alarmist."

Jin Youzi came out of the class and said, "The sea of ​​Ming Dynasty is clear and the river is peaceful. I have not heard of such a traitor in the local area for a long time. Can Xing He Bo be more rigorous when he talks about things?"

Fang Xing smiled and looked around and said, "Mr. Jin's words reminded me of Bian Que, haha!"

When Bian Que saw that there were few stories about Duke Huan of Cai, Jin Youzi became angry.

Are you fucking me saying I'm blind? Or is I a fool?

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked down, with more than one thought in his mind.

Fang Xing said, "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, otherwise it will spread and no one dares to take action by then. The connection will be too big!"

This is openly slandering all civil and military officials!

The two civil and military squads were a little flirted. Soon Zhu Yong left the squad and said, "Your Majesty, I have visited many garrisons, with complete staff and skillful training. Xing and Bo are attracting attention!"

"His Majesty."

Fang Xing did not refute Zhu Yong's words, "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is full of enemies, and if we don't have any force, we will be beaten. I think we should thoroughly investigate the garrison, revitalize the magnificence of the Ming army, and then... use swords and guns to obtain all the resources needed for the Ming Dynasty!"

It's getting late!

If you drag on it, no one will be available at that time. How much time will it take to retrain troops?

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "I have heard of this matter, and I have my own opinions!"

In the fifth year of Yongle, a memorial from the censor mentioned this matter, and it was even heavier than today. However, when Zhu Di sent people down, he found that it had become a dead end.

The military status of the Ming Dynasty was a lifetime system and an inheritance system.

The biggest reason for the deterioration of the garrison is that the northerners went to the south to serve in the army, while the southerners, on the contrary, missed their family for a long time. In addition, they were privately detained and enslaved by officials, and those who did not escape were numb or timid.

The bold ones escaped. What combat power does such a garrison have?

Of course, Zhu Di knew these disadvantages, but if he wanted to eliminate them, he had to undergo major surgery.

But this requires time and courage! And bear the price caused by this!

Jin Youzi glanced at Fang Xing disdainfully, and said deliberately when he returned to class: "Is Xinghe Bo planning to make trouble for Your Majesty on the New Year's Day?"

Zhu Yong also chuckled lightly, and his beard looked a little charming, which made Fang Xing retwine.

"The Ming Dynasty is now peaceful all over the world, I congratulate you!"

Zhu Yong started, and the remaining officials came out to congratulate him one after another.

"I congratulate you for your Majesty!"

"I congratulate you for your Majesty!"

"minister…"

The sound gradually became neat and echoed constantly in the cleverly designed hall.

Fang Xing stood there alone, his waist and back were straight and his eyes were sharp.

The Ming Dynasty has many disadvantages, but these civil and military officials do not want to make progress and only want to maintain the status quo. When encountering innovations that require big moves, no one will stand up to agree, even Hu Guang, the "prime minister" who is determined to leave a name in history books.

Zhu Di did not see any joy, but just accepted the congratulations and sent people to disperse.

Hu Guang caught up with Fang Xing and said with a pale face: "Xinghe Bo, is it necessary to say these words at this time?"

"have!"

Fang Xing turned around and stood still, and the two seemed to be the mainstay among the crowds in the scattered court.

"When you are just thinking about singing the peace of the world, I feel it is necessary to pour a basin of cold water on you to let you know that the world is still full of dangers! Innovation is urgent!"
