Chapter 905: Won my heart
Emperor Hongzhi felt like he was seeing a ghost. Novel.
To be honest, those who are forced to death by taxes are now bold and commanding people to protect the road.
Obviously, this can only be explained by supernatural powers.
But until now... Emperor Hongzhi still doesn't know what happened.
At least... the whole thing is not clear yet.
But he felt vaguely in his heart that the situation might be deviating from many people's imagination, and seemed to be... developing in an unknown direction.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say: "Fang Jifan."
"My son is here." Fang Jifan was ashamed. The gentry were too brave. If these forces were used to oppose reforms, what about a county, one prefecture, one province, and two capitals and thirteen provinces?
This is unimaginable.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, have you said it long ago? Take it from the people and use it for the people. In the past, the court and the government did not collect taxes, at least not collect taxes for wealthy businessmen and gentry. How much tax can they get? Even if the heavy burden is added to the people, the people who lost all their money and could only barely maintain the emergency expenses of the court and the government."
"But now, since the taxes are collected, the money should be used for the people. In the past, the government even needed to raise funds for the gentry when building a county school, but with the money, why not to build it yourself? Why not build it better? Just like this road, with the money, you can start construction. Not only should the road be repaired, but it also needs to be used for the gentry and the people. My son predicted that in the past, Dingxing County went back and forth from the new city, at most five or six days, or at least two or three days. If it was a carriage and carriages were still carrying goods, it would be even more terrible once it encountered muddy weather. Sometimes it might not be possible to go back and forth. But now it is different. The road is repaired, and the carriages and horses can go back and forth in one day. Your Majesty... Think about it, the time required for our capital, the outer city to the inner city, is probably not much less than that from Dingxing County to the new city."
"When the road is opened, isn't this Dingxing County no different from the outer city of the capital? Just like in the North Tongzhou, this North Tongzhou was once a waste of money, but because it opened the canal, it became a thoroughfare. Countless goods need to be transported there. How much wealth can this bring? The greater advantage of roads than canals is that everyone can use the roads, waterways... but someone needs to have a boat, and the government also strictly prohibits private ships, non-official ships, and grain ships, and they are not allowed to go into the water. In order to prevent waterways from being blocked and grain ships cannot come and go freely."
Emperor Hongzhi probably understood.
He frowned: "The gentry makes profits from their ability."
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "It's not just gentry, but all the gentry and people in Dingxing County can make profits. Otherwise, how can the gentry quickly gather so many people? There must be many people who spontaneously protect their own interests. Your Majesty, Dingxing County is Baoding Prefecture, and even the poorest county in the entire Beizhili, with a sparse population and a barren land. In the capital, the price of a kilogram of rice that can be removed from the shell has reached ten cents per kilogram, but in Dingxing County, the same rice is only three or four cents, and this... is no one cares about it?"
Emperor Hongzhi still didn't understand: "Why didn't they come to the capital in the past?"
Fang Jifan despised Emperor Hongzhi in his heart, why not eat meat minced: "The road is difficult to move, and the cost of manpower and material resources is too high during transportation. What's more, because the road is difficult to move, the road is sparsely populated, and the government's reaction time is not timely. There are even robbers with shearing paths on the road. There are too many variables in the middle. When this kilogram of rice is transported to the capital, the cost of transportation and hidden dangers may offset all the profits. Now it is different. Now you can travel back and forth a day and an night. And because the road is good, a car from the previous one transported several hundred kilograms of rice, even if it is
It’s rare. Now, using a new carriage and a road with such a road, it’s no problem to transport thousands of kilograms or even a few thousand kilograms. The road passes fast, and the land inspection department can react at any time along the way to fight thieves. In this way, the risks and transportation costs have been reduced to the lowest, and the merchants then found profitable. Not only that, your Majesty think about it, the land price in the capital is so expensive now, and every inch of land is valuable. If many workshops are located in Dingxing County, they will produce from there and use carriages and horses for half a day to transport them to the capital, what a great benefit."
"At that time, Dingxing County has tax bank, not only will all industries flourish, but the government can also build larger-scale county schools to allow children to enter school, build more roads, connect with various places, and even provide relief to the people, the court and the government at any time. With the money, there are too many things that can be done."
Emperor Hongzhi kept nodding. This was a brand new idea. He couldn't help but ask again: "But, this stall is too big, and the cost is probably not small."
Fang Jifan was happy: "Your Majesty, the original intention of the reform is not to steal the wealth of others, nor is it that if the government gets profit, the gentry will be forced to destroy their families. If this is the case, the reform will not work. When a few disciples formulated the salary and tax system, the minister repeatedly mentioned this."
Emperor Hongzhi looked speechless: "You keep talking."
Fang Jifan said: "The original intention of the new tax system is that the people are rich, and the country is rich. The government collects taxes in order to enrich the people and to enrich the democracy... Whether it is the court or the government, if you want to collect more taxes, you must make the gentry and the people rich. When they are rich, you have to pay more taxes. The benefits of the court and the government are even more amazing, and you have the motivation to build more roads, build more academies, support the elderly and the young, and even... assist the gentry and the people, promote agriculture and business. In this way, those gentry and the rich businessmen, even if they are reluctant to pay such heavy taxes, they know that these taxes will benefit themselves in the end. Even if they are unwilling to do so, they will have no resentment."
Emperor Hongzhi gradually began to have a blueprint in his mind.
A new concept was gradually born: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Fang Jifan smiled bitterly: "I actually mentioned it, but Your Majesty doesn't care."
"..." Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "You didn't explain it clearly. But... After all, it was just because Dingxing County tried, so I allowed you and your disciples to 'buddle around'."
Although he was talking about 'nons', he had more expectations for Dingxing County and immediately said: "Now Dingxing County is in chaos, so I will immediately summon all officials to discuss and discuss countermeasures."
Emperor Hongzhi held his hands behind his back, with a little excitement on his face.
Didn’t you agree that Mr. Fang was so angry? I want to see what you said.
He couldn't help laughing: "You two, go together."
Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, and Zhu Houzhao winked at Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan looked dignified and generous. This commander... has been sublimated. Now he is a minister in charge of the world. Zhu Houzhao, you, a scum, don't wink at me, what does it look like?
……………………
The sudden court discussion caught all officials off guard.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and people whispered and whispered.
Liu Jian and others showed some concerns. The news they heard was that something might have happened in Dingxing County.
But there is no accurate news yet.
Wang Ao, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, was upright and honest. Recently, more and more ministers have shown dissatisfaction with the reform. Although the reform was only in Dingxing County,... the worries of the officials and the Shilin have become even deeper.
Wang Ao was not convinced, and why did he have to reform if he didn't agree with His Majesty?
There have been several good consequences for reforms throughout the dynasties. Those gentry ruled the world with the emperor. If His Majesty loses their support, a disaster will be right in front of him.
The emperor is his disciple. As the imperial teacher, he does not want his disciples to be regarded as thieves by the people of the world.
He believes that he must have such a sense of responsibility and responsibility.
After entering the temple.
Emperor Hongzhi, the crown prince and the commander entered the hall. Emperor Hongzhi went to the Golden Palace and promoted his seat. Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao stood with a smile.
All the ministers saluted and shouted long live their lives.
Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the desk and said in a stern manner: "There is an accident in Dingxing County. Such a major event should not be underestimated. The court... must come up with a solution."
Sure enough, something happened in Dingxing County.
At this time, many people began to try it out, and this was the best time to abolish the new law.
"Your Majesty." Wang Ao took the initiative and actually went on duty: "Officials forced the people to rebel, and this has always been the case. The old ministers thought that if the people were not forced into a desperate situation by harsh policies, they would not be so bold. I think that the current plan should not be rashly suppressed, and should be pacified."
He took the lead in setting a tone for those "disrupted people". No matter what, it was because of the government's excessiveness. This responsibility should not be paid by the gentry and the people. Only in this way can all the spearheads be pointed at the initiator.
As soon as Wang Ao left work, many people were excited: "I commented on what the prince said so much. Why is the other counties peaceful and peaceful, but Dingxing County has caused trouble. Your Majesty must not send troops to suppress them, so as not to expand the situation. It is necessary to lower the emperor's grace and satisfy the wishes of the gentry and the people. In this way... the disaster will be eliminated."
"This is the saying of the king and the king. Your Majesty... the gentry and the people... suffer. Over the years, the frequent natural disasters have been caused. The people's livelihood has declined. Why did the gentry and the people have turned around? It's nothing more than natural disasters and the ranks. I beg your Majesty to be magnanimous..."
"Your Majesty...Old Minister..."
Everyone was talking, and many people stood up excitedly.
Everyone says your words and I say it, it’s very lively.
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
The words of all the people really win my heart.
What they thought was rare, and it coincided with me!
