Chapter 466 Their favors are worthless!
After Zhu Yunxi sent out a thousand jet fighters, the square suddenly became chaotic.
Not only the impassioned students ran wildly, but even the officials on both sides hated their lack of legs.
Chen Zongli and Qin Kui ran while talking, until they reached the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs before taking a breather.
"Who made this bad move to the emperor's grandson, it's really dirty!"
"Chen Shangshu, you underestimate the grandson of the emperor too much. If you use someone else to do this kind of hurtful move for him, he can think of ten with just a blink of an eye!"
"But that's good too, it finally broke some people's treachery!"
"Otherwise, no matter what His Majesty does, today will definitely not be good!"
"Once His Majesty starts killing, he will give some people facts..."
Han Qing, who was among the common people, was someone Qin Kui talked about. He originally planned to watch a good show today.As long as Lao Zhu dared to kill someone, he would dare to make a big deal out of it, and finally incite scholars all over the world to rebel against Ming Dynasty.
However, even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that Zhu Yunxie had such a dirty hand, that he even got hundreds of dung trucks to spray dung water!
Who the hell can stop this!
Even though he ran half a mile, he still felt the stench in the air!
When everyone was running away, wishing to leave Hongwumen, a dirty place, one person did the opposite.
"Your Majesty, you are..."
Kong Na originally wanted to accept the crime in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but he couldn't sit still when he heard the noise coming from the direction of Hongwumen.
However, as soon as he got near the city gate, he saw Lao Zhu get down in a panic under Zhu Yunxie's support.
Seeing Lao Zhu's disgusted expression, Kong Na thought that there was already a river of blood flowing outside the Hongwu Gate.
"It seems that the old man is still late, His Majesty has finally attacked these poor students, woo woo woo..."
As soon as Kong Na finished speaking, he saw his grandson running over.
"grandfather!"
"Your Majesty didn't order the killing, it was the grandson of the emperor... oh..."
"An order from the emperor's grandson?"
When Kong Na heard this, he looked at Lao Zhu with even more resentful eyes, and angrily took his walking stick to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has to offend you, how can you let the emperor's grandson get the infamy of killing scholars!"
"The emperor's grandson is a good boy, and he is the hope of Ming Dynasty in the future. You shouldn't let the emperor's grandson issue such orders!"
Seeing that Kong Na thought him so irresponsible, Lao Zhu immediately expressed his anger.
"We don't!"
"We... vomit..."
"Idiot Kong, you'll know when you go up and see for yourself!"
"We didn't kill any of us!"
"Our eldest grandson didn't kill him either!"
"vomit……"
When Kong Na heard Lao Zhu's words, his face was filled with unbelievable surprise.
"Didn't kill?"
"Your Majesty, you really didn't kill someone?"
Lao Zhu kicked Dasun angrily, and then said angrily.
"We wanted to kill, but we were stopped by this Ni Sun..."
Kong Na received Lao Zhu's sure answer, and immediately climbed up the city wall excitedly, and looked down.
Below the huge city wall, hundreds of carriages were driving through the crowd, spraying foul-smelling water jets towards the crowd from time to time.All the people who were sprayed covered their mouths with their sleeves in disgust, and then ran out of the crowd desperately.
Seeing this scene, Kong Na not only didn't feel the stench, but leaned on the city wall to watch it with great interest.
"This grandson of the emperor, thankfully he can figure it out, hahaha!"
Kong Yanjin endured his discomfort and climbed up the city wall to look for Kong Na. Seeing that his grandfather was still laughing with his mouth wide open, he couldn't help persuading him immediately.
"Grandfather, it's better to cover your face, lest you get sick..."
Kong Na laughed even louder when he heard this, and even had tears in his eyes.
"Originally, the old man thought that today's killing was inevitable, and the old man even risked his life to persuade His Majesty to stop him and give the world's scholars and families a chance..."
"However, the old man never expected that the old man's plan would be inferior to hundreds of water trucks, hahaha..."
"Emperor Taisun Renyi!"
"Kong Yanjin, you must loyally assist the emperor's grandson from now on, and you must not be suspicious of the emperor's grandson because of family interests!"
Kong Yanjin immediately bowed to accept the order when he heard the words, but another doubt emerged in his mind.
"Grandfather, since you appreciate the emperor's grandson so much, why do you want to fight against the emperor's grandson?"
Kong Na stared blankly at his silly grandson when he heard the words.
"Right?"
"When did grandpa ever fight against the grandson of the emperor?"
"Grandfather, haven't you always opposed him to tax the world's officials and gentry?"
When Kong Na heard this, he laughed and touched his stupid grandson.
"Silly grandson, grandpa is already at this age, how many meals can he eat, what does it matter to me whether to collect taxes or not?"
"It's just that things in the world are so simple?"
"Aristocratic families have a lot of ways to avoid taxes. Those who tried to collect taxes from the aristocratic families in the past dynasties ended up making the people more miserable..."
"Grandpa is worried that the emperor's grandson is too hasty to do things and will cause chaos in the world."
"As for the property of the clan, the old man has long ordered your father to distribute the property of the clan to the clan members, and the remaining part has also been changed to sacrificial land for the sacrificial use of the clan."
"Jie Tian?"
Kong Yanjin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Right!
Aristocratic families can also change their land property into sacrificial land for tax exemption!
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, even His Majesty the Emperor would not criticize the aristocratic family for this move.
No, I have to tell the emperor grandson quickly, and ask the emperor grandson to quickly fill this loophole!
Kong Na seemed to see Dasun's mind, and said to himself.
"Sacrificing land to avoid tax is just one of them. There is also the method of donating all the family property to temples and Taoist temples to avoid taxes. There is also the method of pawning the family property."
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, taxes cannot be levied during the delivery of the land..."
"In short, there are many ways for aristocratic families to avoid taxes. In the end, the court's taxes still have to fall on the common people..."
When Kong Yanjin heard this, he understood that his grandfather was teaching him the way of economics.
"Grandfather, you said these things to your grandson, but you want to use your grandson to tell His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun to make up for it?"
Kong Na shook his head with a smile.
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with our grandfather..."
"One generation manages the affairs of another generation, and your affairs are your own decisions!"
"Make your own decisions?"
Kong Yanjin looked at his grandfather even more confused. He didn't understand why his grandfather said that, why did he do this?
Could it be the big family's way of self-protection?
For the first time, Kong Yanjin felt that there was a gap in thinking between himself and his grandfather, and it was a world of difference.
When Kong Na was standing on the wall of Hongwumen to watch the scenery, a group of people were also standing on the wall of the outer city of the capital.
These people are all the heads of the great families in the south of the Yangtze River, even Yang Xinlu, Qin Hengbo and others were present.
It's just that Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo kept a considerable distance from the others. Obviously, the two of them had been expelled from the Jiangnan household registration by the Jiangnan aristocratic family.
Yang Xinlu looked at the noisy square in front of Hongwu Gate, and smiled wryly at Qin Hengbo who was beside him.
"Emperor Taisun's trick is too dirty. We have taught him so long, and he came up with such a dirty trick?"
Qin Hengbo was quite satisfied with Zhu Yunxi's tricks, and felt that they were clever but simple.
"Brother Yang, don't you think this is the best way?"
"Otherwise, if those students continue to make trouble, the old emperor will definitely start killing, and a catastrophe will be inevitable..."
Yang Xinlu nodded heavily upon hearing the words.
"Yes!"
"Although this method is dirty, it is the only way to break the situation right now. Otherwise, if His Majesty and the scholars are at loggerheads, there will inevitably be some bloody killings."
"At that time, the government and the public will be in turmoil, and the people will be in dire straits. You and I will both be sinners!"
While the two were chatting, Gao Ming, who had climbed the city wall, saw the two of them, and also ran over bumpily.
"Well, let's teach a good student, hahaha..."
When the two heard Gao Ming's voice, they all moved to the side to draw a clear line with this person.
"What about us? It's clear that Brother Qin and I have nothing to do with you, old man Gao!"
Seeing that the two were still angry with him, Gao Ming said impatiently.
"Come on!"
"Everyone is buried up to their necks, and they still think about the money all day long, isn't it shameful?"
"That money?"
Yang Xinlu was furious on the spot when he heard this.
"Do you know how many properties and farms my Yang family has in Songjiang Mansion?"
"According to the emperor's grandson's new tax law, how much tax does my Yang family have to pay every year?"
"Furthermore, it's not about money at all!"
"If it's just my family paying more money, the old man wouldn't be so superficial, because he can't get along with the emperor's grandson because of some financial matters."
"Really, this matter is very involved. How many families and gentry in the world are involved?"
"If they harbor resentment, how can Daming be at peace?"
"You must know that ruling the world depends on these people!"
Gao Ming didn't argue this time, not only listened carefully to Yang Xinlu's words, but also thought about it very seriously.
"Old Yang, you are from a rich family. Tell me, what methods do rich families usually use to evade taxes?"
When Yang Xinlu heard this, his eyes fell out of surprise.
"Old Gao, are you stupid? You know that I am from a noble family, but you still ask me this question?"
Gao Ming waved his hands impatiently.
"You are different from them, the old man can trust you!"
When Yang Xinlu saw Gao Ming say this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he arched his hands towards Gao Ming.
"Thank you for your trust!"
"Generally speaking, aristocratic families are nothing more than hiding their population and land to avoid taxes."
"In the past dynasties, the measurement of the field was only on the ground. As long as the people who measure the field are arranged, it is easy to hide the property..."
"Now that the emperor's grandson has made a flying ball and can see it directly from the sky, it is difficult for the aristocratic family to hide the land. However, they can bribe the subordinates and underreport the amount of their own land, so that the common people will have more land. bear……"
"There are also methods such as family land and sacrificial land that can reasonably and legally avoid taxes. The country governs the world with filial piety. As long as the family property is transferred to the clan, or to the sacrificial land, it is exclusively used by the clan to pay homage to the ancestors, even the emperor can't do anything about it." .”
"In addition, aristocratic families have family temples or family temples..."
"pawnshop……"
Yang Xinlu said one, Gao Ming remembered one, and after remembering more than a dozen, Gao Ming couldn't help complaining.
"Your aristocratic family has so many tricks..."
Yang Xinlu blushed in embarrassment, and said with some displeasure.
"Whether you remember or not, I won't tell you if you don't..."
"Ji Ji Ji, hurry up and say, I have to go back to discuss with the emperor grandson how to pluck hair from your aristocratic family!"
Yang Xinlu shook his head disdainfully upon hearing this.
"Disaster!"
"I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to pluck your hair, but you will end up causing even bigger troubles!"
"But now that the emperor's grandson is on the rise, the old man won't give much advice, you just watch and make trouble!"
Late at night, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Gao Ming's method of tax avoidance for aristocratic families, and felt that his whole head was about to grow bigger.
"There are so many tricks?"
Gao Ming was also emotional when he heard the words.
"Who said it wasn't? When the old man listened to Yang Xinlu during the day, he was covered in cold sweat."
"Your Highness, we think too simply about the reform!"
"yes……"
"I thought it would be easy..."
While Zhu Yunxi was leaning on his head in a daze, a young eunuch hurried over, handed Zhu Yunxi a letterhead, and left without saying a word.
Gao Ming looked around curiously when he saw this, but Zhu Yunxi didn't even look at it, he put the letter under the candlestick and burned it.
"Your Highness, why don't you even take a look?"
"If it's as expected by the teacher, this letter should be made by a woman, right?"
"It's not about nagging for the teacher. Your Highness is already full of filial piety. It's time to think about the marriage."
"Bird an heir for the royal family as soon as possible, so that His Majesty the Emperor can feel at ease as soon as possible, and entrust the important affairs of the country to you..."
Zhu Yunxi listened to Gao Ming's nagging, but turned around and shouted at a figure in the shadows.
"Batu, don't send letters for someone in the future. When you see someone in the future, tell someone that Gu has never read her letter paper!"
"promise!"
Gao Ming heard the conversation between the two, and immediately felt that something was wrong.Because Batu is not a Ming person whose name is taboo, at first glance he is from Mengyuan.
"Your Highness, could this letter be..."
Gao Ming dipped some tea soup in the teacup with his hand, wrote the word "Hou" on the table, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi with burning eyes. Seeing Zhu Yunxi nodding towards him, his face immediately showed horror.
"Your Highness, please proceed with caution!"
"Although His Majesty is extremely fond of you, once this matter is involved, there is no family affection at all."
Zhu Yunxi nodded helplessly when he heard the words.
"I know what to do!"
"Gu has already ordered people to build a palace in another place outside the city, and move out after the main building is completed."
Upon hearing this, Gao Ming immediately got up and bowed to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Your Highness, this move is very appropriate!"
"By the way, the students made trouble today, which delayed the major event of starting the examination. Your Highness should think of a way for His Majesty, how to restart the examination, and select talents for Ming..."
"If this is done, all scholars in the world will owe His Highness a favor..."
Zhu Yunxi smiled disdainfully upon hearing this.
"Humanity?"
"Their favors are worthless!"
"But at this time I have already ordered Erhu to do it, so it must be almost done by now?"
"Two Tigers?"
When Gao Ming thought of the stupid things that Erhu had done, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Your Highness, will it be counterproductive to leave this matter to Erhu?"
"At this time, His Highness should appease the scholars, let them feel His Highness's kindness, and then go to the exam happily."
"You send Erhu, the God of Killing, to handle this matter. Once you have conflicts with the scholars, won't it damage your Highness's name of benevolence and righteousness?"
"Mr. Gao, what good reputation do you think Gu can have now?"
"Gudu ordered people to pour dung on them. It's good that they don't hate Gu to death now. Can they still appreciate Gu's benevolence and righteousness?"
"Gu only worries about one thing now, and that is that Uncle Hu is too gentle to scare those scholars!"
