"It is a national policy for officials and gentry to pay food together and serve as a servant, and it is beneficial for the future. However, the government cannot only actively make a fuss about land taxes, but it is slow to slow down on the reform of commercial taxes! The pilot of increasing the reform of commercial tax cannot be delayed. At present, we must actively make suggestions."

Yuan Keli was also gathering with ministers like Han and Bi Ziyan, and Bi Ziyan mentioned the pilot program of increasing commercial tax reform at this time.

"Yes, we cannot only harm our civil gentry. His business gentry is not only unscathed, but also favored by the emperor. He has won the reputation of planning the country and renovating and eliminating evil."

Yuan Keli mentioned this matter because Bi Ziyan mentioned it and replied.

"Although it is a pilot, it's not that easy. The commercial tax has not been levied for a long time. The main reason is that His Majesty is wise. Knowing that this matter is not urgent, now it will make a rash statement that will anger Your Majesty. It will give the Party a chance to take advantage of it. It is better to make a long-term plan and be impatient in everything."

Since Han Yu fell into the water, he began to realize that Emperor Tianqi not only did not allow ministers who opposed him, but also mediocre ministers who only knew how to live a life.

Therefore, he was still in love with power and position and had to start taking charge of his position. However, because he was also from a civilian gentry class, his family was a big landlord in Shanxi, and he was not in the process of dealing with Fang Congzhe, so he is now closer to Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan.

Han Yu spent a long time in the court, and he had a lot of experience than Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan, so he began to advise Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan not to be impatient.

Because, Han Yu clearly remembered that the reason why the Donglin Party had such a tragic ending back then was that it was that it was too impatient and wanted to immediately give Fang Congzhe'an a charge of regicide, clean up all those who were not the Donglin Party, completely ignoring that the real master of the Ming Dynasty was the emperor, and even directly regarded the emperor as an enemy, which was also brutal blow.

Therefore, Han Yu advised Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan in this way. He hoped that those ministers who were not in the face of the Party should also learn to keep a low profile and learn to follow the trend.

"What the Master of the Pavilion said is right. Sun Tzu said: Water has no constant power, soldiers have no constant shape, people have no normal state, things have no regular rules; things are difficult to predict in this world; for example, Fang Party and others were eager to consolidate the foundation of the country, wanted to establish the crown prince and stabilize their power, just like the gentlemen of Donglin back then, after the Zhangjiangling party lost power, they could not wait to eliminate dissidents, weaken the power of the cabinet, and strengthen the power of the censors' Ministry of Personnel. As a result, Your Majesty was wise and understood the meaning of this, and those who said that private crown prince would be executed immediately! Now, I believe that the people of Fang Party were also very disappointed, right?"

Yuan Keli laughed.

He has been leading troops all year round and is familiar with military books, so after Han Du mentioned it now, he quickly realized it, instead of having to go through several major turmoils and twists and turns like Han Du, who only worked in the Hanlin City and the Ministry of Rites, who had to go through several major turmoils and twists and turns to understand it.

"Then wait, wait until the Saint Fantasy wants to collect the Merchant Tax."

Bi Ziyan replied.

...

"I always want to collect commercial taxes, but Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan are very powerful in leading troops to fight, and their strategies and tactics are the best in the world. The other is a good player in managing finances and politicians, but they are not in a good way. They just want to use reform to deal with Fang Congzhe and business gentry. Why can't they jump out? See if there is anyone in this world who needs to deal with Fang Congzhe. If you only need to deal with Fang Congzhe, you only need an imperial edict. It's not that simple to deal with some external forces."

After Zhu Youxiao learned about the remarks among these court officials through the East Factory, he complained in his heart.

In the eyes of the emperor Zhu Youxiao, Fang Congzhe was indeed not a threat.

He also used Fang Congzhe as the chief assistant, and he didn't want to change people easily. After all, he had to admit that Fang Congzhe was indeed good at understanding the will and implementing policies.

However, from the perspective of Yuan Keli and others, if Fang Congzhe was not overthrown, they would never go further in the pyramid of power, nor have greater voice in reform, and naturally they would not be able to protect their own interests, nor have they fully capable of depriving others of their interests.

Fang Congzhe will indeed be hated after staying in this prime minister for a long time.

This is where the emperor and ministers have different ideas.

The emperor does not want to change the chief minister.

But the ministers always want to change the chief minister and then divide the cake again.

However, as Han Du said, the world has been changing.

The longer Fang Congzhe became the chief minister, the more his followers, the more quality he had, the more good and bad he had. It was okay for sober officials, but those who were not sober would only think that Fang Congzhe would not fall, and he could rely entirely on the power of the Fang Party to be lawless.

Taiwan's prefect Yi Tingjian changed the plan to immigrate Zhu Youxiao to develop Taiwan because he was a member of the Party.

Although the Han people arranged to Taiwan were all criminals or refugees, Zhu Youxiao mainly took this opportunity to let them reproduce in Taiwan, assimilate local indigenous people, and make Taiwan more mainland.

But Yi Tingjian did not have this understanding, nor did he regard these Han people as the national consciousness of his compatriots, but regarded these Han people as property that he could dispose of at will and could fill his personal pockets.

Yi Tingjian sold these Han people directly to the Folang Ji people or the reactionary gentry who were exiled overseas at a certain price.

The Folang Ji people enslaved these Han people in their colonies and forced them to work for themselves.

"Hurry up! Get on the boat!"

In Jilong Port, the Han people who were moved were being driven onto the Bolang boat in batches. If they were a little slower, they would be beaten directly.

However, although this group of Han people were on the Bolangji ship, it was not the people from the Bolangji who bought them, but the Han people hired by the reactionary gentry to buy them.

After all, reactionary gentry needs enough people to strengthen their power overseas.

Yi Tingjian therefore made a lot of money from the hands of the reactionary gentry at this time.

"Yifutai, this is the gold bar for buying people, you call it."

Ye Chuchun is now responsible for representing the reactionary gentry forces to contact Yi Tingjian.

However, Yi Tingjian didn't know that Ye Chuchun was from the East Factory and the reactionary gentry. He only thought that Ye Chuchun was an ordinary businessman. He smiled and took the gold bar and asked, "Mr. Ye, don't you want it?"

"land?"

Ye Chuchun asked in surprise.

"That's right! Except for the land occupied by Folangji and the land where there are indigenous settlements, the rest can be sold now!"

Yi Tingjian said.

He had no choice now. All the Han people moved were sold to all forces as slaves, and the court asked him to report his cultivation results and tax status after the cultivation on time. In order to explain to the court and meet the test, he had to make some money by selling land, and then hand over the money in the name of newly collected taxes to prove that he did indeed reclaim wasteland in Taiwan.

Ye Chuchun agreed and really bought a lot of land from Yi Tingjian.

However, what Yi Tingjian didn't know was that his actions had begun to be passed on to Beijing by the East Factory through various means, and then to Zhu Youxiao's ears.
