Chapter 302 I want to run away with money, but there is no way.

"Your Majesty, is this too general?"

A minister said softly that he was also a father and could not bear to let his son suffer in the army.

“What is a generalization?”

Zhu Houzhao angrily said: "Can we only recruit children from common people's families when recruiting soldiers?"

"I know what you are thinking. It is natural for a person to love his son so much, but loving his son does not mean being a spoiled child."

"Don't you think that spoiling a child is like killing a child? You let your children and grandchildren live freely and happily, and sooner or later they will cause trouble. You have followed me all the way. You should know my temper. If your children and grandchildren commit crimes, I will never do it.

I won’t tolerate it.”

He softened his tone and continued: "Instead of staying outside doing nothing all day, it is better to go to the army and get some experience. You will make some progress after all."

"You can protect your children and grandchildren for a while, how can you protect them for the rest of their lives?"

"The military is indeed hard, but it is also the most training place. If you go to the military to gain experience, you can become the pillar of the country in the future."

The ministers were speechless, Zhu Houzhao had to say both good and bad things, what else could they do.

A large number of wealthy businessmen are about to move away, shouldn't they be retained? After all, the wealthy businessmen who are about to flee hold a large amount of resources and wealth in their hands, and how many people depend on them for their livelihood.

"I want to run away as soon as I make money, how can it be so cheap!"

It would be too drastic to confiscate other people's wealth if they disagree.

The words of Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, highlight one core point: fear of the children of officials and gentry, and the descendants of nobles who will not obey discipline.

"I believe that what your Majesty said is absolutely true. Since it is the wealth of our dynasty, how can we allow it to flow out?"

Wang Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, said angrily.

"Your Majesty has great ambitions, and I am willing to follow you."

Anyway, it is about doing business to make money. Making money in Zhu Houzhao's Taiwu Dynasty is no different from making money in other dynasties.

It is the wish of every minister to be famous throughout the ages and leave his name in the history books.

Yang Tinghe asked.

"The military service of young men across the country is an unprecedented and generous act. His Majesty's ambition is truly admired by the veterans."

People can leave, but wealth must stay!

It was rare for the ministers to agree with Zhu Houzhao, and they all had no favorable impressions of the wealthy businessmen who were preparing to run away.

After all, after many years of business operation in this dynasty, the connections, resource channels, and trading routes are all perfect. If you give up rashly, you still don’t know what kind of losses you will suffer. With the cunning and cunning of those wealthy businessmen, you will not let yourself suffer.

The ministers were speechless. The emperor started talking nonsense and kept talking nonsense.

The ministers worshiped him. The emperor had the ambition of Kunpeng and had the heart to control the situation. As ministers, there was no reason for them to object.

"I am not targeting anyone intentionally by allowing young men to enter the military for training, but I hope that our younger generation can take on important responsibilities."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said solemnly.

Since Zhu Houzhao's reforms and heavy taxes on merchants, many wealthy merchants have long been very dissatisfied. However, Zhu Houzhao has always sent people to keep an eye on them and they do not dare to go against the court.

Zhu Houzhao was extremely determined. Since he proposed that all young men across the country must serve in the military, he would not make changes easily.

Nowadays, the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is in the same era. Not only do other dynasties not impose heavy taxes on merchants, but tax evasion is even easier, so they all want to go to other dynasties.

"If one day our kings and ministers pass away, the younger generation of our dynasty will be able to maintain the glory of our dynasty."

Everyone hopes that their children will become successful, but from the height of the ministers, they are more or less doting on their children.

"Strengthening a country and strengthening its species does not depend on us, the monarchs and ministers, but on all the people in the country and on the young people who are in the growing stage."

"You can move to another dynasty, but the wealth earned in our dynasty must be left behind."

The ministers had no objection to this.

Nowadays, most of the treasury revenue comes from commercial taxes. When the merchants run away, who does the Ministry of Household Affairs go to collect taxes? What should the emperor do when he needs money?

Moreover, the income of the treasury is also related to the salaries of ministers, and no one wants to go back to the hard days of the past.

Zhu Houzhao said with a cold expression.

"Your Majesty, at what age should young men serve in the military?"

Zhu Houzhao looked indifferent and didn't care at all: "Since you don't want to be a subject of my court, there is no reason to take the wealth of my court."

"Everyone, times have changed, and the situation is changing all the time. If our country wants to protect itself in the turbulent currents, it can only continue to strengthen itself."

And they can be sure and certain that those wealthy merchants will not give up their business in this dynasty after moving to other dynasties.

He suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, with great ambition in his heart, and confided to the ministers: "A strong young man will make a country strong, and a young man's wisdom will make a country wise."

Eighteen to twenty-two is just right.

It was unbearable not only for Zhu Houzhao but also for the ministers to earn the money and wealth of his own dynasty in front of the subjects of other dynasties.

"Over eighteen years old, under twenty-two years old!"

"Your Majesty, in recent days, many wealthy businessmen have requested to move to other dynasties. There are a large number of them. How to deal with them? Your Majesty will decide."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were cold. Why did those wealthy businessmen move to his dynasty? He knew the reason better than anyone.

"I second the proposal!"

All the ministers shouted in unison, just one attitude: people can leave, but the money must stay.

Businessmen are profit-seeking and have no country or home. They regard money as their lifeblood. To take their money is to take their lives.

However, they were also very happy in their hearts. Those wealthy businessmen had made a lot of wealth in this dynasty, and they also wanted to move to other dynasties to transfer their wealth. It was simply not a good idea.

Zuo Liangchen was confused.

"Since you have entered the army, you are a new recruit, and you should treat them equally. If anyone disobeys discipline, you will be dealt with according to military law."

Bullshit, the laws of nature!

"It may not be realistic to just ask all young people to serve in the military. There are many lawless people among the descendants of officials and gentry."

"What's wrong?"

"Then it's settled. All wealthy merchants who want to move to other dynasties will be approved. For the sake of being former subjects of our dynasty, we can even send ships to the place where they want to move."

Zuo Liangchen, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came forward to say.

Those who are too young are not suitable. What can child soldiers do? Even those who are too old cannot do it. His main purpose in expanding the army this time is to train the younger generation. The older ones have no value in training.

You want to run away as soon as you make money. Nothing is so cheap. Don't even think about it.

He couldn't bear to spend the money he made on his land elsewhere.

"Come naked and go naked, only then can you comply with the natural principles of heaven and earth."

Let your heirs join the army and serve in the army, and it will pass with patience. If you don't go through polishing, how can you become a useful person?

I want to run away with the money, but there is no way.

"However, all wealth must be left behind, not even a copper plate can be left out."

Zhu Houzhao's words were full of ruthlessness and determination. The merchants were restless and playing tricks on him, so he would let the merchants understand what the wrath of thunder is and what the power of God is inviolable.

Singing against him on his own land, when he has quieted down in the past few years, he won't kill people anymore, right?

The fourth update will be resumed today, and I hope book friends can support me more.
