Putting down the memorial, Zhu Cilang nodded sincerely, then looked at Huang Zongxi, with a better expression.

"Huang Zongxi."

The emperor suddenly called him, and Huang Zongxi immediately responded: "I am here."

Zhu Cilang showed an admiration and said, "You have analyzed it thoroughly, have a good idea, and dare to say it, it's good!"

Huang Zongxi, who was originally nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "The Holy One Never Better Than Your Majesty!"

Yang Tinglin and other officials in the cabinet also showed admiration, calling me the wise and wise.

As the emperor, he dared to abolish the eunuch system and imperial grain and national taxation. These two old rules that lasted for more than two thousand years are undoubtedly of great courage and grand plan!

Zhu Cixuan walked down from the imperial throne and walked around: "The agricultural tax can be abolished, and the Ministry of Finance can list specific implementation plans?"

After the agricultural tax is abolished, the people will not pay public grain. What should we do with granaries in various places? How to maintain the supply of military grain, these issues need to be considered and solved.

Huang Zongxi also came prepared and said, "Report to Your Majesty, my suggestion is that the court set up a separate department for reserved grain, and purchase grain from various places during the bumper harvest every year, stockpile and store grain, and deal with major natural disasters and other emergencies."

"Isn't this the central reserve grain?" Zhu Cilang raised his eyebrows.

Huang Zongxi said: "Your Majesty, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, you set up a grain store in Fengyang to use it to deal with famines and stabilize the grain market. I thought of this on the basis of the grain store..."

Speaking of grain stores, these are industries under the Royal Group. Huang Zongxi mentioned this at this time, obviously reminding Zhu Cilang that he should contribute those chain grain stores in the Royal Family...

Zhu Cilang smiled and ignored him.

Just kidding, Royal Group's chain grain store is currently the largest grain merchant in Asia. It has a complete management system. How can you just take it out?

Moreover, the Royal Group is secretly carrying out a mission with a grain store: food war!

This is an economic war against Japan, blocking their food prices, aiming to control Japan's food market, make the various Japanese vassal lords Daming lose faster in the civil war, and rely more on the support of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is now strong and has the strength to rely on a more high-end trade war method to defeat others without fighting, defeat the opponent, and achieve strategic goals.

Now a messy little Japanese country has a weak domestic economy and is no match for the Ming Dynasty at all. Zhu Cilang just practices with them. (The next volume of the Japanese plot)

Zhu Cixuan said solemnly: "Storage of grain is an important strategic material related to the economic security of the Ming Dynasty. How can civilian grain stores be replaced? The court must directly grasp it, re-arrange and establish a large-scale reserve granary warehouse!"

Next, Zhu Cilang copied the later generations of China National Grain Reserves and Reserves, and asked the Ministry of Finance to establish a grain reserve company with branches in various provinces under its jurisdiction, responsible for purchasing grain storage every year and ensuring the quantity of grain reserves.

The Ministry of Finance also needs to formulate a rotation plan, such as changing grains in three years, and exporting old grains to ensure the quality and safety of reserved grains and stabilizing market grain prices.

Zhu Cixuan specifically demanded that the management of the imperial grain reserves must be strictly controlled and responsibilities must be strictly enforced to ensure that the imperial grain reserves can be stored in, managed well, adjusted and used.

The most important thing is that the imperial court's reserved grain cannot be used at will unless the food supply in the country or some areas is obviously in short supply, or market prices fluctuate abnormally, and major natural disasters and emergencies occur.

Without the consent of the emperor and the cabinet, no government office or individual shall use the imperial grain reserves without the permission!

Zhu Cixuan criticized Huang Zongxi's memorial and said, "I'm here to say this. For the specific plan, the cabinet will go back and discuss a detailed strategy and hand it over to the Ministry of Finance to handle it with the assistance of the Ministry of Revenue."

Yang Tinglin and Huang Zongxi and other ministers replied loudly at almost the same time: "I obey the order!"

The issuance of this decree marks the formal abolishment of the agricultural tax that China has imposed for more than two thousand years. It is a move that can be created and will surely be recorded in history. As a cabinet minister at this time, how can we not be excited?

Praising the good saint is a good show for civil officials. In this situation, Huang Zongxi and Mao Xiang, who were born in Jiangnan, naturally have no shortage of praise, and praised Zhu Cilang for his praise.

However, Zhu Cilang was not blinded by their praise. He knocked on the Dragon Case and said something some people present did not want to hear: "Another one, landlords with more than 200 mu of land still need to pay public grain, one per mu of 30, and one per mu of 500 mu of land, one per mu of 20."

The biggest beneficiary of the cancellation of agricultural tax is actually the landlord class. Huang Zongxi was once the spokesperson for Jiangnan landlords and had some thoughts.

Not only him, but most of the cabinet ministers came from professional families and were also considered to be the landlord class.

As long as they are individuals, there are no unselfish people. Zhu Cilang can understand them. As long as they can put in 70% or 80% of their minds for the country and the people, he will be content.

Zhu Cixuan's move was not aimed at the cabinet ministers, but was forcing the landlord class to transform and do business.

The problem of land annexation is an incurable chronic disease of centralization in feudal society. When big landlords have money, they like to buy land as fixed assets.

Now the Ming Dynasty emphasizes business and relies on commercial development to drive the national economy. How can we allow rich people to rely on the land? We must set up factories!

Seeing the cabinet ministers confused, Zhu Cilang said: "The court will formulate preferential policies and support landlords to invest in factories."

Although the policy of placing acres of people into a mu is a great charity, it has unloaded heavy shackles for the poor, eradicated the money trees of many officials, and hit the landlords' wealth.

However, from the general trend of social development, digging into a mu actually strengthened the feudal land ownership. Historically, the Qing Dynasty was nominally implemented in various provinces, but it was not implemented seriously and lastingly.

In history, the "Imperial Grain and National Taxation" has always affected the rise and fall of China. Although there have been reforms such as the "Two Tax Law", the "One Whip Law", and the "Spreading of Mines to Acres" in Chinese history to expand the scope of tax payment and allow people with real estate and wealth to pay more taxes, due to the corruption of the administration, the burden was eventually transferred to the farmers.

Even the "Wenjing Governance" and "Zhenguan Governance" that have been repeatedly mentioned are just short-term light taxes and levies. Feudal rulers of all dynasties have never been able to break out of the "Huang Zongxi Law" that the burden on farmers is getting heavier and heavier.

"Those who do not use human rights will be like beasts; those who do not use human rights will be punished by heaven!"

Zhu Cilang was inspired by his feelings. What he wanted to do in the future was to constantly defeat.

The definition of feudal society is not that there is an emperor, it is a feudal society. Zhu Cilang is not so stupid as to revolutionize his own life.

According to the definition of Marxist historians, feudal society refers to the social form of landlords or lords, occupying land and exploiting peasants or serfs.

The natural economy formed by feudal society is an economic structure organization based on land, combined with agriculture and handicrafts, and family as production units. It has self-enclosure and independence, and mainly meets its own needs.

The Ming Dynasty is now undergoing a commercial revolution and no longer relies on the natural economy. After the Tianwu New Policy, the national ideology has also been greatly changed, and the open and prosperous overseas trade has continued to accumulate capital.

At this stage, Europe is also in the stage of disintegration of feudal society and the rise of capitalism.

Feudal society also has another characteristic: the landlord class is the ruling class, and the contradiction between the landlord class and the peasant class is the main contradiction in feudal society.

What Zhu Cilang needs to do now is to eliminate the landlord class and transform them into capitalists.

Of course, the largest landlord in the country is the emperor Zhu Ciyang. He established the Royal Group with the goal of transforming the first, and to bring royal family members to the Royal Group, which also allows them to transform together.

Now, it is the turn of the small landlords across the country to transform.

The eunuch system is also a landmark cancer in feudal society, so Zhu Cilang abolished it without saying a word.

Of course, there is a subtle conflict between imperial autocracy and capital. Since we cannot wait to be revolutionized by the tide of the times, Zhu Cilang can only take the initiative to innovate from top to bottom.

As a time traveler, he could not go against the tide of the times in order to maintain his autocratic rule, and put the 100 million people of the Ming Dynasty into a tragic historical cycle.
