Guo Dan understands!

Reform is imperative.

Although the fat man is extremely ugly when he speaks, and his eating habits are unprecedented, there is something more important than money, which is the will of the fat man, which is unquestionable.

Since he ascended the throne, he was firmly controlled by Zhang Juzheng in the first ten years, but in the past ten years, he was physically and mentally exhausted by the bureaucratic group and almost went on strike.

Fortunately, Guo Dan appeared in time and gave him a shot of stimulant.

But no matter what, his will has never been valued and recognized by others, and there is no way to talk about execution.

Guo Dan's previous words of comfort and tax bills reminded him of the bitter years when he tried to sharpen his mouth with the old fox Xu Mengchun for 20,000 taels, which undoubtedly completely ignited the anger in his heart.

Their money is theirs, the people's money is theirs, but my money belongs to the country, and the country's money belongs to them.

Wanli, who sees everything clearly, will never tolerate this situation continuing.

The people’s money belongs to the state, and their money should also belong to the state, and the country’s money should belong to me.

This is the king's land under the world, and the king's ministers are the king's ministers.

This is why the fat man directly proposed tax reform without notifying anyone in advance.

Because he wants to lead a reform based on his will, no one can question it.

Simply put, it is to go to TM Zhang Juzheng!

I have the final say!

Therefore, the core of this is still the imperial power, and money is only reflected in the imperial power.

Guo Dan, who returned to Yinuoyaxing, asked Aunt Xu with a frustration: "Can the layman buy a horse?"

Aunt Xu was confused when asked, and just shook her head.

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Did the layman really give up a path to make money?"

"How do you say this?"

"Because the layman's ideas can always be realized, although the layman just sat here and talked." Guo Dan rubbed his face, "It seems that this reform is inevitable!"

For him, the fat man is his core interest.

Facing the corrupt Ming Dynasty, the greedy powerful people, the blessed scholars of faith, and the complicated bureaucratic group, he, as a businessman, seemed extremely lonely and could not compete with them. Only the fat man cherished him, because the fat man was also lonely. Without the protection of the fat man, he would be cut into pieces.

Of course, he hoped that the fat man would defeat the entire bureaucratic group, but he thought that it was not the time and that there was not enough strength to compete with them, and a bigger storm was needed.

But unfortunately he made a mess.

He must start to help the fat man formulate a reform plan.

However, the roar of the fat man did not make the situation in North Korea clear, but instead became more confusing.

This matter was very clear at the beginning.

It is the ministers who hope to be able to balance Guo Dan with the fat man by investing in the court, so they can no longer let Guo Dan continue to develop like this. If they are not controlled by the court, it would be terrible.

This is a consensus.

However, after the fat man's series of micro-work, and the ministers with their own thoughts, the matter gradually got out of control and headed on a completely unpredictable path.

In fact, the real responsibility is Wang Xijue, Cao Ke and others, because they are investing in the Grand Canyon, which is just a cover for them. Their purpose is to carry out reforms. They don’t know that the emperor also needs reforms, and they have to rely on their own will.

But no matter what the reason was before, now that the emperor has opened his mouth, no one dares to take this matter as a cover and continue to watch them perform.

This has to be involved.

Otherwise, they will eat them to the point where they don’t even have bones left.

The court immediately became fragmented.

The conservative censors led by Zhang Wenxi immediately found their immediate superior Chen Younian and told Chen Younian that you were deceived by Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others. They just wanted to use reform to increase the power of the cabinet and hope that Chen Younian would oppose reform.

But Chen Younian decisively rejected it.

Chen Younian said that this has nothing to do with the cabinet.

The negotiations failed, and the conservatives of the Censorate immediately drew a clear line with Chen Younian, Li Sancai and others.

This is their sect that they will rebel whenever they change.

Because their sect is mainly a cadet and abolition of officials, their demands are to open up the road of speech and eliminate the rule of officials.

It sounds very just. If you see it in the book, you will definitely think that they are all great wise ministers. In fact, it is not the case. It is of course the most beneficial for the censors to open up the channels of speech. To eliminate the administration of officials, this will undoubtedly enhance the power of the judiciary.

But if you want to carry out reforms, they will never agree to it. Whether you are for the country, the people, or for yourself, it will not work anyway.

This is because Zhang Juzheng has taught them a very profound lesson.

Judging from the situation in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, if we want to promote reform, we must be the dominant one. Otherwise, we will not have enough power to promote reform. But if anyone can become the dominant one, the first thing we have to deal with is their censors.

Because reform will inevitably harm many people, even some people, and behind this must be full of dirty transactions. No reform will be open and everyone can benefit.

That's bullshit!

The official's duty is to supervise these ministers, but if they censors want to scold them every day, how can they reform?

We must control public opinion, so the first thing is to suppress the censors.

For the powerful and interest groups, they certainly oppose reform, but they are not as firm as conservatives. They are all heading towards interests. Reform is OK, but it must be changed more favorably to them.

Shen Yiguan's sect is quite embarrassing. He has just entered the cabinet and has not yet gained a foothold. He wants to participate, so the room he can play is very limited.

But if you cannot participate, your own interests cannot be guaranteed.

He was the first to stand up to support Wanli's reforms.

Praise Wanli.

The purpose is very simple, which is to gain Wanli's reputation by flattery, increase his status in the cabinet, and even become the spokesperson for Wanli in the cabinet.

......

Pingjiang Bo Mansion.

The first generation of Pingjiang Bo Chen Xuan was also a founding hero, and his contribution to the management of waterways and waterways was truly unmatched.

It has been the eighth generation since its hereditary age.

No one can shake their Chen family's power in the canal transportation.

The canal transportation was really the most complex interest group in the Ming Dynasty, and basically everything was related to them.

"Mr.! This matter has become confusing now. Is Your Majesty trying to protect the Grand Canyon or really want to reform? But no one can say it correctly!" Mo Ruoyou, the head of the Ministry of Works, told Pingjiang Bo Chen Yinzhao.

Qin Sheng, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Justice, said: "No matter what Your Majesty thinks, the old fox Wang Xijue must want to take the opportunity to promote reform. He is Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone."

Chen Yinzhao smiled discontently and said, "He really treats himself as Zhang Juzheng, but he doesn't have the ability of Zhang Juzheng."

Mo Ruoyou sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't prepare in advance, so that they have won the support of many poor families now, such as Tang Wenxian and Yang Daobin, who also supported them. The momentum is huge, so we can't continue like this."

Chen Yinzhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty now requires reforms to the tax law. Can we oppose it? But how to change it is not up to him, Wang Xijue. They can use litigators to gain the support of scholars, and we can also use agricultural tax to win the support of the people in the world."

Mo Ruoyou said curiously: "Your Majesty wants to increase tax revenue, but if the agricultural tax is reduced, the tax revenue will inevitably be reduced."

"Isn't they talking about commercial tax this time?" Chen Yinzhao smiled and said, "Then we recommend increasing commercial tax to reduce the burden on farmers."

Qin Sheng pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "My uncle's move is really great!"

......

A memorial from the head of the Ministry of Works, Mo Ruoyou, officially kicked off the reform.

This memorial suggests that the court should be kind to farmers, reduce agricultural taxes, and increase commercial taxes at the same time to fill the national treasury. The reason is that merchants are rich and farmers are poor.

Isn’t this what Your Majesty expects?

It not only reduces the burden on the people, but also increases the income of the treasury.

As for the businessman?

hehe!

This memorial immediately won the support of many people, including a large number of firm supporters in valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce, as well as the vast majority of powerful people.

However, there are quite a lot of opposition, especially officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have been in industrial and commercial families since childhood, and they have been preventing the court from increasing commercial taxes.

Before Wang Xijue and the others could speak, the court had already started to fight.

Dong Pavilion.

"It's really outrageous."

Xu Guojiang supported Mo Ruyou's memorial and threw it on the table, saying, "It looks like a full chapter of benevolence, righteousness, but as long as you are not blind, you can see their dirty thoughts. Is this going to reduce the burden on the people? This is clearly reducing the burden on those big landlords!"

Reduce agricultural taxes and reduce the burden on the people.

To put it nicely.

But don't forget that the taxes of those big landlords are also called agricultural taxes, and they wanted to increase the taxes of the powerful and powerful, and the property of the powerful and powerful is mainly land and reduce agricultural taxes, which is equivalent to making the landlords richer and poorer the country.

"Not only that, they also want to provoke our relationship with His Majesty, because His Majesty certainly does not want to increase the commercial tax income."

Shen Shixing frowned and said, "You must deal with this matter carefully. If it is not handled properly, it may offend the people of the world and Your Majesty."
