Rice...rice bowl?

This is really too straightforward!

This is Huangji Sect, the place where the Imperial Sect obeys the affairs. Although it has not been arranged in advance, the fact is that all the civil and military officials and emperors are here now. This is a grand dynasty meeting!

Here I am just a job, but it seems out of place!

Didn’t Chen Younian know what Wanli meant? He felt very wronged in his heart. My brother’s job was always broken. He raised his head and said with confidence: “Your Majesty, I…….”

Before he could finish speaking, Wanli interrupted him, "Do you know how much effort I have spent on this edict?"

Chen Younian was stunned when asked, nodded dullly, and he could tell that the edict would never be written randomly.

Wanli smiled bitterly and said, "However, it has been less than an hour since the edict was issued. I know that all my dear friends are the smartest people in my Ming Dynasty. But I think even if you are the smartest people, it will be difficult to see this edict clearly in less than an hour."

Chen Younian opened his eyes when he heard this, and then he looked ashamed on his face.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Xu Guo and others also secretly regretted that they were really fooled.

Wanli said: "So don't tell me that you are here to worry about the country and the people. If you are really worried about the country and the people, you should first discuss it carefully. The pros and cons of this reform, and then come to me to discuss it. Although I have not heard it with my own ears, I am sure that you have never discussed the pros and cons of the reform."

You want to destroy our jobs, and you’re just talking nonsense!

This also proves that what Wanli said before is completely correct.

Therefore, don’t talk about these great principles. Since you are here for your job, let’s talk about your job.

Wanli said bluntly: "You can see from this that your interests will be hurt. This is why you are anxious to come here. This is why you are so anxious that you don't even wear official uniforms."

Indeed, there were several officials inside that didn't even wear official uniforms, and he himself didn't notice it. Only after Wanli mentioned it, they realized that they were embarrassed and embarrassed.

Zhang Heming immediately said: "Maybe Your Majesty is right. Some people care about these things, and I dare not deny them, but it is a bit generalized. I believe that more people are shocked by Your Majesty's publication of the edict in newspapers, because it is not in line with the court system."

"It's not in line with the court system? I think it's not in line with your wishes?"

Wanli snorted coldly and said, "Why don't I know that I cannot publish the edict in newspapers? Which system stipulates this?"

Zhang Heming opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

How long has this true newspaper and magazine appeared? This is definitely not stipulated in the system. It is like the Ming Dynasty system that would never prohibit officials from posting Weibo.

This is just an unwritten rule. If you are serious, you will win.

But Wanli hated this point. When I do something, I have to do it according to the form you stipulate. A little bit of deviation will make you scold me half-death. Who is the emperor?

I don't!

Li Sancai said: "But such a big deal, Your Majesty should discuss with the cabinet or ministers in advance."

"You are right. I should discuss this with you."

Wanli pointed at Li Sancai and nodded with great relief, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "But you can't blame me for not discussing with you. I've been bitten by a snake in this dynasty and have been afraid of the well rope for ten years. Isn't this afraid that you will use some despicable tricks to destroy it?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked and looked up at Wanli in an orderly manner.

What you said is a little bit vicious. We all become poisonous snakes in our relationship!

"Don't you know what you have done yourself?"

Wanli sneered coldly: "Yang Yinglong is doing evil in Bozhou, and the people of Sichuan and Guizhou are suffering from the Yang family. But I cannot explicitly attack him, and I have to send troops to Bozhou on the grounds of bandits' chaos. This is nothing. In the battle in the southwest, you secretly support Yang Yinglong, not only inform Yang Yinglong, but also secretly give Yang Yinglong food and arms.

What is the purpose of gain? Is it the country or the people?

When the emperor committed rebellion, Guo Dan was ordered to go alone, capture the emperor alive, quell the Ningxia rebellion and prevent the people of the northwest from being miserable. And you, huh, are all silent about this.

What is the purpose? Is it the country or the people?"

This is the rhythm of liquidation!

Many ministers were sweating profusely.

Wanli's expression changed and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I want to blame you, I have issued an order to kill you all, and I will not wait until now. But you don't blame me for hiding anything from you. After all, this reform is very critical to the country and the people. I don't want any mistakes, and I hope that all my dear friends can forgive you!"

Chen Younian, Wang Jiaping and the others glanced at each other, and saw many ministers trembling and did not dare to breathe, for fear of being named by Wanli, all of them sighed in their hearts.

Of course they also knew, but the struggle between the two sides was already in full swing and no one could stop it.

At least they can't blame Wanli for hiding them in advance.

Wanli waited for a while, and saw that they did not say anything, before continuing to say, "Actually, I am not surprised, because there are so many such things. When Guo Dan contracted the Weihui Mansion, he turned the tide, made the local people live and work in peace, and increased taxes for the national treasury. Later, Weihui Mansion became the richest prefecture in the country in one fell swoop. You sneered at this, and you never thought about learning from Weihui Mansion.

What’s even more ridiculous is that whenever I mention the establishment of the crown prince, you start to jump up and down, worrying about the country and the people, and keeping in the country, all of you speak righteously. However, you are not even doing what you are doing now as good as a businessman. Why do you care about the future of my Ming Dynasty? Do you care about when I will die or when the Ming Dynasty will die?"

"I don't dare."

The ministers were shocked and shouted in unison.

This is really scary.

"What else do you dare not?"

Wanli said coldly: "Don't tell me any Confucian classics. If Confucian classics are not for the country and the people, then they are nothing. Sometimes I really think that the Confucian classics are spoken from you, which is the greatest insult to the sages and Confucianism."

The fat man is so powerful!

From this perspective, it was really unexpected for all the ministers to enter the foundation of the country!

But this makes sense.

The reason why you care about the prince is because the prince is the foundation of the country, which directly concerns the future of the Ming Dynasty. This is nothing wrong. But the problem is that you can't even handle the current problems well, and then tell people that you are worried about things that will happen more than ten years or even decades later. Are you funny?

There is no logic at all.

This theory directly denies their previous discussions on the foundation of the country.

The reason why the ministers were speechless was that Wanli tore off the hypocritical mask.

Once everyone starts telling the truth, it will be difficult to continue talking.

Wanli returned to the dragon throne and sat down, saying, "Let's talk about the most about tax exemption privileges. I know that although I have repeatedly expressed that I will give you your privileges to silver, and you will not lose a penny, but you will not be grateful to me, because many of you have tax exemption for the land far exceeds the regulations of the court. The ancestral system, the ancestral system!"

When talking about the "ancestral system", he pointed his finger at the ministers with a sarcastic smile on his face.

The tax exemption privileges have quotas, they are all set by Taizu Chengzu, and they are all ancestral system, but as a result... no one abides by it. Taizu hated corrupt officials the most, but now, there are a lot of them to be caught casually.

Wanli hates this very much, and the ancestral system of feelings is to restrain me.

It's better not to.

Wanli said: "I can only express regrets about this, because this reform is inevitable. I also know that this will offend many people, and even force some people to jump over the wall. That is, you say that the world is in chaos, but you don't have to worry about me. I have made preparations for this. Today I will tell you clearly that the world will not be in chaos! The saints say that those who have achieved enlightenment will have many helps, and those who have lost their power will have few helps. I believe that the people's hearts are on my side."

As he said that, he stood up and was about to leave, but as soon as he reached the stairs, he retreated and said, "By the way! I almost forgot to talk about the Senate. Regarding the Senate, it is actually very simple. Since I took power, I found that you have failed to succeed and have more than enough to fail. I can only talk about military affairs on paper and talk about Confucian classics. This country is getting worse every year. I decided to try another group of people, hoping to succeed. Oh, you don't need to bless me, because your blessings are always counterproductive."

After talking about this, he went down the stairs and left.

It’s not that he doesn’t give the ministers a chance to refute, but that there is no need for this. I’m going to replace someone, so what else do you need to do?

Today's meeting is not about arguing, because once you tell the truth, there is no need to argue. Wanli wants to use this to express his determination. Speaking of this, it means that he will not give in.

No word in the decree will be changed.

If you don't agree, just try it.

Now that he is blooming in the north and south, the chieftain system is abolished in the southwest, Ningxia is intimidating the Tatars, and his momentum is very strong. He will never miss this excellent opportunity.

......

Yinuoyaxing.

"The layman came just in time, and I was about to hear what the layman thought about it."

Guo Dan smiled and looked at Aunt Xu and said uninvitedly.

“It’s really wonderful!”

Aunt Xu was no longer as calm as before, but said very excitedly: "Maybe in my father and the others' eyes, the sky has fallen, but in my eyes, this is just a natural result, and it will happen sooner or later."

Guo Dan said, "How do you say this?"

Aunt Xu said: "The reason for tax exemption is that the emperor has always enjoyed the greatest tax exemption privilege, but now that the situation has changed, and Your Majesty no longer needs the so-called tax exemption privilege, so naturally he will feel that this tax exemption privilege is very annoying."

"At the same word."

Guo Dan nodded and said.

This was proposed by him, so of course he was sure that Wanli would agree, otherwise, wouldn’t he be talking nonsense?

Don’t look at the fat guy who speaks it well and is justified, but don’t forget that he is also a rich slave. If you want to hurt his interests, he will fight against you. In fact, he weighs the trade-offs based on his own interests.

The reason why there is this tax-free privilege is that the emperor does not have to pay taxes, so the ruling class enjoys certain tax-free power. The higher the level, the greater the privilege. This is the class system.

In the past, he didn't have to pay taxes on his property, so of course he wouldn't have to say anything, because once this rule is broken, everyone's life will be difficult.

But now all his main income is taxed, and he pays a lot of it. As for his little land tax, it is no longer a concern. The reform he is promoting today has to pay taxes even for his land, but he doesn't care!

How much does this cost?

As soon as the shares rose, everything came back.

In other words, now privileges are exempt from taxes from others, not taxes from one's own.

Of course, this tax-free privilege is annoying no matter how you look at it.

This also violates the class system. If the emperor pays taxes, it is impossible for you to not pay them.
