The entire Ming Dynasty had many problems, but to be honest, it was still a financial issue.

The court is unable to make ends meet, and it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

Which of the nobles in this court is not a very smart person? Whether it is Xie Qian, Wang Hua, Li Dongyang, or even Yang Tinghe and the Minister of Rites Fei Hong, who is not the elite of the Ming Dynasty who selected the best? No matter who it is, in any era, isn’t it a dragon or phoenix among people?

But have they really made a difference? Of course, peace in the world is just a way? Can there be another way? Creating a peaceful and prosperous era? It is too difficult.

People who have reached their level, although it is natural to fight for power and profit, but who doesn’t want to be famous throughout the ages and become a virtuous prime minister, and after their death, they will be given the posthumous title of Wen Zhenggong?

It is precisely because of this that there were many reformers in the Ming Dynasty. Every reformer started with taxation, but how many were they made?

Because this is difficult, it is too difficult. The people are already in trouble. Do they have to increase their burden? If they continue to increase, it is difficult to ensure that the people will not be unable to bear it and cause civil unrest!

And what about the gentry? The life of the gentry is better, but the gentry is the cornerstone of the country. Which of the gentry in the court is not the gentry? Is there anyone in this world who opposes himself?

In fact, there is a way to solve the tax problem of the Ming Dynasty once and for all, that is, the policy of the reform clan.

The large number of royal family members is also a major burden to the court.

However, since Taizu, no one dared to touch this Ming Dynasty, and he didn't even dare to think about it, because this was the law of the ancestors and the lifeblood of the royal family. Whoever mentions it will be done.

Now, Li Dongyang suddenly saw hope, and even his eyes became energetic. I have to say that Ye Chunqiu's entry point was really wonderful.

The ancestors' methods cannot be changed, right? If you mention the royal family a little, you are afraid that these tens of thousands of royal families will fight you without hesitation. However, if you use one method, pry the big stone looser first.

For example, in the name of Ye Chunqiu's so-called bet, the problem of Prince Xing's Mansion was solved.

There is a lot of work to do here. Since the Xingwang Mansion can be paid off, the ancestors' methods can be shaken. Today, this problem can be solved in the name of gambling, and tomorrow, it may be possible to use other names.

Of course, the premise is that Prince Xing’s Mansion is willing to accept the promise and agree to this bet, and Ye Chunqiu will win.

As long as the first precedent appears, there may be a second and a third in the future. Nothing is difficult in the world, and it is better than being a single piece of iron.

So, at this moment, Li Dongyang stroked his beard and showed surprising silence about the so-called gambling game in the palace. If it were in the past, according to his nature, he would not like such things because they were too nonsense, and such things still happened in the Palace of Supreme Harmony?

But now it's different! He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at King Xing Zhu Youxue and Prince Zhu Houcan without saying a word.

And the others seemed to have given him a look.

Xie Qian, Wang Hua, and even Fei Hong, especially some officials from the Ministry of Revenue, had even more meaningful eyes.

Is this... Ye Chunqiu's trap?

If he really wants to solve this problem, then it is really beneficial to the country and the people, and what is the result of his success?

If the royal family can solve the support of the royal family, the entire Ming Dynasty will be equivalent to solving most of the problems.

Even Yang Tinghe was just watching the excitement, but at this moment, he couldn't help but look at Ye Chunqiu deeply, thinking in his heart that Ye Chunqiu was doing this on purpose? If so, 80% of the court officials in this palace would probably stand on his side with the most firm attitude in this matter. This person... This move can be said to be a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and it is really...

Even Yang Tinghe has to admire Ye Chunqiu's cleverness!

Zhu Youze and Zhu Houcong were stunned.

Exclude salary?

This means that from then on, their descendants of the Xingwang Mansion could no longer receive the salary from the court.

This is a real iron rice bowl. Although the Xing Palace has countless royal fields in Anlu, and its glory and wealth are enough to be preserved, the children of the sidelines and children of the common people are much more miserable. This is the ancestral system, the law of the ancestors, and the amulets of Emperor Taizu in order to protect the nobles of heaven and earth.

With this, no matter how poor the descendants of the Xingwang Mansion are, they are not afraid of being hungry!

But the problem now is that Ye Chunqiu kicked the ball back to their father and son again.

It was just now that Ye Chunqiu was embarrassed by his father and son. Isn’t it difficult for them to bet? The biggest question is, can they afford to bet?

The expressions of King Xing and his son became complicated, and it can be seen that they were struggling in their hearts!

If they refuse? Their dignified relatives will inevitably be ridiculed. Moreover, they have the advantage of their father and son just now, but this advantage will be reversed soon.

Besides, why not bet?

As long as he sets the questions himself, Ye Chunqiu will definitely lose, and he will never have a single point in the chance of winning.

There are so many difficult and strange questions in this world. What is Ye Chunqiu? This kind of bet is almost a sure win!

They are prepared today, full of desire for Ye Chunqiu to have no good fruits, so they admit defeat now, how can they be willing to do so?

What's more, they also took out real money and silver, three million patterns, which is definitely the amount that Prince Xing Mansion wants to kneel down.

The father and son looked at each other at the same time, but Zhu Houxuan said, "Okay, this matter is settled."

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said disrespectfully: "Criminal, the family business of King Xing has not yet fallen into the hands of the prince. Why did the prince make a promise?"

This means that you are not qualified yet.

Zhu Houcan's face was not angry, but he just nodded at King Xing Zhu Youze.

Zhu Youze coughed and said, "Since you are forcing a bet, then I will agree."

Ye Chunqiu's eyes opened, and then said with a faint smile: "Now Your Majesty and all the officials in the court are here, but I am still afraid that you will deny it. You and I might as well ask Your Majesty to be a witness. Let's put a proof in the palace. Your Majesty..."

As he said that, Ye Chunqiu bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I also ask your Majesty to be kind."

Zhu Houzhao was still a little confused and was very good, so she started a gambling.

In fact, he didn't have any resentment at all about betting, but he was still a little interested.

But he was a little disappointed, for fear that the masters would object, especially those censors who were injected with chicken blood. Wouldn't they still make noises at that time?

Spring and Autumn, Spring and Autumn, you are really full every day and come to cause trouble, and I have a headache every time.

He couldn't help but look around the ministers in the hall and discovered the problem that stunned him.
