It had been fifteen days since the Emperor ordered them to cut off the roots of the movable property.
Within fifteen days.
Cao Zhengchun had killed everyone in the world!
The East Chamber had captured the entire world!
This time, the purge.
The government and the public called it the "tax reform case".
The tax reform case involved many aristocratic families, many sinners, and a wide range of officials.
It was rare in the world!
Many officials trembled when they heard that their in-laws had been killed!
They were afraid that they would be implicated in this matter!
Therefore, he hated these people's actions of pressuring the Emperor to the bone!
"These in-laws of mine sit and enjoy the fruits of success. They don't work hard for the country in the court at all. They're just silkpants from aristocratic families. They rely on sucking the blood of us and the local people to survive. He actually forced His Majesty. He really deserved to die!”
"We have to kill them. Hurry up and kill them all. It has nothing to do with us!”
All the officials in the court drew a clear line between themselves and the aristocratic families.
After the tax reform case.
The families involved had all been destroyed. Their entire families had been exterminated, and three clans had been exterminated.
A family that had been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It was cut off in a single day!
In the cabinet.
When Wang Zhi heard the number of deaths, his expression changed.
Terrifying!
This number made his heart tremble.
It was difficult to maintain his state of mind.
Fortunately, he had long ordered the Wang family to lay low and not add to the burden of the Ming Dynasty.
Thus, the Wang Clan had stayed out of this matter and was unharmed.
"This is for the good of the world."
Wang Zhi was silent for a moment.
He said this sentence.
His loyalty did not waver at all.
His determination to implement tax reform had not changed at all!
In the end, Wang Zhi continued to implement the new tax system.
This time, the new tax system was unimpeded. The aristocratic families all responded and took the lead in the reform!
Many counties in the Nine Provinces immediately turned the tables!
Millions of taels of silver were being sent out continuously!
……
"These aristocratic families need to be disciplined.”
Zhu Qiyu clasped his hands behind his back.
"If you don't discipline them, they will go crazy like wild dogs.”
"Only by seeing blood can one pass through unimpeded.”
Cao Zhengchun quickly bowed.
"That's right, Your Majesty is right."
This time, Cao Zhengchun had slaughtered the entire world and had done everything perfectly.
Therefore, the Emperor was satisfied for the time being, and the head was saved.
The new tax system was effective now and could be implemented to the extreme.
In the past, Zhang Ju of the Great Ming Dynasty had pushed out a whip technique, but it had met with great resistance.
That was the resistance of aristocratic families and wealthy families.
Once he died, he would immediately be whipped and sent to other factions. The corruption in the officialdom would become even more serious, and all kinds of malpractices would arise.
These aristocratic families could only face absolute power.
Only then would they submit!
"How's the implementation of the new tax law going?”
Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Wang Zhi is counting.”
Cao Zhengchun hurriedly reported.
……
The Cabinet.
Chief Minister Wang Zhi looked at the results of the whip and gasped.
His emotions changed again.
He became extremely shocked!
Originally, he was actually a little worried about the tax reform.
What if the effect of the tax reform was not good?
If they didn't meet expectations, wouldn't there be all sorts of drawbacks? With so many people dying in the aristocratic families, there would definitely be turmoil.
But now.
The result was obvious.
The tax system changed from population to per mu.
There was also the East Chamber that inspected the world and counted the amount of land one by one.
All the concealment was exposed.
Aristocratic families could no longer avoid taxes.
In just a few months, three million mu of fertile land had been discovered.
It turned out that all the fertile land in the Ming Empire was only four million mu!
The fertile land seemed to have appeared out of thin air as it increased rapidly.
These fertile fields were originally hidden by the aristocratic families, almost equivalent to another Little Ming.
Now, they were all exposed!
After collecting taxes, it increased by several times.
Even though they reduced the taxes of many farmers and focused on the landlords and wealthy families.
The tax revenue for the first quarter had also reached six million dans of grain!
Originally, the annual tax was only six million dan.
Now, a season was almost like a whole year.
In total, under the new tax system, the tax revenue had increased by four times!
Not only that.
Originally, Ming Dynasty also had a tradition of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.
Now, he was promoting business development.
The original rule that merchants could not wear gold and silver and wear silk clothes had been changed.
Many of the major restrictions on business were lifted at this moment.
The monopoly of the aristocratic families was also broken. The tax reform case made the aristocratic families all over the world hibernate.
Business had developed explosively.
Even if the tax burden was extremely high.
However, in Jiangnan and other places, business also exploded.
In this season, they had collected ten million taels of silver!
This number.
Even Wang Zhi was shocked!
"Quickly report to His Majesty! This is a great thing for Da Ming's finances!”
Wang Zhi was ecstatic.
Once the new tax law was implemented.
The Darming Dynasty would no longer be short of grain, and they would not be afraid of the national treasury not being full!
The death of an aristocratic family was simply insignificant!
How dare he obstruct His Majesty's wise decision? He's really courting death!
At the court meeting.
" Your Majesty, this is the tax situation for this quarter…"
Wang Zhi reported.
"What is it? Ten million taels of silver?"
Many officials in the palace were shocked.
Of course, there were also generals who didn't know what was going on.
They didn't pay much attention to the taxes of the imperial court.
At this moment, he was confused.
"Why is Elder Wang so happy?"
"Ten million taels!"
"This is ten million taels!"
"You don't know? These boorish people, could they ask their colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue?”
"In the past, the Great Ming Empire couldn't even collect these taxes in a year!”
"Now that the tax system has been reformed, the burden on the people has been reduced, and the tax revenue has skyrocketed. The national treasury and granary can be filled up in a few months!”
"My Great Ming has so much silver and food, our national strength has simply multiplied!”
On the throne.
Zhu Qiyu was also delighted.
During the reform of the tax law, 100,000 people were killed.
In the end, there was finally some feedback.
Ten million taels of silver!
If this silver was filled into the national treasury, it could cover more than a year's worth of taxes.
Of course, Zhu Qiyu did not plan to stuff him into the national treasury.
Right now, there was no need for too much silver in the national treasury. A few million taels was enough.
"His Majesty's implementation of this new tax reform is indeed beneficial to the people and to the Great Ming.”
"Your Majesty is truly a wise king!"
Wang Zhi bowed.
This was how the tax reform ended.
He was convinced!
