Zhu Yuanzhang was very disappointed with Li Shanchang and the others.
Even the best strategists in their own camp could not compare to Lin Zi Yun's divination.
What a huge gap!
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling distressed.
Liu Bowen, who had just left the royal study, also looked for Li Shan Chang at the first moment.
"Minister Li, His Majesty mentioned the reason why the great clans are so powerful. Did you come up with this?”
Liu Bowen asked directly.
After all, as Zhu Yuanzhang's advisor, it was normal for him to give advice to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Liu Bowen went straight to the point.
"No."
Lee Shan Chang shook his head, unwilling to say anything more, and quickly left.
Looking at Lee Shan Chang's appearance.
Although Liu Bowen was suspicious, he did not say anything.
The three of them quickly gathered their subordinates and held a meeting to discuss the new tax law.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to read the memorials in the royal study.
He was an extremely diligent emperor.
Every day, he had to personally review the memorials.
However, he had not abolished the prime minister's power yet.
He was not very busy with work.
However, Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, and Liu Bowen soon sent over several sets of tax reform plans, including many officials 'opinions on the tax system.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to read every memorial carefully.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang read the memorial until late at night.
Just as he was reviewing the memorial.
A thick blanket was suddenly draped over his body.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became alert. When he raised his head, he found that Empress Ma was already standing beside him.
"Sister, you're here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up.
"You're so busy that you forgot the time. You don't even know who's standing beside you!”
Empress Ma gestured behind her.
A palace maid immediately brought a plate over.
"You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"I asked the royal chef to make some carp soup for you.”
"I steamed some buns."
"Hurry up and eat."
Empress Ma personally scooped a bowl of fish soup for Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Sigh, this girl is still considerate of us."
Zhu Yuanzhang happily took the fish soup, picked up the bun, and began to eat.
"It's good that you know."
Empress Ma paused for a moment and then said,"Oh right, Chongba, why did you approve the memorial so late today?" Did something happen?"
"Sister, we asked Li Shan Chang and the others to come up with a plan to reform the tax system today. There were a lot of memorials at the same time, so it was a little late.”
Zhu Yuanzhang drank a bowl of fish soup and asked the palace maid to scoop the soup for him as he spoke.
As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang usually had to put on airs when eating imperial food.
However, as long as he was in front of Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang would act very casually.
"Chongba, you want to change taxes?"
"Isn't this tax system quite good?"
Empress Ma was a little surprised.
Although the laws set by Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stated that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics.
But Empress Ma was still very familiar with the Great Ming's taxes.
Compared to the Yuan Dynasty's exorbitant taxes, the Great Ming Dynasty's taxes were much lighter!
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was once a poor farmer, and after he stabilized his country, he reduced corvee and labor.
"Sister, you don't know, but we met an expert today!”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide anything.
He told Lin Zi Yun the entire process of his fortune-telling.
The more Empress Ma heard, the more surprised she became.
"There's actually such an expert in the world?”
"Chongba, did he really recognize you through the curtains?”
"And he even pointed out the root cause of the subjugation of the past dynasties?!”
Empress Ma's eyes lit up as she grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang and said,""Chongba, this kind of expert is simply sent by the heavens to assist Da Ming! You should invite him into the palace!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.
He slapped his forehead.
That's right, why hadn't he thought of inviting Lin Zi Yun into the palace?!
"Sister, such an expert should indeed be invited into the palace. We should give him a high position and let him assist us!”
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately called for help.
Unexpectedly, Empress Ma suddenly stopped him.
"Chongba, you are too rude.”
"You should personally invite such an expert. Didn't that expert ask you to look for him two days later? Then it won't be too late to invite him again when you see him again!”
If he were to force Lin Zi Yun too much, it would make Lin Zi Yun unhappy.
Lin Ziyun couldn't take it anymore.
That would not be worth it.
Empress Ma's words also brought Zhu Yuanzhang back to his senses.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"I was too rash. The next time I see that expert, I'll invite him into the palace to assist me!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
Empress Ma turned her attention to the memorials on Zhu Yuanzhang's table.
"Chongba, do you like any of the plans proposed by the ministers?”
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table.
"A bunch of idiots!"
"All of them are suggesting that we levy heavy taxes on the descendants of the great clans!”
"But there are no constructive suggestions!”
"That Li Shan Chang and Hu Wei Yong even had a dispute over where to collect the heavy taxes first and impeached each other!”
"But the tax collection locations they provided were all in the north.”
"Do you think we don't know what they're thinking?!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with indignation.
The Huaixi faction led by Hu Weiyong and Li Shan Chang was now quite powerful in the imperial court.
Liu Bowen, on the other hand, was a wooden person in the court, the kind who did not breathe.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the three of them to provide a plan to improve the tax system.
The three of them also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to make a move against those aristocratic families and the big landowners in various places, but they all set the location of the heavy tax collection in the north first, not the rich Jiangnan. This was obviously selfish.
After all, Huaixi was in Jiangnan!
"Chongba, since you are not satisfied with the plans provided by the ministers, you should wait for two days before getting that expert to read your fortune.”
"In addition, bring Biao Er over too. He's the Crown Prince. Reforming the tax system is such a big matter, you have to let him follow!”
Empress Ma reminded.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and drank the fish soup happily.
After he finished the fish soup and ate the bread, he continued to mark the memorials.
He only fell asleep at midnight.
Two days later.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been discussing the tax reform with his ministers.
In these two days.
Lin Zi Yun rented a carriage and brought Xiao Yu to the outskirts of the capital.
Now, he had more than a ton of potatoes and 600 taels of silver.
Lin Zi Yun decided to buy some land and start farming.
Although there were rewards from the system and the income from the fortune-telling shop.
Lin Zi Yun did not worry about food and drink.
However, Ming Dynasty's resources were very scarce.
Many of the crops that existed in the future did not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, there was no greenhouse planting technology.
In the cold winter, you couldn't even buy a single vegetable in the market.
If only Lin Zi Yun had land.
They could plant potatoes, fruit trees, and vegetables on a large scale. They could also plant them in greenhouses and raise them in groups.
Then the days in the future would be truly wonderful!
At this time, the Great Ming Dynasty had just been established, and the era of chaos had just passed.
The population in the suburbs of the capital was not too dense, and there were still many wasteland.
Lin Zi Yun's process of buying the land was very simple.
He only went to the local Li Zheng government office and showed his identification.
He only spent sixty taels to buy a few acres of wasteland.
He had even kindly reminded Lin Ziyun that the few acres of land he had was not enough to feed his entire family, and suggested that Lin Zi Yun buy more.
He also advised Lin Zi Yun to buy a paddy field near the river bank, not a wasteland with only a few streams.
However, Lin Zi Yun did not listen to him at all. After buying the land and obtaining the title deed, he brought Xiao Yu back to his residence.
In the future, Lin Zi Yun planned to move the fortune-telling shop to the outskirts of the capital.
After all, living on his own land was much better than renting a house.
In addition, Lin Zi Yun wanted to buy more servants. He didn't want to do farming himself.
