Meng Changgu was completely dumbfounded!
The officials from Jiangnan were also stunned!
As for San Yang, he was extremely gratified.
Even the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look at Yu Qian carefully.
His talent and learning were unparalleled.
He could be called a Kingdom Knight!
As for Zhu Zhan Xin, he reminded the stunned officials and asked,""Milords, are there any other questions?”
Only then did all the officials come back to their senses.
Meng Changgu bowed to Yu Qian in shame and said,""Take off your official robes!"
Yu Qian also returned his bow and said,"Your Excellency is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. I am just a small head of the Ministry of Rites. I am too modest, Your Excellency Meng."”
Meng Changgu felt even more ashamed!
He waved his hand and returned to the team of officials.
For a moment, he sighed.
After Zhu Zhanxin glanced at Meng Changgu, he also predicted that Yu Qian would not be troubled again.
As expected, none of the ministers stood up to object.
Yu Qian governor Jiangnan matter-finalized.
"Yu Qian will definitely not fail!"
"Alright, Lord Yu, stand up. There's no need to be so polite.”
Immediately after, Zhu Zhan Xin began to bring up the second matter of today's court meeting.
- -
"Lord Yang Shiqi, please show the rules and regulations that I asked you to organize to the lords.”
"Yes, Country Supervisor."
Yang Shiqi asked the eunuch to distribute a few printed sheets of paper filled with words.
These were all sorted out by him and the other two cabinet ministers, Lord Yang.
In less than two hours, they had produced a general regulation of the tax administration before the morning court session.
It was obvious how capable he was.
Even though it was done under Zhu Zhanxin's guidance throughout the entire process.
"Look, what is this?"
"Never heard of it!"
"The General Administration of Revenue?"
"All over the country?"
"Strange and strange!"
The officials began to discuss.
It was just like a market.
Zhu Zhanxin was not in a hurry and let them take a look for a while.
The people here were not stupid. Although it was novel, they understood after a while.
"Good heavens, once this is implemented, the entire Great Ming Dynasty, even the three guards, will be able to directly control every single cent of the tax revenue, and it will go straight to the imperial court's treasury!”
"That's right, that's right!"
"Look at this article. Set up tax branches all over the country and directly announce that all merchants of the Great Ming Dynasty must register with this local tax court. Otherwise, they are not allowed to do business and do not have the qualifications to do business!”
"There's also this supplementary clause. Look, it's simply too heavy!”
"Which one?"
"There are still merchants who do not have the qualifications to do business. If they continue to do business, once they are found out, they will be confiscated or killed…”
"Tsk tsk, too much killing intent!" An official whispered.
The colleague beside him grabbed him and gestured to the sword-bearing guards on both sides of the hall.
The official immediately shut up.
A chill ran down his spine!
Zhu Gaochi had also finished reading it by this time, and he was somewhat opposed.
It wasn't that they were against the establishment of the tax headquarters, but that there were branches everywhere.
It was because the punishment was too severe!
Since ancient times, as long as merchants didn't cut corners or take advantage of the market, their lives were basically not in danger.
However, once this policy was implemented…
Wouldn't that cause the merchants to panic?
Zhu Gaochi was the first to step forward and said to his son,""Supervisor, I have something to say."
Seeing his father jump out, Zhu Zhan Xin sighed in his heart.
He, the future emperor, was too soft-hearted.
A benevolent ruler!
"Father, tell me."
" The punishment is too heavy. I object."
He went straight to the point.
Zhu Zhan's head hurt!
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhan asked,""Father, do you know Shang Yang?"
Zhu Gaochi naturally knew, but at this time, because he opposed his son's policy, he was also a little unhappy. He said,"I also know that Shang Yang was torn apart by a car!”
Zhu Zhan broke out in a cold sweat!
When his father's temper flared up, even a clay person would have some anger.
However, he was still very patient with his father.
Zhu Zhan Xin walked down from above and stood in front of his father, explaining,""If the reform doesn't use heavy laws, it will cause the reform to go down the drain. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform was only a reform because he didn't dare to kill people.”
He then said," The reason why reform is reform is that it has to be drastic and get rid of malpractices. The former is used, and the latter is used. The two complement each other and cannot be missing. Don't you understand, Father?”
Zhu Gaochi was furious because he realized that he couldn't win against his youngest son.
Zhu Zhanshi continued," If you want others to take the reform seriously, you will have to bleed. Only when you see blood and set an example will others want to follow. They will be afraid and think twice. This is the effect of heavy punishment! Moreover, wouldn't it be fine if they went to register obediently?”
Yang Shiqi also said,"That's right, Crown Prince. Back then, when Taizu Hongwu was involved in a major case, he also used heavy punishment to change some of the bad customs left behind by the previous dynasty!”
Since Grand Secretary Yang had stepped out to help, Zhu Gaochi slowly began to ponder.
Indeed, what his son said made sense!
That was right.
This was a reform, not a child's play.
It was not a treat.
Reforms were deadly.
Zhu Zhan Xin saw that his father's expression was a little relaxed and quickly added,""Father, this is to promote benefits for the people and eliminate evils. It is also the virtue of the people. As long as it is carried out, it will definitely bring benefits to the world and eliminate the evils of the world.”
Zhu Gaochi began to hesitate!
Zhu Zhanyi smiled and said," Don't worry, Father. This dynasty is founded on benevolence and virtue. As long as we change our course and restore a healthy market, I will order the gradual loosening of this policy. At that time, Father, you won't feel that there's anything unkind, right?”
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he finally relented and said,""Alright, we'll do as you say. Father supports you, but in the future, you must do what you say.”
"Of course, of course. Habit becomes nature. It's already natural. How can we not let go? Isn't this also a famous saying of the Taoist father? Father, don't you like me the most? Haha!"
"Kid, you have a sharp tongue. Your father can't outtalk you.”
"Alright then."
Next, he went with the flow.
Even the officials who had objections to Yu Qian's matter could not stop him.
Not to mention this decree that Zhu Zhanxin wanted to make personally.
The establishment of the Ming Dynasty's General Revenue Department was announced on the same day!
Yang Shiqi was the first president of the General Institute of Revenue.
Lord Yang and Lord Yang will be the Vice Principals.
The cabinet oversaw the refinement of the regulations and the distribution of specific matters to the various ministries.
When the time came, the water would flow.
The morning court session ended.
Zhu Zhanxin and the three lords continued to elaborate on the relevant matters of the tax administration headquarters.
San Yang was even more meticulous than Zhu Zhan Xin.
He even put forward many constructive suggestions, which made Zhu Zhan Xin feel amazed.
