At the same time.
In the old master's dream.
"Hahahaha…"
The old man was very happy.
He had never thought that the eldest grandson of the past would actually have such a fierce side.
When Meng Yuan invaded, they knelt down like dogs. They were afraid of Meng Yuan's saber, but were they not afraid of Big Ming's sword?
Listen!
These were the words of his eldest grandson!
However…
After recollecting it.
The old master's eyes were filled with endless loneliness.
He slowly stood up.
He arrived in front of Eldest Sun.
Even though he knew that he was in a dream.
However, when he saw Eldest Sun's expression…
He still wanted to look at him again and carefully.
"Xiong Ying."
"When Grandpa was young, he always felt that his good days were still behind him.”
"That's why I never watched you grow up.”
"Because of some things, because of some people.”
"We walked further and further away from our loved ones.”
"Even if you have to accompany me and start from scratch…"
At this point, the old man's voice suddenly choked up.
"When your grandmother passed away…"
"I'm afraid they still hate us."
"Resentment for my cold-bloodedness."
"He resents us for walking further and further on the path of the Emperor…without kinship.”
"Yes, I am."
"After I became the emperor, the thought of reuniting with my family has indeed lessened.”
"But…until you really disappeared.”
The old man smashed his chest hard!
"Only then did I know that it has always been there!"
"It has always been there!"
The old man paused.
He came in front of his eldest grandson.
Squat down!
He looked at Zhu Xiongying carefully.
"Eldest Sun, let's see how you've grown up, okay?”
……
The scene in front of him was like a torn painting.
It dissipated again.
The old man had yet to react.
Suddenly.
The market was bustling!
It was bustling with activity.
And at this moment!
The eight-year-old Zhu Xiong Ying was obediently walking on the street with the old man holding his hand.
This time.
What shocked the old man was…
His hair was white, and the wrinkles on his body were clearly visible.
His waist was also slightly hunched.
It looked exactly like it did in reality.
"Xiong Ying…"
When he looked at Zhu Xiongying, he realized that she was the person he remembered the deepest part of his life-eight years old.
He could not help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart.
It was this year that Eldest Sun left!
……
"What does Imperial Grandfather think of the business tax?"
Suddenly, the old man looked at Eldest Sun.
It was different from the previous few indirect inquiries.
This time, Eldest Sun asked directly.
And his voice no longer had the childishness of a child.
On the contrary, he was full of the feeling of a teenager.
"Eldest Sun!"
The old man shouted in surprise.
But then, he quickly replied.
"Business tax, I didn't think too much about it."
"I only know that merchants are a bunch of rats who forget their morals for profit!”
"They only care about profit and do whatever it takes.”
"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they never thought of saving the people. Instead, they took the opportunity to raise prices, only for small profits and forgot about righteousness.”
"You eat until you are fat, but the hungry people change their children to eat you!”
"We just want to beat them down and never make a comeback!”
He could tell.
The old man hated businessmen from the bottom of his heart.
"Since Imperial Grandfather hates merchants so much, what about them?”
Suddenly.
The old man noticed.
As Eldest Sun finished speaking.
It was as if he had grown a year older.
It had become much taller.
This discovery shocked him, but he was also extremely surprised.
However…
He realized again.
Eldest Sun's face also became blurry.
The old master could only let him see.
With one glance, he saw the street vendor that Eldest Sun had pointed out.
"Royal Grandfather, look at them!"
"The commoners you see the most in the marketplace."
"Most of the residents of the capital don't have land outside the city, so they can only do small businesses.”
" Some sell breakfast, some sell candied haws, some sell shoes, some sell fish, some sell vegetables…"
"Imperial Grandfather said that merchants forsake righteousness for profit. Does that include them?”
The old man was speechless and a little angry.
"What we're talking about is a big profiteer with a background. What's wrong with them?”
"Why do you think we want to lower the business tax? Isn't it because of them?"
"We once had breakfast on a street.”
"It's not easy to hear their complaints.”
"In addition, in order to make the market prosperous, we continue to reduce the business tax!”
Zhu Xiongying seemed to have grown taller, but his face was even more blurry, and his body seemed to be wrapped in mist.
"However, Imperial Grandfather's actions have indirectly bred even more parasites!”
"I know!" Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
"Just as Third Sun said, many gentry used their power to turn their servants or relatives into wealthy merchants!”
"They enjoyed the benefits given by the Imperial Court, but they opened their huge mouths and wantonly ate the finances that should have belonged to Great Ming!”
"So, has Imperial Grandfather thought of what to do?" Zhu Xiongying continued to ask.”
"Difficult!"
"If we raise the business tax, these hawkers will suffer!”
"Lowering the business tax will make the rich laugh!”
"How difficult!"
"Then why not refine the business tax or even grade it?" Zhu Xiongying suddenly said.”
The old man suddenly turned around, confused." What did you say?"”
At this moment.
The old man suddenly realized.
The eldest grandson in front of him had already reached his shoulder.
However, his face and figure were becoming more and more invisible.
There were only sixteen words.
It fell with a resounding sound.
"All goods will be subject to a business tax!"
"There are many rich people, but few who make a living!"
In an instant!
The old master's eyes suddenly lit up!
He was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In these years, he had seen too many memorials from the Ministry of Revenue. His knowledge had already surpassed the vast majority of the people in the current dynasty.
There were some words.
He didn't need anyone to explain it to him thoroughly.
In just a few words.
It was enough!
Just like now.
The old man's eyes lit up.
He muttered to himself in surprise.
"In that case, my Great Ming's financial restructuring has taken shape so quickly!”
The old man paused.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter.
At this moment.
The surrounding environment changed again.
The old man had already appeared under a huge peach tree.
Peach blossoms spread all over the mountains and plains.
Opposite him, a young figure sat down silently.
He couldn't see any face or figure, only a blurry outline.
The old man's laughter was still echoing!
However, there was a complicated look in his eyes.
"As a grandfather, you actually need your grandson's guidance.”
"Xiong Ying!"
"I know!"
The old man suddenly stood up with a determined expression.
"Great Ming's financial tax reform!"
" 1. Quickly unify the complicated collection method of grain tax, cancel all the complicated processes, and gradually turn it into money!”
"Second, the villagers are allowed to enter the fields! Cancel the number of heads and set it as the number of fields per household. Clear the land of our Ming Dynasty and then set the tax of our Ming Dynasty!”
"Third, tiered business tax. All goods will be subject to business tax. Those who are extremely rich and extravagant will be increased step by step! Those who make a living from this will shrink infinitely!"
The old man waved his hand.
Suddenly, he looked at the blurry figure in front of him.
His face was filled with emotion.
However, they parted with endless sadness.
"Eldest Sun!"
"With these three strategies, although Great Ming will not be able to live forever!”
"But…it can also be passed down for hundreds of generations!"
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion.
The old man suddenly laughed again.
"But do you know…"
"Tonight will make Grandpa the happiest!”
"I didn't obtain these three strategies!"
"But…"
The old man's tone suddenly became gentle.
It was as if an old man at home was whispering softly.
"Grandpa finally dreamed of you!"
"This is a good dream!"
"But Grandpa, there is one last question.”
At this point, the figure of Emperor Ming Hongwu was almost trembling.
"Xiong Ying, are you…still alive?”
……
At the same time.
Zhu Biao stood under the galloping horses.
His pupils constricted.
At this moment.
He felt his heart beating violently!
Because he already knew the answer.
"Yunchen!"
Suddenly, a loud roar sounded.
Zhu Yunhao quickly looked over.
Zhu Biao, however, turned around and pointed at the picture of Ten Thousand Horses Galloping, his fingers trembling.
His tone was filled with disbelief and madness!
"I guessed it! I guessed it!"
"Sitting is also standing, standing is also standing, walking is also standing, lying is also standing"
"It's not a word!"
"To be precise, it's the object in this painting!”
"It's a horse!"
Boom!
It was as if thousands of thunderbolts had struck Zhu Yunyan's mind.
At this moment.
Zhu Yunhao's performance was even worse than his father's.
He almost staggered to his father's side.
They looked at the painting together!
He muttered to himself.
"It's a horse! It's a horse!"
"Whether it is walking or running, resting or sleeping, it will always stand upright.”
"But Father!"
"Since the first word is horse…"
"Then could it be…"
"Could it be…"
The entire Great Ming Imperial Family was related to them.
There was only one name.
With a horse!
But at this moment.
No matter how much Zhu Yunhao tried to guess, there was nothing he could do…
Tell them the answer that they thought was true!
It wasn't that he didn't dare to say it!
He didn't dare to believe it!
Zhu Biao had already guessed what his son was going to say.
He covered his face with his sleeves.
Crystal dots.
It fell silently…
In the next moment.
Snot flowed down his face!
