Towards the end, Wei Zhongxian said," Your Majesty, those civil officials are really despicable. It's only right for Your Majesty to implement the business tax, but they oppose it in every way possible. They really deserve to be killed!”
Wu Yunqing glanced at Wei Zhongxian. Of course, he knew what Wei Zhongxian was thinking. He wanted to retaliate and kill to vent his anger.
"It's indeed hateful, but we can't leave them. Without them, who will govern such a big country?
Your subordinates don't know anything but fighting and killing.
Old Wei, I've asked Yan Mingtai to set up a tax department. Your East Branch must first investigate the shops in Yan City. This must be done as soon as possible and recorded in the files.
Also, I asked Luo Sigong to send people to investigate the smuggling of Jian Krupp. You have to cooperate.
In this matter, anyone who tries to stop me will be deceiving the emperor. Do you understand?”Wu Yunqing looked at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian quickly promised that he would cooperate.
Wu Yunqing knew that Wei Zhongxian had a very bad opinion of Luo Sigong. With the Brocade Guard separated, Wei Zhongxian's power would be reduced.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei mainly dealt with the outside world, so there were fewer conflicts with the East Hall.
After saying a few words, Wei Zhongxian left.
After all, Wei Zhongxian was now in charge of the East Chamber and had many things to do. He could not always follow the Emperor.
Not long after, Sun Chengzong arrived. After greeting him, he said," Your Majesty, I still want to talk about the business tax.
There were many people in the court, and some things were hard to say.
This lowly official thinks that the business tax must be carefully calculated. Countless people in the imperial court are in contact with those big merchants. A little commotion is not a small matter!”
Wu Yunqing nodded. Although those businessmen did not have control over the armed forces, they had servants. It would be troublesome if they caused trouble.
Moreover, they had connections with the magistrate and county magistrate. They were colluding with each other. It was easy for them to cause trouble.
Hearing this, Wu Yunqing frowned.
In fact, the main reason was that the Ming Dynasty had already reached the end of its life. There were internal and external problems, as well as natural and man-made disasters. There were holes everywhere.
If he took a big step, it would be easy to pull his balls!
Fortunately, he didn't insist too much just now. If it was just Yan City, it would be fine.
"Then what do you think, Teacher?"
Sun Chengzong sighed slightly." Your Majesty, we can only plan slowly.
Even if it's implemented in Yan City, I think it will cause a big commotion. Be careful, those merchants might go on strike…"
To be honest, Sun Chengzong did not want to increase the business tax at all. On one hand, many people came to him to complain, and on the other hand, he was most worried about Jian Lu and did not want to cause any more trouble.
However, Wu Yunqing thought differently from Sun Chengzong. He thought that Big Ming's biggest problem was actually an internal problem.
Even though the Jian Krupp was ferocious, as long as there were no more malignant tumors within, what was the point of the Jian Krupp?
Wu Yunqing chuckled." Sun Qing, you don't have to worry. I have my own countermeasures."
Oh right, Sun Qing said last time that he wanted to reinstate Yuan Chonghuan. I think it's possible.
Then let Yuan Chonghuan be the governor of Zhejiang. The original governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen, was corrupt and impeached by many people. He was immediately removed from office.”
At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already returned to his hometown and resigned.
Because Yuan Chonghuan was impeached by Wei Zhongxian's people, he felt very wronged.
One had to know that Yuan Chonghuan had also built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, but those people were still unwilling to give in to him, so he retreated in order to advance.
After all, Liaodong was wreaking havoc here. Ordinary people couldn't play around. When they couldn't hold on anymore, they would invite him back.
Yuan Chonghuan was actually a member of the Donglin Party, but he was a opportunistic person. On one hand, he belonged to the Donglin Party, and on the other hand, he built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. He was very good at playing both sides.
Wu Yunqing actually admired such a shameless guy from the bottom of his heart. Big Ming didn't lack a clean stream, nor did he lack a mouth cannon. What he lacked was someone who could do things.
Therefore, Wu Yunqing agreed to reinstate Yuan Chonghuan.
Sun Chengzong was taken aback." Your Majesty, I think we should send Yuan Chonghuan to Liaodong to fight against the Jian Krupp. After all, he has been there for a few years and is more familiar with that place…"
Wu Yunqing waved his hand and said with a smile," Teacher, don't be anxious.
Logically speaking, that was the case. However, did Teacher know that after Yuan Chonghuan took office, he had conflicts with several colleagues?
The soldiers were in danger, and a person who could not tolerate others was suitable as the commander of an army.”
Sun Chengzong was silent. This Yuan Chonghuan was very capable, but he also had many shortcomings. He was not tolerant.
Wu Yunqing would not let Yuan Chonghuan go over. Because in history, it was because Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong that Qi Qing did not have to worry about the future and went south again and again.
Sun Chengzong tried to persuade Wu Yunqing, but Wu Yunqing just shook his head.
Seeing that the Emperor had made up his mind, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to agree.
Two days later, Cao Huachun came.
