"Third brother, what is this? What is a whip?"
"Quick, tell me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong and urged him with a voice full of hope.
He knew that his son had been gifted since he was a child. Not only was he born with extraordinary strength and martial arts, but he was also exceptionally intelligent and imaginative. Even Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, the two strategists, often sighed that they were inferior.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son might give him a big surprise!
"Reporting to Imperial Father, throughout history, every dynasty and every generation has implemented a human tax, collecting taxes according to the number of people. Those aristocrats annexed land in order to find ways to hide the population and avoid taxes.”
"This resulted in them owning a large amount of land and only paying a small amount of taxes. All the money went into their pockets, and the ones who suffered were all ordinary civilians.”
"As time goes by, the commoners will not be able to survive. They will rebel and rebel.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and the others nodded their heads repeatedly as they listened to Zhu Rong's analysis. His analysis was so incisive that it hit the nail on the head.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who had the deepest understanding of this. Wasn't this how he joined the uprising army to rebel and become the emperor?
"Father, sirs, people can become tenants and hide under the name of the landlord, but fields are real things.”
"If we cancel the population tax and levy taxes according to the land, then no matter if it's the landlord or the ordinary people, no one can avoid it!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and the others 'eyes lit up when they heard this. Zhu Xi's words enlightened them as if they had just woken up from a dream!
That's right!
Landlords and despotic tyrants occupied the land of the people and turned them into tenant farmers to avoid taxes. If taxes were levied according to the land, they would not be able to escape no matter how much land they owned!
"Hahaha!"
"Wonderful! Fantastic!"
"This is a good idea. Change the population tax to the land tax and distribute the population to the land. This will make these landlord tyrants have nowhere to hide!”
Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and praised loudly. He was too satisfied with the changes in the tax law proposed by Zhu Rong!
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and the others also nodded.
This was definitely an epoch-making reform!
"Prince Yan is a great talent. This idea is definitely a fatal blow to those landlord tyrants and blood-sucking maggots. It will be a great contribution to the Ming Empire!”
Li Shan Zhang stroked his beard and praised, full of admiration for Zhu Rong.
He sighed in his heart that Zhu Rong was really the perfect masterpiece of God's Creator. Not only was his talent in military affairs unparalleled in ancient and modern times, but he was also not inferior to him in political affairs!
Just the change of the population tax to the land tax was enough to go down in history!
"Your Highness, this land tax can effectively combat the landlord tyrants from evading taxes, but it doesn't seem to be able to stop the landlord tyrants from annexing land.”
Liu Bowen asked doubtfully.
Although he was also amazed by the reform, it seemed that the problem had not been solved.
"Lord Liu, don't be anxious. This king hasn't finished speaking.”
Zhu Xi took a sip of tea to moisten her throat before continuing.
"After the new tax law of the Ming Empire is established, father can order the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a population survey and measure the land.”
"Write down the population, fields, houses, and even cattle of every household in each prefecture on paper as a household token!”
"In this way, the population, land, houses, and cattle of every household in each prefecture will be recorded by the government. If those landowners want to occupy the land of the common people and take it for themselves, the government will know once they investigate.”
"The commoners can also use the household post as a basis to sue those landowners who illegally encroach on their fields.”
"The household post system determines the land and property of the commoners. The government can collect taxes according to the household post.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately revealed an excited expression as he couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
"Good, good, good!"
"Once this household subsidy system is implemented, all the land and property of all the people in the Ming Dynasty will be registered and recorded by the government. I want to see what kind of thing dares to encroach on the land of the people!”
"If we find out, we'll kill all of them!”
Because of his background, Zhu Yuanzhang hated these landlord tyrants who invaded the land of the common people the most.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Once this household subsidy system is out, all the landlords and despots in the world will have to consider whether their heads are hard enough.”
Lee Shan Chang said half-jokingly.
"Yes! That's right!"
"The household subsidy system is truly a legal system that sincerely cares for the people. It can effectively prevent the landlord from illegally occupying the people's fields.”
Liu Bowen also nodded his head in admiration. He was completely convinced by Zhu Rong.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, without any objections.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, most of the ministers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang came from poor families, and there were very few people from aristocratic families.
Otherwise, they would have long since stomped their feet!
Whether it was the household subsidy system, the tax reform, or the whip that Zhu Xiong had yet to finish, the ones who suffered the most were the landlord tyrants and aristocratic families!
"With the household subsidy system established, the next step is to collect taxes, which is the core of the whip method.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and the others immediately perked up when they heard this. They looked at Zhu Xi and listened attentively.
When Zhu Xiong saw them, he immediately thought of the primary school students in his previous life, waiting for the teacher to teach.
Zhu Xiong said after organizing his thoughts.
"After the implementation of the household subsidy system, the number of household registration, land, and property of the people in the country have been calculated. However, other than taxes, there are also corvee and other miscellaneous taxes.”
"We can combine these miscellaneous taxes together and collect them in total. We can convert them into taxes according to the land. The grain of each township will be gathered in a county, the grain of each county will be gathered in a prefecture, the grain of each prefecture will be gathered in a prefecture, and the grain of each prefecture will be gathered in a chief secretary.”
"This method of calculating the grain of a province and distributing it evenly is called the One Whip Technique!”
Silence!
After Zhu Xiong finished speaking, the royal study fell silent. Everyone was stunned!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and his double jaw almost popped out!
Lee Shan Zhang's hand that was stroking his beard had unknowingly grabbed his own beard, and the flesh on his chin had been pulled out!
Liu Bowen didn't know when he had stopped waving the feather fan in his hand!
Shocking!
Exclaimed!
Admiration!
All kinds of emotions appeared on their faces!
After a long time…
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. His face was filled with ecstasy.”
"This whip law not only simplify the tax system, but it is also very convenient to collect. With the household subsidy system, it will be even more difficult for the local officials to cheat!”
"In this way, the commoners can farm in peace and eat their fill through their hard work.”
"This is a system that really cares for the people!”
"My son Zhu Xi has the potential of a Saint King!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong, his eyes filled with incomparable pride. This son is really too talented. I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am so lucky to have such a Qilin son!
"Your Highness, the King of Yan, is a genius. We admire you!”
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and the six ministers all bowed deeply to Zhu Xiong to express their admiration.
Eat spicy food!
He was truly convinced!
They felt that Zhu Rong was as perfect as a demon!
On the battlefield, he was invincible and created miracles in every direction!
In the officialdom, he could suppress the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and the six ministers, proposing epoch-making legal reforms!
This was simply the son of heaven!
The ministers looked at the high-spirited Zhu Rong, then at Zhu Biao, who had not made any sense of presence the entire time. They felt a little enlightened. It was as if Zhu Biao was the younger brother, and Zhu Rong was the crown prince!
The difference between the two was simply too great!
"Alright, that's all for today's discussion.”
"After we return, Shan Chang, your Ministry of Central Affairs will analyze and summarize Third Brother's words for us. Make a memorial and hand it over to us. As soon as possible, implement the household subsidy system and the one-whip law throughout the Ming Dynasty!”
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Third Brother.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered the crowd to leave.
"This lowly subject obeys!"
"We will take our leave!"
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and the others stood up and bowed before taking their leave.
After everyone left, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were left in the room.
"Biao Er, do you feel that your third brother is too outstanding and has threatened your position as the Crown Prince?”Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a complicated gaze and asked in a worried voice.
Zhu Rong's excellence had far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
In the past, he didn't think much of it during the war. Now that the Ming Dynasty was unified and the world was at peace, Zhu Xi's contributions were unparalleled and he had conquered almost half of the Ming Dynasty!
Outside of the court, the Third Prince Zhu Rong's name resounded like thunder, and everyone knew about him.
However, the name of Crown Prince Zhu Biao was not known to many.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little afraid. He was afraid that there would be a rift between his two sons because of this, which would eventually lead to a tragedy of fighting between brothers!
Since ancient times.
Many dynasties fought to the death for the supreme throne.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the atmosphere in the entire royal study became somewhat solemn. This topic was really too sensitive! "Third brother, what is this? What is a whip?"
"Quick, tell me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong and urged him with a voice full of hope.
He knew that his son had been gifted since he was a child. Not only was he born with extraordinary strength and martial arts, but he was also exceptionally intelligent and imaginative. Even Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, the two strategists, often sighed that they were inferior.

"After the new tax law of the Ming Empire is established, father can order the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a population survey and measure the land.”
"Write down the population, fields, houses, and even cattle of every household in each prefecture on paper as a household token!”
"In this way, the population, land, houses, and cattle of every household in each prefecture will be recorded by the government. If those landowners want to occupy the land of the common people and take it for themselves, the government will know once they investigate.”
"The commoners can also use the household post as a basis to sue those landowners who illegally encroach on their fields.”
"The household post system determines the land and property of the commoners. The government can collect taxes according to the household post.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately revealed an excited expression as he couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer.
"Good, good, good!"
"Once this household subsidy system is implemented, all the land and property of all the people in the Ming Dynasty will be registered and recorded by the government. I want to see what kind of thing dares to encroach on the land of the people!”
"If we find out, we'll kill all of them!”
Because of his background, Zhu Yuanzhang hated these landlord tyrants who invaded the land of the common people the most.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Once this household subsidy system is out, all the landlords and despots in the world will have to consider whether their heads are hard enough.”
Lee Shan Chang said half-jokingly.
"Yes! That's right!"
"The household subsidy system is truly a legal system that sincerely cares for the people. It can effectively prevent the landlord from illegally occupying the people's fields.”
Liu Bowen also nodded his head in admiration. He was completely convinced by Zhu Rong.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, without any objections.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, most of the ministers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang came from poor families, and there were very few people from aristocratic families.
Otherwise, they would have long since stomped their feet!
Whether it was the household subsidy system, the tax reform, or the whip that Zhu Xiong had yet to finish, the ones who suffered the most were the landlord tyrants and aristocratic families!
"With the household subsidy system established, the next step is to collect taxes, which is the core of the whip method.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and the others immediately perked up when they heard this. They looked at Zhu Xi and listened attentively.
When Zhu Xiong saw them, he immediately thought of the primary school students in his previous life, waiting for the teacher to teach.
Zhu Xiong said after organizing his thoughts.
"After the implementation of the household subsidy system, the number of household registration, land, and property of the people in the country have been calculated. However, other than taxes, there are also corvee and other miscellaneous taxes.”
"We can combine these miscellaneous taxes together and collect them in total. We can convert them into taxes according to the land. The grain of each township will be gathered in a county, the grain of each county will be gathered in a prefecture, the grain of each prefecture will be gathered in a prefecture, and the grain of each prefecture will be gathered in a chief secretary.”
"This method of calculating the grain of a province and distributing it evenly is called the One Whip Technique!”
Silence!
After Zhu Xiong finished speaking, the royal study fell silent. Everyone was stunned!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, his mouth agape, and his double jaw almost popped out!
Lee Shan Zhang's hand that was stroking his beard had unknowingly grabbed his own beard, and the flesh on his chin had been pulled out!
Liu Bowen didn't know when he had stopped waving the feather fan in his hand!
Shocking!
Exclaimed!
Admiration!
All kinds of emotions appeared on their faces!
After a long time…
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. His face was filled with ecstasy.”
"This whip law not only simplify the tax system, but it is also very convenient to collect. With the household subsidy system, it will be even more difficult for the local officials to cheat!”
"In this way, the commoners can farm in peace and eat their fill through their hard work.”
"This is a system that really cares for the people!”
"My son Zhu Xi has the potential of a Saint King!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong, his eyes filled with incomparable pride. This son is really too talented. I, Zhu Yuanzhang, am so lucky to have such a Qilin son!
"Your Highness, the King of Yan, is a genius. We admire you!”
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and the six ministers all bowed deeply to Zhu Xiong to express their admiration.
Eat spicy food!
He was truly convinced!
They felt that Zhu Rong was as perfect as a demon!
On the battlefield, he was invincible and created miracles in every direction!
In the officialdom, he could suppress the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and the six ministers, proposing epoch-making legal reforms!
This was simply the son of heaven!
The ministers looked at the high-spirited Zhu Rong, then at Zhu Biao, who had not made any sense of presence the entire time. They felt a little enlightened. It was as if Zhu Biao was the younger brother, and Zhu Rong was the crown prince!
The difference between the two was simply too great!
"Alright, that's all for today's discussion.”
"After we return, Shan Chang, your Ministry of Central Affairs will analyze and summarize Third Brother's words for us. Make a memorial and hand it over to us. As soon as possible, implement the household subsidy system and the one-whip law throughout the Ming Dynasty!”
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask Third Brother.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and ordered the crowd to leave.
"This lowly subject obeys!"
"We will take our leave!"
Li Shan Chang, Liu Bowen, and the others stood up and bowed before taking their leave.
After everyone left, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were left in the room.
"Biao Er, do you feel that your third brother is too outstanding and has threatened your position as the Crown Prince?”Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a complicated gaze and asked in a worried voice.
Zhu Rong's excellence had far exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations.
In the past, he didn't think much of it during the war. Now that the Ming Dynasty was unified and the world was at peace, Zhu Xi's contributions were unparalleled and he had conquered almost half of the Ming Dynasty!
Outside of the court, the Third Prince Zhu Rong's name resounded like thunder, and everyone knew about him.
However, the name of Crown Prince Zhu Biao was not known to many.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little afraid. He was afraid that there would be a rift between his two sons because of this, which would eventually lead to a tragedy of fighting between brothers!
Since ancient times.
Many dynasties fought to the death for the supreme throne.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the atmosphere in the entire royal study became somewhat solemn. This topic was really too sensitive!
