Chapter 371: Acting Minister Of The Ministry Of Household Affairs: When Did I Say That I Would Use M
The second thing is that the Minister of Revenue "takes the initiative" to propose:
"In order to make it easier for the Ministry of Household Affairs to compile statistics on the land tax across the country and for local officials to collect the land tax, the Ministry of Household Affairs proposes to abolish the preferential policy of exempting people from the land tax for members of the royal family, civil and military officials, and even scholars!"
"Instead, we will directly reissue the corresponding cash that should be exempted from the land tax according to the number of acres under each person's name!!!"
As soon as this proposal came out, all the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
Before all the civil and military officials could express their objections, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes had already stepped forward to express their agreement with the proposal of acting as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and their willingness to name themselves. The number of acres of land is recorded in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Just when all the civil and military officials were about to speak out to object, Zhu Biao's gentle and kind voice had already sounded:
"The Ministry of Household Affairs does not have enough manpower. Every time the land tax is calculated, it is necessary to exclude the exempted land tax for royal family members, civil and military officials, Jinshi, Juren, scholars, etc., and then conduct statistical verification. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent.”
“How many nights, when I passed by the Household Department inadvertently, all I saw was the Household Department with bright lights, people coming and going, and busy business.”
"That scene really made Gu couldn't help but lament the hard work and busyness of the Department of Revenue. Now that there is an opportunity to reduce the work pressure of the Department of Revenue, as the prince, Gu naturally has to sympathize with and support the Department of Revenue!!!"
Seeing Prince Zhu Biao telling lies with his eyes open, all the civil and military officials present were stunned.
He's a "613" mother, not to mention that Liubu basically doesn't have the habit of working night shifts.
Even if it were true, the six ministries of the imperial court were outside the palace and the East Palace. As the prince, how could Zhu Biao "accidentally" pass by the household department at night?!!
How can we "accidentally" see the brightly lit household department with people coming and going and busy affairs?!!
However, even though all the civil and military officials complained about Prince Zhu Biao thousands of times in their hearts, in the face of Prince Zhu Biao's compassionate behavior, all the civil and military officials had to speak in unison:
"The prince's kind heart is truly a blessing to the country!!!"
One of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue even fell to the ground and cried:
"The prince is compassionate and kind, and I am deeply grateful. I am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty till my death!!!"
As soon as Prince Zhu Biao finished speaking, the majestic, cold and arrogant voice of King Qin Zhu Fang immediately sounded:
"Brother is right. Every time the world's land tax is levied, local officials have to confirm that the royal family members, civil and military officials, Jinshi, Juren, scholars and other people should be exempted from the land tax."
"Not only did it consume more manpower, it also resulted in the under-collection and omission of taxes on many acres of land!"
"Today, in order to save more manpower and material resources, we can better ensure that all the land tax due from all over the world is collected!!"
"The plan is to directly abolish the preferential treatment policy of exemption from land tax for the royal family members, middle-level civil and military officials, and down to the scholars, and replace it with the plan to directly reissue the corresponding cash money that should be exempted from land tax according to the number of acres of land under their respective names. It couldn’t be more appropriate!!!”
"I strongly support this plan of the Ministry of Household Affairs!!!"
After Qin King Zhu Xi appeared, the expressions of all the civil and military officials who had all praised Prince Zhu Biao for his kindness changed, and they all caught Qin Wang Zhu Xi and said:
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is wrong. How could he know that this plan of the Ministry of Household Affairs would save more manpower and material resources?!!"
“If this plan consumes more manpower and material resources, wouldn’t it increase the workload of the Ministry of Household Affairs?!!”
"That's right. Originally, local officials only needed to collect taxes on the land of local people, but now they have to collect taxes on the land of all the royal family members, civil and military officials, Jinshi, people, and scholars!!!"
"As more acres of land are expropriated, wouldn't it require more manpower and material resources?!!"
A group of civil and military officials caught Qin Wang Zhu Di and bombarded him hard.
They did not dare to criticize Zhu Biao. After all, Zhu Biao still held a heavy weight in their hearts as the crown prince for so many years.
But this is not the case with Qin King Zhu Zhen. Although he is now a fake prince, his status is the same as that of Prince Zhu Biao.
But in their hearts, what is fake is fake, and they do not have the same awe for King Zhu Ping of Qin as they do for Prince Zhu Biao.
Seeing all the civil and military officials gathered to attack Qin King Zhu Di, Jin King Zhu Fan on the other side immediately took a step forward, looked at all the civil and military officials with a half-smile and said:
"Collection and statistics of taxes, money and grain are what the Ministry of Household Affairs is good at!!!"
"Since the Ministry of Household Affairs has announced the abolition of the preferential policy of exempting land tax from the land tax for royal family members, civil and military officials, Jinshi, Juren, and scholars, it will instead directly issue the corresponding cash money that should be exempted from the land tax according to the number of acres under their respective names. , can save more manpower and material resources.”
"Then this plan will definitely save more manpower and material resources!!!"
"The ministers have doubts about this plan. Do they think they are better at collecting taxes, money, and statistics than the ministers in the Ministry of Household Affairs?!!"
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be better if I ask my father to appoint you and others as officials in the Household Department?!"
Faced with the strange words of King Zhu Fan of Jin, the other officials from the five departments of the imperial court immediately felt a lump in their throats.
They questioned that there were problems with the plan proposed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, while King Zhu Gang of Jin questioned that they were not as professional as the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
After all, if they were professionals, then they would not be in the other five departments, but in the household department.
Of course, it is also possible that they are really more professional than the household department.
But if they are really more professional than the Hu Bu, then Jin Wang Zhu Fan will ask Zhu Yuanzhang to transfer them to the Hu Bu as officials.
From official to official, this is not promotion, but demotion!!!
Who among his grandmothers dares to say that he is more professional than the household department?!!
King Yan Zhu Di, who was also standing on the other side, also glanced at the civil and military ministers, with a smile on his lips, but said in a cold tone:
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has already said that it will directly reissue the corresponding cash that should be exempted from the land tax according to the number of acres under each person's name."
"This in and out is just a way of returning the land tax that you should be exempted from to everyone. You should think that you have no losses.
"And if there is no loss to you, then why don't you agree?!!"
"Or, in fact, you have secretly accepted other people's land and acres of land as donations, or you have registered acres of land from other wealthy gentry and wealthy households.
"Use this to evade the collection of imperial taxes and then profit from it yourself?!!"
As soon as King Yan Zhu Di said these words, all the civil and military officials present shook their heads and denied:
"Of course I have not done anything illegal!!!"
Just kidding, who among his mothers would dare to admit in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that he had accepted other people’s land and acres of land as donations, or that he had registered his name on the acres of land from other wealthy gentry and wealthy households?!!
It was like lighting a lantern in the latrine, I died!!!
It doesn't matter if these things are done in private, but once they are brought out in the open and in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, it will really be a prelude to death!!!
Other emperors may not trouble them for such trivial matters, but Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely kill them because of these things!!!
Therefore, no matter whether you have accepted other people's land and acres of land as donations, or whether you have registered acres of land from other wealthy gentry and wealthy households, you must now fight to death!!!
Standing next to Yan Wang Zhu Di, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji looked at the civil and military officials under the Dan steps and said in a leisurely tone:
"Since the Ministry of Revenue's plan has not harmed the interests of the ministers in the court, and the Ministry of Revenue has guaranteed that the implementation of this plan can further improve the efficiency of the court's tax collection and save more human and material resources."
"Then why do you still oppose the proposal of the Ministry of Revenue?!!"
"Besides, the acting minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs has already used his own head to guarantee the implementation of this method. Within three years, the results will be seen!!!"
"If it doesn't work, then we can just hold him accountable."
"Why are you dissatisfied with this?"
"You think so, Dai Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs?!!"
Hearing the words of Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, the eyes of the acting minister of the Ministry of Households almost stared out of his eyes...
When did he say that he would use his own head to guarantee the implementation of this method, and that it would be effective within three years?!!
He never said such words at all, okay?!
Don't even say words like using your head as a guarantee.
Even the plan to "abolish the preferential policy of exempting land tax from the land tax for the royal family members, civil and military officials, Jinshi, Juren, and scholars, and replace it with the land tax exemption policy directly based on the number of acres under their respective names, and then reissue the corresponding cash that should be exempted from the land tax" The princes all gave it to him and asked him to "take the initiative" to play!!!
But when facing the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc., they were either gentle and calm, or majestic and cold, or smiling but not smiling, or their eyes were cold, or their gazes contained laughter.
In the end, Dai Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance knelt down on the ground and said directly:
"right!"
"That's right!!"
"Wei Chen is willing to use his own head as a guarantee to implement this method. Within three years, results will be seen!!!"
"If not, I will die to apologize!!!"
Now that things have happened, the acting minister of household affairs has understood that he is just a pawn, and he just needs to do the things assigned to him by the princes.
At least if you do it well, then maybe your acting minister of household affairs may become the real minister of household affairs.
If you don't do it well, then even if you don't say anything like using your head to guarantee it, you might die one day because of other trivial things.
Therefore, the acting minister of the Ministry of Finance also just lay down and did whatever the princes said.
Faced with the reasons given by the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and the acting minister of the Ministry of Revenue even vouched for his own life.
Even if a group of civil and military ministers wanted to oppose this proposal again, they could not find a better reason to oppose it.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne, nodded with satisfaction as he watched his sons on the Dan steps swaying around and subduing all the civil and military officials.
I have to say that when my sons are of the same mind and have the same will, they can really help him share a lot of troubles.
If something like today happened in the past, he might have to go out and fight with a bunch of civil and military officials.
But now there is no need for him to take action personally. The words of his sons have already silenced all the civil and military officials.
[But unfortunately, in a few days, the boss and the others will go to the county to govern. 】
After feeling slightly melancholy for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the speechless expressions of all the civil and military officials of His Highness, and said with finality:
"Okay, since the ministers have no objections, then the matter will be decided on 1.1."
"This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for implementation. After the next court, within three days, all ministers will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to register the number of acres of land under their names!!!"
"In addition, in
Let me remind you again that the number of acres of land each of you has under your name is also recorded by Yuanshi in the Ministry of Household Affairs!!!"
"Don't think that just by reporting a number, you can deceive the Ministry of Finance and you can deceive us!!!"
"If there is a big gap between the number of acres of land you reported and the number of acres of land originally recorded by the Ministry of Household Affairs, then we have to ask School Disciple to check the extra acres you have.
Where did these acres of land come from!!!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's last words, all the civil and military officials secretly complained in their hearts, but they had to bow and respond:
"Yes, I obey His Majesty's will!!!"
When all the civil and military officials finished bowing and saluting and stood up again, they all looked at the acting minister of the Ministry of Revenue with an unkind look on their faces.
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes did not dare to bear grudges, but the acting minister of the Ministry of Revenue would inevitably be grudged by them.
After all, in the final analysis, he is just an acting minister, not the real minister of household affairs. They still have the courage to hate an acting minister of household affairs.
