Chapter 451: Father-Son Dialogue! Dad Has Been Watching You Since He Was a Child!
Latest website:
Zhu Gaoxu had just walked out of the palace gate.
Little Sniffle came over in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han! The Emperor has summoned you to the palace for an audience!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu stopped immediately.
Zhu Di summoned himself?
at this time?
hiss……
Doesn't this thief want to beat himself up?
Subconsciously, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked away, speeding up his pace as if he didn't hear him.
However, Little Nose shouted in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Han! His Majesty said that if you dare not go today, you will be sent to Fengyang tomorrow..."
Zhu Gaoxu: "!!!"
Oh my god!
This damn thief!
Things are starting to happen again, right?
Why did Fengyang bury your ancestral graves and you had to let me go over and watch?
If Zhu Di had said these words before, the iron-clad Prince Han would not be afraid at all.
But with the current relationship between father and son, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was still necessary to visit the palace.
Well, this is not cowardice, but sincerity.
If Zhu Di is really cruel and sends him to Fengyang, it will be great fun.
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu turned around helplessly and followed Little Nose to get scolded.
Sure enough, before Zhu Gaojiu entered the door, he heard His Majesty the Emperor scolding him fiercely.
For a moment, Prince Han really wanted to turn around and run away.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Gaoxu, is here to see you!"
No way, he should die and be buried.
Zhu Gaoxu forced himself to kneel on the ground and bowed angrily.
Emperor Yongle, who had been cursing with his hands on his hips, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground when he saw this rebellious man.
After kicking him up, Zhu Di felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he kicked him up again.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu simply stopped getting up and lay on the ground pretending to be dead, glancing at Emperor Yongle from the corner of his eye from time to time.
"Rebellious son!"
"You traitor!"
"Did Yongle just support you stinky Qiuba this time?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly shocked.
The two characters "Qiu Ba" together form the character "bing", so this is a derogatory term for soldiers and ruffians, which is often used by civil servants and gentry.
He, Zhu Gaoxu, had been marching and fighting with Zhu Di since he was a child, so Zhu Di now calls him a stinker. There is nothing wrong with this.
However, this Emperor Yongle just said "you guys", not "you"!
Zhu Di, this thief, is suspicious of military attachés and ministers!
After all, not long ago, Xue Lu, Liu Sheng and other military attachés and ministers, in order to protect themselves from being deposed as common people, went out one by one to openly express their stance.
Even Xue Lu's words had a vague intention of threatening Emperor Yongle with soldiers!
Although Xue Lu may have made an unintentional mistake, you can't stop Zhu Di from thinking about it!
Emperors are ruthless people. It is their nature to be mean, unkind, suspicious and jealous!
Damn it, if Zhu Di had murderous intentions towards Xue Lu, Liu Sheng and the others, then the Yongle Dynasty would probably have a "Blue Jade Case" similar to the Hongwu Dynasty!
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became anxious.
"Dad, I, this 'stinky Qiuba', have saved you many times on the battlefield!"
"Xue Lu, Liu Sheng and others, as well as Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, who are not raising their heads to follow you, Jing Nan, to raise troops and seize the country?"
"Now that you have secured your position as emperor, you have begun to call us 'stinky Qiu Ba'. Isn't that a bit ungrateful?"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then became furious.
ungrateful?
This traitor still dares to scold himself?
"You beast..."
"Okay, old man, let's get down to business!"
Seeing Zhu Di raising his foot again and preparing to kick someone, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly changed the subject, fearing that he would be kicked a few more times.
"Business?" Zhu Di glanced at him coldly, "You have a damn business!"
"Dad, do you still remember the carve-up theory I told you before?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face suddenly changed slightly and he nodded subconsciously.
The "carve-up theory" mentioned by the second son is, to put it bluntly, the annexation of land by the rural gentry.
Because of the existence of the imperial examination system, more and more scholars will gain fame and become gentry, and then begin to find ways to annex fields for personal gain. As a result, there will be fewer and fewer real farmers and more and more land that the court can tax. The less!
It was precisely based on this that Emperor Yongle always kept this matter in his heart.
Now as soon as his second son brought it up, he immediately corrected his attitude and was ready to listen.
"Do you have a way to solve this hidden danger?"
Yes, it must be solved!
Zhu Di, as the Yongle Emperor who was a generation of literary and martial arts masters, naturally knew that the "divide theory" of his second brother was not a groundless worry, but a serious national disaster that was occurring and would become more severe!
If these gentry are allowed to annex the fields, the court will have no taxes to collect, and the people will lose their fields and harvest!
The court had no money, the people had no money, and all the money and food went into the pockets of these gentry!
Such a deformed dynasty is destined to collapse!
After all, the court does not even have money or food, let alone raising soldiers and divisions. The people will be completely disappointed with such a court, and even turn into deep hatred!
At that time, Ming Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the former Yuan Dynasty.
The refugees and hungry people had no way out, and they rose up in despair. Rebellions and uprisings continued in various places, and the court was unable to suppress them. In the end, the great country was ruined!
Therefore, this country's major problem must be solved before it takes shape!
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu with hope, UU reading www.uukanshu.net The latter first stood up with a smile, patted his butt, and then sat on the brocade stool.
"Dad, it's not difficult to solve this problem, but the difficulty lies in how to do taxation well."
"How to collect taxes reasonably can increase revenue for the court without increasing the burden on the people's shoulders. This is a profound knowledge that requires careful study."
Increase fiscal revenue for the court?
Will it not increase the burden on the people?
Is there really such a good way to get the best of both worlds?
As soon as Zhu Di heard what the King of Han said, his eyes lit up immediately and he sat opposite Zhu Gaoxu.
"Second brother, my father has known that you are a good boy since he was a child. Please tell me carefully!"
There is no way. Although he, Zhu Di, is a master of martial arts and martial arts, when it comes to finance and taxation, he really has a dark eye and doesn't know anything.
Otherwise, he would not have gone on many personal expeditions and left the mess of money and food to the prince Zhu Gaochi.
To put it bluntly, the wise and mighty Emperor Yongle just didn’t quite understand.
If it weren't for the financial and taxation expert Xia Yuanji, it is still unknown whether Zhu Di could complete his civil and martial arts.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed.
"Don't worry, dad, please call Xia Yuanji and Zhou Chen over. After all, they are finance and taxation experts, and they can also verify my son's statement from the outside."
Zhu Di nodded when he heard this. He still fully recognized his little abacus ability.
"Who is that? Rumor has it that Xia Yuanji and Zhou Chen are here!"
"By the way, call the prince and grandson here too!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Di with a half-smile, and the latter's old face turned red under his gaze.
"Dad, there is one more thing."
"If you fart, hurry up!"
"I didn't have breakfast today, I'm a little hungry."
