Whether it is governing a country or managing an organization, the final form is the collision between people and things. Within the prescribed framework, you must follow the tacit rules and do things that are beneficial to you.

This will inevitably involve interests, ideas, emotions, etc.

This emphasizes the necessity of making a circle without rules.

If you are in a turbulent situation under any circumstances, then no one will think about doing things, but think about how to avoid risks and get out of this circle full of threats.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the supreme being, Emperor Chongzhen does have many privileges, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

Checking and balancing the court, killing people, suppressing conservative forces, etc., all require attention to methods.

"Your Majesty... Is the Shuntian government office doing something too radical?" Bi Ziyan, who was under tremendous pressure, finally came to Emperor Chongzhen and expressed his thoughts.

"Nowadays, many ministers are dissatisfied with what Sun Fuyin has done. Although the Chongwenmen tax customs issue is related to the country's tax revenue, but..."

"Bi Qing, are you giving up?"

Emperor Chongzhen lifted his robe sleeves, looked at Bi Ziyan who came uninvited, and said with a smile: "Have some people found Bi Qing?"

No matter what position a person is in or how much power he has, he does not live in a vacuum after all. In this complex world, he will inevitably be affected by various factors.

As a member of the Donglin Party, Bi Ziyan is now re-employed by Emperor Chongzhen and is in charge of household affairs. However, sometimes he cannot ignore it.

"Your Majesty, I will never back down."

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly and explained: "It's just that some of the things Sun Fuyin is doing are indeed not conducive to the stability of the capital.

Now, a lot of businessmen have been arrested in Daelao, Shuntian Prefecture. Although a convenience store that is not mainly for profit has appeared in the capital, the price of grain and salt in the Gyeonggi area are on an unstable trend.

.

if……"

Emperor Chongzhen was aware of what Bi Ziyan said. As a powerful official, the white gloves of the officials and gentry, those arrested merchants were involved in more than just the market in the capital.

In this cannibal world, who can be regarded as a white glove? Who is a good person?

The interests derived from all walks of life under the Ming Dynasty have long been controlled by various power groups and have become their vested interests.

Who could have imagined that in the Ming Dynasty, in terms of tea tax, some places where the tea industry was prosperous and developed could only collect a ridiculously less than a hundred taels of tea tax!?

The collapse of Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue was not without reason.

"Bi Qing, please read this memorial first."

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry. He took out a document that had been checked by Jin Yiwei, handed it to Bi Ziyan, and said: "I believe and trust Bi Qing.

So I don’t want what Bi Qing saw to spread to other countries, so that the country’s tax rectification matters, including many things, will not be able to proceed.”

As the Ming Dynasty's financial minister appointed by Emperor Chongzhen, even though Bi Ziyan was from the Donglin Party, Emperor Chongzhen would still reuse such pragmatic and capable officials.

Officials who deal with the problem rather than the person, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, are good officials if they can help relieve their worries. On the contrary, they should be resolutely suppressed and strangled.

"this……"

After reading the contents of the memorial in his hand, Bi Ziyan looked shocked and looked at Emperor Chongzhen in disbelief. He did not expect that a tax resistance action would involve so many things behind it.

"Can't believe it, right?"

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked towards Bi Ziyan, smiled slightly and said: "To be honest, I didn't believe it until I ordered the Jinyi Guards to investigate these carefully.

But, these are all real facts, and many of the businessmen who were arrested were glamorous on the surface, but secretly committed many illegal and disciplined things.

Trading power for money, using power for personal gain, trampling on law and order...

I can't think of any other words to describe some dynasty bugs, and it even involves many previous dynasty matters. Bi Qing, tell me, are the things Sun Chuanting did radical?"

Bi Ziyan's hands trembled slightly, and he was frightened in his heart. He didn't know what to say at this time, or he never thought that things would be so complicated.

This also made him involuntarily think of the Yuan case supervised by the Jinyi Guards.

The current turmoil that the country is in was intentional from the beginning, and the purpose was to bring out aspects that had not been noticed before.

"Bi Qing, what's the situation in the court? I hope you won't involve too much." Emperor Chongzhen took the memorial from Bi Ziyan's hand, stared at Bi Ziyan with sharp eyes and said, "What's hidden in this

There are too many, so Bi Qing only needs to take care of household affairs.

I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the whole world, no one wants the Ming Dynasty to get better than me, so Bi Qing must stick to his true heart.

Can Bi Qing be able to do a good job in rectifying and reforming taxation so that our country's tax revenue can be improved and solve the root cause of the imbalance of the national treasury's balance of payments?"

The taxation system of the Ming Dynasty was very complicated. The tax collection involved various categories, physical collection, corvee and other aspects. Without corresponding professional management, any adjustment in any sense would be useless.

At least Emperor Chongzhen felt in his heart that he was not as good as Bi Ziyan in being responsible for the taxation of the Ming Dynasty. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

In the context of the financial collapse of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Bi Ziyan's various achievements were very significant, and he worked hard to maintain the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I take back what I said before."

Bi Ziyan looked serious, bowed his hands and said: "On the matter of Chongwenmen tax customs, I am not as thorough as your Majesty, and I don't have as many contacts as Sun Fuyin.

about……"

"Bi Qing, don't talk about this in front of me in the future."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Bi Ziyan's arms, and said: "You and Sun Qing have different divisions of labor, so what you see is different.

Regarding the Chongwenmen tax customs matter, whether we can make a good start will also affect what your household department will do in the future.

So what I want is that Bi Qing should be in charge and Sun Qing should be in charge. If you encounter any problems during the period, you should have more exchanges and discussions.

If the Chongwenmen tax customs issue can be settled as soon as possible, I hope that all tax customs under the Ming Dynasty will be handled strictly in accordance with established experience."

When it comes to sorting out the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen never thought of getting it right in one step. His only request was that in the next five years, the country could basically achieve balance in terms of revenue and expenditure, and not demolish the east wall to pay for the west.
