Zhu Song shook his head: "Your Majesty, I think the people in Jiangnan are also people. Although the people in Jiangnan provinces reduced taxes during the founding of Wen Dynasty, now it is the Yongle Dynasty and the new dynasty is first established, so we should not increase taxes in southern provinces for this reason."

"Especially there are many officials in the provinces in the court, and most of the gentry in the world come from Jiangnan. If we are collecting taxes from various provinces in Jiangnan at this time, it will probably be unfavorable to the stability of the court."

Zhu Di nodded in agreement and let out a long sigh.

"I have always looked down on these gentry clans in Jiangnan and those rich businessmen. It was the gentry clans and wealthy businessmen who had raised money to the court and supported the court."

"But what you are right. The people in Jiangnan are also people. If we want money, we cannot search for these sufferings."

"So the most urgent thing is salt tax. If we can raise the salt tax in the past few years, there is no need to be too much. As long as there are 10 million taels, we will collect taxes in the next year. If the treasury has money, it will naturally not have to be so cramped."

"At this time, the salt tax person sent the salt inspector to the scene, probably because he couldn't collect it. Although those greedy guys, although they are not loyal to Jianwen, I think they may not be loyal to me, so it's too soft and too hard, so I plan to leave this problem to you."

After hearing this, Zhu Song smiled bitterly. As expected, he guessed it was almost the same as he had guessed, and the problem that should come still came.

However, the current treasury is not rich, and it is a big problem. If the head of the country has no money, it will be 1,000 and 10,000. Therefore, the salt tax must be collected and it must be collected.

Otherwise, the officials and men in the court will suffer the people again. Today, they suffer the people and tomorrow they suffer the people. What is this called?

"Your Majesty, I understand. The emperor is planning to let me use the Jinyiwei to do things that are not as hard as the Jinyiwei. Naturally, it should not be too soft. It should be from top to bottom. Whether it is the officials in charge of taxes in various provinces in Jiangnan, or the salt merchants who should pay taxes, they should carefully scrape them from top to bottom and give them the money they should have to hand over. Is this what it means?"

Zhu Di nodded: "The Jinyiwei is in your hands now. If you don't leave this matter to you, who will give it to? And I believe in your ability and will definitely do it clearly."

"By the way, there is news that Hu Shang has appeared in the northwest. Didn't you buy the grain seeds from them? Should you send two people to bring the Hu Shang to Ying Tianlai? Let him hand over all the seeds on him?"

After hearing this, Zhu Song smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is a business. If you use tough means to let others hand over the seeds, can they bring any good things in the future? Hu Shang is probably thinking about the agreement with his ministers. I guess he should be going to Liaodong this time."

"Kaiyuanhou must have crossed the Yangtze River at this time. I guess they might really meet halfway."

Zhu Di agreed: "Don't say it, what you said really makes sense. If you do business, you can't use hard ones, including that corn. I have heard of it. You have to let go of the original waiting to get a few grains and let you try it. I always feel worried when I put that thing in his hand."

Zhu Song bowed and said, "Before Kaiyuan left the capital, I had already told me that after he arrived in Kaiyuan, I would have someone bring the seeds, including me asking him to prepare for trial planting in Kaiyuan. After all, Kaiyuan's land is fertile, which is incomparable to Yingtian."

Zhu Di nodded: "Since you have already arranged it, I won't ask more about it. After all, you are the best at this. After you raise the salt tax this time, there will be no major issues in the court. You can give the rest to Qiantong. You are still in charge of the Jinyiwei, and you are still obsessed with the Jinyiwei, but you have to spend some energy to study the food."

"You have understood the food, which will not only allow the people to have enough food, but also allow the Ming Dynasty's treasury to be more fulfilled. I still have many major things to do, but I can't do anything without money."

"By the way, you, the prince and the Grand Master, have to take time to take a look at the prince. Look at Grand Master, you are an uncle and uncle after all. You, the Grand Master, are not a false position given to you. You have to teach me more or less."

Zhu Song smiled and said, "What can I teach you? At most, I teach you how to farm and recognize grains. These Four Books and Five Classics also have the way of saints, which is not something that my brothers are good at."

"If you call me my grandson the Four Books and Five Classics Saints, I can't believe you. You can teach whatever you want. In short, you are still young. If I leave in the future, you have to assist you, no matter who the throne is." Zhu Di cursed with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhu Song felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier again. Alas, he thought that he had spent his time traveling here and doing his best to make his vassal state well, and finally he was satisfied with everything, but unexpectedly, Jingnan was gone.

I thought that after Zhu Di became the throne, he would always be a free prince. Even if he didn't go back to Kaiyuan, he would admit it. Isn't it a little bit worse to have so much land in the world? Isn't it wrong to take the seeds! But I didn't expect that Zhu Di really used himself.

Zhu Song left the palace and went straight home. At this moment, the sky was getting darker. Zhu Song was about to leave the capital in a few days and went around the provinces in Jiangnan. The salt tax must be collected, not only to collect it, but also to be vigorously promoted.

This will allow everyone in the world to know that the Yongle Dynasty was not the Jianwen Dynasty.

What the Jianwen Dynasty cannot do is our Yongle Dynasty capable of doing, but the Jianwen Dynasty cannot collect taxes, but the Yongle Dynasty can collect taxes. If the Jianwen Dynasty dares to offend people, our Yongle Dynasty dares to offend, and you cannot resist.

Of course, if you just want to offend people, even a three-year-old child can understand this job. The real difficulty lies in how to be tough but not lose people's hearts. This is the real difficulty.

When Zhu Song returned to the palace, he saw his son playing with Niba there. He said that compared to Zhu Zhanji, his son was really in the sky and in the ground.

Zhu Zhanji showed outstanding intelligence at a young age, which is really amazing.

But Zhu Song's son only knows how to play with mud every day. Of course, this child is not a fool, and he is normal to speak and walk. His IQ is not high, but he is not low. He is more fond of playing.
