Back to the Ming Dynasty, I became a foolish monarch. Chapter 303. The land tax in the village should be handed over to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The British Duke Zhang Weixian also realized that the civil servants were not at ease. Obviously, they were doing something. If any second-hand man came forward and said something, it would be too late.

Anyway, since things have come to this point, there is no way out, so I will simply not retreat.

So Zhang Weixian took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian and said, "Your dear, you have nothing to say, but it's okay."

Zhu Youxiao really wanted to hear what Zhang Weixian was going to say.

After all, this will cause a severance to the civil servant. If he doesn't say anything, he will definitely feel unhappy. So Zhu Youxiao has no intention of not letting him say it, just hope he doesn't say it too much.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Weixian smiled and took a step forward and said, "After being a meritorious, we have been deeply grateful to the emperor for generations, so we naturally understand how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Although there are also disdainful children in the family, they are the minority after all. Most people still know to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and at the same time they know the current situation of the court."

"So, I am willing to pay taxes on the land, which is my duty. Not to mention that it is just those taxes, even if it is to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, I am willing to do so."

"As for what you guys said just now, I think it's a bit too much, so don't do this in the court. I just did some duty and should not be praised like this. As long as the Ming Dynasty can prosper and Your Majesty can be healthy, it will be a blessing for us ministers."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian, nodded gently and said, "My dear ministers and loyalty to the country, this is a blessing for the country and the country of Ming Dynasty! Good, very good!"

After hearing the British Duke's words, the civil servants were like eating flies. They thought that the nobles and relatives would make trouble, but who thought they would admit defeat?

Fortunately, the goal has been achieved, and everyone is not in that bad mood. The next thing is more important, so there is no need to get involved in this matter.

When Zhang Weixian retreated, he looked at the civil servant.

He was so angry that he felt so angry.

This matter is not over. After we finish, you just want to withdraw like this?

There is no door! I will find them all one day sooner or later!

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the British Duke, then at the civil servants opposite him, nodded gently and said, "Then let's discuss how to collect taxes. I wonder what your dear friends have?"

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi was the first to stand up.

He walked forward a few steps and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Your dear has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"Report to Your Majesty, I think the land tax of the land of the nobles and nobles should not be paid to the local government office. After all, the status of officials and titles between the local government office and the nobles and nobles is much different, and it is difficult to collect taxes. If there is any chaos, it is probably difficult to handle."

"So I think it's better to hand over this matter to the Ministry of Revenue, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue's specialist, and the collected silver will be directly rushed into the Ministry of Revenue's bank treasury. In this way, public and private are both good."

"Gemaster Xu, isn't it right to do this?"

Before Xu Guangqi could speak, Huang Kezhang had already stood up.

At this time, we can no longer let others talk. Since it is a war between the cabinet masters, it would be bad to let others get involved.

So Huang Kezhang said: "Whether it is transportation or collection, it requires a large number of personnel. Does Master Xu want to use more officials?"

"Ge Lao Xu should still remember the matter of former Official Song Rong?"

"I already had a well-functioning system, but now I have to add another set of people suddenly. Isn't it too much for people to get out of the way?"

After saying this, Huang Kezhang turned to look at Zhu Youxiao and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a big mistake. The tax system of the imperial court is very sound, so it is unnecessary to add a set of people. Although it is the tax on land for the nobles and honorary relatives, this time it was voluntarily made by the nobles and honorary relatives. I think they will not fail to cooperate, and there will be no matter how difficult it is for local officials to collect. So you can just hand it over to the local officials."

If the Ministry of Revenue was asked to create such a group of people, then these groups would only be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue and no one could intervene. This is something that others would not want to see, so Huang Kezhang stood up and opposed it.

You know, the court is now very vigilant about the yamen outside the establishment.

The Tongzheng Department was created before and it made people feel furious. Now it has given the yamen that collects farmland tax to the Ministry of Revenue. Who knows what will happen in the future?

What if one day they are not in a good mood and want to take over all the taxes in the world?

That is not impossible. Everyone knows what the tax is like in the world now.

With Xu Guangqi's character, it's not that he can't do such things. So just strangle them to death.

Even if I really want to do this, I will only do it.

Zhu Youxiaod's eyes swept over Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi, with no expression on his face.

Obviously, this kind of struggle between civil servants cannot be investigated, and it is impossible to eliminate it.

Where there are people, there is a dispute over interests.

Whether for selfish interests, for family and country feelings, or for the ambitions in your heart, this kind of struggle will never stop.

Seeing the two cabinet masters fighting, the others stopped talking.

All the civil servants present knew that they could not interrupt at this time, otherwise they might become cannon fodder.

Even Choi Chengxiu hides backwards. Now it’s best if no one can see me.

But some people are not afraid of this, this person is the Duke of England.

He was already very dissatisfied with these civil servants just now. He thought the matter had come to an end, but Huang Kezhang still talked about people like him and pulled himself out at any time, and he was too disgusted with himself.

After taking a look at Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Weixian felt more determined in his mind.

Now, you either try it or admit defeat. If you don’t try it, you will feel unwilling!

Zhang Weixian took a decisive step forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

These words surprised everyone, including Zhu Youxiao.

There was nothing in his plan, but he wanted to hear what Zhang Weixian wanted to say.

So Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "What do you mean by my dear, but it's okay to say it."

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it can be collected by the Governor's Office of the Five Army." Zhang Weixian said slowly: "The land tax of the nobles and the Governor's Office of the Five Army is the money of our generals. It is just right to let the Governor's Office of the Five Army collect it. What Mr. Xu said naturally would not happen. Isn't this a killing of two birds with one stone?"

"When the silver is collected, it can be used to repair military weapons and arm soldiers. In recent years, there have been many border affairs, and there are still no peace in various places. It is time to take out some silver. Moreover, the imperial court also needs money to train troops, so why not just use this money?"

"In this way, the Ministry of Revenue will save the allocation and save a lot of trouble. At the same time, the Ministry of Revenue can also be used in other places. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. If there is a surplus of spending every year in the Governor's Office, it can be kept for next year's spending; if it still cannot be spent, it can be transported to the Ministry of Revenue to another place for the spending."

After Zhang Weixian said this, the eyes of the nobles and Xunqi, who were standing behind him, lit up.

This is indeed a very good idea!

If the Governor's Office of the Five Army is asked to collect taxes on farmland, then this is a yamen related to him, which can be more or less able to speak, and many things will be easier to handle.

And spending the collected money will also be spent on the Governor's Office of the Five Army, which means that the people who serve in the Governor's Office of the Five Army may be able to get some back.

This may not necessarily cost so much, this is a good thing!

It is better to use this money on yourself than to embezzle the civil servants.

So the nobles and Xunqin both thought this idea was good. Many of them made money by pointing to the military. If the money was spent on the military, they might be able to make more money.

The Marquis of Xining took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a great good move! The Duke of England is worthy of being a pillar of the country, and what he said is the old city's advice on planning the country! If this move can be implemented, our Ming Dynasty will be strong and strong, and the border troubles can be solved. At the same time, the people and horses in various places also have good equipment. Wouldn't it be easy to suppress the rebellion and suppress the bandits?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xining Hou with a smile on his face, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.

Do you really think that money is all about fighting?

It’s not okay to have no money in war, but money is not a decisive factor. Especially in this era of cold weapons, money is not that important. If you give this money, you will not be able to win the battle.

However, Zhang Weixian's idea is interesting, and may be quite feasible. At least after collecting the money, it will be in the hands of the Five Army Governor's Office, which is equivalent to being in his own hands. At that time, he can use this money to train troops.

Even if it is used to train the navy in the future, the money can be used. There is no need to complain to the people of the Ministry of Revenue. As long as who will agree to the Five Army Governor's Office.

The civil servant felt a sudden slap in his heart. No one expected that Zhang Weixian would be stabbed in the back. Moreover, this time was accurate and very good, and the time to choose was very good.

The civil servants are fighting very hard, and neither Xu Guangqi nor Huang Kezhang can be jealous of face, so they simply don’t give anyone any face. This is not impossible.

"I think this matter is inappropriate."

At this time, Shen Tingjun, Minister of Rites, stood up.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, if the Governor's Office of the Five Army collects taxes, there may be omissions. After all, there are people in it, and under the protection of this official, he will hide the land."

"Mr. Shen, what you said is wrong." Zhang Weixian stared at her eyes and retorted: "We voluntarily offered this tax. You just said that we are loyal to the country and that we are very wise, why did we understand us with the thoughts of villains in the blink of an eye?"

"If we don't want to pay, we don't have to take it out. Since we are willing, why do you say that kind of deceitful villain is dirty?"
