Chapter 719

After entering Nanjing, the Liu family began to prepare for the founding ceremony and learning from others.

The founding ceremony was to tell the world that the Chinese Empire was established.

It is the consistent practice of all dynasties and the foundation of national stability to learn from scholars.

Whoever becomes an emperor inevitably needs enough supporters to support his regime, otherwise he will not be an emperor.

Was Wang Mang awesome? In terms of the capital and strength of its rebellion, it is better than the Liu family. Rebellion is a matter of turning hands into clouds and covering hands into rain.

However, he did not have enough supporters and formed a class, which easily pushed the whole world against him.

Liu family, he is also aware of this, so they revolt and will attract more people to join their team.

After all, the world is big. There are enough cakes and enough fat meat. The Liu family can't eat it all.

If you swallow it alone, you will choke if you are not sure, so they pull more people to join them. Just like what was said in the crusade against Zhu Mingxi, they invite heroes from all over the world to discuss big plans.

They overthrew the Ming Empire and the government and power system built by the Ming Empire.

This means that they have enough positions, money and all kinds of good things. If they are willing to join their team, they will get benefits, and those who oppose will be hit with all their strength.

It is to bind and deepen their alliance, rebel against the world, fight local tyrants and divide land. This is the most rough way at the beginning, but to have a long-term peace and bind everyone together, what is needed is this way of long-term stability and sharing wealth.

When Liu Yuanqiao entered Nanjing, as in the Tang and Song Dynasties, they selected prime ministers and senior officials through the imperial examination, but they have clear provisions, that is, they are not allowed to control the local government or the central government.

It means that if he has not governed the local government, he is not qualified to govern the central government.

But Daming did the opposite. These local officials basically wouldn't let him enter the cabinet to manage the Minister of State Administration.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi's cheating in the examination field has always been a stain on his career. He was a step away from joining the cabinet several times, but he was pushed out again. This is all because of this.

Now he is the first senior official appointed by Liu Yuanqiao, and he is also an important position as the Minister of rites. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as he became the Minister of rites, he often added the bachelor's title of Dongge, and then he can join the cabinet.

For Liu Yuanqiao's appointment, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He knelt down, knocked his head three times, and said, "I will spare no effort and die."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "excuse me, Mr. Qian! Do I have a good plan for long-term stability in China?"

Qian Qianyi said without hesitation, "as long as your highness makes a joint agreement with the world, governs the world with scholars and bureaucrats, long-term stability is by no means difficult."

To put it bluntly, it's still the old and pedantic way before. Qian Qianyi is an outstanding elite in this era, but he inevitably has the limitations of this era. For example, the golden rules pursued in this era may not be right.

Others dare not say this sentence, but Liu Bu dares to say so. It happens that Liu Bu is also there.

Liu Bu was upset when he heard the other party's nonsense. He said, "if you rule the world with the doctor, you can have long-term peace and stability. But why did Zhu Ming lose his country and have nothing?"

When Liu Bu said this, he asked Qian Qianyi. However, these civil servants ate by mouth. He immediately said, "this is because Zhu Ming did not cultivate benevolence and morality, attracted heaven's blame, the wind and rain were not smooth, the people lost their income year after year, and the road rose..."

Liu Bu said, "Zhu Ming lost his country not because the Emperor didn't practice moral government. In the past, which emperor had the diligence and frugality of emperor Chongzhen. There was none. The weather was still good, and Daming was able to do well. Why is it that the country is about to perish now? It's because of land annexation, overpopulation and grain reduction."

Liu Bu said this, and Qian Qianyi could only say, "the son of God is right."

Qian Qianyi knows that Liu Bu's position in the Chinese empire is equivalent to that of a crown prince. Of course, he doesn't dare to contradict him. Liu Bu is not an ordinary crown prince, but he is a very powerful role. His rights are not necessarily worse than Liu Yuanqiao. He annoys him and has no good fruit to eat.

Liu Bu said, "Zhu Ming also ruled the world with the scholar bureaucrats, and finally lost the world. This shows that this set may not work. My Liu family has won the world, but they all make it clear that this is the world. Everyone has a share, and everyone must contribute to the peace of the world."

Qian Qianyi heard what Liu Bu said, which made him a little confused. He said, "excuse me, old minister, nu dun. I don't know what the son of God meant by this?"

Not only does Qian Qianyi not understand what Liu Bu means, but even Liu Yuanqiao doesn't know what Liu Bu wants to express.

Who can't boast these days? It's only difficult to do practical things. When it comes to the fact that the world is the world, who doesn't say so, it's just difficult to do it.

Liu Bu saluted Liu Yuanqiao and said: "Zhu Ming lost his country. His ministers also studied and found a very important reason. This is that the imperial court is short of money. After the imperial court is short of money, he can't afford the salaries of officials, and the military pay is also unable to fight, which makes him poorer and weaker. However, Daming is still that Daming, which has not reduced more than half of the land, but it is so poor that there is no food Why, why? "

Qian Qianyi said, "this is mainly because he does not practice morality and government, is mean and ungrateful, appoints treacherous officials, corrupt officials, angers heaven, and leads to wind and rain..."

Liu Bu said: "The bad weather has little to do with the emperor. I can't say, but one thing is certain. Daming is so short of money. This is because there are a large group of people who evade taxes and refuse to pay taxes. This group of people are mainly the dignitaries and officials of Daming. The officials take the lead in tax evasion, resulting in a reduction in the tax revenue of the imperial court. Therefore, the first thing in China must be clear This is that officials and the people pay taxes in the same proportion. No matter who, as long as they are the people of our Chinese Empire, they must pay taxes. "

Qian Qianyi didn't like this sentence. He said, "if officials pay taxes like the people, how can he have money to study at ease, and how can he have time to think about serving the country?"

Liu Bu said, "my child means that those who are officials will have salaries. Their salaries certainly do not need to pay taxes, but those outside their salaries must pay taxes. No matter how they earn money, they must pay taxes. This is the bottom line. This is also the reason why our Liu family gets more taxes in Shandong than the 13 chief envoys of the Ming Dynasty."

Liu Bu took out the iron general fact, which made Qian Qianyi speechless.

Liu Bu wants to implement the one of future generations. All officials must pay taxes. Of course, he doesn't need to pay taxes on his salary, but he must pay taxes on his income.

Since ancient times, which official has made his fortune by his salary is the money obtained through his power. This is the real big head.

Liu Bu's meaning is very clear now, that is, first establish good rules, all people have to pay taxes, and then implement one. It's very convenient to catch corrupt officials in the future. As long as you have more money than your income, you must explain how the money came from.

As an official now, there is no crime of unknown origin of huge amounts of property, but Liu Bu will soon implement this article.

Liu Bu didn't believe that even the Tartars of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties could collect taxes as one of the officials and gentry. His Liu family had a more mature management system, but he couldn't do this.

Those who are willing to follow them will stay, those who are unwilling will kick him out, Liu Bu will not believe it, and butcher Zhang will have to eat pigs when he dies.

You know, in the later Manchu and Qing Dynasties, after the executive officials and gentry collected taxes, they were never short of money.

People in the Qing Empire are famous for their incompetence, cowardice and waste, but there is always one thing, that is, they never lack money. Even if they work with the Eight Power Allied forces and are defeated and defeated, they can still take out so much money to compensate, which Daming can't learn.

Liu Bu insisted so much that Qian Qianyi didn't dare to answer back, but Liu bu also understood that it was a historical trend for officials and gentry to collect taxes as a whole, but it was not easy to get to this step, but the step of thousands of miles began at the foot. Although the long march is far away, it must also start.

Now is the time to start.
