Chapter 1229： beaten behind

The first thousand two hundred and twenty-ninth chapters of the text are beaten behind

Early the next morning, all the ministers from the early court were silent at the gate of the palace, obviously thinking of the changes in the palace a few days ago, and they all had some psychological shadows.

With the sound of the palace door being pushed open, everyone mentioned that even if the palace has been cleaned up, it still gives people the illusion that there is blood everywhere.

Zhou Shuren has been in the palace many times, and this feeling still hasn't eased. Looking at the long palace alley, Zhou Shuren felt a chill in his heart. This is the palace, the place that represents power, and the place where the dead are piled up.

In the main hall, the emperor and the prince arrived first, and the prince stood under the dragon chair.

Zhou Shuren glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. As the ministers entered the hall, after the kneeling was over, the ministers got up.

The emperor did not intend to speak, and the sitting posture was not as straight as before, but was extremely casual, with his arms leaning against the armrests of the dragon chair.

The prince took a step forward and said, "Yesterday, the general Hou returned from the slaughter of the remaining sinners, and he also brought back the harmful ointment. Some people take risks and smuggle into the country for profit, and I am very angry."

The prince paused, "Two thousand catties, I don't know if it is a year's amount or how long, I only know how many families two thousand catties can harm, and these things were found on the island hidden by the Zhang family, not only that, but also Found the foreigner who made it."

After the prince's words fell, the ministers below began to discuss, Yu Nie cooperated with the foreigners, did the Zhang clan promise the foreigners, and did the foreigners and the Zhang clan have pure interests, or did they participate?

The meaning is different.

Zhou Shuren has memorized history by heart. He knows all the history of humiliation. The history of the last dynasty had a good turning point. Although the former dynasty was dull in the later period, it changed the history, and the population continued to grow. population.

Now that he has slowly laid some foundations, he does not allow it to be destroyed. He does not want to let go of these foreigners. Those who are not of our race will have different hearts. He is more willing to think about conspiracy theories.

Zhou Shuren took a step forward, "I have something to say."

The prince's eyes were surprised, and the emperor's expression became much more serious. In the past, Zhou Shuren would never say a word unless necessary, and he would never be the first to speak. The first one to speak out today is the first time.

Zhou Shuren felt that everyone was watching him, but he straightened his back and looked directly at the prince.

The prince glanced at his father, the emperor nodded, and the prince said, "Master Zhou, please speak."

Zhou Shuren organized the language in his mind, "Before I talk about foreigners and harming people, I want to talk about the taxation of the household department."

After a pause, he continued: "When our country didn't open sea trade, merchants were not very prosperous. Although they were heavy on agriculture, they could be exempted from taxation constantly. The national tax revenue was not high, and the heavy salt tax was still serious tax evasion at that time."

When these words fell, the old officials in the court were silent. Indeed, at the beginning of the dynasty, the court was very difficult, especially the treasury.

Zhou Shuren went on to say: "After the opening of sea trade, the state's policy on merchants was relaxed, and business was prosperous. With the continuous development of sea trade, the tax of sea trade has also become one of the important taxes in our country. Last year's tax was one of the taxes of the previous year. Times, this year has not yet entered the autumn, the silver money according to the statistics has almost caught up with the annual tax revenue of sea trade last year."

The ministers in the court all gasped, this growth is too fast.

Zhou Shuren did not say the exact amount. Some ministers will estimate that these businessmen who have control over them are more aware of how much tax they pay each year than Zhou Shuren.

Zhou Shuren said with a serious expression, "Taxes represent interests. With the improvement of my country's glass and other technologies, the advantages of foreigners' goods have decreased. In the eyes of many Western countries, my country is a gold mine, and everyone wants to take a bite."

I want to say cake, but unfortunately this analogy was not intuitive in ancient times.

The prince already understands what Zhou Shuren wants to say when he sets the stage for so much. It should be said that Rong Chuan is worthy of being taught by Lord Zhou, and this vision is big.

Zhou Shuren and others digested it and said, "I want to say now, I think it's not an accident that the foreigners appeared on the island of the Zhang clan, I heard that there are cannons on the island, plus the gunpowder of the palace change, I am convinced that the foreigners are against the Zhang clan. The foreigners support the Zhang family's ascendance, because the emperor and the prince are blocking their way, these foreigners want to disrupt and interfere in our country's internal affairs, their hearts can be punished, and they also ask the emperor and the prince to learn."

As soon as Zhou Shuren's words fell, there were more discussions in twos and threes.

Some pedantic ministers, "I feel that what Lord Zhou said is too extreme. The Ministry of Rites is preparing to welcome the envoys from afar. This minister thinks that there may be a misunderstanding."

Zhou Shuren's face is calm, your sister's misunderstanding, he really hates talking to some pedantic ministers, why was he reluctant to speak before, sometimes he can really get angry at himself, his teammates are so pig, he doesn't want to continue talking .

Seeing Zhou Shuren angry, the emperor was happy, and then thought again, Zhou Shuren and Rong Chuan thought basically the same, the emperor also sighed, the youngest son thought far-reaching, it can be seen that he learned from Zhou Shuren, and the youngest son also thinks that the foreigners are ambitious.

The crown prince looked at a few pedantic old ministers who were talking high. If it weren't for the fear of the cold, he really had enough of it. He thought secretly that when he succeeded to the throne, he would definitely choose the smart one.

The prince gestured to be quiet, "The evidence is conclusive that the foreigners on the island made harmful ointment. As for other crimes, Guhui will send someone to investigate."

And some ministers who received benefits from foreigners have shut up at this time. Sometimes they can intercede. The prince has said so, obviously he can't intercede.

Zhou Shuren knew in his heart that the prince and the emperor wanted to convict the foreigners, but they involved several countries. Even if they believed that the foreigners were harboring evil intentions, they would not come to a conclusion at a court meeting.

Zhou Shuren didn't continue to say anything. He had already expressed what he should have expressed. Brainwashing is not a one-time event Zhou Shuren counted the people he knew around him, and he didn't believe it anymore.

Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth. Sometimes, he really hated some arrogant ministers. He didn't know where their confidence came from. Power is the only way to go to the country. reason.

Then came the propaganda for the ointment of harm, and the law that was drawn up long ago, and the political affairs were dealt with quickly.

After the morning court was over, Zhou Shuren was too lazy to listen to some people's rhetoric, and suddenly felt that the emperor was sometimes very hard, obviously he didn't like it, and many times he had to listen carefully, and he couldn't get distracted.

Mr. Wang came over and said, "Today, I let the old man see the sharp Lord Zhou."

He always thought that Zhou Shuren was slick and too slick, but today his impression has changed a lot.

Zhou Shuren, "I'm just worried, you always know that my second son likes the knowledge of foreigners, and my wife also reads it. Although I don't have time to read these, there are more people in my family who understand and listen to them. The development of foreigners is too fast, fast. It scares me. Hundreds of years later, if our descendants don't make progress, what will happen in the future? The old man will be beaten if he falls behind."

Mr. Wang was stunned, and he muttered, "Will you be beaten if you fall behind?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Well, that's it. In the future, we will not only fight for population, but also for technology and firepower."

Only by maintaining the advantage can the position remain unchanged.

Mr. Wang stared at Zhou Shuren. At this moment, Zhou Shuren's image in his eyes changed from a thin fox to a visionary worried about the future. Zhou Shuren was looking at the future, but he was still limited to the inheritance of the family.
