    You can search "Iron-Blooded Dynasty: Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty" on Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    Once Kong Yinzhi's memorial spread, it really caused an uproar, especially after Zhu Youxiaoen approved the petition of Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Yang Lian, Xu Guangqi and other important ministers, allowing them to pay taxes on their fields.  It makes scholars all over the world choke and cry!

    This is something that can ruin a person¡¯s financial path!

    How dare the Kong family do this?

    Aren¡¯t you afraid of being drowned in the spit of everyone in the world?

    In fact, the Confucius family is really not afraid of the people in the world. If you have the ability, don¡¯t learn the Confucianism of Master Confucius. If you have the ability, don¡¯t take the scientific examination. If you have the ability, don¡¯t squat in the fields for generations and do idle clouds and wild cranes. As long as you don¡¯t have this ability, then you will see the Holy Saint.  For the statue of the First Master, just obediently offer your knees!

    However, there was nothing we could do about the Kong family, but it didn¡¯t mean that these scholars had no other options. Therefore, after the news spread, letters from all over the world flew to the capital like a snowflake.

    Almost all the officials in the capital have received several letters like this. As for the big bosses, they have piles of letters at home!

    ?? These letters were filled with facts and truth, but there was only one content, which was to persuade the emperor not to collect land taxes from scholars, let alone increase business taxes!

    The big bosses naturally sneered when they saw such a letter. They knew in their hearts that the little emperor was not an ordinary person. These were things that he had been planning for a long time. He had already reached this point. Do you want the little emperor to change his mind?

    Isn¡¯t that a joke?

    In fact, it is not just the scholars who are dissatisfied with this matter. The nobles of the two capitals also feel a chill on the back of their heads, because the real descendants of the Zhu family have been dealt with. What should they do, these losers who rely on the shadow of their ancestors to enjoy glory and wealth?

    The nobles in Beijing are better off. Because of Wu Bingrui¡¯s strong command, the land they occupied and donated has been cleared. The remaining closed fields don¡¯t have much profit and water, and they don¡¯t care much!

    "What really bothers these nobles is that the little emperor actually took the opportunity to openly raise business taxes. Which of these noble houses doesn't have a few shops?

    The family's annual food and clothing expenses depend on these shops. Originally, we could make more money from the occupied and donated land, but now this method is not easy to use. If the shops are charged another 30% tax,  That day is really unbearable!

    But these nobles did not dare to say anything, and they did not even move around to communicate with each other, because Li Rubai killed him that day and came back with the Guards cavalry!

    Carloads of heads!

    Groups of cattle, horses and sheep!

    A series of Mongolian prisoners!

    It sent chills down the spines of all those watching.

    And the 50,000 Guards infantry who are training hard are even more intimidating to have any messy thoughts, so although those nobles are dissatisfied, they don't dare to do anything!

    With the arrival of new prisoners of war, the city of Beijing became more lively. The prisoners of war not only had to build roads, but also shouldered the heavy responsibility of improving the sanitation of the capital's environment.

    Although Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is also one of the leading super cities in the world today, but in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, today's Beijing is just a slum surrounded by walls!

    Except for the Forbidden City, the mansions of dignitaries, and the storefronts facing the streets, there are messy alleys and low-rise houses everywhere.

    Not to mention the roads, they are basically dirt roads. It is really dirt on sunny days and mud on rainy days!

    Many slums do not even have basic sanitation facilities. Sewage flows everywhere, garbage is everywhere, and it is so dirty that it is impossible to see!

    In Zhu Youxiao¡¯s eyes, such an environment was not worthy of the status of the capital of the Ming Empire. Moreover, such sanitary conditions were extremely easy to breed diseases.

    The final demise of the Ming Dynasty in history was also closely related to a sudden plague that broke out in Beijing!

    In order to completely solve the sanitation problem in Beijing, Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial decree strictly prohibiting people from dumping garbage privately. All garbage and feces must be cleaned and collected by a cleaning team composed of prisoners of war.

    At the same time, in order to completely change the backward and chaotic appearance of Beijing today, Zhu Youxiao asked the Ministry of Industry to come up with a planning map and make a thorough plan for Beijing with the Forbidden City as the center!

    This plan follows Zhu Youxiao¡¯s idea to divide Beijing into three parts: the Forbidden City, the inner city, and the outer city. In addition to strengthening the walls of the Forbidden City and the outer city, a wall between the inner city and the outer city must also be built.

    At the same time, all residential areas in Beijing will be planned in a unified manner, and horizontal and vertical block urban areas will be built following the example of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and all roads in Beijing will be hardened.?There is no way to pave asphalt roads, but stone roads can still be paved!

    In addition, eight auxiliary cities will be built around Beijing to station troops and store grain!

    As soon as this large-scale plan came out, it can be said that the whole court was shocked. Not to mention the size of the project, at least the money was not known. The price quoted by the Ministry of Industry was 7.8 million taels. This was because it could be done with prisoners of war.  Labor can save a lot of money!

    However, Zhu Youxiao unexpectedly increased the budget to 9 million taels because he did not allow the use of prisoners of war for this project.

    ??According to Zhu Youxiao¡¯s requirements, the entire Beijing city reconstruction project must employ a large number of local and nearby people in Beijing, so that they have work to do and money to earn!

    Many people don¡¯t understand Zhu Youxiao¡¯s approach. There are obviously ways to save money, so why not use it and waste so much money?

    But Zhu Youxiao told these ministers the story of a bag of gold coins, the story of how a bag of gold coins solved the town's economic problems!

    Although the courtiers were skeptical about such a story, Zhu Youxiao still convinced them. Of course, in order to convince the courtiers, Zhu Youxiao also paid some price. The money for the renovation of Beijing City University was paid by Zhu Youxiao himself.  Give 30%!

    However, Zhu Youxiao is not distressed. Nine million taels of silver, 30% of which is three million, and the renovation period of Beijing City University is ten years, which means that Zhu Youxiao will only spend 300,000 taels every year. This pair of  For Zhu Youxiao, who had just dealt with King De, this was really a piece of cake!

    Although he was full of ambition, Zhu Youxiao also encountered a small and medium-sized trouble, because now many honorable nobles cry when they see him, even the old guy Zhang Weixian is like this!

    This is not to say that these nobles are dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao. The reason is that many nobles feel abandoned by Zhu Youxiao, so they act like that.

    The reason why the majority of nobles feel this way is because those nobles who had a good relationship with Zhang Weixian were forced by Zhang Weixian to buy shares of Royal Commercial Bank.

    At the beginning, this incident was still talked about as a joke among the nobles. When those nobles talked about this incident, they also said something with a downcast eyebrow. They were all loyal to the emperor, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown.  ?

    But now this matter has been completely reversed!

    Those nobles who were originally forced by Zhang Weixian to buy shares of the Royal Commercial Bank now look complacent wherever they go, telling everyone they meet that their families have received His Majesty¡¯s holy grace, and that¡¯s why they have such a good life today!

    The reason why this happened is because Zhu Youxiao let everyone know what kind of treasure the Royal Merchant House was selling!

    What does the Royal Merchant House sell?
