The words of the censor on duty still had a certain effect.
Everyone calmed down first, because the secretary obviously hadn't finished reading yet. "3.
All bad habits will be abolished from today on.
If they occur again, they will be regarded as corruption and will be jointly dealt with by the Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Independent Commission Against Corruption.
According to Taizu's decree, embezzlement of sixty taels of silver can be peeled off.
Real grass.”
At this time, there was another loud noise.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty and hated corrupt officials.
Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the country, he ordered that those who embezzled sixty taels of silver would be peeled off.
However, corrupt officials could not be killed without mercy, and later emperors did not strictly follow this rule.
Now that the emperor directly proposed to follow Taizu's rules, of course everyone would talk about it.
The censor shouted again, finally suppressing everyone's discussion.
The secretary continued to read: "4.
The system of raising integrity will be implemented first from the fourth rank and above and officials in the capital, and will be extended to the whole country.
The implementation date is set after the newly occupied territories except Japan have output."
The clerk finally finished reading the draft.
Zhu Youxiao said: "This is a draft.
As for the final version, it still needs to be discussed by all your beloved ministers before it can be finalized."
He Zongyan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, asked: "Your Majesty, does the so-called output refer to the tax revenue from the newly occupied land?"
He was responsible, so of course he had to ask clearly.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It's not tax revenue.
In addition to the necessary expenses for maintaining the local area, the tax revenue from the newly occupied land must be included in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
So what is the output?
I am going to set up a business.
This business can also be called a company.
It has the same meaning as the current development company in Liaodong.
All shareholders of the company are the officials mentioned just now, and all profits of the company must be included in the local output. " He Zongyan continued to ask: "Your Majesty, who will run this business?"
Zhu Youxiao replied: "This company is better called a company in order to distinguish it from other firms.
This company will be a brand-new business method, that is, the owners and operators are separated.
How the company operates is It is decided by the operator, and the owner only has the right to change the operator.”
"As for the Japanese company, its official name is the Ming Japanese Commercial Company.
All Japan's trade with the Ming Dynasty is responsible for this company.
The annual profits will be reported to the owners by the operators, and the owners can send people to monitor the company's operations, but they are not allowed to Interfering with normal business operations.”
Xian Zhu Youxiao said that taxes were not included in output.
Officials originally thought that the amount of money would be small, but later they were shocked when they heard that all trade between Japan and Ming Dynasty would be handled by a new company.
Everyone knows that sea trade is very profitable.
Now that you are responsible for a country's trade, the amount of money is really a terrifying figure.
He Zongyan smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with Your Majesty, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Now that the Emperor has entrusted Japan's trade to a company, he only needs to go to this company to collect the sea trade tax, and the owner of the company is Officials and operators are not officials, so it is not easy to collect taxes.
More importantly, domestic commercial taxes are collected by the tax bureau.
Although they must be handed over to the Ministry of Accounts in the end, they are not collected by themselves after all.
There will be some scruples when using them.
And now the emperor has made it clear that all Japanese taxes are collected by the Ministry of Accounts, of course.
It can be considered a good news to the Ministry of Finance.
Zhu Youxiao said: "At the Ming Japanese Commercial Company, I will first assign internal officials to take charge, and the ownership of the company will be distributed according to levels.

For example, if the chief minister of the cabinet has one point, and the annual income is one million yuan, then The first assistant's income is 10,000 yuan, which should be easy to calculate. " "As for the owner's supervisory power, I suggest that you hire officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Taxation Department to monitor financial issues, and hire Dongchang and the Independent Commission Against Corruption to monitor corruption issues.
Of course, this is just my suggestion.
It's up to you whether you listen or not.
But first let’s be clear, hiring people from these departments requires money.”
This is all we have to say in advance.
After the court meeting is over, it will not be too late for the officials to discuss it again.
Now we have to move on to the second topic, how to respond to Japan's peace request.
If the first issue is this, then everyone's opinion should be that they agree with Japan's peace proposal and return the occupied Satsuma land to the Japanese to show the style of a great Chinese country.
However, the change in the order of the topics caused the ministers' ideas to change dramatically.
Occupying Japan will not benefit him at all, and there may be some changes that will make the imperial court disgraced, and his career may also be affected.
And if the imperial court should punish Japan slightly and then forgive them generously, just to teach them a lesson, this is the safest way.
First, show that you are a gentleman and don't talk about benefits.
Then this is the least likely to cause problems, because the Ming army has withdrawn, so what can happen.
As for whether the Japanese will attack the Ming Dynasty again next time, that is none of my business.
Now Japan's output belongs to you.
As long as you stay in this official position, you will have a good income, and if you get promoted, you will get even more.
This money is not used to oppress the Japanese, and it is given in the name of the imperial court raising honest money.
How clean and noble it is.
But the basis of all this is to occupy part of Japan's territory, and Japan must agree to Ming Dynasty doing business in Japan.
If we return the conquered territory to the Japanese now, we will lose all our money.
So when the secretary reviewed Japan's peace proposal, the officials remained silent.
After all, everyone was still a little embarrassed.
They stood up and said that they wanted to occupy Japan's territory and asked Japan to agree to some preferential trade conditions, so there was a tacit silence among everyone.
But some people are impossible to escape, such as the first assistant and the main soldier.
Huang Kezuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese have harmed our coastal areas for nearly a hundred years and committed heinous crimes against our people.
Recently, they have invaded and occupied our vassal country, bringing disgrace to our great country.
I think that the occupied Satsuma cannot be directly returned.
The land of the vassal, otherwise it will not be able to explain to the vassal state, and it will further encourage the arrogance of the Japanese. " Just as Fang Congzhe was about to step out, Ye Xianggao spoke first: "Your Majesty, the Japanese are fearful of power and unethical.
I ask your Majesty to punish the Japanese with harsh conditions and let the Japanese cede part of the land bordering Ryukyu to protect our vassal.
National peace.”
Zhu Youxiao is becoming more and more satisfied with Ye Xianggao's recent performance.
This man is not bound to one party or another, smart but not pedantic.
He is a real gentleman himself, but he does not hesitate to trick others.
He is a very interesting person.
It seems that the Donglin Party members are not all pedantic old masters.
I only hope that the Donglin Party members can become like this, so why should I drive them out of the court:
