Chapter five hundred and forty-six letter king Zhu Youjian angrily denounced the selfish gentry
According to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, after demarcating the sphere of influence, the people who settled there would be ruled by the country.
Therefore, the Han and natives living in Manila became Zhu Youjian's people.
The first thing to establish a country is to establish an administrative system and a tax system.
Regarding the administrative system, Zhu Youjian directly copied a set of official systems left by Zhu Yuanzhang to the vassal kings to show that he was the noble status of the Zhu family vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.
As for tax revenue, Zhu Youjian did not set it too high.
In this life, he was not Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
There are no serious internal and external troubles.
In addition, in this life, he was no longer a vassal king who was only good at the palace, but had been to local officials and saw the suffering of the people.
What's more, because he was the younger brother of the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, other countries dared not offend his Chongzhen Kingdom.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian did not pay much attention to the people like he had in history, so he set the tax very low.
But even so, there are still voices of opposition.
"Your Highness, King Xin! We are all Han people. Can we exempt the Han people from taxes or the scholars? After all, scholars are the leaders of the four people. If you win the hearts of scholars, you can win the hearts of the people in the world. In this way, your nobles will be able to last forever, right?"
Ma Xuan tricked Zhu Youjian because of this.
Zhu Youjian replied: "Scholars should indeed be an example for the people! They should actively pay taxes! This is the Holy Emperor's sage to the scholars. The existence of tax exemptions can only be based on the amount of their wealth, not the amount of their reading."
Seeing that Zhu Youjian was not fooled by him, Ma Xuan had to leave in a hint of disguise.
After returning to his home, Ma Xuan asked his servant Saoyue: "How are you asking, what is the tax system of other countries on the island? Can there be preferential treatment for Confucian scholars?"
"Back to Master, there is!"
"Tell me more!"
"DPRK preferential treatment for Confucian scholars, saying that Confucian scholars among the Han people can obtain separate officials in Korea based on their fame and reputation in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, students and supervisors, seventh ranks, fifth ranks, and Jinshi are directly third ranks. Outstanding ones can be directly hired as officials and go to Seoul to assist the king. Those with official positions will be exempted from taxes and labor service."
"In addition, the Japanese shogunate and Satsuma vassals exempted all Han people from duty and labor service! It is said that it is to bring more Han people under the rule, so as to bring more and better handicrafts and doctrines."
Sweep the moon and reply.
In this era, North Korea indeed admired Confucianism, and it was also a literati in power, and admired Chinese culture the most. Therefore, it was naturally very respectful to the literati of the Ming Dynasty, and was willing to use various high-ranking officials and generous salaries to attract more Han scholars.
The same is true for the Japanese shogunate and the Satsuma clan, but their rulers were several wise rulers who were determined to reform in this era, and they were not only willing to recruit more Han scholars who could bring Chinese culture, but also more willing to recruit ordinary Han people.
Because they knew that among ordinary Han people, many craftsmen had advanced handicraft technology that their country did not have, they used special treatment to all Han people, in an attempt to absorb more Han people.
However, as a juren, Ma Xuan was very dissatisfied with the behavior of treating Han people and civilians in the Japanese shogunate and Satsuma vassal, and said: "How can the Japanese shogunate and Satsuma vassal treat Confucian scholars and civilians equally among the Han people! It is far less open than that of North Korea. Now it seems that the real Confucianism is actually in Korea. He told his family to close the spice shop in Manila and move the family to the territory of the Kingdom of Korea for the people!"
"King Xin wants us to pay taxes? There is no way!"
...
"What did you say? Many Han people in Manila moved away from their families because I collected taxes? It was too much!"
"They can tolerate such high taxes from the Folang Ji people. They can't accept this tax?!"
"If the emperor's brother Kuanren had not been willing to give in to foreign vassals in order to save them, they would have been the dead souls of the Furang Jiren! Now they betrayed the vassal states that were truly inherited from the Ming Dynasty in order not to pay taxes, and went to North Korea, which were not a real tribe for the people! Why are they so selfish and shameless and grateful!"
Zhu Youjian was quite angry when he learned about this situation.
"Your Highness calms down! It is because of human nature. It is better to report this to the Holy Emperor. We have nothing to do. We are the ones who stay, but we don't know how the central court views this phenomenon."
Zhu Youxiao's chief secretary was equivalent to the prime minister of Chongzhen State. Liu Lishun comforted Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian therefore published a book to Zhu Youjian and reported on this phenomenon.
...
After receiving Zhu Youjian's report, Zhu Youxiao only smiled and said to Bi Ziyan and others: "Since the emergence of Yangming's Mind Science, scholars began to pay attention to their hearts, and therefore began to have their own independent thoughts. Some restrain themselves more, get rid of all desires, are willing to sacrifice themselves for their ideals, and are great and selfless; while others are extremely selfish, and they can betray and abandon anything in order to satisfy their desires, and abandon their country and family. People like Ma Xuan are such people, which is also the reason why they moved to Manila and other places. Although there are many people, they are still ruled by the Folangji people and even slaughtered at will. They are unwilling to come forward to sacrifice themselves."
"Why your Majesty mean?"
Bi Ziyan asked at this time.
"Go with these egoists!"
"It's useless to kill them. Will new people grow? The dragon has nine sons, and they are all different. This is inevitable."
"Most of them advocate the way of benevolence and forgiveness. It just so happened that they could use the special treatment given to them by North Korea and Japan and the special treatment given to them by North Korea and Japan, and the respect for them, so that they could better promote these ideas, make these countries more Confucian, and thus reduce their aggression."
Zhu Youxiao said.
Liu Hongxun said a little resentful at this time: "But if it weren't for the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the importance of protecting the dignity of the Han people, North Korea and Japan would not treat them so politely! They would not have understood the truth, but they still did not know how to thank the emperor! It was really a waste of reading poetry and books!"
"I won't talk about them anymore, it's just the right thing to benefit the people under my rule!"
"These extreme egoists who seek benefits and avoid harm will come back when they see benefits, but it doesn't matter to us whether they come back or not!"
Next, North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and others will immigrate to Luzon. Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yousong and others will also recruit people in their own vassal states. In this way, the market in Luzon will only grow due to the disappearance of the Florians, and will not disappear because of the disappearance of the Florians. This is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty to sell goods."
Zhu Youxiao said.
"What your Majesty said is, but now the problem is that our previous transaction of exporting goods to Europe through the Florians has been interrupted by the Confucian Alliance's troops sent troops to Luzon."
Bi Ziyan said.
"Without Butcher Zhang, would you have to eat a pig with hair? If he can come to the Ming Dynasty, we can't go to the West? I still want to ask the Spanish king to pay the price for the officials under him to slaughter Hua without authorization! By the way, let them understand the rules. If you want to trade, don't play the slaughter. If you really slaughter, they are not winners!"
