Chapter 1072: Fighting back to the north last night

This New Year Festival is more interesting than any other New Year Festival in the past. It is not just that the Kou family can gather a table of horse hangings, but the key is that the atmosphere is completely reversed.

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

In the past, industrial and commercial workers were working overtime desperately, and they all spent 996 as a holiday. The happy 996, while the men were resting at home early or visiting relatives and friends. However, this year, industrial and commercial workers were resting at home, visiting relatives and friends, while the men were all working overtime.

He is really a good master who serves the people.

Last year, with the efforts of the cabinet and Guo Dan, the new policy was already decided, and this year it will be fully implemented. They will only take seven days off for the annual leave.

Now the government and the people are united in unity. They are eager to reverse the decline of the government in the new year. Guo Dan has already begun to pay a bonus of 4 million taels. If they do not reverse it, they will probably have no choice.

......\n

Winter goes and spring comes, spring is warm and flowers bloom, and the earth revives.

The cabinet couldn't wait to announce a series of government orders. After preparing for a whole year, it was finally about to start using its big moves.

The first thing to bear is tax revenue, which is actually the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty.

I don’t know if it was Lao Zhu’s relationship, which led to poverty that has always been with the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet officially announced the complete abolishment of tax exemption privileges. Unlike before in Shandong and Nanzhili, it was just an attempt. This time it was a state decree and the new policy was fully implemented. The central agency began to use this as a standard. Every inch of land had to be taxed. This also involved the system of vassal kings. The vassal kings no longer had tax exemption privileges. The court paid equal amounts of currency to the vassal kings as their descendants.

But at the same time, it also gives the vassal kings more freedom.

In fact, it has been much relaxed before this, but I can eat while lying down, so who is willing to work?

However, the matter of the Jingwang Mansion made Wanli determined that the people could no longer be allowed to rely on the vassal kings. The two must be isolated. The medium they contacted was land, so they unified the silver distribution, which directly cut the connection between the two from a fundamental perspective.

As for the vassal kings who have occupied the land, the court will not pursue it. You can just pay taxes anyway.

Now that Wanli holds Yinuo Group, he is not afraid of the vassal kings breaking through wealth, and he doesn't have to worry about his son losing money. In short, this butt determines his head. His grandfather Jiajing is the vassal king.

Many vassal kings were cursing this in their hearts. You became emperors from vassal kings, and just tormented us. We cursed you that only one son, named Zhu Houzhao.

The second is commercial tax. Commercial tax is all converted into contract tax. The game is like Guo Dan’s set. There is no contract to pay contract tax and there is no litigation guarantee, except for farm products. Because there is a tax collected on the farmland, it would be unreasonable to collect the deed tax.

At the same time, domestic tariffs were also completely reduced, because the previous commercial tax was concentrated on tariffs, and they were all under the control of the imperial and merchant combination. Because the local government's technology was not qualified at that time, it was impossible to collect commercial taxes in full. Most of the relevant households could only block the gate, but the cash gate had been handed over to the emperor for direct management.

Now that the country wants to impose a comprehensive deed tax, the tariffs must be so heavy, it is not appropriate.

The cabinet determines how much tariffs are imposed based on the costs of river management in recent years. In fact, the fees for river management are imposed, which is more reasonable, but compared with previous cases, the tariffs have been greatly reduced.

Wanli had discussed this with Guo Dan seriously, but when he saw the account book, he found that it was only a little money, so they could go.

Reducing tariffs and promoting trade is actually very beneficial to them. Anyway, the money is used to manage the rivers and not to use it for other purposes.

The foreign tariffs they care about now are now the big ones, so it doesn't matter to the domestic market. All rights to foreign tariffs are completely controlled by the Emperor and Shang combination. If the foreign tariffs are controlled by the state, how can Wanli become One Piece and the chairman of the grassland?

You can't hand over the money, so it doesn't matter if you have less money.

If you hand over the money, you will get stuck in your throat again.

In fact, Li Sancai suggested taking back the cash gate. He believed that the cash gate should be under the management of the state. What does it mean to be controlled by the emperor? However, the Emperor and Shang combination easily rejected it and ignored him. We signed a contract.

In addition to agricultural tax and commercial tax, there is also nationalization.

The main ones are salt, iron and coal.

The adoption is also Guo Dan's plan. The treasury entered the market as a major shareholder. Since it was a major shareholder, both sides of the contract were equal. The treasury was an investment merchant, not an adult. This was just a transaction and also had to pay the deed tax. The right to litigation belonged to the local court, not to the cabinet.

Like salt making, coal and iron ore are owned by the state, and the state sells shares to form a joint venture group, and all operations are handed over to merchants, which is for marketization.

How much to buy and how much to order is determined based on the market.

To put it bluntly, the country only needs money.

Of course, there is Guo Dan's suggestion here, and it is not that he is very kind and righteous. It is just that he has taken over the coal and iron mines in Shanxi. The court cannot hold him back. Instead, he is afraid that the court will get angry and use his power to play subsidies with him and dump it.

It is determined by the market and he is invincible.

But after these policies, is it a fight against Guo Dan?

no.

Except for commercial tax, all the powerful people in the court were beaten.

Not to mention the cancellation of tax exemption privileges, even coal, iron and salt were previously controlled by the powerful, because no one could afford these industries except them.

Three years ago, this was unimaginable.

But now, it is destroying and killing people invisibly.

The government and the public have reached a consensus on this point because the bureaucratic group found that some powerful people colluded with Guo Dan, and Xu Mengshu was one of them, while others bet on both sides.

They believed that if these powers were not taken back, the court would be a mess and would be defeated one by one by one by Guo Dan.

We will collect them all, at least in our hands. When we suppress Guo Dan, let’s talk about it.

The interest groups of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses this time. All the interests were swallowed up in one bite. Anyway, Guo Dan was either destroyed or taken away by the court.

They are now out of reach.

rebel?

They really don't have the courage to do so now, because the military system was reformed before, and the military power was completely controlled by the fat man. To be honest, with the Grand Canyon, the fat man was not afraid of the generals jumping left and right. The most jumping among them was Li Chengliang. He was the local emperor in Liaodong. When the reform in Liaodong, Li Chengliang had the opportunity to create chaos to prevent the court from reforming.

They used to play like this.

He was also planning to play like this at that time, but in the end, Li Chengliang stopped him, and he decided not to play anymore.

Unfortunately, he lives in Weihui Mansion. If he wants to live in another place, he will never admit defeat easily. He looks at the new firearm in the Grand Canyon every day. This firearm, this productivity, and this wealth. He can bring up a large army at any time. Huguang Shenji Camp was temporarily formed. Isn’t it a victory in every battle? He really doesn’t think that Wanli cares about the little elites in Liaodong as before.

At worst, you can destroy them all and start over.

Then it’s better to bow your head and strive for some benefits.

After he admitted his defeat, the other border town generals were all cowardly.

He doesn't dare to jump, who dares to jump?

Nowadays, rebellion is to die, without a single difference.

Can you be farther away than Luzon?

It’s really a long way to kill you!

Then the emperor will beat you, Guo Dan will beat you, and the bureaucrats will beat you too.

Don't even think about it!

The entire interest group began to collapse, part of it turned to the bureaucratic group, part of it turned to Guo Dan, all choosing the camp based on their own interests.

Although the last kick was kicked by the cabinet, it was actually all planned by Guo Dan a long time ago, but he didn't swallow it alone, so he couldn't swallow it. He just planned to swallow it with the court.

At this point, the plan to snatch whale swallowing was announced to be completed.

The second major stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty was the very bloated administrative agency, which was completely inefficient. Regarding one thing, I don’t know how many times Guo Dan sarcastically said, and he always said that as long as the government does not participate, it will definitely succeed.

Last year, Wang Xijue and Li Sancai were responsible for finance, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Chen Younian, Shen Yiguan and others were responsible for streamlining the institutions.

Cut off a large number of departments.

For example, the Nine Temples, except for the Dali Temple and the Zongren Mansion, all the rest are merged into the six ministries, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple is merged into the Ministry of Revenue, Honglu Temple is merged into the Ministry of Rites, etc.

After the incorporation, the six ministries were streamlined and all the powers were clearly divided.

There was one thing that ten departments did, but no one did it, and no one knew who to ask for accountability.

Now I have clearly divided it. If I can’t do it well, I will ask you.

Not only that, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War also took back a large amount of power from the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

This was unimaginable before.

The Imperial Horse Prison is a eunuch department that is as famous as the Sili Supervisor and the Dongchang. The three are actually inseparable from each other. The Imperial Horse Prison is an extension of the emperor's military power. Once civil officials and generals are disobedient, the emperor can temporarily use the Imperial Horse Prison to replace it, resulting in the Imperial Horse Prison taking into account both finance and military affairs.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor controls military and political affairs, and the financial intervention point is the horse farm. The Imperial Horse Supervisor controls the largest ranch in the capital, and uses this as an intervention point to control the imperial guards in the capital.

However, in recent years, the Imperial Horse Supervision has been very low-key, far less than the Dongchang and Sili Supervision Bureau, as if this department has disappeared.

It turned out that Wanli had already transferred the people from the Imperial Horse Prison to the Grand Canyon and Shanxi to fully control firearms and gunpowder. Whether it is Bozhou or Dongwu, there are shadows of the Imperial Horse Prison. Except for the operation rights in Guo Dan, the rest of the Great Canyon is in the hands of the Imperial Horse Prison, all of which are sold from coal and iron ore to firearms.

However, Guo Dan is relatively strong and does not dare to command blindly, so he is responsible for staring and reporting to the emperor, so he seems very low-key.

Wanli controlled the Shenji Camp with one hand and the firearm with the other. In fact, the military power was still firmly controlled in his hands. He just replaced the horse farm with a Grand Canyon. He was so happy that he handed over some of the powers of the Imperial Horse Supervision to the cabinet so that they could manage it in a unified manner.

The power of Silijian is also being reduced, because the power of the cabinet is rising, and the power of Silijian will inevitably decline, but the imperial power is also rising. So Silijian, as an extension of the imperial power, is actually an open and secret increase.

Zhang Cheng usually doesn't say anything, but if he makes a statement, the cabinet will know that this road will definitely not work.

The Dongchang and Jinyiwei were really making a fortune in silence, mainly because Wanli became very concerned about intelligence work. He has been rectifying these two departments in the past two years and has secretly killed many people.

For example, some eunuchs, eunuchs and Jinyiwei who colluded with the Jingwang Mansion and the salt merchants were all executed secretly, leaving no one behind.

Allegiance is the most basic, and in addition, Wanli requires that no matter what information it is, it must be fast and accurate.

It turned out that the emperor was in the deep palace every day, and the eunuch said whatever he said. Now there is a Guo Dan. Guo Dan still controls a mysterious Jinyiwei. The base camp of this Jinyiwei is on Luzon Island, which is difficult for them to reach, resulting in Dongchang and Jinyiwei not daring to fool the emperor.

The powers of these two departments have been greatly increased and their scope has been greatly expanded. North Korea and Japan have many Jinyiwei, but the pressure has also increased a lot.

However, changes in the overall environment are also beneficial to the cabinet.

In the past, it was difficult to control local governments, but in ancient times, communication was slower, and local governments could deceive superiors and conceal their subordinates. However, with the development of business, information spread is getting faster and faster, and local governments dare not deceive superiors and conceal their subordinates because they cannot hide it.

What happened in Nanzhili will soon be spread to the capital.

This further strengthened the cabinet's control over local governments, which is why the cabinet did not completely solve Zhang Juzheng's examination and forced officials to submit their political achievements, and those who could not submit their duties would be directly dismissed.

Now the cabinet is also learning from Guo Dan's routine and put forward the slogan of development for the first time to comprehensively develop workers, farmers and commerce. The government's responsibility center has gone from tax collection to economic development.

It is specifically reflected in the formal promulgation of the Polish Regulations of the Court.

The development of industrial technology is encouraged, and the specific process is that Yinuoya Bank is responsible for technical appraisal. However, the government does not directly negotiate with Yinuoya Bank, but connects with Guanya. Of course, the people can also directly go to Guanya to conduct technical appraisal.

This is because the Liu family has few branches and is incomparable to Yinuoya Store. Everyone knows that workers will choose Yinuoya Store. In order to ensure that Guanya can intervene, the court placed Guanya in the middle.

It is called "Bo San Regulations", and it has not even changed its name because the bureaucratic group has determined to focus its firepower on Guo Dan alone, not to attack the entire industry and commerce. On the contrary, they want to win over the industry and commerce. Otherwise, they demand the development of industry and commerce on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to crack down on industry and commerce on the other hand. This is unreasonable, and there is actually a certain consensus in the Ming Dynasty. Shen Yiguan, Li Sancai, Gu Xiancheng, and Wang Xijue supported it before, but now it is a general trend.

Many Grand Secretary think that the Bosan Regulations are very unpleasant, more rustic, and more suitable for businessmen, so why should I give them a good name?

These decrees indicate that the Ming Dynasty has completely entered a new era.

Because there are huge changes in the power structure to the social structure.

Ancestral system?

No one seems to remember this.
