Chapter 81 Zhu Di is a prodigal son
Ning Wang Zhu Quan was sent to the Ministry of Justice. This was the second vassal king who was convicted of tax issues. Unlike Zhu Gaoxu's ascension in place, Zhu Quan was seriously punished this time, and he was not polite at all. He did not allow him to lend money.
To talk about how miserable Zhu Quan was, there was rumors outside that even Princess Ning's dowry was taken out. Even so, it was still not enough.
Zhu Quan could only sign an installment agreement with the Ministry of Revenue... a part of his salary was deducted every month. As for the deadline?
According to the twenty-year-old generation, at least five generations are needed.
Congratulations to His Highness Ning, for the first installment contract in the world.
At the same time, congratulations to the descendants of the Ning Prince's Mansion, who were very fortunate to bear the debt that would repay the lifelong debt before they were born.
I really don’t know what kind of evil you have committed, and the disaster will not be as good as your descendants?
How can I do such a thing?
"Shangshu Xia, are you too much?"
At the Xun Meeting, Song Li first complained that he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and was also responsible for the affairs of Zongzheng Temple. Now several vassal kings have gone to him to ask him to stand up for King Ning. Zhu Quan owed the debt to Zhu Quan, so why should he implicate future generations?
Natsuharaji said with a dark face: "Can I come up with this idea?"
When they heard this, the big guy subconsciously looked at Xu Jingchang.
But Jian Yi always felt uneasy. Many things were hidden in murderous intent. Ning Wang’s handling and the cabinet’s strategy. If something happened, it would be a big mess.
No need to ask, this improper ghost must be him.
Xia Yuanji opened it and looked at two pages before frowning, "This is a complete mess, saying that he imitates the case of Ning Wang and investigates that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all tax arrears... If he really does this, the whole world will be in chaos and all merchants will be destroyed. We want to collect taxes, not to destroy merchants."
However, it seems that Xu Jingchang's words hidden secrets... After dealing with this kid for a long time, he felt a more and more rule. This kid often talks and does things just for the sake of the subsequent things... A typical example is Tongzhengsi. He just started from counting the memorials of various departments and obtained huge power, almost reviving the prime minister.
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Di summoned several ministers to discuss the specific plan for tax recovery... Yang Rong and other cabinet bachelors were all listed. It was the first time that the Hanlin bachelor Xie Jin participated in it since the salted fish turned over.
He shouted at his confidant and couldn't help asking, "Who wrote this?"
Although Zhu Di had no experience in finance and taxation, he knew very well about his subordinates' little thoughts.
"Xu Tongzheng, how do I think of these two strategies? They are almost the same! It's just that one discounts the old banknotes for 70%, and the other does not need to be discounted, and taxes are deducted according to the original price. Am I right?" Xia Yuanji said in confusion: "There is no difference, why are you doing two copies?"
It is hard to say whether dealing with Ning Wang like this will become the beginning of a matter...
Zhu Di snorted: "Can you make excuses for me?"
The two of them communicated similarly, and the eunuch Hou Xian came over, and the two of them gathered with several cabinet bachelors to meet Zhu Di together.
Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's why I prepared those two."
The three plans were placed in front of Zhu Di, and Zhu Di hurriedly unfolded. The first two were similar. He threw them aside after taking a few glances. However, the third one, after he unfolded, he actually liked the more he looked at them.
Xia Yuanji also reacted, not caring about complaining about Xu Jingchang being smart, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is not new to pursue taxes like this. Emperor Wu of Han calculated the sacred letter and reported it to the sacred letter. This is what I thought this method was to concentrate on the people, not a long-term strategy. Even if it could temporarily fill the treasury, it would leave endless troubles. It was definitely not done by the wise monarch and sage lord. Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Yes, it is very appropriate to investigate the tax arrears here. There is still half of the silver discount, which is very suitable for me. Only from the first year of Hongwu, some of them have come from the 31st year of Hongwu, and it has been appropriate."
There is also the business tax matter, from a Jubaomen tax card to today, it is endless.
Xu Jingchang smiled without saying a word, and pointed to the third one again.
Zhu Di stared at the two ministers with a tense face and said coldly: "Then what? I didn't see it in this strategy at all. What do you two hide from me?"
Grandma, if this kid is still not honest, even if he is struggling with my life, he will take advantage of the opportunity of Beijing to completely expel this cancer from the court. The Ming Dynasty does not need such a thing.
Xia Yuanji, Minister of Revenue, and Xu Jingchang, the envoy of Tongzheng, were browsing the strategy in advance and making it clear.
Today was a very peaceful time, and there were almost no important military and national affairs, and there were no fierce quarrels.
"Your Majesty, I dare not hide it. If everything goes well, plus the successful loan from the King of Han... After the autumn harvest, the people will definitely borrow to cultivate land to avoid exploitation by the gentry. At that time, it will be not difficult to issue twice as much treasure money."
"Why do you think of me like this? It's true that misfortune is not as good as descendants, but there is always a condition, that is, blessing is not as good as descendants. They are not Prince Ning and cannot receive their salary at all. Now they are just taking some of their salary to repay the debts that have been owed to the country. Is this wrong? If anyone among them voluntarily declares that they give up their status as a royal family, don't want titles, and become like ordinary people, they naturally don't have to repay the debts."
Xia Yuanji's old face turned dark, and Xu Jingchang also changed his face and color.
He stopped.
Xia Yuanji said: "The main force in tax collection is the Tongzheng Department. I can only do my best to cooperate with Xu Tongzheng."
Xu Jingchang smiled, "No need. With His Majesty's wisdom, he will definitely choose the most appropriate method. As a minister, how can he invade the power of the emperor?"
Jian Yi said calmly: "If you want your Majesty to decide on the matters of the royal family, let your Majesty decide. We should not say much. The most important thing at the moment is to start with the case of King Ning, investigate the tax arrears, and punish the unscrupulous businessmen. Xia Shangshu, what do you think here?"
"Yes, that's why your Majesty needs to choose one!"
Zhu Di frowned, "Is it double or twice? You can make it clear."
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Guan Tian Jian, I have asked the Cabinet Bachelor to draw up three sets of strategies, and I will present it to Your Majesty soon. I will just wait for Your Majesty's decree to implement it."
Zhu Di, why don’t you play according to the routine?
Xu Jingchang pondered for a moment and immediately stood up, "I call on Your Majesty. The purpose of this rectification of finance and taxation is to enrich the national treasury and fulfill His Majesty's instructions at the beginning of the year."
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment and stood up, "Reply to Your Majesty's words, this is what I wrote."
This technique is very good, and the Ministry of Revenue will also learn it in the future.
Xu Jingchang cried, "Your Majesty, if you follow this method, the treasure banknote will completely collapse and will become similar to waste paper at that time. No matter what, you can't do this."
"Your Majesty, whether it is new or old, it is issued by the court. As a result, because the old and old treasure banknotes were issued over the years, the old treasure banknotes were discounted too quickly, and the new treasure banknotes continued to fall. Now only when the court first recognizes the value of the treasure banknotes and gradually recovers the old treasure banknotes, can the value of the treasure banknotes be stabilized. Only by stabilizing the value of the treasure banknotes can there be hopes to fill the national treasury deficit in a short period of time."
Song Li had nothing to say in an instant, and it made some sense, but who was willing to give up his identity as a royal family? It seems that the Ning King's line cannot escape.
Xu Jingchang really wanted to slap himself, but Zhu Di really doesn't understand!
Especially Xu Jingchang, this little bastard has never done any good things.
After saying that, Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji, "If you have no other opinions, just follow this strategy! It seems that I am really right to reinstate Mr. Jie."
"Whether it is a one-line or not, what's the difference?" Xia Yuanji frowned. Suddenly, he realized something and subconsciously stretched out a thumb.
Xu Jingchang patted his chest and made a loud noise, but Jian Yi didn't feel at all. On the contrary, he was creepy and goosebumps appeared.
Xu Jingchang had no choice but to say: "At least one and a half times."
Jian Yi looked at everyone and announced that the end of the New Year meeting.
"Three sets of strategies? Are there too many? Do you need to discuss it first and take out the safest one and leave it to Your Majesty?" Song Li tried to suggest.
"Xu Tongzheng, I would like to advise you that there are enough things in the Ming Dynasty now. You should just calm down and let everyone live a peaceful life. I am currently presiding over the Beijing Prefecture and assessing all officials. Don't let me deal with it."
Xia Yuanji also simply said, "Your Majesty, I have calculated that the land tax needs to be reduced and exempted, so it is impossible to collect too much. The commercial tax collection involves too much, and it may not be necessary to fill the deficit for a while... The easiest way is to restore the value of the treasure banknote and then..."
Zhu Di finally smiled a little, "This is almost the same. Since you have money, I will first allocate two million to me. I will compile the Yongle Ceremony. By the way, let Xuesai serve as the chief clerk, and recruit hundreds of erudite scholars to study books with him... Eat, drink, defecate, and you can find a way."
"But those two points are the same!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Official Jian Tian, if you want to believe me, the entire Ming Dynasty is the one who knows how to calm things down. Don't worry, with me here, there will definitely be no problem."
Zhu Di nodded, "That's right, the way to learn the scholars is effective immediately and will surely enrich the treasury. I think it's good."
Zhu Di rolled his eyelids, picked up three strategies, looked over and over again, and soon Zhu Di said: "It's not good, it's not good. In addition to understanding the bachelor's strategy, both strategies say they are to register and make up the taxes since last year, and they also agreed to pay the old treasure banknotes. I have heard that the old treasure banknotes have always been only a dozen cents, which is not much better than waste paper. I asked you to enrich the national treasury and collect so many useless things. What do I rely on to do to govern? How to promote the prestige of the country?"
Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji were even more speechless. How could this happen? They had to spend it before they got the money?
This is the Ming Dynasty. Is it too much for you to do advanced consumption?
"Your Majesty, can you tell me that you can make free books first, and then give everyone salary after you succeed?"
Zhu Di snorted: "Xu Jingchang, don't eat today. I will give you six meals tomorrow. How about it?"
Well, there is another one today... three updates every day, and updates from time to time... Please support everyone.
