"This Nima's, this is also a crossover, it's a bit of a dick!" After reading the second book, Zhu Youxiao complained fiercely in his heart.

This guy's vision is too far, he has just wiped out the Monan Mongolia and Jurchen here, the tile thorn has not been cleaned up, Qinghai Tibet, the frontier Tusi has not been smooth, and even the opening of the sea has only been open for more than a year, and he has just connected with Western merchants and started sea trade, which is thinking about the land outside, even if it is the inspiration from the Ryukyus, it is not so exaggerated.

"Who is this Lai Si Xing?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

Lai Si Xing is the head of the current Stagecoach Academy, which Zhu Youxiao knows, but when he was appointed to this position, it was also because of the recommendation of the cabinet, and he himself did not know much about this minister.

"Lai Sixing is a native of Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, and he has been quick thinking since he was a child, and he is quite insightful about various affairs, and Yu Jun's strategy is also good." Xu Guangqi gave a brief introduction, but it was just ordinary. Only the army's slight insight surprised Zhu Youxiao.

These literati of the Ming Dynasty are so eccentric, their talents are often crooked, and they are not good civil officials, so they go to engage in military strategy and generals, and lead the army to fight. What Zhu Youxiao didn't know was that in history, when he came to Sixing to rectify Jinmen, he happened to encounter the White Lotus uprising led by Xu Hongru, so he sent troops to quell the rebellion, broke Zou and Teng counties, captured Xu Hongru alive, and sacrificed his prisoners to His Majesty.

Although Xu Guangqi's introduction made Zhu Youxiao a little surprised, but it was not to the point of surprise, another cow was buried by history, no matter how he behaved in history, but the insight he put forward today alone gave Zhu Youxiao a reason to reuse him.

"Elder Xu Ge, you go back and tell Lai Si Xing that I have seen his performance and am very satisfied, let him do it according to his own ideas, and first get out the passenger transport system of Ryukyu, Dayuan, Qiongzhou and the three islands along the coast."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi bowed down, and then came up with some twists and turns, some of which were policies to be implemented by various departments next year, which needed to be approved by the emperor, and some of which were resolutions made by the cabinet and needed to be reviewed by the emperor, such as the cabinet wanted to set up a farmland and water conservancy bureau to promote agricultural technology, agricultural planning, and water conservancy renovation.

There is also the transfer of water printing press technology, which is the proprietary technology of the Imperial Daily, but the role of this technology is too great to rely on the institutions set up by the Imperial Daily in the provincial capitals alone, so the cabinet hopes to implement the diffusion of technology.

And Zhu Youxiao's decision is also very simple, take money to buy, you can use any technology you want, but you have to pay for it, whether it is for government use or private use, one word, take money, and use this technology if you don't take money, and when the time comes, it will not be the police who will come forward, but Jinyiwei will come forward, and the crime is to endanger national security interests.

The twists and turns of each item were taken out by Xu Guangqi, and then Zhu Youxiao looked at them and put forward his own opinions, either affirming, rejecting, or revising and implementing. For some policies, Zhu Youxiao and Xu Guangqi also broke out into heated discussions, and Sun Chengzong also participated from time to time.

In the entire palace, there was the sound of three people arguing, which made the palace guards guarding outside look at each other, not knowing what the three bigwigs were doing inside, but they were fighting.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Xu Guangqi picked up the last book, "Your Majesty, bear with me, this book will be gone." ”

Glancing at Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youxiao sighed, "The elder is gone, and there are still a lot of things on the side of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

These words made the two old men laugh and say nothing, no way, now that he has a daughter, the emperor is becoming more and more difficult to see, and next year, who knows if he will bring troops out, he can only use it hard once and use it until it is used up. These things are very important, related to the work of the beginning of next year, and it is best to be sloppy, and it is best to be able to determine it as soon as possible.

Despite this, Zhu Youxiao still cheered up and picked up the book after leaving, "Is this about ....... personal income tax?" ”

Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened suddenly, taxation has always been the foundation of the country, and if you want to move on this, you must be cautious and cautious, this tax was originally only mentioned by Zhu Youxiao once, but Xu Guangqi wrote it down, and even wrote it down with great importance, planning to levy this tax next year.

"Your Majesty once said that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and as a citizen of the empire, everyone has the responsibility to pay taxes, so the old minister plans to levy this tax." Xu Guangqi explained.

"Shinong industry and commerce, the four dimensions of the country, there is no reason to let businessmen bear the burden of national finances and taxes alone, and others are indifferent, so long, it will inevitably attract complaints. Moreover, there are a lot of policies approved now, and the cabinet will also move big next year, if it is based on the amount of commercial tax this year, it may not be enough next year, so the old minister wrote this note. ”

What Xu Guangqi said was quite reasonable, and Zhu Youxiao also nodded again and again, the commercial tax was only collected from commercial taxes, and there were a lot of other people who were not within the scope of collection, such as skilled craftsmen, civil servants, soldiers, and sailors, and these people accounted for a large proportion.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that in the future, there will be more and more such people, after all, not everyone is a businessman, and other jobs are also done.

"I have no opinion on the levy of individual income tax, but there are two issues that need to be revised and noted." Zhu Youxiao said slowly.

These words made Xu Guangqi numb again, and sure enough, he knew that none of the policies formulated by the cabinet could pass through His Majesty's eyes at one time, and every time the emperor would pick out all kinds of flaws, he didn't expect that personal income was so simple, and everyone was the same.

"First, it is necessary to set a threshold for personal income tax, the people of Daming are still too poor, if there is no bottom line of collection, the people will soon be miserable, and those low-level officials squeeze their people, and they really do everything."

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. The principle of taxation should be the way of heaven, not the way of man, so that is the right way. With the surplus money of the rich, it becomes a major policy of the country and cares for the people at the bottom, which is the true meaning of taxation. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. ”

"The threshold? The Way of Heaven? The way of man? Xu Guangqi thoughtfully chewed, the tax threshold is a good way, not only to let the tax collectors rationalize those low-level people who have no ability to resist, but to meet the standard, usually not so easy to mess with, not some small tax officials can move.

The last two sentences sublimate taxation, from the original technical level to the theoretical level, and this theory, the emperor summed up very appropriately, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It happens to be the opposite of the previous rise and fall of the world, but these two ideas are inexplicably harmonious, and the connotation of this makes Xu Guangqi think deeply.

"The second is that after the peasants' personal grain is sold, their income should not be included in the collection of individual income tax, and I promise the people of the world that the agricultural tax should not be collected again in this way. I can't break the trust of the people of the world. Zhu Youxiao said loudly.

He didn't want to learn from the later generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and make what would never be endowed a joke.

"Your Majesty is high-spirited." Xu Guangqi exclaimed, and then wrote down these two items, which is indeed a very pertinent suggestion.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the old minister is over, and it has been given to the metropolitan governor." Xu Guangqi put away the notes and folds, then bowed, shifted the position a little, and gave up the middle position to Sun Chengzong.

"Your Majesty has worked hard." Sun Chengzong saluted and said with some concern.

"It's okay, government affairs are important. However, I am young and fine, should I go back to rest. Zhu Youxiao rubbed his neck and said, after doing it all afternoon, his neck was sore.

"It's okay for the old minister, just to help His Majesty consult the military, political and military integration, mutual influence, maybe the old minister can offer some help." Xu Guangqi waved his hand and said, "However, can Your Majesty have some food, the debate at noon is too intense, and the old minister only ate a stomach of pastries and tea, and there is no food in this stomach, so he is hungry!" ”

"Wait a minute, I'm slacking off." Zhu Youxiao slapped his forehead, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that he was hungry. "Liu Ruoyu, let some light meals come over in the imperial dining room."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Ruoyu's voice was a little difficult to answer, he had been here all day, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he sighed and took this opportunity to go out for activities.

Soon, Queen Zhang Yan came in with a large number of palace maids and eunuchs with food, and the fragrant aroma of the food made the three people who had been busy all day suddenly drool and move their index fingers.

"The old minister has seen the queen's mother." Seeing Zhang Yan come in, Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong hurriedly saluted.

"You two have worked hard." Zhang Yan was also a blessing, and then turned her head to Zhu Youxiao's side, and said angrily, "Why is Your Majesty so busy, you don't even eat lunch, and you also drove out Qiuzhu who was sent by the concubine to greet her." ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Zhu Youxiao devoured his meal, without the slightest impression of this incident.

"Why not, Qiuzhu also ran over to complain to the concubine, saying that Your Majesty is so fierce that she scared her into crying."

"Haha, that's not mine." As soon as Zhang Yan said this, Zhu Youxiao was really impressed, he seemed to remember that at noon, there seemed to be such a palace maid pushing the door in, but at that time, he integrated the rise of Xu Guangqi's discussion, and was very unhappy to be interrupted, and he didn't let the palace maid open her mouth, and directly reprimanded the person.

I didn't expect that palace maid to be Qiu Zhu.

"Yes, then how is Your Majesty going to compensate?" Zhang Yan's eyes rolled and took the opportunity to say.

"What compensation do you want for the orb?" Zhu Youxiao asked without raising his head.

"Where is the concubine wanting, it's Qiuzhu wanting." Zhang Yan peeked at it and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Qiuzhu is not too young, can you let her go home and get married." ”

"Marriage?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Yan strangely, and that expression made Zhang Yan a little nervous.

"Baozhu, why did you ask me, didn't I say a long time ago that when the palace maid is old, let her go home, just make your own decisions."

"Ah, so, Your Majesty didn't say it, did you?" Zhang Yan asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you?"

"Nope."

"I just said that."

"Your Majesty......."

In the midst of such fighting, the three of them ran out of dinner and began to discuss military affairs.
