Chapter 164: Views
Kangxi received the bidding plan from the ninth elder brother, and after a while, the fourth elder brother handed over the excerpt of the new tax law of the household department, and the fourth elder brother also brought the letter from the ninth elder brother to him.
"Do you think Lao Jiu's method can be done?" Kangxi is not very sure, he drove the imperial businessman away, and in the future, he even found someone he didn't know to undertake the royal affairs, and it was uncomfortable to think about Kangxi.
In Kangxi's view, Brother Jiu is actually excessive. Who didn't be careful, coupled with the words of a caring person, the thorn in Kangxi's heart is getting bigger and bigger, in his opinion, this is grace, but it was made into such a commercial operation method by Brother Jiu, and the royal family cares about this money? Brother Jiu's little family is angry. And what others say is not necessarily wrong, I am afraid that Lao Jiu wants to use this seemingly fair method to purge the internal affairs government and eliminate the influence of Suo Etu, I am afraid that "Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong"! So at this time, the fourth elder brother sent the fold of the new tax law, and he wanted to ask the fourth elder brother what he thought.
The fourth elder brother didn't expect Huang Ama to ask at the beginning, smiled, took out the letter from the ninth elder brother from his sleeve, and presented it directly to Kangxi without explaining. Kangxi saw it and knew that he had misunderstood again, Lao Jiuxin was very clear, he couldn't spare those people, those who had the money to buy foreign goods didn't care about spending more, and collected taxes according to two and a half percent of their profits, the more expensive you sell, the more you pay, and use the tax law to control prices. Judging from the statement in the letter, Lao Jiu didn't intend to spare those people, if it was the original imperial businessmen, I was afraid that Lao Jiu would dare to accept it like this, and Kangxi wouldn't do it. Now, regardless of whether it is a foreign merchant or a merchant of the Qing Dynasty, Lao Jiu wants to pluck the goose. Whether it is the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Households, he has calculated it.
"Alas, how can such a good child be so able to settle accounts, and he can think of all kinds of money-making projects like this?" Kangxi sighed lightly, unable to tell whether he was happy or worried.
And the fourth elder brother, he really wants to implement this bill, not only for those compradors of the thirteen lines, but for the world's businessmen who can pay taxes according to their varieties, and those who sell luxury goods have high profits, can it be the same tax rate as those who open small restaurants? If this is changed, the household can be a little more relaxed, although Mongolia is not fighting now, but the household still has no money, looking at the world of the peaceful Qing Dynasty is actually in crisis, every year major disasters and small disasters continue, these have to get money from the household department.5./books/41/41449/
A superstar of the future. But the household department has no money, and he doesn't have the courage of the ninth elder brother now, so he can only earn a little more.
Kangxi looked at the fourth elder brother and said, "The matter of the new tax law, let's talk about it, I let the ministers in the study discuss it." Kangxi is still hesitating, after all, raising taxes is the practice of a faint monarch, who doesn't want to be a Daoming monarch?
As soon as Kangxi said this, the fourth elder brother's joy just now was washed away, but he didn't show anything on his face, answered and retreated.
"Is there a letter from Kyosato?" Kangxi asked Li Dequan, Li Dequan is the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, if he doesn't know those things in the Internal Affairs Office, it is nonsense. But Kangxi still didn't want to change him, judging from the list of Brother Jiu, Li Dequan at least did not participate, but received the money.
"Yes!" Li Dequan pondered the holy will, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and thought, "The slave received a few letters from the old guys, and there was quite resentment between the words. ”
Li Dequan let out a long sigh, he is not like this on weekdays, it is not easy for him to climb to today, long live the Lord brought him out, something happened, and he didn't let people tie himself up, he wrote down this grace, so Kangxi asked now, and he said it bluntly.
"Lao Jiu did something wrong?" Kangxi immediately asked.
"After reading the old guys' letters, the minions are really relieved, if they are really simple, the minions will have a better life." Li Dequan smiled.
Kangxi was stunned, glanced at Li Dequan, thought about what he said just now, and understood what Li Dequan meant. No one is born greedy, but when I am given a greedy environment, I am not greedy, I ********, and even the possibility of death, then most people will choose to go with the flow. Although the eighth child has not cleaned up the environment, at least it is changing, and who is not happy to be able to take the right path and live with peace of mind?
"Too impulsive!" Kangxi still sighed lightly. Li Dequan knew that at this time, Long Live Lord didn't need him to talk much, so he honestly shut up.
And in Beijing, Brother Jiu has lived directly in the duty room of the court since Kangxi left Beijing, and he can't say that Long Live Lord is not there, and several ladies are not there, he is the biggest person in the palace, and he has nine heads that are not enough to cut off; Go home and live, and keep an eye on it here. Besides, there is another advantage to living directly in the class room, that is, if there is anything in the palace, he can go to the internal affairs office with Zhang Tingyu or Tong Guowei to handle it, and everyone can be a witness to each other. But Brother Jiu also made a clear difference, "National affairs, you don't ask me, ask Huang Ama to go!" Although I am nominally a prisoner of the country, in fact, it is only for the purpose of cleaning up the Internal Affairs Office, and I don't care about anything else. ”
After Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei tried a few times, they didn't talk anymore, in fact, Zhang Tingyu and Tong Guowei didn't plan to let Brother Jiu take charge of military affairs at all, but they just had a name, so it was not good to ask at all. Now that Brother Jiu has spoken, they have saved a lot of trouble.
Tong Guowei has actually been in charge of the Internal Affairs Office for a while, and he knows the things inside very clearly. Although he also received a lot of money at the beginning, basically, he didn't agree with it, but he didn't dare to care. Now that he sees that Brother Nine is in charge of this, he begins to think that the double reed sung by Long Live Lord and Brother Nine Elder Brother can't stand it anymore, so let Brother Nine take this thunder. As a result, Long Live Lord called himself and Zhang Tingyu to the front before leaving Beijing, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face. Tong Guowei didn't know what Zhang Tingyu thought, but he sympathized with Brother Jiu at that moment. couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Brother Jiu is really stupid, what are you doing in front of people who don't do it?" Those who contribute money and effort can't be pleased. And in this way, everyone has offended, and you still want to compete for a big position, so dream about it! ”
Tong Guowei didn't know what to think of this Jiubei master for a while. So when they were on duty, they didn't have much to do, it turned out that Tong Guowei didn't have a special impression of this Jiubei Ziye, and he had always been close and distant to the smart, flexible and favored one, so the two wouldn't talk anything. When Brother Jiu is fine, he reads, paints, and tinkers with gadgets, and Tong Guowei reads excerpts, and the two do not interfere with each other.
After so many times, Tong Guowei secretly asked Zhang Tingyu if Brother Jiu also read and painted when he was with him, and Zhang Tingyu nodded. said that he also asked Brother Jiu if he often painted, and Brother Jiu said that from learning to paint, it is necessary to draw for a while when he has time, which is the same as reading, and it takes hard work.
