Section 785 Cabinet Meeting

The development goals of infrastructure, agricultural, industrial and commercial development, and people's livelihood have been set, and the general direction must not be changed, so there are fewer disputes, problems encountered, and problems are solved.

"Our revenues have increased dramatically! Last year's tax revenue exceeded 10 million taels of silver! Yao Minggong said happily, he reported on the financial situation: "The agricultural tax is 2 million taels, the industrial and commercial mining tax is 5.6 million taels (including direct mineral income), and the salt tax is 3.2 million taels!" More taxes this year! ”

He used to be the head of the household department of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he knew how embarrassed the finances were at that time, and he wanted to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in the Guannai and ask for money! Outside the Guan, you want to deal with Huang Taiji, ask for money! There are also floods, droughts, locust plagues, and need relief, and money, and poor Emperor Chongzhen is reluctant to buy even a new set of clothes!

"We are doing better than Zhang Taiyue, when he was in power, the annual income of the Wanli court in the fifth year was 4.35 million taels of silver, and this dynasty is fully twice as much as him......" He froze, stopped speaking, and everyone looked at him strangely.

Then he apologized to Yan Changwu and said, "Leader, I was rude, and suddenly I remembered Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party!" ”

"Nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian?" Everyone was interested, and listened to him preach: "According to the information, when the Donglin Party was in power, I collected 5 million taels of agricultural tax, several thousand taels of industrial and commercial tax, and only a few hundred taels of salt tax. During the Wei Zhongxian period, the agricultural tax was reduced to 1.8 million taels! The industrial and commercial tax revenue is more than one million taels! The salt tax is as much as 3.6 million taels! ”

Xijiang has the famous West Lake Longjing tea, which is famous all over the world and is marketed to Europe, which is a first-class product and expensive. Not to mention anything else, the tea tax of Longjing tea alone is enough to offset the poor industrial and commercial tax when the Donglin Party was in power, if you collect it seriously!

Due to the southeastern government to protect the shipping route, Longjing tea was indeed exported to Europe in large quantities, and the cashier was huge, but the Ming Dynasty did not receive a tax of one or two silver, and at that time, Yan Changwu partnered with the Donglin Party to smuggle, and then waited for Yan Changwu to come to power, and the Donglin Party was killed!

"Wow!" Everyone was amazed, and Yang Chengxin sneered: "So the leader is very correct to defeat the Donglin Party!" ”

He said professionally: "No matter how poor a businessman is, he is richer than a peasant, and he cannot force a businessman to rebel, but if he forces a peasant, the army of the whole country will not be enough!" ”

Ma Shiying also joked: "Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party, who is more harmful to the country and the people, it is clear at a glance!" ”

"Fifty steps and a hundred steps, but Wei Zhongxian, who is not highly educated, does a better job than the Donglin Party, who is rich and rich!" Yan Changwu instructed Ma Shiying: "Elder Ma Ge, you can make a magazine issue and compare them, so that everyone can better understand the true face of the Donglin Party." ”

"But the businessmen are very resistant to the minimum wage we have introduced this year, saying that they can't stand the fact that they have to pay so much money to hire workers because the taxes are so heavy!" Yao Minggong said.

"So it's important to do research to understand the impact of taxation on society and where the support points are. Also, Why did Emperor Chongzhen fail? That is the country is poor, the people are poor, and the real wealth is in the hands of the rich businessmen, corrupt officials and gentry in Jiangnan, as well as those Jin merchants! Yan Changwu sneered: "So you have to collect taxes, if you don't collect taxes, where will I get the money to pay you salaries, and where will I get the money to let the soldiers sell their lives?" I am the second Chongzhen Emperor! ”

He unscrupulously talked about Emperor Chongzhen, comparing himself to Emperor Chongzhen, everyone is accustomed to it, knowing that this pirate head has no psychology of reverence for the court at all, and now he doesn't have to worry about anything, fortunately, he is still quite respectful to Mazu Niangniang, such as his careful killing and caring about the people's livelihood, which is the holy theory of Niangniang's compassion.

Otherwise, following a lawless boss, everyone has to think about it.

But what he said is also true, the cash in Emperor Chongzhen's treasury is much less than that of the thief Yan Dada, and he is crazy about collecting taxes, which has already exceeded 10 million taels of silver!

And the rich man in the Jiangnan region definitely has more silver than Emperor Chongzhen, such as Wang Zhidong, the big boss of Quanzhou shipping, this guy is rich and rivals the country!

There is also a ham king Xu Bin in Jinhua area, this guy opened ten pig farms, and the products were sold to Japan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Europe by virtue of the great navigation routes, with huge income, his life was extremely luxurious, and he had a lot of food to win the emperor!

……

The income of businessmen ranged from successful business operations, tax evasion, and even exploitation of the income of employees.

The imperial court collected heavy taxes on merchants, and it can be said that they were handed over to the emperor and the southeastern duke, which was considered a tribute, and it was forgotten.

Yan Changwu wants to squeeze their oil for the poor, and now the government has actually announced the minimum wage, how much? The monthly income is 2 taels of silver, that is, the annual income is 12 taels of silver, which must not be lower than this amount, otherwise it is illegal, and the factory owners, merchants, and mine owners are naturally unhappy, so they have resisted.

Is this minimum wage much?

In the Ming Dynasty, an oil seller earned 20 taels of silver a year, and he was equivalent to being a private small boss; The annual income of making firewood and soap for the public is also 20 taels of silver, and the butcher has an annual income of 40 taels of silver, so 12 taels of silver is only enough to live, but there are still many people who can't get these silver!

For example, apprentices and helpers in shops, sellers of goods, maids and maids at home, etc., must reach this number for cooking and boiling water on the construction site.

The people's hearts are like iron, the official law is like a furnace, Yan Changwu decided to force this policy at the cabinet meeting!

"Everyone must have benefits, let the people get benefits, and if the businessmen don't do it, they will be dealt with according to law!" Yan Changwu said hesitantly.

"I'll add a little more!" Xiong Yumei, who has not been silent, said that she does not call "concubine" like other women, but directly uses "I", in fact, people in the Southeast Prefecture system like to use the word "I", even Yan Changwu is the same.

"We must vigorously crack down on corrupt officials and provide a good business environment for businessmen, I think fishing law enforcement is very good, and not too much, so as not to cause unease among officials, but there are a few cases every year, so that officials can remember that the court is staring at them!" Xiong Yumei proposed.

"Madame is right!" Yan Changwu praised.

The meeting of the day was held until the afternoon, and at noon Yan Changwu invited everyone to have dinner together, after all, he had been away for so long, although most of the affairs had been dealt with, but they had to be confirmed and reviewed by him, in addition, there were some things that Xiong Yumei and the cabinet could not decide, such as supplementary members of the cabinet.

Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu resigned, vacating the positions of two cabinet ministers, and who can enter the cabinet is Yan Changwu's power.

"Plugging Yinxi to appease the loyalty battalion has done a good job and has made great contributions, this person has a strategic vision and can enter the cabinet!"

"Well, Yao Ge Lao is in charge of major affairs, and he is handed over to Gu Yinxi to be in charge of the military department, Yang Ge Lao is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, Ma Ge Lao is in charge of the household department, and as for the other cabinet minister, Ruan Dacheng is in charge of the rule of law, and is in charge of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple!" Yan Changwu made the final decision, so Ruan Dacheng, who was loyal to the dog, got the bones and reached the peak of his life.

There is no cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of Rites in the six departments, but in fact, it is more powerful than the cabinet ministers, because it is Xiong Yumei who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites!

Everyone's hearts are in their hearts, the leader has understated that he has already reshuffled the power, such as Yao Minggong's previous management of the Ministry of Officials, and suddenly became Yang Chengxin's Ministry of Management, and his previous management of the Ministry of War became the person in charge of the Ministry of War, so the leader is very qualified, and no one will be able to hold power for a long time and control a certain department.

After the assignment was completed, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, I suddenly heard the sound of blowing and beating music towards the Guogong Mansion.

Everyone is wondering, you must know that keep quiet in front of the Guogong Mansion, ordinary people are not close to the Guogong Mansion.

The news soon came, and it turned out that Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came with a holy decree and named Yan Changwu as the king of the southeast on behalf of the emperor.

These three words...... It's not there yet! Yan Changwu said.

"Three resignations don't have to be three, just show your attitude, the leader doesn't have to resign, so as not to chill everyone's hearts, please take the throne!" Yao Minggong arched his hand.

"Not bad!" The other two ministers said in unison.

"Good!" Yan Changwu was not hypocritical, and said briskly: "Prepare to receive the order!" ”
