Chapter 570: In full swing
Now that he has the treasury, it really seems that he has never seen money, and on the second day, Song Jingsheng led the guards of the foreign carrier warehouse to the tooth store to complete the delivery of tax revenue.
The sum of the three prefectures is a total of 2.1 million taels.
However, if you want to deduct the loss, deduct the river expenses, deduct the government expenses, and so on, you have to pay more than 1.8 million taels.
One Nuoya plus five guns, but there is not so much money.
It can be seen that this power is still the most profitable.
It took 200,000 taels to die or live over there, and 1.8 million taels to be taken away with a sentence here.
It was already very cold on this day, and the snow was about to fall, but hundreds of people came here to watch.
There is even more discussion about this.
"How much silver is this?"
"Nearly two million taels!"
"Tsk, Guo Dan is really amazing!"
"Needless to say, I heard that Guo Dan had just arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, but he ordered all poor peasants to be exempted from taxes."
"Yes! Those old men collect taxes, but they force the people to have no food, and Guo Dan collects the same amount of taxes, but the people live better, how much do you say those old men have to take from it. ”
"This is a mistake, which official dares to make millions of taels, but those old men are afraid of being soft, and they only dare to force the people to pay taxes, but they don't dare to let those big landlords pay taxes, and Guo Dan is just the opposite, collecting taxes from those big landlords."
"Alas... It would be nice if our capital was also contracted to Guo Dan. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
......
They didn't know that this had already reached the ears of the cabinet ministers.
Behind stood Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue.
In order to avoid embarrassment, the two quietly came to the back corner.
"It may be a coincidence once, but it's the case every time, it's not a coincidence, but he really has this strength!" Wang Jiaping couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Xijue said: "Regarding this matter, I have also pondered for a long time, why officials can't collect taxes, but Guo Dan can bring taxes up." The reason is that Guo Dan has a way to make those big landlords earn more, so that everyone will be willing to pay taxes. ”
Wang Jiaping nodded and said: "Actually, I think it is really possible to let Guo Dan enter the court as an official, and he has the ability to help the country improve the government." ”
Wang Xijue said: "Then he has to be willing, Your Majesty has already asked him, even if the oath is true, he can not say it, it can be seen that he is unwilling to enter the court as an official." ”
Wang Jiaping asked, "Why is this?" ”
......
A no-tooth line!
"Song Shilang, you also saw it, it's all empty, I didn't lie to you, I even paid the tax revenue of Weihui Mansion, and I have to find money to fill this hole next year."
Guo glanced at the already empty treasury, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Song Jingsheng just glanced at it, but he didn't have the slightest sympathy: "This is all self-inflicted." ”
Guo Dan said: "If I am not mistaken, it was the court that forced me to do the next, not my willingness." ”
Song Jingsheng didn't make a sound, these words were really heart-piercing, this didn't kill Guo Dan, he felt extremely frustrated, and took the people and horses to escort the silver out of the tooth shop.
The treasury suddenly increased by more than 1.8 million taels, which is of course a good thing, but the officials are not very happy about it, because when it comes to the oil and water of these state capitals, they have also disappeared, Guo Dan will not bribe them, this money has to enter the foreign carrier warehouse, and it is not so easy to reach in again.
"After taking so much money and leaving, I didn't even say thank you, is this the obligation?"
Guo Dan smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
"Husband!"
Kou Zhuansha walked over and comforted: "Don't be angry, this money should have been handed over to the imperial court, as long as we didn't lose anything." ”
Regarding the taxes of Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing, in fact, Guo Dan did not make any money from it, he said that it was light, but he actually took out all the profits from the sale of Kaifeng Mansion, plus the taxes from the sale of land and those big landlords, so that the taxes were paid.
If he counts his time, he has lost some, after all, he has spent a lot of energy there, and if he uses it in Weihui Mansion, he may earn even more.
But for him, as long as he doesn't lose, the money belongs to investment.
Guo Dan turned his head to look at Kou Liansha, suddenly laughed, and put one hand on Kou Liansha's shoulder, "I'm not angry, I just think they are quite pitiful, only more than one million taels, and I'm afraid that I will pay my debts, this is the reason why I don't want to be an official, and there is a poor sour air all over my body." ”
"You're amazing, always open-mouthed."
Kou Liansha immediately gave Guo Dan a roll of his eyes.
Guo Dan laughed and said, "Let's take a look, let's take a look at our little vault." ”
Although the vault was emptied in the blink of an eye, the husband and wife were extremely relaxed and did not feel lost at all.
Because the money is placed here, it is handed over to the imperial court.
If the court wants to be really poor and hungry, then they will really become pigs, and they still have to be given.
Coming to the president's office, Kou Zhuansha sat in the president's seat, took an account from the drawer and handed it to Guo Dan, and said, "Regarding the accounts from Weihui Mansion, the Finance Department has sorted them out. ”
After Guo Dan took it, Kou Zhuansha continued: "The tax revenue of Weihui Mansion this year is double that of last year, of which the Ding tax has increased by about forty percent, this is because many people in Kaifeng Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion and Zhangde Mansion have gone to Weihui Mansion to work, and the main increase is from the deed tax, and the transaction volume this year is almost three times that of last year, and the amount is very large, resulting in a lot more deed tax than last year." ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Is the account on the Qian Zhuang's side out?" ”
"Here."
Kou Zhuansha took out another financial report, put it in front of Guo Dan, and said: "In the past two months, the silver deposit has doubled, reaching as much as 400,000 taels.
The merchants who were originally going to do business in Weihui Mansion did not dare to act rashly now, and those merchants who were supposed to remit their profits to the capital or Nanjing did not make any moves, they should have waited for the result, if you win, then they will increase their investment.
This led to the hoarding of all the silver taels in the money bank of Weihui Mansion, and with the tax income of more than 500,000 taels of Weihui Mansion, almost one million taels of silver was already deposited in the bank. ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "So much money should be enough." ”
"Enough?"
Kou Zhuansha was surprised: "This is a million taels!" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Although the court is very poor, you can't look down on others too much, and if you fight with the court, you still have to spend this million taels." ”
Is the war of a million taels really a war? Kou Liansha chuckled inexplicably, "But it's not all our money. ”
Guo Dan said confidently: "You see when I have used my own money." ”
As he spoke, he took out the money bag, poured out five taels from it, and said shyly: "I have saved all the pocket money this month." ”
Kou Zhuansha snorted: "It's just right, I also want to talk to you about this, don't always use this pocket money to talk to outsiders, it seems that our Kou family has really treated you badly." ”
Speaking of the back, there is a hint of grievance.
Did you save these five taels?
Do you disdain to use it well?
You can squander a million taels at every turn.
Guo Dan sighed and muttered in a low voice: "You don't understand this, you see when I invited guests, and you see who borrowed money from me." ”
"You... You're so generous. ”
Kou Liansha glanced at Guo Dan angrily and funny, muttering in her heart, embarrassed to say that people are shabby.
"Don't talk about it." Guo Dan admonished, and said: "In addition, I want to tell you a good news, this year, we will not take a holiday, after all, Wutiao Gun has just been a joint-stock system, and we have also increased many shareholders in the tooth bank, and there are many things to do." ”
Kou Zhuansha's face was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "This... That's good news. ”
"I'm not done yet."
Guo Dan said again: "But I'm on vacation, and you've been bored at home for nearly a year, so I'll let you indulge this time." ”
Kou Zhuansha was indeed happy in her heart, she really didn't want to take a holiday, but she was ashamed to show it, glared at Guo Dan, and said coquettishly: "Phew! Sling the bull. Then he was curious: "You... Why are you on vacation? ”
Guo Dan said: "Because I may be outside for most of the year next year, I have to go to Weihui Mansion first, if the timing is right, I will go directly from Weihui Mansion to Jiangnan, and when I come back, I have to go to Tianjin Weiran, so I plan to spend this year with Xiao Xiang'er, I also want to pull you together, but I don't think you should be willing." ”
Didn't hear me!
I didn't hear anything!
Kou Zhuansha solemnly pointed to the report on Qian Zhuang's property in front of Guo Dan, "You haven't read this report yet." ”
"Haha......!"
On the same day, Kou Zhuansha issued a notice in the name of the president of the dental store that this year, whether it is Yinuo Dental or Wutiao Gun, all of them will not take a vacation.
The staff on both sides did not complain about this.
Because this year's year-end bonus is particularly large, which is double that of previous years.
Now that the money is in hand, it's easy to say anything.
Unlike in the past, the cabinet has not taken a vacation, and preparations are in full swing.
"Shen Shoufu, this is the list of officials who have been dispatched to various banknote customs this time."
Wang Xijue handed a list to Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing took it and took a look, the first person to look up was the last champion Tang Wen, looked at it carefully, and said, "These people are all newly promoted Jinshi!" ”
Wang Xijue first glanced at Wang Jiaping, and then said: "Uncle Zhong and I both think that one of the problems faced by the new tariff law is those related households, and the new Jinshi has not yet established a relationship in the court, and it is not very difficult to say this, but it is a little bitter, they are all young people, they should be able to bear it, and it can be regarded as an experience for them." ”
Shen Shixing looked at Wang Jiaping again.
Wang Jiaping nodded.
He was quite satisfied with this arrangement, but he was afraid that Wang Xijue would send all his own people, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other forces.
And Wang Xijue is by no means an ordinary person, and his means are also powerful, he doesn't use his own people, not only because he is afraid of people gossiping, but he is also afraid that his own people will do wrong things, what should he do if he meets an old acquaintance?
Sending those newly promoted scholars can not only stop other people's mouths, but also entrap these new jinshi, because if they do a good job, they can be promoted on this ground in the future, and they will naturally become cabinet-centered officials.
And those jinshi are also very willing, because now the solidification of the DPRK is too serious, it is difficult for them to ascend to the position, and this is an opportunity for them to emerge.
This is for a very long-term perspective.
However, the fundamental purpose has not changed, that is, to strengthen the power of the cabinet and the power of the central authorities.
......
Outside the South Castle.
"Grandpa, it's so cold, you better go home and rest."
Liu Chengbian persuaded Liu Zongcheng with a concerned face.
"Out of the way, out of the way."
Liu Zongcheng waved his hand and said, "This time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Liu family, and we must not afford to lose it." ”
As he spoke, he walked forward, only to see a large group of people standing outside the city gate, they were the official teeth and some private teeth of the capital.
"Old man Liu is here!"
"Old man Liu!"
......
When they saw Liu Zongcheng coming, they bowed one after another.
Liu Zongcheng nodded and said: "You have been in the tooth shop for many years, those high-sounding words, old decay will not be much to say, you must remember that the best result for our official teeth is the success of this reform, if it fails, the consequences are unimaginable."
But if you succeed, this benefit is naturally indispensable to you, you must act impartially, do not collect any money, maybe the money you accept is Guo Dan's money, then it is not your personal business, your whole family may suffer a catastrophe.
I believe you haven't forgotten the fate of Jiang Shiyou. ”
"Old man Liu, please rest assured, we all know what is at stake."
"Hmm."
Liu Zongcheng nodded and said, "Don't be afraid of offending people, there is a cabinet behind us to support us." ”
......
Qianqing Palace.
"How's it going, is the money coming?"
Wanli asked Zhang Whale excitedly.
Zhang Whale said: "Back to Your Majesty, the household department is only willing to allocate 50,000 taels to the internal transportation warehouse." ”
"Fifty thousand taels, are they sending beggars?"
Wanli pointed at Zhang Whale angrily and said, "What did you do in the East Factory?" ”
Zhang Whale hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the household department is in the name of Your Majesty's hard work and the cabinet's tariff reform, saying that they want to save more money for emergencies, and many ministers in the DPRK and China also support the household department." ”
Zhang Cheng nodded silently and said, "In advance, many ministers have played a concert, asking for a reduction in palace expenditures and more money for national construction, but the ministers have not had time to present it to Your Majesty." ”
It's not that he didn't have time, but he didn't dare to show it to Wanli.
Wanli couldn't see it and died of anger.
Those ministers are not good at stubble, if Guo Dan didn't have the support of Wanli, would he be able to get to where he is today?
It's been dead a long time ago, and there is no scum left.
Wanli is the culprit.
The ministers are also trying their best to make Wanli uncomfortable.
You disgust us, and we will disgust you.
In fact, they have long wanted to reduce palace expenditures, indeed, this palace expenditure is a little too much, and the key treasury has no money, after all, there is also a Taifu Temple over there that has shared a large amount of money.
"Revenge!"
Wanli said angrily: "They are retaliating, retaliating against me for supporting Guo Dan, but they don't want to think about it, if I don't support Guo Dan, can the treasury get this 1.8 million taels?" No, factory minister, you immediately send the brocade guards, I don't believe they dare not to give it. ”
Zhang Whale said: "Your Majesty, the minister just went with Commander Liu, but the household department took out all the accounts of the treasury, and it is true that the treasury is relatively tight. ”
Wanli blinked, and after a while, he stomped his foot fiercely and said, "This group of guys is really hateful!" Oops! Oops! ”
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Li Gui hurriedly stepped forward to support Wanli.
This fat house stomped too hard and forgot too much, and as a result, his feet were numb.
"Are they going to starve me to death?" Wanli sat on a chair and patted the table.
The timing was so ruthless that he really didn't dare to ask for this money, because he knew that something would really go wrong.
Zhang Whale said: "Your Majesty, Guo Dan has always been blessed by His Majesty and has made a lot of money, why don't you let him come up with some money first." ”
In fact, he didn't try to ask for it, he hoped that Wanli would let Guo Dan come out with this money, can the money from the treasury still run? But he hasn't touched that small vault yet, and the inner carrier vault has always been in his charge, and he hopes to be able to intervene in Wanli's small vault this time.
Wanli frowned slightly, his face was entangled, he had also thought about it, but what he was entangled with was that Guo Dan's money could still give birth to cubs, and the money in the treasury was purely used to spend.
After a long period of confusion, he said: "Factory minister, you go and think of a way to reduce the palace expenditure next year." ”
Zhang Whale was stupid, what kind of drug did Guo Dan give Wanli, and he would rather reduce expenses than touch that small treasury.
This is very unfulfilling!
......
Kou's house!
"Yay! Son, do you know how many obstacles you have to break through if you want to hug you, it's really not easy! But don't worry, your Lao Tzu has taken a long vacation, and he will serve you these days. Unhappy? ”
"Wow--- wow--- wow!"
"No, you're so faceless."
Guo Dan was whitewashed and changed into new clothes, which was only then that Kou Shouxin was gracious and hugged Kou Chengxiang, but as soon as he was in his arms, Kou Chengxiang cried.
"Hey, hey, don't cry, be a man and know how to stop in moderation, don't make Lao Tzu angry."
"Wow--- Wow---!"
Kou Chengxiang cried even more heartbreakingly.
Crying made Guo Dan scared.
After all, he rarely takes children and is a little overwhelmed.
"How's that okay?"
"Uncle, the little young master is very recognizable, let me hug it and it will be fine."
A wet nurse stepped forward.
"Really?"
Guo Dan hurriedly handed over Kou Chengxiang to the nurse.
Sure enough, the nurse stopped crying as soon as she took over.
Guo Dan was embarrassed, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "It's my son, this milk is the mother, haha, at a young age, I know that I go to the milk and give the nurse face, after all, my silver, he can't use it for the time being, this is right, you feed him first, and after he is full, he will recognize people." ”
"Uncle, I just fed you."
“.....?”
Guo Dan couldn't help but sniff the sleeves of his shirt and muttered, "This freshly changed clothes don't stink!" ”
