Hung Yen Bo House.

Xu Mengxi had already returned from the court, and Xu Jirong had just gotten up.

I saw this fool rub his eyes and come to the hall, and said vaguely: "Grandpa is back." ”

Xu Mengxi didn't care about this, after all, he longed for Xu Jirong's nightlife to be richer, and going out to have fun during the day was a pure waste of time, a waste of energy, and meaningless, he nodded with a smile and said, "Rong'er, when you came back from King Lu's Mansion, why didn't you tell your grandfather about the interesting things!" ”

Xu Jirong rubbed his nose and said, "My grandson also wants to tell my grandfather something interesting, alas... But there's nothing interesting to tell. ”

"Really?"

Xu Mengxi asked, "Isn't this Luwang Mansion fun?" ”

Xu Jirong pouted and said: "It's not fun at all, there's nothing there, so my brother also asked me to go there more to accompany him in the future, don't hide it from grandpa, my grandson is worried about it now!" ”

I have to say that this guy is really a lie, but he has to hide it from Xu Mengxi, because he knows that Xu Mengxi will not allow him to be a pirate.

Xu Mengxi looked at Xu Jirong suspiciously, and said, "That Guo Dan has always had a lot of ghost ideas, but this Luwang Mansion was designed by him himself, how can it be not interesting at all." ”

Xu Jirong immediately said: "My grandson thought the same as my grandfather at the time, but I didn't expect that he would be the same as his grandson, and it was the first time to go back, and I didn't know anything, so my grandson was depressed." ”

Xu Mengxi nodded and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" ”

Xu Jirong nodded.

Xu Mengxi smiled: "Then you go to have breakfast first, don't be hungry." ”

After Xu Jirong went out, Xu Mengxi smiled and said, "It's really close to Zhu Zhechi!" This kid followed Guo Dan, and his lying kung fu is really getting stronger and stronger. ”

Xu Mao on the side asked, "Master, how can you see it?" ”

Xu Mengxi said: "He is fun by nature, especially greedy for freshness, this is the first time he has gone back to Luwangfu, and Luwangfu is by the sea, how can he be bored, he must be lying." ”

Xu Mao asked, "But why did the little young master lie?" ”

"That's the key."

Xu Mengxi frowned slightly, and said: "Recently, many people have been trying to woo me, but the old man has never agreed, just because the old man thinks that His Majesty and Guo Dan are hiding unspeakable secrets in the Luwang Mansion, and now it seems that the old man is not wrong." ”

Now that interest group is very active, and it is also forming a gang, and the Xu family is rich and controls the Taifu Temple, so many people have come to woo Xu Mengxi, but Xu Mengxuan has politely refused and kept a distance from all factions.

Because he thinks that this matter may not be so simple, and it is easy to choose a side, and there will be endless troubles.

This is why he finally promised Xu Jirong that he could follow Guo Dan around.

......

This big drama is actually not over yet, and it has to be continued.

On the second day, Wanli instructed Zhang Cheng to ask the master of ceremonies to put pressure on the household department to allocate funds to the banknotes as soon as possible to control the river.

Tobe quickly spread the news.

The Ministry of Light Household was unable to resist the oppression of the celebrant priest.

This immediately caused an uproar in the DPRK and China.

It's been a long time.

The ministers knew with their eyes closed that this was what Wanli did.

Because Wanli used to do this often, what he said today, he won't admit it tomorrow.

If you don't believe in your words, in fact, that's nothing, anyway, we're all used to it, but the problem is that you actually put pressure on the Ministry of Household to allocate funds, in other words, you Wanli doesn't want to admit it, but also wants to maintain the cabinet.

You have to take advantage of your feelings.

How is that possible.

The minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee resolutely refuted the appropriation of the household department, and put pressure on Wanli, saying that the good monarch has no jokes, you say that you want to bear it in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, why do you not admit it in the blink of an eye, how can this work.

And this matter soon spread from the court to the people, and Shilin was of course resolutely opposed to Wanli's words and did not believe it.

The opposition is wave after wave.

Everyone began to criticize Wanli from various angles.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Wanli had to agree.

The household began to calculate all kinds of how to exchange.

But Wanli is not stupid, he didn't have a choice before, but now... Hehe... He directly hired Shin Xing to deal with the household department.

In the end, the household department did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but it is impossible to say that the household department will suffer in the face of Shinxing.

In the end, it was decided to reduce some in yellow wax, paper, and so on, in order to offset the tariffs, after all, the tariffs handed over to the household department in the past were really not much, and these goods, Weihui Mansion can be produced in large quantities, and they can be directly bought to supply the palace.

Of course, the emperor, the queen mother, the concubine, and some big eunuchs can not be moved, because they are all tributes, very precious, and they can't be bought with money, and the main cuts are used by palace maids and eunuchs, which can be purchased directly from Weihui Mansion.

In the end, Wanli published this exchange contract in the name of the holy decree, which has legal effect.

The ministers are all singing praises for Wanli.

Actually, they were celebrating.

It was another time that they had defeated the Emperor, and it was a wonderful feeling.

At the same time, Wanli immediately convened a cabinet meeting in the East Pavilion.

This meeting has just begun, and Wanli is Long Yan is furious.

"I finally understand today why Guo Dan repeatedly mentioned that human things will lead to tariffs that will make ends meet, so it is."

Wanli directly threw a piece of the chapter at Shen Shixing's feet, and said: "This is a piece of music given to me by Tang documents, which is clearly written, many merchants colluded with the powerful in the DPRK and China to put their goods on the ships of the powerful people in order to evade customs duties. ”

Shen Shixing frowned secretly, Tang Wenwen This is a leapfrog performance, bent down to pick up the music, opened it and looked at it, his heart was full of confusion, this music was obtained a year ago, and from the perspective of the format of the music, it should be given to the imperial court, not directly to the emperor, it can be seen that this should be Wanli through a special channel to get this music.

He handed it to Wang Xijue quietly, and he was also thinking in his heart about what Wanli meant.

Wang Xijue also saw at a glance that this was boring, and after a little silence, he immediately understood, first handed the chapter to Wang Jiaping, and then reported to Wan Liyu: "Back to Your Majesty, this kind of thing has indeed happened, and the minister also knows it." ”

Wanli frowned and said, "Then why didn't Aiqing say it?" ”

Wang Xijue stammered, "This is because... Because...! ”

Wanli is a wise gentleman: "Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I will forgive you first." ”

It's like urging, you don't want to say it quickly.

Wang Xijue was even more sure of what he thought in his heart, and then he said: "This is all because many powerful people are exempt from taxes, and they even involve His Majesty's ship.

Although His Majesty has now pardoned Tang Wenwen for his innocence and rewarded him, many officials are still more jealous for fear of getting into trouble, so they dare not investigate many ships. ”

Wanli frowned and said, "Is that really the case? ”

Wang Jiaping didn't think of the reason for this, but he felt that Wang Xijue was right, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Scholar Wang said is true, as long as someone is exempt from taxes, naturally there will be people who use this to evade taxes, such as this situation abounds in my Daming." ”

Why the Ming Dynasty couldn't collect taxes is a very important reason.

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is impossible to completely eradicate this matter...... ”

"Why can't it?" Wanli asked.

Shen Shixing sneered: "You can't tax your cargo ship Your Majesty." ”

Wanli asked rhetorically: "What does Shen Shoufu mean, is it that if I am willing to pay the customs duties, then this matter can be stopped?" ”

Shen Shixing blinked and said, "Back to Your Majesty, if even Your Majesty pays taxes, then... Nachen believed that no one dared to evade taxes. ”

Wanli immediately said: "Then let's do it!" On the same day, it was decreed that the banknotes must be taxed on some ships, including mine, and if there is a situation in the Tang literature in the future, then I will be severely punished. ”

Wang Jiaping and Yu Youding are confused, what's the situation?

Did the emperor want to tax himself?

This... It's incredible.

Suddenly, it occurred to them that all the income from the customs duties now belonged to the emperor, and that the emperor was taxing himself, and that was not putting the money of his left hand into his right hand.

Can Shamelessness still evolve?

After Wanli left, they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

This...?

Is this going to be solved?

You know, they've been trying to remove the privileges of some of the powerful, but they've never succeeded, and they've not made even the slightest progress.

I never thought it would be solved like this.

But they also have mixed feelings in their hearts.

They wanted to eliminate the privileges, and their purpose was to fill the treasury, but now the treasury did not benefit in the slightest, and all of it was earned by Wanli.

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue had long known that Wanli was going to seize the tariff, but they never expected that there was still a butcher's knife hidden here waiting for them.

But when they think about it, no matter who ends up with the money, at least the emperor has already started paying taxes, and this is definitely a good start.

They hurriedly moved, and on the same day, according to the meaning of Wanli, they conveyed the holy decree to the banknote, that all ships, no matter how big or small, no matter whose they were, must be issued tax stamps.

The sound of celebration in the middle of the court immediately stopped.

Surprised?

Not surprised?

......

Yinuo Money Bank.

"I really didn't expect it, it turns out that there is a lot of knowledge in this tariff!" Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan with a smile.

Guo Dan said: "I don't think the layman should be surprised, after all, my task is to help His Majesty make money, isn't it reasonable to do so." ”

Aunt Xu elegantly put down the teacup in her hand and said, "But have you ever considered that there is a very key reason why our dynasty is very corrupt. ”

Since she asked me, it shouldn't be the deep-seated reason. Guo Dan groaned for a moment and said, "Does the layman mean that the official's salary is too low?" ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said with a smile: "For Your Majesty, it's not enough to have money, you have to find a way to buy people's hearts, I think this can kill two birds with one stone." ”
