Daming is old, there are too many problems, and they are all stubborn diseases, but the fat house is only in his twenties, and this young heart with an elderly body will naturally look out of place.

Either the heart accelerates aging and caters to his body, which is how it developed in history, Wanli simply hid in the deep palace, played with girls, and counted the silver.

Either the heart injects new blood into the body and rejuvenates it.

And Wanli was already hovering on the verge of aging, it was Guo Dan who was holding him with one hand, otherwise, he would have fallen into the deep palace, he had just been in power, and he also wanted to do something, but he suddenly found that his hands and feet couldn't move at all.

It's also a dry yarn.

It was Guo Dan's appearance that made him see a glimmer of life.

However, Shen Shixing's sudden defection made him even more excited.

Shen Shixing is the old right hand, but unfortunately Shen Shixing is already in his fifties, and his will has gradually become depressed, and even lost his way.

Zhang Juzheng was decisive and stubborn, but it was just a shot of strength, which made Daming feel good for a while.

He believes that Zhang Juzheng's set is a fatal flaw, and after he took office, he chose another path, treating people leniently, speaking widely, and respecting morality.

are the opposite of Zhang Juzheng.

But it didn't work either.

Hard doesn't work, and neither does soft.

That's only and mud.

But Guo Dan came out again, turning the world upside down, and he had to take care of it as the first assistant, if he dealt with Guo Dan, he would be in the hands of the officials, and if he helped Guo Dan, he would be the enemy of the bureaucrats in the world.

He was also very angry in his heart.

This reform made him see that the bureaucracy in the DPRK and Central China was not saved, so he simply found another way out on his own.

But Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue are still full of ambition, although the salt tax has poured cold water on them, but it is not enough to make them despair, they just think that the time is not right, this matter has to be done step by step, and the power of the cabinet must be strengthened first.

And this tariff reform is a very good opportunity.

They worked hard to revise a new tariff system.

But first of all, they did not want to seek the emperor's consent, but to obtain the consent of the ministers, because the emperor was on Guo Dan's side, and the ministers were not united, and the emperor would definitely not agree.

Therefore, they first convened a cabinet meeting to explain the new tariffs to various forces.

First of all, it is to integrate the commercial tax, except for special goods such as salt and iron, the rest of the commercial tax is integrated into customs duties and municipal taxes.

When everyone heard this, they immediately thought of a person, Zhang Juzheng.

Isn't this a whip for the commercial tax version?

You just want to strengthen your cabinet.

Li Zhi said: "Isn't it tariffs that we talked about today? How do you talk about business taxes again? ”

Many ministers nodded.

You don't do this, we're not stupid.

Wang Xijue said: "Everyone, if you don't do this, the tariff reform in the future will not be possible. The crisis in Kaifeng Mansion last year has already illustrated this problem, and the reason why there is a crisis in Kaifeng Mansion is because Kaifeng Mansion levied commercial taxes on the caravans of Weihui Mansion, but the Daimyo Mansion did not collect taxes, which caused the people of Kaifeng Mansion to be very dissatisfied with what the government did, which caused turmoil.

There is no right or wrong in this matter, they are all planning for their own state capital, but it is because of their diametrically opposed policies that the contradiction is caused.

If it is not planned by the imperial court, and the state governments are separated, then what is the point of tariff reform? ”

Oh... After doing it for a long time, you are still targeting Guo Dan!

Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, "Although you are right, who doesn't want to be simple, but some things just can't be simple, every state capital has its own difficulties, and this one-size-fits-all is not very good." ”

He wanted to say something for Guo Dan, but he helped Wang Xijue.

Li Zhi: They began to hesitate.

The reason why Guo Dan was not strangled to death in the first place was because the Daimyo's Mansion lacked an opening, which led to the failure of besieging Guo Dan, and why the Daimyo's Mansion did this, the reason is very simple, it is because of money, so in the future, no matter what tricks they make, Guo Dan can secretly stuff money.

If it is controlled by the central government, then as long as they are united, they can attack Guo Dan on all fronts.

Moreover, in this link of dealing with Guo Dan, everyone must be united, because Guo Dan is the enemy of the entire bureaucracy.

Their strategy is to kill Guo Dan first, this guy is getting more and more terrifying, five guns worth 500,000 taels, nearly a million taels of Yinuo Yaxing, and four state capitals, and let him continue to develop, then they will die.

In addition, this was led by Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue, and Shen Shixing sat there without making a sound.

This weighs the pros and cons, and everyone gritted their teeth and admitted.

Zhang Whale didn't really want to agree, but Zhang Cheng didn't want to agree either, so he felt that it was better to agree, Zhang Cheng had a close relationship with Guo Dan, which was a double threat to him.

Wang Jiaping was secretly surprised, he didn't expect everyone to agree so quickly, and he still had nothing to say! After reacting, sit there and steal the fun.

Under this premise, Wang Xijue began to elaborate on tariff reform.

First of all, it is grain, the grain is taxed by region, the state capital that is short of grain, the export of grain is subject to high taxes, but the import of grain is tax-free, for Jiangnan and other places, as long as the grain is exported to the state capital where there is a shortage of grain, the tariff is completely exempt, the city tax is also very low, and the tariff on daily necessities of the people is reduced, and the luxury tax is added.

When the people sitting listened to it, they didn't want to scold their mother.

You've got to make inches!

You are dealing with Guo Dan, you are dealing with us!

When I'm not happy, I like to buy pearls, buy nanmu, buy spring palace paintings, buy houses, and you will be taxed all.

And there are a lot of levies, such as pearls, nanmu, and expensive silk, all of which are taxed at 30%.

You're going to us off!

There is no need for tacit understanding, and everyone opposes it for various reasons.

For example, if you're too difficult and complicated, don't you want to simplify?

And those who sell grain are also merchants, and those who sell pearls are also merchants, you are not fair!

In fact, it is unfair to the rich.

Wait a minute.......

Wang Xijue sighed, suddenly pointed to the household servant, and said, "Song waiter, you can talk to them." ”

Song Jingsheng was slightly apprehensive, and said: "Everyone, as far as my household department knows, since Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, a large number of expensive raw materials such as leather, silk, wood, pearls, rouge, etc. have been transported to Weihui Mansion, which has caused many craftsmen in various places to lose their livelihoods.

If it is taxed in this way, then the raw materials will have to pay taxes when they enter Weihui Mansion, and they will have to pay taxes when they leave Weihui Mansion, and no one will want this price, so these raw materials will go to various state capitals, and those craftsmen will have a livelihood again. ”

This excuse is really perfunctory, how can it be so exaggerated, a state capital can do jewelry craftsmanship can have several craftsmen.

Song Jingsheng is nothing more than hinting to them, we are trying to besiege Wei Hui Mansion.

Zhang Cheng understood, and said angrily: "Let's not talk about the rest, who can print the Spring Palace painting except for Weihui Mansion?" Which craftsman lost his livelihood because of the Spring Palace painting, you should find out for our family. ”

The rouge of Weihui Mansion is his, and the painting of the Spring Palace is his godson's, so he really doesn't give face at all!

Wang Jiaping immediately said: "Prime minister, the Spring Palace painting is not because of this, just because the Spring Palace painting is an obscene thing, and the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit it, that is because there were only occasional people painting some before, and the amount was not much, and now the five guns are a large number of printed Spring Palace paintings, and we think that heavy taxes must be levied to restrict the Spring Palace paintings." ”

Zhang Cheng was angry, slapped the table and said, "What is the restriction on the Spring Palace painting, you are clearly targeting Guo Dan?" ”

The Spring Palace painting is his godsun is in charge, can't he be angry.

Wang Jiaping said: "The Prime Minister said this is wrong, if we want to restrict Guo Dan, in fact, we don't have to do so many things at all, we just need to restrict food, there are so many people in Weihui Mansion, and the food in Weihui Mansion can't afford to support it at all." ”

Yang Mingshen said: "Prime minister, could it be that you think too much, Scholar Wang is an upright person, and he has always talked about things, and he has also spoken for Guo Dan at the beginning." ”

"This spring palace painting is indeed an obscene thing, I think the printing of spring palace paintings should be banned, it can be seen that the imperial court is already on the open side."

......

"You ..... Hum! ”

Zhang Cheng stomped his foot hard and sat down.

Wang Xijue was really secretly happy, this was really a divine assist, and asked, "I don't know what you think?" ”

Yang Mingshen said: "There is no need to levy heavy taxes in this house. ”

No matter how good Weihui Mansion is, it can't trade in the house.

"Who said it was not necessary, we think it is necessary." Zhang Chengfei went.

Our family wants everything, but we don't want this house, you just say that this house should be tax-free, how can Zhang Cheng let him get his wish.

Yang Ming said deeply: "Don't be annoyed, I just ask, if everyone agrees, I have no opinion." ”

Everyone now understands that although these taxes make them uncomfortable, Guo Dan is even more uncomfortable, they don't buy it for a year, it's fine, Guo Dan can't sell it for a year, then he will die, and when Guo Dan dies, we will change it back.

Everyone agreed, and so it was enlisted.

They agreed to these two points, and the rest were naturally not a problem, including letting the official teeth reduce the burden on the imperial court, and they also agreed, after all, the official teeth are not cabinet members, and they are all mighty and domineering in front of the official teeth.

Shen Shixing couldn't believe that this meeting would go so smoothly.

These systems are more or less unfavorable to them, and they would have been noisy in normal times, but today they are ......!

This rejuvenation of the country and the country depends on Guo Dan!

After the meeting, Zhang Cheng took the lead in rushing out, you guys, you don't give any face.

After they all left, Yang Mingshen suddenly came to Wang Jiaping's side quietly and whispered: "Scholar Wang, in fact, what you said is quite right, as long as the grain is taxed highly, Weihui Mansion will not be able to hold on." ”

Wang Jiaping sighed: "Actually, we don't want to do this, but we know that a lot of the grain transported to Weihui Mansion is used by boats. ”

"I see." Yang Mingshen nodded.

This luck can't be moved.

That's going to go wrong.

And over there, Zhang Cheng got out of the cabinet, and went straight to Yinuoyaxing.

"Guo Dan! How can you still be in the mood to do things, something big has happened. ”

Zhang Cheng directly broke into Guo Dan's office, and when he saw that Guo Dan was still there to review the accounts, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Yang Feixu, who was leaning against the door, didn't dare to stop Zhang Cheng.

Guo Dan was also frightened, stood up, and said, "Prime minister, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Cheng immediately told Guo Dan about the tariffs that had just been discussed.

Guo Dan smiled when he heard this, and said, "It turns out that the prime minister said this!" ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned and said, "Isn't this important?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Prime minister, please sit, please sit." ”

He beckoned Zhang Cheng to sit on the sofa, opened the door again, and called a female secretary to whisper a few words to her, the female secretary nodded and left immediately, Guo Dan turned around and sat opposite Zhang Cheng, while helping Zhang Cheng make tea, he said: "Don't be anxious, if they change like this, they will inevitably fail." ”

Zhang Cheng was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Thirty taxes are such a simple tax, they can play full of flaws, such a complex tax system, the loopholes are bigger than the sky, how can they be taxed, I am anxious for them." ”

Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "Having said that, this time there is Liu Zongcheng to help." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "The prime minister is right, the problem is Liu Zongcheng, we have to fight the snake for seven inches, so I have to deal with Liu Zongcheng, not them, and beat Liu Zongcheng down, then I can find a flaw to defuse their offensive, as long as I resist, then their alliance will immediately fall apart." ”

Zhang Cheng looked at him calmly, and sighed: "It turns out that you already have a countermeasure." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's been all these days, I can't sit still!" ”

Zhang Cheng patted his chest, "I knew that you already had a way, so our family didn't have to worry about you." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Guo Dan bowed his hand and saluted the freshly brewed tea.

After chatting for a while, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and Guo said lightly: "Come in." ”

I saw a secretary walk in and hand over a wooden box.

Guo Dan took the wooden box, and after the secretary went out, he handed the wooden box to Zhang Cheng, "Inner Minister, this is a Jin merchant gave it to me, but my wife and I don't like these very much, if the internal minister likes it, then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Zhang Cheng listened to it very badly, you don't like it to give it to our house, open it and take a look, quickly cover it, his face is sideways, and he said: "This... How embarrassing is our family, this is useless! ”

It's full of pearls.

Guo smiled lightly: "Compared with my concern for Guo Dan, it is not enough to worry about it, not enough to worry about it." ”

This point of sophistication, he still understands, what should be given or has to be given, these pearls were indeed given to him by Jin Shang, because Jin Shang opened some tea estates in Weihui Mansion, and tea estates are closely related to Qian Zhuang, they must please Guo Dan.

Zhang Cheng chatted with Guo Dan for a while, mainly talking about spring palace paintings and rouge, Guo Dan reassured him that there might be some impact, but it wouldn't be very big.

After Zhang Cheng received the reply, he was also relieved.

As soon as this Zhang Cheng walked on the front foot, Kou Zhuansha walked in on the back foot and said, "Husband, why did the prime minister suddenly come?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "He's here to remind me that it's time to prepare to go to Jiangnan." ”

Kou Liansha frowned slightly, "Down to Jiangnan?" ”

Guo Dan snorted: "Go down to Jiangnan to pick up sandpiper mussels." ”
