On the first day of the implementation of the new tariff law, it directly broke the two records of the Ming Dynasty.

One is the fastest execution record.

The second is synchronous recording.

In the past, the efficiency of the Ming court was really comparable to a snail, and the Ming emperors often had short lives, resulting in many times, the new policy was not implemented, and the emperor hung up, and the new law was either abolished, or the next emperor continued to implement it.

And it has never been synchronized, some new laws have been in force for several years, but there are still many places where they have not been implemented.

This time all banknotes were in force on the same day the new tariff law was enforced.

Rao is in the period of Zhang Juzheng, but it has not been so fast and so synchronized.

This time, the new tariff law is really a green light all the way, from the imperial court to the local government, it is unimpeded.

The government and the opposition are united.

Speaking of which, the new tariff law also hurts those officials a lot, first of all, they have no way to get oil and water out of it, because it is all controlled by the central government. Secondly, their consumption costs have become higher, and now the Ming Dynasty is a luxury.

But again, the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils.

Compared with this little pain, Guo Dan's threat made them feel even more frightened.

They are afraid that one day they will be contracted.

Tongzhou.

The largest banknote in the capital is not located in the capital, but in Tongzhou, after all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is still necessary to have a little face, if a pile of goods is piled up there every day, what is it like.

“..... Three hundred taels? ”

A fur merchant stood at the banknote and looked at the official who specialized in issuing invoices, and his face turned pale with fright.

Are you taxing or are you dying!

"Yes, you have a total of two hundred and thirty leather jackets here, and according to the pricing of our dental shop, the total value should be about one thousand taels, and all of your precious leather jackets are collected according to the tariff of thirty percent, so three hundred taels will be charged."

"Teeth... Yaye, my fur was given to the officials of Nanjing Xiao. ”

"If you mean to say this, you want to find a relationship, then please don't come to me, I'm just in charge of invoicing."

"That's... So who should I go to? ”

"How do I know this, if you can't open it, if you don't open it, just leave quickly, there are still many businessmen waiting for you later."

"I... Open, open. ”

At this time, a vendor came next to him, "Brother Zeng, you also open the tax of three hundred taels?" ”

The fur merchant surnamed Zeng sighed: "What can I do about this, I have already promised others, if I don't send it, then I will die even worse, alas... Now the weather in Jiangnan is also relatively cold, and there are more than ten taels per piece, so they should also buy it. ”

"That's right, people who can afford your leather jacket won't care about these ten taels. I'm bitter, I also plan to transport some wine to Weihui Mansion to sell, this time it's okay, I have to put it back in the warehouse, fortunately, Yinuo Yaxing is more reasonable, they will help me communicate. ”

"I see that the new tariff law is simply nonsense, and it is difficult to last for a long time, so let's endure it first and wait for Guo Dan to come to the contractor tax."

"Yes, yes, as long as Guo Dan pays taxes, then our good days will come, and it doesn't hurt to endure this."

......

Today, Liu Zongcheng is personally sitting here, not only that, but Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping also came to check the situation.

They are also very cautious about this.

"Outside of Liuyuan, how is the situation?"

Wang Jiaping asked Liu Zongcheng.

Liu Zongcheng hurriedly said: "If you go back to your lordship, everything is going very smoothly, you see, this is the bill issued today." ”

He took out some bills and handed them to Wang Jiaping, and continued: "For all precious goods, merchants still choose to clear customs, but commodities that are closely related to the people are basically transported back. According to the old opinion, it will not be long before the prices of many commodities in the capital will drop somewhat. ”

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue looked at the bill and nodded with satisfaction.

Although the goods cleared through customs are a little less than in previous years, the tax has increased a lot, and this extra tax is a tax for the rich.

Taxing in this way does not make the rich too much to resist and think that the court is aimed at them.

Again, if you want to be too expensive, you can not buy it, and if you don't buy these, you won't die.

At the same time, many merchants choose to cancel the transportation of goods abroad, which will inevitably lead to an increase in goods in the capital, and prices will naturally fall.

Once the price of goods falls, people will be happy, and they will be more supportive of the new tariffs, which will create a virtuous circle.

From a fiscal point of view, this is of course also true, now the gap between the rich and the poor has reached a very alarming point, the poor cannot pay taxes, but the country is indeed poor, this can only find a way to collect taxes on the rich.

Choosing an intermediate tax is undoubtedly the best.

Wang Jiaping admonished again: "This is just the beginning, you must not let your guard down." ”

Liu Zongcheng hurriedly said: "Two adults, please rest assured, the grass people will definitely watch it all the time." ”

......

East Plant.

"Duke, sometimes I wonder if this is a play played by the cabinet and Guo Dan, deliberately targeting us." Liu Shouyou complained very depressedly.

Zhang Whale frowned and said, "I have warned you of this a long time ago, aren't you ready?" ”

Liu Shouyou said: "Our goods have been arranged, but it's just a small amount of money, mainly ......!" ”

He suddenly lowered his voice, "The main thing is that there used to be a lot of tariffs, but they were all collected by our people, and now, the income in this area is nearly seventy percent less, and it won't be long before those people below will not be able to stand it." ”

Dongchang is a big tax collector, to the Wanli era, their power to collect taxes is further strengthened, many harsh taxes are made by Dongchang, tariffs are only part of it.

But it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and if there is a little less, they are all uncomfortable.

Zhang Whale sighed: "There is no way, it is Guo Dan who muddies the water, or if he is pressed down, the water will always be muddy, let's take a look first." ”

He is also a little at a loss now, because both sides are his opponents, he doesn't want the cabinet to be good, and he doesn't want Guo Dan to be good, and he doesn't know which side to help. In addition, given that Wanli is standing in the middle, it is not easy for him to become a third-party competing force, he can only wait and see what happens for the time being, even if his interests are harmed, he can only endure it first.

He suddenly glanced at Liu Shouyou, "But you seem to have a lot of confidence in Guo Dan, and you also bought a lot of shares in Wutiao, do you think he will have the last laugh?" ”

Liu Shouyou's expression was stunned, and he hurriedly explained: "Dugong, this is all secretly bought by my unfilial son, he is not to make money, he is just interested in the picture album of five guns, I really didn't know in advance, I have asked him to sell it early, but he said that it will rise again, it is not cost-effective to sell it now, I ...... it!" ”

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Whale waved his hand and said, "If you buy it, you can buy it, it doesn't matter if there is someone in Yinuoya, at least we can know in advance what the situation is." ”

......

Although the imperial court has announced the new tariff law a long time ago, at this moment, many people are still a little difficult to adapt, and this is the case for Dongchang, not to mention those merchants.

They are now looking forward to Guo Dan's early contractor tax, and it is precisely because of this expectation that they have complained a lot less.

Endure!

We endure!

Guarding the clouds and seeing the moon!

However, tonight is not a moonlit night, but the arrival of the night still cools down the voice of public opinion a little.

At the second watch, a carriage quietly came to the door of Yinuoyaxing.

To be able to walk around in a carriage during curfew is certainly not an ordinary person.

In the car sat Li Zhi and Huang Daxiao.

"Look, I didn't lie to you! It's all on. ”

Li Zhi pointed to the brightly lit Yinuo Tooth Shop, and said proudly: "Their Tooth Shop operates a lot of goods, and most of these goods are to be sold in other places, this time they all have to be adjusted, but I heard that the people in their Tooth Shop have to sleep in the Tooth Store these days." ”

Huang Daxiao said: "This is just the skin, you go to Weihui Mansion to see, go to Kaifeng Mansion to see, there is Guo Dan's most important interest, if you can't restrict those state capitals, just this money, Guo Dan won't care at all." ”

Li Zhi said: "We have carefully studied the tariff with Song Shilang, and the Weihui Mansion will inevitably be restricted, and their goods will have to be taxed a lot even to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Spring Palace painting with five guns will be taxed at fifty percent." At the same time, they had to buy a lot of wine from other places, which also had to be taxed. ”
