Chapter 578: Isn't this the treasure money of the previous dynasty?

"Deposed it." Zhu Cihong said sharply, he actually understands very well that this so-called routine and routine is the method and means of the courtiers to block the emperor's mouth, especially the ancestral family law, which has been tried and tested repeatedly.

But Zhu Cihong really has no choice, the law does not blame the public, if he really wants to work against the ministers at this time, the Yixing Dynasty will collapse.

And the most important point is that, as Chen Zilong said, he has just ascended the throne, and if he really finds out the huge corruption, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of a new monarch.

"No, never." Qian Yiqian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. The sudden abolition of the supplement will inevitably attract opposition from all officials...... Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you still have to rely on the assistance of your courtiers, at this time, you must not offend the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty because of a small amount of money! ”

Qian Yiqian said while kowtowing, "This is the minister's heartfelt words, for Your Majesty's plan, please think twice!" ”

Zhu Cihong stomped his feet and said hatefully: "There are more than 1,000 officials in the capital, without this subsidy, I will compensate them in the future, but now that public opinion is surging, no matter how uneasy it is, it will be a disaster for the loss of the country, which is more important, and Qian Xiang still doesn't know it?" ”

Qian Yiqian bowed to the ground, "Compared with such a Diao people, the courtiers are Your Majesty's humerus, which is more important, Your Majesty thinks twice!" ”

Zhu Cihong was really stunned for a long time, and his face turned blue and pale.

"Then there is no one good solution, can you do both?" Zhu Cihong suddenly burst into tears and said, "I only understood at this time that the difficulties of my father and emperor that day, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty could understand the suffering in my heart. ”

Qian Yiqian kowtowed again and again: "The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers are dead." Capital offense. ”

"I envy him, he can do whatever he wants...... But I am full of ambitions, but I am bound and cannot display them. Isn't this emperor at the command of heaven? Zhu Cihong hissed and roared.

Qian Yiqian was indeed a little scared, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan." ”

Like a person who fell into the water saw a straw, Zhu Cihong got up quickly, pounced on Qian Yiqian, took Qian Yiqian's hand and said, "Qian Aiqing has any good plans, tell me quickly." ”

Qian Yiqian said: "If the minister's words are inappropriate, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

"I forgive you for your innocence, speak quickly." Zhu Cihong said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the Zhenguo Gong implemented a tax law that is all over the world before?"

"I know that it is a new private commercial tax levied by the Zhenguo Gong."

"Then does Your Majesty know how much commercial tax will be levied by Hangzhou Mansion within half a year?"

"How much?"

"Nearly three million taels."

"So much?" Zhu Cihong's mouth opened wide in shock, this is almost catching up with Shifu Xia Fu.

Qian Yiqian glanced at Zhu Cihong's expression and said, "Your Majesty, do you know where this huge amount of money goes?" ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head unconsciously, he was still shocked by this huge number.

"The town of the country gets sixty percent, and the rejuvenation of the country gets forty percent. However, the imperial court could not get a penny. Qian Yiqian raised his head and repeated angrily, "Of course, the imperial court can't get a penny." ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, the imperial court can issue an edict to the two princes to withdraw the right to collect commercial taxes."

Zhu Cihong's eyes flickered, but after a while, he returned to normal, "Just take back the tax, and then collect the commercial tax, this matter...... I'm still waiting to figure it out. ”

It's not that Zhu Cihong doesn't want to take it back, but the problem is that the two princes of Zhen and Xing have mastered the seventy percent army of the Yixing Dynasty.

If this matter is not done well, if it really wants to force the two countries to join forces, then the Yixing Dynasty will needless to say that it wants to recover the tax right, I am afraid that it will not exist directly.

"Your Majesty, the commercial taxes levied by the two princes are almost equal to the annual income of the imperial court, and the imperial court cannot rely on it. Moreover, a tax is passed through the world, and the imperial court also occupies the land of the four prefectures...... No matter what, the total score of the imperial court ...... Forty percent, right? ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, this is a good wedge point, you have to be reasonable, you have a tax in the world, and the two of you share the money, how can you have a share of the court, right?

"Money is a good strategy, this thing is feasible." Zhu Cihong was overjoyed and said, "If there is this part of the silver, I can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Qian Yiqian was praised and blessed to his soul, and he said with a flash of inspiration in his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a plan." ”

"Aiqing, come on."

"Your Majesty, do you know that the two princes of Zhen and Xing came to Beijing to enter the treasury this time, what method did they use?"

Zhu Cihong said: "Naturally, it's luck." ”

"Definitely." Qian Yiqian shook his head and said, "The two princes of the country only sent one person to the household department and handed over the money to the ministers with a stack of money notes. ”

"Money banker bills? What? ”

"The bills of the major money banks in the capital can be exchanged in other places, simply put, they are deposited in Hangzhou Mansion and taken out in the capital."

Zhu Cihong was surprised: "What does this mean?" As long as the two princes should pay a lot of taxes, they will naturally let them go. ”

Qian Yiqian said anxiously: "Your Majesty does you know that the profit of this money bank's bills is more than twice the commercial tax." ”

Zhu Cihong opened his mouth wide and was stunned, "Qian Aiqing is not joking, right?" ”

"How dare the minister laugh in front of His Majesty?" Qian Yiqian has a kind of hatred for iron and steel, "Your Majesty, do you know how much these money banks charge...... Five points! ”

Zhu Cihong really doesn't know, and he doesn't have this concept, "One percent is ten, not much?" ”

Qian Yiqian sighed: "Half percent, it's really not much, but if it's one million taels, it's fifty thousand taels, and if it's ten million taels, it's five hundred thousand taels...... Your Majesty knows that now in the land of the Ten Prefectures, the amount of money exchanged by merchants is more than tens of millions? Your Majesty, 100,000 taels of capital, if you buy and sell it in a year, it may reach a million. ”

Zhu Cihong began to understand, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"That's not all, because of the convenient and fast operation, countless businessmen deposit the surplus money in their hands into the bank, and in exchange for a banker bill, the bank can take the silver turnover, and pay the depositor only three cents of annual interest. Nowadays, there are hundreds of people, for the sake of this three-cent annual interest, the surplus money is deposited in the bank, and the wealth accumulated is enough to overwhelm the country and the city...... Your Majesty, how can you let it be? ”

"It's not ...... Treasure money in the previous dynasty? Zhu Cihong said for no reason, he couldn't figure it out, why the treasure banknote was despised by the world, why it was the same piece of paper, but it was sought after by the merchants and the people.

Qian Yiqian heard the word treasure banknote, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, this money bank bill is completely different from treasure banknotes, the previous dynasty issued treasure banknotes, that is, the treasury did not have silver to print treasure banknotes, when the people want to exchange it into silver, they can't exchange it, and the people naturally won't believe in treasure banknotes, so they can't circulate it...... But now these money bank bills can be exchanged for silver for a lot of money, Your Majesty, just imagine, who has nothing to do business with heavy gold and silver? In addition, it eliminates the risk and loss of transporting gold and silver, and saves the transportation time...... Naturally, it is sought after by businessmen and ordinary people. ”

Zhu Cihong understood, and he asked: "But how can he have such huge financial support in a land of three prefectures?" And why did the people believe in him? ”
