Chapter 14 "Customs Tax Rebate" System

"Let's talk about the customs matter, Marshal Mo will talk about it, it is much better to give an order to sweep up smuggling than to order not to pay money for the year." Li Huaqian said.

"I can't say anything about smuggling, it's easy to give an order, but it's another thing to listen to it." After Mo Hu finished speaking, he looked at a few people, and smiled helplessly.

Li Huaqian said in a hard tone: "You order, I'll do it." We have to figure out how to solve smuggling. ”

Mo Hu: "Relying on the navy alone to strike, looking at it now, it has no effect." Didn't I let all over the country crack down once the year before last, but as a result. The root of the affairs of the sea is on land, and He Changshi also said just now that there is a private port, there is smuggling, and it is the right thing to deal with the private port. What do you say, Taifu? ”

Mo Haige yawned inexplicably, and said after finishing: "As you get older, you are a little tired, don't mind Lord Li, Tianxiong, you can say a way, after all, you are in contact with practice, and what the marshal said is not unreasonable." ”

Hua Tianxiong understands that he is now temporarily given the acting minister of prime minister's affairs, and temporarily has the qualifications to join the cabinet, and this right has a time limit, in other words, he is now in the "experimental" stage. Originally, how could he have the right to speak in the deliberations of the imperial court, but now Mo Haige pushed him out, mainly because he had the heart to mention and cultivate.

Mo Haige thought that Hua Tianxiong is a good knife, which can be used directly, without need, just let Hua Tianxiong play himself, because Hua Tianxiong will definitely master the measure. Hua Tianxiong has tried his best to create an identity of "no party and no faction" for many years, which has been broken from the moment he just knelt outside.

When the official reaches the level of Mo Haige and Hua Tianxiong, the laity will think that the most important thing is to land safely, but how can this position be a layman, who can be in this palace, they are all capable and idealistic, and it is difficult for a pure bureaucrat to break through the layers of screening of this official rank.

This hall is the highest stage for the politicians of the empire, and it is also a model for the performers to learn.

But the outside was stirred up by the four princes to be 'turbulent', how could this small room be 'without wind and waves'.

All the problems, whether it was smuggling or the reduction of taxes and fees, were nothing more than the vassal king's self-respect, which affected the imperial court. After all, the most serious smuggling areas were all private ports opened up by the vassal kings themselves.

No one can say anything about this temple, and no one dares to say anything about this world.

Even if it is slightly involved, as in the opening chapter, His Majesty's dictation is the meaning of warning to draw a line.

The self-respect of the vassal king was the seed planted by His Majesty at the beginning, and now it has blossomed and borne evil fruits, and it is impossible for His Majesty to admit that the four sons threatened the imperial court, nor can he admit that the empire has appeared in the form of the self-respect of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and admit that the dynasty is unstable.

At this time, His Majesty knows that his body and energy are destined to be unsettled, so when this lid is lifted, at least it cannot be lifted before His Majesty dies, and whoever wants to untie it will be pressed down. Everyone present knew everything, so when King Hua made some moves, everyone was persuading King Hua to 'treat the four kings with courtesy'.

On the one hand, His Majesty is thinking about his own reputation, and on the other hand, he is afraid of giving the various powers who are watching from the sidelines a chance to manipulate the so-called 'democratic revolution', and in essence to divide the country and eat it.

To this day, no one knows what happened in the 35-year trial meeting. Zhang Zhimin's death, Ji Bin was still younger than Mo Haige, and Emperor Shuozheng, who originally advocated the reform of the national system, was also conservative for a while, and the "imperial constitution" that was being implemented was stopped.

Hua Tianxiong: "The government hall put forward a strategy when rectifying private ports last year, on the one hand, to follow the British levy ship tax, on the other hand, to learn from the British method in India, to some ports specific "refund of ship tax" policy, increase the proportion of their port tax, so that many ships will naturally choose large ports, but also convenient for us, because many ships will apply to the customs for refund after paying taxes ashore, which is also convenient for us to calculate taxes with the port, as for small ports and private ports, we can let them apply for the "refund of ship tax" policy, This will also facilitate our liquidation, gradually raise the policy level, let the big port annex the small port, about ten years, the small port and private port will inevitably be sharply reduced, a little clean-up can be; As for smuggling, the warehouse can be opened for inspection when the ship tax is refunded. ”

Li Huaqian asked: "What about the smuggling in Xiaogang?" ”

Hua Tianxiong replied: "In a year or two, the ship tax will be gradually increased until the ship merchants cannot afford it, and the natural smugglers will go to the small port, and the commercial goods will naturally go to the tax refund port." After a year or two, a batch can be confiscated. ”

Li Huaqian: "Why didn't you report it last year?" ”

At this time, Hua Tianxiong didn't speak, and Mo Haige interjected: "Cabinet, I remember that the vote was first tried by Beiping Island, and then it was given to the Jingshi Hall, and you Chang Shi Si should have seen it." ”

"I didn't see it, Chen Changshi, did you see it?" Li Huaqian asked.

The Standing Attendant Division was formerly known as the Celebrant Supervisor, which was changed when His Majesty ascended the throne, and the Standing Attendant set up the palm seal Attendant as Shu Yu Attendant, and the Bingbi Attendant was Chen Zengshou Attendant, He Luo Attendant, the three of them were responsible for the size of the palace, and the Shu Attendant was the closest to His Majesty's side, and was in charge of the Permanent Attendant, the Guard Division (formerly the Imperial Horse Supervisor), clan affairs, clan relatives and other matters; Chen Changshou is in charge of the Jingshi Hall under the Standing Chamberlain, mainly in charge of the daily government affairs that need to be approved by the cabinet handover; He Changshou was in charge of the finances of the household department and the internal treasury, the 24 yamen, the eight bureaus of the palace, and the palace's offices in various places.

"I saw it, but at that time, the imperial court decided to let the navy chase it, and the Jingshitang archived such folds in accordance with the rules for future reference." Chen Zeng replied.

Li Huaqian: "Oh, yes, when this matter was discussed last year, Tianxiong happened to be no longer there, so he went to disaster relief." ”

Mo Haige said: "Chen Changshi, tell me, what do you think of this idea?" ”

Chen Zeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Give Lord Li's opinion." ”

"Yes, that's it, how about Taifu?" Li Huaqian said.

Mo Haige: "I think it's okay, try it with the North Island Province of the Twin Islands, the North Island Province of the Twin Islands suffered a tsunami, and Liushan, Chen'an, and Saizhong County will give a free place, just try it, these three places also happen to be the places where the ports gather, and give two more places, let the Twin Islands set their own." ”

Li Huaqian: "It is said that Taifu looks at the overall situation, and the provinces let them declare this "tax rebate port", and each province will give 4-7 places first. ”

Mo Haige: "The policies of various places should not be the same, after all, it is a policy of taking advantage of the situation, according to different places, the declaration fee should not be too different, and the quota of each province is 4-7, to the city and the port, not 'more than one belt', or there is a 'docking' situation, Xihai Province, Xiwen Province, Wanghai Province, these shipping regions, each declaration fee is two million taels, and the rest of the provinces are one million taels. After the disaster, the declaration fee for the twin islands will also increase by 2 million taels, what will be done under the public opinion? ”

Li Huaqian looked at Mo Haige with a smile and said, "Okay, these four provinces and four military regions are coordinated with the military and government, and the four princes should also have some blood." As for this refund policy, how much is the appropriate refund? ”

Mo Haige: "Your Majesty King Hua, what do you think?" ”

King Hua didn't seem to be clear at the moment, so he asked: "All the princes think about the empire, and I will report to my grandfather." Premier Hua, how much do you think this refund is appropriate? ”

Hua Tianxiong: "For the time being, the UK is currently about one-tenth of the import and export taxes, and our maritime yamen has investigated it. In order to cooperate with exports, it is recommended to set the export tax rebate at 2.5/10, that is, 2.5% of the tax refund. Import tax rebate one-tenth of seven, that is, 1.7% of the tax refund. ”

"There is no need to give too rigid regulations to various places, let them decide at their own discretion, how to change, it is up to the localities to say, and when there are good results, they will gradually standardize and push forward. I agree. Mohag said.
