Zhao Junchen returned to Zhao's mansion from the back door
Without him, the refugees who are now gathered outside the Zhao Mansion have not only not been driven away, but have gathered more and more!
Looking at the number of refugees, there are hundreds of them, and almost all the refugees from all over the country who are stranded in Beijing are gathered outside the Zhao Mansion!
It seems that because Zhao Junchen saved the shrimp, the refugees have a great impression of Zhao Junchen, and they are bewitched by people with hearts, and they regard Zhao Junchen as the only hope for appealing grievances, so no matter how the people in Zhao Fuzhong drive them away, they just don't want to leave
…………
Returning to Zhao's mansion from the back door, Zhao Junchen just got out of the sedan chair, and as soon as his feet landed, he frowned and said to Xu Qingyan: "That porter steward, don't let him stay in the mansion from today onwards, give him some silver, and let him find his own way out."
Xu Qingyan nodded again and again, also looking dissatisfied, and said: "What the young master said is reasonable, now this concierge in the house is too useless, and even some refugees can't be driven away.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and didn't say anything more, just walked in the direction of the study
Xu Qingyan followed aside and asked, "Young Master, what about those refugees?" Keep chasing them? It's not that I said, these refugees are really difficult, and they are so blocked outside our house that they can't leave, it's really an eyesore to watch! ”
Zhao Junchen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Let them go, this morning the court has already made a decision, His Majesty will strictly investigate the mistakes in the preparation of the southern tour, and then there will be three legal divisions to accept the case without me to make the decision for them, and when the news spreads, they will disperse."
Xu Qingyan was a little unwilling to say: "Just let them stay outside our mansion?" Why don't I send someone to inform the Three Law Divisions and ask them to come and collect them? ”
Zhao Junchen didn't care, he just said: "You just look at it, but you let Qin Wei urge Xia Xichang again, so that they can find out the reason why the refugees gathered outside our house, I always feel that there is something else hidden in this matter, otherwise, with my current reputation, how can those refugees regard me as their hope for revenge?" ”
Before Xu Qingyan nodded, Zhao Junchen had already come to the study, not far away
looked up, but saw that Chu Jiayi had already received the news of Zhao Junchen's return to the house and was waiting outside the study
…………
After coming to the study until the evening, Zhao Junchen never left, and even ate lunch in the study
In the study, Zhao Junchen was checking for a whole day? Households. Egg Jar Persimmon Thin ㄗ 5 Nao Rush Tank Ping Huan Han Wei Seal? br/>
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was so serious about preparing an excerpt, it seemed extremely important, as a spy who sneaked into Zhao's mansion with malicious intentions, Chu Jiayi was naturally very concerned
Therefore, between grinding ink and laying paper for Zhao Junchen, Chu Jiayi would secretly take a look at the contents of the fold from time to time.
However, Zhao Junchen's excerpt is not only numerous, but also complicated, involving a lot of professional content of household financial management and national taxation Chu Jiayi Although many people are also smart, but he occasionally peeks at it, but he is completely confused, and he doesn't know what Zhao Junchen is writing at all
Although she had the heart to ask, she saw that Zhao Junchen looked focused, and she was a newcomer, so Chu Jiayi still couldn't bear it and didn't dare to ask
Unconsciously, the time was approaching evening, and Zhao Junchen finally finished writing this excerpt that had been prepared for a whole day, and it looked like it was more than ten pages
Like Chu Jiayi, Xu Qingyan had never seen Zhao Junchen spend so long preparing an excerpt, and when he saw that it was finally over, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what are you writing here?" It took so much effort? ”
Zhao Junchen was stretching his waist, and after hearing Xu Qingyan's inquiry, he smiled meaningfully, looking flat, but the words that came out of his mouth made Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi both shocked
"The excerpts that will be used to save life in the future should naturally be prepared in detail."
"A life-saving fold?" Xu Qingyan was taken aback, looked at the fold in Zhao Junchen's hand in a daze, and asked one after another, "Young Master, what are you preparing it for?" But what happened? What is written in this excerpt? Can it be used to save lives? ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said softly: "It's not that something happened, preparing this excerpt is just to be prepared for a rainy day, as for the content of the excerpt......
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen handed the fold to Xu Qingyan, and said, "Look at it."
Xu Qingyan carefully took the fold and took a closer look, but his expression became more and more dazed
After a long time, Xu Qingyan returned the excerpt to Zhao Junchen, and said with a bitter face: "I don't understand"
Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Qingyan like this, and said: "If you don't understand, it's right, if you can understand, you can go to the household department to do things, and you can also share some worries for me."
After laughing, Zhao Junchen's expression gradually became stern, and explained: "This is an excerpt of the imperial court's commercial tax reform, if you can follow the content of this excerpt, the annual income of the imperial court can increase by at least twenty or thirty million taels of silver!" ”
"Two or thirty million taels!? At least?! ”
Hearing the numbers spit out of Zhao Junchen's mouth, not only Xu Qingyan was stunned, but even Chu Jiayi was stunned
What kind of commercial tax reform is it? Can you nearly double the income of the imperial court out of thin air?
If it is really like what Zhao Junchen said, this excerpt can be said to be priceless!
Zhao Junchen saw Xu Qingyan like this, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to explain: "Okay, let's just tell you about it, now the imperial court is in a state of embarrassment, everyone knows it, but why it is so embarrassing, but few people consider it In my opinion, it is because of the proliferation of private smuggling, which has caused our dynasty to lose too much commercial tax, however, the fundamental reason why the civil smuggling is rampant is because the commercial tax collection of the imperial court is too chaotic."
Nowadays, the county has a county tax collection station, the state has a state tax collection station, the government has a government tax collection station, the province has a provincial toll station, the town eunuch has a town guard eunuch tax collection station, and even the royal grange has a private tax collection station, in addition to countless temporary tax collection stations, and there is no unified standard for the collection of taxes at various tax collection stations, what items need to be taxed and how to collect taxes is completely up to the tax collection officials
With so many tax collection stations and such a chaotic tax collection standard, both the people and the merchants are naturally miserable, and many goods worth more than 100 taels of silver are transported from the origin? ahref='/txt/16711/484942o/'>.purpose. Giving the Fan Hao Wai Wai Nai Ai Ship Huan Corridor Banner >Mu Gong
Seeing that Xu Qingyan and Chu Jiayi listened attentively during the explanation, Zhao Junchen smiled and continued to explain: "Under such rampant smuggling, how much more can the loss of our dynasty's commercial tax be more than two or three million taels? Last year, the total amount of commercial taxes in our dynasty was only 350,000 taels of silver, but as far as I know, the total value of cotton cloth smuggled in our dynasty every year was no less than 700,000 taels of silver! If these smuggled cotton cloths were taxed, there would be nearly 100,000 taels of silver!
You know, this is just a trade route like the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal! And that's just the cotton in it! How much commercial tax should be in my dynasty, even if I am completely uncertain, but it must be an astronomical amount, and twenty or thirty million taels of silver is just the bottom line."
Chu Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "So sir, you plan to carry out commercial tax reform in the DPRK?" ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "I don't have this plan, it involves too many aspects, whether it is large and small local officials, or smugglers all over the world, or the central officials who can receive a large amount of filial piety silver every year, including myself, are the beneficiaries of today's tax chaos, how can I touch lightly?" As I said, it's just a life-saving excerpt."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen said with emotion: "Everyone in the world says that a companion is like a tiger, I finally felt it today, today in the early dynasty, I just didn't follow His Majesty's wishes, and it almost caused His Majesty's hostility What will happen in the future, no one can say, so I take precautions, first prepare such an excerpt, if His Majesty plans to rectify me in the future, I will present this excerpt to His Majesty, not only can divert His Majesty's attention, but also a great achievement, at that time, Even if I do something wrong, I'm afraid I won't be blamed."
Xu Qingyan suddenly realized, nodded again and again: "It turned out to be such a life-saving excerpt, the young master is clever"
Zhao Junchen seemed to be very proud, and after smiling, he put the fold into the secret box, and said: "However, you must remember, don't let people know about this excerpt, since it is a life-saving fold, it is used as a last resort The reason why I am valued by His Majesty is precisely because of the embarrassment of the bank's money, and only with my financial management skills can the finances of the court continue to operate, so His Majesty can not do without me."
And if this excerpt is known to others, and the commercial tax reform is really carried out, then after the bank of the DPRK is rich, not only will it give others credit for nothing, but my status in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that it will not be as good as before, and I will no longer be able to compete with others."
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Xu Qingyan nodded again and again, but Chu Jiayi had a strange light in his eyes
At such a time, outside the study, there was a report from the Zhao Mansion: "Master, Lord Zuo Lanshan Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Lord Zhan Shanchang Zhan, the head of the household department, are here."
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen did not delay, and after giving Chu Jiayi a few words, he got up and left with Xu Qingyan
After Zhao Junchen left, Chu Jiayi first checked the left and right of the study, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, she returned to the desk, carefully opened the secret box where Zhao Junchen stored the folds, and then spread paper and polished ink, and began to copy Zhao Junchen's "life-saving folds".
…………
Naturally, this was Zhao Junchen's use of Chu Jiayi again, and deliberately asked Chu Jiayi to hand over this fold to the crown prince Zhu Heyu
Zhao Junchen now has the intention to break away from the control of Emperor Deqing and take the road of the powerful minister
But now that the central government is stable, and the major factions have divided up all the power that can be divided, it is really difficult for Zhao Junchen to go further, let alone replace Zhou Shangjing's position
Therefore, only by muddying the water and messing up the originally stable situation can Zhao Junchen fish in troubled waters and have the opportunity to further develop!
And since the dynasties and dynasties, what can stir up the originally stable situation into a mess?
Only system reform!
Among them, the reform of the tax system, which involves the interests of all parties, is even more so!
Therefore, Zhao Junchen will spend a whole day preparing for this commercial tax reform excerpt!
But Zhao Junchen does not intend to do this by himself, as Zhao Junchen said before, the commercial tax reform involves too many interests in all aspects, and it affects the whole body! If you want to reform, you will inevitably touch the interests of all forces and attract hostility all over the world
Zhao Junchen can see this clearly, Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao can naturally see this clearly, and naturally they will not do this kind of thing!
Even, even if Zhao Junchen really handed over this fold to Emperor Deqing, even with Emperor Deqing's love for money, he would consider it in detail and dare not do it lightly
So, who would do such a "right and reckless stupid thing"?
Only the crown prince Zhu and Yu are gone
It just so happened that because there was a mistake in the preparation of the southern tour that he was in charge of before, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were eager to find an opportunity to prove their ability to do things to Emperor Deqing and the hundred officials again!
It just so happened that because Emperor Deqing was about to tour the south, during the southern tour, the crown prince Zhu and Yu were in charge of the country, and the power in their hands would be unprecedentedly large, enough to independently promote such a commercial tax reform!
It just so happened that Zhao Junchen was going to make some trouble for the prince again!
And Zhao Junchen emphasized in front of Chu Jiayi the importance of this excerpt to himself, as well as the loss once it will be obtained by others, and he is not afraid that Chu Jiayi will not rush to hand over this excerpt to the crown prince Zhu Heyu
…………
"Saving your life? It's almost the same! ”
Thinking so secretly, Zhao Junchen walked towards the main hall of the Zhao Mansion
There, the officials of the "Zhao Party" who were summoned by him were already waiting
