With the continuous victory of northern Xinjiang, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been very confident in recent years, so Liaodong's use of troops against Wuharyan has not caused too many waves. Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this in Liaodong, he was busy setting up woolen mills and collecting taxes these days, and the first thing the tax department had to do when it began to collect taxes was to settle the land and then check the commercial tax.

The gentry and generals did not pay taxes, which did not exist, all the land was re-registered, and the merchant taxes had to be paid.

The commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty is thirty taxes one, and Zhu Houzhao did not think about changing it, because low commercial taxes can promote the development of commerce, and Zhu Houzhao did not complicate any commercial taxes, such as sub-taxation and the like, the logistics cost of this era is too high, and it is too complicated, but it will become very troublesome, and now as long as it can be collected in accordance with the current tax system, it is very good.

"O O Collector of Taxes!" Zhu Houzhao stood in his hotel, the expression on his face was a little hesitant, and finally said helplessly: "It's still too weak." ”

The Taxation Department is a new yamen, and if it is spread across the country, the strength is still not enough, after all, the local gentry will definitely not want to see the Taxation Department, and the local magistrates may be stumbling behind their backs, and they still can't do anything if they don't want to do something. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "It's time to pull some other people out for a walk." ”

"Liu Jin!" Zhu Hou looked at Liu Jin, ordered casually, and then said, "What is this Jinyi Guard Yamen in Guangning?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a thousand households in this Guangning, and the thousand households are called Zhao Fan." Liu Jin hurriedly spoke.

Nodding, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and ordered: "Go and find this Zhao Fan for the palace." ”

Since the beginning of the smuggling salt case in Yangzhou, Jin Yiwei has been very low-key, basically not showing his face, and Mu Bin, the commander, has been very stable in recent years since he took the blame. Now you can pull the brocade guard out for a walk. Since the Taxation Department lacked the protection of force, it was necessary to transfer Jinyiwei to the Taxation Division, just so that they could also help.

Jin Yiwei collects taxes, Zhu Houzhao thinks that this name alone is scary enough, and as for Jin Yiwei not working hard, it doesn't matter.

After all, Jinyiwei has been in the local area for many years, and the local Jinyiwei has collusion with local gentry and officials, which is also expected. However, Zhu Houzhao didn't care, the people in the tax department were just using the power of Jinyiwei, if they didn't cooperate, then they would be impeached, anyway, the royal family didn't have to discuss with anyone to deal with Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang were looked down upon, although they were concerned about what they did, but the most fundamental thing was that Jinyiwei and Dongchang were the emperor's domestic slaves.

The scholars think very highly of themselves, although they are sent to share the world with the scholars, but the scholars think so, the Jinyi Weidong Factory and the like are just slaves of the royal family, and they look down on them psychologically. In other words, they haven't looked down on anyone, we are reading the title of the gold list of sage books, what are you?

Jin Yiwei has its own intelligence system, plus it is rooted in the local area, and he knows the local situation very well, and with them cooperating with the tax department, it is naturally half the effort.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong is the land of Hu Han, a place where no one wants to stay, and the same is naturally true of Jinyiwei, no one wants to be a Jinyiwei in Liaodong, there is very little oil and water, and life is still hard, who wants to stay here. Zhao Fan was naturally one of them, so when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had summoned him, he came in a hurry.

Zhao Fan's idea is very simple, no matter what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks him to do, he must do it well and beautifully, and strive to be transferred out of the broken place of Liaodong.

Soon Zhao Fan walked in from the outside, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he hurriedly lay on the ground, and said loudly: "Zhao Fan, a thousand households in Liaodong, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Fan quietly, put down the teacup in his hand, and Zhu Houzhao said, "Get up!" When Zhao Fan stood up, Zhu Houzhao looked Zhao Fan up and down, this is a man in his thirties, his face is red, and he was obviously blown by the wind in Liaodong. looks ordinary, with calluses on his hands, and it seems that his martial arts have not been wasted.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao said: "The palace has come to Liaodong, and I haven't had time to see you, but the palace has learned a little about Liaodong. ”

"You did a good job in Liaodong, there was nothing wrong, and the errand was done properly, this time there was an errand in the palace handed over to you, and if you did it well, the palace will be rewarded. It's not a big deal to transfer you out of Liaodong, so do your errands well and don't let this palace down. ”

As soon as Zhao Fan heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The minister must do his best to live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said, "Okay, get up and answer!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's words are not to fool Zhao Fan, but it is true, once Zhao Fan does a good job in Liaodong, he will naturally be transferred away and go to a more critical place to collect taxes. It is impossible for Zhao Fan to enjoy the happiness he wants, and the experience that Liaodong has explored must be imparted. When Zhao Fan stood up, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "You know the matter of the Tax Division, right?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister knows." Zhao Fan was stunned, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to do with the Tax Department? Jin Yiwei and civil officials can't urinate in a pot. However, Zhao Fan still didn't dare to slack off, and stood aside respectfully and waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue his culture.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The tax department collects taxes, but there is a shortage of manpower, you take the brocade guard to cooperate, pay attention, it is cooperation, everything that involves taxes, you listen to the tax department, understand?" ”

Zhu Houzhao wants to ensure that the Tax Department has the power to command Jinyiwei, but he doesn't want the Tax Department to override Jinyiwei. The tax department is just a tax yamen, and it cannot be turned into a yamen like Jinyiwei. Of course, Jinyiwei is not a yamen who recognizes people.

Zhao Fan was a little surprised in his heart, let himself help the tax department? Why is this so weird? However, Zhao Fan still hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

In the local area, the garrison and civilian officials are very deeply involved, except for Jinyiwei, Zhu Houzhao really can't think of a suitable yamen. It's okay for the eunuchs to guard the towns in various places, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to involve the eunuchs, and it's better to stay away from the eunuchs in the matter of taxes. Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Now that you know, let's do it!" ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Fan leaving, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that his idea was right and could really achieve the effect he wanted, otherwise he would have to find another way.
