Chapter 878: Great Song has never lacked capable people

"He Xianggong's notebook, you must have already seen it, how to solve the problem of Tangkou silver money?" Zhao Huan motioned to the courtiers to be quiet and threw out a new topic.

In fact, Zhao Huan temporarily handed over the Tangkou Sea Grain Division to the Ministry of Commerce, and in the end, this Sea Grain Division still had to return to the hands of the Ministry of Households, and grain was the foundation of the country.

It's just that Zhao Huan wants to use this matter to speed up the speed of the household department to clarify the world's acres.

How long does it take? Decade.

How long did Zhu Yuanzhang take to clarify the acres of land in the world? Decade.

Zhu Yuanzhang prepared to establish the Yellow Book, the basic unit of the Yellow Book is the map, 100 households are a map, every 10 households are compiled into a Jia, from which a household is selected, and 100 households are selected to be the first head. There is another lieutenant chief, who is responsible for taking charge of these ten leaders and reporting directly to the county-level yamen.

This is the Lijia system, and it is also the fundamental tax system of the Ming Dynasty, which is a good policy, but only universal is a good policy.

From the third year of Hongwu in Huzhou, slowly in the three southeastern provinces began to be piloted, and then extended to the whole world, and finally in the fourteenth year of Hongwu to complete the feat of the imperial book.

Exactly ten years.

Zhao Huan's requirements are not high, and he hopes that the household department will be able to complete the restructuring of clarifying the world's land property and household registration system within ten years.

But in terms of the current implementation of the household department, it is a fool's dream to create a whole yellow book in the world in the past ten years!

That's why he will use a whip to pull the household department, and hurry up to complete it, this is the newly established Sea Grain Division, just a lesson, if the household department still goes its own way, Zhao Huan will consider letting the ministry supervise again.

If the supervision of the officials still has no effect, they will use the painting institutes and technocrats of the Great Song Dynasty to do this.

When Zhao Huan saw the question he threw out, when no one answered, he asked tentatively: "Tax increase?" Pounce on the bought? ”

"I think it's okay to add a little tax to things such as coral and gemstones. Didian and other third-class merchants will increase taxes, and merchants below the third class will be less appropriate. I wonder what the officials think? Li Gang said in a low voice.

The tax grading system is a major project of the commercial tax reform that Li Gang has been promoting recently, and after carrying out the rectification of the Great Song Dynasty tax system, he is ready to start robbing the rich and helping the poor in the tax system.

"Chen Shaoqing, what do you think?" Zhao Huan turned his head to look at Chen Zimei, he was originally a businessman, and he was a first-class wealthy businessman in Didian, he was very similar to listening to Chen Zimei's thoughts.

Chen Zimei said without thinking: "Good." ”

Li Gang mentioned this stubble in Chang Chao, and naturally he had already been angry with Li Gang in private, and the two studied it for a long time, Chen Zimei very much agreed with Li Gang's views and agreed with the promotion of this system.

The system of graded taxation has changed the one-size-fits-all commercial tax in the past from the lowest level of half, one, two, three, and three and a half percent of the revenue and taxation of merchants, and realized "killing the rich and helping the poor" in a broad sense.

"Do any of you object to it?" Zhao Huan asked tentatively. No one in the audience responded.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty was still a world of literati, and they looked at merchants differently, even if Chen Zimei was a serious jinshi and first, the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty still regarded him as having engaged in a cheap industry and thought that Chen Zimei was incompatible with them.

So this policy, for them, there is nothing to oppose at all.

"Then Dazai Lee will do this." Zhao Huan motioned to Li Gang to let it go, just like at the beginning, and gave him his own cover.

Of course, Li Gang's purpose in doing this tax grading system is not at all to respond to the official idea of "the king is for the people", nor is it to have a grand cause of common prosperity.

He existed entirely to combat the influence of the first-class wealthy merchants of Didian.

The Huainan Chen family and the official family's internal funds competed for profits in Goryeo, which made Li Gang see the terrifying influence of the first-class wealthy businessmen!

At present, the wealthy businessmen can still control it, after all, the biggest businessman in the world is the internal property of the official family. Then there is the state-owned industry with state-owned funds as the core.

But this still makes Li Gang haunted.

His purpose is to divide the influence of the first-class wealthy merchants of Didian, and if he can divide the first-class wealthy merchants of Didian under the suppression of high taxes, it is similar to the "Tui En Order" proposed by the lord father Yan back then.

As a defender of imperial power, he resolutely resisted all existences that might affect imperial power, because in his heart, the restrictions on the emperor that the official family had repeatedly mentioned would be resolutely denied by Li Gang at the beginning of the discussion.

He was in order to maintain order, and Zhao Huan also agreed to Li Gang's measures to further promote commercial reform.

Of course, the tax policy of supporting the businessmen who are not in the house shop, the two hit it off. One holds the great dream of common prosperity, and the other holds the influence of first-class wealthy businessmen who divide the mansion and maintain order.

Different means to the same end.

As for the first-class wealthy businessmen, Li Gang is still exploring the specific provisions of the anti-monopoly bill, but Cai Jing has already made a huge step forward and made great contributions to the anti-monopoly matter before Li Gang.

Li Gang stood on Cai Jing's achievements and further promoted the standardization of the anti-monopoly industry.

Fang La's uprising, because of the Jiangnan Dilong turned over, the earthquake caused by the natural disaster caused by the people have no fixed place, in fact, the fundamental thing is that Zhao Ji crossed the prime minister and the six ministries, and directly intervened in the salt politics of the two places in Jiangnan, which led to the Fang La uprising in Jiangnan and Zhejiang to have a mass base.

In the subsequent policy revision, Cai Jing set things right to Zhao Ji's policy.

Zhao Ji's practice is to issue salt banknotes, with salt as the standard system, and the salt banknotes issued only indicate the price and quantity of salt, and there is no time limit.

As a result, after the salt merchants bought the salt banknotes, the salt merchants from all over the Didian sat together, held the salt banknotes, negotiated the price, hoarded the goods, and controlled the price of salt to a certain extent.

This is a bit similar to the financial instruments of futures in later generations, which led to a surge in the price of salt in the Great Song Dynasty, from the past fifteen wen to buy salt for a family of five and a half for half a year, directly soaring to more than 300 wen. Before the Fangla uprising, the price of salt was soaring.

However, the salt workers and salt workers still produced salt at the price set by the imperial court, and even because of the steep drop in salt production, there was a wide range of unemployment among the salt workers in the salt works. For Fang La's million-strong rebel army, it has enriched the young and middle-aged adults.

Four years after Xuanhe, Cai Jing concealed from Zhao Ji and revised the salt policy and made a salt citation.

After Cai Jing's reform, the salt lead is divided into long lead and short lead, long lead outside the road, short lead pin main road. The most important thing is that Cai Jing pushed out the salt lead, this thing has a deadline. A long introduction for a year, a short introduction for a season. Expired and abolished, and the quantity and price of transportation and sales are strictly limited.

The market from the monopoly of the first-class wealthy merchants in Didian, re-corrected into the competition of free trade, in the case of the population in the south of the Yangtze River in the case of ten draws and one slaughter, the price of salt in the Great Song Dynasty began to decline steadily, and now the price of salt has recovered to the Chongning period, about 15 Wen salt and a half.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was very interested in Cai Jing's various policies, as he said when he left, Cai Jing and the official family looked more and more alike.

What the official family is doing and wants to do, Cai Jingjing is in front, and under the pressure of Zhao Ji, he is doing quite well.

It's a pity that no matter how talented Cai Jing is, no matter how many policies he has, since the scholar Chen Dong wrote a book to bombard Cai Jing as the six thieves of the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing has been nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and there is no doubt that he is a traitor.

Otherwise, you can only nail Zhao Ji to the pillar of shame, and the limit is one for one, and it is impossible to operate. Especially after Cai Jing and Cai Youke died in Tanzhou, there was no one in the DPRK, so naturally no one could rehabilitate him.
