"Okay!"

The cook agreed, and began to serve Xu Wenchang rice, and after serving, he handed it to Xu Wenchang with a smile.

Holding his own food, Xu Wenchang smiled and came to the table not far away, there was only one old man at this table. I saw him take a bite of the cake and drink the radish soup, and the food was very sweet.

It is estimated that there is only one person who can eat such a sweet meal, and that is Hai Ruihai Gangfeng, the county commander of Daxing County at this time.

After sitting down, Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "Just now, the door official sent a message that a group of people entered Daxing County. The carriage guard, but a young man, made a point of inquiring about the gatekeeper and the collection of taxes. ”

"The doorman thought it was unusual and sent the news."

Hai Rui was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at Xu Wenchang, and then continued to bow his head to eat: "I didn't do anything illegal, I don't care what he did." ”

Looking at Hai Rui helplessly, Xu Wenchang sighed and said, "Don't you feel familiar?" ”

"Who it doesn't matter!" Hai Rui still didn't care at all and said: "We don't have anything to see, whoever likes to watch it." ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Xu Wenchang didn't know what to say, but he knew that Hai Rui was so virtuous, and it was in vain.

After the two of them finished eating, they went out of the room, and there was a servant outside to report, saying that a group of people came to the door, and the leader was holding the waist card in the palace, and it was the inner guard.

After listening to the report of the officer, Xu Wenchang was not surprised at all, glanced at Hai Rui, and said with a smile: "Here, go out to greet you!" As he spoke, he walked towards the door, but Hai Rui didn't say anything, and followed directly.

When the two of them came to the door, they naturally saw Zhu Yijun in the crowd at a glance.

Seeing that the two of them were about to salute, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need for these here, I thought about it very quietly, and thought that I would go to Daxing County to take a look." Saying that, Zhu Yijun walked into the county office.

Coming to the second hall of the county government, Zhu Yijun sat down on the main seat, while Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang bowed down and stood in the lobby.

When Zhu Yijun sat down, the two of them picked up their clothes and paid a big salute.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Two Aiqing, get up!" He pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and speak!" Waiting for the two of them to sit down, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I came to Daxing County today and found that the two Aiqing are doing very well!" ”

"I didn't want to disturb the two Aiqing, but my heart was itching and I couldn't help it!"

Glancing at the two of them, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm here, so let's talk to the two Aiqing, by the way, what about the people from the tax department?" Go and get someone from the tax department to me, I have something to ask. ”

"The minister will let people go!" Xu Wenchang hurriedly agreed, and then went out to ask someone to find the secretary of the tax department.

As for the tax department, Xu Wenchang and Hai Rui are not familiar with each other, and they usually do not have much contact. After the establishment of the tax department in Daxing County, there were tax officials wandering around all day long, and they didn't know what they were doing, as if they were planning something, and they didn't seem to be doing anything.

Seeing that he had already gone to find someone, Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, but talked about Daxing County.

"I took a look along the way, and the two Aiqing are doing well, and the civil servants are also doing well." Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "Two Aiqing, who will tell me about the situation in Daxing County?" ”

"Let's just say it!" Hai Rui glanced at Xu Wenchang and said expressionlessly.

In fact, Hai Rui is not good at this kind of thing, on the contrary, Xu Wenchang is very good at it.

"Okay, then Xu Aiqing will talk about it." Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile.

"There are now a total of 76 officials in Daxing County, and 16 officials employed by other yamen, which cost 92 yuan of silver every month, plus the food expenses of the yamen, about 100 yuan per month."

"Some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished, but after the city gate tax is introduced, there is still a surplus of about 100 yuan per month in the yamen." Xu Wenchang knew what Zhu Yijun cared about, so he said directly.

Listening to Xu Wenchang's words, Zhu Yijun nodded, and there was some emotion in his heart.

A city gate tax can collect 200 yuan per month, this is only a Daxing County, if it is the entire Shuntian Mansion, the entire Nanzhili, the entire Daming, how much money can be collected. The city gate tax can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket in the commercial tax.

In the past, the rich and powerful did not collect taxes, and the commercial taxes of the imperial court could not be collected at all, what a loss!

"It seems that the introduction of commercial taxes cannot be delayed!" Zhu Yijun sighed and said.

Xu Wenchang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "After the rectification of Daxing County and me during this period of time, there are no more scoundrels on the street, and the people in the yamen are not eating and taking cards. ”

"The time is ripe for tax collection, and we are about to appeal to Your Majesty!"

The so-called monthly money, in fact, is not only collected by the yamen, but also by many people, such as Jinyiwei, such as other yamen.

Daming's Yulu is too low, pointing out that Yulu can't support people at all. In addition, the imperial court allocated too few manpower to the yamen, and many manpower needed to be matched by the county officials themselves. For example, officials, such as officials, and so on.

This requires the yamen to raise their own silver taels, and the monthly money is a large part of the income.

Zhu Yijun did not dare to rashly collect commercial taxes, and this reason accounted for a large part.

Commercial tax is not confiscated, but exists in another form, which has also become the unspoken rule of officialdom. If the problem of the government is not solved first, and the commercial tax is directly collected, then the merchants will rebel.

Of course, a large part of the existence of such a monthly money goes into the pockets of individuals, rather than becoming the money of the state.

This is also the reason why monthly money is like a commercial tax, but it is not a commercial tax.

The three of them were chatting, and someone outside came to report that Si Cheng from the Daxing County Taxation Department had come.

Si Cheng of Daxing County is called Lu Wei, who was originally from the inner factory, or he was born in the inner factory school, and he was one of the earliest among them. Coming out of the training school in the inner factory, he entered the pear orchard.

In the inner factory school, students are generally divided into three types.

One is strong in combat and can fight, they generally enter the action team, and the other is that they can't fight, but they have a good mind and are very good at reading and writing.

The inner factory also has an industry, you can't manage the emperor to ask for money, the industry is hidden at the same time, but also has revenue!

The third type of person is that he is not very good at the above two, but can go undercover and act, and such people have basically entered the intelligence department. Lu Wei was born in the business department, and he is considered an old internal factory, and he has made meritorious contributions, so that he can bleach his identity and serve in the tax department.

Now many people in the inner factory are thinking of making meritorious contributions and then transferring to other positions.

Live in the sun, live like a normal person, and be able to do it officially, who doesn't want to. Except for a few perverts in the action team, who like to live that kind of life, no one wants to be a normal person, marry a wife and have children.

After entering the lobby, Lu Wei didn't expect that there were so many people in the room.

"I haven't seen Your Majesty yet!"

After Lu Wei came in, Zhang Whale opened his mouth first and scolded.

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed to Zhu Yijun and said: "Daxing County Taxation Division Director Lu Wei See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

"Get up and talk!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said lightly.

When Lu Wei stood up, Zhu Yijun continued to speak: "Did the tax department give you a text?" What about the commercial tax in Daxing County? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the text of the Taxation Department has arrived, in order to preside over this commercial tax collection, Lord Wang, the head of the Taxation Department, will arrive in Daxing in the next two days." Lu Wei hurriedly replied.

Will the king come with Yongji?

After listening to Lu Wei's words, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, it seems that Wang Yongji is not bad, and he also knows the seriousness of the matter. As long as you open up the situation in Daxing, you can leave rules for the future.

Knowing that Wang Yongji was coming, Zhu Yijun didn't ask Lu Wei's thoughts.

"Alright, I know, you can step down!" Zhu Yijun nodded and let Lu Wei go out.

Zhu Yijun came to Daxing County, first, to take a look at civil servants, and secondly, to take a look at commercial taxes. The performance of civil servants is not bad, as for the matter of commercial taxes, Wang Yongji wants to come over to preside over it, go back and ask him himself!

After everything was done, there was nothing dissatisfied, and Zhu Yijun was ready to return to the palace.

Leaving Daxing County, Zhu Yijun sat in the car and swayed back to the palace, and just returned to the Qianqing Palace before he had time to rest, Zhang Whale came to report.

"Emperor, today the Academy of Sciences handed over a fold, saying that they made something and wanted to present it to the emperor."

Academy?

Zhu Yijun immediately remembered that he also had a Ming Royal Academy of Sciences, and Xu Guangqi was still in it. It's just that he was busy with the war in the northwest during this time, and he didn't care about them.

Zhu Yijun remembered this, but he didn't give them less money!

Now that I've made something, I want to dedicate it to myself, it seems that it should be a good thing!

"It's getting dark today, I'm tired, let them bring things in tomorrow!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "Drive, go to Kunning Palace, and I will go to the queen for dinner." ”

The next morning, Zhu Yijun got up very late, and there were not many days when he could laze into bed.

Queen Wang looked at Zhu Yijun with a big belly, with a happy smile on her face.

For the queen and the king, the emperor is the best man in this world, he is gentle, he is wise, and he likes himself. During this time, she was pregnant, and the emperor came to his side more often than before.

Reaching out and touching her belly, Queen Wang showed a happy smile.

Zhu Yijun opened his eyes, glanced at Queen Wang, and then said with a smile: "Looking at me like this, are you obsessed with my prosperous beauty?" ”

When Queen Wang heard this, she laughed out loud, and then threw a wink at Zhu Yijun in disgust: "Your Majesty made the concubine laugh again, Imperial Physician Li said that the concubine's body can't laugh." ”
