Nanjing City, prosperous and prosperous.

For Xu De, Nanjing is no stranger, and he has been here several times. It's just that Xu De doesn't like the place of Nanjing, the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is all in Jinling, and the sound of glamour is the most draining.

Sitting in the spacious room of the small building, pushing open the window, Xu De looked at the scenery outside with an expressionless face.

Beside Xu De, Qiu Niang stood respectfully, with no expression on her face.

The people in the inner factory have such an attitude in front of Xu De, Qiu Niang is definitely not one. In fact, until now, Xu De didn't know how far he could transfer the internal factory.

Since becoming the factory manager of the inner factory, Xu De has never known the depth of the inner factory.

The people in the inner factory are capable, obedient, and will never make mistakes in doing things, but Xu De doesn't know if these people are really his own people, and Xu De doesn't dare to delve into this problem.

"Qiu Niang, the land of Nanjing, didn't kill your ambition, right?"

Xu De turned his head to look at Qiu Niang and said with a smile.

"Back to the factory, Li Qiuniang is just a life-saver in the inner factory, what kind of ambition to talk about!" Qiu Niang said lightly: "But this time I saw that the demeanor of the factory was still the same, and Qiu Niang was very relieved." ”

Xu De immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiu Niang and said, "It's still our Qiu Niang who is the best at talking!" ”

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Saying that, Xu De sat back on the chair and said with a smile: "We don't care about Li Dan's affairs, that matter has nothing to do with our internal factory." ”

"Just send someone to keep an eye on it, you did a good job before."

Qiu Niang hurriedly said: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the factory father." ”

"Let's talk about other things in Nanjing!" Xu De looked at Qiu Niang, and then said: "This time, the emperor asked our family to come to Nanjing for business taxes. ”

"Since the introduction of the commercial tax, although there is no one in the court to make a fuss, there are indeed people in the capital who are brewing something now."

"But since our family has left Beijing, these have nothing to do with our family, but the affairs of the capital have something to do with Nanjing. The emperor once said that the weight of the Ming Dynasty is to talk about commercial tax, and the weight of commercial tax is in Nanjing. ”

"This is also the reason why our family came to Nanjing, Qiu Niang, this time it is a test for our family and the inner factory!"

Li Qiuniang looked at Xu De with a solemn face, and when she heard him say this, she said directly: "Father-in-law, my subordinates know." ”

Xu De nodded: "Then you tell our family where we should start." ”

"Back to the factory, Nanjing is a place in the south of the Yangtze River, although they all say so, but the prosperity of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River is also traceable. Relying on nothing more than a few things, the main thing is to find this thread, and everything will be solved. ”

"Jiangnan commerce is prosperous, one is salt, and the other is cloth."

"The salt policy has been changed a few years ago, and besides, salt merchants have to buy salt every year, and they will not choose to jump out. Then the rest is the cloth merchants, so in the land south of the Yangtze River, beware of cloth merchants making trouble is the top priority. ”

"Although other businesses in Jiangnan are also flourishing, they are scattered soldiers after all, and they can't make trouble."

"Only the salt industry and the cloth industry have a large number of people involved, and there are as many as 10,000 people in the dyeing workshops in the south of the Yangtze River. There are thousands of weavers, and once something happens and there is a commotion, it will be fatal. ”

"Jiangnan Textile is in Suzhou, and it is a humble thought that as long as it keeps an eye on Suzhou, Jiangnan will not have a big mess."

Xu De looked at Qiu Niang appreciatively, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well said!" ”

In fact, this is also Xu De's idea, you must know that the court is not afraid of who opposes it, nor is it afraid of anyone who is disobedient, it is useless if you are disobedient, you don't pay taxes, and the tax department Jinyiwei has a way to let you take out the money.

It's really not good, it's just the property of the Mo family, it's not a big deal.

The only thing that the imperial court is worried about is that someone will take the opportunity to make things bigger, cause mass incidents, and even make some rebellion. Once something like this happens, the pressure on the imperial court will be great.

If someone instigates the ministers to oppose it, then Zhu Yijun will have more pressure, and he can only retreat.

Once Zhu Yijun chooses to regress, then the commercial tax will completely collapse, and once the commercial tax collapses, all the arrangements made by Zhu Yijun before will definitely collapse one after another, this is like dominoes, the first one is overthrown, and the next one will fall a large piece.

If the commercial tax is pushed away by Zhu Yijun, then the sky is high and the birds will fly, and the sea will be wide and the fish will jump.

The land south of the Yangtze River is prosperous in commerce, and it is the base camp of officials and businessmen, especially in Huguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and Huguang is an important town for silk textiles. The land was converted into mulberry, and they took it all to weave.

The silk was sold to the Portuguese and Spaniards, and all the money was silver.

Daming has no food, which has a lot to do with what they do.

Of course, Zhu Yijun is not worried about this, but about the large amount of manpower they hold in their hands, including mulberry farmers, weavers, etc., it is said that in Suzhou alone, there are hundreds of thousands of weavers gathered.

Once these people are instigated to make a fuss, then the whole Jiangnan will be in chaos.

In the previous life, the tax supervisor sent to Suzhou by Emperor Wanli, the eunuch Sun Long, was in Suzhou to collect business, which caused a large number of Suzhou mechanics to lose their jobs, and more than 2,000 weavers and dyers rose up and killed many tax officials.

This is just a historical record, and Zhu Yijun doesn't know what the facts are.

Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't take this matter to heart, after all, his business tax was different from the tax supervisor of Emperor Wanli in history, and he was a standard tax collector, and it was the tax department that collected taxes.

It's not that the eunuchs go down to collect indiscriminately, this is different, and they take it from the people for the people.

Then Zhu Yijun was poured a bucket of cold water, this bucket of cold water is Li Maocai's share of "please strike the business tax", how simple it is written, "The emperor wants gold and silver to be higher than Beidou, and not to let the people have the reserve of chaff and rise." The emperor wants to plan for his descendants for thousands of years, but not for the people to have a plan overnight. What he said was imposing, but it made Zhu Yijun vigilant.

At that moment, Zhu Yijun understood one thing, he floated.

The key point of the matter is not your starting point and the way you do things, but how others think you do things. These people make it clear that they don't want to pay taxes, but the fault can't be them, nor can it be the emperor, so whose fault is it?

It must be the fault of the tax department, and when the time comes, a big hat will be buttoned up.

Splashing dirty water on the tax department, these people must do everything they can, and dare to say anything about pouring dirty water on the emperor, let alone the tax department? This kind of thing must not happen, this is the reason why Zhu Yijun sent Xu De to Jiangnan.

Zhu Yijun made up his mind this time to defeat the voice of opposition to commercial taxation and solve the problem of tax collection in Daming once and for all.

"When will Jiangnan's commercial tax start to be collected?" Xu De looked at Qiu Niang and asked slowly.

"It's not going to be too long!" Qiu Niang said slowly: "It should be that within this month, the tax department of Nanzhili will start to collect taxes, and all localities will start together, and the main ones that will be collected are transaction tax and industrial and commercial tax." ”

Xu De nodded, and then said, "Who is the manager of the Nanzhili Tax Department?" ”

"Back to the factory, it's Nan Huairen!" Qiu Niang hurriedly spoke.

Xu De was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Our inner factory was originally from Nanzhili? Nan Huairen, our family remembered that this person was a name given by His Majesty personally, isn't it? ”

"Back to the factory, yes, Nan Huairen did a good job in the tax department." Qiu Niang hurriedly said.

Xu De nodded, stroked his fake beard and said: "It turned out to be him, born in the inner factory, it seems that there is a good show to watch this time, I don't know how far he can go." ”

"Let people keep an eye on it, if nothing happens, let's leave it alone."

"Yes, father-in-law!" Qiu Niang respectfully agreed, then turned around and retreated.

Since the news that the imperial court was going to levy commercial taxes reached Jiangnan, the land of Jiangnan has not been calm. Most of the people here rely on business to make money, especially large families.

Official, business, official and businessman, this title is definitely not called in vain, in the entire Jiangnan, basically every official's family is in business. It is very difficult to collect taxes in such a place.

Everyone is watching, waiting, wanting to see what the tax department will do, wanting to see whose family is the first to be taxed.

Yamen of the Department of Taxation.

Nan Huairen sat on the chair, drinking tea expressionlessly, as the existence of the name given by the emperor, Nan Huairen's status in the inner factory is very high. After entering the tax department, Nan Huairen did even better.

It can be said that he is like a fish in water, and it didn't take two years to be promoted to the manager of the South Zhili of the Tax Department.

Sweeping his gaze over the subordinates below, Nan Huairen asked directly, "Are you all ready?" ”

"Lord Hui, everything is ready!" The people below all said loudly.

Nodding, Nan Huairen said with a smile: "Tell the people below that the gong is going to be struck loudly, and the notices are everywhere, in a word, let everyone know, and complete this matter well, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone hurriedly bowed down and replied.

Nan Huairen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"My lord, we don't have enough manpower!" The next person spoke slowly.

Waving his hand, Nan Huairen laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about manpower, this official has already contacted Jinyiwei and the Wei State Mansion, and the Jin Yiwei will help, and the Wei State Mansion has sent a thousand households over." ”

"If it's not enough, this official is going to the Duke of Wei's mansion, you just need to do it well."

Nan Huairen is very confident now, there is already news in the capital, and the people from the Wei Mansion and Jinyiwei can use it, and don't be polite. If something goes wrong, you can't blame yourself.

Although he didn't know why the capital had such a text, Nan Huairen knew that the capital gave him such a text, so it definitely meant something, so he simply let go of his hands and feet.

"Yes, my lord, we will definitely live up to your trust!"
