Zhang Shangying took out another notebook and looked at it, and said with a black line on his face: "In this issue, Yongle military craftsmen are supervising the sub-field, selling 73,000 pieces of soap in the royal name, and the profit is 140,000 yuan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tao Jiefu was a little excited when he heard it, the profit of the field exceeded that of the home field, this was a slap in the face of Zhang Shangying, so even if the fat man didn't like Xiao Gao, he also applauded and applauded: "Amazing, the field is more than the home field, Xiao Gao is worthy of praise." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said curiously: "Didn't you hear that Xiaogaodi only deals in low-grade soap, and the price is cheap, why do you earn more than us in Bianjing?" ”

Zhang Shangying couldn't say why, so he concluded with "his kid is treacherous and obscene".

Zhao Ji obviously didn't believe Lao Zhang's conclusion, and he didn't hear that the Yongle Army was unstable under his rule, but he heard that many people sued Gao Fangping, but it wasn't for money. Since he didn't make public resentment, and Zhao Ji was greedy for money, he acquiesced that maybe Xiao Gao had some pitfalls, but it was not unacceptable.

Immediately, Gao Fangping almost died of anger, and Zhang Shangying continued to say violently: "You don't know the official, this kid is black, and 140,000 yuan is only half of what he earns. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ji was startled and asked, "What about the other half?" ”

"It's all the boy's reputation as a county government office, and the name is a heavy tax for luxury." Zhang Shangying said.

Gao Fangping's face was more embarrassed than pork liver, and he wanted to drag Lao Zhang down and beat him to death, damn it, eat me and use me, dare to pit me?

Zhao Ji was stunned, but he was not as annoyed as he imagined, and asked, "Xiao Gao, is there such a thing?" ”

Gao Fangping couldn't rely on it, so he had to say: "The big official family is wise and martial, and there is indeed such a thing." However, when Chen first arrived in Yunxian, many situations were not optimistic. The whole of Jeju was in a mess by Wang Huang's mallet, and the land annexation was particularly serious, and the problem of feeding many peasants who had lost their land was the first big problem waiting to be solved. The ministers dare to do anything, but they just don't dare to treat the people badly, they are all the people of the big officials' families, otherwise they will have no food, and if they don't agree with each other, they will be in trouble. Since there are financial resources and profits, other tax items cannot be moved by the national policy, so the ministers only have the court craftsmen as the superintendent branch to extract heavy taxes, and feed back those mud legs, so that they know that the official family feels sorry for them. ”

Although Zhao Ji was distressed about money and was a little unhappy, he listened to what he said makes sense, and listened to the people thank the royal family for the benefits, so Zhao Ji was embarrassed to get angry, and he didn't praise or criticize.

Immediately after, Gao Fangping put Zhang Shuye together, hugged his fists and said: "In addition, the financial and tax situation of Uncle Yexianggong's household department is not optimistic, the household secretary scolded the boy, and the uncle Yexianggong also threatened, and if the tax is not paid to the household department, he will come to seal my Yongle Military Treasury, and it is difficult for the boy." ”

Zhao Ji only realized when he heard this that it was Uncle Zhang who chased Xiao Gao at night and secretly felt funny. Of course, Zhao Ji was relieved, and the treasury of the household department was basically equivalent to the emperor's, at least in reputation.

So Zhao Ji said: "Xiao Gao, don't blame Uncle Ye, you must know that the money tax of the household department is the money tax of the dynasty, and it is also my money tax, in principle, Uncle Zhang is right, he has his difficulties." ”

"Well, since they are all paid to the left and right treasury of the big official's family, the minister is relieved." Gao Fangping deliberately looked at Zhang Shangyingdao.

Tao Jiefu seemed to have something important to say to the emperor, so he kept it, Zhang Shangying and Gao Fangping had nothing to say, so they retired early.

When they parted ways, Zhang Shangying said with bad intentions: "Boy, I'm afraid that you will be planted this time, and you dare to put Uncle Zhang on the night, hehe." ”

Gao Fangping said: "Shang Ying Xianggong, the main thing is that you are chasing me and biting, I have no choice but to throw a meat shield out to stand up, I can't help it, Uncle Ye Xianggong is aware of everything, I think he can understand that the culprit is yours." ”

Zhang Shangying said: "You little traitor is crazy, you dare to levy half of the heavy tax on the royal family, do you want to sit back and watch you be killed?" Damn, if you don't poke it out in advance, once you acquiesce, you will definitely be harmed in the future, if the emperor asks: Why don't you Shang Ying avenge me if they levy half of the tax. At that time, the old man had suffering, who did he say to go? ”

Gao Fangping said embarrassedly: "It's all for the emperor, we don't have to be so clear, right?" ”

Zhang Shangying said with a smile: "How can the old man be pitted by you, since you don't have to distinguish it, you just exempt the craftsmen in the Yongle Army, will Uncle Zhang still skin you alive at night?" ”

Gao Fangping said worriedly: "Uncle, don't think that Lao Zhang is not obscene, if I can't pay enough money and food to submit to the household department, he can really kill me." ”

Zhang Shangying hesitated for a moment and said: "In short, when you kid is a pit master in the future, it is best to negotiate with the old man first, and let the old man tie up the horse. ”

Gao Fangping hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong is wise, in the next step, when my more unique things come out, let's reformulate the amount of luxury tax, and finally it can be drawn to the eighth layer, and two layers can be handed over to the official family." ”

"What are you kidding, do you really think that the emperor will not kill people!" Zhang Shangying almost vomited blood and passed out.

"He won't, as long as the absolute value of the total amount paid to the royal family is increasing, the big officials won't care too much." Gao Fangping said: "From his demeanor and tone today, the lower officials dare to affirm this." ”

Who said that Zhang Shangying was not obscene, after hearing about it, he was really thinking about it with his beard twisted.

After a while, Zhang Shangying said with the intention of teaching: "Tell the old man, your kid's mentality and starting point for doing this?" ”

Gao Fangping clasped his fists and said: "Uncle Weiwu, you serve in the imperial city, you are in charge of the imperial craftsman's supervisor, you know the inside story, you tell me how big is the emperor's inner treasury?" ”

Zhang Shangying sighed and said: "It's very big, in the Imperial City, as well as in Bianjingcheng, a lot of internal warehouses have been built with labor and money, and they are basically full. This is the most disastrous move of the Cai Party to the country and the people, the Southeast Ying Feng Bureau is the first accomplice, which is the money, but the blood and sweat of the people of my Great Song Dynasty. The treasury is tight, but the treasury of the official family is huge, and it costs a lot of manpower and financial resources to keep the property, and it is not circulating, which is heartbreaking! ”

Gao Fangping said: "The lower officials know that you are an extremely obscene person, but the mentality of worrying about the country and the people is not fake. You're on point. This kid deliberately guided the official family and talked about the fact that the household treasury is the emperor's treasury. is taking preventive vaccinations, so that the official family aggravates this mentality, so that he feels that there is no difference between the inner treasury and the household treasury to him. In this way, Lao Tzu boiled frogs in warm water, and slowly ate away at the wealth of the inner treasury into the household, so that the wealth that was not circulated really turned into blood and entered the circulation of the dynasty. In this way, always controlling the inner treasury to a certain scale is a meritorious service to the dynasty, which can reduce the manpower of guarding the emperor's wealth, and can reduce the efforts of the officials to continue to expand the inner treasury. To do this, it is difficult for Lao Tzu to leave a name in history! ”

Zhang Shangying is different from Zhang Shuye, Zhang Shangying has limited interest in worrying about the country and the people, but he is very interested in leaving his name in history.

So Lao Zhang licked his lips and nodded, "Go on." ”

Gao Fangping spread his hands and said, "It's gone." In short, there is such a strange thing in our dynasty, cutting meat from the emperor will generally not die, but will go down in history. Kou Lao Xi'er put the emperor together and made the emperor go to the front line to pee his pants, such a scoundrel, you see whether he is famous or not. Wang Anshi, that villain, didn't pit the emperor in order to gain prestige, and he didn't talk about him anymore, and he fooled the emperor all day long to take the lead in doing coolies like a peasant, do you think he is famous in history? ”

Zhang Shangying squinted at him and said: "You kid is bad, our official family is very elegant and kind, the old man and you are here to discuss the matter of harming the official family, it always feels weird." However...... It seems that what you said is right, even if Cai Jing, an old dog, started a party struggle that brought disaster to the country and the people, he would not play the old man to death, well, in order to leave a name in history, as long as you kid dare to play, the old man will accompany him. It's so decided, the old man doesn't ask how much tax you collect, pretending to be stupid, if the emperor is unhappy at that time, you will go and talk to the emperor, anyway, make up reasons to prevaricate this kind of thing, no one is as good as you. In case you are slaughtered...... I will raise your wife. ”

"It's a deal." Gao Fangping said: "If something really happens to me one day, my henchmen, my family members, including my traitorous father, will rely on you to take care of me." ”

"Boy, be brave and do it." Lao Zhang Yan left, and was in a hurry to go to the craftsman prison to hang people up and smoke, he felt that those bastards didn't work hard enough, and they didn't make as much money for high-end goods as low-end goods, and Lao Zhang felt that this question was a bit mysterious......

Walking on the road, I recalled the conversation with the old Zhang Shangying.

What they said is true, Zhao Ji is such a stingy and greedy person, if he wants him to hand over the wealth of the inner treasury that he has looted in the past, he will not be killed. Damn, let the emperor take money every year to subsidize a little charcoal welfare for the residents of the capital, this is an unspoken rule formed by the efforts of several generations of famous ministers, even if the emperor is stingy, he is embarrassed to pay the bill.

Therefore, we can't throttle, we can only open source.

If the emperor's previous savings cannot be taken away, then the only way to do this is to frantically levy the luxury tax of the royal craftsmen and control the scale of the inner treasury. Of course, this step cannot be rushed, and it is true that the frog can only be boiled in warm water.

Gao Fangping's first step was successful, and he directly paid five layers of heavy taxes, which seemed to be frustrating and subversive, but because he made money, the emperor reluctantly accepted the statement of the left and right treasury.

It's easy to start with, but take your time and eventually aim for the eight-tier luxury tax. As long as the absolute value of the emperor is increasing, it is not a big problem, Zhao Ji is a very good person.

If the money enters Uncle Zhang's hands, then he has formed a good relationship with Lao Zhang, and when someone is impeached, Lao Zhang will clean up those trolls.

Otherwise, the royal treasury is really too obscene, according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, just like the tax sharing system in later generations, every year the money of the household department is withdrawn according to a certain proportion and contributed to the royal family. However, the royal family almost only enters and does not leave, and all expenses are household expenses, and Zhao Ji earns net profits. For example, a few days ago, Zhang Jixian asked for money and grain in Beijing to expand the Shangqing Palace, which was obviously the emperor's business, but he still had to take the money from Uncle Zhang, who was already unable to open the pot.

Lao Zhang didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor, so the hatred value was pulled away by that group of Taoist priests. Hey...... (To be continued.) )
