Is this governor here to send warmth today? If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't shout nonsense, these people would have to shout long live.

In this era, it is actually quite easy to buy people's hearts, especially these soldiers, a little favor makes them grateful to Dade.

This was given to them by the Governor, and what civil official could have treated them like this before? Can they not be grateful?

Next, they will also take a shower and get a haircut, of course, not a haircut like the Tiance Army, but a trim. The last person has two sets of clothes, one for training uniforms, for training. A set of chengguan uniforms, the kind that was common in later generations.

In the future, they don't need to be equipped with knives, guns, swords, halberds, and each of them will have a set of rubber leather armor, a rubber rod, and a steel helmet, which is definitely a weapon for fighting.

They say that it is urban management, but in fact, it is a disguised tax, mainly a commercial tax. Chengguan will start from Suzhou and gradually develop to all prefectures and counties in Yingtianfu. The place with the most rich people is actually in Yangzhou, where there are not a few salt merchants with assets of tens of millions of taels.

Now is just the beginning, Wang Yue plans to recruit 20,000 city managers within the scope of Yingtianfu, and they must be present in the prefectures, counties and towns.

The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are too bad, and there is a saying that the Ming Dynasty was unable to collect taxes and was unable to raise troops and provide disaster relief, which led to its demise.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty compared with the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the population increased fourfold, the cultivated land area also increased several times, and the productivity also made great progress, but the ridiculous thing is that the land endowment has been decreasing.

Salt and iron tea in feudal society was monopolized by the imperial court, and Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty was the largest province in producing tea, so how much can the tea tax be collected in a year? It's six taels. That's right, it's six taels! Yunnan, another major tea-producing province, collects 17 taels of tea tax a year.

Look at the salt tax: in 1550, the Hubu Shangshu estimated that the government actually collected only 40 percent of the total salt produced in the two Huai, and the remaining 60 percent of the salt went to merchants who sold illicit salt.

Song Yingxing's "Wild Discussion. The record in the "Salt Politics Treatise" is also enough to illustrate the problem: "In the heyday of Wanli, the capital of (salt merchants) in Guangling was no less than 30 million taels, and the annual interest could be 9 million taels, and only one million taels were lost" Look at how strong the capital of salt merchants is.

Hong Wuchu stipulated, "All commercial taxes, thirty and one, the exceedance will be regarded as violating the order." The commercial tax was already very low at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the commercial tax was already dispensable. According to records, during the Wanli period, Jinhua, a wealthy county in Zhejiang, only collected less than seven taels of commercial tax a year.

Let's look at the city tax of the Ming Dynasty (equivalent to the import and export tax of the current customs).

Zheng Zhilong Group relied entirely on maritime trade to rise, but only by virtue of the profits of maritime trade and the levy fee of 2,000 gold per ship, it reached "tens of millions of annual income".

Compared with the Ming Dynasty government, the total city tax is only 40,000 taels. The annual financial revenue of the imperial court is only four million taels, how ridiculous is this.

Since the court did not collect the commercial tax, Wang Yue laughed at it. These businessmen have been exempt from tax for 200 years, and it's time to contribute.

Local construction is inseparable from taxation, and it is also inseparable from taxation to support a large group of civil servants. To develop industry, transportation must come first. To develop education for all, it is necessary to build a large number of schools.

Most of these merchants made money and buried them except for buying land. It's not going to work, you have to get the money going.

"Chen Zaiming, your battalion is temporarily stationed in Suzhou, if there is anything that is not open-minded, you have the right to let it go. Do you understand? Wang Yue commanded.

"Yes, I understand!" Chen Zaiming is a master who is not afraid of things, so Wang Yue specially left him to do this.

The place facing the street in the backyard of the governor will open a window to the outside world, and the more than a dozen accounting cashiers will collect management fees here.

The chengguan only supervised the payment, and did not directly contact the money. Merchants pay the management fee and must redeem the silver round roll before they can handle it. After the payment is completed, the staff will give them a voucher for charging, which is a triple single receipt for modern technology, which cannot be imitated by others.

It is possible for the chengguan to collect the benefits of merchants and reduce tax returns, which is unavoidable in the early stage. Now that it is a start-up, the framework will be put up first, and there will be a corresponding supervision department to follow up later.

Wang Yue came to Suzhou and did nothing, just went to the barracks to plague those who were soldiers.

Judging from the movement, the scourge is quite severe, and the officials in Suzhou City gradually put their hearts in their stomachs, as long as Wang Yue doesn't toss them, so on the surface, everything is indeed business as usual. It's just that the back wall of the governor's line is undergoing a major renovation, and it's a little incomprehensible, so it's not something they have to care about.

Suzhou is here is the official handover and the establishment of the urban management team, leaving Chen Zaiming's battalion to sit here, and Wang Yue continues to go up the river.

The naval fleet of the Tiance Army passed through Nanjing without entering, and continued to sail towards Anqing.

It is said that he should meet with Lu Weiqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, after all, he is a guest army, and he always has to fight.

However, Nanjing, a broken place, has a particularly strange power structure. Especially in the military system, not only the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department can dispatch troops, but also the eunuchs who guard the town can also intervene. The daily management is Gui Xungui, and now it is managed by Zhao Zhilong of Xincheng Hou.

Governor Ying Tian also had the right to dispatch troops from the Jiangnan region of Nanzhili, and everyone was directly under the central government, not superiors and subordinates. Therefore, it can be seen that the administrative structure of the Ming Dynasty was very problematic, which often caused prevarication.

This kind of right intersection is also reflected in the division of jurisdictions, Anqing Mansion and the surrounding Yingtianfu from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the South Zhili, Chongzhen year and set up an An, Lu, Chi, Tai and Henan Guangzhou, Guangshan, Gushi, Luotian, Huguang Qizhou, Guangji, Huangmei, Jiangxi Dehua, Hukou and other places of the governor, now this governor is Shi Kefa.

An, Lu, and Chi are Anqing, Luzhou (Hefei), and Chizhou, which are the jurisdictions of the governor of Yingtian. Although there is another governor here, it still belongs to the responsibility area of the Ying Tian Governor, and the status of the Ying Tian Governor is higher, so the position of the Anqing Governor is lower than that of the Ying Tian Governor.

Shi Kefa is the governor of Anqing with the imperial history of the capital, and he is the fourth product. Wang Yue was the governor of the left squire of the military department, from the second grade. In fact, Shi Kefa can also not bird Wang Yue, because everyone is directly under the central government.

Everyone has a mother-in-law in this crackdown, that is, Wang Jiazhen, the governor of the five provinces, who is currently sitting in Henan remote control.

Because the Fourth Regiment of Wang Hongwu had already passed through Xuzhou and arrived in Luzhou, which was not far from Anqing, the naval fleet had to rush to Anqing as soon as possible to replenish the supplies of the troops coming by land.

Locally, there is no way to count on it, and after repeated tug-of-war between officers and soldiers and rogues in the Anqing area, agricultural production has almost come to a standstill, and it is difficult to buy grain even if you have money.
