Geng Jingming knows very well that he is poking a hornet's nest, and once the implementation is successful, it will be a piece of fat cut from the top of the place, and it is strange that the place does not rebound. But this is undoubtedly in the interests of His Majesty, and also in the interests of the Imperial Court.

The poll tax is fixed, the land tax cannot be faked, and what the local government can do is the endowment and commercial tax, and the high liquidity of commercial funds is too easy to make a fuss.

Geng shrewdly could imagine that this policy began to be implemented, even if it was real, he would usher in a wave of faces. Because according to the convention, as long as the pilot is started, it means that the emperor has basically agreed to this policy. Once the pilot is successful, it will be fully rolled out. So when that time comes, they will definitely try their best to obstruct it, not only from the policy, but also to launch personal attacks on themselves.

I wasn't clean in the past.

On top of this matter, the emperor must be happy to see it, the first auxiliary Quan Yun must be with the mud again, the Ministry of Officials Fang Dazhi is definitely in opposition, the Ministry of War Zhang Xiaozheng will not mix with political affairs, and the Ministry of Industry will firmly support himself, the super-large projects in his hands are poor money, of course, I am happy to see more silver in the treasury. The old man Xiao of the Ministry of Rites has no position, but in the past two years, in order to spread out his school across the country, he has been begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find money everywhere, and he only needs a small promise to make him his right-hand man, although he is a household servant, but Su Kairong and His Majesty want to correct themselves The meaning is obvious, and he must be happy to give himself a favor to his future household secretary. When the time comes, a little looseness on his hand will be enough for him to eat and drink. Besides, giving money to let Old Man Xiao run a school is also a serious matter. Old man Tang of the Criminal Department has the lowest status among the six departments, but he has worked hard in the past two years, but he has also done a lot of things quietly, and there are many places with the help of his strength at that time, so he must also sell him personal favors in advance, and those people may not realize Old Man Tang's energy until now.

When this thing is done, he is in the position of the head of the household, and there will be no more controversy.

Geng Jingming is the most successful businessman in Daming, and in a short period of time, he started from scratch and became the richest guy in Daming, and also became a legend in the business world. In the business world, he has proven himself. Politics is not what he wants most, but since the emperor has taken a fancy to himself and dragged himself in, then if you don't do it, you have to do it, of course, you have to do it to the best.

Geng shrewdly looked up at the emperor.

The emperor is about the same age as himself, this is a legendary figure, and more importantly, he has the grace and courage to use people, follow him, or he will not only become a legend in the business world, but also a star in the political world.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Geng Jingming was a little distracted, Qin Feng couldn't help but be a little curious, it was really rare to be distracted in front of him and think of someone who went elsewhere.

"Oh, Your Majesty, the minister is thinking about the sea trade." Geng shrewdness came back to his senses suddenly.

"Haimao? Still eyeing the tax on this piece?" Qin Feng frowned, "This piece, I am going to bring it to a special water master. You also know that a sailor is a big money spent, whether it's a ship or a soldier."

"Your Majesty, when you promised the Maritime Administration before, the Maritime Administration had just opened, there was nothing to be done, and the imperial court had nothing to subsidize them, so there was this policy, but now it is very different, the so-called this time is also, that time, the policy should be changed according to the change of the actual situation, so as not to fall behind the times!" Geng shrewdly shook his head and said.

"Then you can tell me about this time and that time, right?" QIN Fengdao.

"Yes, Your Majesty. First of all, the scale of the Maritime Administration has expanded dramatically, after the return of Zhou, we already have three fleets, and at present, our top priority is not to expand at sea, the existing scale is enough for us to maintain a huge advantage at sea, so the Maritime Administration no longer needs to manufacture so many warships every year, and it is enough to maintain a steady growth. So we can now focus more on the manufacture of civilian merchant ships, which is hugely profitable. Second, General Ning led the fleet to attack Manila, if nothing else, we will have a fixed port in Manila, which also means that we will completely control this sea area, and the sea trade will usher in explosive growth, not to mention the profits here. The minister secretly estimated that the annual net income of the Maritime Administration would exceed tens of millions of taels, and as long as the sailors did not manufacture warships on a large scale, then the annual military expenditure of two million taels would be enough. If the money is put in the account of the Maritime Administration, it will only mold, but when the court gets it back, it can do more things. Third, now Ning Zeyuan is the main force on the side of the water division, and the addition of the Zhou family has become another force, I am not saying what will happen to General Ning, but it is inevitable that there is a bias, and it is also human nature, and it is not conducive to the unity within the water division. So it is necessary to make the accounts of the sailors clear. Thirdly, the imperial court had a clear order, the government and the army were separated, and the Maritime Administration was a special case at that time, and since it was a special case, after getting on the right track, of course, it was necessary to put things right, which was not only responsible for the imperial court, but also for General Ning."

"It's a long way to go, and it's quite comprehensive!" Qin Feng laughed.

"Your Majesty, the central government controls the localities, one is in the people, and the other is in the wealth. Now my Ming Dynasty has basically abolished the recommendation system, replaced by the examination and selection system, the central dispatch system, and the local government has basically accepted this model, but in the financial power, the imperial court is too loose for the local constraints. Therefore, the minister believes that it is necessary to gradually return the financial power to the central government, and then transfer the payment from the central government. In this way, the imperial court only has a firm grip on personnel and financial power, and the disaster of the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty will not appear in the Ming Dynasty." Geng shrewdly talked eloquently.

"Geng is shrewd." Qin Feng knocked on the table, "You have to eat one bite at a time, Ruth has to walk step by step, if you take too far a step, you will fall. You can't say you're wrong, but you can't rush it. You have just taken up your new role, and the policy is too radical, and it is easy to give birth to problems, which is very bad for you. Su Kairong and I have high hopes for you. I don't want to see you break your wings halfway."

"Will Your Majesty watch the ministers fold their wings?" Geng shrewdly asked rhetorically.

Qin Feng smiled and did not directly answer Geng Jingming's words, "To do business, you can go off the beaten path with your sword, fight wars, and use tricks, but you must be steady and upright in governance. Only by balancing the interests of all parties can we move forward steadily. What you said, I already know, the matter of the water master, when Ning Zeyuan comes back, you can contact him first and talk about it. In my opinion, there will be no problems with Ning Zeyuan, but the generals under his command will definitely have opinions. As for the issue of financial power, after the battle of Yongdu is over, you can pilot it in Shayang, if it succeeds, it can naturally be promoted, but if it fails, you know the consequences."

Geng shrewdly smiled, but still nodded: "The minister understands, the minister will definitely do a good job of him."

"Well, it's better to be quiet and not move in the near future. Let's focus on the Battle of Yongdu first."

"Obey the order!" Geng stood up and said goodbye.

Geng Jingming left in good spirits, but Qin Feng fell into deep thought, what Geng Jingming said, it is indeed in a word, the central government controls the place, one is people, and the other is wealth. Wang Hou boiled his hair white, and it took a lot of effort to bring the personnel back to the central government step by step, and now it is indeed the time to collect the financial power, but this is undoubtedly a more difficult thing.

In power for many years, Qin Feng has already transformed from the hot-blooded young man into a mature politician, knowing that the way to govern, the first thing is to balance the interests of all parties, every reform, must touch the vested interests, think about the difficulties encountered when Wang Hou reformed the rule of officials, you can imagine the problems that Geng Jingming will encounter in the future.

Wang Hou is an old senior, but Geng Jingming is a new talent. When people deal with him, they don't have any worries. He really didn't want such a nice guy to break his wings halfway. Shayang is not so easy to deal with. Geng shrewdly chose the most difficult one for himself at the beginning.

Or maybe he did it on purpose, if he really let him conquer Shayang, then the next thing is smooth sailing. Or when the time comes, you can quietly help him a little, let's say, adjust a few officials?

All in all, it's not easy to do and do well. This is different from the battlefield and hostile confrontation, which can be solved with blood and fire, and this matter, to put it bluntly, is an internal power struggle, and it is a game between the central and local governments.

Behind Geng's shrewdness, there are naturally people. Including the time point of raising this matter is very exquisite, after the battle of Yongdu, the Ming Dynasty will completely annex the Qin State, at this time, the prestige of the imperial court will reach its peak, the newly incorporated territory, has not yet been fully formed, at this time can be the local financial power to the central government, then, the next arrangement in the Qin State, will be smooth sailing effortless. If it can't be solved at this point in time, then as the territory gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more counties, the opposition will be greater in the future, and things will be more difficult to do.

I am afraid that it is not only Geng Jingming who can see this, or the initiator, but Su Kairong, who is bent on stepping down quickly.

This old fox!

Qin Feng snorted in his heart. Su Kairong has a lot of political experience, and he has already seen that the imperial court will definitely do it on top of the finances next, so he was busy trying to get out, and pushed Geng Jingming, a newborn tiger, to do this, so that he could successfully get out.

"Think beautifully!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, if you want to take yourself out, do you want to see if I agree or not? Su Kairong's experience in this kind of struggle is not comparable to Geng Jingming, a junior brother in the political arena, when the time comes, he must be put on this car, if there is any problem, he must let this old fox stand up to it, otherwise, he will not die hard.

If you want to retire early and make a lot of money, then take care of this matter for me first!
