"I see that the summer tax of Liangguang is only more than a million taels of silver, and at the moment when the army is used, the military expenditure accounts for ninety percent of the ninety-nine, and which one is not the treasury of soldiers' salaries, meals, summer clothes and winter clothes, armor and weapons, horses and forage, plus rewards, pensions, and people's feet?

The more than 7 million taels of dirty silver in the household department are enough for a year and a half at most, and it is only enough to save the emergency. Zhu Youlang said with a frown.

Chen Zizhuang, the squire of the military department, was a resolute main battle faction, and nodded: "The imperial court has nearly 200,000 troops, and there are more than five million taels of food and salary every year, and the military expenditure is indeed huge, but without those hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, the Central Plains cannot be restored, and the minister thinks that this money must be spent!" ”

"Then where will the cost of raising soldiers come from in the coming year?" Zhu Youlang asked lightly.

"This ......"

Chen Zizhuang hesitated for a long time, and said: "The way of economy is not the minister's director, the minister is ......."

"Forget it!" Zhu Youlang waved his hand and motioned for him to return to the column.

After a moment of coldness, the head of the household department Yan Qiheng bowed and said: "As long as the imperial court keeps Yungui, Liangguang and Huguang, Jiangxi and other places will not be lost, and within ten years, the ministers dare to protect the imperial court's annual income of more than five million taels!" ”

"If that's the case, it's not bad, but it's far from quenching your thirst...... Zhu Youlang frowned and asked: "When the ancestors were in the past, how much did Guangzhou Bosi earn every year?" ”

"Guangzhou City's shipping department is under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong political envoy, and the tariff is more than 50,000 taels per year, and it is not enough to pay 100 officials, but it is just a ......drop in the bucket."

Yan Qiheng introduced the city, equivalent to today's customs, tariffs according to coarse and fine materials, ranging from one percent to one-tenth, an average of three or four percent, the so-called coarse and fine materials, that is, today's raw materials and high value-added goods.

"The city department belongs to the political department, doesn't it cede the central finance to the local government?" Zhu Youlang was keenly aware of the greasy inside, he vaguely remembered that during the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou, Ningbo, and Guangzhou had a total of millions of tariffs, and there were two or three million taels of silver, and the annual import and export volume was seventy or eighty million.

And now the annual tariff of the Guangzhou City Shipping Division under the jurisdiction of Daming is only more than 50,000 taels, and the depth of the inside story is incredible!

He pondered for a long time, and made up his mind to meddle in the maritime trade profits of the city shipping department: "From now on, the city shipping department will still be set up in Guangzhou, which will be directly under the jurisdiction of the inner court, and I will send a special person to collect customs duties at that time!" ”

"Emperor Shengming!" After listening to Zhu Youlang's words, Yang Shouchun, the master of ceremonies standing on the side, suddenly showed a faint smile, and he nodded hurriedly and agreed: "The slave maid thinks that the tariff of the city is far from enough, and it can't quench the thirst, the emperor wants to quench the thirst, and the slave has a way to quench the thirst, I don't know if to say it......

Zhu Youlang glanced at Yang Shouchun and said with surprise: "Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

"It's nothing more than wool from the sheep, as long as the imperial court levies a tax, that is, a checkpoint is set up at the key passes on land and water, and a tax of one percent (one percent) is levied on past commercial goods, and the slave and maid dare to guarantee that they can get at least two million taels of silver a year!"

"Donate......" Zhu Youlang groaned with interest.

"The minister is against!"

Wu Zhenyu, the imperial history of Zuodu, said: "The ministers used to cross from Jinling to the south, where they passed, regardless of the counties and villages, as far as the eye could see, ten rooms and nine emptiness, all because the Tartars did not arrive and the rout army arrived first, the officers and soldiers robbed, looting together, the prefectures and counties and villages, looted all over, full of devastation, the officials did not do to secure the people, but more mean, the people cried and howled, abounding, the people's hearts scattered and rebelled, endlessly, wherever the ministers went, they wept every day.

At the beginning of the year, His Majesty abolished a whip law, mainly to collect rice and wheat, the people were exempted from exploitation, the people's hearts gradually attached, the vitality was increasing, and the countryside was a thriving scene!

The tax is said to be good, called the collection of armpits into fur, tossing and turning to accumulate between the subtleties.

Commercial tax in the front, tax in the back, to put it bluntly, it is the tax after tax, a typical harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes, the people have suffered from war, but also to kill chickens and eggs, ministers think it is not advisable! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Chen Zizhuang, the squire of the military department, took the lead in expressing his position.

"The minister also seconded it!"

Shoufu Qu Shiyun thought about it and also stood up and expressed his support.

"Emperor, if you don't levy money, there will be no military spending in the coming year, how to make it?" Yang Shouchun pounded his chest and said.

"If it is a big mess, will Gonggong Yang be responsible?" Wu Zhenyu stared at Yang Shouchun with a blank face.

"Alright, alright, Rong Zhen thinks!"

Zhu Youlang interrupted their dispute, the policy of levying the gold was originally thought up by him, but he said it through the mouth of his henchman eunuch Yang Shouchun, the purpose was just to test the reaction of the ministers of the six ministries, but he didn't expect them to react so violently, but it greatly surprised Zhu Youlang.

Qu Shiyun and Chen Zizhuang are both official eunuchs, and both have Donglin backgrounds, and behind the Donglin Party is a huge collection of feudal landlords, factory owners, and even maritime merchants as one of the scholars and merchants.

Although Wu Zhenyu is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is also a family of eunuchs, Jinshi and the first, these three people are logically said to have no problems with their character and integrity, and they are different from other Donglin scum fake Taoists, and they can be called doers who have the courage to do things.

However, the position on this matter is surprisingly consistent, Zhu Youlang is not sure that there is a bit of public intentions, a little selfishness, the ruling and the emperor can not agree, the policy is difficult to implement, forced implementation, the ministers do not cooperate, soft resistance, will make the effect of a big blow and deducted.

For the sake of insurance, he decided to put aside the donation in advance, and did not dare to make a rash decision.

Zhu Youlang frowned and said, "Besides collecting donations, isn't there any other way to solve the urgent need?" ”

"The minister has a plan, maybe ......"

Yan Qiheng hesitated.
