Chapter 90: The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people
"If you encounter an emergency, you can apply to the higher level for a temporary increase in the budget, such as a disaster, or a foreign invasion, you can apply to the imperial court for an increase in the budget." Zhu Youxiao explained.
"The minister probably understands how this budget should be done." Shen Yan nodded and said.
"You can let Shuntianfu try to do it first, accumulate experience, and then when the time comes, you won't be in a hurry when you make the budget for next year's whole year, in short, the more detailed the better, if you can get my approval, even if the treasury can't allocate money next year, I will allocate money from Neinu to support Suncheonfu's budget." Zhu Youxiao said.
"The second is to pilot the request that all the taxes collected by the Shuntianfu Tax Department be handed over to the Imperial Bank first, and then according to the principle of 46 shares, 40% will be reserved for the local government, and 60% will belong to the central government, that is, the national treasury, and at the same time, I will set up a tax department in the central government to manage the tax affairs. In the future, local tax divisions and tax bureaus will be under the jurisdiction of the local government as well as the tax department. ”
"In the past, tax matters were under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, but now there is a separate tax department, how should the Ministry of Households deal with it?" Han Yi asked.
"In the future, all matters related to the collection of taxes will be managed by the Tax Division, and the taxes collected by the Taxation Department will be handed over to the Household Department." Zhu Youxiao said.
"The minister thinks it is inappropriate, and handing over the taxes to the Imperial Bank will inevitably lead to a separation between public and private, and the Imperial Bank is His Majesty's private property, and improper handling may affect His Majesty's reputation." Wang Shaohui stood up and objected. Wang Shaohui's words were very tactful, he was afraid that after the taxes were paid to the Imperial Bank, he would become Zhu Youxiao's nein.
"What Wang Ge Lao said is very true, and I also took this issue into consideration, so I decided to transfer 30% of the shares of the Imperial Bank to the cabinet, which means that the cabinet controls 30% of the voice of the Imperial Bank. The taxes paid by the local government to the Imperial Bank were controlled by the full cabinet, and the emperor had no right to interfere, which can be written into the "Great Ming Law". Zhu Youxiao said.
In this era of the family world, this sentence can be said to be the first time in the law for the cabinet to divide the imperial power and restrict the imperial power.
"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right. Han Yi was the first to realize this problem. This is what he remembered again Ye Xianggao said to him. As for the thirty percent of the shares of the Imperial Bank, they were selectively ignored by everyone.
"The Law of the Great Ming Dynasty is one of the foundations of the empire, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I think that whether it is me, the son of heaven or ordinary people, it should be abided by, of course, it should be revised or should be revised if it is not timely." Zhu Youxiao said seriously. It's just that Zhu Youxiao didn't realize that he had taken a bit big a step, although it was only more than 20 years away from the English bourgeois revolution of 1640.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, which has been pursued by the sages since ancient times, and now His Majesty has personally proposed it, which is worthy of a generation of Ming monarchs." Han Yi said happily.
"Mingjun doesn't dare to be, I just hope that after a hundred years, don't say that I am a faint king." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"I believe that after a hundred years, future generations will definitely say that Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs." Wei Guangwei immediately stood up and said.
"It's a bit off-topic, do you still have any objections to my proposal to deposit the taxes of the Shuntian Mansion into the Imperial Bank?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"There is no objection to the minister." Han Yi was the first to stand up and support Zhu Youxiao.
"The minister has no objection." Wei Guangwei also supported.
……
Except for Wang Shaohui, who did not express his position, the rest of the people expressed their support for Zhu Youxiao.
"Since everyone else is in favor of depositing the taxes of the Shuntian Mansion into the Imperial Bank, according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, from next year onwards, all the taxes of the Shuntian Mansion will be deposited in the Imperial Bank." Zhu Youxiao said happily. His plan went one step further.
……
Zhu Youxiao felt that after months of hard work, everything seemed to be starting to run in the direction he wanted. And now the harem is under the management of Zhang Yan, at least on the surface, it is already a harmonious atmosphere.
Wang Sai'er still has a dead face all day long, especially when she sees Zhu Youxiao, as if Zhu Youxiao owes her tens of millions of taels of silver. However, Zhu Youxiao promised her, but all the things were fulfilled. Her younger brother Wang Qian has been sent to the best private school by Zhu Youxiao, and the two siblings have met twice.
Although Wang Sai'er doesn't smile all day long, she can always do what Zhu Youxiao commands.
And Xiaoxiao is always cautious in the harem, and her background always makes her feel inferiority complex deep down. And she is in the harem, she still has no identity, she is neither a palace maid, nor a title, of course, none of the palace maids in the harem treat her as an ordinary person, she was brought into the palace by the emperor after all.
Xiaoxiao is also the most unshelf-free one, she has an average relationship with the harem concubines, but the relationship with the palace ladies is not bad, especially the relationship between the two Western beauties sent by the Dutch is the best, and the three of them seem to have a feeling of sympathy.
Xiaoxiao's happiest moment every day is when she sees Zhu Youxiao.
And Xiaoxiao's favorite thing to do is to sew clothes, after she came to the harem, she heard that Zhu Youxiao likes to design clothes, and now the dresses worn by the harem concubines are from him.
Xiaoxiao's most important thing every day is to design clothes with two Western beauties in the harem, and the two Western beauties bring some Western concepts, so that the styles of the dresses designed by Zhu Youxiao began to become diverse and complicated. Even Zhu Youxiao seemed to feel a huge change, and the women in the harem looked even more different.
The little female red has grown by leaps and bounds during this time, and she is already the number one in the entire harem.
Among the many new policies he has implemented, only the health bureau of the Tai Hospital has achieved remarkable results, and the cabinet has taken the initiative to demand that Zhu Youxiao's health bureau be promoted to the whole country, and the cost of the health bureau will be borne by the local government.
The results achieved by the Health Bureau are obvious, most of the confidential officials of the imperial court are over 50 years old, and they feel that the improvement of the environment is the most obvious, and some minor problems in the past have been effectively controlled after the improvement of the environment. There is no need for Zhu Youxiao to take the initiative to bring up such a matter for the benefit of himself and the country, and the cabinet has already done such a thing.
In this era of great reliance on natural fertilizers, the cost of building public toilets came from the sale of manure, and the public toilets in Kyoshi did not cost the imperial court a penny.
Among so many new policies, Zhu Youxiao is most concerned about the two things, one is money, and the other is the new army. In terms of money, in addition to the fact that the Imperial Bank is not profitable for the time being, Zhu Youxiao's Pon's scam has already provided Zhu Youxiao with tens of millions of taels of silver. In terms of the New Army, Zhu Youxiao was most concerned about the progress of the Mubang Campaign, which was the first touchstone of the New Army.
