Chapter 760: It's Beginning to Be Busy!
These cities are numerous, their forces are intertwined, and the land involved is very large, and it is very important to deal with the various industries under their names. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In addition, even if they are on the border of Shandong, Zhu Zilong is the governor of the five provinces, but he is not the emperor after all.
There has to be a saying!
He can't keep it to himself, he has to let some out. It is also necessary to win over officials and queens, otherwise, it will also be troublesome.
After several days of internal meetings, Zhu Zilong finally confiscated the property of the various treacherous and profiteers, and compiled the land into the field book, which was used as a place to arrange new military households and displaced people.
As for the silver taels, to be honest, this thing pulls modern times, except for reducing the international silver price, it does not have much effect.
Gold is a little bit better to say!
So, in terms of silver, soon, Zhu Zilong was divided into three points, one-third of which was confiscated and handed over to the queen, and one-third was used for the restoration of local people's livelihood, indirectly beating the local tyrants and dividing the property.
The last third, naturally, a small part of the officials of the DPRK and China were co-opted, and the rest belonged to Zhu Jiajun.
In ancient times, news transmission was slow, but Zhu Zilong's speed was extremely fast.
Before the official local recitals were submitted to the cabinet, he first sent the gift money to the hands of hundreds of officials in the court. Of course, the same is true for the Queen's side. And made some reasonable excuses!
So, a few more days passed.
When the news officially spread, the song folded and arrived in Beijing.
Although the officials were shocked, they had to shut up after receiving the money, and the soft-mouthed nature made many officials give up what to say.
Only a few officials remained, and strange bones who did not accept gifts, and officials of hostile forces calling out there.
Zhu Zilong's audacity and unscrupulousness make people very uncomfortable. It is difficult for some people to understand, and at the same time, they fight against scholars and merchants, which is rare in the world. But something real has happened!
However, Zhu Jiajun seems to be rude, but he is meticulous and searches for a large amount of criminal evidence in advance.
coupled with the power of silver, and the queen finally acquiesced to Zhu Zilong's behavior. In the end, this matter seems to be thunderous, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye will find that after a while, it is definitely the result of a small raindrop.
After all, the queen has long regarded Zhu Zilong as another Qi Jiguang, and he is an indispensable figure. It is impossible to punish him for this "small matter".
So, soon.
The queen ordered: "This matter, the cause of the Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas, should be settled by him." The division will hear the detailed work together and make a verdict after the conviction. Zhu Sihai, the commander of the Zhu family's army, made meritorious efforts to suppress and reward. ”
Yes, he killed someone, robbed his property, and began to collect taxes, and there were no penalties and rewards.
Of course, in the people, it is still under the arrangement of people with intentions.
What "tyranny", "no benevolent government" and many other remarks inevitably appeared on the heads of Zhu Jiajun and Zhu Zilong.
However, Zhu Zilong's newspaper in Nanjing, now that it has become bigger, has also begun to fight back, and it will not take long to wash his reputation. It's just a little longer!
Therefore, Zhu Zilong did not take these things to heart.
This is not the US imperialism of the Republic of China and later generations, and relying on public opinion alone will not be able to overthrow him.
Of course, Shandong merchants will not be the same as businessmen from other places. They and Zhu Zilong are on the same road, because the local big businessmen in the important places on the border of Shandong are dead, and they just make up for this vacancy.
So, under the actions of all parties and Zhu Jiajun.
This incident, which should have been earth-shattering, surprisingly suppressed most of the negative impact.
Big things are small, small things are small, and I believe it will be in the near future.
This incident came to an end.
……
On Zhu Zilong's side, he also began to start new rules on new places, trade taxes, and Shandong taxes.
"When Emperor Taizu Gao, he set up a tax bureau to draw some taxes, and take one out of thirty. When the emperor was revealed, the purchase price was less than 40 taels a year, and it was tax-free. Why don't we also collect according to this standard? Zhu Zilong's master team proposed after discussion.
Hearing this, Zhu Zilong touched his chin and thought.
In the Song Dynasty, the fiscal revenue was 10 times that of the Qing Dynasty, and even the Southern Song Dynasty, which was chased and beaten by the Mongols, had four times the income of the Qing Dynasty. Because the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in Chinese history that encouraged commerce, especially overseas trade, Chinese goods were sky-high overseas at that time.
However, the Ming Dynasty was still the same as other dynasties, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and the tax points of the Ming Dynasty were very low.
If the tax ratio is raised too much, it is obviously not conducive to the initial capital operation and the enthusiasm of the businessmen who take refuge in their own side.
(Note: Don't keep an eye on the silver, in addition to the silver, there are also grain and other income, as well as hidden income.) There are many other miscellaneous ones, and if they are added up to silver, there are tens of millions of taels. Otherwise, with only a few million taels of silver, the Ming Dynasty would have collapsed long ago. )
The tax rate of the Ming Dynasty was the lowest in history, forty taxes one, commercial taxes were thirty taxes one, and the Qin Dynasty was ten taxes six or eight!
Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong said: "In order to encourage the merchants, Benhou decided to continue to pursue the benevolent government of Emperor Xian, and the purchase price of less than forty taels a year is still tax-free, and not a cent of tax is levied. For the above, the commercial tax is 30 taxes and 1, of course, the canal freight is calculated separately! ”
So, after another day of agreement on the details, the new tax regulations were introduced.
After seeing the notice, the businessmen in Shandong all showed joyful expressions on their faces.
Of course, the merchants from other provinces were reluctant to do so. Compared with the fact that they didn't pay anything before, they have to pay money now, which is naturally not used to it.
However, if you are not used to it, everything will be fine, and the whole family will die if you are disobedient, or the whole family will go to jail.
Which one has a big loss, as long as you are not mentally retarded, you know how to distinguish between the severity.
In the face of reality and Zhu Jiajun's bayonets, they will accept their fate!
Thinking of this, they didn't dare to speak out against it, but just looked at each other with bitter faces. Take the money silently!
Soon, outside the store where the tax was paid, Zhu Jiajun posted a note.
"It is glorious to pay taxes according to the law, and it is shameful to evade taxes"!
In addition to the above, Zhu Zilong's harvest this time is far more than that.
The land is fundamental, and there are better things in some mountains. For example, he also decided the auction price of iron ore, coal and other mines that he seized from Haoqiang, and slowly contracted them to some Shandong businessmen. The mining fee is levied on them every year, and there is a preferential price for the contract, so the purchase is preferred!
In this way, manpower is saved, money is earned, taxes are collected, and favors are gained. Resources are also available!
It's so cool!
For a time, the whole of Shandong, as well as several provinces connected to Shandong, as well as the Grand Canal, began to be busy.
In addition, Zhu Zilong set up an official grain depot called the Daming Grain Bureau. Specially purchase surplus grain from the people, purchase it at the market price, and if there is a shortage of grain, it will be sold at a flat price to solve the high price of goods.
Wherever grain is sold here, high-yielding seeds can be purchased at a discounted price. Otherwise, it will be sold in limited quantities, and the price will be high!
Zhu Zilong, who came from later generations, knew that there was food in his hands and he didn't panic in his heart.
At the same time, it is vigorously advocated that the entire Shandong and the border, as well as the canal, pay taxes, you can first exchange the silver taels for Daming Shandong grain stamps and then hand them over, and you can get a nine-percent discount on the tax.
It is said that in the future, various types of tickets, cloth tickets, bean tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, and so on may be implemented.
