Chapter 100: Bold

Chapter 100 is bold

"Master Huang, the sound of the slave piano has been adjusted, I don't know which tune the master would like to listen to?" Xie Bingyu said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've been upset lately, so don't come to something miserable and desolate." Master Huang replied casually.

"Then the slave family sang a picturesque song, okay?" Xie Bingyu asked tentatively, but in his heart he was thinking about helping Zhu Zhenguo again.

"Yes!" Master Huang spoke like gold.

Xie Bingyu saw that this Huang master said yes, and between the slight movements of the piano sound, he sang Zhu Zhenguo's song "Fortune Operator? Lower Bay", with music that is also relaxing and soothing.

Master Huang closed his eyes slightly, and his brows, which were originally a little tight, gradually eased a little. This is also the reason why Master Huang came to this star picking tower when he was upset in recent years.

Music has the effect of influencing people's emotions, coupled with the extraordinary skills of this ice defrosting language and the light voice, which can always soothe the emotions of this old man Huang.

For Master Huang, this is the role of Ice Solving Language, which can be regarded as Master Huang's only entertainment in recent years. But beauty is the most unattractive to Master Huang, the most beautiful woman in the world, this Master Huang is as much as she wants.

"Solve everyone's skills, which are unparalleled in the world." Even if Master Huang praises him, it is a simple sentence.

"Thank you, Master Huang, for your appreciation." Xie Bingyu slowly got up and thanked Yingying.

Who wrote it? I've never heard of it before. Master Huang asked again.

"Back to Master Huang, this word was also made by that Dajiang Zhu Zhenguo." Xie Bingyu replied truthfully.

Zhu Zhenguo has been quietly watching the development of things in the room, and he also knows that it is not that this word has a soothing function, but that the singing of Xie Bingyu and soothing music have this function.

"Oh? This Zhu Zhenguo has a chance, and he must meet him. "Master Huang is really a little curious about Zhu Zhenguo in his heart.

Xie Bingyu is waiting for this sentence, Zhu Zhenguo is also a coincidence today, this Huang master can't come a few times a year, but he was bumped into by Zhu Zhenguo, since he has this opportunity, Xie Bingyu is also willing to contribute to Zhu Zhenguo.

"Master Huang, the opportunity is already there, this Zhu Zhenguo is far away in the sky." Xie Bingyu said with a smile on his face.

This old man Huang still didn't understand the meaning of this, looked up at Zhu Zhenguo, who had not cared about it before, and thought in his heart that he seemed to have heard this young man introduce himself before and said that it was Dajiang County or something, it turned out to be Zhu Zhenguo who had heard Xue Bingyu say it several times.

Zhu Zhenguo was looked at by this old man Huang's fierce gaze, and he felt uncomfortable.

"You are Zhu Zhenguo?" Master Huang looked at Zhu Zhenguo and saw that this young man was born with a lofty appearance, not an ordinary scholar.

"Student Dajiang County Zhu Zhenguo has seen Master Huang." Zhu Zhenguo got up and saluted, but he had guessed the identity of this old man Huang before, and knew that he should be respectful.

"Recently, not only have I heard from everyone about your poems, but the old man has just received a copy of Sun Sichao's examination papers, saying that this tax matter, but you also wrote it?" This Zhu Zhenguo's name has also appeared in front of Master Huang in other places recently, and it was Zhu Zhenguo's answer to the questionnaire when he was in the autumn that was transferred to Master Huang by Sun Sichao.

When Zhu Zhenguo heard the paper on taxation, he was stunned, this Lord Sun gave whose exam paper to whom, where would Zhu Zhenguo know, and hurriedly responded: "The student did a question about taxation before his head, but I don't know if it is the test paper that Master Huang said." ”

"I want to come here to open up the salt administration, first of all, talk about this county, how much salt can be sold in a year, and how much tax can be collected?" This old man Huang listened to Zhu Zhenguo's words, and he also knew that the tax policy transferred by Sun Sichao was written by the young man in front of him.

"Back to Master Huang, other county government students don't know the details, this Dajiang County salt affairs student knows something, all the official and private salt goods in Dajiang County can sell a total of 780,000 taels of silver in a year, even if it is one of the ten taxes, it can also collect 780,000 taels of silver salt tax." Zhu Zhenguo listened to the question, and he could only answer.

"Why is there so much discrepancy? Today, the salt tax paid by Dajiang County is less than 10,000 taels a year. "Master Huang was really shocked.

Zhu Zhenguo was even more shocked when he heard that this old man Huang could casually say how much the salt tax paid by Dajiang County in a year, and felt that this old man Huang was only afraid that he was a member of the household or a cabinet boss, otherwise it would be impossible to be so clear about this tax and come easily.

"Back to Master Huang, I privately think that there are two reasons, one is the flood of private salt, private salt is the first reason, the poor quality of official salt and the high price, resulting in the flood of private salt, which will inevitably lead to the omission of salt tax in the imperial court. The second is the corruption of officials, and the lack of control over the salt tax can be arbitrarily touched by the local government, as small as the salt collectors and the high-level county government. Zhu Zhenguo also knows that today's place is extremely private, and it doesn't matter if he casually talks about the crux of the problem that everyone knows.

"Is there a solution?" Master Huang listened to Zhu Zhenguo's words, and was also thinking in his heart, nodded and asked again.

"The countermeasures are written in the students' examination papers, but the countermeasures against the flood of illegal salt are simple, just open the salt administration, so that the salt goods are no longer governmental, and set up fixed salt markets in various places, which are under the jurisdiction of the salt administration department. As soon as there will be no more people who take risks to smuggle salt, all salt goods in the market will be under the jurisdiction of the government. Second, under the competition of merchants, the price of salt will also decrease, the quality will also increase, and the people will also benefit. It is an excellent strategy to receive a salt tax and benefit the people. Zhu Zhenguo said what he thought, and he also boasted about it.

"The method is good, but it still needs to be discussed, since ancient times, the salt government is to increase taxes, but I didn't expect that it will not be able to collect taxes now." Master Huang sighed.

In fact, the salt government is indeed a way to increase the country's income, but now in Dahua, the government's control is too poor, and it can no longer control the flood of private salt.

Even if it is liberalized, there are still many practical issues to be dealt with, one is who is qualified to sell salt, and the other is how to effectively manage the market. The first one is easy to say, and the second Zhu Zhenguo also came up with an idea, that is, to carry out a centralized salt market, and salt can only be sold in one place, so that the government can control it much more easily.

"What about official corruption?" After thinking about it, Old Man Huang felt that what Zhu Zhenguo said was still reasonable, but then asked.

Zhu Zhenguo is curious, what a high-ranking official he is, and he wants to talk about official corruption when he opens his mouth, but he is not the first assistant minister of the cabinet, but the first assistant is not surnamed Huang, but surnamed Zhu, Zhu Tingchang.

Zhu Zhenguo talked about it very well, and it was the first time in his life that he could have this opportunity to talk eloquently in front of a court bigwig, and said bluntly: "Students think that in troubled times, they should use heavy classics!" ”

As soon as Zhu Zhenguo's words came out, Master Huang's face changed greatly, his palm slapped on the table, and the tea cups on the table were shaken, and he said angrily: "Bold!" ”

Zhu Zhenguo was also taken aback, and he didn't know where he said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent, waiting to see what happened.

But Zhu Zhenguo doesn't know, where is this Huang Lao Man, what kind of household minister, cabinet bachelor, this Huang Lao Ye is Dahua Chengping Emperor Xia Zhen.

Zhu Zhenguo used the word "troubled times" to describe the current Dahua, isn't it bold, it's really bold!
