Chapter 760: The issue of sharing spoils
(Continue to explode, I'm tired, I implore everyone to support the reward, hehe) Donglin's new policy of fooling Chongzhen to give tax exemption to businessmen really reduced the burden on those businessmen? In fact, no, the beneficiaries are only those merchants with deep backgrounds, and the small people are even more difficult, because, under the conditions at that time, the dynasty did not collect taxes, but all kinds of harsh taxes on merchants were endless, and where did these harsh taxes go? However, they have fattened the pockets of local officials and filled their private pockets, so even if the tax is reduced, in fact, the businessmen do not buy the accounts of the Donglins, so that the so-called good governance has not gotten a little benefit, but has made Donglin not a person inside and outside, and now Lu Hanqiang clearly proposed to levy the tax burden of the merchants, which of course makes people unable to turn around.
"My solution is to remove all harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and uniformly levy taxes according to 4% of the quantity of goods, and issue a tax list, and other places are not allowed to collect them, so that not only the merchants have not increased the burden, but should have reduced the burden, I think this policy will come out, the merchants will welcome it with both hands, and at this time everyone think about it, the market circulation of 100 million taels of silver, according to 4% calculation, how much tax will we get? A full four million taels, everyone, it's 4 million, isn't this more than the various taxes that everyone knocks on the bone and sucks the marrow and makes people complain? Of course, my four million taels of taxes are not all income from the governor of Liaodong, and to tell you the truth, everything I do is to make a fortune and benefit evenly, so don't be depressed, and don't be blushing, the four million taels, I distribute them in this way. ”
So, he pinched his fingers and counted the accounts with the hundred officials who had put down their hearts a little: "Thirty percent of the entire tax revenue will be set aside for the local government, as the local financial expenditure, the payment of personnel salaries and the distribution of welfare, what is this called?" This is called ********, if you take so much of my high salary and don't do things for me, or if you exploit the people and businessmen, then it is light for you to get out of the house immediately, let you try to see if my Lu Hanqiang's knife is sharp. As he spoke, Lu Hanqiang no longer had a harmless expression, and turned to a hideous expression: "I don't need anyone's approval to kill you, because I am the governor of Liaodong, and I have the sword of Shang Fang." ”
All the civil and military officials were immediately shocked, and they no longer dared to take it lightly in their hearts.
"At the same time, I will take out a layer and give it to Mr. Sun as a supplement to the military expenses of the Guanning Army, after all, the Guanning Army is not within the scope of my Liaodong Governor's financial expenditure, it is supported by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the State, I will take out one percent to Guan Ning as a subsidy, I think you should have no opinion, Lord Zu?"
Zu Dashou nodded excitedly at that time, "No opinion, no opinion." ”
Why did Zu Dashou repeatedly say that he had no opinion? is because what Lu Hanqiang said just now is indeed a fact.
The current financial expenditures of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, military salaries, money and food, are still caught in Chongzhen's hands.
According to Chongzhen's meaning, if you want to let the Guanning Iron Cavalry continue to be used by the imperial court and not fall to Lu Hanqiang, then it is quite crucial to seize the money and grain, of course, now after several cuts and transfers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the personnel have been reduced from the original 150,000 to 20,000, even if the Central Plains army is about to be transferred back, it is only 40,000 people, which is a real number, and Zu Dashou is no longer allowed to mix in the middle and eat empty quotas unscrupulously, especially, now the iron-faced and selfless Sun Chengzong is sitting in Shanhaiguan, Guan Ning Tieqi, who was staring at Zu Dashou tightly, once he found that there was a large area of empty quotas before, Sun Chengzong would speak, and here Sun Chengzong also had the confidence to speak, the reason is, first, I allowed you to smuggle, so that you made a lot of money, and made up for the loss of the empty amount of military salaries, second, there is Lu Hanqiang in front, I won't let you fight, for you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, I let you take money and food for nothing, so what else do you say? Third, you have become my confidant, Lu Hanqiang's military exploits have your share, and it is natural for you to be named a wife and a son in the future, if you don't fight, you still have military merits, and if you don't fight, you still have extra money, if you are consuming the country's money and food at this time, then you can only wait for the resignation of your official position and go home to retire, this fat shortage is all people are willing to do, including your internal generals in Guanning.
At the same time, the expenditure of these 40,000 people and 150,000 people is simply a world of difference, that is to say, the original Guanning Iron Cavalry costs 500 to 6 million silver money and food of the National Dynasty every year, and now as long as it uses 1 million, it can completely make the Guanning Iron Cavalry have no complaints, and now 1 million is not for Chongzhen, and his own internal money can be issued, because there is the trade income of Lin Dan Khan of Lu Hanqiang, the dividends of the Royal Foreign Commercial Bank, the dry shares of the famous newspapers, and the dividends of the Daming Bank, this million is in Chongzhen's eyes, It's not a big deal anymore.
And Zu Dashou got this million expenses, and he was already satisfied, if Lu Hanqiang allocated him another 10% every year, that is, 400,000 taels of silver, then this would be equivalent to falling directly into his own pocket, even if he gave Sun Chengzong's own benefactor 100,000, but this is pure profit, in the absence of war, he sat in the rear for no reason to enjoy Qingfu, and he could get 300,000 taels of silver for nothing, so what else to say? If you say that it is not greedy enough, when the time comes, with Lu Hanqiang's temperament, it is completely possible to turn his face with himself, at that time, he didn't say 300,000, even three taels of silver may not be able to get it, and the experience of setting up a card to collect donations is in front of him.
Lu Hanqiang's high-minded talk about going around and around turned to the distribution of spoils, but everyone expressed joy at such a distribution of spoils, because whether it is from the local government to the army, the entire Liaodong system, everyone has got the benefits they deserve, and according to the grand future drawn by Lu Hanqiang for everyone, this benefit is real and absolutely achievable.
Therefore, those who oppose it are no longer opposed, and they are secretly glad that this Lu Hanqiang became the governor of Liaodong, so that everyone has benefited, it seems that the legend of Lu Hanqiang's good money boy is definitely worthy of the name.
And Lu Hanqiang thinks that since he has made himself the governor, then he must cultivate his own strength, and the original group of people and horses naturally need not to say that other people must first appease and buy, and tie them to their chariots, as for some people who are not convinced of themselves and are unwilling to be bought by interests, then they will use various methods to let him go where they should go in the future, and definitely not put it here to make trouble for himself, not to mention adding chaos, that is, if he doesn't do things for himself here, he will find a way to kill him.
