Yang Gengai saw that Sun and Xu were both in favor of the tax on Jiatian, and also persuaded others, so he was ready to settle the matter.

According to what Master Xu said, part of the grain and disaster relief grain will be transported by sea, and the disaster relief grain from Shaanxi will take the canal, go directly to Kaifeng through the Yellow River, and then arrive in Xi'an. In this matter, Master Xu will draw up a specific detailed rules and plan, and then implement it concretely. ”

Yang Reform added another task to Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi said: "The minister obeys the order." May I ask Your Majesty, how should the issue of tax exemption in the north be carried out? And His Majesty's promotion of sweet potatoes, how should it be carried out? ”

The question Xu Guangqi said made Yang Reform, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, a headache again. The issue of promoting sweet potatoes was previously agreed to be taxed on the color of sweet potatoes, but now that these taxes are exempted, how can sweet potatoes be promoted? Yang Reform can look forward to this sweet potato to save the life of the Ming Dynasty!

Yang Gengai wiped his forehead and said, "Does Master Xu have a countermeasure to this matter?" Yang Reform had a headache, and directly threw the problem to Xu Guangqi, presumably, Xu Guangqi would have a way.

Xu Guangqi did not disappoint Chongzhen Yang's reform, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this tax exemption and folded sweet potatoes, there is no contradiction in promoting sweet potatoes, I think that this year's drought will happen, and sweet potatoes cannot be promoted this year, so this year's tax can be exempted, and sweet potatoes have nothing to do; In the second year of the next year, it can be stipulated that those who plant more than 5 or 70 percent of the sweet potatoes per acre can be exempted from taxes. It can be stipulated that one or two percent of them can be recovered per mu, or three or four percent, and these sweet potatoes can be turned into cash for the use of the people. ”

Xu Guangqi's words made things that Yang Reform thought were very complicated to be organized. In internal affairs, Xu Guangqi is really a good hand. Yang Reform was very happy, fortunately he got Xu Guangqi over in advance, otherwise, these problems and dealing methods, Yang Reform would have a headache and died. Although he still has Sun Chengzong by his side and has made certain achievements in internal affairs, Sun Chengzong has more energy focused on military affairs.

Military indecision asked Sun Chengzong; The internal affairs are indecisive, and Xu Guangqi is asked. Yang Reform suddenly had such an insight. Perhaps, these are the two "angels" sent by God to see that he is working too hard. The Ming Dynasty is sliding into the abyss step by step, and God has not completely abandoned himself, and heaven is also very close to him.

Yang Gai's mood became quite good, and he said loudly: "In this matter, according to what Master Xu said, the northern tax exemption, the promotion of sweet potatoes, and the folding of taxes will be merged, and they will be handed over to Master Xu to be responsible, and Master Xu will draw up a specific detailed plan, and then organize the implementation." ”

Yang Gengai wisely threw this thing to Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi said: "Obey, Your Majesty, the minister also asks, Your Majesty is exempt from taxes in the north, which provinces are specific?" Or is it a place in Shaanxi? ”

This is simple, Yang reformed: "This northern tax exemption,...... The whole territory of Shaanxi, the northern part of Henan, the whole territory of Gansu, and the western part of Shanxi, the scope is set so much for the time being. Disaster relief, mainly in Shaanxi, especially in northern Shaanxi, is said to be even poorer, and Master Xu should pay special attention. Yang Gengai recalled the scope of the peasant war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of which were in these places, so he set these places to be exempt from taxes, and as for disaster relief, he mentioned the northern part of Shaanxi, which was the place where the uprising broke out.

This small-scale staff department is really more efficient in discussing things than in the court, many things can be said directly, and the opinions put forward are more reliable, and Yang Reform began to like this kind of small-scale handling of political affairs.

Yang Gai was about to end this discussion, but saw that Xu Guangqi wanted to say something and stopped. Seeing that Xu Guangqi was embarrassed, Yang Gengai wondered, "Master Xu, is there anything else?" ”

Xu Guangqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Yang is surprised, what else is there that even Xu Guangqi, the emperor, is afraid of? Said: "Master Xu, if there is anything to say, I am the Son of Heaven, I will be the master of Master Xu, what can't I say?" Is there anyone else who coerces you not to do it? "If someone coerces the emperor, then this tone, Yang Reform must be given to Xu Guangqi. Damn, on the emperor's head.

Xu Guangqi was very hesitant and embarrassed, and finally said: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to disaster relief, and the minister has a strategy, which can make Your Majesty not spend much money and grain, and can transport a large amount of grain to Shaanxi." ”

Yang Reform was very surprised, what else can be done to let the grain go to Shaanxi by itself? I was also puzzled: "Master Xu, what is the strategy?" ”

Xu Guangqi said with a very embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, although this matter is feasible, but ......" Xu Guangqi said half of it, and then didn't say it, which made Yang Reform feel strange, what kind of power made Xu Guangqi so careful?

"Master Xu just said, if there is anything I can do to support you." Yang Reform had no choice but to cheer Xu Guangqi up.

"Your Majesty, the minister would like to ask for the reopening of the Chinese and French Laws." Xu Guangqi spit out these words.

"Reopen the middle of the law?" Yang Reform wondered, what is this opening of the Chinese law?

"Yes, Your Majesty, please reopen the Chinese law." Xu Guangqi said very firmly, judging the two of them with the hesitation just now.

Yang Gengai asked weakly: "Master Xu, what is the opening of the Chinese law?" "Open the Chinese law, this thing, Yang Reform is inexplicable, I don't know what it means.

Xu Guangqi explained: "Your Majesty, the Kaizhong Law refers to encouraging merchants to transport grain to the border in exchange for salt, and then the traders use the salt to exchange for salt in the salt field to sell, which is Kaizhong. ”

I rely on, this trick, Yang Reform has to admire, in this way, the border grain supply, Shaanxi disaster relief, does not cost anything at all, Yang Reform remembers very clearly, a big weapon of the traverser, is to dry salt, this large-scale salt making technology, really how much salt how much salt there is! This is simply tailor-made for the traverser!

Yang was very excited and said, "This trick that Master Xu thought of is very fresh!" Strange Chess! In this way, disaster relief can be effectively provided at almost no cost. Thinking that the merchant will definitely transport grain to the border pass and disaster area for the sake of salt, he will naturally find a way to solve the problem of transportation consumption, which is much stronger than the imperial court itself organizing transportation for disaster relief! Good strategy, good strategy......" Yang Reform constantly praised Xu Guangqi's method as good.

Xu Guangqi corrected: "Your Majesty, the opening of the Chinese law is not a strategy that the ministers came up with, it has existed in ancient times, and our dynasty has also practiced it for many years, but in recent years, this system has been corrupted,......

It's been there for a long time? This, Yang Reform realized that the ancients were also very smart, and it was too smart to come up with this method to solve the problem of transporting grain in the frontier, who said that only modern people are smart? Look at the method that the ancients came up with, it is really high.

"Uh~~ Is that so? Then Master Xu explained to me the origin of this opening of the Chinese Method, and how it was implemented before? "Yang Reform suddenly became interested in this method of opening the middle of the law, this is a weapon for disaster relief! Coupled with the large-scale salt drying technology of this traverser, this is almost invincible!

"Your Majesty, this opening of the Chinese law follows the system of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and our dynasty has opened more of the central to the frontier to solve the problem of grain transportation in the frontier. The law is divided into three steps: reporting, guarding the branch, and changing the market, and the newspaper is that the salt merchants in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, transport the grain to the granary in the designated border area, and exchange it for salt to the imperial court; Shouzhi means that after the salt merchant exchanges the salt lead, he leads the salt to the designated salt field to wait for the salt; Shiyi is a salt merchant who transports the obtained salt to a designated area for sale, which is the Kaizhong method. ”

Yang Reform was shocked! How similar is this to what outsourcing and OEM emphasized by future generations? The imperial court used a salt in exchange for the merchant to transport the grain to the border pass, among them, the merchant will naturally try his best to reduce consumption, more transport grain, this is better than organizing their own transportation, I don't know how much money is saved, how much cost is saved, this ancient people, is not pedantic!

"How's that going?" Yang Gai's mood is agitated, if you want to have this method, you are still afraid of a bird's famine! As long as the United States works hard to print money like the United States in later generations, there will be money to spend, and now, as long as you print salt hard, you will automatically have food to Shaanxi!

"Back to Your Majesty, this method has an excellent effect, in the early years, it can solve the problem of transporting grain at the border pass, and even some businessmen buy land and land at the border pass, hire people to farm and collect grain nearby, and open it nearby, called Shangtun, want to pass the border, and it has been booming." Xu Guangqi seems to have worked this internal affairs, and he is also quite familiar with this salt policy!

No way~! Yang Reform shouted in his heart, who said that the Chinese are lying in the nest? Who said that the Chinese are small-scale peasant consciousness, have serious land defense situations, and do not know how to make progress and pursue profits? In order to make profits, they dare to hire people at the border to tuntian, this, the surname of profit, is also quite strong, why hasn't it been implemented? If this is the case, we have been implementing this method of opening up China, and pushing the border outward year by year, and this businessman is close to Tuntian, and it is not that he will push it there if he wants to. It won't take many years to break out of Asia! Thinking about the Ming Dynasty, it has been 200 years, why hasn't the border been moved?

"Then why did it stop again?" Yang Reform is very regrettable, why is this law not implemented all the time, if it is implemented, this Asia will already be China's Asia.

"Back to Your Majesty, the system gradually deteriorated, and it was difficult to receive practical results, so it was gradually abandoned, and the Shangtun in this pass was also abandoned. Therefore, in recent years, the food here has often become nervous. ”

Yang Reform's fist smashed his palm, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, such a good method has been wasted, if it is not wasted, not to mention bulldozing the wild boar skin, defending against the likes of wild boar skin, it is as easy as a hand! There is no shortage of food at the border gates, and there is no need to worry about food and wages, and this combat effectiveness is still guaranteed. It's a pity that such a good method is gone. I don't know if it's those pig-like teammates who have scooped this "good law" like this.

is not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, Yang Reform has a clear understanding of this sentence.

[Ugh! into V. Hehe, you can actually vote for a monthly ticket. Very curious! 】;
