At this time, the Beijing Taxation Bureau has begun to take shape, with more than 200 employees, and the tax collection process has been gradually formalized, and the types of taxes have also begun to increase.

In particular, Zhu Youxiao's private visit to Weifu on this day, there was a large increase in the tax types of the tax bureau.

The tax on the entry of goods into the city, which is a large tax, and any goods that want to enter the city for sale must enter through the city gate. Previously, it was all levied 30%, but after Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the collection method has been changed.

Ordinary commodities related to people's livelihood are only charged one-tenth of the value when entering the city. Tea, wine, high-grade cloth, silk, tobacco, fur, antique jade and other things that ordinary people do not use, will be charged 30%~50% of the entry tax, which is actually a commodity tax.

If you really have to collect commodity tax from one family, it is more troublesome to count. And by controlling the entrance of the city gate, the commodity tax in the city can be collected.

The other is the business tax, which is charged by the competitors of the royal capital, as well as some shops that ordinary people will not care about.

"Your Majesty, this is the tax amount of the tax bureau in the capital last month, a total of 56,000 taels, and the profit of official salt is 65,000 taels, a total of 121,000 taels." The admiral eunuch of the tax bureau is none other than Zhang Yan, the admiral of the imperial horse supervisor. After buying a horse last time, Zhang Yan's task was to be a guard in the palace.

Because Zhang Yan was more reliable and had a relatively clean connection, Zhu Youxiao transferred him to the Taxation Bureau as a commander and eunuch, and also served as the commander of the imperial horse supervisor. However, on the side of the army, at this time, Zhu Youxiao was directly under the command, and the imperial horse supervisor was also responsible for raising horses at this time.

Compared with Li Jinzhong, Zhu Youxiao is more at ease with Zhang Yan. After all, Li Jinzhong was Li Xuanzhi's confidant in the past, although Li Xuanzhi has little power in the palace now, Li Jinzhong will no longer obey Li Xuanzhi's orders, but Zhu Youxiao has always been slightly defensive against Li Jinzhong.

Behind Li Xuanzhi, he has some connections with Concubine Zheng.

How did Zhu Changluo, the cheap old man, die, Zhu Youxiao still hasn't figured it out. Li Jinzhong said that he was killed by the Donglin Party, and Zhu Youxiao did not know much about the inside story. I only know that Zhu Changluo, the cheap Laozi, was actually supported by the Donglin Party, and after taking the position, he promoted a group of Donglin Party officials, which caused the problem that is still big now.

Before Zhu Changluo's death, Yang Lian, who was still a sesame petty official, dared to point at Zhu Changluo's nose and scold, obviously because Zhu Changluo was supported by the Donglin Party. So Zhu Changluo didn't care, but Yang Lian entered the core of power. However, in more than a dozen imperial meetings before Zhu Changluo's death, Yang Lian, who represented the Donglin Party, was excluded.

Maybe Zhu Changluo was killed by Zheng Guifei, or it is also possible that after Zhu Changluo took office, he did not fully meet the requirements of the Donglin Party, that is, he removed Fang Congzhe, but got close to Fang Congzhe, and was fooled by the Donglin Party into taking the red pill.

However, in general, it is more likely that the Donglin Party will kill Zhu Changluo.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is more inclined to cultivate eunuchs with a relatively innocent network, and Zhang Yan works hard, which can be regarded as of great use. At the same time, he still did not relax his vigilance in the palace, for fear that one day he would be tricked in a daze.

"Put all this money in the bank!" Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yan promised, and then said: "After the tax increases, the commercial tax in the capital will increase next month, and it is expected that it will not be less than 70,000 taels." ”

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with this, and it was more than 800,000 taels a year. In terms of official salt, the capital also has nearly 800,000 taels a year.

Just one city has a financial income of 1.6 million taels, if all the towns in the entire Ming Dynasty are doing this, how much silver will there be?

"The tax bureau will immediately pay attention to personnel training, and by the end of the year, I will cover the entire Beizhili in the tax bureau." Zhu Youxiao decided excitedly, "I will let Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Jingying fully cooperate with you." ”

When the finances are improved, we can mobilize forces to destroy the wild boar skins first. When the time comes, the troops will be transferred, the centralization of power will be strengthened, and all the threats will be killed, and then you will be able to enjoy the emperor's career comfortably. Like now, the invisible threat made him very uneasy.

"The slave and maid will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations." Zhang Yan replied firmly, and then said goodbye to the emperor, and when Zhang Yan walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Jinzhong happened to come in.

Li Jinzhong saw Zhang Yan, a smile appeared on his face, both sides nodded, and the two passed by. Then the smile on Li Jinzhong's face suddenly disappeared, and there was a look of vigilance in his eyes.

Of them, the ministers, who has the most power, the actual mountain depends on who the emperor is closer to. In this palace, Zhang Yan is a confidant promoted by the emperor himself, unlike Li Jinzhong, who was originally a confidant of Li Xuanzhi.

However, the emperor played the art of weighing and did not let any eunuch be in charge alone, so although Li Jinzhong was a little wary of Zhang Yan, he would not pose a strict threat to him, and could only be regarded as a potential threat.

The emperor is not easy to fool, this is Li Jinzhong's biggest feeling after the emperor ascended the throne, if you want to gain the emperor's trust, you have to work hard.

"Your Majesty, great joy!" Li Jinzhong walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Where does the joy come from?" Zhu Youxiao raised his head and asked, and Li Jinzhong said: "The Nanjing coinage case has already been decided, and twelve Donglin parties were moved out at once, and 300,000 taels were embezzled just for coinage. Now Dongchang and Jinyiwei are arresting the relatives of these criminals and confiscating their assets. It is estimated that it is not difficult to raid a million taels. ”

"So much?" Zhu Youxiao was surprised.

"Your Majesty, this coinage case is indeed a big case. But they are not huge greed, after some investigation, Dongchang found that Li Sancai of the Donglin Party is probably a huge greed, once the imperial history Liu Guangfu impeached him for stealing the emperor's wood to build a private to 220,000 strange. I am afraid that the family assets will not be less than three million taels. Li Jinzhong said, which shocked Zhu Youxiao even more.

"Is the information reliable?" Zhu Youxiao calmed down and asked seriously.

"The news is reliable, this Li San is Gu Xiancheng's number one confidant, after Gu Xiancheng's death, he is the oldest qualified person in the Donglin Party, and Zhishi holds a feast at home every day, and he is full of friends every day. There are more than 300 domestic slaves alone, and their mansion is a garden of more than 200 acres, which is extremely luxurious. Li Jinzhong said, looked at the emperor's face, and asked, "I just don't know if I can be arrested?" ”

"Let me think about it." Zhu Youxiao frowned and thought about it, a few months ago when Shenyang fell, the Donglin Party recommended that Li Sancai go to Liaodong. However, it was opposed by the Qichu Zhejiang Xuan Party and gave up, obviously this is likely to be Li Sancai's desire to go to Liaodong to collect a scrape, after all, the annual Liaodong military salary frequently exceeds five million taels, of which oil and water can be imagined.

Although this guy does not serve in the DPRK, he controls the Donglin Party behind the scenes, and it is likely that Li Sancai is the mastermind behind the Donglin Party's several coups.

Gu Xiancheng, who established Donglin Academy, is obviously undoubtedly the source of the Donglin Party's crimes, and is a veritable 'reactionary', so Li Sancai, who is Gu Xiancheng's number one confidant, must also be a reactionary. If it had not been for the planning of the reactionaries, it would have been impossible for the brainwashed Donglin Party officials to carry out a palace coup. After Gu Xiancheng's death, it was absolutely impossible for such a major event as a palace coup to bypass Li Sancai, the number one reactionary.

To catch or not to catch?

If you don't catch it, you may still have a trick behind the scenes. However, if he is caught, other reactionaries of the Donglin Party will naturally take Li Sancai's place.

"Damn, what do you want to do so much! As long as Li Sancai is copied, the finances of the imperial court will be stable this year! Zhu Youxiao's mind changed, and he immediately straightened it out, what does it matter if someone is behind the scenes, silver is the most important thing. After half a ring, Zhu Youxiao resolutely ordered Li Jinzhong: "Arrest!" ”
