Chapter 0491 Burning Tea and Banning Tea

Wang Chengen admired it very much, it seems that the emperor has done enough homework before summoning him! "Now that the emperor's rule over the Ming Dynasty has weakened, the tea and horse system of the whole country is out of control, your emperor, don't worry too much, there will be gains and losses, your plan to check in the Gyeonggi region is a success! Corrupt officials are killed, unconscious officials are dismissed! The officialdom of the entire Gyeonggi region is not only much clearer, but also very efficient. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled coldly, "Wang Chengen, don't think that my holy decree will have no effect now that it is out of the Jingshi, but I can still let these local factions know who the emperor is!" Tell me about the circulation channels of the private tea and horse market! ”

Wang Chengen was taken aback, and didn't know what the emperor was going to do, "The tea and horses of the Ming Dynasty were connected to each other, and there were various channels for officials and privates, so that tea, silk, cloth, paper, gold and silver from the mainland were continuously transported into Tibet, and Tibetan horses, horses, skins, medicinal materials, and bronze Buddhas were imported into the interior, which further communicated and strengthened the economic ties between Tibet and the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually formed an economic mutual compensation mechanism between the Tibetan and Han ethnic groups, thus promoting the unification of the Ming Dynasty and the economic and cultural development of Tibet and Mongolia. While satisfying the country's military needs, Yicha Yima has also become an important means to strengthen the control of ethnic minorities and consolidate border defense and stabilize the ruling strategy of ethnic minority areas. The Tea and Horse Exchange Market has not only promoted economic and cultural exchanges between the mainland and Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Tibet and other ethnic minority areas, but has also played a positive role in the social and economic development of ethnic minority areas. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "What you said is good, although my holy decree is out of Beizhili, it doesn't work very well now!" But I still have a way! Give me a purpose! Start today. Only tea is allowed in Beizhili and Zhejiang. Implement a tea monopoly system. Tea monopoly bureaus are set up in various places. It is also under the jurisdiction of the Daming Salt Tobacco Tea Horse Corporation, and the tea merchants who have not obtained the license of the Daming Salt Tobacco Tea Horse Corporation will be killed by the nine clans! All black tea, everyone can burn it all! Anyone who sells goods prohibited by the imperial court without permission will be regarded as traitors! It's not illegal to kill! Not only is it not a crime, but it is also meritorious, and the court awards are registered! Who dares to smuggle tea, horses, salt, herbs. Whoever eats the food, everyone gets it!

First of all, start from the source, start from the place of origin! Unified by the tea monopoly bureau with tea production qualifications to collect! Unified packaging, unified transportation, the origin is checked by the garrison, and the phenomenon of smuggling is eliminated!

Second, other non-tea-producing areas in the country are prohibited from planting tea! Once discovered, immediately raid the family and exterminate the clan!

Third, quotas should be imposed on the supply of domestic demand. Officials can buy one or two tea leaves a month, and the people need to spend a lot of money to buy them! Originally, ordinary people couldn't afford to eat. I don't think about drinking tea, it's the world's wealthy people who think about how to use tea to make huge profits, so that tea is more expensive than gold, the profit from acquisition is very low, and the risk of smuggling is extremely high! And it is far lower than the profit, the gains outweigh the losses, and the tea smuggling is fundamentally banned! The tea and horse trade was completely controlled by the imperial court, and the annual tax on the tea and horse trade increased from 1.2 million taels of silver to more than 5 million taels! And you can easily control the relationship between zhì and various Mongolian tribes! ”

The more Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen spoke, the more excited he became, and when he spoke, he kept waving his fists, although only Wang Chengen was present, but he seemed to be facing many opponents, fighting directly with the opponent in front of him!

Wang Chengen was shocked! The world is already in chaos, and you are adding fuel to the fire! All of a sudden, the central government's finances have come up, but the entire chain of interests in Daming has completely collapsed! You've taken away the benefits of that place! "Your Majesty, if the old slave says a capital crime, he takes away other people's wealth, and he cuts off his way of life! At this moment, you are pushing many world-rich families into the anti-people team at once! You have the ability to carry out the Gyeonggi region with a grand plan for the Gyeonggi region, but I don't have the ability to implement the Gyeongcha plan for other regions other than Beizhili! If the old slave's estimate is good, if you really do this, this spring, we will not be able to collect a grain of grain and national taxes, how will the Ming court continue? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to Wang Chengen, "I haven't finished talking yet, first give me the holy decree to finish the decree, and then say, the last sentence, the address of the Ming Dynasty and the Guanwai Tea and Horse Market, from Qinghai, Gansu, to Jimen, to Jimen, only Jimen can be marketed, and all the tea leaves outside Jimen will be burned by me!" Daming can not drink tea, can I see if Jiannu can be? Look at the Mongol tribes that are attached to Jiannu, can you!? ”

Wang Chengen knelt down in fright, "Your Majesty! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's green muscles burst out, and he glared and said, "Wang Chengen, you don't need to persuade again!" My mind is decided! I have the ability to solve the grain next spring, and the salaries of the officials of the Ming Dynasty within the scope of my control, including the huge military expenditure, I have the ability to solve it, you go and draw up the decree! In the future, the household department and the army will implement military management regulations, and the entire Ming Dynasty will enter a wartime state! The army is led by a qiē, the imperial party leads the army, I lead the imperial party, and I want to fully seize the control of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Wang Chengen knelt and crawled to the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, the old slave must be persuaded again even if he dies, it can't be like this!" The emperor is the emperor of the people of the world, not only the emperor of the area you control, this is forcing everyone in the world to accept it! After all, Beizhili is a small area, and the agricultural foundation is weak, only one million people, the entire Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 40 million, that forty-three, you don't want it? ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen calmly helped Wang Chengen up, "Who said I don't want it?" As long as Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department and Zhao Shujiao of Jimen can hold this spring, I will personally go to Nanzhili, I will make a big move, I will sneak attack Nanjing and Yangzhou from the sea, and regain the control of Nanzhili in the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop! ”

Wang Chengen knows that there is really no point in persuading again, the emperor's character, he knows very well that the emperor is not easy to make decisions, but once a decision is made, even if it is wrong, he will stick to the end! "Your Majesty, do you want to go as a prosecutor or as an emperor?"

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, "Zhan Xun Lou, I may kill a lot of people this time, and I may not even be able to bear the identity of the emperor at that time, with the identity of Jian Xun Lou, there is still a buffer." (To be continued......)
