Section 372 It is a felony to block the way of one's wealth
Jin Lian is reporting, and the report is very detailed, even counting the interest rate difference and the gold-silver ratio difference.
That is to say, Bai Minghe actually squeezed out more than 2 million taels of silver in a month from the four ports of Wajima, in addition to taxes, and then to the stupid method of exchanging gold for silver in the Ming Dynasty.
This also made the gold-silver ratio of Wajima begin to rise, and it is estimated that it may reach the same gold-silver ratio as the Ming Dynasty in less than a year.
At the end, Jin Lian came again: "Long live, Xiao Rong of the Nanjing Household Department asked for instructions, hoping to recruit another 800 officials." Each of the four ports of Wajima also needs at least 70 officials, and if he doesn't let the new officials learn to do things now, if there are other ports that need to be stationed in the future, he is afraid that he will not be able to cope with it! ”
Zhu Qiyu laughed.
This has just occupied the four ports of Wajima, and you Xiao Rong is planning to train special tax collectors for the future port.
It's ambitious.
Yang Ning thought for a while and sighed: "Long live, the minister takes back the book just now!" ”
"Then take it back!" Zhu Qiyu didn't object, all the big officials understood that the benefits of these four ports were too great, and when Bai Minghe snatched the export tariffs of the Japanese country into his pocket, the awareness of this tariff was not understood by the Japanese people, they were also collecting taxes, but they were collecting transaction taxes from merchants, which had nothing to do with tariffs.
Yang Ning originally wanted to impeach Bai Minghe's bandit style.
But he didn't dare right now.
Because he is not blocking the white crane's financial route, the actual tariff alone is tens of millions of silver a year. With the development of the silk industry in Wajima, this number will definitely double, and he dare not stop this huge wealth. If he really insisted on returning these four ports to Wadao, he would be the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.
"Long live, the minister has the capital." Jiang Yuan was not on the notebook, but on several large boxes.
"Hooray. These are the maps from the capital to Tianjin, and the minister has already sent someone to measure it. You can build one straight road and two water roads. One of the waterways goes around Hebei, which can also be of great help to Hebei's steel operation. Plan ......" Jiang Yuan hesitated a little, and after taking a deep breath, he said very firmly: "The plan is to use seven million taels of silver." A total of 56 million workers are needed. ”
Da Ming arithmetic. One person is one job a day, and 56 million workers are 100,000 people working hard for a year and a half.
"Accurate!" Zhu Qiyu didn't even look at the map carefully, he knew that a road was very important. At present, the road from Tianjin Wei to the capital is too poor, so that many fresh seafood cannot be transported to the capital.
Jin Lian took a step forward: "Long live, the household department can't take out so much silver, just let Hai Si make up half of it." ”
"Decree that Hai Si will pay this money. In this way, the white crane was told that the ore of Goryeo could not be transported to Hebei. Hebei's steel can't be shipped. The consumption of manpower is so great that even the price of horses has increased. Therefore, the construction of this river is for overseas trade, and the construction of the straight road from Tianjin Wei to the capital is for me. Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "One more thing to add, let him go out of the renovation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Ministry of Industry will take out a document!" ”
"Yes!" The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry came out together to respond.
This is what it feels like to be an emperor and guide the country, not like when I was just sitting as an emperor. Everything needs to be seen on the faces of the ministers.
"Hooray!" Wang Wen stood up.
"Long live the minister, long live the minister's request. Move the Nanjing stock market to the capital. The capital is the center of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I have asked Bai Minghe in a letter about this matter, and Bai Minghe has also explained. I don't think it's possible, the stock market is not mature at the moment, this is also the idle silver in the hands of the people is investing for the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy for the people to save that bit of silver. Although the stock market also has profits and losses, it cannot withstand big storms. ”
"Hooray, the minister thought, I could let some shares be issued in the capital. For example, the Ise Copper Mine. ”
"This may be okay, leave this matter to the household department!" Jin Lian doesn't understand stocks. However, they knew that some officials had already asked their families to buy stocks in Nanjing, and invested the money they had saved for their pensions.
Yang Ning sighed again, reached out and touched the notebook he had prepared.
Zhu Qiyu saw this small action and asked with a smile: "Yang Aiqing is afraid that she has prepared a lot of scripts, but why did she give up." I'm just curious, can I let Lian know. ”
"Hooray!" Yang Ning hurriedly took two steps forward.
Zhu Qiyu was also purely playful, he probably guessed what Yang Ning was preparing, but he wanted Yang Ning to tell it.
"Long live, the minister still has two copies, one for the stock market. The original content of the minister's impeachment was that Bai Minghe resold the public weapon, which was the first sin. The second sin is that Bai Minghe used the stock market to get more than 100 million taels of silver from the people, and almost all of this huge amount of silver was invested outside the Ming Dynasty. The third crime is that Bai Minghe set up a private court, and the Daming Law does not have laws on private capital, but Bai Minghe has issued dozens of laws such as the Voting Management Law, the Investment Control Law, and the Private Lending Law, and the minister thinks that this is at fault. ”
"Reasonable, reasonable!"
Hearing that Zhu Qiyu supported him, Yang Ning didn't think he was really reasonable.
At that moment, Yang Ning continued: "Kechen thought about it again just now, the people can get at least five taels and a maximum of fifteen taels of silver a year if they invest one hundred taels of silver, which is better for the people than burying the silver at home." Investing overseas can also receive huge profits for the Ming Dynasty, and there are no rules and no rules, and it is correct to have a rule for everything. ”
Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded, Yang Ning's words are in the simplest way that Yang Ning understands in his heart that his impeachments are blocking people's money.
He blocked the official income of the Ming Dynasty and the income of the people, so he took back the book.
"Yang Aiqing, you are not wrong about one thing. The cabinet drafted a decree to reprimand the white crane. The law is a rule, a rule for caring for the people, and a standard for the people to do things. No decree shall be promulgated lightly, although the law he promulgates is due to the needs of the time, but there is a disregard for the court, the criminal department is responsible for reviewing all the decrees, if there is a mistake should be corrected, such as good should be followed. ”
"Long live the wise!"
It's not a big or small point, and it can't even be regarded as a criticism, but it can be regarded as giving Yang Ning a face.
Yang Ning thanked him and then said, "Long live, the minister still has a copy." The minister is bold, what level of yamen is Hai Si? ”
This question is really good to ask, Hai Si is too powerful at the moment, but the real personnel of Hai Si are only Bai Minghe alone, and Yang Ning is not wrong to ask about this matter.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and didn't speak immediately, because he understood that no matter what he said, it was inappropriate.
"Discussion of the Secretaries!" Zhu Qiyu threw the topic back.
Jiang Yuan said: "Long live, this matter should be discussed, and it must be discussed." It's just that the minister thinks that it is okay to wait for the military department to return to Beijing to discuss it again, and Yu Yu will deal with the follow-up matters of the treaty between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese State in Wadao at the moment. Lord Yu's opinion is very important, Lord Yu has been to the South Seas, and the matter of Wajima is also watching the whole process. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" Chen Xun also thinks that this matter is better for Yu Qian.
If you change someone, I'm afraid that the white crane will be unconvinced, and it may not be a good thing to have trouble.
Yu Qian actually thought about this matter, Yu Qian knew more about the affairs of the country than anyone in the entire court, and Yu Qian also knew many unknown secrets, and some very secret things Bai Minghe did not hide from Yu Qian, so Yu Qian was really the most qualified person to speak.
At this time, Yu Qian was in the port of Cheongju in the Wa Kingdom.
The Oda family grew in power, and their family did not have a gold mine, but they did have a port. This Cheongju port can definitely be said to be the territory of their Oda family, and the customs duties here are collected by the white cranes, but if you want to enter Cheongju, you have to pay a toll, and it is foreseeable that in the future, a large number of merchants will be supported in Cheongju, which will make the Oda family rich.
What kind of character is Yu Qian, in the Ming Dynasty, he is a hero who protects the country, and in the eyes of a big family like the Wajima Oda clan, he is the top nobleman in the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Qian pointed to the map of Wajima and gave the Oda family a defensive line.
"You Oda families have a weak foundation, and you are not trained elite soldiers, and war is not decided by numbers. Your wealth will be jealous of other daimyos, and in this chaos, you have also made a lot of enemies, although you can help each other with the Takeda family, but the Takeda family itself has a lot of trouble. ”
"Hello!" The head of the Oda family is convinced.
Yu Qian was teaching them to use the least number of troops to make the most perfect defense, first developing the territory and then slowly expanding.
"Feeding a thousand-strong musket corps would cost ten times as much as your original infantry spear corps. But the strategic value of the musket, a well-trained gunner, a thousand people can easily defeat 10,000 infantry. This is the role of superior weapons, a musket team of 1,000 people, if you need at least 2,000 or even 3,000 people, even if the enemy army is 20,000 infantry, you can win completely. However, the cost is very high, and the expenditure of a musketeer requires the income of your thirteen acres of land. ”
"Honorable lord, you only need one acre of mulberry garden!"
The Oda family was clearly tempted by the Kuwata plan.
They don't need to invest, they don't need to think about how difficult it is to raise silkworms, they just need to get out of the land and the farmers. The people of the Ming Dynasty invest here, and in the end they can divide the account into three or seven, and they can get seventy percent of the income, these farmers give one achievement is not less, and it is very rich to give two achievements.
Moreover, the Ming side used rice and various materials to settle the bill, and these materials could be sold to other daimyos.
"Okay, the musket you need will be sent by the officer. The detailed contract will also be arranged by the official, who has been here for many days, and will be ready to return to the capital tomorrow. "Yu Qian's purpose here has been achieved, this will be an important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Qian naturally wants to come to check it out in person.
Even the fortification and planning of the concession were set by Yu Qian himself.
As soon as he heard that Yu Qian was leaving, the head of the Oda family said that he was unwilling to say anything, and repeatedly begged Yu Qian to come here only for official business, he had not fulfilled the landlord's suitability, and he must ask Yu Qian to relax for a few more days in various scenic places.
There is no strict schedule in this era of Daming, and Yu Qian can't bear to refuse.
In the next few days, Yu Qian was definitely treated at the level of the Oda family entertaining the emperor. (To be continued......)
