Zhu Puzhao's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fists, and angrily reprimanded: "Misleading the country and misleading the people, you say that I am misleading the country and misleading the people, do you mean that I am a dumb king?!" ”

This sentence suddenly stopped the person who was going to help him speak out, this big hat can't be buckled on his head, and they all know what the emperor will do if he is a faint monarch, whether the emperor is a bright monarch or a faint monarch.

"This ...... Minister...... That's not what the minister meant...... "He was sweating profusely, his face was as pale as paper, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, and kept giving eyes to the people around him, but he didn't expect that no one stood up to help him.

"Smack!" Zhu Pu took the shot, and everyone trembled with fear on his hideous face, only to hear him angrily scold: "That's not what you mean? Can't you even see this when I'm a three-year-old child? As he spoke, he looked at the door and exclaimed, "Someone! Drag it down, pull it to the noon gate and behead the public! ”

Ye Huan was stunned, he didn't understand Brother Cheap's move, but he still stood in place and watched all this, whether this person died or not had anything to do with him.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Wronged! ......" The man was dragged out, and he kept begging for mercy during the period, and he was dragged out of the door, and after completely understanding that he was cold, he began to scold Zhu Puzhao, and the corners of Ye Huan's mouth twitched.

After the man was pulled down, Zhu Puzhao sat on the dragon chair and said with a cold face: "Ladies and gentlemen, who else wants to oppose this matter?" ”

Another old man stood up, Ye Huan looked at this person in surprise, there were still people who dared to stand up. It's just that Ye Huan saw this person as soon as he saw it, this person is a gentleman, and anyone with a bright eye can see it. I only heard the old man say: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is indeed reasonable, but I don't know how the prince collects the taxes of merchants?" I also asked the prince to solve the doubts for the ministers. ”

Zhu Puzhao nodded with satisfaction and said to Ye Huan: "Brother Huang, since Scholar Fu asked me about my doubts, since you can raise it, you will naturally be completely prepared." ”

Ye Huan said: "This is actually simple and simple, but difficult to say. The more money they make, the higher their taxes. Let's set a price, starting with five taels of silver, for example, this person only earns five taels of silver a month, and the tax is set at three out of one hundred. Earn ten taels of silver, four out of a hundred, five out of one hundred taels of silver, and so on until the net profit of ten draws is four. ”

"Since the merchants are taxed, their social status must also be improved, so that they will pay the tax willingly. For example, some business geniuses, the imperial court gave them an official position. ”

After that, Ye Huan spoke in detail according to the modern tax collection standards, and the ministers secretly spoke, only Zhu Puzhao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I came from the far west, where such a policy was adopted, so the court there was extremely wealthy, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, not only did they not have the trouble of heavy taxes, but they also had extra spare money."

Ye Huan looked at the ministers behind him with a smile and said: "Moreover, if there is more money in the treasury, the emperor can improve the income of the officials, although it is not as exaggerated as the Song Dynasty, but after eating and wearing warm and buying a big house, there will be a lot of surplus money left, which is certain." ”

"Yes, that's right." Zhu Puzhao on the dragon chair interjected.

Ye Huan's words made the eyes of the ministers shine. Don't look at all of them as high-ranking officials, but their salaries are pitiful, and they can barely support their families, so they can only get some extra gray income. In fact, many people don't want to do this, but they can't eat enough with a small income, which is something they can't do.

But if they follow Ye Huan's method and fill the treasury, they will not only be able to eat and clothe themselves, but also buy a big house! The worst thing is that even if you buy a big house, you will still have a lot of money left, and such a good thing can only be enjoyed in the history of the Song Dynasty.

This is not Ye Huan alone, the emperor personally agreed, the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Chrysostom and Yuyan, how can the order be changed every day? With a bright future, everyone began to look forward to it, and a large number of people agreed to this method in their hearts. Of course, there are still some people who are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they don't dare to show it, and just now someone jumped out to oppose it and was killed. They don't want to lose their lives.

"In addition, they are also vigorously developing maritime trade, doing business with other countries, and making huge price differences." Ye Huan said, clasping his fists towards Zhu Puzhao and said: "Your Majesty, my courtiers implore the emperor to open the sea ban, build a wharf and organize a fleet to bring a large number of Ming specialties, such as tea, silk and other things to earn gold from other countries." Those businessmen who are officials will be of great use here. ”

"The emperor can set up a royal chamber of commerce, find some people who can be trusted to join the royal chamber of commerce, and carry out trade for the emperor, and the income will naturally be from the inner treasury." As long as there is more and more money in the inner treasury, Ye Huan doesn't believe that these people will not agree, after all, all the money in the treasury is used for the state, and the money in the inner treasury is used for the emperor himself.

After Ye Huan finished speaking, Zhu Puzhao didn't wait for the ministers to speak, so he announced the dissolution of the dynasty and asked Ye Huan to go to the imperial study to continue discussing this matter.

After Ye Huan came to the imperial study, he saw that Brother Cheap was waiting for him for a long time, and there was no one else anyway, so Ye Huan asked, "Your Majesty, why did you kill that person just now?" ”

"I wanted to kill him for a long time, on the surface he was sanctimonious, but he was wantonly corrupt and bribed, according to reliable information, he has a net worth of millions." Zhu Puzhao smiled coldly and said, "And in this situation at that time, as long as I kill this person, in the hearts of the courtiers, I will once again be labeled as a faint king, so that I will be safe, and I can also make an example of chickens and monkeys." At the same time, it can make the ministers unable to oppose you, killing three birds with one stone. ”

Ye Huan was stunned for a while, worthy of being an emperor, his scheming was terrifying, he could come up with such a plan to kill three birds with one stone in this situation, it was awesome!

"Brother Huang, I don't have any manpower, ships and silver for maritime trade." Zhu Puzhao said worriedly, "Do you have a good idea?" ”

Ye Huan said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the fleet that followed the Three Treasure Eunuchs to the Western Ocean during the Yongle period?" Just fix it or renovate it. As for money, Wan Sanqian received the great favor of the emperor back then, and the emperor would also improve the social status of merchants, and the opening of the sea ban allowed him to earn more money legally, and he did not need to collect customs duties to cooperate with him, he should be very willing to help the emperor. With 13,000, didn't the money and manpower come? Just negotiate with him about dividends. ”

"Customs tariffs? What is that? "The ancients knew the terms of the new age.

Ye Huan explained: "It is also a kind of tax, if there are merchants who do maritime trade and buy a batch of goods from outside. For example, if the goods bought overseas for ten taels of silver can be sold for one hundred taels in Daming, then two percent of the difference in price of ninety taels and eighteen taels of silver must be taxed in full. ”

When Jupp heard this, his eyes radiated an incomparably dazzling light.
