Zhao Lin looked at the system's display.

"This?!"

Zhao Lin was taken aback.

Li Taibai is actually a six-grade great master?

More powerful than Xiongba, Flame Spirit Ji.

Are you kidding?

Is this still the poet Li Bai he is familiar with?

Maybe it is, maybe not?

Zhao Lin shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

When this Li Taibai comes, won't you know?

Zhao Lin was quickly relieved.

Which of the characters summoned from the system is normal?

If it's just a Li Bai who can recite poetry, what use does Zhao Lin want him to do?

【Ding!】

【System Prompt...】

[Li Taibai will be here in three days. 】

In Zhao Lin's ears, the cold prompt sound of the system sounded again.

Zhao Lin's face was calm and he didn't feel any surprise.

"Li Taibai, the ...... of the Six-Rank Grand Master"

Zhao Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of essence.

According to his idea, after Li Taibai arrived, Zhao Lin planned to send him to the Tianxia Association to solve the urgent needs of the Tianxia Society.

Three days, it should be in time.

......

Following.

Jinluan Palace, early dynasty.

The civil and military officials entered the hall in turn.

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

As soon as the court opened, the head of the household department walked out with a happy face, bowed to Zhao Lin and said: "Your Majesty, since the establishment of the customs, the tariffs have skyrocketed every month, and in just a few months, the city has collected a tax of 30 million taels of silver and handed it over to the treasury. ”

30 million taels of silver?!

At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback.

How long did the Great Song Dynasty take to turn it on?

In just three or four months.

It didn't even take a third of the year to collect 30 million taels of silver?

The ability to tax is terrifying!

If it were a whole year, wouldn't it be very likely to reach 100 million taels?

This customs tax alone is comparable to the annual land tax and household registration tax of the Great Song Dynasty?

Seeing the shocked look on the faces of the civil and military officials, Tobe Shangshu felt very useful.

When he first learned about this, he was also shocked to the extreme.

In just three or four months, there were 30 million taels of silver, which was a figure that Hubu Shangshu could not even imagine.

In his estimate, two or three million taels of silver was enough to exaggerate, but the actual tax collected was more than ten times that amount!

However, Zhao Lin on the throne only nodded with satisfaction, and there was not too much surprise on his face.

Land tax and household registration tax are mainly levied on landlords and ordinary people.

As for customs taxation, the object of taxation is domestic and foreign merchants.

Where is the wealth of the merchants that can be compared with the landlords and commoners?

In the past, the Great Song Dynasty did not set up customs, and the business at sea was basically taken care of by merchants and pirates.

However, after the Great Song Dynasty set up the city and customs, it was equivalent to taking this maritime business back to the state.

How much profit there is in this, Zhao Lin has long been mentally prepared.

"Let the city continue to strengthen management, strictly supervise trade between merchants, and crack down on smuggling. ”

"On the other hand, let the military department cooperate and send a naval army to the sea to sweep away pirates who disrupt overseas trade and maintain maritime security. ”

"By the end of the year, we will strive to make this year's customs tariff reach the target of 150 million taels. ”

Zhao Lin said lightly.

150 million taels!

Tobe Shangshu's heart suddenly.

Your Majesty really dares to think about it.

However, as His Majesty said, there is indeed a lot of room for improvement in today's customs tariffs.

In maritime trade, there are still many cases of smuggling secretly, and as long as these smugglings are all eliminated, the amount of customs taxes can be increased several times.

The ministers in the court were already dumbfounded.

When the Tobe Shangshu proposed the switch, they still had many doubts in their hearts.

For fear that the opening of the sea will cause trouble, not only will it not have any effect, but will attract a lot of trouble.

Now it seems that they are simply a rat in the eye!

For a moment, most of the officials above the court looked at the Hubu Shangshu, and a trace of admiration appeared in their eyes.

Hubu Shangshu, meritorious service to the country!

And it's a great achievement!

And then the Tobe Shangshu did not swell because of this.

He knew very well that the idea of opening the port and setting up a customs office was not his first idea, but was first proposed by His Majesty!

He is still a book, at best, just an implementer.

For the establishment of the customs, he has always had the mentality of trying it out, and he does not think that it will be successful!

It's Your Majesty!

Your Majesty has always been firm in foreign trade!

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

Tobe Shangshu only had this sentence in his heart.

The opening of the port and the establishment of customs were so successful that Hubu Shangshu was full of confidence in the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

As a secretary of the household department, he naturally knows how important wealth is to a country.

If the wealth is sufficient, there is nothing that the imperial court cannot do!

"My Great Song Dynasty has such a Ming monarch, why can't I conquer the four seas and sweep the world?"

Hubu Shangshu was looking forward to it, as if he had seen the scene of the Great Song Dynasty under the leadership of Zhao Lin, the eight directions surrendered, and all the countries came to congratulate.

"The book of the military department. ”

Zhao Lin's gaze fell on the body of the military department Shangshu again, "How is the conscription going?"

When the secretary of the military department heard this, he immediately went out of the ranks, and his expression was grim, "Your Majesty, after the military department's conscription order was issued, young and middle-aged people have been recruited nationwide. ”

"Now that the Song Dynasty is rich and strong, the mood of young people in various places to enlist in the army is unprecedentedly high, and in a short period of time, 300,000 new recruits have been recruited, all of whom have been included in the barracks and practiced day and night. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Lin frowned slightly.

Obviously, I was not very satisfied with the speed of recruitment of the military department.

"It is my will that one soldier shall be conscripted into each household, and the whole family shall be exempted from servitude. ”

Zhao Lin ordered to the secretary of the military department: "If more than two soldiers are conscripted, the household tax of the whole family will be exempted!"

"The rank of lieutenant general in the army, the rank and rank, and the status are the same as those of Wenchen!"

"And after the soldier is discharged, the imperial court will give generous subsidies every year according to the soldier's rank!"

As soon as Zhao Lin's words came out, the military department Shangshu couldn't help but be shocked.

He could expect that once His Majesty's will was issued, I am afraid that all the young adults in the world would enthusiastically join the army!

The speed of conscription in the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be greatly improved.

Because the treatment conditions are so good!

In the past, young and middle-aged people joined the army, and most of them were poor people who did not have enough to eat.

They couldn't get along in life anymore, so they entered the barracks and wanted to fight for their lives.

The sons of rich and noble families rarely join the army.

In the people, there has always been a saying that "a good man should not be a soldier".

No one will join the army unless absolutely necessary.

But now it's different.

Your Majesty's will, joining the army can be exempted from the labor of the whole family, and two people joining the army can be exempted from the household tax of the whole family!

This is equivalent to eliminating the worries of the whole family!

Moreover, there is also a salary for being a soldier.

The salaries of ordinary soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty were much higher than those of the previous generations.

What's more, the military rank and status of the Great Song Dynasty are equal to those of Wenchen!
