According to this trend, customs trade will become more and more frequent.

Therefore, 10,000 taels is far from the end, but the starting point.

After trying to make money at the customs, the officials have completely changed their views of the customs.

The prince's fat body paused slightly, turned his head to look at the household official, and hurriedly said, "Give me the fold." ”

The household official hurriedly handed the fold to the prince.

The crown prince took it and glanced down.

I saw that his body trembled more and more, and then gradually stabilized, as if he was trying to suppress his inner emotions.

The prince took the fold and shouted: "On the thirteenth day of opening the sea, the tax is 12,000 taels." ”

"Fourteen days, thirteen thousand taels of taxes."

"Fifteen days, fifteen thousand taels in taxes."

"I would like to play the emperor, Fuzhou Customs has broken through the 10,000 tax mark, and the strategy of opening the sea is promising."

"Bow down."

The prince finished reading aloud, closed the recital, and exhaled deeply.

Until now, his heart is still numb with shock.

However, his deep voice still echoed in the main hall.

It doesn't matter what the Fuzhou envoy said.

What matters is what the imperial court gets.

Fifteen thousand taels!

It was only four or five days since the sea was opened, and the tax was 15,000 taels.

Xia Yuanji was ecstatic, this big guy was in the court, lost his temper in public, and laughed.

Yang Shiqi was so excited that he kept touching his beard: "Good, good, good drive!" ”

"Originally, we had no eyes, and we thought that the ban on opening the sea would only cause trouble, but we didn't expect that it could bring such a big benefit to the imperial court."

Jian Yi also laughed, his heart surging.

With more than 10 million taels of taxes every year, whether it is disaster relief or road construction and war, the imperial court does not have to be afraid.

Xingguo Gong was also a little excited.

Chengyang Hou and Tai Ning Hou were already clenching their fists with joy, and they were closely watching the old man's performance.

With money, the old man will definitely start a war again.

This is their chance!

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar!

For a while, in the Fengtian Palace, everyone looked in disbelief.

Shock, it's normal.

In the Fengtian Temple, there has never been such a noise.

But the mood of the hundred officials was all excited.

In ancient times, agriculture was the main tax item, and in the future, customs will also become a major tax item.

In this way, the imperial court will have two incomes, and it will be more flexible in terms of finances.

Isn't that a good thing?

However, it was precisely because this good thing was so great that after the prince was ecstatic, his expression became solemn.

He took this note and said in a deep voice: "The envoy of Fuzhou City has been out of office for many years, and now it is difficult to reopen, is there a possibility that he is lying about the number in order to keep his position?" ”

The prince's voice fell, and Xia Yuanji seemed to be poured a basin of cold water.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also frightened by the prince's words.

The prince didn't mean to find fault, but he had seen too many things like this, so he was more cautious, and besides, this fifteen thousand taels was really too much,......

The old man also bowed slightly.

He also didn't believe that Fuzhou Customs could collect 15,000 taels a day.

The crown prince stood up and arched his hand: "Huangshan, Erchen thinks that this matter still needs to be investigated, and reliable people should be sent to Fuzhou Customs to check their account books, so that everything can be settled." ”

"National affairs, taxation and taxation must not be fooled, otherwise the expenses of the imperial court in the coming year will exceed the standard, and the gold and silver of the treasury will not be able to maintain the operation of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi said this, which is not unreasonable.

The old man didn't think about it as meticulously as the prince, and he bowed slightly when he heard this: "Okay, then send someone to investigate." ”

"Who wants to go?"

The old man's eyes glanced at the officials of the household department.

Because in the old man's opinion, the household officials are the most sensitive to the accounts, and it is most appropriate for them to go.

However, at this very moment.

The previous household official stood up again, took out an account book from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the rubbing of the customs account book has also been sent to the household department, and the emperor is invited to review it." ”

The words fell, and the surroundings suddenly became audible.

The prince's breathing suddenly became a lot shorter, and his fat body couldn't even wait for the household official to send the account book over, and walked directly towards him.

When he walked up to the household official, the prince reached out and took the account book.

The ledger is densely remembered.

The prince took it seriously and checked them one by one.

He has always been cautious and meticulous, and he never let go of any suspicious income.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also watching the prince settle accounts, waiting for the final result of the prince.

About half an hour later, the prince closed the ledger.

Exhaled slightly, raised his head and said, "The account book is real, and every account is correct." ”

The prince's voice fell.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man's face was also obviously soothed.

If this is fake, the old man may be very disappointed, because his military spending has flown again.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also breathed a sigh of relief.

For a while, everyone's gaze at His Royal Highness Taisun was completely different.

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but praise: "His Royal Highness Taisun's eyes are like torches, and his eyes are discerning, and he really found that the customs is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

Yang Shiqi also admired it sincerely, walked up to the grandson, and personally bowed his hand: "His Royal Highness the grandson, the old minister is confused." ”

At this time, the hundred officials bowed down one after another and saluted His Royal Highness.

"His Royal Highness the Taisun is wise and brave, and the Ming Dynasty is a thousand years."

"His Royal Highness Taisun is wise and brave, and he is a thousand years old!"

At the same time as the hundred officials shouted, the people in the six departments had black faces all the time.

Others don't know how high the revenue of the customs is, but they do.

Smuggling and smuggling alone, these traders have to hand over more than 500,000 taels of money to them every year, and it seems not surprising that the sea ban has now been fully lifted......

It's just that this income that belongs to them has been turned into the imperial court.

Hu Ying's face was the blackest, and he stared at the grandson standing there, with a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Hearing that there are more than 10 million taxes every year, unhappy people have become Hu Ying.

No matter how jealous he was in his heart, Hu Ying had no choice.

The crown prince was suddenly a little annoyed.

He looked at his son and smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have no eyes." ”

"I always thought that the opening of the sea ban would bring a lot of trouble to the country, but today I have to thank my grandson."

The prince patted Zhu Zhanji's shoulder and said with a look of relief: "Son, you gave your father a long look today." ”

After saying that, the prince turned around again and looked at the old man.

Kneeling down, the prince faced the old man and said solemnly: "Dad, you are right to support Zhanji." ”

"At that time, thanks to your support, otherwise where would I find the tax of more than 10 million taels."

The old man smiled, the grandson was praised, and his face was also bright.

Looking at this beloved grandson, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Stinky boy, tell me, what reward do you want?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was waiting for this moment.

He smiled and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have recently taken a fancy to a woman......

Zhu Di could guess what the grandson was going to say.

Following the grandson's tone, the old man continued: "I want to take her to the palace and beg grandpa to give her a name." ”

Zhu Zhanji was suddenly embarrassed.

He didn't expect that the old man would understand what he was going to say next.

Baiguan was also snickering, thinking it was very funny.

The old man smiled, waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Change one, not for the time being." ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned: "What to change?" ”

The old man sat on the dragon chair, thought about it for a while, and said, "Where is Tiance Guard?" ”

"Go and get the Celestial Guard."

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch door left the Fengtian Hall and went to summon the Tiance Guard.

Not long after, a hundred Tiance guards, armed with armor and swords, entered the Fengtian Temple.

The commander of Tian Cewei knelt on his knees and shouted: "Tian Cewei, meet the emperor!" ”

Baiguan faintly guessed in his heart what the old man wanted to do next.

Tiance Wei ......

This is the most direct symbol of imperial power.

It is also the strongest of the emperor's twelve personal guards.

Tian Cewei, are you going to canonize your grandson?

Although Taisun is already the future king, it is too early to be canonized, right?

The meaning of Tiancewei is extraordinary.
