Chapter 70 The Beginning of the Tax Collection Turmoil
"The other is the construction of water conservancy, should be in the Ming suitable planting area to start the pilot, and now the Daming drought often occurs, should pay more attention to agricultural water conservancy, in the rainy years should also pay attention to deep cultivation, rational use of water."
"What Xu Aiqing said is reasonable." Zhu Youzhen nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Agriculture was established not long ago, and there are still omissions in many places, and in the Ming Royal Library and the Royal Academy of Sciences, the minister has seen a lot of books related to agriculture, so the minister wonders if these can be reprinted to the Ministry of Agriculture?"
At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was very happy because of the advent of "Daming Agricultural Encyclopedia", and he naturally would not refuse such a request.
"I am approved, and I will issue an order to communicate with them in advance, and if there are relevant books, they will be prioritized for screening and reprinting, and then sent to the Ministry of Agriculture."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"In addition. I would like you to participate in the inventory of the acres of the household, and if necessary, you can access the Daming fish scale book in Nanjing. ”
Xu Guangqi raised his head when he heard this, with some incredulity in his face?
What is the Fish Scale Book?
To put it nicely, it is called the detailed records of various places in the Ming Dynasty, and the ugly ones are the foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and such things are actually allowed to be accessed by themselves?
"Minister... Thank you to the Emperor. ”
"Alright, alright, I know, let's go down and make arrangements."
He waved his hand casually and sent Xu Guangqi away, but in fact, after he turned around, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were full of expectation.
Xu Guangqi's surprise to him today is really not small.
......
Soon after Xu Guangqi left, Zhu Youzhen put pen to paper in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Wang Chengen was in charge of grinding and waiting, and at this time, the news came from outside the house that Bi Ziyan asked for an audience.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play."
Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood at the moment, and said with a smile: "Then I will listen to Bi Aiqing's affairs today." ”
However, Bi Ziyan's expression was full of seriousness.
"Your Majesty, according to the report of the Fujian Branch of the Daming Royal Taxation Bureau, there has been a lot of conflict between the local Taxation Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the problem is that the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau has been using a more gentle promotion method."
"Therefore, the registration rate of local merchants in the industrial and commercial bureau is generally very low, and this is a clear tax evasion in the eyes of the tax bureau, so the tax collector has arrested a lot of businessmen in the local area, and now the industrial and commercial bureau says that the tax bureau has broken their business. So.."
"Bang!"
Zhu Youzhen's originally smiling face suddenly closed with dark clouds, and he said sharply: "Bad for their business? What is this Fujian Industrial and Commercial Bureau doing over there, how embarrassed to say! The registration of merchants and the issuance of tax certificates were carried out several months before the arrival of the tax bureau, and it was not done for such a long time! How dare you say that the tax office broke their business! ”
"I don't think it's just a lack of doing things well, I'm afraid there is also a suspicion of self-theft, the tax and silver that Fujian Province needs to pay for foreign commerce in a day is not a small number, according to the interest rate of three taxes and one set by me for Jiangnan."
Bi Ziyan came to meet Zhu Youzhen today, and naturally he saw through the cats in it.
But he was still a little undecided, and said cautiously: "Then Your Majesty.."
"Kill! Asked Wei Zhongxian to personally lead Dongchang to Fujian to supervise a circle, to find out the truth of my investigation, to find out Qiankun Langlang, if the tax man or Mr. who understands the accounts is not enough, he will transfer people from the tax bureaus of other provinces and the Beijing Taxation Bureau, and if there is a problem with the accounts, he will transfer people from the Daming Royal Bank and the Royal Academy of Management! ”
"I don't believe it! This bad debt in Jiangnan will never be clear! ”
Get straight to the point, concise and to the point!
"Bi Ziyan, I tell you, the reason why reform is reform, the meaning behind it is that this aspect has reached the point where it will not be able to change, and if it is not changed, it will be reformed, and to get rid of maladministration, we must let go of our hands and feet, and make drastic changes, taxes are my money bag, you are all cowering, and I have to shrink when it is time to use money!"
Bi Ziyan saw that Zhu Youzhen's expression was not joking, so he naturally didn't dare to delay.
"Wechen respectfully follow His Majesty's teachings!"
"This matter is to manage the country's finances and benefit the people, if the commercial tax can't be collected, then how can I hand over the consumption tax, personal income tax, mining tax, salt tax, and export tax to you, and how can I let you do it!"
"In addition, this time I happened to go to the Royal School of Management to borrow someone, so it is better for the Daming Royal Taxation Bureau to take this opportunity to kill and kill people, so that the common people, corrupt officials, landlords, evil gentry, and unscrupulous profiteers in this world can all open their eyes and see! Reform is to the death! Reform is not as simple as paying lip service! ”
"Obey the order!"
Bi Ziyan's forehead was already full of beads of sweat at this moment, the majesty of the Son of Heaven was not a joke, standing here Bi Ziyan only felt that the current emperor valued the Ming Royal Taxation Bureau was unimaginable.
"That's right! Tell the Royal Chamber of Commerce and Industry about the bunch of wine bags and rice bags! I'll make a note of Fujian's affairs, if there is still this kind of moth! Just wait to go to the edict and receive the reward! ”
......
Fujian Province.
Quanzhou.
The arrival of the Royal Tax Office made countless businessmen sleepless day and night, but nothing they originally imagined happened, because of the weakness of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the tax office was like a tiger with its teeth removed.
There is no place to use force, which can make all the merchants laugh.
In the middle of the night, in a brothel of flowers and willows, wine glasses are intertwined.
"This! This so-called new policy of the imperial court, in my old king's opinion, is nothing more than that! Hahahaha, this industrial and commercial bureau is incompetent, but I didn't expect that even the tax bureau has no ability to collect taxes! ”
"Hahaha, collecting business taxes? Since ancient times, there has been no such reason, and if the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has to let us apply for the Narausch license, I am afraid it will not be a matter for us to strike the market and make a few fights. ”
"That's it! This huge Fujian internal firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, which can be separated from the shopkeepers here! ”
"Hahaha! Drink! ”
"I'll see what to do!"
......
The speed of the East Factory is very fast, although Wei Zhongxian will not be able to catch up with Fujian for a while, but the East Factory Yicheng in the post road is fast, and the express letter was sent to the East Factory in Fujian only the next day.
"What! Grandpa Wei is coming! ”
"The commander of the Jinyi Guard is also coming!"
"The Ministry of Households, the Taxation Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Tianhu Army!"
Cold sweat instantly broke out from Ma Huairen's forehead, and Beijing officials of such a scale actually gathered in Fujian from all over the world because of the unfavorable promotion of this commercial tax.
This had to make him feel terrified!
"Quick! Order people to prepare horses! Arrest all the businessmen in Quanzhou who don't know whether they are dead or alive! ”
"Yes!"
