Chapter 731: A Summer Day with Enthusiasm Soaring
Tang Queqing has every reason and qualifications to let Zhu Yunxi make concessions to him in many things that have nothing to do with the government.
Or it can also be said that when Tang Queqing did not evaluate the government, everything that this woman said and showed in her eyes was something she needed to back down.
After all.
This woman gave birth to twins of the fourth generation of the Ming Dynasty, and she is also the biological mother of the eldest son of the fourth generation of the Ming royal family.
In the Ming Dynasty, there are two successive vacancies of queens.
Tang Queqing is the most noble woman in the entire Ming Dynasty.
This point, even those ladies in the palace, can't be compared.
Does Zhu Yunxi dare to say anything against it?
Not to mention whether he wants to or not, even if he really says it.
You don't need Tang Queqing to do anything.
The old man must have been the first to kill him.
And then there's Daddy and the ladies in the palace.
There is also a high probability that his stupid son who only knows Da and his stupid second son who only knows how to gnaw his brother, with a good girl who has received the favor of the royal family, will ignore himself for a long time.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi made a very wise choice, outside of the government and politics, the biggest criterion for the crown princess.
As for letting Uncle Twenty-Four Zhu Dong eat some sweets?
Even if Uncle Twenty-Four is young and will get diabetes, he must support the decision of the wise and righteous crown princess.
It's a big deal, just let the Tai Hospital strengthen the physical training of Uncle Twenty-four.
The old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty is not without a fat man.
The majestic Yan Shizi was a front-ranking figure of the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, but now he has not lost weight.
Crown Princess Tang Queqing is correct, pertinent, and absolute.
So Zhu Yunxi wisely chose to take Xiaopang and Xiaohan and go elsewhere.
As for the twenty-third uncle Zhu Huan, who insisted on the eternal existence of the Xian Party?
This little kid is still at the stage where he can be suppressed by force, so it's okay.
Today is the Tanabata Festival.
It is the year of the handover of the old and new emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which is the last year of the Hongwu era, and the next year is the Yongsheng year.
It is precisely for this reason that this year's festival in Yingtian City will probably be extraordinarily prosperous.
In the evening, the lanterns on the Xicheng project were lit up to catch up with the Lantern Festival.
Countless lanterns and boats with the theme of Chang'e are all over the Xicheng project.
The lights are on.
Around the viewing lake area, fireworks also began to rise into the sky.
The men, women, and children of Yingtian City have contributed their greatest energy today to cooperate with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to have arrived.
The nobles in the palace also waited until the end of the fireworks show before they quietly left under the escort of the forbidden army.
And at midnight, with the envoys of Ying Tianfu, the big bell on the tall buildings located around the viewing lake area was ringed.
It indicates that this grand event has finally come to an end.
After the people contributed a huge amount of consumption business tax to Ying Tianfu, everyone returned with a full load.
Wait until the deadbolts are dropped at the entrances and exits and the fences are locked.
The Xicheng project department lit the lights.
From the yamen of various ministries and departments, the officials who were skilled in arithmetic who were robbed by Yu Dalian gathered in the smoky Datong house.
The abacus crackled non-stop.
Thick books, page by page.
Yu Dalian did not go home, but accompanied Zou Xueyu, the minister of the governor of Zhili, and sat in the innermost part of the row of abacus.
Beside them, there are also officials and stewards of the household department, the Daming firm, and the Daming silver.
Although the accounts of today's opening date cannot represent the operating income of the entire West Side every day in the future.
But today's Xicheng has not been completely built.
Even though it was midnight, no one was sleepy.
That unknown number attracts everyone's attention.
In the dark.
Under the lights of the entire Xicheng project, Zhu Yunxi was alone, escorted by the forbidden army in secret, and went outside the project department.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing can't skip work all the time after all.
Now that the summer tax is about to be collected, the tax office is at its busiest. If he is not there for a day, there may not be anything, but if he is not in the yamen one after another, there will be many things that will be delayed.
As for Zhu Shangbing.
He can not go back, but he will be obediently beaten afterwards.
Most of the soldiers and guards are the children of the meritorious clan.
Even if he is the prince of King Qin, he will not be able to get any benefit in front of the 'iron-faced and selfless' commander of the army.
When Zhu Yunxi pushed open the door of the account room.
I heard an exclamation from inside.
"Three hundred and seventy-two two and five cents and three cents and nine cents!"
Rub it.
Zou Xueyu, Yu Dalian and others, who were sitting in the innermost part of the room, stood up one after another.
Even the prince, who had just started, didn't find out.
Ying Tian's prefect Yu Dalian was already flushed and excited.
And Zou Xueyu, as the minister of the governor of Zhili, seems to be a little calmer.
But the tone was also a little anxious: "Say it again, how much!" ”
The official, who was holding the final settlement account book in his hand, shouted with a smile: "Return to the governor's platform, after erasing the zero, a total of three hundred and seventy-two taels of consumption business tax." ”
"Good!"
Zou Xueyu clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the table in front of him.
The face of Yu Dalian beside him was already smiling like a flower.
The officials of the various ministries and yamen who were surrounding the two of them were also full of joy.
Zhu Yunxi also smiled, stepped forward lightly, and raised his hands to applaud.
"That's a good number!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the people in the room finally realized and reacted.
"Ministers, see the prince."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "It's all gone." ”
Zou Xueyu was the first to get up, and Yu Dalian personally moved a chair for Zhu Yunxi.
After Zhu Yunxi sat down.
Zou Xueyu said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, today is a good start for the Xicheng project." The consumption tax for one day is 372 taels, although because it is the first day of opening, more people come, but the next facilities in the project are completed one by one, and it will probably not be bad. ”
Zhu Yunxi nodded in affirmation.
Don't look at a huge Xicheng project, with countless investments, the business tax on the first day of opening seems to be only more than 372 taels, which doesn't seem to be much.
But if it is calculated according to three hundred taels, it is nine thousand taels of business tax a month.
More than 100,000 taels of business tax for a whole year.
And before the Hongwu New Deal of the Ming Dynasty, how much commercial tax was directly collected by the imperial court?
Zhu Yunxi recalled carefully.
Twenty-four years before Hongwu, the direct commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was only about 150,000 taels.
Of course, this is to remove the direct commercial tax other than the banknote tariff, the lottery fee, the real estate deed tax, the bamboo and wood tax, the mining silver, the fishing tax, etc.
Poor Ariake Imasa.
Industry and commerce have developed beyond the norm, but they can only levy more than 100,000 taels of direct commercial tax.
And now, just a Xicheng project can have about 100,000 taels of commercial business tax revenue a year.
How can this be considered less?
In the past, the calculation of Tianfu's annual Tian Fu was only about 300,000 taels.
Now, a Xicheng project can have a one-third of the annual land endowment of Ying Tianfu in the past.
Naturally, Zou Xueyu, Yu Dalian and others couldn't be excited.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and then continued: "The Xicheng project is a benchmark, and the next step is to complete all the projects, strictly control the quality of the Xicheng project, and ensure that the goods are strictly controlled, and the money is supervised in place."
If this method is feasible, in the future, Daming firms can be used as the main body to follow the experience of the Xicheng project in big cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Fengyang. ”
This is the idea of a Ming government-run commercial complex.
The most direct purpose is not to collect those business taxes, but to use these commercial complexes to drive the concentration of local resources and drive the local people to become rich.
It is impossible for the imperial court to have the same amount of silver in everyone's money bags.
But at least it can ensure that as many people as possible can gradually become rich after ensuring the continued strict management of the court officials and local gentry and wealthy merchants.
This is the purpose of the construction of the Yingtiancheng West City project at the beginning.
Now, it is clear that the first step has been successful.
Today, the consumption business tax on the project is as much as 372 taels.
Behind it, there is a much larger amount of consumption.
And the money spent by the people will be transferred to the people who provide various resources for the Xicheng project through various channels.
For example, Yingtian people who provide poultry and vegetables for the Xicheng project, and government-run and private textile factories that provide fabrics for the garment city.
This economy has naturally been driven.
Only the money in circulation is the real money, which can bring more benefits and benefits to the people of the entire Yingtianfu to improve their lives and improve their quality of life.
And Zou Xueyu naturally agreed with the crown prince's proposal.
Once the imperial court really wants to try to reproduce the Yingtian City West City project in an all-round way.
So whether it is in Suzhou Mansion or Fengyang Mansion, it is on the territory of his governor Zhili.
Those who became rich were also the people who were directly subordinate to him.
Yu Dalian was even happier.
Not to mention Daming's share of the project, that's another matter.
It is only said that the business tax on the Xicheng project belongs to him to the treasury of the Tianfu Domain.
The entire Yingtianfu needs to be handed over to the Ministry of Households.
However, Yingtianfu will also have a part of it intercepted and used for the affairs of the government.
The greater the amount of tax that should be levied by the Heavenly Government, the more tax money can be left.
This extra tax money can be used by Tianfu to continue to invest in infrastructure construction and people's livelihood transformation, and return to the hands of the people in another form.
When Zou Xueyu was the prefect of Yingtianfu, his goal was to build the Shangyuanmen Wharf and expand the water system of the Yangtze River and Xuanwu Lake, so as to improve the infrastructure and people's livelihood in Yingtianfu.
When Yu Dalian took over the post of Yingtian Governor's Mansion, his goal was to improve the entire Yingtian Mansion's industry, and before he was promoted, let as many Yingtian people as possible change to red tile roofs.
These are all things that require silver to do.
For a moment, Yu Dalian wanted to spend half of his time in the future, and he was working in the Xicheng Project Department.
In this regard, Zhu Yunxi did not say anything.
Daming has now entered a virtuous circle.
At least, in Zhili Dao and Yingtianfu, this is the case.
Officials have been able to think more actively about how to improve the livelihood of the people under their rule and make the people richer.
All the accounts up to this first day were signed and pledged by all parties and deposited in the treasury.
Zhu Yunxi left at this time.
……
In the next few days, the entire Yingtian City was plunged into an unprecedented bustle.
In the summer, the increasingly hot weather cannot stop the enthusiastic people of Yingtian.
For the Xicheng project, the final daily business tax is indeed maintained at the level of about 300 taels per day.
For this reason, the cabinet also specially issued a commendation document to praise the ministries and officials involved in the entire Xicheng project, and even those stewards and shop owners on the project were also praised.
Under such encouragement, it is natural that everyone is desperate to contribute to the project.
And with the first kick-off of the Daming Rugby Summer Cup in Hongwu's 31st year.
Ying Tiancheng's enthusiasm in this summer has finally been pushed to its peak.
Because the rugby stadium is located in the West Side project, this has brought more tourists and people to the West Side project.
In the past few years, the Daming Rugby Summer Cup has been passed to farther places.
More people will choose to come here.
There are not only the Ming people, but also those Ottomans, Romans, and Oropas who set out in winter and arrived in summer.
From before the start of the game, the betting market in Yingtian City has received a large number of bets.
In a way, behind the handicap that operates exclusively.
It was the household officials who were smiling and the officials of the East Palace Prince's Mansion under the leadership of Yutian.
Of course, the royal family also has a stake behind this handicap.
However, now it is handed over to the Daming firm for management, the accounts are set up separately, and the final settlement is clear, and the surplus is directly sent to the internal funds.
And with the accumulation of experience in rugby games over the years.
On the handicap, some adjustments have also been made.
Ordinary people, all of them are limited in the amount of bets.
No one can change this rule.
A bet of ten cents in a football game is not enough to make an ordinary person ruin.
As for cheating?
Unless these people can't see it, those people who are wearing a military uniform on the outside and revealing a flying fish suit at the hem are Jinyiwei.
In the first few years, there were indeed those gambling dogs, using various means to increase the amount of bets.
But without exception.
All of them went to the Jinyi Guard's prison.
There is no need to punish these people, but a simple visit can stop these people's childish thoughts of getting rich.
The handicap is used to cut leeks, and it is for those big households.
Under the premise of ensuring that some of the big players win and some lose, and the handicap is definitely the biggest winner, it is not an unacceptable thing to achieve the redistribution of wealth.
Although the cabinet had some opinions on this, it did not say anything after all.
If you want to blame, you can only blame these people who already have some money in their pockets, and they still want to get a fortune that falls from the sky.
