Chapter 159: Open!

Later generations have a self-proclaimed beacon of freedom and democracy, and only two things remain eternal in their people's lifetimes: death and paying taxes.

General Secretary of the General Administration.

Positive three products.

From the Baoyuan Bureau to the General Administration, not to mention other places, even in history it is extremely rare!

Someone reacted immediately to such a promotion speed, and the most fierce reaction was Wu Zhong, who frowned and said directly: "Not to mention whether this move can really benefit the country and the people, rather than letting some rats suck the bones and suck the marrow to loot the people's fat and ointment!" ”

"Just Lord Wang of the Baoyuan Bureau is also the political envoy of the General Administration, and the minister thinks that there is something wrong!"

"The general political envoy is in charge of the internal and external chapters to refute the matter, and all the Quartet's complaints, grievances, or illegal accusations, etc., shall transcribe the reasons for the complaint in the base book, and submit the complaint for information."

"This is the responsibility of the political envoy, and those who have not lived in the officialdom for a long time cannot win... Wang Siqi is a yellow-mouthed child, who has been an official for less than a year, how can he take on such a big responsibility? What kind of merit and talent can be a good political envoy! ”

The words fell.

Many ministers in the DPRK and China nodded one after another.

Some people even echoed the same voice, and for a time it became a market for flowers, birds, fish and insects.

Seeing this chaos, Zhu Di did not stop it, but stood aside and Zhu Gaochi, who had always treated hundreds of officials with generosity and gentleness, frowned instantly, looked at the ministers coldly, and scolded loudly: "What kind of system!" Be quieter... This is the court, and the place of deliberation is not the place where you speak falsely! ”

"Minister. Don't dare! ”

"It's just that the minister thinks that this life is really inappropriate, and please think twice!"

The originally noisy atmosphere was instantly quieter.

Zhu Gaochi's sudden angry rebuke made the ministers present a little dumbfounded, this matter seemed to be a little different from what they had expected.

I always said it before.

The relationship between the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and Wang Siqi is very good, and even when he was able to become an official and go to the Baoyuan Bureau to serve as the superintendent of the Baoyuan Bureau, it was because of the support of the prince behind him.

Now it seems that it is enough to show that this is not groundless.

"Isn't that about a commercial tax?"

"What are you all about?"

.....

The key point of the ministers' discussion was once again dragged from Wang Siqi himself to whether to levy commercial taxes.

"Chen Zhao often risked his life to admonish! The commercial tax can not be opened, this is against the ancestral system, but also with the people to compete for profits, the Ming Dynasty is rich in land, the imperial court sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, do you still care about small profits? What's more, if the business tax is collected, who collects it and who uses it, the tax amount to be added alone is not a small amount! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal! Your Majesty, the commercial tax can't be opened! Please give the people a little time to recuperate, if the commercial tax is opened, I don't know how many people in the world will be unable to maintain their livelihood because of this! ”

As he spoke, the remarks of the DPRK and China were vaguely one-sided.

No matter how high or low the official position is, no matter how big or small the official position is.

All of them opposed the reopening of commercial taxes by the imperial court, and even proposed that if the imperial court wanted to reopen commercial taxes, it would be offending the scholars of the whole world.

Reading, asking for money.

The people of the wealthy family can't afford to read, and those who can afford to read are either after the official eunuchs, or after the wealthy families, in the final analysis, they all need a certain amount of business as accumulation.

....

A great philosopher once said, "When you want to demolish another man's house, then he will fight to the death, but if you say that you want to demolish his window at such a time, then they will often agree." ”

The matter of commercial taxation has not been accurately stated until the next dynasty.

Zhu Di waved his sleeves and retreated.

This is not because Zhu Di let hundreds of officials go unchecked, nor is it because the officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted to make a decision when they encountered something.

In the final analysis, the ministers are just giving the emperor an opinion for reference.

If you encounter an unstable emperor, the ministers may still be able to control the government, so that what the emperor says will always stay in the palace and stay in the court.

But Zhu Di is such an emperor?

What do you think...

Intrauterine.

By a gazebo in the garden, Zhu Di rarely had a leisurely and elegant walk here after dinner, and Wang Siqi's expression on the side seemed to be very weird.

The strange thing is that he doesn't know what Zhu Di, the old boy, summoned him alone for the first time.

"Today's scene in the court, I believe you have seen it... This is the court of the Ming Dynasty, don't I know that they are rushing to oppose the imperial court's commercial tax just because once the commercial tax is collected, it will encroach on their interests? ”

"I know, but now the court has no money... Even the hundred officials' fortunes are so difficult to start, and sometimes I envy your kid's Baoyuan Bureau. ”

"It's not a big place, though."

"But fortunately, I can earn silver, and I can give money to officials and craftsmen every month, and I can really get it into their hands, so that they can take the silver to settle down and buy a house, and to feed a family!"

"If the entire Ming Dynasty can do this, then I!"

"No regrets!"

Zhu Di seemed to be talking to himself, walking forward as he spoke, not paying much attention to Wang Siqi who was beside him.

This feeling: made Wang Siqi feel at a loss that he couldn't say.

"The commercial tax must be implemented, even if it will not be able to implement this law in the entire Ming Dynasty for a while and a half, as long as it can hold the capital, hold the south of the Yangtze River, and hold the coast!"

"It's enough in a short time!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di suddenly laughed heartily: "What do you think I am doing with giving you the title of General Political Envoy Si Tong?" Do you think you're really the one who can handle the setbacks? I want you to use this name to give me the business tax! ”

"Can you do it?"

"Can you do it?"

"What should I do?"

"Do it! Take the Baoyuan Bureau as a model, you can collect as much as you want, and the minister will not pay less than a penny of silver, as long as the minister can do it, then no one in the entire capital dares to gossip! ”

"And there's..."

When he said this, Wang Siqi paused rarely, and Zhu Di immediately understood what Wang Siqi was thinking, waved his sleeves and said: "I'm not joking with you, since I let you collect taxes, you have to let go of your hands and feet and do things beautifully!" ”

"Got it!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

"The taxes collected by the DPRK and China every year are pitifully small, and they are often stretched thin once they are used, I am not afraid of your jokes, the silver in the treasury is not as good as the silver earned by your treasure source bureau!"

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, why isn't the emperor like this?"
