"Dare to ask the emperor, what is the way?" Tobe Shangshu Zeng Tai's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

Among the six parts, he is the one who is most concerned about the collection of commercial taxes.

There is no way, he is the head of the household department, and he is in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court.

Any of the six departments had to ask him for money and food, and even the emperor had to ask him for money and food.

But the court has a lot of food and little money.

Usually give the Manchu Dynasty civil and military money, they are all tight, and in the event of natural disasters, they are even more stretched.

In the past, it was okay, but the household department had no money, so I asked for an order to print and distribute treasure money. But in recent days, I don't know what the emperor thinks, and he has repeatedly asked for the printing and distribution of treasure money, but the emperor has left it behind.

In the face of the other five departments, the local government reached out to ask for money, and he couldn't sleep all night.

Two days ago, the emperor asked the six ministries to secretly discuss the collection of commercial taxes, and he was the first to raise his hands and feet in agreement.

However, in addition to the household department, the other five ministries have opposed it, and a good open source strategy ended in nothing.

And now that the emperor has brought up the matter of levying commercial taxes again, he also claims that there is a solution, so how can he not be excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone and said proudly: "We want to set up Nanjing as a pilot for commercial tax collection!"

Pilot?

Everyone looked at each other, these two words obviously knew each other, why did they not know what they meant after they became words? Could it be that the emperor coined the word again? Zhu Biao was also puzzled for a while, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Father, what is the commercial tax collection pilot?"

"The pilot is the place where the commercial tax collection is being piloted!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and recounted Lan Bin's suggestion according to his own understanding: "The collection of commercial taxes is not a trivial matter, and it is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

"The rash promotion of the imposition of commercial tax across the country is likely to cause a lot of instability. Therefore, we are ready to try out the commercial tax collection method in Nanjing."

"First, we can accumulate experience in collecting commercial taxes. Second, it can cultivate talents who collect commercial taxes. Thirdly, Nanjing is under our noses, and even if something happens to the collection of commercial taxes, it is within the controllable range."

"Fourth, whether the collection of commercial taxes is good or not, and whether it is beneficial to the imperial court, just try it!"

"What do you think, how about this way?"

Everyone is not stupid, they are only subject to the times, which limits their horizons, and now after Zhu Yuanzhang broke it, he immediately understood the benefits of the pilot, especially the current court officials, who were imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang and slaughtered, and there was a shortage of manpower.

This pilot project of collecting commercial tax is very small compared with the number of manpower required for the full collection of commercial tax, which is very much in line with the current situation of the imperial court.

The most important thing is that the use of a city as a pilot for commercial tax collection can be called a stroke of genius.

There are many advantages, but there are very few disadvantages, and there is no reason to oppose it.

After all, the emperor has said that Nanjing's collection of commercial tax is a pilot, and it is feasible to try to collect commercial tax.

Didn't you even try to collect commercial taxes, but didn't let the emperor do it?

"Your Majesty!" Tobe Shangshu Zeng Tai was the first to react, and hurriedly got up and shouted on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang's pilot method of commercial tax collection is good, but he hopes to promote the commercial tax collection pilot as soon as possible, raise the commercial tax as soon as possible, and relieve the pressure of the imperial court's financial and grain embarrassment as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty!"

Zeng Tai, the secretary of the household department, directly cut off the opposition of the other five books, and the pilot method was impeccable, so he could only get up and worship one after another.

Even Zhu Biao got up and saluted, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with admiration, his father, worthy of his father, was able to come up with a pilot method for commercial tax collection.

It not only blocked the mouths of the six ministries against commercial taxation, but also implemented the collection of commercial taxes. It also solves the problem of the current shortage of officials in the imperial court.

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became even stronger, but he said modestly: "Whether this commercial tax collection pilot is feasible or not still needs the advice and advice of the ministers!"

"Your Majesty, the pilot policy of commercial tax collection is very feasible, which not only eliminates possible problems, but also takes into account the current situation of the imperial court. That's a good idea!" Zeng Tai said busily.

The remaining five books,

Prince Zhu Biao has gossiped, quoted scriptures, and praised the pilot of commercial tax collection.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more concerned, and completely forgot that the method of the pilot collection of commercial tax was that he took Lan Bin's suggestion as his own.

But even if he remembers, he doesn't mind, Lan Bin is his nephew's descendant, and Lan Bin's suggestion is his idea.

Does Lan Bin dare to say a word? …………

On this day, the glass dealer auction prepared by Lanfu began.

Glass products, clothing mirrors and other things, after this period of sale, have already made a name for themselves among the merchant group. The word agent has also been consciously disseminated by Lanfu, which has made the businessman group aware of the interests of regional monopoly.

So much so that at the agent auction, the wealthy businessmen from all over the country rushed to Nanjing to compete strongly. As a result, the bidding prices of agents in various provinces have been rising.

In particular, the agent price in rich states and counties has climbed to 50,000 taels a year.

However, the agency fees of relatively poor and backward states and counties are extremely cheap, less than 1,000 taels of silver.

In some places, there are not even merchants bidding, and in the end the auction is unsuccessful, and no one cares.

But even so, after an agent auction, he still collected two million taels of silver for Lan Bin.

When Lan Bin led people to bet on 1.6 million taels of silver, 200,000 taels of goods, a total of 1.8 million taels of silver, entered the palace, joined Zhu Xiongying, and came to Zhu Yuanzhang together.

"This is your glass business, and you made it in more than a month?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, looking at the boxes in front of him, full of silver, a little incredulous, last time Lan Bin used less than three months, relying on the glass business, he gave him 400,000 taels of silver.

And now!

It had only been a long time, and it had only been more than a month, and he was brought another piece of silver.

and sent 1,800,000 taels of silver.

1,800,000 taels!

In more than a month, he earned half of the imperial court's annual tax silver.

It's simply....

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said patiently, "Your Majesty, this is not more than a month, selling clothes and mirrors and other things, and earning money. It's the agency fee for the auction of the glass agency."

"Among them, the pre-sale money for selling clothes and mirrors and other things is only about 200,000 taels."

Power of attorney? Pre-sale?

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused, where did this kid Lan Bin come up with so many words? Obviously, I know every word, but when they are put together, I don't know what it means.

This is obviously bullying us, no culture!
