Since Yingtianfu's trial of commercial taxes, Zhu Yuanzhang has not received a report from Jinyiwei, and the household department has often played how much commercial tax has been collected into the warehouse, and everything is developing in a good direction.

He has always believed that the trial of commercial tax is going well.

Who knew that the trial of commercial tax not only did not go well, but caused the people to complain.

It's just that Jinyiwei is derelict in his duties, and he doesn't know that there is a problem with the commercial tax trial.

And Lan Bin, an insider, concealed it and did not report it.

In particular, he has always regarded Lan Bin as his nephew, and he is ready to entrust him with important tasks, bother to pave the way for Lan Bin and help Lan Bin become a talent.

As a result, Lan Bin repaid him like this, how not to be angry, how not to be angry.

When Lan Bin heard this, his heart relaxed a lot, he was not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would say something, but he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not say anything, and then he would be convicted in a daze, and he didn't even know how to die.

And now Zhu Yuanzhang pointed out that he did not try to test the problem of commercial taxation in time, so he has a countermeasure.

What's more, he had planned to wait for the opportunity to play in the past two days, but now it was in advance.

Thinking about it, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!"

"Say!" Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and spit out a word.

Lan Bin silently worded: "Your Majesty, the minister did find that there were many problems in the trial process of commercial taxation a few days ago. But the minister is not a courtier, and he does not know much about the trial of commercial taxation."

"Therefore, the minister has been asking people to investigate the issue of the trial commercial tax, and I am ready to play the emperor after the investigation is completed!"

Zhu Biao was also angry, but Lan Bin knew about the trial of commercial taxes, but he hid it from himself. But just after listening to Lan Bin's words, I remembered that Lan Bin seemed to be young, but he was extremely old in speaking and doing things.

Not like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

And the trial of commercial tax is the most important event in the imperial court at present, with Lan Bin's character, if he didn't investigate clearly, how could he dare to talk in front of his father.

Thinking about it, he lost his anger and didn't say anything, and took the initiative to intercede: "Father, my cousin has always been calm, he doesn't understand the situation, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense in front of you!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Bin's immature face, his anger disappeared a lot, and he said in a deep voice, "Then you can investigate it now?"

"Not yet, the minister just investigated a rough idea." Lan Bin stood up, shook his head, and said.

The situation of the trial commercial tax that he is currently in possession of is only the result, such as the forced collection of commercial tax by the government officials, and so on.

It is not known who formulated the commercial tax collection plan, and whether there was anyone behind the forced collection of commercial tax by the government officials who contributed to the trouble and obstructed the collection of commercial tax.

Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered that Lan Bin was a child, and he was not surprised that he couldn't investigate the implementation of commercial taxes, and said, "Then what happened to your investigation?"

"The minister doesn't know much, and the current situation is limited to the problems that have arisen in the trial implementation of the commercial tax! For example, in the commercial tax collection plan, the tax collection yamen tried a tax rate of 30 to 1 for large merchants, and for ordinary vendors, a fixed commercial tax ranging from 100 wen to 500 copper coins was levied!"

Lan Bin said seriously: "Also, the time for the yamen to collect taxes is not reasonable..."

As he spoke, he enumerated the problems that had existed in the implementation of the trial commercial tax and gave examples.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more angry he became, his face became more and more ugly, and finally after Lan Bin finished speaking, he couldn't help but say, "Bastard, who gave them the courage to do this? Are they officials, or are they bandits and robbers?"

"Come on, let Jinyiwei command Jiang Xuan, take down Ying Tianfu, the household department and all the cadres, and go to Zhao Prison!"

"Father, the emperor is angry, we don't know much about the trial of commercial taxes at present, so it's not appropriate to make a big move!" Zhu Biao, who was angry, almost instinctively pleaded for mercy.

He listened to Lan Bin's words just now, and it was impossible to say that he was not angry.

It's just that he knows that the commercial tax trial is to try out possible problems, and then correct them, revise the commercial tax enforcement law, and avoid more problems after the large-scale promotion of commercial tax, which will lead to a loss of control.

If there is a problem with the commercial tax trial, the Jinyi guard will be dispatched to arrest people and send them to prison, and the commercial tax will be required

Don't continue to levy?

Do those officials still dare to work hard?

Lan Bin pulled the corners of his mouth, it is worthy of you Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't agree with each other, you will use brocade clothes to defend the prison. also followed: "The emperor is angry, and the minister thinks that the top priority is not to be accountable, but to set things right."

"Revising the Trial Measures for the Collection of Commercial Tax!"

"Father, what my cousin said is extremely true, the top priority is to plug the loopholes in the collection of commercial taxes and avoid being used by villains." Zhu Biao glanced at Lan Bin approvingly, and then pleaded.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Bin, then at Zhu Biao, and forcibly suppressed his anger: "Biao'er, Lan Bin, you have a good plan!"

"Father, there is no good plan for the son!" Zhu Biao said a little embarrassed.

In fact, he has been thinking about ways to circumvent the problem since he knew about the problems that had arisen in the trial of commercial taxation.

It's just that the problems in the implementation of the trial commercial tax are not big, but they are very fatal, and after a thousand things, I didn't come up with any good solutions for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Bin again, and said in a deep voice, "What about you!"

"Back to the emperor, the minister has a little superficial opinion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" Lan Bin had already thought of a countermeasure, but he didn't rush to behave, but made a hesitant look.

Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently: "Speak!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are so many problems in the trial of commercial tax, and it is not a problem in the implementation at all, but a problem in the formulation of the commercial tax!" Lan Bin said busily.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and said, "You mean to say that it is our fault that there have been so many problems in the implementation of the trial commercial tax and caused the people to complain?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention. The minister just thinks that only by improving the formulation of commercial tax and fundamentally eliminating loopholes can we better avoid the problems that arise during the implementation of the trial commercial tax!" Lan Bin was startled and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Lan Bin for a moment, believed Lan Bin's words, and then said, "Keep talking!"

"The minister thinks that the formulation of commercial tax needs to be revised in more detail."

Lan Bin breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "For example, refine the scope of commercial tax collection!"

"How do you say about refining the scope of commercial tax collection?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao saw each other, and they both came with interest, and looked at Lan Bin with interest.

"The minister thinks that the essence of collecting commercial taxes is to rob the rich and help the poor."

Lan Bin secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and thought for a while, "For example, Chen's glass and soap business is a profiteering business. The commercial tax is levied at the rate of 30 taxes, and only a small part of the profits need to be paid."

"And those low-profit businesses, according to the 30 tax to collect commercial tax, may pay a large amount of profit. It can even discourage merchants from doing business."

"Just like a problem that arose in the trial implementation of commercial tax, the willingness of street vendors to set up stalls weakened, and they would rather not set up stalls than pay commercial tax."

"In such a situation, continuing to levy commercial taxes will only undermine the business environment."

"Well, the essence of collecting a commercial tax is to rob the rich and help the poor... Wait, what do you mean by taking our glass business as an example?"
