Chapter 80 Zhu Di is a loser
Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was sent to the criminal department, this is because the second vassal king who was convicted of tax problems was different from Zhu Gaoxu's ascension on the spot, Zhu Quan was punished this time, and he was not polite at all. There was no bargain that allowed him to lend.
If you want to say how miserable Zhu Quan is, it is rumored that even Princess Ning's dowry has been taken out, but even so, it is still not enough.
Zhu Quan could only sign an agreement with the household department to pay in installments...... A part of his money is deducted from each month, as for the period?
Based on the twenty-year generation, at least five generations will be needed.
Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Ning for mentioning the world's first installment contract.
At the same time, congratulations to the descendants of Ning Wangfu, who were very fortunate to bear a lifelong debt before they were born.
I really don't know what kind of evil I have created, and I won't be able to bring disaster to my descendants?
How can you do such a thing?
"Xia Shangshu, are you going too far?"
At the meeting, Song Li first complained that he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites and was also responsible for the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, and now several vassal kings have come to him and asked him to stand up for King Ning, Zhu Quan owes Zhu Quan to pay off his debts, why should he implicate future generations?
Xia Yuanji said with a dark face: "Can this kind of idea be me?" ”
As soon as he heard this, the big guy subconsciously looked at Xu Jingchang.
No need to ask, this immoral ghost must be him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's true that the disaster will not reach the descendants, but there is always a condition, that is, the blessing is not as good as the descendants, they are not the descendants of Prince Ning, and they will not receive the money at all, and now they are just taking some out of the money to repay the debts owed to the country, which is also wrong? If any of them took the initiative to declare that they would give up their clan status, not want a title, and become the same as ordinary people, they would naturally not have to repay this debt. ”
Song Li was speechless in an instant, it really made sense, but who was willing to give up his clan identity? It seems that King Ning's family can't escape.
However, it seems that Xu Jingchang's words have hidden mysteries...... After dealing with this kid for a long time, the more I feel a rule, this kid often talks and does things just for the foreshadowing of the things that follow...... The typical one is the General Administration Department, who just started with the statistics of various ministries, and he got great authority, and almost resurrected the prime minister.
There is also the matter of commercial tax, from a treasure gate tax card, to today, it is endless.
It's really hard to say whether this treatment of King Ning will become the beginning of a thing......
Jian Yi said with a calm face: "The matter of the kings of the clan, let Your Majesty decide, let's not say more." The most important thing at the moment is to start with the case of King Ning, investigate tax arrears, and punish profiteers. Xia Shangshu, what do you have in mind here? ”
Xia Yuanji said: "The main force of taxation is still the General Administration, and I can only go all out to cooperate with Xu Tongzheng." ”
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Jian Tianguan, rest assured, I have asked the cabinet to draw up three sets of strategies, which will be submitted to Your Majesty in the near future, and you can implement it as long as you wait for Your Majesty's will." ”
"Three sets of strategies? Isn't it a bit much? Do you need to discuss it first, take out the safest one and give it to Your Majesty? Song Li tried to suggest.
Xu Jingchang smiled, "No need, with Your Majesty's wisdom, you will definitely be able to choose the most suitable way, as a courtier, how can you encroach on the power of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Jian Yi looked at everyone and announced the end of the meeting.
Today was a very quiet one, with almost no important military affairs discussed and no violent quarrels.
But Jian Yi always felt uneasy, many things were hidden murderous motives, King Ning's handling, and the cabinet's strategy, if there was an accident, it would be a big basket.
"Xu Tongzheng, I advise you, there are enough things in Daming now, you better restrain yourself and let the big guys live a peaceful life. I'm now presiding over the Beijing Inspection, assessing hundreds of officials, don't make it difficult for me. ”
Xu Jingchang smiled all over his face, "Jian Tianguan, you have to believe me, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to me who knows how to calm things and calm people the most, don't worry, with me, there will definitely be no problems." ”
Xu Jingchang slapped his chest crackling, but Jian Yi didn't feel relieved at all, on the contrary, he was creepy, and goosebumps popped up.
Grandma's, if this kid is not honest, even if he fights for my old life, he will use the opportunity of Jingcha to completely expel this tumor from the court, the Ming Dynasty does not need such a thing.
In a blink of an eye, Zhu Di gathered several courtiers to discuss the specific plan for tax recovery...... Yang Rong and other cabinet bachelors are all listed, and Hanlin bachelor Xie Jin has participated for the first time since he turned over from salted fish.
Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, and Xu Jingchang, the general political envoy, as the main admonitor, are browsing the strategy in advance and know it in their hearts.
"Xu Tongzheng, how do I think these two strategies, they are almost the same! It's just that the old banknotes are discounted by seventy, and one does not need to be discounted, and the tax is deducted according to the original price. I'm not wrong, right? Xia Yuanji was puzzled: "There is no difference, what are you doing with two parts?" ”
Xu Jingchang smiled and said nothing, and pointed to the third part.
Xia Yuanji unfolded it, only read two pages, and then frowned, "This is completely messy, what do you say to follow the case of King Ning and trace all the tax arrears since the founding of the Ming Dynasty...... If this is the case, the whole world will be in chaos, and all the businessmen will be ruined. We are going to collect taxes, not to exterminate merchants. ”
Xu Jingchang nodded, "That's why I prepared those two copies." ”
"But the two points are the same!"
"That's right, that's why Your Majesty needs to pick one!"
"What's the difference between picking and not picking is not a line?" Xia Yuanji frowned, and suddenly, he realized something, and subconsciously stretched out a thumbs up.
This skill is very good, and I will have to learn it in the future.
The two of them communicated similarly, the eunuch Hou Xian came over, and the two of them, together with several cabinet scholars, went to meet Zhu Di together.
The three plans were placed in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di hurriedly unfolded, the first two were similar, he didn't look at them a few times, he threw them aside, but the third one, after he unfolded it, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Calling out to his confidant, he couldn't help but ask, "Who wrote this?" ”
Xie Jin was stunned for a moment and stood up, "Back to Your Majesty's words, this is written by the minister." ”
Zhu Di smiled: "Yes, it is very appropriate to trace the tax arrears here." There is also half of the silver, which is also very agreeable. Only from the first year of Hongwu can be regarded as a part, and it will be from the thirty-first year of Hongwu, so that it is proper. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji, "If you don't have any other opinions, just follow this strategy!" It seems that I am really right to reinstate the Bachelor. ”
Xia Yuanji's old face darkened, and Xu Jingchang also changed color.
Zhu Di, why don't you play according to the routine?
Xu Jingchang groaned slightly, and immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, the purpose of rectifying finances and taxes this time is to enrich the treasury and complete Your Majesty's entrustment at the beginning of the year." ”
Zhu Di nodded, "That's right, the solution to the bachelor's solution is immediate, and it will definitely enrich the treasury, I look very good." ”
Xu Jingchang cried, "Your Majesty, if you follow this method, the treasure money will completely collapse, and it will become similar to waste paper at that time, no matter what, you can't do this." ”
Xia Yuanji also reacted, and didn't care about complaining that Xu Jingchang was smart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not new to chase taxes like this." At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a reckless man, and that was the case. The minister thought that this law was a matter of gravity to the people, not a long-term strategy. Even if it can temporarily fill the treasury, it will leave endless troubles, and it is definitely not the work of the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, please let Your Majesty know it! ”
Zhu Di rolled his eyelids, picked up three more strategies, looked at them repeatedly, and soon Zhu Di said again: "It's not good, it's still not good." In addition to understanding the strategy of the bachelor, both of them said that they would register the merchants, and then only let them pay the taxes since last year. And they also agreed to pay for it with old treasure money. I've heard for a long time that the old treasure money has always been only a dozen pennies, which is not much better than waste paper, and I asked you to enrich the treasury and collect such useless things, what do I rely on to make a good effort? How to promote national prestige? ”
Zhu Di snorted: "Could it be that you can't prevaricate? ”
Xu Jingchang really wants to slap his two mouths, Zhu Di really doesn't understand this product!
"Your Majesty, both old and new treasure banknotes are sent out by the imperial court. As a result, because of the over-issuance over the years, the old treasure banknotes were discounted too quickly, and even the new treasure banknotes fell endlessly. Now only the imperial court can stabilize the value of the treasure banknote by first recognizing the value of the treasure banknote and gradually recycling the old treasure banknote. Only by stabilizing the value of the treasure banknote can we hope to fill the deficit in the treasury in a short period of time. ”
Xia Yuanji also simply said, "Your Majesty, the minister has calculated that the tax on land and Ding needs to be reduced or reduced, and it is impossible to overcharge, and the collection of commercial tax is too much involved, and it may not be able to fill the deficit for a while...... The easiest way to do this is to restore the value of the treasure banknote and then ......"
He stopped.
Zhu Di stiffened his face, stared at the two ministers, and said coldly: "Then what? I didn't see it at all in this strategy, what are you two hiding from me? ”
Although Zhu Di has no experience in finance and taxation, he is clear about the careful thinking of his subordinates.
Especially Xu Jingchang, this little rabbit cub has never done anything good.
"Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to hide it, if everything goes well. In addition, Hanwang successfully issued a loan...... After the autumn harvest, the people would have borrowed money to cultivate the land to avoid exploitation by the gentry. At that time, it will not be difficult to issue double or double the amount of treasure money. ”
Zhu Di frowned, "Is it double, or double?" You make it clear. ”
Xu Jingchang was helpless, so he could only say: "At least more than one and a half times." ”
At this time, Zhu Di finally showed a little smile, "This is about the same, since you have money, you will allocate two million to me first, and I will compile the Yongle Canon." By the way, let Master Xie serve as the chief officer, and by the way, recruit hundreds of erudite Confucian scholars to study with him...... Eat, drink, and Lazar, find a way. ”
Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji were even more speechless, how could there be such a thing, before the money arrived, they had to spend it?
This is the Ming Dynasty, is it too much for you to engage in advanced consumption?
"Your Majesty, do you think you can let the big guys repair the books for free first, and then pay the big guys when they succeed?"
Zhu Di snorted: "Xu Jingchang, don't eat today, I will give you six meals tomorrow, how about it?" ”
What, there's still one today...... Three changes a day, irregular changes...... Please, big guys, for your support.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
