seems to suddenly understand why Zhu Gaochi is so spicy and fat!

It is also unlucky to have such a dog father on the stall.

Zhu Di doesn't understand finance and taxation at all, and he doesn't want to fish sustainably.

I know that I stretch out my claws and keep asking for money.

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu tried to repair an all-encompassing book, but since the twenty-first year of Hongwu, this book has not been completed in ten years, which shows that it is difficult to repair the book, is Your Majesty a little slow?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Di smiled happily: "I have already asked the Bachelor of Understanding, and he has also investigated carefully, so it is better to let him talk about it." ”

Xie Jin hurriedly bowed, "If you go back to Xu Tongzheng, it is precisely because of Emperor Taizu's ten years of work that the book has been roughly repaired, and now it only needs to be sorted out a little and the missing parts can be published in the world." Xia Guan thought that this move could not only show His Majesty's cultural rule, but also comfort Emperor Taizu, His Majesty is filial, and it should be so. ”

mentioned filial piety, Zhu Di was like a chicken blood, and hurriedly said: "That's right, what the imperial examination has not completed, I should complete it, only in this way can I comfort the spirit of the imperial examination in the sky." This is non-negotiable, it must be done, and as soon as possible. ”

At this time, Zhu Di was like the most unreasonable father of Party A, and he didn't give room for refusal at all.

"Has Your Majesty ever thought about how much it would cost to recruit so many people to repair the book?"

Zhu Di thought for a while, "Then let's talk about it." ”

Xu Jingchang glanced at Xia Yuanji, you can calculate it for him.

Xia Yuanji also bowed with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, all Confucians who enter Beijing must at least be treated as five-grade officials." They should be given a place to stay, and they should be rewarded for their daily study at the Hanlin Academy, three meals a day, and during the New Year's holidays. If you succeed in repairing a book, you must also be rewarded. Also, so many people need pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which is also a big number...... According to the minister's rough estimate, a great Confucian also needs to consume five hundred taels of silver a year. ”

Zhu Di frowned, "There are so many?" ”

Xu Jingchang added: "Your Majesty, these daily expenses are still small, if you want to repair books, you must collect rare books from all over the world, a book can cost a lot of money, and after repairing, it will be published...... How many copies does Your Majesty intend to print? How much does engraving cost? Paper, ink...... Chen couldn't imagine that he really couldn't come up with so much money right now. ”

Zhu Di listened to the words of these two people, and his face sank, "I know that it is not easy, but the more this is the case, the more we need you to be loyal to your duties and solve your worries." The matter of repairing the book can be pressed back a little, and you must do your best to enrich the treasury and let me see the income as soon as possible. Now, what I want to do, you all say no, by the end of the year, I still can't do anything, but I'm going to send you to prison! ”

……

Coming out of the Golden Palace, Xu Jingchang's face was black, and he happened to see Xie Jin, so he said quietly: "Bachelor Xie, your reinstatement this time is to recover taxes and repair books." It's not easy for a cabinet bachelor to have two major admonitions. ”

Xie Jin couldn't figure out what Xu Jingchang meant, and was about to greet him politely, but how did he know that Xu Jingchang said again: "Your flowers and plants are good?" ”

Xie Jin was suddenly shocked, what do you mean, do you want to let yourself take a gardening vacation?

Help, I'd rather die than be bullied by the landlord.

"Xu Tongzheng, the lower officials, the lower officials just respect the will to do things, whatever Your Majesty assigns, I will do. Xia Guan really didn't know what he was wrong. ”

"What's wrong? You are wrong. As a courtier, you must solve problems for your father, not cause trouble for Your Majesty. ”

Xie Jin was still confused, "Xu Tongzheng, I, I didn't cause trouble to Your Majesty!" ”

At this time, Xia Yuanji said coldly: "If you don't talk about Taizu's book repair, or talk more about the cost of book repair, and dispel Your Majesty's thoughts, you won't cause trouble to Your Majesty." ”

Isn't this a trouble for Your Majesty?

Xie Jin was dumbfounded, isn't this not causing you trouble!

This great genius suddenly understood something, in the officialdom, there are a lot of mediocre-sounding black words, such as being good for Daming, that is, good for hundreds of officials.

For example, if you don't cause trouble to Your Majesty, that is, you don't cause trouble to your ministers.

"As the Son of Heaven, there must always be the power of ignorance...... If you don't know the bad stuff, it's going to be a lot easier, you know what I mean? Xu Jingchang said.

Xie Jin nodded, "Understand, it's to deceive the Holy Hearing." ”

"Nonsense, this is to relieve the king's worries, but it is the duty of the courtiers. Bachelor Xie, you are a great talent, you can't even think about this thing, right? ”

Xie Jin's face changed again and again, and he was speechless.

At this time, Xia Yuanji sneered again: "I advise you, figure it out as soon as possible, everyone is their own person, don't embarrass each other." Bachelor Xie, don't take it as an example! ”

The three words of his own person smashed hard in Xie Jin's heart.

Your reinstatement is indeed a promotion from Your Majesty, and it seems reasonable that you are now bent on currying favor with Your Majesty.

But you have to be clear that if you can't become the "own person" of the hundred officials, sooner or later there will be gardening leave waiting for you!

What's even more speechless is that what Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji said actually boiled down to blinding the saints, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, forming a party for personal gain, and meeting the evil of the king...... It's all done by traitors, which is despicable.

But are these two traitors?

Xu Jingchang took it away and said that Xia Yuanji is a virtuous minister who is very respected by the government and the opposition, why does he also have this opinion?

Could it be that the ministers are born to dislike the Son of Heaven for many things?

A son of heaven who meets the hopes of the big guy should be honest and ignorant, honest and humble, not overly skilled, follow the rules, and not cause trouble to the courtiers?

Xie Jin suddenly felt that he had read decades of books in vain.

When it comes to being an official, he is still a mallet who doesn't know anything.

Xie Jin learned another lesson, he really can't just think about pleasing the Son of Heaven, otherwise he will offend these people, and there will be no good fruit to eat.

Let's teach a lesson together, and looking back, Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji are still worried.

"Originally, Your Majesty adopted our plan, and in the end, as long as there are benefits, it is enough to deal with Your Majesty, but now Your Majesty forces us to agree, to issue at least one and a half times more treasure money, and if it is completed, it is only to fulfill Your Majesty's requirements, and if you can't complete it, you will live up to your grace."

Xia Yuanji sighed helplessly, "Xu Tongzheng, you shouldn't say that." ”

Xu Jingchang snorted: "I don't say that, can we pass the test?" I can see it through, Your Majesty may not really understand, he wants to take the opportunity to squeeze us. Don't say anything, let's set it up. After doing this, I have to find a way, this general political envoy is really not done by people. ”

Although Xu Jingchang complained, the plan he instructed to formulate was really good and very feasible.

Jubaomen's tax card has been implemented for more than half a year and has accumulated rich experience.

All goods that pass by have to pay a tax.

The next step is to register all the commercial banks in the capital.

Some small facades and small shops can collect some taxes symbolically, but there can be no fish that slip through the net.

According to the strategy, all commercial banks and shops should go to the household department to declare truthfully...... If you haven't paid your taxes in the past year, you'll need to pay a back penalty.

Tax arrears must be punished, this is the golden rule, and it is also the result of Zhu Quan's defying the law.

It's just that this money can be compensated with old treasure money, and the household department is not discounted.

That is to say, if you spend ten yuan to buy a consistent old bill from the market, you can at least cover one hundred and fifty yuan when you get to the household.

This operation is similar to when the third brother depreciated the ruble, he used a small amount of money to repay the loan owed to Da Mao for tens of billions.

It's just that this time the court took the initiative to be the wrongdoer.

Give the shop people a chance to take advantage.

You really don't need to pay too much to solve the problem of tax arrears, and by the way, your business will be legal, and you can also be protected by the yamen.

Xu Jingchang specially arranged for the tax collector to join forces with Ying Tianfu to take action and severely crack down on the hooligans and scoundrels in the market. Anyone who extorts businessmen, even if they just take a pear, must be sent to Beiping to serve as hard labor.

This hand really shocked many people, and they used both grace and power to lure them to their advantage.

Many businessmen were obedient and took the initiative to pay their tax arrears...... In a short period of time, tens of millions of treasure money were recovered from the household department.

These worn-out coins are piled up in a mountain and placed in the household warehouse, just like a pile of butt wiping paper.

Xu Jingchang shook his head when he saw it, "I said Xia Shangshu, how many treasure money has the household department issued over the years?" ”

Xia Yuanji said with a bitter face: "How do I know...... However, it is not difficult to load another hundred and ten in such a warehouse. ”

Xu Jingchang was speechless.

However, Xia Yuanji was in a good mood, "I have already received the news, and now someone is buying old banknotes at a price of fifteen wen, twenty wen, or even higher...... If you can secretly sell the old banknotes in front of you, you can also exchange them for 1.8 million taels. ”

After saying this, Xia Yuanji's heart suddenly moved, it seems that this is not impossible!

Xu Jingchang glared at him viciously, "The current treasure money is as brittle as an egg." Any indiscriminate move can make our efforts go to waste. Hurry up and give the order to burn all these treasure money! ”

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Only by destroying these treasure banknotes can the treasure money outside be 100 times larger and stabilize the value of the currency, don't you understand this truth?" ”

Xia Yuan Yoshiro said: "Of course I understand! But I still can't bear it. ”

"You!" Xu Jingchang was furious.

Xia Yuanji was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I have already arranged it, this batch of old banknotes will be used to make pulp and reused to make new banknotes, and the old will give birth to the new, and the treasury will have money." ”

Xia Yuanji narrowed his eyes and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

With this kind of old banknotes, as well as the waste official documents of the imperial court, they are shredded to make paper, and then the treasure money is printed, and one of the biggest benefits is anti-counterfeiting.

Because the paper produced in this way will take on a blue and white color, which is very different from ordinary paper.

Since ordinary people can't get so many official documents, it is impossible to buy old banknotes and make new ones on a large scale. The cost is too high, and the money earned is not enough to lose.

Therefore, only the imperial court has this condition, which is also one of the few feasible anti-counterfeiting methods at present.

When it comes to anti-counterfeiting, Xu Jingchang suddenly thought of watermark technology, it seems that this thing is not very difficult, as long as the bottom plate of the pulp is engraved, the pulp will be unevenly thick, thus leaving an image imprint, that is, a watermark.

Xu Jingchang thought for a while, and then said: "Xia Shangshu, you said that this treasure banknote, can it be printed with His Majesty's portrait?" Convenient for authenticity? ”

Xia Yuanji's face changed suddenly, and he said in fear: "No, absolutely not." ”

"Why not?" Xu Jingchang asked.

"I'm afraid of committing a felony of great disrespect...... What should you do if you don't bring straw paper and only have treasure money at hand? ”

"I'll use the back."

"Then after you use it, you can't take it back with you, wash it and offer it, right?"

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
