"But fifth brother, if you collect taxes like this, how should you do it?" Zhu Biao is more stable after all, although he also understands that the light commercial tax is only cheaper, but he also takes into account more practical problems.

"If, as you say, every time a commercial tax is levied, don't you have to approve and ascertain the account books in the names of each merchant?"

"It's okay to have two families, if the family is like this, how much energy does the court need to invest? How much manpower and material resources will be spent? ”

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly. "If this is really the case, don't talk about the household department, I'm afraid that all the officials of the court will go into battle, and it will not be enough to apply."

"And the amount of money and food spent in it will be enormous. Maybe even if the business tax is collected, it will be beyond the means. ”

Zhu Su was stunned, and after a little thought, it is indeed as Zhu Biao said, there are indeed many problems in wanting to increase business taxes like this.

After all, the proposal to increase the commercial tax was just an idea for him to pat his head at this time, because he wanted to get money, so he naturally remembered to take the tax brake blade. After all, the problem of the tax system of the Ming Dynasty is well known even in later generations.

But he still thought too simply, and underestimated the difficulty of collecting commercial taxes. The agricultural tax only needs to be levied in summer and autumn, but the commercial tax never stops at four o'clock a year. Every summer and autumn, the household department has to be busy, what if the household has to calculate the business tax according to the income?

In this era, there are not many technological means that later generations will help regulate and calculate, nor will there be any such strong government execution. There are still so many tax evasions in later generations, let alone the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Could it be that the imperial court will not do anything else from now on, and will focus on fighting wits and courage with these profiteers?

Zhu Biao saw through it at a glance, but he was still complacent...... can only say that if you remove the farsighted insight brought by the identity of the traverser, your ability to govern is really not very good......

"It's going to be rolled out in full swing right away, of course it's not possible." Lao Zhu also has his own plans. "But with such a big loophole in the tax system, it must not be left for future generations."

"Lao Wu's method is very good, even if there is no way to immediately make up the basket from the root, as long as there is one or two benefits, it will help the court survive this period."

"In our opinion, it is better to record this method in the Da Ming Law first, and let go of this loophole first, so as not to let those bureaucrats in later generations take our ancestral system and suppress the kings of later generations."

"Then, start on a small scale and experiment with the new tax system, Lao Wu, didn't you also say that you can't just look at theory, you have to start from reality, and do a lot of experiments to know what things are?"

"Maybe this new tax system is really going to be? If it is collected, it will also solve the urgent need of today. ”

"Persimmon must be picked up first soft pinch, and it is a hard bone to fully roll out the new tax system. Let's look at the quick plan, we still have to start from the east of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"As long as we can get those gold and silver mines, we can issue treasure banknotes and establish a treasure bank......

Lao Zhu's realm is a step higher than Zhu Biao, he didn't think about it overnight, he just wanted to use the name of changing the tax system to collect enough money and food to tide over the difficulties and levy the widow.

By the way, make up for the basket of your own maladministration, so as not to harm your children and grandchildren......

"Juhachi, where do you start?" Queen Ma asked.

"The girl asked this, naturally it was those officials in the court!" Lao Zhu smiled coldly. "Those officials, fooled us into making a business tax of thirty taxes and one one, and their own families are afraid that they have accumulated countless amounts of money!"

"They took great pains to make such a big leak, how can they not stay under this and steal oil to eat!"

"Since they swallowed our money, we must make them all spit it out!"

……

Seongseongseong, the Korean government.

"Gong Li, take care of it!" In the study room in the house, a certain waiter in the household department was dressed in civilian clothes and saluted Li Shanchang. One of them is extremely humble to the end.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Li Shanchang smiled slightly, sat on the chair, but straightened his waist and accepted the salute without moving. The two exchanged a few more polite words, and when the waiter saw Li Shanchang holding the tea, he said goodbye, and left the mansion through the back door under the leadership of the Li Mansion.

“…… Counting this person, today is the seventh. By Li Shanchang's side, the eldest son Li Qi, who had been quietly by his side, looked worried.

"Father, you have given great favor to the officials of the court and the central government by proposing the issue of banknotes to Your Majesty...... Is this a risky matter? In case it arouses His Majesty's suspicions......"

"Hu Xiang's experience is not far away, you have already sent a ...... Isn't it good to live in the house for a long time? Why do you need to step into this muddy water of the DPRK and China again? ”

That's right, Li Shanchang's initiative to issue banknotes does have his own selfish motives.

You must know that since ancient times, coinage has been a great deal for officials in the DPRK and China. The benefits are enough to make people rush to it, and all dynasties and dynasties, and even for the right to mint coinage, the various yamen have fought with each other.

This is especially true when you need to mint coins with expensive copper ore, let alone just print a few pieces of paper and use them as moneymakers.

All the officials in the DPRK and China are human spirits, how can they not smell the smell of oil? Li Shanchang, as the former leader of the court, once led the world's money and grain for Lao Zhu, and was the first person to advocate the issuance of banknotes.

Even if he entrusts all the power of the treasure money, it is not uncommon for him to be entrusted with all of them. You must know that Li Shanchang is praised as the "Xiao He" of the Ming Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the treasure money, this Korean duke, who was getting farther and farther away from the center of power because of the imprisonment of his Zhishi and his disciple Hu Weiyong, and the arrest of all the civil officials in Huaixi, gradually became hot among the "Qingliu" officials who were originally inseparable from him.

"Child's view." Faced with his son's worries, Li Shanchang seemed disdainful.

"Now that the clear stream has become a general trend, it is better to take advantage of the situation than to sit and wait for death. For his father, he used the matter of treasure money to hook up with the officials, which is clear, but in fact, he is also gathering the hearts of hundreds of officials for the superiors. ”

"Most of these Qingliu officials are ministers of the Yuan Court, if there is no one to lead them, how can they do things well for my Daming?"

"Even in front of the superiors, I have a clear conscience."

Seeing that the eldest son did not listen, but gradually showed suspicion, Li Shanchang sighed.

"Speaking of which, at my father's age, he is still so diligent in his work, and it is not for the sake of you children and grandchildren."

"You are mediocre and useless. There is still some friendship between the father and the superior, and the iron coupon may also be able to make it. But if it is the crown prince or even the next generation, how can the Zhu family take care of our old achievements? ”

"When the time comes, if you are an official, if there are one or two dissatisfactions, the descendants of the Zhu family will take the opportunity to turn over Hu Weiyong's old accounts...... My Li family is ruined, only in an instant! ”

"If you can't hold the power of the court......"

"My son doesn't want to, my family is already the home of the national prince, and I am extremely favored. As long as you don't embezzle, don't seize power, and work hard, you will naturally not offend the royal family, but it is your father who woos the courtiers, not only can you not protect yourself......" Li Qi retorted.

"Confused!" Li Shanchang's face suddenly changed, and he reprimanded: "If you don't offend people, people will offend you." Honestly, how can you keep the family business? ”

"Needless to say, the Father's mind has been decided. I knew the superior in Weimo, and I know him best as a person. It's going to be fine. ”

“…… Be. "The father is the son, and Li Qi can't say anything, but looking at his father's back that has straightened up again in the past few days, he still has a very deep worry in his heart.

You and Your Majesty have known each other in Weimo, why not Hu Weiyong? Everyone says that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and how can others be allowed to sleep soundly while talking...... However, you are bent on passing on the phase to your disciple Hu Weiyong, and privately teaching the power of the court, so that you can continue to hold the power of the court behind the scenes.

His Majesty's arrest of Hu Weiyong, the abolition of the phase, and the destruction of the Huaixi civil official party are enough to show that he is very jealous of someone in the court trying to seize power. You have been promoted to the rank of Korean prince and ranked first among the founding fathers, but why can't you let go of the power in your hands and are bent on stepping into this Vanity Fair?

Your Majesty praises you as Xiao He, but you are afraid of yourself, and you are not willing to be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Instead, he wants to go one step further and be the Ming Dynasty's Huo Guang and the eldest grandson Wuji!
