106. Hang people's appetites

"I came to the Criminal Department a few days ago, you know about it!" Zhang Muzhi got up and said, "Obviously, Li Cunyi poisoned my sister, but I can't defend it!" ”

"Fortunately, my medical skills are superb! Sister suffered a lot of sins to survive! Zhang Muzhi, "Do you know? But although Sister Ah was saved, the poison stayed in her body for a long time, and she is very weak now, just like your wife before! ”

Zhu Biao thought of the crown princess Chang, and couldn't help but think of Yun Shu, and suddenly felt very sorry.

"And Li Shanchang insisted that I was the one who gave the curse, just ask me a disciple of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who is orthodox in Taoism, how could he learn things from other sects, and it is impossible to be ridiculous enough to learn shamanic witchcraft!"

"Someone wants to be unfavorable to his Li family, why do you want to put the hat of this crime on my head?"

Zhu Biao hurriedly said, "Isn't this matter already resolved?" ”

"Resolved?" Zhang Muzhi said, "Do you think this matter will be over?" ”

"But it has nothing to do with what we're going to talk about today!" Zhu Biao was puzzled.

"Doesn't matter?" Zhang Muzhi said, "What if I walk out of the gate of the Criminal Department now and am immediately shot and killed, and my method has not been finished?" ”

Zhang Muzhi sneered, he got up and patted Zhu Biao's shoulder and said, "Do you say it matters?" ”

"In broad daylight, how can it be ......"

Zhang Muzhi got up and gagged his mouth, "Isn't it daylight on the day Your Majesty rises today, but the snow drifts into his eyes?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang behind the wall heard it very clearly, this is a point of himself.

"Your Majesty, this kid actually dares to ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glared at Mao Xiang, "You go check first, is it true that he said that the tea tax rose by three hundred and sixty times when he was Emperor Yuan Shun!" ”

"Yes!" Mao Xiang walked out of the room in a gloomy manner.

"Then send someone to escort you home!" Zhu Biao said busily.

"Wouldn't I have no freedom then?" Zhang Muzhi, "I can't go out for a walk, I heard that the painting boats on the Qinhuai River are very good, I haven't seen them yet!" ”

"But you're a Taoist priest!" Zhu Biao hurriedly admonished.

"I'm a righteous person, not a true person. The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the three clear hearts remain! ”

"So, what do you say?"

Zhang Muzhi suddenly sighed and said, "Let's talk about this tea tax first!" ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Biao immediately responded.

"Although the tea tax in this dynasty has been reduced a lot compared with the previous dynasty, the main focus is a low tax rate, but the system of the Song Dynasty is still used!"

Zhang Muzhi, "Speaking of which, this method may be able to solve a temporary dilemma, but it is actually a return to the glory of the monopoly system." ”

"Think about it, the current emperor can do low tax rates. But can he guarantee that the next emperor will not raise the tax rate? But this is tantamount to an early overdraft! ”

"Any benefit that you get in advance will have to pay a certain price in the end!" Zhang Muzhi, "What do you say? ”

"Whether this country shares the world with the family or the martial arts, the largest base that can make up the world is thousands of ordinary people!" Zhang Muzhi said, "So I don't have to continue to talk about it, I understand it after thinking about it!" ”

"It is not advisable to cancel the tea tax, it is just how to collect it!" Zhang Muzhi said, "In order to avoid the situation as said, it is necessary to fix the tax collection ratio!" ”

"What if, at some point, the treasury is empty, and you have to need a tea tax to temporarily increase revenue?" Zhu Biao raised his own questions.

This is a very common thing, sometimes the court overcollects taxes, and sometimes it is tax-free when it is in a good mood.

"The tea tax doesn't have to be collected at the same time as the tea farmers." Zhang Muzhi.

"Isn't this the method that this dynasty is using now!" Zhu Biao was puzzled, "Merchants need to hand over tea to sell tea!" ”

"Then do you need to pay tea tax when you open a teahouse?" Zhang Muzhi immediately asked.

"Not really!" Zhu Biao said, "You mean that teahouses also have to pay tea tax?" ”

"Naturally!" Zhang Muzhi nodded.

"Wouldn't that be more tax!"

"No, the number of tea tax links has increased, and the tax that tea farmers have to pay will be less!"

"If the tea farmer pays the tax, will the price of tea be higher!"

Zhu Biao nodded in approval.

"Is that equivalent to the tea merchant paying the tea tax for the tea farmer!"

"Did the tea merchant pay for the tea tax from the tea house?"

"Is the tea tax paid by tea drinkers?" Zhang Muzhi said, "It may be difficult for you to get one person to pay ten yuan, but is it still difficult to make ten people pay a total of ten yuan?" ”

"Naturally, it's a lot easier!"

"And the inferior tea has less taxes, and the people who bear them are ordinary people, which is reasonable!"

"And the high-quality tea is facing the high-ranking officials and nobles, who receive a high amount of money, and if it is not good, it may be possible to loot the people's fat and ointment, and take out their money to pay for the tea tax?"

"Naturally!"

"Then these people don't care if the price is high or not?"

"I don't care, isn't that right!" Zhang Muzhi said, "Of course, the tea tax can be more diversified, and I will talk about it in detail another day if the time is limited!" ”

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "But this only solves the problem of tea farmers, not the problem of tea and horse markets!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was behind the wall, also nodded approvingly, although the link of tea tax was extended.

But looking at it this way, as long as you drink tea, you have to pay taxes, so that the people of the whole Ming Dynasty will bear this tea tax together, and through the poor quality of tea, let the rich bear more, and the ordinary people bear less!

Moreover, buying and drinking tea is completely voluntary, and there is no coercion!

According to this method, not only did the tax revenue of tea farmers increase their enthusiasm, but also the tea tax, which was one of the major revenues of the imperial court, did not decrease.

"I didn't expect that just a few steps would have such an effect!" Zhu Yuanzhang was pleasantly surprised for a while, and his complexion returned to normal.

"This kid is right, the tax ratio of the tea tax must be fixed, and it cannot be changed at will!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "But if the tea tax gap is not enough to make up for it, it will not work!" ”

"I can't wait to hear this kid continue to talk about this!"

Zhang Muzhi said, "No, I'm tired of talking today!" ”

"What?" Zhu Biao said, "You ate five meatloaf today, but I paid for it!" ”

"Why are you so stingy, isn't the one I told you worth the cost of this meal?" Zhang Muzhi picked his teeth and said, "Besides, do you feel wronged and you went to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask for money!" ”

"You ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang behind the wall was laughed angrily, "This kid is really a scoundrel, how did Zhang Tianshi train such a disciple!" ”

"One more thing, I said before, what if I was talking about a critical step out of the execution department and had an accident?" Zhang Muzhi said, "There is not much time left for you, think about it!" ”

I don't know if he said this to Zhu Biao or to Zhu Yuanzhang behind the wall!

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Biao saw him open the door and leave.

"Class is over, I'm going back!"
