"Hit a stick, give a sugar date, this is the way of the emperor, I know, this tax reform is too extreme, so desperate that people go crazy, there is always a bowl of mild decoction, so that these people can calm down and raise incorruptible silver, it is this bowl of decoction."

Zhu Gaoxian said slowly, "Officials are greedy and have heard of it from time to time, so they have set up this name, and they want it to be honest officials as the name suggests." Knowing that the minister is not enough, it is determined that China and foreign countries raise two incorruptible silver, and the treasures above are not counted when they are old. According to the wealth of the local government and the achievements of the officials, a certain amount of pension silver is issued, and the figure of the maintenance is 50 to 100 times the original salary.

"For example, Lu Chaoyang, as the tax envoy of Zhengerpin, his salary is equivalent to 440 taels, and in view of his political achievements, he should be issued more than 40,000 taels of incorruptible silver by the end of the year."

Yao Guangxiao touched the bare monk's head and asked, "Is this silver from the treasury?" ”

"Raising incorruptible silver is counted as a fortune, and of course it comes from the treasury."

"The world is so big, and the officials are as numerous as ants, have you ever thought that with such a huge amount of incorruptible silver, does the treasury have any silver to distribute?"

"The treasury has money, and it is not ordinary money."

Zhu Gaoxian tapped his fingers on the armrest, "The tax collected in the half of this year alone is enough to issue this huge amount of incorruptible silver, and the so-called incorruptible silver is taken from the official and used by the official." ”

Raising incorruptible silver, from Tian Wenjing, the minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

During the ten years that Tian Wenjing governed Henan, he was praised by the world as the world's best political achievement.

This person is from the Han army. Although the so-called Han army was also Han Chinese, they had already submitted to the Qing Dynasty when the Qing regime was still in the northeast.

Therefore, even if these Han soldiers did not participate in the imperial examination, they had other ways to become officials. Tian Wenjing is one of them, he also started as a petty official, and after many years of working at the grassroots level, he slowly climbed to the position of a bachelor in the cabinet.

It was in this position that he leaned on Prince Yong's Yinzhen and became Prince Yong's guest, this Prince Yong, later named Emperor Yongzheng, benefited from standing in line, Tian Wenjing's career was like a cloud.

If you don't care about the character and position of this benevolent brother, judging from his methods, he is indeed a masterpiece of a generation.

"It really is...... Very ingenious. ”

Yao Guangxiao was holding the Buddha beads in his hand, and he was thinking about Zhu Gaoxian's strategy in his heart.

He is very accomplished in the way of governing the country, and he can naturally understand the intention of raising incorruptible silver, to be honest, raising incorruptible silver is not very clever, and if it is not used well, it can even be said to be a stinky chess.

Man's greed is like a snow mass on a high mountain, which grows bigger and bigger, until it becomes uncontrollable and explodes, causing an avalanche. Raising incorruptible silver cannot satisfy people's greed, except that it will lead to the economic collapse of the country, which is meaningless.

However, if the maintenance of incorruptible silver is combined with the tax supervision institute, it is very subtle.

The turmoil caused by the Tax Inspectorate is too great, and if it cannot be controlled, it will be like embarking on the old road of the Hongwu Dynasty.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance for corruption was zero, and he did more than Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian at least left a way for corrupt officials to live, and Zhu Yuanzhang killed them all. The slaughter brought not a clean country, but a more chaotic country, and the officials knew that it was very risky to be a corrupt official in the Hongwu Dynasty, but they still took risks, because if they were not corrupt, they would also be a dead end.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's Yulu is not so low, and it is no problem to support the family in Hukou for a year, but it is far from enough to rely on Yulu for officials...... Which one is not allowed to ask for money, the official of the second grade only has more than 400 taels a year, and it will be gone if he spends it casually, can he not be greedy?

However, the emergence of cheap silver can make up for this shortcoming.

The officials of the second grade have tens of thousands of taels of incorruptible silver every year, and the source of these tens of thousands of taels of incorruptible silver is the tax that the local area could not collect before, and the black tax and white tax are intertwined, and they all have to be collected.

In order to ensure that these taxes can be collected, Zhu Gaoxian's policy of setting up a tax supervision institute is also groundbreaking for the first time, and in addition, even whether the tax supervision yuan itself will be corrupted is not leaked.

All things, everything is ridiculous to pull out, but after being linked together by Zhu Gaoxian, a very delicate state of peace is maintained.

The existence of the Tax Supervision Yuan, the Tax Supervision Department, the Tax Department and the Honest Silver Conservation Department cannot guarantee the extinction of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, but it can suppress the phenomenon of corruption in the Ming Dynasty, reduce the appearance of corruption among corrupt officials, cultivate a huge number of honest officials, and ensure that officials can live a very prosperous life without corruption.

The most important thing is that the country's fiscal revenue has increased dramatically.

White tax and black tax, each tax is a huge astronomical amount.

Previously, the Ming Dynasty collected taxes, and what could really be collected could not even be called the tip of the iceberg, with a figure of one to five percent.

If it can reach five percent, it is enough to call it a prosperous era, the country is prosperous, and the border army is strong.

And Zhu Gaoxian unveiled this cloth, showing the true appearance of the iceberg, which can reach 30% at least, how terrifying is this?

The income of the Ming Dynasty this year must be at least five times that of previous years!

"In terms of seniority, people are sophisticated, and they have a long history, and all kinds of personnel are in the hazy mist, hard steel is useless, and things are done slowly."

Zhu Gaoxian sighed and said, "The same is true of the way to govern the country, if the next medicine can get rid of the disease, but the country itself cannot bear the medicine, in the end, the life-saving medicine for the disease has become the arsenic for killing." With this move, the young master thought I was in a hurry, but he didn't know that it was extremely slow. ”

Yao Guangxiao said with emotion: "In governing the country, you are far better than me, you are really a fairy method, these things you do, each of them is actually not a panacea, ordinary people can also do." What is really difficult is to connect everything together without leaving hidden dangers, and this clever political method has taught me a lesson. ”

Speaking of this, the black-clothed prime minister bowed down and was about to make a big salute.

Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly supported the old monk's body and said, "Young master, don't torture me, how can I afford your old worship." ”

"As far as the matter is concerned, your words today have really benefited me a lot, and I can afford to worship me."

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and exclaimed, "There are clouds in the left, and there will be a king in five hundred years, and its rise and death will also be sudden." First there was Taizu strong, expelled foreign races, and then there is the current Majesty, sweeping the world with the power of a place, I thought that there was no successor to the Ming Dynasty, I never thought that there was such a king as you who is better than Taizu and His Majesty today, you, really opened my eyes. ”

He also thought that this Zhu Gaoxian was in a hurry to do things in a hurry as soon as he became the prince, and his way of doing things was also very stupid, but now it seems that the new prince has clearly been prepared, and has laid a net of heaven and earth, including the world, not leaking, and every step is interlocking.

Zhu Gaoxian smiled lightly: "Young Master, the matter is not over yet, let's take a look?" ”

"Then take a look?"

"Take a look."

……

After a short period of cooling, the prefect of Hangzhou, Sun Futai, also calmed down.

He realized that the officials of the tax supervision department in front of him who came to collect taxes did not seem to be ordinary people, and the method of handling the eucalyptus was also heard of, but Sun Futai had also come over in the wind and waves, and he had never seen any battles, so he had made up his mind what to do.

Sun Futai said with a smile: "This lord, let's not worry, I will naturally pay the tax." ”

The inspector of the tax supervision department was stunned for a moment: "Why did you suddenly become so sensible?" ”

"That's natural, I also understand your difficulties, adult, after collecting taxes, you can follow the above mentioned past, you are all officials, I understand, but ......"

Sun Futai said with a smile, "How to collect taxes, isn't it your lord, you don't have a word, the silver bricks in this cellar, just a sack, are all your whole year's money." This cellar, I'll give it to adults, isn't it just for this bit of silver that we are officials, you see that you have been busy for a long time, and finally this silver has to be handed over to the court, where is there to put it in your own pocket. Isn't it a secret to you, our political envoy in Zhejiang, what I also said, wouldn't it be beautiful to say a few kind words for you in front of that person? ”

He likes silver, but he's not stupid.

In front of him, these officials of the tax supervision department are violent, obviously the lake can't get over, Sun Futai's idea is to send these people away first, solve the problem, as long as he is still in the position of Hangzhou prefect, there is a way to make money.

Later, the political envoy of Zhejiang was moved out in order to put pressure on the other party and warn the other party that he had a backer behind him, and he was also an official in Zhejiang, so he had to give some face.

However, Sun Futai didn't expect that the inspector's face changed greatly when he heard this: "You fucking want me to die, fuck you, get out of the way!" ”

He kicked Sun Futai to the ground and looked around in horror.

Sun Futai does not understand the system of the tax supervision department, but he, as an inspector, knows it.

From the Beijing Central Tax Supervision Institute to the provincial tax supervision department, there are officials in each department of the "tax department". The tax department hides its identity in the system of each tax supervision department, and it seems that they are ordinary tax supervision officials, but in fact, their main task is to keep an eye on the officials in the tax supervision department system, see who is corrupted, and then report it to their superiors.

Tax officials, knowing the law and breaking the law, will be punished by ten degrees, this is not a joke.

In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary officials embezzled more than 60 taels and were sentenced to death.

But if you are greedy for more than 60 taels in the tax supervision department, you will directly punish the nine clans.

There are more than sixty taels in this cellar! casually took a silver brick and stuffed it into his pocket and was seen by the mysterious tax officer, which was enough to sentence him, the inspector, to the nine clans!

These nine clans are like a joke when they are killed!

An official of the Tax Supervision Department, who was counting the amount of silver bricks in the cellar, inadvertently glanced at his inspector with a cold look in his eyes.

He really hoped that this inspector could be more or less greedy, as long as he caught the tail and sent this inspector from the fourth rank to prison, he would be promoted to three levels on the spot.

It's a pity that this inspector was not tempted by Sun Futai's conditions.

Sun Futai was kicked overnight and almost vomited out, but the inspector was still not angry, waved his hand and said: "Come on, put this beast surnamed Sun in the prison to await trial, and still want me to collect money, is this to make my nine clans go up in smoke!" ”

"Why do you want to suppress me as a political envoy, it's not in a system, and our tax superintendent is afraid of him?"

"Listen to me, act diligently today to finish checking the black tax surnamed Sun, and tomorrow I will check on the political envoy to see how greedy this political envoy is!"

"You have to pay my taxes honestly to the tax superintendent!"
