However, everything seems to be destined by God, and every time it is a little worse!

"General, it seems that the enemy has set up camp there, and he does not intend to pass by here!"

Damn, why is this just now!

First of all, the place where the enemy's 200,000 troops were stationed, it was less than ten miles away from the place where they were ambushed, and the march was less than half an hour!

And now that the sun is still bright, and it's not dark, why don't you leave?

If they take another half of the eczema, when the sun is about to set, it will be the place where they are ambushing, and then they can use the trap they have set up to inflict heavy damage on the enemy!

But they preferred to stop at a position ten miles from here, as if they knew that there was an ambush here!

Are they waiting here until tomorrow? Wait for them to come on the march, and then use the remaining traps to disturb them?

What a joke, it's freezing here, and they're almost frozen to death after just two hours here, and when the sun goes down at night, it's bound to get even colder.

Keeping vigil here, I am afraid that most of them have already frozen to death before the enemy army comes.

How good is that?

Camped? If you are not afraid of being discovered by the enemy, set up camp and make a fire!

But things have come to this point, do you have to give up like this?

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Now the leading general was annoyed, and even the soldiers behind him were resentful at this time.

Not stationed in the morning, not stationed in the evening, but stationed in front of their eyes.

"General, what should I do?"

At this time, this general is also in a dilemma, retreating now means that their previous efforts are in vain, and staying here is just useless, and it may even lose all the troops in their hands now.

"What else can I do, if I don't catch them today, no matter how I think about it, I will lose money!"

"The whole army obeys the order, we will destroy all these traps, and wait until tonight, attack the enemy's camp at night, and burn all their food, grass and supplies!"

They didn't have much food and grass in the first place, and now they don't know where to get it, so when they were relaxing in the evening, a fire burned all their remaining grain and grass, which would be a great achievement at that time.

"Okay, we can't let the soldiers stay here all afternoon in vain, and they haven't caught anything, they have to dig a piece of meat from them!"

"Good!"

"The whole army obeys the order, huddles together to keep warm, rests on the spot, and when it is night, we will rush to kill the enemy camp!"

……

"Back to Your Majesty, it's morning now, but it's just because of winter, so it's not dawn yet!"

In the palace, Zhu Gaoyao sat on a chair, he didn't know how many cups of tea he drank last night, and he didn't know how many times he went to the toilet.

"Haha, I didn't sleep all night!"

"Your Majesty should pay attention to the health of the dragon's body, if you don't sleep this night, it's not something ordinary people can survive!"

The eunuch next to him was worried about reminding, but how did a person of Zhu Gao's age sleep?

"What is about to happen today makes me unable to sleep!"

Even on the day he took the Snow Dragon train, Zhu Gaoyi was not so excited.

Because today is the day of the official issuance of banknotes, and it has reached the scheduled deadline of one month!

The banknotes printed in advance have already been transported to various places in Daming by horse-drawn carriage, waiting to be issued to the public this morning.

Moreover, officials from all over the country have already greeted those merchants, and when the time comes, merchants from all over the country will rush to the government to exchange this kind of banknote.

Because Zhu Gaoli has added an additional provision, that is, businessmen need to pay taxes in a stepwise manner.

Those whose annual income is less than 30 taels of silver only need to submit about 3 percent of the tax, while the range of 32 to 100 taels requires 500 to 500 taels, which directly soars to 10 percent.

And so on, the higher the income, the higher the tax paid, until it reaches more than 10,000 taels, and the cap tax of 50% will be reached.

Although the businessmen may be very reluctant in the face of this kind of tax, but now all the power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Zhu Gaojiao, if anyone dares to resist, he will be directly charged with a crime of disrespecting the will, and the head will fall to the ground, and the door will be beheaded!

Do you dare not listen?

Moreover, Zhu Gaojiao also assured the public that a large part of the money collected from the rich businessmen would be used to build schools and subsidize poor peasants!

It will also provide them with jobs and a sustainable and stable income.

After all, after the beginning of spring next year, Zhu Gaojiao will vigorously develop infrastructure construction across the country.

Although potatoes will not be mass-produced next year, sweet potatoes have already been implemented nationwide!

Although sweet potatoes can't make you eat very much, they may be nutritious enough, but they can also make people starve to death.

When the population exploded, coupled with the application of the steam engine, a large number of redundant labor was generated, and in the era when the society did not have enough employment conditions and opportunities, such as the Great Depression and economic crisis, the best way was to create countless jobs through the country's big projects!

And where does the state get all this money?

Zhu Gaojiao said, I can make paper money, and I will be short of money.

As long as it is this kind of national construction, advance project, or loan project, will it be possible to turn on the money printing machine?

As long as these funds are allowed to flow into the value they should have, it is completely impossible to cause economic turmoil or inflation, and it can also stimulate and drive economic development and increase social wealth.

Otherwise, you think that there is more and more money in circulation, how did this money come from?

Moreover, Zhu Gaoyao also formulated an inheritance tax on a whim.

This kind of taxation is in the process of rapid development, and the state uses it to forcibly adjust the class gap between high-income and low-income groups.

Because in the high stage of development, the children of the rich are basically rich, and the children of the poor are difficult to become rich.

That's why there is such a tax!

However, the purpose of Zhu Gao's establishment of this tax was not to force the gap to be narrowed, but to let these merchants take the initiative to exchange part of their money for paper money, so that the purchasing power and credibility of this kind of paper money could be guaranteed to a large extent.

Because a new regulation is the use of paper money to pay taxes, which can reduce the total tax revenue by 20%!

Don't underestimate this 20 percent, like those big businessmen on the rich side, they can reduce taxes by tens of thousands of taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels.

Although there is a certain risk, the risk is less than the benefit! (End of chapter)
