Chapter 421: Xu Miaojin's Perception
"A businessman's yamen? What do you mean? Xu Miaojin asked puzzled.
Zhu Song explained: "The yamen, which specializes in managing merchants, is actually a bit general, but if it is really to supervise the behavior of merchants in buying and selling transactions, this yamen should stipulate that merchants must not trap or rip off customers, and also stipulate that the dishes in restaurants and restaurants should be as fresh as possible, and some indiscriminate dishes should not fall on the tables of guests, etc. ”
"Of course, it is also necessary to take care of taxation, for example, how much silver a merchant earns in a quarter, pay taxes according to the amount of personal income, earn more and pay more, earn less and pay less, the same how much silver each person earns every month, if it exceeds a certain amount, you have to pay taxes, and vice versa, and there are farmers, you can't just use the land to measure how much tax money you collect, some people have a large population, some people have a small population, and those with a large population will suffer, and they must collect taxes according to the population and the amount of land."
"Only the flexible but strict collection of taxes, in order to make the Ming tax really collect, now the Ming tax rules, only the tax of farmers, those who really earn a lot of silver businessmen tax is pitiful, and some businessmen have no land in their names at all, then he naturally does not need to collect taxes, but other industries can bring them dozens of taels every year, or even hundreds of thousands of taels of profits."
"This is not right, it is unfair to collect taxes from the poor but not from the rich, like the rules of our Ming Dynasty, businessmen are not allowed to wear too good clothes, can not use too good fabrics, and are not allowed to drink expensive tea, these are all palliatives but not cures, businessmen are also people, the court can not treat businessmen like tigers, as long as businessmen get proper supervision, there will be absolutely no big mess."
After listening to this, Xu Miaojin wanted to applaud Zhu Song from the bottom of his heart, what he said was really good.
"You're right, those people who rely on God to eat, they are the lowest level of society, but they are also responsible for the taxes of the imperial court, and some people's family rations have been taken away, only enough to eat for half a year, and after half a year, there is no food, they can only sell their land, and then become tenant farmers, basically unable to turn over for the rest of their lives!"
"Actually, I think that not only the taxes of those merchants should be collected, but also the taxes of those officials, except for the merchants, these adults buy the most land."
Zhu Song was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that in this era and this society, there are still people who want to go with him.
"Miaojin, you and I thought about it together, indeed, I also think that those officials should take out taxes, but ah, not all of our officials in the Ming Dynasty are corrupt officials, and those good officials, their salaries are also very low, and the officials' salaries should actually be appropriately increased, at least let the family spend enough all year round, not let the family not spend enough all year round, and the incorruptible is not raised like this."
Xu Miaojin was startled when she heard this, and quickly covered Zhu Song's mouth, looked left and right, and made sure that no one around heard her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're going to die, you! You dare to say such a thing! This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao! ”
Zhu Song grabbed Xu Miaojin's hand that was blocking his mouth.
"Even if it's Emperor Taizu Gao, my father! That's not a god, some rules are wrong is wrong, they should be changed, not only the officials want to increase the salary, but also the vassal kings' income should also be reduced, an emperor has a few sons and a dozen sons, all of them have to be crowned kings, this Ming world sooner or later there is no territory to seal, sooner or later there will be a certain number of vassal kings, and the annual amount of money given to these vassal kings is an astronomical amount! Now while the imperial court is not too heavy to return, it should begin! ”
"And I think that the emperor will also cut the feudal domain, and now he has begun to gradually reduce the number of guards and horses in the hands of each feudal king, and the next step should be to withdraw the power of participating in the local government and become a real rich prince one after another."
Xu Miaojin didn't think about it, Zhu Song This is not the rule, this is almost a reform, he, as a son, wants to overthrow all the rules set by his father, Emperor Taizu Gao.
For the first time, she felt that the man in front of her seemed to be really remarkable.
Suddenly, Xu Miaojin felt that his hand was being held by a warm big hand, and when he looked down, he was so ashamed that he wanted to die, and Zhu Song's hand was still holding his hand.
Xu Miaojin pulled it out quickly, blushing like words, Zhu Song only reacted at this time, oh, no wonder he only felt that his hand was soft and smooth just now, it turned out that he shook the hand of someone else's girl.
Zhu Song was not embarrassed to be cheeky, laughed, and said, "I'm sorry, Miaojin, I couldn't help it just now, and I was in a hurry to explain to you......"
"You don't have to explain!"
Xu Miaojin hurriedly said: "I understand what you mean, I know that you are not that kind of person, you are very powerful...... You're not what I thought you were, and I blamed you a little bit wrong. ”
Zhu Song laughed after hearing this, and brushed the hair on his sideburns.
"It's gold that always shines, Miaojin has changed my opinion, and this can be regarded as discovering my shining point, and I'm still very happy."
Xu Miaojin couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Zhu Song's cheeky words.
"You know it's going to be hard for you to put gold on your face, right?"
After listening to this, Zhu Song thought about it carefully, although it is good for the court, the country, and the people to change this way, but there is so much silver, and there are so many benefits, the people have got benefits, and the court has benefits, and there are some people who want to give up their benefits.
But it's a matter of step-by-step, starting with these businessmen, the status of businessmen in Daming is very low, even if they pinch them lightly, they won't make too much trouble.
What's more, it is also good for them to lift the sea ban, if they can't earn silver, they will naturally lose the motivation to go to sea, and if they don't have the motivation to go to sea, they won't go to sea, and they won't go to sea.
"It's hard to return, but it's good for the court and the country, and now I may not be able to see what I think, how much change I can make to the court and the Ming Dynasty, but future generations will slowly discover my good intentions today."
Miao Jin looked at Zhu Song, he never thought that a man's image could be so faceted, ruthless, scheming, and at the same time he had the world in his heart, and he was majestic and bright.
This person's life is too divided, shouldn't he have another person's soul in him?
"Sometimes I'm really curious, how did you come up with these ideas? Isn't it possible that you have another person's soul in your body to give you advice? ”
