Lao Zhang said that you kid thinks beautifully.

There are really millions of cloth slaves, and you are still in charge of the Han army?

The emperor has to let you do it!

Whimsical, wishful thinking and other idioms such as "horn" are a pass, and at the end there are some words with personal emotions.

"I'm just analyzing the feasibility of things with you from a scientific point of view, and whether they are operable, and you should also analyze my problems from a scientific point of view, instead of making unreasonable personal attacks on me."

Wang Wu hopes that Lao Zhang's attitude can be correct.

You said that in the system, the banner people can be taken into slavery by the Han people, so since there is such a provision, why can't it be used reasonably?

There is essentially no difference between receiving one coating and receiving ten hundred coats, one hundred or ten thousand coatings.

The former Ming Dynasty had tens of millions of hidden households, and the Ming Dynasty did not abolish the "contribution" regulation.

And now in the Qing Dynasty, the number of coatings is also as high as millions.

Before the Qing army entered the customs, it took away more than one million young men of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, Gyeonggi, Shandong, and Beizhili, and served as a cloth slave.

After entering the customs, when the land was enclosed, all the Han people within a radius of 500 miles from Gyeonggi were encircled into slavery, which caused a major social problem of "fugitives" throughout the early Qing Dynasty.

The arrest of fugitives was the first priority of the Qing court, and even Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, committed suicide for hiding fugitives without permission.

The intensity of the arrest can be described as unprecedented.

Xu Zhou officials set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps?

"Yanjing's banner people can forcibly occupy Han people as their slaves, I am also a banner man, and I am still a capital commander, why can't I get tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of coats?"

Wang Wu didn't say anything, it was impossible for him to turn all the millions of people in Huguang into the slaves of his royal capital.

But if you really get tens of thousands or even two or three hundred thousand, as long as Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, turns a blind eye, it may not be impossible to do it.

Because there are dozens of households paying taxes in a county, the accounts are very good.

Science, feasibility, operability, analysis, personal attacks

A series of civilized words from later generations hit Lao Zhang stunned.

I feel like I'm a bachelor who hasn't read a book.

"Just take matters into account, don't have a personal subjective consciousness, don't have any prejudices, just say if you can do this, right? If you are capable, you can rest assured, whether it is a flag or a charge, I will share one-third of you for every penny. ”

A flatbread was given.

Don't want you to be busy all the time, everyone has money.

Where did the normal tax payer on the account of the household department go, and it is difficult to explain?

It is nothing more than a natural and man-made disaster.

The local caliber is the same, and natural disasters are not common.

If Wang Wu's idea is applied to the concept of later generations, it is that he is beguiling Zhang Changgeng to engage in national and local taxes.

It is to turn the taxes that were originally handed over to the Qing court every year into two parts, the court and the local government, through certain means.

In other words, anyone who is willing to spend money to be a slave under the name of the Han army and the white flag king, in addition to paying a flag fee, will also pay one-third of the tax that the lord of the capital should have paid to the Qing court every year, which is a happy thing.

Wang Wu took one-third of the intercepted expenses, Zhang Changgeng took one-third, and the other one-third was all used to check the relationship between the upper and lower levels to ensure that all aspects were satisfied.

Don't underestimate this third, if you do it well, it can bring Wang Wu two or three hundred thousand taels of income every year.

With money, he can do things and do great things.

After the Qing army entered the customs, the tax was higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, the three salaries of the Ming Dynasty are still being collected, the national tax collected by the household department in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi is more than 33 million taels, and the first year of Kangxi is more than 3600000 taels, the total amount is not known this year, but it is definitely improving.

Because the "Western Mountain Thieves" and the "Three Feudatories" are both gold-swallowing monsters.

Huguang, as a relatively wealthy province, earned more than 3.1 million taels per year in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and now pays more than 640 taels to the Qing court, which is doubled, which is still based on the fact that the population is less than one-third.

With such a huge tax and a ready-made system loophole to exploit, can Wang Wu not be tempted?

Money, he needs money so much.

The Qing court gave Wu Sangui more than 9 million taels a year for military expenses, and it was certainly not too much for him to get hundreds of thousands of taels.

That's it, we have to continue to open up the silver road.

Because, war is about money.

If you want the soldiers to sell their lives, you have to take money to improve their living standards, so that they will have the heart to die for their confidants.

Only with money can we engage in construction and military industry.

Otherwise, everything is in the air.

In these years, it is useless to have enthusiasm and determination to die.

To be useful, the last Ming army will not be encircled and suppressed by the Qing army this year.

"How much are you going to charge?"

Lao Zhang needs an exact number.

After Wang Wu weighed it, he first gave a figure of 50,000 households, which was less than 200,000.

It accounts for about one-fortieth of the total population of Huguang (Hunan, Hubei).

Lao Zhang pondered: "You can't do it on the three banners, if you want to do it, you can only do it." ”

Shangsanqi coating is the emperor's direct collar of the internal affairs office, this kind of coating belongs to the eight banners of the household, and the rights enjoyed by the flag people are equal.

Its slave is the title of the new regulations in the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, that is, the private slave of the family of the Five Banners, also known as the slaves of the Eight Banners.

Compared with Baoyi, the rights of its slaves are worse in all aspects, but compared with the Han people, they still have the right to tax exemption, and they can also participate in the imperial examination and go out normally.

The amount of entry into the flag is limited, and it is impossible to do it on such a large scale, but it is easy to operate the slaves under the pretext, and it is enough to reduce or reduce the taxes that should be collected under various excuses.

This subordinate slave doesn't even need to report to Yanjing, as long as Huguang exchanges the benefits in place.

After thinking about it, he asked Wang Wuyi how much he planned to sell his coating.

Wang Wu asked Lao Zhang what he meant: "I am not familiar with this aspect of the market, how much do you think it is good to receive?" ”

Lao Zhang didn't know what price to set, and said that he would send someone to Yanjing to inquire.

"Well, let the market do the talking."

After Wang Wu's intention arrived in Yichang, he let out the rumors that he could enter the flag and vote, and see if the rich people in Yichang City were tempted, as long as there were tempted people, there would definitely be people who went to the government to inquire about the flag.

At that time, we will not say the specific price, but vaguely and vaguely, and see how much customers are willing to pay in exchange for the privilege of entering the flag and exempting from duty.

Lao Zhang thought that this would be fine, but put forward an additional condition, that is, he could not sell too many places to large households, nor could he sell them to small households, but to sell them to medium households.

The reason is that there are too many fields under the name of a large household, and a large household can top hundreds of small households, so that the taxes payable to the court are too small and easy to be discovered.

Small households, naturally, there is no oil and water.

A family only has a few acres of land, and if you give him a tax-free quota, he won't get much cheaper, and he won't even be able to make up the money to buy this quota.

Therefore, the best customer is the middle household.

Wang Wu's understanding is similar to that of the middle class.

The problem is that he wants to bind the big households to himself and form an interest group in Huguang.

Compared with medium and small households, large households have more resources and more manpower.

Big households, another way of saying it, are representatives of the gentry group.

Landlord class.

Without the bonus of faith, Wang Wu could only follow the line of the landlord class, which was determined by historical objectivity, not by his personal consciousness.
