"Factory company, factory company ......"

Wang Li was dreaming and was woken up softly by Yang Guozhong, a hundred households in brocade clothes.

Turning his head, slightly disappointed.

"What's the matter?"

"Factory Gong, news came from Jingshi: Yang Suoxiu, Yang Weiyuan, Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanyu, Shi Gongsheng, Qian Jiazheng and others have successively written to impeach Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian!"

"Really?" Wang Li's heart tightened: "Long live what the Lord does?" ”

"Go back to the factory, long live the master and have no action for the time being! Wei Zhongxian is still in Shanxi! ”

Waving his hand, Yang Guozhong retreated from the bow of the boat.

Sitting back in the Taishi chair, Wang Li was not too calm.

Ostensibly, they are impeaching Wei Zhongxian and Choi Chengxiu;

In fact, they impeached the entire eunuch party!

And he also belongs to the eunuch party!

If Wei Zhongxian falls, it will be difficult for him to be alone!

When Zhu Youzhen first ascended the throne, the courtiers spoke in the main hall, and they all had to look at Wei Zhongxian's face!

Why do they dare to write a book of impeachment now?

Could it be that Zhu Youzhen secretly instructed him?

Or was Wei Zhongxian's investigation of corruption too big and angered them?

Looks like I'm going to have to pay more attention!

Always ready to run!

"Factory ......"

Yang Guozhong stepped forward again, handed over an envelope, and stopped talking.

This is a map sent by the governor of Jinhua!

Wang Li took the envelope, and Yang Guozhong retreated with interest.

Agitated!

Hands tremble!

Little hearts are pounding!

The envelope was opened.

On the surface, it is indeed a folded map of Jinhuafu.

It's just that there is a stack of silver tickets in the map!

I'll go!

Only 10,000 taels?

Are you embarrassed to show your hand?

Do you want to attract investment with this little money?

The envelopes were sent one after another, and the more Wang Li opened them, the more disappointed he became!

These old guys, have you negotiated?

Why is it 10,000 taels per person?

Why are they only 10,000 taels?

Nima!

Even if all the state capitals in Zhejiang build ports, this is only 110,000 taels!

What can be done?

Moreover, only one port can be built!

The problem now is that Wei Zhongxian has been impeached!

If I don't do anything after receiving the money, I'm not far from death!

"Factory Father!"

Zhang Yandeng stepped forward alone and said in a low voice: "Last year, the grain production in the whole territory of Zhejiang was greatly reduced, and the officials of various prefectures and governments tried their best to barely collect enough land tax!"

Everyone is very helpless, there is only so much silver that can be honored!

Factory father, you can pity the poor people of Zhejiang, and leave them stuttering! ”

Zhang Yandeng's words confirmed Wang Li's conjecture: the eleven prefects, the amount of filial piety is exactly the same, and they are indeed colluding!

This Zhang Yandeng is actually quite cunning!

He will not offend any of the eleven prefects below, let them compete fairly!

The problem is that it's only 10,000 taels of silver, which is not enough for me to stuff my teeth!

But well......

Add up to 110,000 taels, it's still quite fragrant!

Now that the silver ticket is in hand, there is no reason to return it!

"Master Zhang, what do you mean...... Last year's Zhejiang suffered a natural disaster? ”

"Alas!"

Zhang Yandeng shook his head and said helplessly: "If it is a natural disaster, it is okay, this official can write to the imperial court and ask for a reduction or exemption of a part of the field tax;

The problem is that the household department sent people down to check, and they said that the "grain production reduction" was not a natural disaster, but was caused by the laziness of the people in Zhejiang!

There is no less tax to pay!

Alas! ”

"That's ......"

Wang Li rolled his eyes, put all the envelopes into his arms, and said: "Since Zhejiang has suffered a natural disaster, our factory will definitely write to the Lord of Long Live and Chen Qing the facts!"

All kinds of taxes that should be paid this year, Zhejiang does not have to pay! ”

When the sound fell, Zhang Yandeng's face was happy.

But soon, it was all disappointment.

In the whole territory of Zhejiang, the annual tax paid to the imperial court is about 300,000 taels of silver!

Coupled with local taxes, the people don't have a few dollars left!

If the wind and rain are smooth, the people can still have food and clothing.

But, like last year......

Zhang Yandeng, I really can't bear to see the people of Zhejiang hungry!

As the governor of the second grade, it is difficult for him to succeed in requesting a reduction of a part!

And Wang Ergou is just a third-rank admiral!

With just one word from him, can he be "exempted from it all"?

No way!

No way!

"Master Zhang, I said I could avoid it!"

Wang Li smiled faintly, patted his chest and promised: "Today, the 110,000 taels of silver collected by the factory are even the taxes payable by Zhejiang!"

At the end of this year, even if Zhejiang does not pay a penny, the imperial court will not ask for recovery!

Our factory does what it says!

Otherwise, you and the eleven prefects can jointly write a letter of impeachment! ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Yanden looked at Wang Li up and down, and couldn't believe it: "Factory father, can you write a contract?" ”

"Master Zhang, aren't you embarrassing me?"

"Factory father, I'm not difficult for you! As the governor of Zhejiang, it is my duty to be loyal to the court and appease one side!

I am grateful that the factory can sympathize with the suffering of the people of Zhejiang!

However, 110,000 taels of silver is not a small amount!

What I mean, the factory should understand!

At the very least, let's write a contract privately!

Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to my colleagues! ”

Zhang Yandeng did not let go, and Wang Li complained bitterly.

Good for you, Zhang Yandeng!

Lay mines for me, huh?

The courtiers raised a group to impeach Wei Zhongxian and his party, and as soon as there was any trouble, I would run away immediately!

After that, what should you do with your taxes this year?

What the hell is going on with me?

Of course, if Wei Zhongxian is safe and sound, I will still continue to fish!

However, you cunning Zhang Yandeng, but you want to set me up?

Didn't I take you 110,000 taels of silver?

"Lord Zhang, as the governor of Xichang, I am sympathetic to the people of Zhejiang, so I naturally have a way to exempt Zhejiang from taxes.

If I want to write a contract, I can only write you an IOU: I owe you 110,000 taels of silver in my personal capacity.

You know, I have to use extraordinary means to get the imperial court to exempt Zhejiang from taxes.

This matter cannot be known to the officials of the provinces and ministries!

I can't let the eleven prefects know about it!

If you fail to forgive, I will repay you 110,000 taels of silver at the end of the year, plus three points of interest!"

You know what I mean, right? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yandeng hesitated slightly, and actually nodded!

At this time, Zhang Yandeng was not helpless, but happy!

For him, a pie fell from the sky!

And, it's a huge pie!

It is enough for the people of Zhejiang to eat a full meal for two years!

In fact......

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, even officials who do practical things and do the right thing must "express their expression" to officials at all levels in order to "get things done"!

Just like the current Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan, and Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Dao, they also have to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, so that they can have the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country!

The admiral of the West Factory in front of him is indeed aiming to build a port in Zhejiang.

However, if the officials at the top and bottom of Zhejiang do not "dot", I don't know when the port will be built!

If you offend him, this port may not be built in ten years!

However, after the grain production in the whole territory of Zhejiang was reduced and the taxes were paid to the imperial court, the people really had no money in their hands!

Moreover, the officials up and down Zhejiang were exempted from more than half of the local taxes, which made up the taxes of the imperial court!

Therefore, there is indeed not much silver that officials in Zhejiang can use to "dot" the factory company!

Unexpectedly, this factory man is too young and too tender!

His appetite is really not big!

In the current Ming Dynasty, he can also be regarded as Hai Rui!

If another official comes down, without three or five hundred thousand silver, it is absolutely impossible to settle this matter!

The money saved was distributed among every one of the people, enough for them to eat for a year!

So, what is he not young?

What is it if it is not Hai Jui?

For the sake of 110,000 taels of silver, to impeach a "clean official", no one is so stupid!

Moreover, they also made IOUs!

The exemption he promised from taxation was a joke!

It's just that......

As soon as the port is completed, the people of Zhejiang will live a happy life one day earlier.

He's not going to put it off again and again, is he?

You have to keep an eye on this matter!

After putting away the IOU, Zhang Yandeng suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his face was full of expectation: "Factory company, the location of the port ......"

"I took a general look, Haiyan, Haining and Xiaoshan are all good! Choose one of these three!

I have to carefully consider where to build it! ”

"Good, good, good! It's just that...... Ignorance...... When will it be decided? ”

"It won't be long! If it goes well, within a month, there will be merchant ships going to sea! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Yandeng was so excited that he almost fell into the river.

One month!

That's too fast, isn't it?

It will take at least half a year for the site selection and construction of the Governor's Office, the appointment of officials, and the verification and distribution of "ship by" and "business introduction"!

This guy has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well!

It's really not very reliable!

"Factory officer, the construction of the supervision hall will take five or six months at the earliest, right?"

"The Overseer? Is this urgent? Can't you set up a few tents? ”

Wang Li's words made Zhang Yandeng scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

The Governor's Office is a special agency that manages trade and collects taxes!

Let the officials of the overseer house live in tents?

Zhang Yandeng had to suspect that he might have heard it wrong!

The ship is a legal certificate for trading vessels.

Only ships with a ship can load or unload cargo in the port without being intercepted by patrol vessels.

Business introduction is a legal certificate for people who go to sea to trade.

Only those who hold the business quotation can their trade behavior be considered legal.

If there is no ship and merchant guidance, it is smuggling, no different from pirates!

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this is to kill the head!

Moreover, even if the ship is owned by Heshang, there is still a restriction of "44 ships in each of the east and west oceans" on the Moon Harbor side!

There is still a restriction that "no trade with the Japanese people" is still allowed!

Those who fail to return after the deadline after going to sea will also be killed by "sitting on the crime of complication"!

It will take half a year just to inspect and issue the ship by and the business!

This guy is really not very reliable!

Zhang Yandeng was a little disappointed!

"Master Zhang, I said that if I can go to sea in a month, I will definitely be able to go to sea!

Xichang Jinyiwei has been issued in Hangzhou Bay by and business!

You, don't you know? ”

"Hang...... Hangzhou Bay ......"

Zhang Yandeng had never heard of this word, and he was confused: "Factory father, are you already issuing ships and merchants?" So fast? ”

"Master Zhang, hurry up and go back to raise money!

When I choose the port address, the corresponding large hotels, luxury casinos, kiln hooks, foot baths, etc., must be built as soon as possible, without delay! ”

"That's nature, that's nature!

By the way, factory father, you went to Zhejiang and Fujian, not just to prepare for the construction of ports, right? ”

When he said this, Zhang Yandeng was full of smiles.

However, Wang Li became vigilant!

The vest is slightly cool!

"Master Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

"Factory father, I heard...... Zhejiang and Fujian want to pilot the collection of commercial tax? ”

"Nope! Nothing! Wang Li hurriedly denied it, patted his chest and promised: "Long live Lord does have the intention of levying commercial taxes, but due to the opposition of the ministers in the court, he has already done it!" ”

"Really?"

"Master Zhang, can I still lie to you? Hurry back and prepare, don't think too much! ”
