Rolled up by his subordinates as emperor Section 273
The life of this group of sea people was very difficult, and first they received something in the sea, and they had to make offerings to the emperor every year.
You have to get a fixed amount, and then you have to pay taxes, and you have to be squeezed by the merchants, and there are all kinds of confusion.
In particular, the most unfriendly thing to the people of the sea is that there are often some overseas rogue bandits and pirates, who will burn, kill, plunder, and do all kinds of evil.
In the area near the sea, the local government will also send some officers and soldiers, but there is no special navy, and every time it moves, it is very slow.
Champion Lang Tang Yin was born into a wealthy family, not to mention a top family, but also a farming family.
So when he was assigned here, he really had a hard time and couldn't tell it.
However, Tang Yin, the champion of the Yuanlang, was not a coward, and his theories were very good, and he was very valued by Emperor Wude.
When he was assigned the task again, Emperor Wude told him very seriously: "Governing the imperial court and governing a place is never as simple as it is written in the policy theory. ”
How did Tang Yin answer at that time, he earnestly asked the emperor for his life, saying that he was confident that he would help the development of a place.
But when he saw the unclothed people, the black and thin old people, especially the child with a big head on his thin neck, he felt that the child's neck was about to break.
Champion Lang Tang Yin entered Haicheng and saw the tattered yamen, this place did not suffer, and there was no county order for many years.
"There is no fertile land, only the boundless sea, how is this good?"
The head of the champion Lang Tang Yin is big, and there are not many scholars in this place.
Fortunately, the family brought a lot of people, which stabilized Tang Yin at the beginning.
Slowly stabilized, he was not stupid, he knew that there was a bit of a gap between reality and imagination, so when he experienced the blow of reality.
Tang Yin knew a little bit about Emperor Wude's mentality, and he probably looked down on himself as a person who could read.
'The emperor is wise, ah, fortunately, the emperor can still come to the killer himself, otherwise he really has no way to ask for help! ’
Although Tang Yin said that he felt that the emperor was more cheating on himself, he was also glad that the emperor gave him something to save his life.
Just like the champion Lang Tang Yin and ten other people, there is a secret letter every month that can go directly to the saint to report their situation in the local area.
The emperor will give some help, and what they have to do is to develop the local economy with their own ideas.
And everything they do will be tested by the imperial court within five years, and all aspects of taxation, education, economic development, and so on will be examined.
Tang Yin, who had calmed down, knew his weaknesses and his strengths, so he began to secretly let his men go down to find out the news.
On the surface, he began to attract special attention in the county town with his identity as a champion and a very talented and talented poet.
Therefore, he took the booklet of Emperor Wude's success secrets and first explored whether the local characteristics could be developed into characteristic industries and form a large-scale development economy. Step by step, we started to conduct practical exercises.
After exploring, most of the wealthy people in Haicheng were merchants, mainly collecting pearls, corals, and other particularly good seafood from the sea people.
Of course, the extreme squeezing of the good things in the hands of the sea people is also their forte, that is, to push the price to the limit, which is particularly low.
A fine pearl may be sold for hundreds of taels of silver outside, and here it may be worth dozens of copper plates, or even a few taels of silver.
You should know that the sea is very expensive in other places that are not next to the sea.
The sea represents freshness, and there are many sea fish that can be made into salted fish, which is loved by many people in remote places.
It can be used as salt, vegetables, and meat. It can be said that it is very good!
If you think about it carefully, in fact, in addition to the bad farming, there are actually many advantages to being close to the sea.
And there are often some Gentile people in this place, sometimes or other people with hair, people of different races anyway.
Think about one of the policies that the emperor still retains to this day, which is to obtain a knighthood if you find new grain.
'Not bad, it's all good~'
After having an idea, Tang Yin had the motivation to act again, and suddenly he was steady, step by step, he knew what he was doing, who knew what he would do next, and what kind of benefits would it be for the people?
This kind of practical operation has allowed Tang Yin to grow rapidly.
There are not a few cases like Zhuangyuan Lang Tang Yin, but there are also cases, that is, people who are directly rotten, directly rotten, Emperor Wude is not used to it, and he will either go back to the furnace to rebuild, or retake the exam, or go home and eat himself.
You can't stay in office and harm the local people, anyway, Emperor Wude has a way.
Next to the border city of the Xiongnu, a new trading city was established.
The new trading city, because it was established in the Wei Dynasty, was taxed at high rates.
Not only the taxes of domestic merchants, but also the taxes of foreign merchants are treated equally, and even the taxes of foreign merchants are sometimes very high.
The Department of Commerce and Taxation was formally established, and the Trade City was jointly managed by the border cities of the three parties, supervising and supporting each other.
At the same time, the Department of Commerce and Taxation will send officials to collect taxes here, so to speak, and everything has been calculated in place.
The person in charge of this important place is the Marquis of Red Sleeves, this trade city was founded by her, and it is also homophonic with her name, and Emperor Wude specially gave it the name: Hongcheng.
The Marquis of the Red Sleeves knew that this was an opportunity, so he boldly asked Emperor Wude for his life.
'The Department of Commerce and Taxation is very important, and it may occupy a high proportion of the treasury in the future, so it has to be supervised in many ways, not only male officials, but also female officials.
It doesn't need to be a high official position, but it only needs to supervise each other.
At the same time, the officials of the Department of Commerce and Taxation need to be transferred, and it is impossible to stay in one position for a long time, and they need to be investigated and spot-checked at any time. ’
What the red-sleeved marquis said was all for the good of the emperor and the court. But he never spoke for himself.
It's just that in the court, because of the words of the red-sleeved marquis, it caused a lot of turmoil.
Because this business tax department is really a place with plenty of oil and water, there is no need for corruption, and those businessmen will give a lot of gifts, and they don't need to worry too much.
Emperor Wude Yuan Bin didn't think about letting the Commercial Tax Division. What kind of female official he entered, he thought at the time that this department needed some talents who really knew how to do business.
Someone who knows how to make money, how to make money for the treasury.
Only then can this commercial tax department be truly carried forward, and if the commercial tax alone can support the state treasury, then it will even be possible to reduce or exempt the people's taxes.
The common people can also be more relaxed, everything is in the thoughts, and the thinking is slowly considering.
"Mmmm~ Not only to recruit women, but also to find people who really understand business, that is, talents who earn money for me to go to the treasury.
This matter is so decided~ professional things use professional people. ”
Emperor Wude Yuan Bin never felt that there was anything wrong with what he was doing, he felt that he was really too witty, how could he have such a wise person?
It is possible to recruit some business wizards from all over the world, regardless of age. As long as you have the ability.
The red-sleeved marquis didn't expect the emperor to be so understanding, alas, he directly covered it up.
"The emperor is sage, but the lower officials really did not think about it in time, and forgot that the Commercial Tax Department should not only manage taxes, but also manage revenue generation."
The red-sleeved marquis is a person who can make sycophants, and it seems that he is saying that he is losing three or four, and it is inappropriate to consider it.
In fact, he was praising Emperor Wu De's complete thinking, or saying that he was a person who could be a marquis, and his words would be good.
Other officials don't want to listen to these two people, you praise me, I will praise you, and quickly open their mouths to refute.
"The emperor thinks twice, how can he set up a department for businessmen, businessmen are lowly, businessmen are treacherous by nature, how can they be good officials......
And the taxes of merchants have not been high for thousands of years, so you have directly adjusted the taxes so high......
Some officials couldn't hear these words, and they didn't know whether they were sincere or false, but anyway, they felt that it was unclean to use the merchant's money.
"Either you fill the treasury for me, and I take back my words. Or you just shut up! Don't talk. ”
Emperor Wude Yuan Bin was as choked as ever when he spoke, and he didn't want to think about what the current treasury was like. And the face here to refute himself.
The official who spoke was choked to death and his face turned red, but none of the officials present spoke for him.
"Propose to me later, yes! But bring your solution, don't talk big about it, and after refuting it, give me a solution. ”
"You're helping me solve problems, not creating problems for me. If you can't do it, then resign, there are people who want to do your position. ”
The emperor retreated and left, leaving the officials who knelt down, anyway, Emperor Wude didn't care, what did he like.
Emperor Wude seems to have really begun to ignore martial virtues, his fangs have been exposed, and now that someone is using them, he will not take the remnants of the officials of the previous dynasty.
These remnant officials were previously headed by the Yuan family, and later led by the Qiao family.
At present, these remnant officials are all headed by the Xie family, and now they occupy these idle positions.
For example, the head of the Xie family is currently a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, a high-ranking official of the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Academy under his management usually reads books to draft the emperor's decrees.
Or if they are studying for the emperor, they don't need to be a scholar from Xie University, and this position can be said to be noble and idle and has no real power.
Like most of the officials of the previous dynasty, they were basically relegated to positions without real power.
But what can they do, just like there are not many officials behind Professor Xie, they can only be forced to accept this series of things.
Professor Xie sighed, he could only supervise his own offspring.
This day has changed, and the emperor can do whatever he wants, and once he is a son of heaven and a courtier, he only hopes that his children and grandchildren can compete for luck.
However, it is impossible to say that these people accept their fate, and their ability to do things has always been very strong.
So they will switch, either into the arms of the crown prince or into the arms of the king of Jin.
The crown prince really didn't take these people seriously, because the prince felt that after he ascended the throne, he might also kill this group of people.
The prince's approach is ruthless, he really won't leave any hidden dangers for himself.
King Jin recently took on a new errand, which was to repair the official road, which was a very difficult job and difficult to do.
However, King Jin saw that his prince brother would always be doing this kind of hard work.
And the father is a person who likes to do practical things, so the prince is so secure.
Whoever his father likes, then King Jin feels that he has to achieve the impression of a good son in his father's heart.
King Jin, who was obviously very fond of dancing guns and sticks when he was a child, began to do some down-to-earth things.
Before the King of Jin took over the task, Emperor Wude still warned: "If you harm the people and increase the level of conscription, just to rush the project, don't look at you as the prince, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I have no room for negotiation here!" ’
As long as King Jin remembered his father's cold voice, he trembled all over.
He was scared in his heart, and his father didn't seem to be what he used to be, but he was very kind before.
"But it's normal, after all, he became the emperor, he didn't treat himself like this before, and his father treated him well......
'Why has my father changed?' In the past, my father treated himself and his brother equally. ’
King Jin sometimes really can't figure it out, so even if he took a not very good errand, he didn't rush to work frantically for the sake of merit, and he didn't take the lives of the people seriously.
The strategists also couldn't figure it out, and some officials in the court who had defected to the King of Jin couldn't figure it out.
In the end, the more King Jin thought about it, the more he was stunned, he felt that he was no different from his brother, but the prince was his biological father dead, and his biological father was still alive.
