Chapter 84 Currency Tax Law
"Flowing ......"
At that time, with the sound of rain, the whole city of Nanjing was surrounded by rain, and the wall of Guocheng, which stretched for hundreds of miles, looked particularly majestic in the rain, like a yellow-brown earth dragon, lying on the ground.
In front of the Baoding Underground Palace of the Ming Dynasty, the rain splashed strings of water on the green bricks on the ground, and the sound of rain dripping on the trees was filled all around, adding a bit of vitality to the Purple Mountain.
The rain came only after all the yellow paper had burned out.
Standing under Huang Luogai's umbrella, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen, the two grandsons, looked at the underground palace in front of them quietly, not knowing what to think.
In the distance, Zhu Gaoxu, Guo Ying, and Xu Zengshou stood under the umbrella, the difference was that Guo Ying and Zhu Gaochu each held an umbrella, and Xu Zengshou was supported by the soldiers behind him.
As if he felt that this was not good, Xu Zengshou took the umbrella himself and asked the soldiers to retreat.
After the soldiers retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang also talked to Zhu Yunwen beside him under the umbrella of Huang Luogai:
"Guozijian's side, how are things doing?"
"Back to Grandpa, everything is ready, and the students in the Guozi Prison can leave at any time." Even though it was raining, Zhu Yunwen still raised his hand to answer.
It's just that under Zhu Yuanzhang's glance, all his thoughts seem to be exposed.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Zhu Yunwen's small movements, but looked back at Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing in the rain with an umbrella.
"Look at what I'm doing......"
Zhu Gaochu was a little weak-hearted, after all, Lao Zhu's eyes were really very lethal, every time he looked directly at himself, Zhu Gaochu felt that he might lose his head in the next second.
"The edict ordered all the students of the Guozijian to go to the Dajiao field tomorrow, and then ordered the household department and the five military governors to transfer two guards and 300,000 ...... Guan Qian went to the big church and waited. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to say that he would adjust the 300,000 banknotes, but for some reason, he thought of what Zhu Gaoxu said to him before, so he changed it to money.
In this regard, Zhu Yunwen's eyes flickered, but he quickly hidden.
"Then I will give an order, let the people in the household department order the income of this year's absenteeism and submit it to me, and in addition, I will announce to the world in early August that this year's autumn tax, Susong Erfu, can be used to offset the tax."
"Grandson leads the ......" Zhu Yunwen's heart jumped, but he still responded first, and then saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing else to order, so he put forward his opinions and opinions.
"Grandpa, Su Song's second mansion paid the military taxes last year, money, grain, silk cloth and other things, after folding, it is roughly more than three million yuan."
"If the tax is offset by money, then the tax that the two governments can pay this year may be ......."
Zhu Yunwen said three points, but in this case, he had also said it when he argued with Zhu Gaoxu about money before, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what he wanted to say.
In the final analysis, the vast Jiangnan region of Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang accounted for most of the taxes in the early Ming Dynasty, especially the Susong Second Mansion proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang was the most important.
Although they are only two prefectures, they account for one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty's taxes.
These two tax areas, for any government to propose exemptions, disaster relief or other economic policies, for the Ming Dynasty, are all proposals that need to be cautious.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang only listened to Zhu Gaoxu's views on money, and proposed to let the people of Susong's second mansion use money to offset taxes.
Once this will is issued, Zhu Yunwen doesn't dare to think about what the tax situation will be this year.
Of course, the taxation of the imperial court is one thing, and the more important aspect is Zhu Yunwen's personal thoughts.
He had never seen his grandfather take anyone's proposal so seriously, not even his own father.
"The mine map drawn by that kid has found three places."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words solved Zhu Yunwen's doubts, but at the same time, he gasped.
He carefully calculated the time, it was only a month and a half since his grandfather sent someone to Yunnan to investigate, but in such a short time, according to the map he drawn, he could find three ore veins.
Zhu Yunwen understands the mining class and knows that it is not easy to find ore.
Because of this, he is well aware of the importance of these three veins.
If they can be found so quickly, they must be easy veins to mine.
In other words, the benefits they can bring to Daming are great, and what Zhu Yunwen is worried about is the other mineral veins on the map.
If the mountains painted by Zhu Gaoxu have mineral veins, then he is afraid that he will ......
"After you return to the palace for a while, let the household department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies prepare to move, and move some more people from Nanzhili and Zhejiang to Yunnan, don't let these three gold and silver mines be wasted."
"Yes......" Zhu Yunwen held his breath and stared, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
"Gold and Silver Mine ......"
Zhu Yunwen is not a fool, he knows what the three easy-to-mine gold and silver mines represent, and he doesn't wonder why his grandfather would let Su Song's second mansion use money to offset taxes.
Since Zhu Gaoxu said so accurately about the prospecting, I am afraid that what he said also has some truth.
In this way, it is not surprising that his grandfather wants to use Su Song's second mansion to test it.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen still doesn't believe it, after all, prospecting and money are two different things, and he doesn't believe that what Zhu Gaoxu said can be realized one after another.
Thinking of this, he vaguely glanced at Zhu Gaoxu holding an umbrella in the distance.
His small movements, even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look back, he could roughly guess it.
It's just that in the face of this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not stop it, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he did it deliberately.
"Let's go, go back to the palace."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around to speak, and Zhu Yunwen quickly put away his gaze and followed Zhu Yuanzhang towards the bottom of the Purple Mountain.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and the others coming, Zhu Gaoxu and the others also let go of the Shinto, and then followed them.
More than 100 people began to walk down the mountain, and the rain in this mid-year festival seemed to have fallen enough, and it began to gradually become smaller.
When everyone came to the bottom of the mountain, the rain also stopped, and Zhu Yuanzhang also took Zhu Yunwen on the big wheel.
It's just that before returning to the palace, he still opened the window with some reluctance and looked at the Purple Mountain washed by the rain, it seemed that even if he sat here, he could see what he wanted to see.
"Drive back to the palace!"
After looking at it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze, closed the window, and Zhu Yunwen also took the opportunity to let the team return to the palace.
More than 1,000 Leopard Tao guards turned over their horses and opened the way for the big chariot, while Guo Ying and Xu Zengshou commanded the soldiers and horses, and the arch guard was orderly and orderly.
Compared with them who have something to do, Zhu Gaoxu at this moment is squatting in the stable under the Purple Mountain, and scolds to the red man who is lying lazily eating grass in the stable:
"Eat, eat, eat! You know that if you don't get up, we'll be left behind, so get me up! ”
"Sigh the law ......"
