Chapter 20: Shi Heng Comes to the Door
Zhu Qiyu was not in a good mood, and seeing that Li Qing was still in the mood to smile, he said depressedly:
"People say, the lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, so you don't want to relieve the king's worries?"
That's what they say, I don't have that idea...... Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Saving money is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing expenditure, if the emperor wants to pay it off in advance, there is no way." ”
Zhu Qiyu perked up: "For example? ”ωWω.GoNЬ.οrG
"For example, raising the land tax." Li Qingdao said, "Taizu set the field very low, and its intention was to restore the people's strength and recuperate;
However, after so many years, Daming is no longer a seedling, it has grown strongly, and it is understandable that the field will rise appropriately. ”
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Tian Fu is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and improving Tian Fu has a great impact. ”
"It is a blessing for the people that the emperor can think like this." Li Qing said sincerely, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"But at this time, at that time, the grain production is much higher than that of the Hongwu Dynasty, even if it is increased, it will have no effect, it is nothing more than the people complaining."
"No, the landed people are naturally carefree, but what about the landless tenants?" Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The wool comes out of the sheep, and it is the people who suffer in the end." ”
Li Qing said with a smile: "On the surface, this is true, but now that the share of maritime merchants is redistributed, in addition to farming, the people have one more way to choose, work!" ”
Zhu Qiyu was stunned.
Li Qing continued: "The overseas market is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more workers needed, and the money earned by working is more than farming.
In this context, the landlords did not dare to squeeze too fiercely, after all... They don't know how to farm themselves. ”
"Hmm... It's true, it's just ......" Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "I have only been on the throne for ten years, and I am afraid that I will lose the hearts of the people by acting like this!" ”
Li Qing said helplessly: "At the beginning, the people will definitely complain, but ...... Well, in the long run, this is for the good of the people. ”
"Is it good for the people to raise the land tax?" Zhu Qiyu was speechless, "I don't believe this." ”
Li Qing said: "The Ming Dynasty now does not collect taxes according to people, but according to land, and the increase in land profits will be reduced, which can curb land annexation to a certain extent." ”
Zhu Qiyu was stunned, "Hey... That's it.
The gentleman's perspective on things is always so novel! ”
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." Li Qing smiled, "The landlords and rich gentry are profit-seeking, and in the same way, the people are also profit-seeking. ”
Zhu Qiyu deeply agreed: "Mr.'s words are beautiful. ”
After a pause, he asked, "Sir, how much does Tian Fu think is appropriate?" ”
"It can't be too high, let's set it at 20%." Li Qingdao said, "By the way, didn't they ask for the restoration of the Hongwu ancestral system?" Then restore one,
The accumulation of embezzled grain taxes has reached 60 taels, stripped of the skin and grass, and the descendants will never be hired! ”
"It's... I'm afraid it's ...... Isn't that right? Zhu Qiyu's heart was shocked, the emperor has been doing it for a year, and he doesn't understand it.
There are a few generals who are not greedy, and if they do this, they are afraid that they will make people anxious.
It is possible to properly govern the Qingming, but it is impossible to let the courtiers have a clean breeze on their sleeves and not take a single penny.
Who is an official for that little bit of death?
How much people have to make a little money, officialdom is a place where personal feelings are very sophisticated, and it costs money to usher in anything, and it is far from enough to rely on Yulu alone!
Of course, even if it is enough, it should be as greedy as greedy, the treatment of civil officials in the Song Dynasty is good enough, and there are not so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials?
At the end of the day, it's all about being good and thinking about it.
Li Qing's eyes lowered, and he said faintly: "I'm talking about embezzlement of grain taxes." ”
"That's it......" Zhu Qiyu nodded wryly: "It's not impossible." ”
Li Qing smiled bitterly and was speechless, Zhu Qiyu was also depressed and speechless, one of the two was capable and the other powerful, but when it came to such a fundamental problem, they couldn't do anything.
It's not that you don't want to do something, it's that you can't do it, and you can't do it.
After a long time, Li Qing broke the silence and asked, "How many copper coins does the Baoyuan Bureau have now?" ”
"After weighing and comparing, it was calculated that there were 50,000 and more than 80 million copper coins." Zhu Qiyu said, "It can recover 5.8 million treasure banknotes." ”
Li Qing nodded: "Has the trade with Japan started this year?" ”
"Here we go, the merchant ship just left last month." Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It's only been more than two years to get so much, if you really want to pay it back, it will be enough for another twenty years." ”
"It won't take that long." Li Qing shook his head, "With the economic prosperity, it will get better and better year by year, at most fifteen years, and if it is fast, it will be paid off in twelve or thirteen years." ”
Li Qing said: "Your Majesty, don't just think that this is just to repay debts, in fact, it seems that you are repaying the money, and there will be a large part of the return;
The imperial court will not become poorer and poorer because of the repayment of debts, but will become rich because of stable purchasing power. ”
The financial knowledge involved in this is profound, Li Qing explained for most of the day, and Zhu Qiyu was still in a fog.
In the end, Li Qing had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, you think so, stable purchasing power and a prosperous economy can increase the purchasing power of currency, and in the same way, the money in the hands of the imperial court will become valuable." ”
"When you say that, I kind of understand." Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly, "That's it for now, you go back and come up with a plan, and if you have any needs, just say it." ”
Zhu Qiyu said depressedly: "It's not my own anyway, pay it back early, out of sight is clean." ”
“…… The Emperor Shengming. ”
…
"I have climbed a mountain, crossed a bend ......" Li Qing hummed a little song and rode a donkey, feeling soothed.
Walk through a street, enter Lianjiatun'er, turn a few corners, and arrive at the door of the house.
Unexpectedly, I saw a fierce man blocking the door.
"Li Qipin, you let Lao Tzu wait!" Shi Heng's eyes were red and he glared at Li Qing.
Li Qing looked puzzled: "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”
"Did you teach Shi Biao kung fu and provoke him to do it to me?" Shi Heng gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched, half angry, half painful.
Last night, the eldest nephew didn't spare his hand at all, and Shi Heng couldn't take out his identity as an elder, so he gave him this beating, and his front teeth were loose.
However, the big nephew who used to be able to handle it at will suddenly became a master, and he couldn't beat it, he couldn't beat it at all.
"Uh......" Li Qing suddenly nodded and said, "That's right, it's me." ”
"It's a man." Shi Heng sneered and nodded: "Open the door, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with you when I go in." ”
Li Qing: -_-||Who gave you the courage, you can't even beat Shi Biao, can you beat me who taught him kung fu?
However, Li Qing didn't say anything, turned over and got off the donkey, and opened the door briskly.
Since someone wants to be beaten, he doesn't mind being satisfied.
Li Qing led the donkey into the door, and Shi Heng followed, locking the door.
Isn't this guy being beaten stupid by his big nephew, and he really wants to duel with me? Li Qing looked weird.
Shi Heng took a few steps forward and looked up at Li Qing, full of momentum.
He is taller than Li Qing, he is in his forties and has a burly figure, and he has tendons and flesh, plus that ruffian, if he is a bystander, he will be frightened by this terrifying momentum without fighting.
But Li Qing was not moved at all, and said lightly, "What do you want?" ”
"How?" Shi Biao sneered, he took two steps back and rolled up his sleeves.
Since you have itchy skin, then I will fulfill you...... Li Qing sighed and posed in a Tai Chi starting pose.
saw Shi Heng suddenly clench his fists: "Teach me!" ”
Li Qing: (⊙_⊙) ?
After a while, he reacted and sneered: "If you ask me to teach me, I will teach, then wouldn't I be very shameless?" ”
Shi Heng froze for a moment, and said angrily: "Don't force me! ”
Li Qing sneered: "I'm forcing you, what's the matter?" ”
"You ......" Shi Heng was angry, his chest rose and fell violently, he glared at Li Qing hatefully, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "Teach me!" ”
"......" Li Qing supported his forehead, this Shi Heng is simply... Han's cute.
"If you want to learn from Shi Biao to teach you, I'm very busy, I don't have that time."
"I learn from him?" Shi Heng snorted: "Then I won't be his apprentice?" ”
Li Qing said lightly: "I want to save face, I want to have a lizi, how can there be such a good thing, I want to learn kung fu to find your eldest nephew, don't bother me, I will provoke Lao Tzu, and the will be called out for you." ”
"You ......"
"What are you, hurry up, do you really think that Feng Hou can show off his power in front of me?" Li Qing said disdainfully, "It's up to you, it's still far away." ”
Shi Heng knew that Li Qing was rushing forward, and he was even better than his nephew Shi Biao, so he had to hum: "I don't study in vain, teaching fees!" ”
"It's not bad for you two jujubes."
"This is my tuition!" Shi Heng handed over two large ingots of gold ingots.
Li Qing didn't love money, but he found that this was a good opportunity to correct Shi Heng, so he ......
He took the gold ingots.
