Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1594 Demon Concubine 10
Things at home are relatively easy to settle, but some matters in the court are difficult to settle. After all, even if she influenced Emperor Yuanfeng, Emperor Yuanfeng was willing to listen to his proposal, but the court may not necessarily listen to it. Emperor Yuanfeng wanted to implement it, but he couldn't.

For example, at this moment, An Ran intends to implement the commercial tax. In the future, when the commercial tax revenue comes up, the agricultural tax will be lowered, and the burden on the farmers will be reduced, so that the farmers will not follow the people to rebel because of the heavy burden in the future. After all, as long as the burden is not heavy, the farmers can live well Not bad, who wants to fight when they are full.

But this matter is very difficult to carry out, because most of the ministers of the DPRK and China have businessmen in their families, and they have vested interests. If they want to raise business taxes, it will not kill them, so it will not pass at all. When it comes to this, those people Either weeping with Emperor Yuanfeng, or admonishing him, saying that he could not compete with the people for profit.

In addition, I want to reform the current agricultural tax, implement a tax rate per mu, and increase tax revenue. Even this measure cannot be implemented.

In fact, there are still some flaws in sharing a piece of land into an acre, but it can bring a lot of financial income to the dynasty in a short period of time. With money, you can do a lot of things.

But the point is, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are vested interests, who is willing to promote this?

An Ran sees that the imperial court has been corrupted to a certain extent, and those with vested interests form a civil official group to obstruct the development of various policies that are not conducive to themselves. In the end, they had to encourage Emperor Yuanfeng to seek money overseas.

I don’t have it at home, so go outside and look for it at the head office.

If you go overseas to find money, you will definitely get money from outside. After all, even if you are not so lucky, if you find some gold and silver mines, you can make money just from the trade between the two sides; Falling behind in the ocean race kills two birds with one stone.

An Ran thought this way, just happened to encounter an opportunity on this day.

On this day, Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly looked at the place where An Ran lived, and said: "Oh, the treasury is not rich, and I can't do anything. The palace where my concubine lives is too old, and I don't have the money to help you renovate it. Last time you said I think it's a good idea, but I can't implement it, I can't get money, it's annoying, that bunch of rubbish in the court, every time I look at them, I can't sleep because of anger .”

In fact, An Ran's palace is very good in the palace, magnificent, but because Emperor Yuanfeng doted on her, he still felt dissatisfied when he saw some old places, so he said this.

Hearing what he said, An Ran thought this was an opportunity to raise her own thoughts, so she didn't deny Emperor Yuanfeng's statement, saying that her palace was very good, and said: "Your Majesty calm down, for those who only think about yourself, don't Knowing that it’s not worth getting angry with the garbage that shares your Majesty’s worries, since they don’t agree with you doing that in our Dazhou, that’s okay, don’t we have a navy? Just let the navy set sail and go to Nanyang, Xiyang and other places to find some It’s good to get the money back. It also saves the need to raise the navy every day, and now there is no battle to fight, so it’s wasted there.”

Emperor Yuanfeng shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy, there may not be money outside, but it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to build a big ship, and the ministers will not agree."

An Ran said: "It doesn't necessarily mean that there is money, and it doesn't mean that there is no money. Anyway, Da Zhou, we can't find a chance to make a fortune. We can't just go outside and look around? The navy is already supported, but the boat may If you don’t want to spend that little money, how can you get rich? We don’t have money now, and we can’t do anything. When we have money, it will be convenient for His Majesty to clean up the garbage that doesn’t share your worries.”

After hearing An Ran's words, Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't help but feel agitated. He was panicked because of the lack of money, and finally decided to try An Ran's proposal.

As a result, although this proposal was controversial in the court, it was passed in the end. That's right, the court sent navy troops out to find money. This had no conflict of interest with many ministers in the court, so they agreed.

As for spending some money to build a big ship, the money is not theirs anyway. They protested a few words. If the emperor insists on insisting, it is none of their business if they do not make a fortune by going to sea in the future. On the contrary, they can use this to continue criticizing the emperor. Things went wrong.

——This is also fortunate. Fortunately, the maritime trade in this dynasty is not very developed. Otherwise, the maritime merchants are so prosperous that they have colluded with the important ministers of the court. For their own interests, even if they go to sea, there will be ministers who will find reasons to oppose it.

Seeing that this matter was successful, An Ran couldn't help but secretly nodded, thinking that it would be good if she could go to sea to find money, as long as she found the money, the risk of rebellion in the future would be reduced.

We must know that one of the most important reasons why the world will be in chaos in the future is that Emperor Yuanfeng has no money to use. The agricultural tax, due to the serious land annexation, some wealthy gentry and gentry used methods to evade taxes, and the more they paid, the less they paid; There was not much money to be collected, so the court was unable to turn around because of too little finances. Emperor Yuanfeng saw that there was no way, so he set up a clever name to collect taxes. The world caught up with a drought that lasted for several years, so the world was in chaos.

In the final analysis, Emperor Yuanfeng was incompetent, but under normal circumstances, it was not a problem to be conservative. After all, he was not as licentious and immoral as those famous tyrants, emperors, and faint emperors in history. It's good, but it's definitely not bad in terms of ranking in history. Under normal circumstances, it would not be the king of subjugation, and it will end up like that later, which is caused by many reasons.

But among these reasons, there are big reasons for the growth of the civil official group and the fact that they can't do anything due to party disputes.

Now, once the overseas trade is successful and there is a source of money, Emperor Yuanfeng will not increase taxes, or even reduce taxes. In that way, farmers will not be unable to survive. happened.

Of course, in order to cope with the continuous drought in the next few years, An Ran will have to persuade Emperor Yuanfeng to build more reservoirs and canals, and then store more grain to survive those few years. Taxes, but God is not strong, I'm afraid something will happen.

While An Ran was worrying about these things, the shipbuilding went smoothly, and he went to sea soon.

And the niece of the original body is also married, because Emperor Yuanfeng keeps giving her rewards, so she has money on hand—of course, this money is relatively small compared to the individual, and it is still very small for the country—— Naturally, a lot of dowry was also given to the eldest niece, so that she could get married in a splendid manner.

Anyway, those things are not bought from the mall, they are obtained in this world. She has saved too much and can’t take it away. It’s better to use it in this world. She only needs to have enough for herself, and she doesn’t need to hold it in her hand all the time. , not available to anyone.

And Zhang Yuanniang's glorious marriage seems to indicate that the Zhang family has officially risen in the capital, and the girls and boys after that talk about their relatives, and they all talk about it well.

And with the marriage of forces, the Zhang family's network has become wider and wider, and An Ran has been favored all the time, so the Zhang family has naturally become more and more beautiful.
