I am the king of the dead

Chapter 290 Banknote Customs Tax Cannot Be Exempted

Although Hu Wei did not have as deep an understanding as Wu Jing, but after all, he has lived for seventy-six years and has seen pigs run away without eating pork. Of course, he has his own unique understanding.

In fact, he wanted to speak from just now, but after all, he was only the minister of the Ministry of Rites, not the specific person who handled financial affairs.

The ministers are very clear about the manifestations of fixed assets, such as land, warehouses, markets, banknotes, etc., and this is not a complicated thing.

But they couldn't understand the discussion between Wu Jing and His Majesty who came and went.

At this time, translation is needed.

As a professional official of the Ministry of Etiquette, Hu Wei said with a smile: "Actually, rich families don't need to buy fertile land, and there are thousands of millet in the book; There are as many horses as there are clusters; when you marry a wife, don’t hate an unscrupulous matchmaker, there is beauty in the book.”

In fact, there is another sentence in this poem, "If a man wants to fulfill his life ambition, read the Six Classics diligently to the window."

This poem is Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng's "Encouraging Learning Poems", which is quite suitable for interpreting the dialogue between His Majesty and Wu Jing.

But the last sentence is not in line with His Majesty's current ruling strategy. If a man wants to live his life, it is not only about reading the Six Classics diligently at the window, but also in many ways.

For example, enlisting in the army to contribute to the country, such as entering a craftsman college to refine forged steel, such as participating in farm volunteer training, and so on.

The last sentence has a serious tendency to promote literature and martial arts. Does Hu Wei, a professional minister of rites, not have this political awareness?

Many courtiers came to their field of expertise, and when they heard their familiar words, they immediately understood the meaning of these words, and they couldn't stop nodding.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being Hu Wei.

You can quote scriptures so quickly and sum up the conversation between His Majesty and Wu Jing so clearly.

"Very good!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Knowledge is also wealth! Very good!"

Zhu Qiyu directly extracted a sentence, and said to Wu Jing with a smile: "Then I will ask you again, what about the money from the lease? What is it?"

Wu Jing bowed his head and said: "Liquid assets are wealth that must rely on flow to have use value and exchange value. This is assets that must change hands, such as your majesty's currency, butcher's mutton, landlord's rice, and clothing from a tailor's shop." Wait, it's all liquid assets."

"The so-called three types are divided into reserved, fixed, and mobile. This is the so-called three types of assets."

Zhu Qiyu was full of smiles, looked at the courtiers and said, "Do you have any questions?"

What Wu Jing said is quite right. As a ten-year old official, they have observed social phenomena for a long time, but they lack advice and guidance, and they are still unable to summarize and summarize.

And because of the limitations of this era, arithmetic and business are all tertiary.

Zhu Qiyu found that he was really consistent. As the emperor, he was always setting up a stage to screen out those capable officials, and then let the ministers of the Ming Dynasty have room to show their talents.

According to his historical context, Wu Jing probably spent his whole life in Zhejiang, and finally hugged his "Nine Chapters Algorithm Comparison Encyclopedia" and sighed that his luck was bad.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile on his face: "Now that we have reached this point, Wu Jing, tell me why the Tatars are stupid."

Wu Jing hesitated for a moment, looked at many courtiers, took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the deposit, fixed and liquid assets are not fixed, they are always in circulation."

"For example, what His Majesty said, the house itself is a shelter from the wind and rain, and it is a reserve asset, but it is a fixed asset that can generate profits when it is used for rent."

"And fixed assets will also produce output. For example, the stone mill in the workshop, the charcoal in the Shijing factory, and the jingtai furnace can produce steel materials. These are all fixed assets, but they have produced current assets."

"Silver coins are the most negotiable assets, but the Tatars collected them and turned the current assets into fixed assets. That's why His Majesty said that they are stupid."

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile on his face, a one-man show, is lonely, at least Wu Jing, an old official of ten years, has a thorough understanding of this aspect.

Hu Wei sat up straight and said conclusively: "In this world, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when things prosper, they will decline. This is the nature of heaven and earth."

"Sun and moon, stars and stars, yin and yang and five elements, go round and round, just like the changes of the four seasons, the movement of heaven and earth is also true."

"Your Majesty's theory of financial affairs is actually the law of ritual and music."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and said full of doubts: "Hu Shangshu, can this be regarded as etiquette?"

Zhu Qiyu recognized Hu Min's skill in washing the ground very much, but can this be regarded as etiquette?This is about the liquidity of capital, can it have anything to do with etiquette?
Hard washing is not advisable.

Hu Wei said as a matter of course: "Of course, my sentence means that "Han Shu Li Le Zhi" was written by Wen Zi."

"Wen Zi was a person in the pre-Qin period. His thinking was still positive, and he often traveled in the sea. He was the teacher of Fan Li, a senior official, and taught Fan Li seven strategies. Fan Li assisted Yue Wang Goujian, and used his five strategies to destroy Wu."

"Nature is the law of ritual and music."

Fan Li, many people regard him as the patriarch of Shang Tao, but in history, Fan Li was actually one of the 64 generals of Wumiao, the top general of Goujian, the king of Yue, and the prime minister of Yue.

Fan Li is a typical master of high meritorious service, who had no choice but to become an official, and then started a side job, becoming the patriarch of business.

Hu Wei's meaning is very simple. The world's assets are constantly flowing between reserved, fixed, and liquid assets, just like the sun, moon, profit and loss, yin and yang, and five elements. It is a general axiom.

This is not all etiquette, so what is etiquette?
Zhu Qiyu looked at the officials, he was naive, he shouldn't question the 40-year-old Minister of Rites' research on the word etiquette.

"very professional"

Liu Ji stared at Hu Wei, he took notes quickly, this reaction speed made Liu Ji a little sluggish, took over by himself, can he really do it well?
Wu Jing sighed, although Fan Li helped the King of Yue to destroy the country with five strategies, but Fan Li was from Nanyang.Not from Wu.

Who are the famous people in Nanyang?
The Wu Temple is actually called the Wucheng King Temple.

"Forget it, count it as etiquette." Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, took a sip of water, looked at Wu Jing and asked, "Do you have any other views on these three assets?"

Wu Jing shook his head in a daze, he understood here that he thought he had understood the way of wealth in this world, but judging by His Majesty, this is just the beginning?
Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Then you are finished, let me say a few words."

"As long as a person is alive, he will consume firewood, rice, oil, salt, food, clothing, housing and transportation, so a part of the assets must be reserved for living. This is what Wuzhangyuan said is reserved assets, which are reserved to provide the wealth needed for life."

"Liquid assets always flow towards reserved funds, which are finally consumed."

"Therefore, sufficient liquidity can guarantee the sufficient funds reserved. Those merchants who do not do business seriously and always want to hoard their goods will not have the possibility of speculating."

When Zhu Qiyu said this, he couldn't help thinking of the financial war between the two whites and one black in Shanghai. Mr. Chen Yi and Chen Boss were good at fighting and engaged in financial affairs.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "Actually, discussing whether a country is rich or not is to judge whether the basic necessities of life that are closely related to the people are sufficient."

Hu Wei nodded and added to the officials: "Isn't this a kind of etiquette that the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are safe and the country is solid?"

Annotating His Majesty's words anytime, anywhere, every moment is one of the duties of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said: "We know that current assets are the output of fixed assets, so increasing fixed assets can increase current assets."

"Obviously, expanding territory, reclaiming wasteland, constructing water conservancy, establishing government institutions, and so on are all increasing fixed assets, increasing output, and increasing current assets."

"Only in this way can the country be rich and the people strong."

"So why are the Tatar kings so stupid? They hoarded the most liquid general equivalents, which interrupted the circulation of liquid assets. Without liquid assets, how can they reserve funds?"

"But the Tatar kings are not the only ones who are stupid? There are also our gentry, powerful merchants and great merchants, just like the Confucian family. Aren't they stupid?"

"Bury the hard-earned silver in my pigsty!"

It is said that it is stupid to bury silver in the pigsty, why?That's why.

Zhu Qiyu was very dissatisfied with these insects. Whether it was the Confucian family or the Qu family, even if they had a little bit of feudal mode of operation, they could do a little bit of capitalism.

It is simply too backward to engage in hoarding in the age of ignorance.

Fan Li doesn't play these things!
The ministers kept silent. This is indeed a very stupid act, but in the past they thought it was very reasonable and common, and they didn't take it seriously.

But now it seems that it was a big mistake.

Jin Lian carefully recorded the notes and said confidently: "Your Majesty, I understand that, just like what Your Majesty said, the goods in the world are divided into grain rent, labor remuneration and profit."

"Then the cost of maintaining fixed assets and liquid assets is borne by grain rent. Building water conservancy, laying roads, building warehouses, maintaining government and people, and these are all part of grain rent."

"According to what your Majesty said, the skills learned by craftsmen are also a kind of fixed assets, so we still need to invest a lot of state money to maintain the Confucian schools in the social and health centers in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty to increase the fixed wealth of all."

"Just as iron plows wear out in use, cattle and horses die in plowing, ditches and dams collapse, and roads become rough, so fixed assets must be repaired in the process of use."

"The group of insects who don't pay taxes! They rely on Da Ming's wealth and wealth, but they refuse to pay taxes and taxes! It's so damned!"

When Jin Lian thought of the account book of his family, he was heartbroken, how much less tax was paid?Relying on Daming to make money, but still refuses to pay taxes and taxes!

With this group of insects, how can Daming's financial affairs be done well!

Jin Lian said very seriously: "So, everyone must pay taxes and taxes!"

"must!"

As the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Jin Lian understood the truth from what His Majesty talked about, that is, to maintain the dilapidated house of Daming and not be kicked down by others, then everyone must pay taxes and taxes!

Zhu Qiyu nodded, so as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was also paying taxes.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and said: "Currency, it is very confusing. In many cases, it is more like fixed assets than current assets."

"For example, in many cases, currency can generate profits. You only need to invest a certain percentage of currency in an emerging industry to generate high profits. This is very similar to fixed assets."

"Because all the income of the society must be distributed to all the people of Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner through currency, so the amount of currency seems to determine the amount of wealth."

"But currency is only an auxiliary tool to help the circulation of goods, and must not be equivalent to actual goods."

"Everyone sitting here is the court Minggong, who is in charge of the state's public equipment and power. If you are the same as the Tatar king, the gentry and the merchants, don't directly equate currency with wealth."

Jin Lian took good notes. What His Majesty said makes sense. Currency is not fixed assets, but current assets.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "So, Jin Shangshu, it is better not to let the household department have only one wick in the lamp. Maintenance of fixed assets requires investment, not just saving."

Jin Lian froze for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No no no."

"According to what His Majesty said, the cost of maintaining fixed assets is inevitable. Isn't the role of the household department to save this cost?"

"After saving, the household department can invest more fixed assets, so that Daming's current assets will continue to increase, and the retained assets in the hands of the people will increase accordingly. Isn't this the role of the household department?"

"Your Majesty is frugal, you don't wear more than eight suits a year, and all your internal funds are used for military and military affairs. Your Majesty dares not be selfish. How dare the ministers be selfish?"

"So, the places in this province should be saved."

Zhu Qiyu nodded a little dull... What Jin Lian said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it at all.

Zhu Qiyu's life is not miserable, on the contrary, it is true that Tai'an Palace is several times smaller than the imperial palace, but he is a king, as long as he wants, what can't he get?

He refuses small temptations only because he has higher ambitions.

But Jin Lian took this to talk about things, and Zhu Qiyu was really not easy to refute.

Jin Lian thought about it seriously for a long time, and said with a heartache: "Your Majesty, I think that the Jining Hetao disaster should be paid as much as possible for next year's summer and autumn taxes."

This is the benevolent government that must be imposed.

After the military disaster, the population withered, and the people had to leave money to live on. Therefore, Jin Lian could only reluctantly propose this.

That's all money.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Jin Qing and Yu Shaobao's thoughts coincided with each other. Yu Shaobao also asked for an order to pay the second tax next summer and autumn."

"I'm ready."

Jin Lian and Zhu Qiyu suddenly said at the same time: "But the banknote customs and commercial tax cannot be exempted."

The officials stared blankly at the two, thinking they had heard it wrong.

But they did speak in unison and said this sentence.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head, he claimed to be the Minister of the Household Department of Daming, and Jin Lian also claimed to be the Minister of the Household Department of Daming, and their two thoughts also coincided with each other.

Now if the ministers scold the emperor for levying and abusing, then go and grind your teeth with the Ministry of Households first!

Wu Jing stared at this scene dumbfounded. Regarding the determination to collect taxes, at least the household department and His Majesty are highly consistent.

Hu Wei wrote: "On Bingzi day in November of the second year of Jingtai, I went to the Juxian Pavilion in the lecture hall to discuss the way of financial affairs with the ministers, and generally discussed the gains and losses."

"Yi said: The way to establish the sky is called Yin and Yang. The way to establish the earth is called softness and rigidity. The way to establish people is called benevolence and righteousness."

"The above said: The world's financial affairs are based on the way of keeping offerings, the fixed way, and the flowing way, just like the changes of the four seasons, the movement of heaven and earth is also the same, the cycle is repeated, and the cycle is repeated."

"Heaven, earth and man, these three talents, stay solid, these three wealth."

Hu Wei was still about to continue writing, but Zhu Qiyu had noticed it a long time ago and asked Hu Wei to stop writing.

"Okay, it's enough to stop here, what follows is all slander." Zhu Qiyu took the content written by Hu Wei.

Liu Guliu, these three treasures are indeed the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and they summed it up very well.
