lied to Kangxi

Chapter 494
Jiangshan belongs to Kangxi.

The household department is short of money, so it must be borrowed, and this is where the fourth brother dares to fight the autumn wind.

However, the household department always came to borrow money and never paid it back.If things go on like this, it will indeed corrupt fiscal discipline.

Before the fourth child can get a small farmer's income, the financial income of the small peasant society is basically so much, and it is absolutely impossible to skyrocket.

However, this fiscal and taxation system has a womb: it cannot cope with sudden natural disasters or war funds.

Starting from the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty ceded land and paid compensation all the way, and the compensation became more and more.

However, the financial revenue of the Qing court did not collapse, and the fourth child's contribution to the mu played a vital role.

Another support for fiscal revenue, it must be admitted, is the General Taxation Department controlled by the British Hurd.

Today's Dagukou Wharf, Yuzhu's business is a super monopoly business where he is both a referee and an athlete.

The merchant ships of the foreigners came and taxed according to the regulations.

The Royal Merchant Fleet of the Qing Dynasty formed by Yuzhu also went to Nanyang to do business, selling imperial porcelain and various imperial fabrics that cannot be bought in the market.

Proper profiteering.

Even if the spinning jenny came out ahead of schedule, Yuzhu's royal textile and porcelain trade would still be able to sell well.

Throughout Nanyang and Sanguo, there are many earth kings and nobles, and these people have high spending power.

In the past eight years, Yuzhu deliberately left the impression on the old emperor that he was good at managing money and running the army, but he was not good at uniting the Manchurian dignitaries.

Don't let a group of ministers conspire against me, this is the foothold of the emperor's mind.

It is impossible for Yuzhu to join forces with the old military exploits of Manchuria, this is extremely critical, and Kangxi naturally rest assured that Yuzhu will control the military power in the capital.

In fact, Longkodo is too arrogant and domineering, and his relationship with the old military meritorious officials of Manchuria is not very good.

Historically, it was precisely because of this that Kangxi allowed Longkodo to hold the largest military power in the capital for 11 years.

After Yumen finished listening to the government, the fourth child returned to the household department excitedly.

The fourth child borrowed more than 300 million taels from the old emperor. According to the annual interest rate of 5.00%, as long as the interest of 16 taels is paid, he can continue to borrow 100 million taels.

Apart from using the old emperor's private money to repair the palace, the rest is used to prepare war funds.

In such a huge empire, the household department only deposits 300 million taels of silver a year, which is simply a drop in the bucket for a costly war.

Fortunately, the old emperor has Yuzhu, the god of wealth, who can help him make a lot of money.

When Yuzhu wanted to go home, the old emperor suddenly asked him: "If private merchant ships are allowed, they can also use Dagukou Wharf for business. How much tax will they collect?"

Well, the Junggar in the west is about to move, and the Raksha Kingdom in the north has begun to invade again.

Yuzhu understood immediately, that the old emperor wanted to accumulate more wealth and prepare for the possible outbreak of the Northwest War.

"Huihan Ama, it will definitely be no problem to increase the income by 500 million taels a year." Yuzhu had been waiting for the old emperor to ask this question.

Objectively speaking, under the shackles of the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, even if the Qing Dynasty enforced the sea ban, it was far less strict than the Ming Dynasty.

Even Qianlong did not ban overseas trade, he just abolished the three major customs and kept the Guangdong Customs.

Daming's Forbidden Sea, when it was at its most brutal, no one was allowed to go into the sea.

How did the pirates get here?

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty cut off the source of interests of the merchants, landlords and dignitaries in the coastal areas. Shouldn't these people lure wolves into their houses?

Monopoly trading can make huge profits.

However, in the long run, in order to obtain long-term stable customs revenue, promote industrial upgrading, and fully liberalize non-governmental overseas trade, it is the right reason.

Yuzhu was very patient. He first engaged in monopoly trade, which gave the old emperor a taste of the sweetness.

Then, taking advantage of the time when the old emperor was going to war and was seriously short of money, he gradually liberalized private overseas trade.

The cost of a monopoly shipbuilding is obviously too high.

Only when everyone comes to shipbuilding together can the relevant supporting industries develop vigorously.

Don't be impatient, you have to eat every bite.

When it comes to making money, Yuzhu has never said a single big word.

He said that as much money as he wanted to earn, he would definitely get back as much money as he wanted. The old emperor trusted him.

"Will it affect the safety of Caohe?" The old emperor was concerned that the people's livelihood depended on millions of waterworkers.

What if everyone goes by sea and millions of waterworkers riot?
Yuzhu had thought about this question long ago, and was afraid that the old emperor would not ask.

"Old man, this problem is actually not difficult to solve. Every merchant ship that goes out to sea, the sailors on board must be recruited from young waterworkers. For example, there are tens of thousands of ships along the coast, and they are transported by sea. The young and middle-aged people in the work have something to eat." Yuzhu changed the subject and explained in depth, "The Cao gangs from all over the country formed gangs and gathered by the canal, and the threat to the heart of the imperial court is too great. If it continues to divide and disperse, it only takes one or two generations to slowly eliminate this big cancer."

Suggestions to the old emperor, if you want to be adopted by the old emperor, you must look at the problem from the perspective of the old emperor's interests.

"What if the bandit army used the convenience of sea ships to gather and attack?" The old emperor was worthy of being an old emperor, and he clearly saw the threat of extremely fast troop transport by sea.

Yuzhu still said calmly: "Old man, we only need to strengthen the strength of the Dagu Koukou Navy and take advantage of the heavy artillery to sink any number of ships and fall into the sea to feed the bastards."

"Well, this is a big matter, let me think about it. Kneel down."

The unknown risks of opening up the sea to engage in trade in an all-round way are extremely frightening. The old emperor hesitated, which is not surprising at all.

Yuzhu is not in a hurry. After the Qingzhun War starts, the money will be spent like water, and the old emperor will be forced to ship by sea.

In the Qing Dynasty, the mere reason of increasing fiscal revenue was not enough to persuade Kangxi or Yongzheng to start shipping.

A sentence that Kangxi often talked about can explain the problem very well: I have a vast land and abundant resources, and there are all kinds of wonders. What can be seen in such a small country outside of Tibet?
To be honest, even with Yuzhu's great favor, he still had to rely on the huge military threat of Junggar and use the huge expenses of future wars to force the conservative old emperor to slowly start shipping trade.

In East Asia, any ruler who wants to centralize power, no matter which region he is from, will inevitably adopt a closed-door policy.

Because, as long as the outside news is blocked, the grassroots will become fools over time.

This was true of Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Japanese kingdom, and the same was true of the Li family in North Korea, and it was still the same when Yongzheng ascended the throne.

Yongzheng was forced to open the sea, mainly in the northwest region, and fought several consecutive defeats with heavy losses. It was really an expedient measure that was too short of money.

After Yu Zhu left Qianqing Palace, he went straight out of the palace and returned to his duke's mansion.

In the past, no matter whether they lived in Long Mansion or Qing Mansion, because there were elders guarding their heads, including Yuzhu, everyone had a lot of concerns and inevitably tied their hands and feet.

Now, whether it is Xiuyun or Cao Chun, they all feel a sense of relief.

This feeling, if you have to describe it, it can be summed up vividly after years of daughter-in-law turning into a mother-in-law.

However, self-supporting also has its difficulties.

As soon as Yuzhu walked to the Chuihua Gate, she was invited into the main room by the big girl beside Xiuyun.

Seeing her husband coming, Xiuyun quickly got up and gave up her seat to salute.

After Yuzhu sat down, he drank tea and waited for Xiuyun to say something.

Xiuyun hesitated for a while, then suddenly sighed, and said, "Master, you forgot to tell the concierge something."

Yuzhu froze, then realized that there was indeed a problem.

Although the old emperor helped Yu Zhu to divide Fuguo's mansion into the east courtyard and the west courtyard, but who should come forward to deal with the arrival and departure of festivals?

Yuzhu's head grew dizzy instantly.

After marrying two wives and returning home, Yuzhu has indeed enjoyed the blessings of Qiren.

However, after setting up their own family, who will preside over the concierge and Zhike affairs is a big deal!

Whether Xiuyun or Cao Chun was in charge, it was tantamount to lowering the other party's status in the Fuguo Mansion in disguise.

Even if Yuzhu suppressed Cao Chun or Xiuyun, Longkodo and Qingtai would definitely quarrel.

Because, being in charge of the concierge and the power to know guests is the most important power for a famous lady to be the master of the house.

none of them.

The power to know customers is the core secret of a family's connections, much more core than the power to manage money and property.

In many novels of women's house fights, the fuss is made about the three melons and two dates in the warehouse all day long, which is really picking up sesame seeds and losing big watermelons.

To put it bluntly, as long as a wrong gift is given, it is easy to turn against friends or relatives.

Although the problem is difficult, it is not difficult for Yuzhu, a little expert in solving troubles.

Yuzhu thought about it carefully, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "This matter is difficult to say, very difficult. It is simple to say, but it is actually very simple. How about this, the gift lists, invitations, etc. sent from outside, first of all Hu Biao from me will pick it up, and then send someone to give it to you, okay?"

When Xiuyun heard it, her man was amazing.

Hu Biao served as the chief intellectual, so he grasped all kinds of movements in the Duke's mansion.

When Xiuyun's relatives and friends come and go, they will be sent to Xiuyun for disposal.

In the same way, Cao Chun will take care of the arrival and departure of the eighth room of the Tong family.

In this way, only Hu Biao's link is added, and Cao Chun and Xiuyun can still live in peace.

Xiuyun's wonderful eyes turned, and she said calmly: "Master, it's really difficult for you, the bowl of water is so smooth?" The meaning of ridicule is very strong.

Yuzhu laughed and said, "I can have fish as I like, and bear's paw as I like. In fact, I can have both."

Xiuyun sighed, what else could she do, should Cao Chun live by her face?

Even if Cao Chun endured it, Qing Lin and Qing Tai would definitely not agree if the news spread to the Qing Mansion.

On the contrary, if Cao Chun had the final say, there was absolutely no possibility for Xiuyun to agree.

Yuzhu is good at mixing mud and mud, showing his supernatural power.Ling Xiuyun and Cao Chun were both dissatisfied, but they could reluctantly accept it.
