Chapter 172 Tax Evasion?This is a good reason to kill Xungui!
Not just Mei Jingfu and Geng Huan.

There are a total of eight families of Xungui's children who came together.

After everyone got off the boat, the honorable children who knew each other immediately started talking.

During the conversation, they were all talking about their vision for the next trip to Jianzhou.

Although these noble children have received a good education since they were young, this is the first time they have taken the lead by themselves when they grow up so old.

There is already the kind of excitement and excitement in my heart that I have grown up and can take responsibility.

There is also a kind of indescribable tension and worry, for fear that I will not do well, and I will do bad things when I am just a fledgling.

In fact, this is also what the nobles in Beijing, and even Emperor Hongwu wanted to see.

Emperor Hongwu's feelings towards Xungui are actually very complicated.

He didn't even want to raise his own sons as pigs. Instead, he sealed them off as kings and made them take on the responsibilities of Daming.

It is even more impossible to treat the nobles as pigs.

But his ideas are complicated.

He didn't want a powerful noble to shake the stability of the imperial power.

But I don't want all the nobles to be turned into wine bags and rice bags, so that they cannot assist the imperial power to rule.

So on the front foot, he dealt with a bunch of nobles who could threaten the emperor's power and cause the country's instability.

But on the other hand, when Peng Ke proposed to let the nobles in the country send their disciples to Jianzhou to manage the gold mines, he happily agreed.

Because this is something that can not only appease the nobles who can't make waves now, but also cultivate the descendants of nobles.

The big thorn head, Hong Wudi has already solved it.

But the country cannot do without an excellent noble class to defend the imperial power.

Most of the bosses of the honorable families can get a military position in the army, although they can't be the deputy of the capital at a young age like Peng Ke.

But at least one guard commander can still be obtained easily, and there is no shortage of training.

But for the second and third sons of the honorable families, there is really no way out.

At this time, it would be a good thing to let the young Xungui who have not experienced exercise come to Jianzhou, a bitter and cold place, to exercise.

Coming to Jianzhou to open a gold mine is not just for mining.

Jianzhou is adjacent to savages, and there are even a large number of savages in the local forests of Jianzhou.

If you want to mine safely in Jianzhou, you must have a pickaxe in your left hand and a musket in your right hand!
But the savages are scattered, and the groups of organized savages have been swept away by Penke's regular army. Now there are only a few kittens left in Jianzhou, and there are not even large tribes with more than a thousand people near Jianzhou.

In this way, these honored children who went to Jianzhou to mine mines faced only low-intensity conflicts.

And this kind of low-intensity conflict is just a good thing to exercise experience.

These noble children have been "exercising" with the savages in Jianzhou for several years, and their minds, wrists, and ability to be independent will be greatly improved.

This can be regarded as training a group of good successors for the nobles.

After a few years, the gold mines in Jianzhou will be stabilized, and these honorable children will be useful when they are transferred back to the country!

Although they cannot inherit the title, it is precisely these honorable children who cannot inherit the title that have the desire to fight for their future.

Work hard for the emperor, and get a birth for yourself!
Otherwise, if the family has a title inheritance, what else is there to fight for?

If you follow the steps honestly, you can become Lord Marquis. Life is so boring.

These two, three and four sons can just happen to be one of the most powerful helpers of the Taisun's Northern Expedition in the future.

Even so, there will be suspicions that Xungui's tail can't be shaken off.

But the emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't eat dry food, and Emperor Hongwu also felt that his grandson could control it, and it would be a big deal to settle it at that time!
After all, as long as the Northern Expedition is decided, there will definitely be a group of new nobles rising up, which is unavoidable.

Besides, among the 28 honorable families, one family has a son, and in the end, among the 28 people, can there be five who can become talents and go to be named dukes and marquises?
Most of them probably have to devote themselves to Daming in the future Northern Expedition, and die and have a grand burial.

No matter how you calculate it, for the royal family, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It's just that the second and third generations of Xun who were sent to open up Jianzhou haven't thought about this level yet, they only think about how to be a mature "adult".

It was the first time to break away from the wings of their parents and take charge of a set of affairs. For these nobles, it was really new everywhere.

They have completely ignored that their father has arranged for them to be in charge, and they have completely substituted themselves into the feeling of monopolizing power.

Even if the sea voyage is very tormented and uncomfortable.

But after disembarking for more than ten minutes, they immediately revived with vigor and vitality, and when they got together, they found the court's top speaker in Jinzhou Port.

Liao Xun, commander of Jinzhou Port of Liaodong Fleet.

"Commander Liao, when can we leave for Jianzhou?"

"I am waiting for the gold mines in Jianzhou, and they are still waiting for us to build them!"

"Extremely extreme, arrive at Jianzhou earlier, and establish the mine earlier, so that we can contribute to the country!"

The Gold Mining Daming is heavily taxed, nine out of ten taxes!

After their gold mine was established, most of the gold mined had to be handed over to the country. Isn't this a contribution to the country!
The reason why the tax is so high, Emperor Hongwu is not worried about their tax evasion, mainly because Emperor Hongwu is more ruthless.

For any mine in the world, no matter whether it is government-run or private, after the mine is opened, the tax officials and eunuchs sent by the central government will work with the local officials to determine the daily production capacity of the mine.

After that, the daily production capacity is directly used to set a tax for one year.

Regardless of whether you can produce so many mines this year, you have to pay taxes according to this tax amount.

Moreover, this tax amount is not constant, it will be checked every year, and it will be re-enacted according to the number of workers and machinery in the mine.

Of course, no matter how strict the tax system is, it cannot completely avoid tax evasion.

But other mines are okay, gold mines, as long as you dare to evade taxes, if you don’t catch them, then you are lucky.

Once caught, the whole family will have to be chopped up, and even the eggs in the family will be shaken until they are smooth!

This is why Emperor Hongwu was more inclined to let Xungui develop gold mines.

Because they are not barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, but they dare not kill their whole family for tax evasion.

Now sitting on the dragon chair is Emperor Hongwu, not Emperor Chongzhen!
The founding emperor really dared to kill, and he liked to kill Xungui very much!

Under such high pressure, the nobles who just want to be rich, dare not pay taxes honestly.

Even if the tax is really high!

But at least until the imperial power is not doing well, they dare to obey and violate.

For Emperor Hongwu, using private merchants to open gold mines is really not as good as using Xungui, at least Xungui looked forward and backward, and really dare not mess around.

Do you dare to evade taxes?

Isn't this a good reason to give Emperor Hongwu a good reason to kill Xungui!
