Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 605 Are we the richest man in the capital?
The story is divided into two parts, Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian are engaged in scientific research and sleeping late in Xishan, and the court is also full of troubles during this time.

Due to Liu Hongjian's interference, although the struggle between the Donggong faction and the court veterans continued, the tone of commercial tax collection had already been set.

With the recommendation of Anguo County King Liu Hongjian, Han Yu, a scholar of Dongge University and Minister of Rites, became the general person in charge of commercial tax collection.

Oh, now Han Yu's job title has been changed, he should be called the Cabinet Secretary.

Zhu Cihong kicked Fan Jingwen out of the cabinet on the grounds that the former cabinet assistant Fan Jingwen was old. Of course, Zhu Cihong would definitely not say that on the surface. He only said that he was sympathetic to his body.

Fan Jingwen, the elders of the three dynasties, had never been so angry, he handed in his resignation the next day and begged for the bones to go home for the elderly.

Zhu Cihong was not stingy either, he gave gifts to the young teacher and rewarded money, in short, he suppressed the resentful courtiers only after giving him all the glory he deserved.

In fact, Zhu Cihong is also quite aggrieved. There is a regent above him, and then there is a supreme emperor above him. Although Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian mean to let him do it freely, the ancients can't believe everything. Of course Zhu Cihong knew that he did it. Everything has to be considered carefully.

The reason why he moved Lao Fan was to give an explanation to the Eastern Palace faction. After all, suppressing the Eastern Palace officials who had followed him for several years was a bit hurtful.

Lao Fan had always had a problem with the Prince of Anguo, and Liu Hongjian would not have any objections if he wanted to move him.

Moreover, he directly gave the vacated secondary assistant seat to Han Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the meaning was very clear. My brother moved the cabinet veterans for no other reason, but to make room for Han Aiqing.

After all, the position of the cabinet is a radish and a pit. If you want other people to take the position, someone else must leave.

After Lao Fan left, Han Yu was promoted to second assistant, and the other vacant position in the cabinet was naturally given to Zhang Tianlu, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials.

When Han Yu came to Xishan to report the situation to Liu Hongjian, Liu Hongjian laughed after hearing it.

After making such a big circle, isn't it just to leave a hole for the East Palace?
He said in his heart that this classmate Xiao Zhu is really kind. If he comes to do it, it will be a one-shot deal. If you can't do it, you can go home to take care of you.

"I said to retire. You are also the second minister of the cabinet. Why do you still have time to find the king?" Liu Hongjian had just finished lunch and planned to go out for a walk with the dog, but unexpectedly, he was disturbed by the affairs of the court. .

Although Liu Hongjian probably knew what Lao Han was looking for him for, he was still unhappy in his heart. There was no trouble with his ears, no trouble with his paperwork, how long had he been clean?

"My lord, you have to help me out." Han Yu seemed to have something to hide, he got up and solemnly cupped his hands.

"Sit down and talk about something, don't always put on a polite expression, this is what bothers me the most." Liu Hongjian curled his lips, the more polite he was, the less good it was.

"Hey, the emperor issued an imperial decree a few days ago, declaring that merchants all over the world will consciously pay taxes according to the set amount. It has been half a month now, but the news from all over the world is not satisfactory."

Han Yu sighed. He was actually not ashamed to say that after the policy was devolved for more than half a month, the amount of commercial tax collected by the court was only 10,000+ taels according to the account statisticians.

It's embarrassing to say it!

"Since the imperial court has issued an imperial decree, how dare someone commit a crime? Throw him away!" Liu Hongjian's eyes lit up immediately.

The intruder refuses to accept it?Take him!Unconvinced wild boar skin?Take him!Mozi dissatisfied?Take him!

This is Liu Hongjian's consistent style. If you are not convinced, you will be convinced when you hit him. It's that simple.

"Ah? What disk?" Han Yu was suddenly confused by Liu Hongjian.

"Have you ever panned walnuts before? It's just dry, sloppy, and not round at all. You have to trample it hard until it becomes shiny and oily. It's a pan!
In short, fuck him, fuck him, beat him! "Liu Hongjian said shyly.

"Oh no, my lord, if this is the case, the world will be in chaos!" Han Yu said with a bitter face.

He worshiped Liu Hongjian as the head of the seat, one of which was to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and another reason was that Liu Hongjian was a true temperament and would not stab his subordinates in the back for some reason.

Based on his understanding of Liu Hongjian, if the king of Anguo County was in charge of commercial taxes, he might just push him over.

After all, his glory was all earned by his military exploits, but merchants were no better than refugees and slaves. These guys who didn't use weapons were sometimes more ruthless than bandits.

They refused to pay taxes for various reasons such as business difficulty, loss of money, and inability to make ends meet, and they were also very cooperative. As soon as the tax department arrived, they immediately took out their account books.

But the account book was exactly as it was said. After careful inspection, it turned out to be a loss, and it looked like there were no pants left, which made the tax department lose its temper.

Nowadays, big businessmen from all over the world have already connected together. Although there is no abnormal organization such as a chamber of commerce, they have also agreed on a charter that advances and retreats together.

Once the imperial court uses force, these merchants are bound to go on strike to protest. In short, they are really poor, and if the imperial court continues to exploit them, they have no choice but to close their doors.

But how could the common people bear this? In just ten days, people all over the country were already full of grievances, and Zhu Cihong was displeased when he learned about this.

He didn't criticize Lao Han, who was the new official, but asked him to ask Liu Hongjian for help.

"Since ancient times, unscrupulous people and profiteers have been difficult to raise. Well, this king was negligent." After hearing Han Yu's explanation, Liu Hongjian stroked his chin and frowned.

Too much pressure on the business of merchants will inevitably affect the development of the empire, and too much indulgence will make the people rich and the country poor, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge.

"My lord, I have a merciless request from you." Seeing that Liu Hongjian was silent, Han Yu said respectfully.

"If you have anything to ask or not, just say it." Liu Hongjian said bluntly, the current situation is obviously under pressure, but it's not appropriate to use force, and he has nothing good to do for a while.

"I heard that Xishan's business cooperation industry is quite huge, and the officials dared to say it bluntly. I hope the prince can take the lead in paying the business tax and set an example." Han Yu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and told the truth directly.

There have long been rumors and rumors in various places, accusing the imperial court of being unfair. The surviving nobles in various places are all wealthy families.

And the one who bears the brunt is Liu Hongjian, Prince of Anguo County.

Han Yu was a little apprehensive. After all, chatting and chatting with friends is fine, but it is not uncommon for people to turn their faces immediately when they talk about borrowing money.

He is not here to borrow money, but this is more serious than borrowing money. There is still a chance to get back the borrowed money, but the money will never be returned after being handed over to the court. Whose money is brought by the strong wind?
"Nimma, it turned out to be something like this after a long time, so it's easy to talk about it, but I don't know how much money Xishan Shanghe has earned in the past year, and wait a while, I will go to the British father-in-law Xiao Zhang to come over and talk about it. "Liu Hongjian scratched his head and said.

Maybe for others, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat, but for Liu Hongjian, his money really comes from the wind.

In the many workshops of Xishan Shanghe, except for pointing out the technology and development direction while walking around, he almost doesn't care about anything, so that it is not very clear how much money he has at his disposal.

Shaoqing's British official Zhang Wei, who was sitting in the base camp, came first, but he was stunned when Liu Hongjian asked him, and immediately took out a super thick ledger from his body, and took the abacus from the entourage, crackling carefully Count it up.

It took a full quarter of an hour before Comrade Xiao Zhang finally figured it out.

"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, you are already the richest man in our capital." Zhang Weixian took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
