Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 633 Follow the ancestral system

Huang Daozhou actually agrees with Liu Hongjian's arrangement in his heart, and it's not his style to gossip.

He now believes that the young prince is dedicated to the court, but Huang Daozhou is very distrustful of the two guys in front of him who were pirates an hour ago.

Hearing that he might have to work with a group of pirates in the future, Huang Daozhou felt as uncomfortable as a mouse dropping.

"The Maritime Patrol Division is naturally under the General Taxation Division, but the General Taxation Division needs to cooperate closely with the Patrol Division to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

I don't care what your previous backgrounds are, but since you have accepted the imperial court's invitation to become an official of the imperial court, you must put the imperial court first in everything. Corruption and bribery will be your biggest challenge.

The Holy Majesty will give you official positions, salaries and powers, but this king will say this ugly thing up front. This is not an easy job. If Jin Yiwei and Dongchang find out that you have committed any illegal acts, this king will not tolerate it. "

Liu Hongjian's expression became serious, and he stared at Yang Liu and Zhong Bin while talking.

The power of the Maritime Patrol Department is similar to that of the Coast Guard, and it is a security organization that is specially subordinate to the customs office. This is very necessary in Liu Hongjian's view.

He is not worried about Huang Daozhou, he even dared to report this guy when he became so vicious, it is the newly recruited pirates of this group, he must be vaccinated first.

Give me a slap and a date, and the ancients probably wouldn't bully me.

"Then lord, what kind of officer is this Patrol Division?" Although Yang Liu was overjoyed, he still had to ask, otherwise he would not be able to brag to his brothers when he went back.

As soon as Yang Liu finished speaking, Zhong Bin also looked at Liu Hongjian expectantly.

"Emmmm... The highest official patrol envoy of the Maritime Patrol Department is tentatively designated as Cong Sipin. This matter needs to be discussed with the Holy Master after the king returns to Beijing, but you need a one-year assessment period.

During the assessment period, Yang Liu received the sixth-rank salary for the acting patrol envoy, and Zhong Bin received the seventh-rank salary for the deputy patrol envoy.

And you, Mr. Huang, according to my intention, the chief tax officer should be designated as the third grade, but this can only be determined after I return to Beijing to meet the saint, and you just need to know. "

Liu Hongjian thought for a while and said.

Taxation is an extremely important part of the country, whether it is now or in future generations. If taxation is done well, the court can have money, and only with money can it do more things that are beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood.

Yang Liu and Zhong Bin were overjoyed when they heard that. Although they had never read the books of sages, they knew that the magistrate of a county was the seventh rank, and they had to study hard for ten years in the books of sages.

The two looked at each other, smiled happily, and secretly vowed to be worthy of this kindness, but if it was any other court official who came, it would definitely not fall on them to be ordered to rob such a good job.

"My lord, the commercial tax for import and export is under the control of the Municipal Shipping Department according to the law of the Ming Dynasty. We will wait..."

"If the Secretary of Shibo is capable, does the king have to go so far to make trouble? Not abolishing it is considered merciful. Since they have the duty to welcome foreign vassal states, let's do it well. If they dare to find fault, they can directly let them impeach the king. .”

If there are too many lice, it doesn't itch. If it is really intolerable for the world to serve the country wholeheartedly, life is not satisfactory, and the Ming Dynasty spreads boats, and there is nothing wrong with being an idle prince, that is exactly the leisure life he wants.

"You don't need to worry about these matters, and tell me the detailed terms of the tariff collection." Liu Hongjian said again.

According to Liu Hongjian’s plan, customs offices were set up in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai. Anyone in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to go out to sea for trade had to go through the inspection at the nearest customs office and pay the tax before the imperial court issued a command flag and certificate.

Ling Qi showed to all forces that this ship came from Ming Dynasty, and whether to use this ship or not would have to weigh the strength of the country behind the ship.

The certificate is the evidence to prove that you have paid customs duties during the routine inspection by the Maritime Patrol Department.

It's just that Liu Hongjian is not familiar with the specific amount of customs tax and how to collect it.

Zheng Zhilong is very free and easy, playing with one size fits all, he never cares what the ship is transporting, whether it is ammunition or grain, he treats them equally, a ship costs 3000 taels, no one cheats.

But the imperial court definitely can't play like this. The value of the goods on each ship is different, and there are too many disadvantages, which is not conducive to commercial development in the long run.

"My lord, according to the original regulations of the imperial court, import and export taxes are divided into shipping notes and goods taxes.

The ship banknotes are based on the size of the ship, 200 taels for each large ship, 960 taels for a medium ship, and 450 taels for a small ship.

It's just..." Huang Daozhou seemed to be unable to bear it when he said this.

"Just what?" Liu Hongjian asked.

"It's just that there are official ceremonies in addition to the ship banknotes, and there are bad regulations in addition to the goods tax. This is considered a waste of fire." Huang Daozhou seemed to be disdainful in his words, but this is a common problem of the shipping department. He just wanted to see the prince. How to dispose of it.

"Official etiquette? Bad rules? Fire consumption?" Liu Hongjian frowned.

"Yes, my lord, although the amount of ship bills varies according to the size of the ship, the official ceremony has reached a terrifying 950 taels, regardless of the size of the ship.

This bad rule is even worse. In addition to the goods tax, there is another [-]% of the bad rule. What's more, some tax officials secretly want to pay, and the payment also accounts for [-]% of the total price of the goods. " Huang Daozhou explained.

This is also a major reason why merchants would rather take the risk and choose to smuggle than to pay taxes at the Shibo Department.

The government is too dark, the total value of a ship's goods is 1 taels, and the officials can hack 8000 taels with repeated deductions. How dare you go to the Shipbuilding Department!
"Listen to me because of the bragging." Liu Hongjian was extremely angry and displeased, thinking that the bureaucratic urination hadn't changed at all in the past thousand years.

"What did the lord say?" Huang Daozhou asked solemnly without understanding.

"It's nothing, according to the rules and regulations that this king proposed to the Supreme Emperor earlier, the monthly salary of the third grade is 120 taels of silver, and all silver taels will be distributed, and the salary will not be converted into real objects.

Even as a foreign official from the ninth rank, there are 25 taels a month, which should be enough for a family in various parts of Ming Dynasty, Mr. Huang. " Liu Hongjian asked knowingly.

"Enough is enough, enough, three taels of silver a month is enough for my family, and 120 taels is enough for my family for several years." Huang Daozhou agreed without a word.

If he is really able to do this job, the family's disappointing grandsons will probably be able to go to a government school, and the leaky house at home... Huang Dapao thinks so.

"It's easy to handle over there. The king thinks that no matter whether it's tax entry or taxation, the ship bills will still be the same as before. Large ships pay 200 taels, medium ships 960 taels, and small boats 450 taels.

It's just that [-]% of the goods tax is not appropriate. According to my king, I will set it at [-]% first, and the rest will be discussed with courtiers and the Holy Majesty when I return to Beijing.

As for the official ceremonies, bad rules and handing over, I don't want to see these unhealthy practices in the future.

If any officials dare to overcharge or ask for bribes, they will follow the ancestral system of our Ming Dynasty! "Liu Hongjian said with a sinister smile.

"Oh? I don't know which ancestral system it is?" Although Huang Daozhou vaguely knew what the ancestral system was, he still admired the vigorous and resolute young prince in front of him.

"60 taels, peeled real grass!"
