Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 786
"Are you kidding me, sleep! I'm so sleepy!" Liu Hongjian said, turning over and pulling the quilt.

As long as the two of them were in the room, Liu Hongjian's speech was even more casual, and he even called himself Laozi. As for Zhu Cihong's words, in Liu Hongjian's opinion, it was completely nonsense!

A ten-year-old girl knows what a fart, and she has a crush on me. I'm already 25. When the girl grows up, I'll be over 30. Do you want a loli to grow up?
"Hey! I'm not joking with you. Although Zhaoren is a girl who escapes, she is very clear in her heart." Zhu Cihong sighed. He felt that he was not a competent brother. During the most difficult days in the palace, Zhaoren did not Don't follow and suffer.

"You are so young, why are you sighing, don't think about it, go to sleep!" Zhu Cihong said, and Liu Hongjian's heart began to beat.

Xin said, Brother Zhu, you have a big heart, if this is true, shouldn't you be furious?

But we are not interested in little girls, and our values ​​are still fine, so sleep is the most important thing.

"Brother Liu, do you think that if this thing can really happen, will the emperor be happy when he finds out?" But who knew that Zhu Cilang was quite interested in talking, lying on his side with his head on his left hand and muttering to Liu Hongjian's big feet non-stop.

"Fuck, if your father finds out, he'll be so angry that he'll kick the coffin boards away! Don't talk about it anymore, you're boring, aren't you!" Liu Hongjian pulled the quilt over his head again.

"Hey, I think it's pretty good. I'm your uncle. I haven't heard you call me at all. You have to let me call you brother. Father will be angry when he finds out! Oh, in a blink of an eye, father It's been over a year."

It seemed that Zhu Cihong had been lonely in the palace for a long time, and no one looked at the chatterbox when he went out, so he didn't feel sleepy.

"Then let's not mention this matter, brother Liu, the warships of the Netherlands have blocked the South Seas, and our Ming merchant ships can't go to sea for trade. If things go on like this, the tariffs will not be collected. What good strategy do you have?"

Seeing that Liu Hongjian ignored him, Zhu Cihong had no choice but to change the subject.

"Is the treasury short of money now?" Liu Hongjian asked through the quilt.

"Lack! Why not!

New schools are being established in various places, and the request from the county, state, and government officials has already made Mr. Zhang of the household department frown.

The four provinces of North Korea, Beihai, Xinjiang, and Taiwan also spent a lot of money to form the army, as well as disaster relief in various places, the investment in scientific research funds of the Ordnance Institute, the construction of mass production workshops, and the salaries of court officials also accounted for a lot proportion.

Alas, if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the sage will never deceive me. "Zhu Cihong's arms were a little sore, and he lay on his back with his hands behind his head and said.

"In a few days, I will go to the British company to share dividends with them, and send the share that you and I deserve directly to the household department.

This money is not used for other purposes, it can only be used for running a school, of course, this is in my name. "

Liu Hongjian had never had any idea about money. There was so much money that he could not spend it in three lifetimes. It just became a number, but the country's progress could not stop.

No matter how hard you are, you can’t suffer your children, and no matter how poor you are, you cannot have poor education.

Zhu Cihong, a shareholder of Xishan Shanghe, accounted for a full half of it. Of course, only a few shareholders of Xishan Shanghe knew about it. Even if they donated the money, they could not use Zhu Cihong as the emperor.

Otherwise, it will not be a mess. When today's son takes the lead in fighting for profit with the people, it will be in the hands of the pen holders.

"That's not the case. We have been in the Ming Dynasty for 300 years. How can there be a household secretary who doesn't cry about being poor? That lord is just complaining that the treasury money is still enough for the time being." Zhu Cihong said immediately when he heard that his money was about to be moved The wind changes.

The member of Xishan Shanghe is his own small treasury. Isn't it because of the income of Xishan Shanghe that he returned most of the Huangzhuang to the people?
Life without money is difficult, no one knows this better than Zhu Cihong.

Although the tariff has reduced a large amount of expenses, the business tax in various places in Ming Dynasty is more than 3000 million taels of silver every year. This figure is no different from astronomical figures for Ming Dynasty ten years ago.

At that time, the tax revenue of Ming Dynasty was only more than 400 million taels a year, and the imperial court wanted to break one tael of silver into two petals, but it is different now, the construction has been carried out in the past two years, and the silver is spent like running water.

"Either... levy more commercial taxes, or return to normal land tax collection, which brother Liu thinks is more appropriate?" Zhu Cihong seemed to have considered this matter already.

Merchants have no country, so it is not too much to levy some taxes on them, right?
Under Liu Hongjian's suggestion, the imperial court exempted people from taxation and halved it. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are widely planted in various places in Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of food in the north and south. Isn't it too much for the tax to return to normal?

"It's not right!" Liu Hongjian lifted the quilt, he felt that Xiao Zhu was playing tricks again.

This is also a common problem in the past dynasties. Whenever the court is short of money, the emperor will start to increase taxes and taxes. After all, he has not received nine years of compulsory education, and he does not think that the money is in the hands of the people?

Tax increases lead to riots, and then the people are burned, pitiful scorched earth, and so on, it can be seen that the only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans never learn lessons.

The people of Ming Dynasty managed to linger on their last days, and they were still tossing around. The formulation of the commercial tax was determined after many days of discussion by officials from various parties. The commercial tax was added rashly. Do you think the money is paid by the merchants?

In the end, it must be added to the common people. Things are expensive, money is not enough, food is not enough, and troubles will start again. This is what your father realized so painfully. Little brother, can you grow some snacks!
Zhu Cihong didn't dare to refute after being scolded by Liu Hongjian. He felt that he knew too little and was too one-sided. At the same time, he wondered why Liu Qing seemed to understand everything.

"It's possible to increase the tax items for luxury goods. How about this? I'll talk to the people from the household department in a few days." Liu Hongjian thought for a while.

The commercial tax on leather goods, jewellery, jewelry, etc. does not matter. The common people can't afford them, so if you want to squeeze them out, you can squeeze them out of the pockets of the rich. This is harmless.

"Your Majesty, although Daming is much better than the previous two years, you still can't take it lightly. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, refrain from extravagance and frugality, and listen to the words of the saint." Liu Hongjian sighed.

Zhu Cihong faced financial pressure and government pressure, but Liu Hongjian faced military pressure. Zhu Cihong could ignore it, but he couldn't. One mistake would be a huge loss to Ming Dynasty.

"I know that if the treasury is really short of money, I will make up for it with the money from the internal funds." Zhu Cihong immediately said.

He was a little puzzled. In his impression, Liu Qing hated the words of a sage the most. Why did he sound like an old master today? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with him for holding his inner money and not letting him go?

How did Liu Hongjian know that Zhu Cihong's inner activities were so rich, he was just talking casually.

"It's time, I'm going to Japan." Liu Hongjian continued.
