Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 267 Big Action (2)

'A tax increase of more than 200 million yuan?You also underestimate the potential of grassland trade. '

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head secretly, apparently not agreeing with what Bi Ziyan said. Even if the thirteen lines of business are discussed, the daily management is the responsibility of merchants, but if they can be well regulated, the annual tax and entry fee, at least three or four million taels of silver .

The most important point is that the re-opening of the northern border market will allow Daming to obtain excellent war horses, which is what Emperor Chongzhen values ​​most.

Economic means can be used to achieve double benefits at the political and military levels. Even if corruption, collusion with captives, power-money transactions, etc. occur during the operation process, Emperor Chongzhen can accept it.

It is human nature to love money.

But having a life to earn doesn’t mean having a life to spend!
Every year, the inner factory and Jinyiwei have clearly set targets, and they would rather kill by mistake than let them go, and use iron and blood to kill rape again and again to tell Daming what price they will pay for violating the will of the country and the laws and regulations of the country.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen shaking his head, Bi Ziyan showed a surprised expression. He thought he had said something wrong, but it is indeed a good idea to create thirteen lines of discussion.

Governing the local area is the strong point of Ming officials, but matters related to business are not the strong point of Ming officials, and the half-official and half-civilian nature of discussion and thirteen lines are effectively combined.

"Bi Qing, re-open the Northern Xinjiang Dispute Market, and set up the Discussion Market with thirteen lines, and call the Ministry of Households to handle it." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Ziyan and said with a smile.

"How to deal with it specifically, how to select the personnel of the [-]th line in the market, you have to worry more, so that the country can increase the tax revenue."

Bi Ziyan cupped his hands and said, "The minister accepts the decree!"

In the context of the small peasant economy, it is not easy to find some talents who are proficient in the economic field among the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the corresponding talents were cultivated, the use of half-official and half-civilian institutions to replace the actual needs of the country was decided by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration.

It is unrealistic to govern Daming, which has a vast territory and complicated conditions, and want to get rid of the civil servants and manage it well by itself.

The New Deal cannot be implemented in a day, it needs a process of accumulation in the early stage. Before that, Emperor Chongzhen had to use various methods to achieve checks and balances in the court and relative stability in the general situation.

In fact, unknowingly, Emperor Chongzhen had added two financial sources for the fragile finances of the Ming Dynasty, one Chongwenmen Tax Customs, and one Discussion Field Thirteen Banks, both of which could provide stable tax revenue.

If these two matters can be implemented one by one, although not all of Daming's problems can be solved, at least some of the urgent needs can be solved.

Seeing Bi Ziyan's leaving back, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, pointed to Wang Chengen and said, "Wang Banban, ask the thirteenth line of the market.

Your inner factory should screen some reliable merchants and join them. In the future, the workshops and factories under the jurisdiction of the inner factory will mass-produce cotton cloth, salt sugar and other quasi-sale products, and some of them will be sold to customs in exchange for high-quality war horses. There are also things like sheep and cattle. "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly cupped his hands.

Although it is said that the thirteen lines governing the market and managing the market cannot ask the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court to directly interfere, but indirect trade must still be done.

The foreign trade channel organized at the state level seized a certain market share and allowed the state-owned economy he created to have an additional stable source of income. Emperor Chongzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

And through this arrangement, it can also effectively play a monitoring role. If there is an act similar to the eight major Shanxi merchants collaborating with the enemy, the inner factory and Jinyiwei can also carry out corresponding anti-evil operations.

"At this time, I don't know what kind of situation Zhou Yuji, Fang Zhenghua and the others are in." After solving the matter on his mind, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, worried that Zhou Yuji, who was fighting traitors on the western front, would be under his command.

"My lord, there shouldn't be any accidents."

Wang Chengen stepped forward to persuade and said: "The generals of the martial arts hall headed by Zhou Yuji, and Fang Zhenghua are all very capable people.

And in Shanxi, there is also the Dongchang team led by eunuch Cao, co-organized by Wang Dehua and Shen Liangzuo.

Although the weather in Shanxi is very cold right now, they will definitely be able to solve these problems and eradicate all the rebels like the eight thieves! "

"I hope so."

Emperor Chongzhen whispered that he was not worried about eradicating the eight major Shanxi merchants. After all, the abilities of Zhou Yuji and Chen Jisheng were all there.

If even a small amount of traitorous businessmen can't be dealt with, then they can go home as soon as possible to pick up their children, and save themselves from wasting time and energy.

The only thing that worried Emperor Chongzhen was that in such a harsh environment, after traveling long distances and carrying out corresponding anti-rape operations, the Yongwei Battalion and Tianxiong Army Headquarters who went to battle would suffer severe frostbite.

"Wang Banban, please remember."

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Wang Chengen and said, "Call the inner factory to organize the corresponding manpower to see if we can solve the wool spinning problem.

During this period, no matter how much money or manpower is needed, we must do our best to meet this matter, and strive to realize mass production of wool spinning as soon as possible.

By the way, you can go to Xu Guangqi again to see if there are any Western missionaries who are proficient in this way. If so, bring them all back, or Western artisans are also fine.

If this matter can be done well, it will not only give Daming more protection from the cold, but also solve the chaos in Mongolia. "

Seeing his own emperor like this, Wang Chengen hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your servant will do it immediately."

For Emperor Chongzhen, if he could use economic and technological means to solve political and military problems, he had to work hard and support him.

Although the sheep on Daming's side are not as good as the sheep on the other side of the ocean, if they can form an industry, they can also help Daming solve many problems.

The so-called empire on which the sun never sets, the accumulation of capital in the early stage was not driven by sheep cannibalism?

Emperor Chongzhen is in a very good mood if he can solve the matter properly, eradicate the Eight Great Shanxi Merchants, cut off the arm of the Jianlu Eight Banners, and obtain corresponding benefits for the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps at this moment, it is still impossible to see the impact and consequences of this matter, but as time goes by, Emperor Chongzhen firmly believes that this effect will be significant.

The advantages brought about by foresight enabled Emperor Chongzhen to jump out of the cage and solve problems from a higher level.

"The matter of the eight major Shanxi merchants has come to an end."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing with his hands behind his back, muttered: "At present, some people in the country are also staring at Xuanfu Town. Taking advantage of the current situation, it's time to set the tone for the Yuan case. It’s time to adjust the position of the direction.”
