Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 355 Your Majesty, this matter may cause trouble!

Chen Yansheng, Li Mingzhong and the others opened up the situation in Tianjin and called for the withdrawal of guards and the establishment of the prefectural affairs to be implemented. If Emperor Chongzhen was in the court, he had to bring favorable winds to Tianjin, so that Tianjin could take off.

A new tariff pattern opened up by Chongwenmen Customs.

There is an event that Xuanfu Town opened a forum.

He has accumulated experience in transforming the capital and so on.

These are all reproducible.

If Tianjin Zhili Prefecture can clearly open maritime affairs, then many of the above models can be implemented one by one under the premise of conforming to Tianjin.

Tariffs are also good.

Business tax worth mentioning.

Even tea tax, mining tax and other taxes.

Emperor Chongzhen had to use his own method to implement it one by one, so that the interests of the small group that were firmly held by them would be spit out.

"Bi Qing, the government affairs are complicated these days, and I don't have time to summon the Qing family alone." Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting firmly on the dragon chair, looked at Bi Ziyan and said.

"Earlier, I worked with Qing's family to plan a dispute in Xuanfu Town. How is it going? In addition, how is the progress of the new plan proposed by the household department?"

Emperor Chongzhen could not directly mention this matter if he wanted Tianjin to open the sea and add another source of income to the country. He had to ask the officials of Yousi to submit memorials.

The complicated political situation of the Ming Dynasty made Emperor Chongzhen understand that he should not end up fighting directly with the civil servants, as that would damage the emperor's prestige.

The fight was won, which attracted a lot of infamy.

Losing the fight brought a lot of infamy.

The right to speak in public opinion, which is controlled by civil servants, Qingliu, and scholars, is not so easy to change hands.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the matter of Xuanfu town has been decided."

Bi Ziyan saluted and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has selected officials to go to Xuanfu Town to govern Zhangjiakou, to set up a Siya Office, and to set up the Thirteen Banks.

However, after all, Guochao has shelved the forum for a long time, and it will take some time for the forum set up by Xuanfu Town to restore the previous situation.

As for the new policies proposed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, they are steadily advancing. Now that spring plowing is imminent, even if they want to see results, it will take at least half a year. "

Bi Ziyan was still quite scrupulous about the unpredictable emperor. After all, if he said something wrong, it would be bad if the emperor punished him.

It's just that Bi Ziyan didn't know that his ability in the financial department was quite recognized by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was the imperial treasurer of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, it's about the same as I thought."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "However, I believe in Bi Qing's ability, handing over the household department to Bi Qing will surely relieve the country's worries.

By the way, Bi Qing, I have something to explain to Qing.

The matter of evacuating the guards and setting up the state in Tianjin has been clarified. Chen Yansheng, the prefect of Tianjin, and Li Mingzhong, the general of Tianjin, have lived up to my expectations.

Tianjin is the hub of water transportation and the gateway to defend Gyeonggi.

I feel that Tianjin Zhili Prefecture must be well developed in the future, so I want to call Bi Qing, and in the name of the Ministry of Households, call Tianjin Xingkai Maritime Affairs. "

Bi Ziyan: "..."

Sure enough, something happened.

How did Kai Hai get involved?

Maritime affairs are things that are not easy to mention in the court, and it is not convenient to mention them.

Seeing Bi Ziyan's hesitant expression, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that due to the inertia of the small-scale peasant economy, the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards opening the sea, although the Yu Longqing Dynasty opened the sea, but the subsequent attitude adopted, It's obvious that you don't support or oppose it, but don't mention the negative attitude.

Especially during the Longqing Dynasty's opening of the sea, although the sea ban was lifted, there were many cages and shackles built.

It is said to open the sea, but in fact it is to want an additional tax channel.

It's a pity that in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, a large number of smuggling groups do not pay customs duties at all.

This led to a large amount of silver, although it was remitted to Daming, but most of it fell into private hands.

As a result, these vested interest groups either merged the land or hid it in a cellar.

On the contrary, at the national level, they did not get much benefit.

Faced with the oppression of various unfavorable factors, they can only apportion the three major salaries, and use the method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall to solve the immediate troubles. '

"Your Majesty, if this matter is raised by the household department, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the court."

Bi Ziyan hesitated again and again, bit the bullet, and bowed: "Tianjin is an extremely important place. If there is any trouble due to maritime affairs, I am afraid..."

"Bi Qing is worrying too much."

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "With Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong in Tianjin, I believe they are capable of dealing with a maritime incident.

These are the rules and regulations for maritime affairs drawn up by me, you can take a look at them first.

According to my expectation, if Tianjin can carry out maritime affairs, at least it can pay millions of taels of customs duties for the country every year. This is also a good thing for the Ministry of Households, isn't it? "

Pang Tianshou, who was waiting at the side, bowed slightly, took the text handed by his emperor, and walked towards Bi Ziyan.

What kind of rules for opening the sea can make Tianjin pay so much money?
On the contrary, Bi Ziyan, who heard the words, began to ponder in his heart at this moment.

Bi Ziyan, who knows more about maritime affairs, can't figure out what kind of strategy can levy so much tariff money.

"Open maritime affairs in Zhili Prefecture, Tianjin...First, set up Tianjin Customs to take charge of Tianjin maritime affairs; second, allow all marine merchants to dock; third, allow maritime merchants from Western countries to stop at Tianjin Seaport; Four……"

After seeing the detailed rules for opening the sea announced by Emperor Chongzhen, Bi Ziyan opened his eyes slightly, his face changed slightly, but his heart was full of surprise.

Where is Kaihai?

This is clearly the complete lifting of the sea ban!
Bi Ziyan was aware of the Longqing Dynasty's opening of the sea, but although the sea ban was lifted, there were many restrictions. When it came to the Chongzhen Dynasty, they were all relaxed.

In particular, the loosening of these restrictions will still affect Tianjin. If there is any disturbance, or the Western barbarians are in chaos, it will inevitably affect the stability of Gyeonggi.

"His Majesty……"

"Bi Qing, you don't need to persuade me any more."

Emperor Chongzhen interrupted Bi Ziyan, who wanted to persuade him, stood up, and said: "At present, the country's internal and external troubles, if we don't try to actively develop financial resources, so that the national treasury will become full, once the rogues and Jianlu rebel, all will be destroyed. If it breaks out, how passive will the country fall into?

The Household Department is in charge of the Ming Dynasty's money, food and taxes, and Bi Qing is a good minister I rely on.

I hope that Bi Qing can consider what I think, and this matter will be settled in this way, and I will plan to do it with the cabinet vote.

If there are any divisions who object to this matter, then in the name of Zhongzhi, I will directly promulgate to Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, ordering maritime affairs, but all corresponding tariffs will be charged to internal funds. "

Bi Ziyan: "..."

Emperor Chongzhen's move undoubtedly put the household department and the cabinet on fire.
