After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 144 Setting up a company to enrich the people
Qingzhou royal family? !
Since Xuanguo is one of the largest cotton and grain households, and is related to the Su family by marriage, it is not impossible for the Wang family to be the imperial merchant.

However, what is the relationship between changing the imperial merchants and filling the treasury?

Thinking so, Chu Yuchen said the same thing.

He Beiting glanced at the Seventh Prince indifferently. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes said, Your Highness, do you have a brain?
But Zhou Xining burst out laughing honestly and bluntly.

"Your Highness, Bei Ting said earlier that the emperor's business competition seems to be fair, but in fact it is controlled secretly by the court ministers, so they must not be busy in vain, right?
The commission, if all the commission goes to the treasury.Do the math, how many imperial merchants there are in Xuanguo.

The courtier once heard the cousin of the Su family mention that the money that the Su family sent to the Princess Mansion in the old capital every year is at least this amount..."

Zhou Xining made a gesture while talking.

Chu Yuchen looked at the number represented by the gesture, and his eyes widened suddenly, "5 taels?"

No, if it was 5 taels, Zhou Xining wouldn't have such an expression.It is 50 taels! !This number shocked him instantly.

Zhou Xining smiled and said without saying a word: "My cousin of the Su family said that on the surface, the Princess Mansion participates in [-]% of the tribute brocade business, but in fact the Su family sends nearly [-]% of it every year, and it's not the tribute brocade business but the entire brocade business. Seventy percent of the forging business.

This is also because the Su family is the in-law of Zhou's family, and the eldest princess participates in the shares, directly avoiding the middle class.After being exploited layer by layer, the other imperial merchants might not even have a [-]% profit left, and some even lost money.

Your Highness must be wondering, since the profit is so thin and even a loss, why are there so many people rushing to compete for the promotion?Because the imperial merchant's flag is easy to use.Hitting the Huangshang flag is equivalent to telling others that there are people in our court, saying that local ruffians and rogues dare not bully you along the way, and that even ordinary local officials will do more things for you.

His Highness also said just now that merchants do not fight with officials.There is no one behind the wealthy businessmen and tycoons from all over the country, either they are protected by someone above, or they share profits with the local government.When His Highness has free time, he can learn about the foundations of the various imperial merchants in Xuan Kingdom, and then he can understand everything. "

Although the imperial merchants are also merchants, which one is not intertwined and intertwined.Just like the Lu family in Xuancheng, there has been a house dedicated to business affairs for generations, and some people have been officials in the court for generations. It is a well-known family in Xuancheng.Even so, his family's status as an imperial merchant took the efforts of several families to obtain it.

Chu Yuchen ground his teeth.

If he had known that those courtiers were all so rich, he shouldn't have let them go so easily last time, it was really hateful.Even though they are all so rich, they only asked them to spend a little bit to support Yizhou, but one by one seemed to kill them.

Damn, hate, really hateful!

Ignoring the Seventh Prince's increasingly ugly face, Zhou Xining continued:
"All officials in the court open their mouths to be contemptuous of businessmen, who only value interest money, but who gets the interest money, and who can really say clearly.

So, it seems that all the money from the national treasury was bought, but in fact, most of it was put into their pockets by officials at all levels in the form of a commission.

Bei Ting asked His Highness to replace the Emperor Shang, which is equivalent to directly cutting off the middle part.As for the money in the middle, can Your Highness calculate it?

In this way, the courtier gave His Royal Highness a set of simple numbers for comparison. The price of rice on the market is one liang of silver per stone of polished rice, while the actual settlement of the rice that the imperial merchants supply to the imperial court is one liang of silver per stone of polished rice. What about the price of the rice you pick? "

"One to two to seven." Chu Yuchen said, "It's almost doubled. That is to say, there are people in the court who eat at both ends, digging up the treasury and suppressing the imperial merchants."

He Beiting shook his head and said: "It's right to eat at both ends, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it was done by one person. How many people passed through the process from the emperor's merchant sending rice into the warehouse to stamping and settlement? The left servant of the household department, the second prince's person. He borrowed his position More than [-]% of the money collected secretly went into the second prince's treasury. [-]% was distributed equally to the Lang officials who had handled it, and [-]% was managed by familiar officials from various ministries, and it was actually put into his own pocket. There may not be [-]% left."

Chu Yuchen was stunned. Is the court of Xuan Guo already so decayed?

It is said that if you are not deaf or blind, you will not be a Weng, so the old emperor said that the disease is far away from court affairs.This is the reason why He Beiting thanked guests behind closed doors and refused to enter the court?And Xia Feng would rather be a street bully who gets poked in the back than take over the Wuxuan Division...

Chu Yuchen felt very tired in an instant. He always knew that most of the officials in the DPRK and China were not very innocent, so he forced them to donate money to help Yicheng, but he never thought that it had become so corrupt.

No wonder the national treasury is empty all the year round, no wonder Master Qin looks like everyone is guarding against thieves, no wonder the father is so difficult to do anything, no wonder the second brother and his party in the old capital failed to get a penny from the Zhou family, and they successfully repaired Liyang The hall also brought back a lot of silver.

It turned out that all the money in the treasury went into the pockets of individuals.

Chu Yuchen suddenly had a strong killing intent in his heart.

Kill corrupt officials and help the treasury!

Sensing Chu Yuchen's killing intent, He Beiting continued:
"So, what His Highness thinks, the emperor is already doing it. Just killing greed and helping the state treasury may not have much effect. Just like Zuo Shilang, once the incident happens, he must be the chief culprit of the Yi clan who ransacked his family, but from him How much money can the government copy out?
Zuo Shilang is not the only one, almost all of them are in a similar situation, either they have someone on their head, or they have a continuous network of connections, everyone takes a little, and if they copy it alone, they won't be able to copy much money at all, unless they don't care about it. All in one pot.

This is also the reason why the emperor knew that the court was decaying, but he never moved lightly.It's not that he can't move, but that the emperor wants to steal money to keep people, and severely punish those who are greedy, so as to kill chickens and monkeys.And those capable officials who can do things, as well as those officials who can keep the bottom line and be greedy and restrained, still have to be retained.

After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

So before leaving, the emperor notified the matter to the minister, and gave the minister a purple gold dragon order, allowing the minister to act cheaply along the way. "

Only now did Zhou Xining fully understand that He Beiting was clearly not infected with the epidemic, so why did Linfeng trap him in the East City for him?

Chu Yuchen also suddenly realized: "So, raising medicine for Yicheng is just a cover, and your trip is actually to secretly investigate the connections between local officials and noble gentry and ministers of the court? That's why you left the team and sneaked out as soon as you left the capital. Therefore, on the surface you were trapped in the East City due to the epidemic, but in fact you were wearing a fake leather to check dirty and corrupt..."

He Beiting glanced at the Seventh Prince, "The reason why His Highness was asked to change the cotton and grain imperial merchants is because the cotton and grain are directly supplied to the army, and there will be no trouble at any time. In fact, what I really think is that we can learn from Linguo and set up a marketing department outside the six ministries. It specializes in the management of imperial merchants, border trade and sea trade, so that all commercial matters can be approached in the Shibo Department, and all merchants can operate in an upright manner with tax deeds, and no longer need to be exploited layer by layer."

The wealth of the people makes the country strong.

Chu Yuchen stood up abruptly. If this happened, the treasury would have money in the account at any time, and it would still be a steady stream of money.
