Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 110 What's wrong with playing a little temper?
Is this Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion?
Doesn't count.

He didn't say he wouldn't do it, he just explained his weakness and confessed that he wasn't very good at using tricks, but he didn't say he wouldn't go.

Anyway, the secret fold said that the King of Han had the final say. Isn't it his choice to destroy it?
If you obey the will, then do as they say!

Of course, this is an unreasonable statement. After all, everyone knows that the old man's secret envelope contains not only compensation for the Hanwang family, but also the urgency to solve the Jiaozhi problem.

You can't avoid it by being clever.

Mu Ang had no choice but to truthfully report the news to Yingtian Mansion, and then sit back and wait at home.

On the other side is the study room of Hanwang's new home.

"Are you really not going to intervene?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son who was sitting in front of him, his face full of worry, and...

in a hurry.

Once ambition is born, it cannot dissipate in a short time.

Although Zhu Gaoxu agreed to the vassal status and accepted the fact that he could not compete with his eldest brother, it was impossible for him to give up his ambition to compete for the heir apparent.

People are like this, knowing clearly that they can't do it, but still holding on to the last trace of fantasy.

To put it nicely, it means you have goals, ideals, and motivation to fight. To put it badly, it’s just wishful thinking.

"Why do you want to intervene?" Zhu Zhanhe spread his hands and his careless air became stronger.

"Isn't this the rule set by Taizu Emperor Gao to make nobles but not come to the people, to enfeoff the land but not to treat the people, to live in salary but not to manage things?"

"Our family has been a vassal since we came to Yunnan. Naturally, we have to abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty and violate the rules..."

At this point, Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows: "What if people settle accounts after the fall? Does what grandpa said work? This goes against the teachings of our ancestors!"

"If you want to do it, you can do it! I won't do it anyway!"

Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

He knew that his son was trying his best to help him fight for his rights. He didn't understand it before, but now that he understands it, he will naturally not hold back his son.

"Just talk to them, I don't care about this." Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes, took out the gold medal letter talisman from his sleeve, hooked the rope of the letter talisman with his index finger and swung it up.

"I, let's go and figure out the source of our family's future money first. This is no small matter."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the gold medal talisman in his son's hand and nodded slightly.

"What you want to do is your business. Don't bring me in!" Before leaving, Zhu Zhanhe was still a little worried and told his father again.

"I have two hundred guards. I will at least visit a few big tea gardens this time. I won't be back for ten days and a half."

"I know." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

The tea-horse trade is a big deal. The old man handed the gold medal letter to his family, so he must take it seriously.

The tea-horse trading market actually represents more than just tea-horse trading.

Normally, the gold medal talisman is divided into two parts. According to the rules, one part should be in the hands of the imperial court, and the other part should be in the hands of the tribal chiefs in Uszangdusi, Kansai Seven Guards and other places.

During the transaction, both parties take out their own half, and the transaction can only be made after confirmation.

In fact, few people know about the gold medal letter system, because this system has only existed for a short period of time, only more than [-] years.

Because this system relies on strong national power to exist.

Historically, after the Yongle Dynasty, the influence of the gold medal talisman slowly faded. Finally, after the Tumubao Incident, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty was seriously damaged, and the gold medal talisman system disappeared.

But there is a saying that the Ming Dynasty is really the last peak period of the Han people.

Since the implementation of the gold medal talisman system, the prices in the tea-horse trade in the 16th year of Hongwu were [-] jins of tea for a good horse, [-] jins of tea for a medium horse, and [-] jins of tea for a low-grade horse.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, the price changed, becoming 120 catties, [-] catties and [-] catties respectively.

The last two changes were made last year, the eighth year of Yongle.

At the beginning of the eighth year of Yongle, the prices of tea and horses in the mutual market were one hundred catties, eighty catties and sixty catties respectively. But in the second half of the eighth year of Yongle, the prices became sixty catties, forty catties and twenty catties. .

In just one year, the declines reached 40%, 50% and 63% respectively, which is terrifying.

The reason is the great victory that Ming Dynasty achieved on the grassland!

The destruction of the Tatars and the newly built Jingguan greatly frightened the clan leaders everywhere, and at the same time brought unprecedented confidence to the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, according to the records in the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty: the best horses and high-quality horses each folded 250 catties of tea, the medium ones 220 catties, and the inferior ones 200 catties.

Therefore, in Zhu Di's view, it was not excessive at all to give the Han family the right to trade tea and horses, and he even felt that he still owed something.

Because Yunnan is not the only place where tea is produced in the Central Plains. Zhejiang and Fujian are also places where tea is produced.

Therefore, even if the civil servants resolutely opposed it, Zhu Di still forced them to settle the matter.

However, the reason why the civil servants objected was not to hand over the tea-horse trade to the King of Han. With the Mu family in Yunnan, the civil servants were relatively relieved.

Even in the worst case scenario, at least he can get the news when the King of Han gathers his troops and respond in advance.

The reason why the civil servant objected was that the tea-horse trade under the golden talisman had another special meaning.

You must know that places like Uszangdusi and Guanxi Qiwei are also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people living on the land are naturally the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Since they are citizens of the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that they must pay taxes.

People in the Central Plains region pay taxes with grain and silk, cotton, linen and other items. However, Us Zandusi and Kansai Qiwei and other places are not grain producing areas, and there is no cultivation of mulberry, linen, and cotton. So what should they use to pay taxes?

The answer is horses.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the tax payment range was different depending on the tribal population. There were three households that paid one horse, four households that paid one horse, and five households that paid one horse.

These taxes would be sent to the court along with the tea and horse trade every three years.

Now, the tea-horse trade market in Yunnan has been handed over to the Hanwang family, which means that the tax collection rights in many places also belong to the Hanwang family.

This is what civil servants cannot accept, because the difference between being able to collect taxes and being unable to collect taxes is really too great, and the influence they have is completely different.

However, this has nothing to do with him, Zhu Zhanhe! ?
Since the old man has sent the gold medal letter, it means that the Han Dynasty has the right to trade tea and horses in the Yun area. From now on, the tea trade in Yunnan will be under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

Civil servant?What a fart!

If you have the ability, go and beep with the old man!
