Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 161 A whip method

Zhongshu Province.

I don’t know since when, including several ministers of the imperial dynasty, they all believed that...

As long as Su Xian is sure to leave the main hall, then the crime of Su Guiyuan leaking the "printing plate" can be truly implemented!

Because this represents the original intention of the Holy One.

Early this morning, Li Wentai, the Minister of Household Affairs, came in a hurry. At the same time, Chen Ning, the imperial censor of the Yushitai, Zhao Ting, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment.

The three law divisions gathered together.

As for Li Wentai's visit, it was because Chaojingyuan should belong to the "Household Department".

"Prime Minister, when will we interrogate Su Guiyuan?" Zhao Ting, the young minister of Dali Temple, was actually quite speechless.

Su Guiyuan has been caught. What's strange is that they can't interrogate him even though he's in Dali Temple?

But he saw that Su Xian had already spoken:
"I guess the third point you want to make is that the People's Liberation Army and the People's Liberation Army are part of the state's tax revenue. If the People's Service and People's Liberation Army is to be changed, then in the future, the customs, salt tax, and even land and corvee taxes will be included in the state's tax revenue. …Wait, all kinds of taxes will change because of this, right?”

……

"I did talk about some things, but they have nothing to do with Su Guiyuan's matters."

Every strategy adopted after the founding of the People's Republic of China is in line with the current national conditions. Not to mention taxation, which is the foundation of the country.

"Otherwise, if Su Guiyuan makes a mistake not long after the new banknotes are issued, even national affairs will be in chaos!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Is this really the third point Li Xiyan wanted to say?

"Then let them watch!" Hu Weiyong said decisively, "The Holy One just asked them to watch, and he didn't ask them to stop the Third Division for interrogation!"

While talking, Hu Weiyong stood up and murmured: "The official ends and the official explains?"

"Let the trial begin immediately!"

"Let's not talk about the absurdity of the official explanation. Your Majesty will never agree not to say it!"

"What does it have to do with his father?"

"How much people's energy and mental effort will be spent on such a complicated matter?"

After Zhao Ting once again said a few words about the annoyance in his heart, he finally said what was on his mind, "Shouldn't Su Xian not beg for mercy on behalf of his father again today?"

Zhao Ting hurriedly said: "The people in the Commandery's Mansion are watching..."

"Really?"

Li Xiyan also looked at Su Xian, with a hint of doubt in her voice, "How to simplify it?"

That's what they're worried about.

at the same time.

The reason why he didn't interrupt just now was precisely because what Li Xiyan said was so right.

"Your Majesty is in the main hall again today. Do you really want to wait for the "Gewuyuan Year-end Summary"? But I really don't understand. It is obviously a state matter, so what does it have to do with the Gewuyuan?"

Private matters are private matters, and public matters are public matters.

Finally, the news from the palace came out.

But Li Xiyan nodded.

As for the third point... He was wondering what Li Xiyan was going to say when Su Xian interrupted.

Although they did not think that His Majesty would be interfered by Su Xian on such an important matter, with the Kongyin case at hand, they were worried about the possibility.

"Not bad!"

"Has this kid really given up?"

"simplify?"

"Next, how can the Ming Dynasty ensure that the government's official settlement can meet the country's expenditures in the complicated taxation, and can it even be better than before? Rather than worse than before."

Hu Weiyong discussed several state affairs with them again.

Li Xiyan raised her hands and said loudly to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty sees it in his eyes and knows that the restructuring of the country is far from being as simple as just talking on paper!"

The Qingjun Duwei Mansion personally takes care of it. What does the Holy One mean? There is no accurate explanation now.

"Wait a little longer. The Holy Father invited many people to the main hall today, so he didn't intend to hide it from everyone."

Hu Weiyong knew that several people came here just to find out what His Majesty meant. When the Tribunal of Justice would hear the case, this was a major event in the near future.

At this moment, even Zhu Yuanzhang and his son couldn't help but look at Su Xian.

"It's really just a matter of Gewuyuan, without asking for mercy?" Hu Weiyong was stunned.

The first and second points he just mentioned. In line with the wasteland of the old Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of a new country, it was precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the efficiency of "money and food" could be maximized.

Really unable to figure it out, Hu Weiyong looked at Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment.

"The Holy One asked the truth to investigate the case of the envoy of Chaojingyuan who stole the printing plate. The Third Law Division has the right to interrogate!"

"Taxation is a whole, and all the links are intertwined. If the people's income and the people's solution become the official's and the official's solution, then the physical tax will definitely change. One link will change, and the other will change."

"Trial!"

Seeing that he wanted to continue talking.

Su Xian interrupted: "It is indeed not as simple as talking on paper, but the gentleman really thinks too much and thinks too complicatedly."

Su Xian took over what he said before and continued: "Actually, as I just said, the two... have no connection at all."

"Since sir has asked three questions, I will answer him with one answer."

"The fundamental purpose of official closure and official explanation..."

“First, make the entire country’s revenue and expenditure operations more efficient!”

"Second, make the entire taxation and expenditure process of the country more transparent!"

"Third, let the center of the imperial court control the place faster. Let the people of the world, the millions of subordinates at the grassroots level of Ming Dynasty, know where they live and who they are working for - Ming Dynasty!"

Say three points in a row.

Li Xiyan was stunned, because what Su Xian said seemed to be completely opposite to her.

Others who saw this scene couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's the use of talking about this? But the obstacle is there!" Li Xiyan shouted again: "Su Xian, just tell me the method instead of the result. How can Guan Shu Guan Jie do this?"

"Why can't it be done?" At this moment, Su Xian looked at Zhu Xiongying, and even at Chang Sen and others.

"Let's take Gewuyuan as an example. If from now on, Gewuyuan purchases all the raw materials, and even the wood and stone used to build houses in the future, they will have to be transported from very far away..."

"If the previous method is still followed, the shopkeepers of each store are responsible for themselves. As the head of the school, the emperor's grandson does not need to be responsible for anything and only collects money. Isn't this what everyone thinks of as the people's liberation?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Seeing the big from the small is exactly like this.

"Once it becomes official, according to Mr. Li's idea, the emperor's eldest grandson will pay for these materials himself, including but not limited to wood, stone, even cloth, silk, mountain delicacies and game... and then transport all these things to the emperor. In the hands of the eldest grandson, you can distribute it according to personal needs? "

"Not bad!" As soon as Su Xian finished speaking, Li Xiyan nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

"The imperial court's annual tax revenue, in addition to food, also includes cloth, silk, tea, salt, copper and iron, and other things related to people's livelihood and general merchandise. Just the loss on the road is not an ordinary figure. If it is transported to the capital...even It needs to be transported to the capital, but like tax grains, it is transported to the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs in each province. "

"Then the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court distributes them one by one according to the needs of each local county? If this continues, how much will be wasted?"

Li Xiyan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, if taxation is like this, how can we achieve the convenience and transparency that Su Xian said?"

"How much will be wasted just by going back and forth?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded silently.

Queen Ma and Zhu Biao also knew in their hearts that this was the truth.

But when Su Xian looked at everyone's reactions, he secretly thought: Sure enough!

People's vision has limitations. Just as the current taxation method is still mainly based on physical tax, so they subconsciously interpret the official conclusion in a wrong way.

Su Xian wanted to elicit these thoughts from them.

Then forcefully correct it!
now. He smiled slightly and suddenly said: "But... what I said about the official ending and the official explanation is not as troublesome as what sir said. Didn't I just say it all, was it a simplification?"

present.

Ignoring everyone's astonishment, he continued:

"It's still Gewuyuan. Just transport it to the emperor's grandson first, don't you think it's too troublesome?"

"Receipt is receipt, expenditure is expenditure. The two always run in parallel and must not be confused!"

this moment.

Su Xian looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, why not throw away all the physical transportation and consumption! Change your mind!"

"In order to make the results more intuitive, I still use Gewuyuan."

"Every shopkeeper under the Yuege Wuyuan, no matter what they do now or what they will do in the future, I don't need physical goods! For example, what kind of MSG, refined salt, iron ore, cloth village, copper mine... etc. may appear in the future. ”

"Gewuyuan doesn't want physical objects, it only wants one thing - treasure banknotes!"

moment.

As soon as the last two words came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused at first, then his eyes brightened.

Zhu Biao also came to his senses, as if he had fallen into a strange circle and was suddenly kicked out. The invisible wall in front of him that restricted him had long since disappeared.

Instead, there is a vast sea and sky!

Li Xiyan murmured to herself, "Bao Chao?"

Su Xian continued: "I just closed it!"

As I said before: "Receipt is receipt, expenditure is expenditure, the two are never confused."

"In the process of collecting treasure banknotes, the same principle applies."

"Still with the example just now, various shopkeepers under Gewuyuan need to buy a lot of things. As Mr. Li said before, I thought it was too troublesome and it was impossible to buy those things back first and then distribute them."

"But, if I ask the shopkeepers of the Gewuyuan to estimate the things they need, and even the salaries of all the craftsmen, in treasure notes and submit them, what if I directly issue the treasure notes?"

"Of course, we can continue to simplify it!"

"I can even set up a materials yamen that specializes in purchasing materials, just like the Shangshang Supervisor of Kilometers, who is responsible for purchasing these things and doesn't need to worry about anything else."

"From now on, whatever materials each shopkeeper needs, apart from salary, can be obtained free of charge from the Materials Office."

"Of course, again, the current Gewuyuan is too small and is only located in the capital. If it spreads to all provinces in the future, it will be nothing more than expanding the material yamen and establishing material branches in each province."

Having said this.

Su Xian looked at them seriously and said the most crucial words.

"From now on, goods are goods, just goods, just like the original intention when the bank was established!"

"No matter how precious something is, it is always cargo."

"And the treasure banknote is the treasure banknote that is superior to all things! It is the only treasure banknote in the Ming Dynasty that can buy anything!"

Swish!
As soon as these words came out.

The place fell into complete silence.

Li Xiyan looked confused. No matter how talented he was, he was trying to connect Gewuyuan, Baochao, and even the current tax system.

Falling into these three requires a long period of thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, although familiar with state affairs, were also shaken in their hearts.

only because……

Su Xian's words just now seemed to convey a concept that they had never thought of before!
In other words, even if an idea occasionally strikes me, I quickly give up because of the current reality, shaking my head and sighing that it is impossible.

But now, it seems... feasible to connect again.

As for other people, such as Zhu Xiongying, Chang Sen, Xu Yingxu, Zhu Chun and other smart children, they are still at a loss and have no way to connect them. They can only draw interest from what Su Xian said about the Gewuyuan.

"What is he saying?"

At the same time, Princess Chongning was confused at the moment, "Wasn't he just talking about the people's liberation and the government's liberation?"

"Why are you shaking your head now and getting involved with Baoqian again?"

For her, the purpose of coming here today was to find a good job for her "consort" who was about to marry.

I can't let myself lose the limelight in front of the sisters in the future.

But from the beginning, Su Xian never mentioned Bao Chao, and he thought the other party had given up.

As a result, it went around and around, why did the topic come back here again?

just.

No one answered her doubts this time.

Princess Ningguo closed her eyes tightly and seemed to be thinking in her mind.

Princess Lin'an still looked gentle and gentle, showing a slight smile when she looked over.

Chang Jing looked at Su Xian with a smile.

Su Xian, the kid, finally showed his fox tail.

Improve again - the treasure position!
"Hey! Sister, sister-in-law, Miaoyun, you guys are talking!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Chongning immediately pouted, showing dissatisfaction.

"Don't make any noise!"

Princess Ning Guo's thinking was disrupted, her eyes were sharp, and she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Why is she so fierce? Sister, look at her!"

Princess Ning Guo sighed bitterly and wanted to slap the girl next to her, but in the end she could only look at Xu Miaoyun, who was about the same age as her.

"Miaoyun?"

"Using the Gewuyuan to see the country's tax revenue, it's very obvious to increase the value of treasure banknotes."

"Let me be enlightened..."

After a pause, Xu Miaoyun said slowly: "From now on, there will be no tax in kind."

"Only treasure notes!"

Her voice was not loud, but the moment it sounded, it attracted the attention of many people.

Princess Chongning exclaimed, "What? How is this possible?"

Her exclamation was so loud that it completely broke the silence.

"Miaoyun is right!"

Queen Ma came back to her senses. For the first time, there was no gentle smile on her face, but serious eyebrows.

The first queen of the Ming Dynasty, she has been with Zhu Yuanzhang since he conquered the country. Zhu Yuanzhang's occasionally angry and overbearing orders were often eliminated by her invisible!
After the founding of the country, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics!

This is an iron rule.

But when the couple were together, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of her first when he was hesitating a lot.

At this moment, she had obviously understood everything Su Xian said.

"All physical taxes and miscellaneous taxes are turned into fiscal taxes? Is this your simplification?"

"That's right, abandoning miscellaneous taxes and starting a new era of treasure money is called..."

Su Xian thought about future generations, since no matter what, Ming Dynasty would always reach this point.

It's better to let him start it now.

"One whip!"
