Chapter 184 He's Getting Rich
After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he doesn't confront the Queen Mother head-on, it's fine, he finally listened to people's advice.

Seeing Si Jin smiling sweetly, Xiao Qi also heaved a sigh of relief, she really believed in herself and believed everything she said.

The two thought that they were not on the same channel at all. After the accident, they both felt very satisfied.

In these days, the tax and bank from all over the country have been reported to the Ministry of Officials one after another, and the Ministry of Households has also calculated the total amount of tax revenue for this year, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households has written the book in the court hall with his head held high.This year's tax revenue is double that of last year. The Minister of the Household Department is really relieved. Finally, in the first year of his tenure, he has handed over a very satisfactory answer sheet.

Immediately after the household department's notebook was delivered, the next day, the Qianding Division's notebook was also handed over.

Then Xiao Qi opened the booklet, and after reviewing it in court, he couldn't help being surprised, he looked at Su Xingyu and asked: "Su Aiqing, is the quantity on your booklet wrong?"

Everyone looked at the emperor's expression, and couldn't see why it was so unpredictable, so they shifted positions instantly, and everyone's eyes fell on Su Xingyu.

"Reporting to the emperor, the humble minister has agreed that every word is true, and dare not say a single word of nonsense." Su Xingyu replied in a deep voice.

Xiao Qi glanced at Zhezi again, recalling Si Jin's words back then, a big smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He is going to get rich.

Juehu County will become an uninhabited land after natural and man-made disasters, but it is located in a fertile plain. It is only because it is a little closer to the war-torn land that it leads to extinction.Nowadays, the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty exerts iron fists and is assisted by virtuous ministers. After the successful relocation, he has implemented civil affairs extensively, encouraged farming and mulberry, opened canals and paved roads, and encouraged reclamation. A series of policies have been implemented, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the people who signed the contract. .

What's more, in such a time and space, it is the dream of many people to own their own land.The vast majority of the people in the Dayu Dynasty acted as tenants, selling their labor for the aristocrats who owned a lot of land, and obtained very little food to survive.But now, as long as you work hard, you can own your own land.And your land is on the land of Juehu County, and you can still enjoy the protection of the government. This is the most fundamental reason that drives the enthusiasm of these people.

Su Xingyu was an official, benefited the people, was loyal to the king, followed orders from above, and did not take profits from them. With such a general in charge, it was the reason why the policies of the several Juehu counties were implemented most smoothly.One mu of land is harvested twice a year, and the income from the first crop can basically only allow the local people who migrated to feed themselves.But with the implementation of the policy with an iron fist, these people have clear goals, the speed of reclaiming wasteland has great motivation, and the speed of growing food has also been greatly improved.And adapting measures to local conditions, it also spontaneously formed a small group of people with households as the unit to help each other.

One to ten, ten to hundreds, hundreds to thousands, thousands to tens of thousands, the power of tens of thousands of people is so terrifying that even Su Xingyu, the parent official, thought that the land tax from the autumn harvest was his own. Dazzled.After verifying it three times, it was finally accepted.

The agricultural and mulberry income of the six counties has reached a quarter of Dayu's national agricultural and mulberry tax income this year!

This amount is only the first year's post-autumn tax revenue after the reclamation of the six counties. This is the first year!
This means that next year and the year after next year, the income from the crops planted on the reclaimed land will be higher and higher.

Above the court hall, all eyes were on Su Xingyu.Juehu County, which everyone was unwilling to take over at the beginning, is now a golden egg in everyone's eyes, especially the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, who is even more glamorous.

So, Su Xingyu took out the document that he signed at the beginning, and the Secretary of the Household Department was dumbfounded.It is clearly written on it that Juehu County did not get a copper coin from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs repeatedly obstructed the implementation of administrative orders in Juehu County, so these six Juehu counties became the private property of His Majesty the Emperor.All income has no relationship with the Ministry of Households.

The entry of the six counties will be filled into His Majesty's private treasury.

The Ministry of Officials is also greedy. There are as many officials as there are official positions in the six counties.According to the secret statistics of the Ministry of Officials, even with the arrival of poor students from the previous class, the shortage of officials needed by the six counties is still a huge number.Su Xingyu now completely treats one of his officials as three, so the Ministry of Officials feels that it is reasonable for them to make this request now.

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials opened his mouth, Su Xingyu refused without hesitation, bluntly saying that the Qianding Division has no shortage of people now!

Are you a liar?

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was so angry that his beard turned up, but Su Xingyu just didn't agree, and there was no shortage of people.Those old fellows in the official department can have as much heart as ten. Now that they open the door to let people in, Su Xingyu can expect a lot of bastards who are slowing down, so he would rather offend the minister of the official department to death than let go.

I didn't give it to people at the beginning, and now I don't want it if I ask for it, it's just so arrogant!

Si Jin didn't know about the quarrel in the court, but only knew that Xiao Qi came back from the court and drove everyone out. Taking advantage of his son's sleeping time, he hugged her for a long time without making a sound.

At that moment, the two had a good understanding of each other and their skills were full. Si Jin thought of Qian Dingsi's tax, and his eyes lit up instantly. After Xiao Qi said the tax amount, Si Jin frowned. satisfy.In the current time and space, comparing the Ming Dynasty with the Qing Dynasty, the annual tax revenue during the Wanli period was about 300 million taels, and more than 2000 million shi of grain.However, during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, the income of land Dingyin was more than 3000 million taels, and the salt tax tariff was more than 500 million taels, and there was no statistics on grain income. on business tax.

The Dayu dynasty was basically still in a time and space where the agricultural and mulberry tax was the mainstream, and the national taxation was all based on this, which shows that its benefits are thin.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, with business as the end, the world does not value the so-called business tax, and cannot see the huge business opportunities and tax revenue hidden here.

Si Jin didn't want to have a direct confrontation with the powerful family. After all, the strength of the Su family was completely irresistible, so Si Jin could only start with other methods. Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Actually, I think There are other ways to raise more taxes.”

After listening to Si Jin's words, Xiao Qi looked at her, "What good idea do you have?"

"It's not a good idea. I feel that since both the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials have decided against Hu County's idea, they can't be taken advantage of in vain." Si Jin said with a smile. She doesn't know much about the specific tax situation in this time and space, and she can't speak casually. Suggestions, but she in Juehu County can still give some advice.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin and raised his eyebrows. This was because she was upset by the fact that the Household Department and the Juehu County were competing for profit in the upper court. This was to... vent her anger for herself?It was agreed at the beginning that these Juehu counties belonged to the emperor's private treasury, and now they are planning to use these places. It can be seen that these people are really... This kind of feeling that their wives see injustices and just raise a knife. Why is it so swollen? Cool?
Blinking his eyes, Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, "Tell me."

Si Jin didn't know what Xiao Qi was thinking, she just felt that these people were bullying too much, bullying her father to fight alone, right?There are few people here to bully Xiao Qi, right?She is really a narrow-minded woman who loves to hold grudges!

"This is what I think. You can see that Juehu County still lacks a lot of things, and it is bound to be transported in from outside the county. Farm cattle, farm tools, seeds, fruits and vegetables, cloth, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. are all necessary for daily life. These things are in short supply in Juehu County."

"Your father is trying to find a way to do this. After all, as more and more people move into the household, the demand will increase. This is indeed a big deal." It is a matter of people's livelihood, even if it is a trivial matter , But adding up one by one, it is enough to become a big event.

"So, this is a good opportunity to make money." Si Jin's eyes lit up.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin for a while, and then he understood it all at once, and his eyes lit up immediately.Yes, Juehu County needs too many things, but now Juehu County is under its own jurisdiction, and all foreign merchants are not allowed to enter Juehu County without permission.If there are private sales operators, they will be dealt with according to the law once they are caught.This is to prevent too many people from flooding into Juehu County, and Su Xingyu tried his best to forcibly set the rules.

In fact, it is more to guard against the dark hands of these aristocratic families and have to implement compulsory control.

But now, under this rule, not only idlers cannot enter and exit Juehu County at will, but even merchants and hawkers cannot enter and exit at will.They can only sit back and watch as Baoshan is not allowed to enter, and people in Baoshan are not allowed to go out without government orders. Huge demand means huge business opportunities.

All of this is under Xiao Qi's control.Who is allowed to enter Juehu County to do business, what to sell, and what the prices are. Such a huge market is a place of interest that no one can refuse.And who can enter here, how much tax to pay, all depends on the mood of His Majesty the Emperor.

Xiao Qi is extremely smart, Si Jin didn't say much, just lightly tapped, and he immediately understood.Not only did they understand, they also drew inferences from one instance, not only strengthened the commercial tax to limit the number of merchants entering, but also classified them according to the region, and there were also taxes. The longest occupancy period for all merchants entering Juehu County was only one year.After one year, you must go to the local government office to reapply the paperwork, otherwise you will be forcibly expelled.

All the goods and merchants imported into Juehu County are divided into categories according to the types they need, and the rules gradually become one. In a short period of time, Si Jin looked at the rules formulated by Xiao Qi, and fell silent instantly.
