Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 303 Jin Yiwei Comes Out for a Walk

With the continuous victories in northern Xinjiang, the officials of Ming Dynasty have been very confident in the past few years, so Liaodong's use of troops against Wuhalian did not cause much disturbance.Zhu Houzhao did not care about this in Liaodong. He has been busy building woolen mills and collecting taxes these days. The first thing the tax department has to do when collecting taxes is to clear the land and then check the business tax.

Gentlemen and generals do not pay taxes. This does not exist. All land has to be re-registered, and commercial taxes must also be paid.

The business tax in Ming Dynasty is one of thirty taxes, and Zhu Houzhao didn't think about changing it, because low business tax can promote the development of business. In addition, Zhu Houzhao didn't complicate the business tax, such as tax collection, etc. The cost of logistics in this era is too high and complicated, and it will become very troublesome. Now as long as it can be collected according to the current tax system, it will be very good.

"Tax Department!" Zhu Houzhao stood in his hotel, with a hesitant expression on his face, and finally said helplessly: "It's still too weak."

The Taxation Department is a new government office. If it is spread across the country, it will not be strong enough. After all, the local gentry will definitely not want to see the Taxation Department.After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao said, "It's time to take some other people out for a walk."

"Liu Jin!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, gave a careless order, and then said, "What is this Jinyiwei yamen in Guangning?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, there is a Jinyiwei's Qianhu Office in Guangning, and the Qianhu is called Zhao Fan." Liu Jin said quickly.

Nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao ordered, "Go and find this Zhao Fan for me."

Since the private salt case in Yangzhou, Jin Yiwei has been very low-key, basically not showing his face. Since Mu Bin, the commander, has been very stable in the past few years since he took the blame.Now it's time to pull Jin Yiwei out for a walk.Since the Taxation Department lacks the guarantee of force, then Jin Yiwei will be assigned to the Taxation Department, just in time for them to help.

Jin Yiwei collected taxes, Zhu Houzhao felt that the name alone was scary enough, and it didn't matter that Jin Yiwei didn't work hard.

After all, Jin Yiwei has been in the local area for many years, and it is expected that the local Jin Yiwei will have connections with local gentry and officials.But Zhu Houzhao didn't care, the people in the tax department were only relying on Jin Yiwei's influence. If they didn't cooperate, they would be impeached by a memorial. Anyway, the royal family didn't need to discuss with anyone about Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are looked down upon. Although they have something to do with what they do, the most fundamental thing is that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are the emperor's domestic slaves.

Scholars think highly of themselves. Although sharing the world with scholar-bureaucrats is a gift, that's what scholars think. Jinyi Weidongchang and others are just servants of the royal family, and they look down on them psychologically.In other words, they didn't think highly of anyone, we read the titles of the sage books, what are you?
Jinyiwei has its own intelligence system, and it is rooted in the local area, so it knows the local situation very well. If they cooperate with the tax department, it will naturally be of little help.

For officials of Ming Dynasty, Liaodong was the land of Hu Han, a place where no one wanted to stay, and Jinyiwei was naturally the same. Few people wanted to be a Jinyiwei in Liaodong. There was little oil and water, and life was still hard. No one wanted to stay here.Zhao Fan was naturally one of them, so when he heard that His Royal Highness the Prince had summoned him, he immediately came.

Zhao Fan's idea is very simple, no matter what His Royal Highness asks him to do, he must do it well and do it beautifully, and strive to be transferred from the poor place of Liaodong.

Soon Zhao Fan came in from the outside, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he quickly lay down on the ground and said loudly: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Fan quietly, put down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Houzhao said: "Get up!" When Zhao Fan stood up, Zhu Houzhao looked Zhao Fan up and down. The man with a red complexion was obviously blown by the wind in Liaodong.His appearance is ordinary, with calluses on his hands, it seems that his martial arts skills are not in vain.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhu Houzhao said, "I have never had time to see you since I came to Liaodong, but I know a little about the affairs of Liaodong."

"You did a good job in Liaodong. There were no mistakes, and the errands were handled properly. This time, I have an errand for you to handle. If you do it well, I will reward you. It is not a big deal to transfer you from Liaodong." , so do your errands well, and don't let Ben Gong down."

As soon as Zhao Fan heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I will do my best to live up to the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Okay, let's get up and answer!"

What Zhu Houzhao said was not to fool Zhao Fan, but the truth. Once Zhao Fan did well in Liaodong, he would naturally be transferred away to collect taxes in more critical places.It is impossible for Zhao Fan to enjoy the blessings he wants. The experience gained by Liaodong must be passed on.When Zhao Fan stood up, Zhu Houzhao said, "You know about the tax department, right?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, I know." Zhao Fan was taken aback, what does His Royal Highness have to do with himself and the tax department?Jinyiwei and civil servants can't pee in the same pot.However, Zhao Fan still didn't dare to be negligent, and stood aside respectfully, waiting for His Royal Highness to continue the culture.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The tax department collects taxes, but there are not enough manpower. You can cooperate with Jinyiwei. Pay attention, it is cooperation. For everything that involves taxation, you should listen to the tax department. Do you understand?"

This is also intentional. Zhu Houzhao wants to ensure that the tax department has the power to command the Jinyiwei, but he does not want the tax department to override the Jinyiwei.The scale must be carefully grasped here, the Tax Department is just a tax office, and cannot be turned into a government office like Jin Yiwei.Of course, Jin Yiwei is not a yamen that recognizes people.

Zhao Fan was a little surprised and asked himself to help the tax department?Why is this so strange?But Zhao Fan still hurriedly said: "I obey."

Locally, the garrison and the civil servants were deeply involved. Apart from Jin Yiwei, Zhu Houzhao really couldn't think of a suitable yamen.The guarding eunuchs in various places are fine, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to involve the eunuchs. It is better to stay away from the eunuchs in the matter of taxation.Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Now that you know it, let's do it!"

Looking at the back of Zhao Fan leaving, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that his thinking was right and that he could really achieve the effect he wanted, otherwise he would have to find another way.
