Chapter 433 Touching Jiangnan
Chapter 433 Touching Jiangnan
Returning to the glorious Forbidden City with golden walls, changing clothes, and becoming an emperor who dominates the world again.
Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.
Upon receiving the emperor's summons, Li Ruolian immediately went straight to the Forbidden City without delay.
"Your servant Li Ruolian kowtows to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Li Ruolian entered the East Nuan Pavilion, saw the emperor, and immediately knelt down to salute.
"Get up." Yang Reform said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Li Ruolian stood up, lowered her head, and waited for the emperor's inquiry.
Looking at this Li Ruolian, Yang Reform must have had a rough day, his face was rosy, and he seemed to be fatter than before, he smiled and said, "Li Ruolian! He has gained weight recently!"
Li Ruolian quickly lowered her head even lower, knelt down in fear, and said: "I am guilty, guilty..."
Looking at Yang Reform who was already frightened like this, he said with a smile: "You are a Wu Jinshi, don't be like those rotten scholars who regard learning as a stepping stone, knock on the door, and forget about learning, so you should exercise every day. It's time to fight, so don't hold back." Yang Reform said with a smile, recently, there has been some chaos in the bank, and Li Ruolian has to be beaten.
"Your Majesty took the decree, I understand that...the minister is guilty, I should not have lent money to Master Li, Master Cao and the others, please forgive me..." Li Ruolian's face was already covered with sweat.
"The rules of your bank, you have to set up for yourself, who can borrow and who can't, who borrows money is risky, who borrows money has no ability to repay, who borrows money is in line with my wishes, and whoever borrows money will ruin me You don’t need me to teach you about these things, do you? I told you to open a bank for profit, to make money, leave no one in charge of you, you just relax yourself, and when others say good things or flatter you, you will follow the principles and rules. Putting this behind you, I hope you will keep this in mind, if you need me to guard you like this every day, I don’t have that much thought.” Yang Reform said with a half smile and half anger, recently, the bank has been a bit chaotic, some The rich and powerful are close to Li Ruolian, borrowing money from the bank to "speculate" stocks, not following a formal path, borrowing money without collateral, and borrowing money with no expectation of repayment, just relying on one face, one sentence, and the amount is particularly large, This made Yang Reform very unhappy. If he didn’t follow the normal path, he would have big problems sooner or later; he even borrowed money in the name of the yamen, saying that the yamen couldn’t make it through. This is a big problem. Some people use their own bank as the treasury of the account department. This is not a good sign.
Li Ruolian had already knelt on the ground again, kept kowtowing, did not dare to raise his head, and said in his mouth that "the minister is guilty". The nodding is in vain.
Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian, who kowtowed on the ground and shouted "guilty", but remained silent.It wasn't until Li Ruolian shouted hoarsely that Yang Reform took a deep breath and said, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Li Ruolian got up when he heard the emperor's words, as if he had been granted an amnesty, his face was already as pale as a pig's liver, sweat rolled down his face, and he was terrified.
"The rules of the bank, after you go back, set it up again, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, you have to control yourself, always reflect, remember, some things are not a stepping stone, you can throw them away after knocking on the door, some things, such as people You can't lose your true colors, otherwise, you won't be this person." Yang Reform beat him again.
"I obey the order!" Li Ruolian said with lingering fear.
"By the way, I called you here today, mainly because there is one thing for you to do." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yang Reform turned to talk about business.
"I would like to respect His Majesty's orders." Li Ruolian said.
"Liuli Zhai is going to open a stock exchange. In the future, there will be a nest of gold and silver. Your bank, if you want to follow up, it is best to enter the stock exchange, or be close to it to facilitate stock transactions. Now the stock market Transactions are no longer cash, but bank notes, and your bank is close to you, so you can do business, and you have to follow the money to make money." Yang Reform said.
"The minister leads the decree." Li Ruolian didn't dare to make any distinctions, but only agreed.
"The stock exchange has just started. Your bank needs to support the stock exchange a lot. With the help of the stock exchange, it is okay to post some money temporarily. I don't need to teach you these things. After you go back , think about it carefully." Yang Reform asked again.
"The minister leads the decree!" Li Ruolian's face was full of pig liver, and the emperor was terrified. Hearing that the emperor was still taught by Chunchun, he felt a little more at ease, and then became afraid. How much money is in the bank?He has more money than the Minister of the Household Department. Although his position is not high, it is definitely important. I don’t know how many people are thinking about this position. If there is a slight mistake and the emperor is unhappy, his position will be gone. I don't know how many people want to climb up to this position. Although the money he lent out without authorization did not cause any losses to the bank, it violated the emperor's rules.
……
In the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, countless literati and poets praised him with poems and recorded him with pen and ink. It is a rare paradise in the world.
Nanjing, the center of the Ming Dynasty in the south, is located in the south of the Yangtze River.
Nanjing tax supervisor has now become a lively place.
Previously, this place, this yamen, was a joke, the object of ridicule by the whole Jiangnan. Who would go to the tax bureau to pay taxes by themselves when they are full?There are only a handful of people who go to pay taxes, and they are just a few properties of the emperor. But now, the emperor's [-]% subsidy is clearly decreed, and the mansion reported that an invoice issued by the tax supervisor is required to receive the money , So, in an instant, this place became an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless merchants from the shipyard began to visit.
Nowadays, although it is said that [-]% of the subsidy is given to help transport the victims, this is obviously relaxed. No one cares what will happen to you in the future, whether you transport the victims, so, in disguise, all the ships are built. Give the subsidy, and all of a sudden, people who think they have found a loophole flock to it, hoping to register with the tax supervisor and issue an invoice, and then someone will come to build the ship, otherwise, the [-]% subsidy, who to post?
Today's tax supervisor is under the management of Mr. Xi. Mr. Xi was originally in charge of minting coins at the Baoyuan Bureau. The money in his hands is in the millions. In the south of the Yangtze River, it also belongs to the powerful eunuch. Therefore, in In front of his yamen, no one dares to be presumptuous. The one who can manage Mr. Xi is Da Nei, who is far away in Beijing. Therefore, although many people have a lot of opinions on Mr. Xi's practice of not giving them registration and not giving invoices , but there is no way.
"Eunuch, there are many people coming to see you again, and they all want to come to our tax supervisor to register and ask for invoices." The little eunuch waited on Xi Gonggong to enter the house to rest, and said while serving.
Eunuch Xi didn't speak, but flipped through the stack of greeting cards, flipped through them casually for a while, and finished reading.
"No, just say that the Sajia is tired. Let's talk about their affairs when the Sajia is free. If you don't let them hang out for a few days, they don't take our tax supervisor seriously. They always laughed at our tax supervisor before. Come on, this time, the Sa family wants to let them know how powerful the tax inspector is." Eunuch Xi refused without hesitation, and none of these invitations are for Eunuch Xi, they are all people who are crazy about money , do not look at the situation and morals.Just refuse to meet with these people. Eunuch Xi has several jobs now, and the emperor asked him to take care of the tax supervisor, so he also goes to the tax supervisor every day. Originally, he only needs to come once or twice a month. Now , but the tax supervisor is regarded as a fixed residence, and the Baoyuan Bureau is gradually letting go.
"Little one takes orders, I'll go back to them now." The little eunuch said immediately.
The little eunuch went out, and Eunuch Xi sat down and thought about this problem. After receiving the letter from the emperor, he began to pay attention to the tax supervisor. Later, Zheng Huaizhong came to him again and discussed with him about the tax supervisor and invoices. Regarding the subsidy of [-]% of the silver, Zheng Huaizhong wanted Eunuch Xi to issue invoices later so that he could receive more business, and when he was almost done, he would register and issue invoices for those people.
Eunuch Xi didn't think much about it, but he agreed. When he first came to Nanjing and couldn't find silver coins, Zheng Huaizhong helped him a lot. Besides, they were all around the emperor, so he helped as much as he could. Besides, the emperor He also mentioned in the letter that it is not necessary to register all cats and dogs, but to choose some reputable and reliable businesses so that it will be easier to collect taxes in the future. Therefore, Eunuch Xi simply put aside those who wanted to register.
A group of people who want to register and receive invoices have to go out of the tax prison.
At the door, a person who came to register said: "Now a strange thing has happened. Give money to others, and they still don't take it back. Hey... What kind of world is this..." After finishing speaking, the person who came to register got on the sedan chair and walked away. up.
The others all looked sideways, all with downcast faces, got into their own sedan chairs, and left. Now that this strange event happened to him, he gave the money to someone else, but others decided not to accept it. This matter will be left to the past , who would believe it?One by one sighed bad luck.
The Jiangnan Shipyard is also very lively now, and there are suddenly many more people who come to build ships.Many people who originally built ships in other places, after hearing that the emperor subsidized [-]% of the ship, immediately changed their doors.
Zheng Huaizhong was also happy that someone built a ship with him. The emperor told him that it is a good thing to accommodate more people to work. If the disaster continues, if the people can find a place to work and find food, it will be good governance and great virtue. , Zheng Huaizhong's shipyard has expanded again and again, recruiting more and more craftsmen and personnel, and has never been picky about business, ranging from warships to Western warships, to a large number of fishing boats, and even Now merchant ships, as long as they have money, he will not refuse anyone. This time, he asked Mr. Xi to help him and let him postpone the registration for others so that he can attract more shipbuilding business. Zheng Huaizhong only hoped that, It is enough to accommodate more people to work in his shipyard and to share a little more worry for the emperor.
A group of sedan chairs coming out of the tax bureau stopped again in front of the gate of Nanjing Shipyard. Looking at the bustling traffic outside the gate of the shipyard, it was a busy scene, and all of them had unlucky faces. Many of the people who entered and left the shipyard were them. The regular customers there are gone, but now, all of them have gone to Nanjing Shipyard, a government-run place to build ships.
In addition to bad luck, it can only be bad luck. Who told the emperor's conditions to be so strange? If you don't have an invoice, you can't get a shipbuilding business.
……
On the Qinhuai River, on a charming boat.
A group of luxuriously dressed people sat around a table, enjoying the smell of rouge on the Qinhuai River.
Three rounds of wine.
"Everyone, now the Holy Majesty has issued a decree to subsidize merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. The [-]% silver subsidy has caused quite a storm in Jinling City! What do you think?" Sitting on the first seat The old man in Chinese clothes waved back the singing and dancing, and put the business on the table. At this time, on the Qinhuai River, it was the time when the boats were flying, the sound of oars and the shadows of lights, and the bustling golden powder.
"Brother Wang, this matter is a good thing. Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. He does not want the people of the world to suffer. Therefore, he is willing to give the [-]% of the silver to help the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to build ships to help transport the victims. I miss the Chen family. Our ancestors have taught us that in times of famine, we need to do it spontaneously to help the orphans. Now His Majesty even gives [-]% of the subsidy to help the orphans. In this way, my Chen family does not have much business in sea and water. Guan Ge is also planning to build a few ships..." The person who called himself the Chen family expressed his attitude first.
"The Chen family is worthy of being a family of the most benevolent! The Chen family's benevolent deeds are also well-known in this city of Nanjing. I admire, admire!" The old man called Brother Wang said with a smile.
"Huh, what's contemptible is that the eunuch doesn't register, doesn't issue a license, doesn't issue an invoice, and doesn't have an invoice. How can he get the [-]% of the silver? This business is all done by the eunuch himself. This is obvious. It's just for the benefit of the public, Jingzhong managed to get the [-]% of the silver through Mr. Wang, but the gang of eunuchs snatched it away..." A young son shouted.
"Brother Yang, listen to the old man, there is no need to slander those courtiers like this, those courtiers, now, are just pretending to exaggerate their status, so that they can set rules for others in the future, how did we laugh at taxes in the city of Nanjing before?" It’s not like you don’t know? Now that the tax supervisor is in power and has become a sweet potato, it’s natural to take care of your worth. Don’t worry, the ministers will register, issue licenses, and issue invoices for us in a short time. Now you can be regarded as a member of the half imperial party, don't worry, those ministers will not embarrass us..." The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile.
"The boy's words were too aggressive, thank you for the lesson, my lord." The young man surnamed Yang dared to admit his mistake.
There was another burst of wine.
The old man surnamed Wang said again: "Now, the old man urges you all to build ships if you have some money at home. In the future, the business at sea will be limitless!" The old man surnamed Wang suddenly brought up a topic.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Someone immediately asked with interest.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the southeast coast is about to calm down. Once the sea calms down, I don't need to say whether the business will be successful or not?" the old man surnamed Wang said mysteriously.
"Brother Wang, what do you say? The sea is not so peaceful now! Let alone the barbarians, the pirates have all landed, and they can attack cities and lands. Is this still called peace? How is this business going?" Do you do it? Could it be that Brother Wang has some knowledge?" A person who was sitting asked immediately.
The old man surnamed Wang stroked his beard, and deliberately showed off: "You only see that the current situation is not peaceful, but you know that the sea will be peaceful soon?"
"Brother Wang, I beg you to enlighten me!" Everyone immediately clasped their hands together and asked to see what the inside story this person had to say. The sea is not peaceful now. Pirates, big and small, and barbarians have settled one end, and the other end has turned up again. , It is really a life to make money but not a life to enjoy.
"Hey, everyone, do you know what the warships built by Nanjing Shipyard are for?" the old man surnamed Wang asked mysteriously.
"Isn't that sealing the ship? Isn't it also to guard against Japanese pirates?" Someone said immediately.
"Yes, this is one of them. Now, in order to prevent the Japanese from invading our sea again, Your Majesty has built many warships to deal with the Japanese. Do you know that now, the pirates on this sea are about to be wiped out? "The old man said mysteriously.
Everyone gathered together again, this is great news, the current sea is so bad, you have to pay two and a half shares, one to the pirates, one to the barbarians, and half to be bought The government, otherwise, it is absolutely forbidden to go to the sea, but it is not safe. The barbarians are not one. If you hand over this group of barbarians, there is another group. If you are going to Nanyang, you have to prepare and hand in a few more copies. Prepare, the pirate's share depends on the situation. If you hand it over to this group of pirates, you have to pay it to that group. If you lose that one, you are unlucky, and you will lose both people and goods. Only the half of the government's share is not needed. Repeated handovers, this is the current situation in the sea. Families and merchants who have something to do with the sea are all headaches. In the sea, no one can persuade anyone. There is no place to buy peace with money. Naturally, I hope that the sea can be peaceful as soon as possible.
"Brother Wang, although His Majesty is building warships, it doesn't mean that the sea will be peaceful. It's not uncommon for everyone to know the power of the government on the water. Even if they build warships, they may not be the opponents of barbarians and pirates. If you want to The sea is peaceful, and I don’t know when we will go there!” Although the man who claimed to be the Chen family had nothing to do with the sea affairs, he often heard about the sea affairs, so he didn’t think that the pirates and barbarians could quickly When it was calmed down, several other people on the table nodded when they heard it. How long did it take for the Japanese pirates to endanger the southeast?Even with Qi Shuai, a rare talent like Qi Shuai, it took many years to put down the Japanese troubles, pointing to those warships still in the shipyard to put down the sea troubles, everyone couldn't believe it.
"...Now His Majesty is recruiting the pirate Zheng Zhilong, have you heard of it?" The old man surnamed Wang didn't care, and said mysteriously.
One of them said: "Brother Wang, are you talking about Zheng Zhilong? This is a ruthless character. Wasn't he the one who went ashore last year? Siege the city and loot the land, defeating the officers and soldiers."
"It's him. Now, he's in the capital. Everyone knows that His Majesty attaches great importance to him. Is he going above the standard to appease him?" the old man surnamed Wang said mysteriously.
Many people know this news. They know that Zheng Zhilong has entered Beijing to be recruited. It is said that he is quite valued by the emperor. It is not very new that the emperor recruited him beyond the standard.
The old man surnamed Wang continued: "Think about it, everyone. After the sage has recruited Zheng Zhilong, relying on Zheng Zhilong's power in the sea, there will be a large number of new warships. With His Majesty's strong support, won't it be easy to wipe out the other pirates on the sea? Yes. With the backing of the Holy Majesty, isn't it easy for Zheng Zhilong to deal with the barbarians? Leaving Nanyang alone, the East China Sea alone has a lot of business in the Wa country. Once the pirates in the East China Sea are wiped out, it will be enough for me to suffer..."
"My lord, do you mean that Zheng Zhilong will let me intervene in the business of the Wa Kingdom?" the young man surnamed Yang immediately woke up and asked, this is great news, and now most of the trade of the Wa Kingdom is occupied by Zheng Zhilong Go, without Zheng Zhilong's permission, other people are not allowed to do Japanese trade, but according to what the old man surnamed Wang said, they may be able to do Japanese trade in the future, which is definitely great news.
The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile: "It is said that Sun Houzi can't jump out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha, so how can Zheng Zhilong be able to jump out of the palm of the Holy One?" The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile, this is the latest news he got from the capital, Zheng Zhilong might be unreliable. He was being manipulated to death by the emperor. The emperor's methods were beyond their imagination, and the emperor's understanding of the sea affairs was far beyond their understanding. It was impossible to fool the emperor and deceive the emperor. They wanted to bring Zheng Zhilong out, but the result might be that Zheng Zhilong completely surrendered to the emperor, since he would have nothing to rely on at that time, it would be better to switch to the emperor now, and he would have someone to rely on in the future.
After listening to his speech, the image of a wise and mighty emperor appeared in everyone's mind. Everyone here also knew a little about the emperor's various means, not to mention the disaster relief, but the tax supervisor alone, let everyone Many people felt the emperor's means.
"Can you explain it in detail, my lord?" Young Master Yang asked immediately. If it is true what the old man said, there is no doubt that there is a lot to do in the sea, so the shipbuilding must be stepped up.
"Hehe, all of you have seen the means of the current sage, and the grandeur is very grand, so the old man will not say much. The current sage must intervene in the matter of the sea. With the means of the current sage, once he intervenes, everyone thinks Thinking, how can Zheng Zhilong be allowed to monopolize the business of the Japanese country? How can Zheng Zhilong be allowed to be big? How can the barbarians be allowed to collect money at sea? At that time, the affairs of the sea must be decided by the scriptures, and we will devote ourselves to it now. Now under the command of the Holy Majesty, how can we not benefit from it in the future?" The old man surnamed Wang analyzed.
There was a commotion among several people. This news was indeed unexpected. Although the emperor was building warships and appeasing pirates, the emperor had never received any money at sea for many years. The sea trade did not hand over money to the emperor. It has been an old tradition for many years. Many people don't think that the emperor can deal with many ministers in the court and receive money at sea. Now, from the old man surnamed Wang, it seems that the emperor will rule the sea. Note to the emperor's side, it is naturally worth a try.
"Brother Wang, are you serious?" The person who called himself the Chen family asked anxiously.
"This word only came out of my mouth and into the ears of a few people. Don't let this word spread out. Now the Holy Majesty's sage is not something you and I can guess. The sea matter is better than ours. Naturally, he knows the maritime trade. How much profit is there, so naturally I won't let the money go unearned, otherwise, I won't recruit Zheng Zhilong with such a high standard. Let's see, it won't be long before I can see the result. When doing things as a scripture, the means are always grand, Therefore, as soon as you make a move, the sea will calm down quickly. At that time, as half of the imperial party like me, if you want to do maritime trade, you must get the protection of the Holy One. If you want to do business in the Japanese country, it is naturally possible. Zheng Zhilong dominates the business of the Japanese kingdom, and you have seen a leading general who can be as rich as an enemy?..." The old man surnamed Wang lowered his voice and said.
After finishing speaking, the old man surnamed Wang muttered again: "However, if you join the sage, you will have to pay taxes to the sage in the future. In this regard, the sage will not allow anyone to make trouble, so there is also the issue of the invoice, everyone, I, Wang, would like to remind everyone in advance that the Holy Majesty is so generous now because he has taken a fancy to this tax, and His Majesty has a long-term plan, do you understand?"
"As long as we can get peace at sea, as long as we can earn money, we should pay taxes when we pay taxes. Don't we have to give money to the barbarians and pirates to buy peace now? Now that we have paid the money, we may not be able to get peace. If the Holy Majesty To unify the whole world, to be able to settle in peace, I also recognize this money..." At the table, a person compares and compares, thinking that paying a few shares of money may not necessarily save his life, it is better to support the emperor to collect taxes, at least his life It won't be gone. As for the other things, who cares about them?Some people have meat to eat and money to take, clamoring not to let the emperor collect taxes, but who cares about their lives?
The old man surnamed Wang was one of the group of people who turned to the emperor after seeing no more hope in the matter at sea. Their last hope, after Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the emperor with high standards, they knew that something was wrong. I am afraid that my calculations will come to nothing. The emperor, who knows everything about sea affairs, will naturally intervene in sea affairs. Then their plan to hold up a pirate to protect them from the wind and rain will completely fail. It is better to take the initiative in advance than to be passive afterwards. If you take the initiative to seek refuge with the emperor, although you have to pay money to the emperor, as long as there is peace, and relying on the status of being the first to join the emperor, you can take advantage of maritime trade, which is quite beneficial.
The people at the table started to discuss one after another. This is indeed amazing news. According to what this brother Wang said, the sea will not be calm for long. So, the shipbuilding is just right now, and the shipbuilding cannot be done in a day or two. It takes half a year at least to a year at most, and it may take longer if preparation materials are added.If the emperor manages Zheng Zhilong, then Zheng Zhilong will no longer monopolize the business of the Wa Kingdom, and it is naturally feasible to intervene in the business of the Wa Kingdom with their status as half of the imperial party. This alone is enough to make a lot of money As for the money, as for the emperor to collect taxes, they believe that the emperor will naturally not let the people of his own imperial party suffer.
"Thank you, sir, for your guidance, the boy has been taught!" The young man surnamed Yang finally understood what he was doing, and immediately thanked the old man surnamed Wang excitedly.
"Brother Yang, there's no need for that. Remember, we are all members of the imperial party and the Holy One. It is enough to follow the Holy One." The old man said with a smile.
"Boy, thank you, my lord, for your advice. I'll go to the tax supervisor tomorrow. Uncles, seniors, please take care of my business. The boatyard at my house can only be enjoyed by my uncles." The young son immediately smiled and handed over to the few people present. After being pointed out by the old man surnamed Wang, the son surnamed Yang has already understood a lot of things. I believe that if he goes to the tax supervisor again, he should be able to register and get the invoice.
The people at the table cupped their hands one after another to express their care.
……
The next day.
This young man surnamed Yang went straight to the tax supervisor in a sedan chair. Yesterday, he got advice from an old man surnamed Wang. He already knew the way. I believe he will be able to register this time, and he will get the invoice. With the invoice, he can open the door to do business. up.
Watching the servants go to chat with Menzi, and put a piece of silver in the past, Young Master Yang felt that it was done.
Eunuch Xi often rests at the tax supervisor's side now.He naturally took the emperor's instructions to heart. Why did he sit in such a high position at such a young age and manage so much money? It was because of his loyalty to the emperor and his dedication to the things the emperor gave him.
"Eunuch, a person came outside the door asking for an invoice and wanted to register. This is his greeting card." A young eunuch took the greeting card and reported it to Eunuch Xi.
"Oh, take it to the family to have a look." Eunuch Xi took the greeting card, opened it, looked at it, looked at it for a while, and moved his eyebrows a few times. This greeting card is quite interesting, and it is completely different from the previous greeting cards. The invitation post is not to build relationships, nor is it to say good things, and it is not to imply how much money to give him. Class words.
Mr. Xi read this post and thought it was interesting. After such a long time, I finally met a sensible person. I met a sensible person. Those people in the past were crazy about money, thinking that cats and dogs can register and get money. When I got the invoice, I didn't think about why His Majesty subsidized them with [-]% of the ship's money, and the emperor didn't owe them any.
"Interesting, little Li, go and invite this person in, the Sa family wants to talk to him." Eunuch Xi said with great interest.
"My little one obeys, I'll invite you now." The little eunuch immediately agreed and went out with a smile.
……
Looking at the smiling little father-in-law who came out of the tax office, the young man surnamed Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this time he really didn't come in vain. He didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing. Who knew there was such a famous figure?If you don't understand the tricks, how can you play in your arms?How can I get an invoice?How do you do business without an invoice?
"My father-in-law, what's the matter?" Young Master Yang immediately asked with a smile.
"Mr. Yang! Thanks to the Sa family for telling you about Xiang, father-in-law has promised to see you, come with the Sa family." The little eunuch smiled and said to the son surnamed Yang.
"Then there will be Mr. Lao!" Mr. Yang heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, he has a family. It was impossible to meet Mr. Xi before.
……
"I'm Yang Wenmin, I've met my father-in-law." The elder brother surnamed Yang bowed his hands and saluted, and said loudly that he had seen his father-in-law.
"Well, yes, young and promising, sit down!" Eunuch Xi sat on the upper seat, motioning for Young Master Yang to sit down.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Only then did the son surnamed Yang sit down generously.
"Are you from the Yang family in Jinling?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"If you go back to my father-in-law, I'm right. My surname is Yang, my name is Wenmin, and my character is Haobai." Said the elder brother Yang.
"Oh, who are you from Zhejiang left to participate in politics?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, it's my distant uncle." Mr. Yang said.
Eunuch Xi already understood the origin of this person, a small family that is not too big, in Jinling, the Yang family is nothing, just a relative of an official far away, that's all.
However, Eunuch Xi doesn't care whether his family is small or not. If the family is too big, it will be difficult to control. If the family is too big, it may not follow his rules. This small family is just right, it is easier to control, and I don't have any capital to compete with myself, and I'm not afraid of his secret mischief, and I can even use him as a model for support.
"Your Majesty is merciful and considerate for the victims. Now, a decree has been issued to give Jiangnan merchants a [-]% subsidy and encourage merchants to build ships to help transport the victims. Do you know why they can't pass the Sajia level and get invoices?" Eunuch Xi is quite satisfied with this person.
Young Master Yang was overjoyed. Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, could it be that he has agreed to register himself, issue a license, and issue an invoice?Immediately he replied excitedly: "Go back to Eunuch, I understand, I must follow the requirements of the tax supervisor, the tax supervisor said one thing, I and the Yang family will never say anything, I will never cause trouble for my father-in-law, and I will never deceive you. Pay taxes in a regular manner, and never let the Holy One down, and never let the father-in-law down." Yang Wenmin got a suggestion from the old man surnamed Wang yesterday, and he already understood the key points. The emperor is generous now, just thinking about collecting taxes in the future, so Naturally, I don't want to see the tax supervisor hand out the money, but not pay the tax supervisor. Therefore, I put voluntary and regular tax payment in the first place. After registering and getting the invoice, according to the current momentum, his family's business will be very good immediately.
"That's right, that's right. Young people are indeed spiritual. Very good. Let me ask you, how do you know this?" Eunuch Xi is quite satisfied with this Yang Wenmin, who is very sensible. The emperor's plan is to collect taxes for a long time, so, now Registration and release of invoices are naturally prudent. It is impossible to register for those who steal, cheat and cheat, and randomly release invoices. Is it really a fool to be an emperor?Give those people money for entertainment?Therefore, merchants who choose to release invoices will naturally be cautious, instead of registering for everyone when they come up, and posting invoices, will it be a mess?God knows what these people will do when they get the invoice?Isn't the emperor's money in vain?
"If you go back to Eunuch, I will also be instructed by someone below, so I understand, Eunuch, I am also a person of the Holy One!" Young Master Yang said at the end, his voice was quite low, as if he didn't say anything.
Eunuch Xi nodded. This young man is really sensible. It seems that someone really mentioned him, otherwise he would not be able to say that he is one of his own, let alone understand the trick.
"Very good! Your family's license, Sajia will issue it to you right away, and the invoice will be issued to you immediately. Of course, you must remember what you said, since you are one of your own, don't cheat or cheat. , You can pay as much tax as you need, as long as you can guarantee this, you will be your own person, and you will naturally be able to enjoy the family and be taken care of by Your Majesty." Eunuch Xi was also very straightforward, and immediately issued a license to the Yang family and issued invoices.
"Thank you father-in-law, I and the Yang family will abide by the agreement, pay taxes honestly, and live up to the expectations of the sage and father-in-law." Young master Yang was overjoyed, it's that simple?It's hard to believe that I didn't give this Duke Xi money, let alone give him any benefits, just promised to pay taxes according to the rules, and mentioned that I was a member of the imperial party, and that's all right?
"Okay, no need to thank Sa's family, just remember your words... By the way, how much business can your shipyard handle?... Remember, as much business as you have done, just fill in the invoice, don't hide it Report, don’t over-report, let alone under-report, otherwise, once the incident occurs, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will not be able to bear the thunder.” Eunuch Xi told the young man who was the first to get the invoice, By the way, how big is his family’s business? The bigger the business, the more invoices they will give. When registering, operating capital is a very important item.
Brother Yang surnamed was a little embarrassed, this Eunuch Xi was in Jinling City, and he had tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands, and he really couldn't afford the little property of his own family.
"Back to my father-in-law, at the shipyard next home, I can only accept business of 3 to 5 taels each time, and [-] to [-] taels is the limit. If there are too many, I will not be able to turn around." The young man surnamed Yang said embarrassingly.
Eunuch Xi was stunned for a moment. The business of this family is indeed a small business, and only two or three thousand taels of silver can be traded. However, it is good that the scale is small so that it can be controlled. With the invoice from the tax supervisor, you don’t have to worry about his family’s lack of business. , Waiting to support his family, it will be easier to control, and it is far easier to deal with than those shipyards that have already scaled up.
"The business of 3 to 3 taels is indeed less. Once the invoice is issued to you, your business will immediately improve. What can you do with [-] to [-] taels?" Xi Gonggong said calmly.
"Back to Eunuch, if my Yang family squeezes in from other places, I can still move some money over..." At this point, the face of the young master surnamed Yang was already flushed, tens of thousands of taels of silver, in front of this Eunuch Xi, is really worth it. If you don't sell it, what others handle is at the level of tens of millions of taels of silver.
"Well, I see that you are also a sensible person. The Sajia has some friendship with the bank. You go to the bank and mention the name of the Sajia. They will give you the loan. It's not much. 10 taels should be no problem. Of course, if you The family is willing to take more things as collateral, and they will put more. You take the money borrowed from the bank, and the invoices issued by Sajia, and start a business. Your Majesty is disappointed..." Eunuch Xi didn't mind mentioning the Yang family, now that he wants to open up the tax collection situation for His Majesty in the south of the Yangtze River, it is natural to have a model, role model, and best friend. This Yang family is undoubtedly a good choice. The family is small and there is nothing to rely on, so the possibility of stealing and cheating is much smaller, which is easy to control.
Mr. Yang looked at the big eunuch in front of him in surprise. Aren't all the eunuchs love money?Why are you so easy to talk about now?Not only did he register and issue a license for himself, and he released an invoice, but he also interceded with himself and borrowed money from the bank. Now, with the money in the bank and the invoice, it is difficult for his family to not develop well, if it is far-fetched One point, it is not an exaggeration to say that he climbed up to the great eunuch in Jinling City.
"Father-in-law's great kindness, I can't repay it, please accept it next time." The son surnamed Yang made a ninety-degree bow, which was very grand.
Eunuch Xi accepted it calmly.
"Your big gift, the Sa family will accept it, just do what the Sa family said, as long as you and your Yang family don't forget what you said and the promise you made." Eunuch Xi said calmly.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness!" Young Master Yang thanked him again.
(End of this chapter)
Returning to the glorious Forbidden City with golden walls, changing clothes, and becoming an emperor who dominates the world again.
Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.
Upon receiving the emperor's summons, Li Ruolian immediately went straight to the Forbidden City without delay.
"Your servant Li Ruolian kowtows to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Li Ruolian entered the East Nuan Pavilion, saw the emperor, and immediately knelt down to salute.
"Get up." Yang Reform said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Li Ruolian stood up, lowered her head, and waited for the emperor's inquiry.
Looking at this Li Ruolian, Yang Reform must have had a rough day, his face was rosy, and he seemed to be fatter than before, he smiled and said, "Li Ruolian! He has gained weight recently!"
Li Ruolian quickly lowered her head even lower, knelt down in fear, and said: "I am guilty, guilty..."
Looking at Yang Reform who was already frightened like this, he said with a smile: "You are a Wu Jinshi, don't be like those rotten scholars who regard learning as a stepping stone, knock on the door, and forget about learning, so you should exercise every day. It's time to fight, so don't hold back." Yang Reform said with a smile, recently, there has been some chaos in the bank, and Li Ruolian has to be beaten.
"Your Majesty took the decree, I understand that...the minister is guilty, I should not have lent money to Master Li, Master Cao and the others, please forgive me..." Li Ruolian's face was already covered with sweat.
"The rules of your bank, you have to set up for yourself, who can borrow and who can't, who borrows money is risky, who borrows money has no ability to repay, who borrows money is in line with my wishes, and whoever borrows money will ruin me You don’t need me to teach you about these things, do you? I told you to open a bank for profit, to make money, leave no one in charge of you, you just relax yourself, and when others say good things or flatter you, you will follow the principles and rules. Putting this behind you, I hope you will keep this in mind, if you need me to guard you like this every day, I don’t have that much thought.” Yang Reform said with a half smile and half anger, recently, the bank has been a bit chaotic, some The rich and powerful are close to Li Ruolian, borrowing money from the bank to "speculate" stocks, not following a formal path, borrowing money without collateral, and borrowing money with no expectation of repayment, just relying on one face, one sentence, and the amount is particularly large, This made Yang Reform very unhappy. If he didn’t follow the normal path, he would have big problems sooner or later; he even borrowed money in the name of the yamen, saying that the yamen couldn’t make it through. This is a big problem. Some people use their own bank as the treasury of the account department. This is not a good sign.
Li Ruolian had already knelt on the ground again, kept kowtowing, did not dare to raise his head, and said in his mouth that "the minister is guilty". The nodding is in vain.
Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian, who kowtowed on the ground and shouted "guilty", but remained silent.It wasn't until Li Ruolian shouted hoarsely that Yang Reform took a deep breath and said, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Li Ruolian got up when he heard the emperor's words, as if he had been granted an amnesty, his face was already as pale as a pig's liver, sweat rolled down his face, and he was terrified.
"The rules of the bank, after you go back, set it up again, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, you have to control yourself, always reflect, remember, some things are not a stepping stone, you can throw them away after knocking on the door, some things, such as people You can't lose your true colors, otherwise, you won't be this person." Yang Reform beat him again.
"I obey the order!" Li Ruolian said with lingering fear.
"By the way, I called you here today, mainly because there is one thing for you to do." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yang Reform turned to talk about business.
"I would like to respect His Majesty's orders." Li Ruolian said.
"Liuli Zhai is going to open a stock exchange. In the future, there will be a nest of gold and silver. Your bank, if you want to follow up, it is best to enter the stock exchange, or be close to it to facilitate stock transactions. Now the stock market Transactions are no longer cash, but bank notes, and your bank is close to you, so you can do business, and you have to follow the money to make money." Yang Reform said.
"The minister leads the decree." Li Ruolian didn't dare to make any distinctions, but only agreed.
"The stock exchange has just started. Your bank needs to support the stock exchange a lot. With the help of the stock exchange, it is okay to post some money temporarily. I don't need to teach you these things. After you go back , think about it carefully." Yang Reform asked again.
"The minister leads the decree!" Li Ruolian's face was full of pig liver, and the emperor was terrified. Hearing that the emperor was still taught by Chunchun, he felt a little more at ease, and then became afraid. How much money is in the bank?He has more money than the Minister of the Household Department. Although his position is not high, it is definitely important. I don’t know how many people are thinking about this position. If there is a slight mistake and the emperor is unhappy, his position will be gone. I don't know how many people want to climb up to this position. Although the money he lent out without authorization did not cause any losses to the bank, it violated the emperor's rules.
……
In the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, countless literati and poets praised him with poems and recorded him with pen and ink. It is a rare paradise in the world.
Nanjing, the center of the Ming Dynasty in the south, is located in the south of the Yangtze River.
Nanjing tax supervisor has now become a lively place.
Previously, this place, this yamen, was a joke, the object of ridicule by the whole Jiangnan. Who would go to the tax bureau to pay taxes by themselves when they are full?There are only a handful of people who go to pay taxes, and they are just a few properties of the emperor. But now, the emperor's [-]% subsidy is clearly decreed, and the mansion reported that an invoice issued by the tax supervisor is required to receive the money , So, in an instant, this place became an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, and countless merchants from the shipyard began to visit.
Nowadays, although it is said that [-]% of the subsidy is given to help transport the victims, this is obviously relaxed. No one cares what will happen to you in the future, whether you transport the victims, so, in disguise, all the ships are built. Give the subsidy, and all of a sudden, people who think they have found a loophole flock to it, hoping to register with the tax supervisor and issue an invoice, and then someone will come to build the ship, otherwise, the [-]% subsidy, who to post?
Today's tax supervisor is under the management of Mr. Xi. Mr. Xi was originally in charge of minting coins at the Baoyuan Bureau. The money in his hands is in the millions. In the south of the Yangtze River, it also belongs to the powerful eunuch. Therefore, in In front of his yamen, no one dares to be presumptuous. The one who can manage Mr. Xi is Da Nei, who is far away in Beijing. Therefore, although many people have a lot of opinions on Mr. Xi's practice of not giving them registration and not giving invoices , but there is no way.
"Eunuch, there are many people coming to see you again, and they all want to come to our tax supervisor to register and ask for invoices." The little eunuch waited on Xi Gonggong to enter the house to rest, and said while serving.
Eunuch Xi didn't speak, but flipped through the stack of greeting cards, flipped through them casually for a while, and finished reading.
"No, just say that the Sajia is tired. Let's talk about their affairs when the Sajia is free. If you don't let them hang out for a few days, they don't take our tax supervisor seriously. They always laughed at our tax supervisor before. Come on, this time, the Sa family wants to let them know how powerful the tax inspector is." Eunuch Xi refused without hesitation, and none of these invitations are for Eunuch Xi, they are all people who are crazy about money , do not look at the situation and morals.Just refuse to meet with these people. Eunuch Xi has several jobs now, and the emperor asked him to take care of the tax supervisor, so he also goes to the tax supervisor every day. Originally, he only needs to come once or twice a month. Now , but the tax supervisor is regarded as a fixed residence, and the Baoyuan Bureau is gradually letting go.
"Little one takes orders, I'll go back to them now." The little eunuch said immediately.
The little eunuch went out, and Eunuch Xi sat down and thought about this problem. After receiving the letter from the emperor, he began to pay attention to the tax supervisor. Later, Zheng Huaizhong came to him again and discussed with him about the tax supervisor and invoices. Regarding the subsidy of [-]% of the silver, Zheng Huaizhong wanted Eunuch Xi to issue invoices later so that he could receive more business, and when he was almost done, he would register and issue invoices for those people.
Eunuch Xi didn't think much about it, but he agreed. When he first came to Nanjing and couldn't find silver coins, Zheng Huaizhong helped him a lot. Besides, they were all around the emperor, so he helped as much as he could. Besides, the emperor He also mentioned in the letter that it is not necessary to register all cats and dogs, but to choose some reputable and reliable businesses so that it will be easier to collect taxes in the future. Therefore, Eunuch Xi simply put aside those who wanted to register.
A group of people who want to register and receive invoices have to go out of the tax prison.
At the door, a person who came to register said: "Now a strange thing has happened. Give money to others, and they still don't take it back. Hey... What kind of world is this..." After finishing speaking, the person who came to register got on the sedan chair and walked away. up.
The others all looked sideways, all with downcast faces, got into their own sedan chairs, and left. Now that this strange event happened to him, he gave the money to someone else, but others decided not to accept it. This matter will be left to the past , who would believe it?One by one sighed bad luck.
The Jiangnan Shipyard is also very lively now, and there are suddenly many more people who come to build ships.Many people who originally built ships in other places, after hearing that the emperor subsidized [-]% of the ship, immediately changed their doors.
Zheng Huaizhong was also happy that someone built a ship with him. The emperor told him that it is a good thing to accommodate more people to work. If the disaster continues, if the people can find a place to work and find food, it will be good governance and great virtue. , Zheng Huaizhong's shipyard has expanded again and again, recruiting more and more craftsmen and personnel, and has never been picky about business, ranging from warships to Western warships, to a large number of fishing boats, and even Now merchant ships, as long as they have money, he will not refuse anyone. This time, he asked Mr. Xi to help him and let him postpone the registration for others so that he can attract more shipbuilding business. Zheng Huaizhong only hoped that, It is enough to accommodate more people to work in his shipyard and to share a little more worry for the emperor.
A group of sedan chairs coming out of the tax bureau stopped again in front of the gate of Nanjing Shipyard. Looking at the bustling traffic outside the gate of the shipyard, it was a busy scene, and all of them had unlucky faces. Many of the people who entered and left the shipyard were them. The regular customers there are gone, but now, all of them have gone to Nanjing Shipyard, a government-run place to build ships.
In addition to bad luck, it can only be bad luck. Who told the emperor's conditions to be so strange? If you don't have an invoice, you can't get a shipbuilding business.
……
On the Qinhuai River, on a charming boat.
A group of luxuriously dressed people sat around a table, enjoying the smell of rouge on the Qinhuai River.
Three rounds of wine.
"Everyone, now the Holy Majesty has issued a decree to subsidize merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. The [-]% silver subsidy has caused quite a storm in Jinling City! What do you think?" Sitting on the first seat The old man in Chinese clothes waved back the singing and dancing, and put the business on the table. At this time, on the Qinhuai River, it was the time when the boats were flying, the sound of oars and the shadows of lights, and the bustling golden powder.
"Brother Wang, this matter is a good thing. Your Majesty is kind and virtuous. He does not want the people of the world to suffer. Therefore, he is willing to give the [-]% of the silver to help the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to build ships to help transport the victims. I miss the Chen family. Our ancestors have taught us that in times of famine, we need to do it spontaneously to help the orphans. Now His Majesty even gives [-]% of the subsidy to help the orphans. In this way, my Chen family does not have much business in sea and water. Guan Ge is also planning to build a few ships..." The person who called himself the Chen family expressed his attitude first.
"The Chen family is worthy of being a family of the most benevolent! The Chen family's benevolent deeds are also well-known in this city of Nanjing. I admire, admire!" The old man called Brother Wang said with a smile.
"Huh, what's contemptible is that the eunuch doesn't register, doesn't issue a license, doesn't issue an invoice, and doesn't have an invoice. How can he get the [-]% of the silver? This business is all done by the eunuch himself. This is obvious. It's just for the benefit of the public, Jingzhong managed to get the [-]% of the silver through Mr. Wang, but the gang of eunuchs snatched it away..." A young son shouted.
"Brother Yang, listen to the old man, there is no need to slander those courtiers like this, those courtiers, now, are just pretending to exaggerate their status, so that they can set rules for others in the future, how did we laugh at taxes in the city of Nanjing before?" It’s not like you don’t know? Now that the tax supervisor is in power and has become a sweet potato, it’s natural to take care of your worth. Don’t worry, the ministers will register, issue licenses, and issue invoices for us in a short time. Now you can be regarded as a member of the half imperial party, don't worry, those ministers will not embarrass us..." The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile.
"The boy's words were too aggressive, thank you for the lesson, my lord." The young man surnamed Yang dared to admit his mistake.
There was another burst of wine.
The old man surnamed Wang said again: "Now, the old man urges you all to build ships if you have some money at home. In the future, the business at sea will be limitless!" The old man surnamed Wang suddenly brought up a topic.
"Oh, how do you say that?" Someone immediately asked with interest.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the southeast coast is about to calm down. Once the sea calms down, I don't need to say whether the business will be successful or not?" the old man surnamed Wang said mysteriously.
"Brother Wang, what do you say? The sea is not so peaceful now! Let alone the barbarians, the pirates have all landed, and they can attack cities and lands. Is this still called peace? How is this business going?" Do you do it? Could it be that Brother Wang has some knowledge?" A person who was sitting asked immediately.
The old man surnamed Wang stroked his beard, and deliberately showed off: "You only see that the current situation is not peaceful, but you know that the sea will be peaceful soon?"
"Brother Wang, I beg you to enlighten me!" Everyone immediately clasped their hands together and asked to see what the inside story this person had to say. The sea is not peaceful now. Pirates, big and small, and barbarians have settled one end, and the other end has turned up again. , It is really a life to make money but not a life to enjoy.
"Hey, everyone, do you know what the warships built by Nanjing Shipyard are for?" the old man surnamed Wang asked mysteriously.
"Isn't that sealing the ship? Isn't it also to guard against Japanese pirates?" Someone said immediately.
"Yes, this is one of them. Now, in order to prevent the Japanese from invading our sea again, Your Majesty has built many warships to deal with the Japanese. Do you know that now, the pirates on this sea are about to be wiped out? "The old man said mysteriously.
Everyone gathered together again, this is great news, the current sea is so bad, you have to pay two and a half shares, one to the pirates, one to the barbarians, and half to be bought The government, otherwise, it is absolutely forbidden to go to the sea, but it is not safe. The barbarians are not one. If you hand over this group of barbarians, there is another group. If you are going to Nanyang, you have to prepare and hand in a few more copies. Prepare, the pirate's share depends on the situation. If you hand it over to this group of pirates, you have to pay it to that group. If you lose that one, you are unlucky, and you will lose both people and goods. Only the half of the government's share is not needed. Repeated handovers, this is the current situation in the sea. Families and merchants who have something to do with the sea are all headaches. In the sea, no one can persuade anyone. There is no place to buy peace with money. Naturally, I hope that the sea can be peaceful as soon as possible.
"Brother Wang, although His Majesty is building warships, it doesn't mean that the sea will be peaceful. It's not uncommon for everyone to know the power of the government on the water. Even if they build warships, they may not be the opponents of barbarians and pirates. If you want to The sea is peaceful, and I don’t know when we will go there!” Although the man who claimed to be the Chen family had nothing to do with the sea affairs, he often heard about the sea affairs, so he didn’t think that the pirates and barbarians could quickly When it was calmed down, several other people on the table nodded when they heard it. How long did it take for the Japanese pirates to endanger the southeast?Even with Qi Shuai, a rare talent like Qi Shuai, it took many years to put down the Japanese troubles, pointing to those warships still in the shipyard to put down the sea troubles, everyone couldn't believe it.
"...Now His Majesty is recruiting the pirate Zheng Zhilong, have you heard of it?" The old man surnamed Wang didn't care, and said mysteriously.
One of them said: "Brother Wang, are you talking about Zheng Zhilong? This is a ruthless character. Wasn't he the one who went ashore last year? Siege the city and loot the land, defeating the officers and soldiers."
"It's him. Now, he's in the capital. Everyone knows that His Majesty attaches great importance to him. Is he going above the standard to appease him?" the old man surnamed Wang said mysteriously.
Many people know this news. They know that Zheng Zhilong has entered Beijing to be recruited. It is said that he is quite valued by the emperor. It is not very new that the emperor recruited him beyond the standard.
The old man surnamed Wang continued: "Think about it, everyone. After the sage has recruited Zheng Zhilong, relying on Zheng Zhilong's power in the sea, there will be a large number of new warships. With His Majesty's strong support, won't it be easy to wipe out the other pirates on the sea? Yes. With the backing of the Holy Majesty, isn't it easy for Zheng Zhilong to deal with the barbarians? Leaving Nanyang alone, the East China Sea alone has a lot of business in the Wa country. Once the pirates in the East China Sea are wiped out, it will be enough for me to suffer..."
"My lord, do you mean that Zheng Zhilong will let me intervene in the business of the Wa Kingdom?" the young man surnamed Yang immediately woke up and asked, this is great news, and now most of the trade of the Wa Kingdom is occupied by Zheng Zhilong Go, without Zheng Zhilong's permission, other people are not allowed to do Japanese trade, but according to what the old man surnamed Wang said, they may be able to do Japanese trade in the future, which is definitely great news.
The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile: "It is said that Sun Houzi can't jump out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha, so how can Zheng Zhilong be able to jump out of the palm of the Holy One?" The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile, this is the latest news he got from the capital, Zheng Zhilong might be unreliable. He was being manipulated to death by the emperor. The emperor's methods were beyond their imagination, and the emperor's understanding of the sea affairs was far beyond their understanding. It was impossible to fool the emperor and deceive the emperor. They wanted to bring Zheng Zhilong out, but the result might be that Zheng Zhilong completely surrendered to the emperor, since he would have nothing to rely on at that time, it would be better to switch to the emperor now, and he would have someone to rely on in the future.
After listening to his speech, the image of a wise and mighty emperor appeared in everyone's mind. Everyone here also knew a little about the emperor's various means, not to mention the disaster relief, but the tax supervisor alone, let everyone Many people felt the emperor's means.
"Can you explain it in detail, my lord?" Young Master Yang asked immediately. If it is true what the old man said, there is no doubt that there is a lot to do in the sea, so the shipbuilding must be stepped up.
"Hehe, all of you have seen the means of the current sage, and the grandeur is very grand, so the old man will not say much. The current sage must intervene in the matter of the sea. With the means of the current sage, once he intervenes, everyone thinks Thinking, how can Zheng Zhilong be allowed to monopolize the business of the Japanese country? How can Zheng Zhilong be allowed to be big? How can the barbarians be allowed to collect money at sea? At that time, the affairs of the sea must be decided by the scriptures, and we will devote ourselves to it now. Now under the command of the Holy Majesty, how can we not benefit from it in the future?" The old man surnamed Wang analyzed.
There was a commotion among several people. This news was indeed unexpected. Although the emperor was building warships and appeasing pirates, the emperor had never received any money at sea for many years. The sea trade did not hand over money to the emperor. It has been an old tradition for many years. Many people don't think that the emperor can deal with many ministers in the court and receive money at sea. Now, from the old man surnamed Wang, it seems that the emperor will rule the sea. Note to the emperor's side, it is naturally worth a try.
"Brother Wang, are you serious?" The person who called himself the Chen family asked anxiously.
"This word only came out of my mouth and into the ears of a few people. Don't let this word spread out. Now the Holy Majesty's sage is not something you and I can guess. The sea matter is better than ours. Naturally, he knows the maritime trade. How much profit is there, so naturally I won't let the money go unearned, otherwise, I won't recruit Zheng Zhilong with such a high standard. Let's see, it won't be long before I can see the result. When doing things as a scripture, the means are always grand, Therefore, as soon as you make a move, the sea will calm down quickly. At that time, as half of the imperial party like me, if you want to do maritime trade, you must get the protection of the Holy One. If you want to do business in the Japanese country, it is naturally possible. Zheng Zhilong dominates the business of the Japanese kingdom, and you have seen a leading general who can be as rich as an enemy?..." The old man surnamed Wang lowered his voice and said.
After finishing speaking, the old man surnamed Wang muttered again: "However, if you join the sage, you will have to pay taxes to the sage in the future. In this regard, the sage will not allow anyone to make trouble, so there is also the issue of the invoice, everyone, I, Wang, would like to remind everyone in advance that the Holy Majesty is so generous now because he has taken a fancy to this tax, and His Majesty has a long-term plan, do you understand?"
"As long as we can get peace at sea, as long as we can earn money, we should pay taxes when we pay taxes. Don't we have to give money to the barbarians and pirates to buy peace now? Now that we have paid the money, we may not be able to get peace. If the Holy Majesty To unify the whole world, to be able to settle in peace, I also recognize this money..." At the table, a person compares and compares, thinking that paying a few shares of money may not necessarily save his life, it is better to support the emperor to collect taxes, at least his life It won't be gone. As for the other things, who cares about them?Some people have meat to eat and money to take, clamoring not to let the emperor collect taxes, but who cares about their lives?
The old man surnamed Wang was one of the group of people who turned to the emperor after seeing no more hope in the matter at sea. Their last hope, after Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the emperor with high standards, they knew that something was wrong. I am afraid that my calculations will come to nothing. The emperor, who knows everything about sea affairs, will naturally intervene in sea affairs. Then their plan to hold up a pirate to protect them from the wind and rain will completely fail. It is better to take the initiative in advance than to be passive afterwards. If you take the initiative to seek refuge with the emperor, although you have to pay money to the emperor, as long as there is peace, and relying on the status of being the first to join the emperor, you can take advantage of maritime trade, which is quite beneficial.
The people at the table started to discuss one after another. This is indeed amazing news. According to what this brother Wang said, the sea will not be calm for long. So, the shipbuilding is just right now, and the shipbuilding cannot be done in a day or two. It takes half a year at least to a year at most, and it may take longer if preparation materials are added.If the emperor manages Zheng Zhilong, then Zheng Zhilong will no longer monopolize the business of the Wa Kingdom, and it is naturally feasible to intervene in the business of the Wa Kingdom with their status as half of the imperial party. This alone is enough to make a lot of money As for the money, as for the emperor to collect taxes, they believe that the emperor will naturally not let the people of his own imperial party suffer.
"Thank you, sir, for your guidance, the boy has been taught!" The young man surnamed Yang finally understood what he was doing, and immediately thanked the old man surnamed Wang excitedly.
"Brother Yang, there's no need for that. Remember, we are all members of the imperial party and the Holy One. It is enough to follow the Holy One." The old man said with a smile.
"Boy, thank you, my lord, for your advice. I'll go to the tax supervisor tomorrow. Uncles, seniors, please take care of my business. The boatyard at my house can only be enjoyed by my uncles." The young son immediately smiled and handed over to the few people present. After being pointed out by the old man surnamed Wang, the son surnamed Yang has already understood a lot of things. I believe that if he goes to the tax supervisor again, he should be able to register and get the invoice.
The people at the table cupped their hands one after another to express their care.
……
The next day.
This young man surnamed Yang went straight to the tax supervisor in a sedan chair. Yesterday, he got advice from an old man surnamed Wang. He already knew the way. I believe he will be able to register this time, and he will get the invoice. With the invoice, he can open the door to do business. up.
Watching the servants go to chat with Menzi, and put a piece of silver in the past, Young Master Yang felt that it was done.
Eunuch Xi often rests at the tax supervisor's side now.He naturally took the emperor's instructions to heart. Why did he sit in such a high position at such a young age and manage so much money? It was because of his loyalty to the emperor and his dedication to the things the emperor gave him.
"Eunuch, a person came outside the door asking for an invoice and wanted to register. This is his greeting card." A young eunuch took the greeting card and reported it to Eunuch Xi.
"Oh, take it to the family to have a look." Eunuch Xi took the greeting card, opened it, looked at it, looked at it for a while, and moved his eyebrows a few times. This greeting card is quite interesting, and it is completely different from the previous greeting cards. The invitation post is not to build relationships, nor is it to say good things, and it is not to imply how much money to give him. Class words.
Mr. Xi read this post and thought it was interesting. After such a long time, I finally met a sensible person. I met a sensible person. Those people in the past were crazy about money, thinking that cats and dogs can register and get money. When I got the invoice, I didn't think about why His Majesty subsidized them with [-]% of the ship's money, and the emperor didn't owe them any.
"Interesting, little Li, go and invite this person in, the Sa family wants to talk to him." Eunuch Xi said with great interest.
"My little one obeys, I'll invite you now." The little eunuch immediately agreed and went out with a smile.
……
Looking at the smiling little father-in-law who came out of the tax office, the young man surnamed Yang heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this time he really didn't come in vain. He didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing. Who knew there was such a famous figure?If you don't understand the tricks, how can you play in your arms?How can I get an invoice?How do you do business without an invoice?
"My father-in-law, what's the matter?" Young Master Yang immediately asked with a smile.
"Mr. Yang! Thanks to the Sa family for telling you about Xiang, father-in-law has promised to see you, come with the Sa family." The little eunuch smiled and said to the son surnamed Yang.
"Then there will be Mr. Lao!" Mr. Yang heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, he has a family. It was impossible to meet Mr. Xi before.
……
"I'm Yang Wenmin, I've met my father-in-law." The elder brother surnamed Yang bowed his hands and saluted, and said loudly that he had seen his father-in-law.
"Well, yes, young and promising, sit down!" Eunuch Xi sat on the upper seat, motioning for Young Master Yang to sit down.
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Only then did the son surnamed Yang sit down generously.
"Are you from the Yang family in Jinling?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"If you go back to my father-in-law, I'm right. My surname is Yang, my name is Wenmin, and my character is Haobai." Said the elder brother Yang.
"Oh, who are you from Zhejiang left to participate in politics?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"If you go back to your father-in-law, it's my distant uncle." Mr. Yang said.
Eunuch Xi already understood the origin of this person, a small family that is not too big, in Jinling, the Yang family is nothing, just a relative of an official far away, that's all.
However, Eunuch Xi doesn't care whether his family is small or not. If the family is too big, it will be difficult to control. If the family is too big, it may not follow his rules. This small family is just right, it is easier to control, and I don't have any capital to compete with myself, and I'm not afraid of his secret mischief, and I can even use him as a model for support.
"Your Majesty is merciful and considerate for the victims. Now, a decree has been issued to give Jiangnan merchants a [-]% subsidy and encourage merchants to build ships to help transport the victims. Do you know why they can't pass the Sajia level and get invoices?" Eunuch Xi is quite satisfied with this person.
Young Master Yang was overjoyed. Hearing Eunuch Xi's words, could it be that he has agreed to register himself, issue a license, and issue an invoice?Immediately he replied excitedly: "Go back to Eunuch, I understand, I must follow the requirements of the tax supervisor, the tax supervisor said one thing, I and the Yang family will never say anything, I will never cause trouble for my father-in-law, and I will never deceive you. Pay taxes in a regular manner, and never let the Holy One down, and never let the father-in-law down." Yang Wenmin got a suggestion from the old man surnamed Wang yesterday, and he already understood the key points. The emperor is generous now, just thinking about collecting taxes in the future, so Naturally, I don't want to see the tax supervisor hand out the money, but not pay the tax supervisor. Therefore, I put voluntary and regular tax payment in the first place. After registering and getting the invoice, according to the current momentum, his family's business will be very good immediately.
"That's right, that's right. Young people are indeed spiritual. Very good. Let me ask you, how do you know this?" Eunuch Xi is quite satisfied with this Yang Wenmin, who is very sensible. The emperor's plan is to collect taxes for a long time, so, now Registration and release of invoices are naturally prudent. It is impossible to register for those who steal, cheat and cheat, and randomly release invoices. Is it really a fool to be an emperor?Give those people money for entertainment?Therefore, merchants who choose to release invoices will naturally be cautious, instead of registering for everyone when they come up, and posting invoices, will it be a mess?God knows what these people will do when they get the invoice?Isn't the emperor's money in vain?
"If you go back to Eunuch, I will also be instructed by someone below, so I understand, Eunuch, I am also a person of the Holy One!" Young Master Yang said at the end, his voice was quite low, as if he didn't say anything.
Eunuch Xi nodded. This young man is really sensible. It seems that someone really mentioned him, otherwise he would not be able to say that he is one of his own, let alone understand the trick.
"Very good! Your family's license, Sajia will issue it to you right away, and the invoice will be issued to you immediately. Of course, you must remember what you said, since you are one of your own, don't cheat or cheat. , You can pay as much tax as you need, as long as you can guarantee this, you will be your own person, and you will naturally be able to enjoy the family and be taken care of by Your Majesty." Eunuch Xi was also very straightforward, and immediately issued a license to the Yang family and issued invoices.
"Thank you father-in-law, I and the Yang family will abide by the agreement, pay taxes honestly, and live up to the expectations of the sage and father-in-law." Young master Yang was overjoyed, it's that simple?It's hard to believe that I didn't give this Duke Xi money, let alone give him any benefits, just promised to pay taxes according to the rules, and mentioned that I was a member of the imperial party, and that's all right?
"Okay, no need to thank Sa's family, just remember your words... By the way, how much business can your shipyard handle?... Remember, as much business as you have done, just fill in the invoice, don't hide it Report, don’t over-report, let alone under-report, otherwise, once the incident occurs, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will not be able to bear the thunder.” Eunuch Xi told the young man who was the first to get the invoice, By the way, how big is his family’s business? The bigger the business, the more invoices they will give. When registering, operating capital is a very important item.
Brother Yang surnamed was a little embarrassed, this Eunuch Xi was in Jinling City, and he had tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands, and he really couldn't afford the little property of his own family.
"Back to my father-in-law, at the shipyard next home, I can only accept business of 3 to 5 taels each time, and [-] to [-] taels is the limit. If there are too many, I will not be able to turn around." The young man surnamed Yang said embarrassingly.
Eunuch Xi was stunned for a moment. The business of this family is indeed a small business, and only two or three thousand taels of silver can be traded. However, it is good that the scale is small so that it can be controlled. With the invoice from the tax supervisor, you don’t have to worry about his family’s lack of business. , Waiting to support his family, it will be easier to control, and it is far easier to deal with than those shipyards that have already scaled up.
"The business of 3 to 3 taels is indeed less. Once the invoice is issued to you, your business will immediately improve. What can you do with [-] to [-] taels?" Xi Gonggong said calmly.
"Back to Eunuch, if my Yang family squeezes in from other places, I can still move some money over..." At this point, the face of the young master surnamed Yang was already flushed, tens of thousands of taels of silver, in front of this Eunuch Xi, is really worth it. If you don't sell it, what others handle is at the level of tens of millions of taels of silver.
"Well, I see that you are also a sensible person. The Sajia has some friendship with the bank. You go to the bank and mention the name of the Sajia. They will give you the loan. It's not much. 10 taels should be no problem. Of course, if you The family is willing to take more things as collateral, and they will put more. You take the money borrowed from the bank, and the invoices issued by Sajia, and start a business. Your Majesty is disappointed..." Eunuch Xi didn't mind mentioning the Yang family, now that he wants to open up the tax collection situation for His Majesty in the south of the Yangtze River, it is natural to have a model, role model, and best friend. This Yang family is undoubtedly a good choice. The family is small and there is nothing to rely on, so the possibility of stealing and cheating is much smaller, which is easy to control.
Mr. Yang looked at the big eunuch in front of him in surprise. Aren't all the eunuchs love money?Why are you so easy to talk about now?Not only did he register and issue a license for himself, and he released an invoice, but he also interceded with himself and borrowed money from the bank. Now, with the money in the bank and the invoice, it is difficult for his family to not develop well, if it is far-fetched One point, it is not an exaggeration to say that he climbed up to the great eunuch in Jinling City.
"Father-in-law's great kindness, I can't repay it, please accept it next time." The son surnamed Yang made a ninety-degree bow, which was very grand.
Eunuch Xi accepted it calmly.
"Your big gift, the Sa family will accept it, just do what the Sa family said, as long as you and your Yang family don't forget what you said and the promise you made." Eunuch Xi said calmly.
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness!" Young Master Yang thanked him again.
