Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

"What the old man said makes sense."

"I can help you for a while, but in the end, I can't help you for the rest of your life."

"If you want to solve this problem, you have to start from the source."

"Uproot this evil end."

Zhu Gaoyu raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the store, and said solemnly,

"Don't worry, everyone, I will protect you as King Liang."

"What happened today will definitely not happen again."

"When this king returns today, he will definitely bring the villain who intends to subvert the imperial court to justice, and give the merchants an explanation!"

Zhu Gaoyu's voice fell, and there was a burst of applause in the store.

"it is good!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

"We have such a prince who loves the people like a son, it's really a great blessing!"

Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand with a smile, and then stopped staying. After leading people to bid farewell to Shopkeeper Zhou, he turned and left.

After coming out of Zhou Ji Pastry, Zhu Gaoyu also lost interest in having fun in Tianjie, and immediately returned to Prince Liang's mansion in a carriage.

Zhu Gaoyu frowned and hurried to the study.

Today, this week's pastry shop tax incident brought Zhu Gaoyu a wake-up call.

He clearly remembered that after Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he adopted a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce.

Suppressing businessmen is fine. This is all the ills of feudal society, and Zhu Gaoyu also expressed his inability to do so.

However, in order to suppress the status of businessmen, the commercial tax of [-] levies and [-] set out is really inappropriate.

The lower the commercial tax, the higher the agricultural tax.

This will not be conducive to the development of the country.

Thirty to one.

In this way, Daming will be able to collect three million taels of business tax in full every year.

And if the country wants to operate normally, it will cost more than one three million taels every year.

After all, the wedding of Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Zhanji will cost several million taels!

Under this kind of policy, businessmen hardly need to pay taxes. When the country encounters major events such as moving the capital and fighting a war, they can only increase the taxes on the peasants.

If things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to a long period of misery in the world, and there will be turmoil everywhere outside the court and the opposition.

This is not what Zhu Gaoyu wants to see.

If the world is in turmoil, then Zhu Gaoyu's life will not be easy.

Zhu Gaoyu sat in the study and pondered for a moment, and then went out to summon Sun Ruowei, the accountant of the palace.

Sun Ruowei was chatting with Hu Shanxiang about his daughter's family affairs.

Sun Ruowei's expression was still a little displeased when Zhu Gaoyu was inexplicably called over.

"My lord, what are you...what are you doing?"

Zhu Gaoyu frowned, pinched his waist and said displeasedly,

"What is it again?"

"Is this how you talk to your husband?"

Sun Ruowei was stunned,

"When did you become my husband?"

Zhu Gaoyu spread his hands,

"From the day you entered the palace."

Sun Ruowei was speechless,

"you..."

Zhu Gaoyu pursed his mouth and said impatiently,

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a name later."

"There are more important things to do now!"

Zhu Gaoyu stared at the inexplicable Sun Ruowei for a while, then asked,

"Are you literate?"

Sun Ruowei rolled his eyes.

Aren't you talking nonsense?

If I don't know how to read, how can I be the accountant of your palace? !

Although he thought so in his heart, Sun Ruowei did not dare to say so.

Sun Ruo nodded slightly, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice,

"Literacy."

Zhu Gaoyu touched his chin and nodded,

"Okay, come here."

"Ghostwriting."

"I said you write."

Sun Ruowei was stunned, not understanding what medicine Zhu Gaoyu was selling in the gourd.

Zhu Gaoyu urged,

"Why are you standing still?"

"Come here soon!"

Sun Ruowei nodded with a dumbfounded expression.

"it is good."

Sun Ruowei's handwriting is neat and fast.

Zhu Gaoyu did not speak slowly, and her ghostwriting was also very fast.

At first, Sun Ruowei only felt that Zhu Gaoyu asked her to ghostwrite this book just to impeach the minister of household Sun Shilang.

But the more she heard this, the more frightened she felt.

This kid is not only proficient in literature and martial arts, but also has a lot of brains in doing business!

Sun Ruowei agreed with the tax issue he raised in the booklet.

………………

Before working with many Jingnan orphans, she and her grandson's family also made a living by farming.

Farming is decent, but taxes are extremely high.

Occasionally a few years of bad luck encounter drought, the harvest in the field is not good, and the grain output is not much.

But no matter how difficult it is, the Ming Dynasty's taxation on the common people and peasant households will not be reduced in the slightest.

Sun Ruowei's family was deeply disturbed.

Later, he followed his father to Yingtian and started to run a restaurant, which changed the original agricultural tax into a commercial tax.

have to say!

There are very few business taxes, and businessmen really live comfortably!

But comfort is often reserved for those at the top of the food chain!

The top businessman is awash in riches.

And they are...

After Sun's restaurant established a firm foothold in Yingtian, various people began to collect taxes in the store under the banner of the official family.

It is said that the country needs to support the army, so the business tax will rise.

But everyone knows it.

Officials do not look down on the money of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants who are at the bottom of their ranks.

After all, there are still people who use the name of the housekeeper to take advantage of their own pockets!

But now Zhu Gaoyu has proposed on the paper that the state will send officials to various places in Daming to control the business tax.

The commercial tax increase will be stabilized to [-] levies.

It is up to the state to protect the interests of the bottom-level businessmen!

Sun Ruowei looked at the book in her hand, shook her head secretly, and then looked up at Zhu Gaoyu with a moving expression.

Seeing her moved look, Zhu Gaoyu laughed to himself, and waved his hand,

"Don't be blindly moved."

"Where did this go?"

"When Prince Liang's Mansion becomes the richest man in Ming Dynasty in the future, it won't be too late for you to be moved!" Tu.

Chapter 176

Daming's richest man?

Sun Ruowei was startled.
