When Zhu Xu's convoy left Yingtianfu and went out of the city, Yingtianfu Yin Tong Zhengxiao was having a headache.
In front of him stood a group of officials, holding a handbook, making a report.
"My lord, the commercial tax in the first half of the year is expected to be less than fifty percent, and the merchants are all kinds of bitter, and they will close their doors at every turn, especially the rice grain, which should be closed by Tianfu and sixty percent, and the account books are even more unwilling to be handed over......."
"The summer grain harvest is less than fifty percent, plus the ......
'fire consumption' below, I am not sure how much is dumped, and the sown area seems to be less than that ......of spring ploughing."
"Our side is pretty good, I heard that there are fewer in Suzhou Mansion, and the gentry are full of complaints, and they love to ignore the government at all levels, let alone wear small shoes, if this continues, we can't make a difference......"
"The governor's yamen has urged many times, and the lower officials have stopped it for various reasons, but this is not a solution, I heard that Lord Chen is very dissatisfied......
A group of officials in Ying Tianfu were spitting, Tong Zhengxiao's temples were already white, and he had only been in charge of Shi Bangyao for a year, and he was already very exhausted and powerless.
If the core of the Ming Dynasty is Nanzhili, then the core of Nanzhili is Ying Tianfu, and similarly, replacing the word "core" with "trouble" is also valid.
Tong Zhengxiao looked at the notebooks in front of him, his ears were the bitterness of these officials, he frowned, and said impatiently: "What is the Law Enforcement Bureau doing?"
Can't they enforce it?
These merchants can still turn against the sky!
” The following Fu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Now the merchants of Ying Tianfu are very shrewd, close their doors for three days, do it for three days, the market is quite chaotic, the Law Enforcement Bureau wanted to pull out a few shocks, but before they moved, these people disappeared, and the shops were quickly transferred, and after two or three times, they were also ...... in a rut."
"Then revoke their licenses and seal their shops!"
Tong Zhengxiao raised his head and said coldly.
"They were originally closed for three days and closed for three days, if they were revoked again, they would be able to do it again under a different name, and the current prices ......"
"What do you do with the Price Bureau!"
Tong Zhengxiao said more and more angrily.
A group of officials smiled even more bitterly and said: "My lord, now they are very angry, and they have covered their refusal to come out, and if the price bureau restricts it, they probably won't be able to come out ......."
Tong Zhengxiao was born as a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, his behavior was upright, and he would rather bend than bend, listening to such words, he couldn't help suppressing his temper and wondered: "They won't make money?"
These businessmen have always been greedy for money, and they are not afraid of losing money?
” Several officials glanced at each other, and one of them said: "In addition to rice, grain, oil and noodles, other businessmen now want to go to sea, and restaurants and tea shops don't have to worry about making money, and the next official heard that several large salt merchants in the country have applied for overseas quotas from the Salt Science Department and are ready to sell at sea, and the profit of a boatload of salt is 100 times that of my Ming Dynasty......
Although Tong Zhengxiao does not understand business, he also understands that salt merchants are a directional sign of the business district, since salt merchants are ready to go to sea, I am afraid that other large and small merchants are following suit.
Tong Zhengxiao's heart was full of anger, staring at the group of people in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "There is no other way?"
Taxes can't come up, prices are still rising, the people are complaining, the emperor is going to Jiangxi, and he is bound to pass by Yingtian. ” A group of officials smiled bitterly, they had all seen the scene of the gentry collectively fighting together, and now, at most, it was the itch of ringworm.
But this sentence can't be spoken, let alone the real emperor passing by and letting people participate in their Yingtianfu Ya.
A master bookkeeper thought for a moment and admonished: "My lord, in the end, this matter was caused by the 'New Deal', and now we can either take a step back and make a slight concession with the gentry within the scope of our power and position to gain their support, or we can force them to the end and force them to accept the 'New Deal'!"
” The 'New Deal' has always been forced by the imperial court, and I don't know how much backlash there is, and now Ying Tianfu has also come to a critical decision.
As soon as the voice of the master book fell, Youfu Cheng said decisively: "My lord, you must not retreat!"
We are the yamen, where is there a reason to retreat to the people!
What's more, with the first time, there will be a second time, these gentry merchants have always been insatiable, how can we bow our heads again and again!
Besides, the governor's yamen, the court, and the emperor are all watching, and if they think we are weak, we will not be able to run away from the charge of 'dereliction of duty'. ” Zuo Fucheng also immediately followed: "My lord, you can't back down!"
If we retreat, the whole Jiangsu will be affected, if it causes a storm, it may affect the entire 'New Deal', at this time, we must not waver, even if it is difficult, we must grit our teeth and persevere!
” Tong Zhengxiao has always been upright, how could he retreat easily, his face was indifferent, and he said, "Then what can you do?"
” Everyone also knew that they couldn't retreat at this time, and a general judge stepped forward and said, "My lord, the most important thing now is the daily use of the people, as long as this is stable, the others will not be able to support it for long."
The lower officials suggested, please instruct the imperial court, open the granary of Yingtian, and stabilize prices!
” Tong Zhengxiao nodded slightly and said, "This is a solution, but you can't ask the court for help unless you have to." ” This will seem to be very useless from all over the world, and it is easy to not speak.
At this time, Zuo Fucheng thought for a while and said: "My lord, can you borrow a little bit like Shenlong Mansion, even if you can't borrow grain, borrow a sum of silver, in the name of our Ying Tianfu, buy grain from large merchants across the country, it is not necessarily necessary to buy a lot, as long as there is a part, after a period of time, I believe those merchants will have to open their doors." ” Grain should not be left for too long, not to mention stale grain, it is also easy to perish.
Tong Zhengxiao's expression moved slightly and he did not speak.
Everyone knows what kind of place Shenlong Mansion is, if you really want to open this opening, the emperor must know it, and I don't know if it's a plus or a minus.
Seeing this, Youfu Cheng suddenly said: "My lord, Xiaguan remembers that the trade treaty we signed with Xiyi will have a batch of grain ashore this year, just in Shenlong Mansion, can you get some?"
” Everyone also suddenly remembered this matter, in the next three years, Daming will receive 20 million stone of grain from overseas, and they can't help but look at Tong Zhengxiao.
Tong Zhengxiao is Ying Tianfu Yin, who ranks last in the governor's yamen, but he is also a provincial-level official, so he should know some details.
Tong Zhengxiao looked at everyone, thought for a while, and said: "It's not a secret, these grains come in, the imperial court is planning to fill the treasury, in order to further reduce taxes and taxes in the affected places across the country, tax exemption, this year is the first batch, it is estimated that there are two or three million stones ashore, not much, even if the imperial court gives us, it is far water can not save the near fire." ” Everyone listened, nodded silently, and after a while, Youfu Cheng said: "My lord, then it is a two-pronged approach, first, the government strictly orders that prices must not be raised, and violators will be severely punished."
For those who resist taxes, the business license will be revoked and will not be approved in a short time.

Second, it is to suggest to the governor's yamen that all merchants who go to sea not only need the approval of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but also need to be verified by the Law Enforcement Bureau, and a directory will be drawn up. ” Everyone looked slightly shocked, the first one was ruthless enough, and the second one was even more ruthless, including the three clans!
Some people looked at each other and did not dare to respond.
If this is really done, Ying Tianfu must be chaotic, no, it should be the entire Nanzhili!
Tong Zhengxiao's eyes were wide open, as if he had a murderous aura, and said, "It's not just that.
Wait a while, the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Criminal Prison Division, the Dali Temple, and the Governor's Yuan will all call me, and the official will settle the accounts after the autumn!
” Although Tong Zhengxiao has only been in office for a year, it is well known that this person is bold in Kunming and does not allow a trace of affection, and with such a large scale, Ying Tianfu is really going to be chaotic!
The general judge hesitated and said, "My lord, do you want to think about it in the long run?"
If it is a large-scale inventory, it may add fuel to the fire, and it will be unfavorable in front of the eyes, if the emperor sees a messy Ying Tianfu, I am afraid that there will be thunderous anger......"
Tong Zhengxiao glanced at him, stood up, looked down at a group of officials, and said in a deep voice: "This official has also presented himself to the emperor when he entered Beijing, and the emperor has said something to me, that is: I would rather demolish the house than move forward, and we must not stop moving, or even retreat!"
This official wants to tell everyone in Ying Tianfu that this official is the imperial party, and he is a hardcore supporter of the 'New Deal', they can calculate in secret, and this official can also raise a knife and cut it down, to see who dies first!
