Chapter 18 The Official Camp and Lu Xiangsheng


But when the words came to his mouth, Sun Chengzong swallowed back and said: "There are many ways to be thrifty, but this way to open up financial resources is difficult to determine!"

”Xu Guangqi took a sip of tea and said: "But now the people are getting more and more prosperous, the more people enjoy the honor, it is not possible to rely on frugality, the old army can't stop, and the new army has to practice, such as those post stations, if you abolish the post stations, you can save a lot of money, but once these post posts are out of business, what will happen to them, these people will make trouble, and then it is likely that the border troubles will not be peaceful, and the internal troubles will arise again, so we must open up financial resources." ”Sun Chengzong nodded: "This is exactly the reason, but this opening up of financial resources is also a matter of affecting the whole body." ”Xu Guangqi sneered: "You Donglin people usually don't like to talk highly, and you pay attention to family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world, so why do you really have no idea?"

”Sun Chengzong was not angry when Xu Guangqi ridiculed him like this, but said: "Empty talk naturally doesn't matter, but this is a national policy to be dedicated to Your Majesty, how can it be arbitrary, otherwise you will fall second, if you mislead the country and the society, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

”Xu Guangqi smiled slightly, he agreed with Sun Chengzong's answer.However, because of this, Xu Guangqi took the initiative to say: "I have a few ideas, would you like to hear it?"

”Sun Chengzong stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Please tell me your high opinion." ”Xu Guangqi said: "Why don't you learn from Zhang Juzheng, clear the acres of land in the world, and clarify the land endowment, so that the small people can reduce their taxes and increase taxes strongly, and then the treasury will increase their income and the people will not be burdened?"

”Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Zhang Juzheng is such a shrewd and capable person, even Feng Bao, the great master of the inner court, bows down to him, and the border general Qi Shaobao also has to be the dog of his disciples, and has not been able to completely stop the annexation of the fields, how can I Sun Chengzong have the ability to be enemies of the world, I am afraid that I will be in a different place before I have time to innovate the world!"

”Xu Guangqi said again: "Either you are Yan Song, from now on, be loyal to the superiors and be kind to the subordinates, collect money and loot, and then give the greedy money, although you will be a traitor, but you can also protect the society!"

”Sun Chengzong laughed again, waved his hand and said, "How can I have the ability to not fall for twenty years!"

Besides, Sun doesn't know where his career will be in the future, so you let me learn those first assistant methods!

”"But that's what Your Majesty intended!

I didn't ask you to prepare for Shousuke in advance. ”Xu Guangqi said again: "It's not good to clear the acres of land, and you don't want to collect money and loot, so I still have an idea!"

”Speaking, Xu Guangqi said: "In my hometown of Songjiang, the cotton cloth and weaving industry is developed, therefore, there are a lot of silk collection teeth, these teeth rely on earning the middle price difference profits, very rich, and the daily gold is small, but my Ming commercial tax is only to collect the tax and the deed tax of the transaction, this kind of intermediary business is not taxed, you can suggest that the imperial court increase the business tax, especially the tax of this tooth line!"

Nowadays, not only Songjiang, but also Jiangnan and Jingshi are all over the big and small tooth shops, and these taxes do not hurt the peasants or small traders, isn't it both?

”Sun Chengzong hurriedly stood up and said in horror: "This matter must not be done!"

Who doesn't know, it's either the emperor's relatives or the old Shangshu as a backer, if I suggest the collection of commercial taxes on these teeth, I will be ruined, and it will hurt Your Majesty!

It's up to you Xu Zi to think of it first!

”Xu Guangqi shook his head and said: "Then I have no choice, if I don't think of a way to do business taxes, will it be possible to levy more taxes on the land again?"

”Sun Chengzong said: "Naturally not, it doesn't matter if you add land in the south, anyway, you have a side business to support, but if we northerners levy more, we will really become mournful, starving, and even chaotic!"

”Xu Guangqi suddenly said again: "In the Han Dynasty, in order to conquer the Xiongnu, we had to collect salt and iron for official profits, why don't we also suggest that Your Majesty agree to some official industries?"

Similar to the opening of Huangdian Huangzhuang in the Chenghua Dynasty, you should know that at that time, it was also the Dongyu rebellion, and in the end, the Emperor of my Xianmiao used the benefits of Huangzhuang Huangdian to train a strong army and plough the Donglu's lair!

As a result, there was no more trouble in Liaodong for a hundred years, and it was not until recently that the Li family's self-respect led to the resurgence of the east. ”Sun Chengzong became interested after hearing this, and nodded: "But because of this, the people of the time have a lot of criticism of the Xian Temple, thinking that it takes the benefits of the people and manipulates hundreds of officials, so there is a paper paste three pavilion elders, clay sculptures and six books." ”"The lord is strong and the ministers are weak, so naturally there will be a papier-mâché three pavilion elders and six clay sculpture Shangshu, but it is just a matter of words, they can't wait for these important ministers to work against the Son of Heaven and listen to them!

But in this world, is the official or the Son of Heaven having the final say, and are we ministers loyal to the official or the Son of Heaven?

”Xu Guangqi asked."

Naturally, he is the Son of Heaven."

Sun Chengzong replied.Therefore, it is a good policy to make profits from the government!

You are right just now, as long as it is a tax increase, no matter what aspect of the tax is raised, it has to involve the whole body, but this money is not to implicate too many people, just need to invest in the operation of the people, the court directly to find the rich and noble to ask for money, but if the court to make money from the rich and noble, it is less difficult, and change the imperial camp to the official camp, in the name of the imperial court to profit, can not only achieve the effect of the Xian Temple Dynasty but also avoid the people of the time to slander the monarch's father, at most just say that your grandson is good at collecting money!

”Xu Guangqi continued.Sun Chengzong suddenly stood up again: "This is a very good idea!

Expand the benefits of the government!

At that time, His Majesty's internal funds can be used exclusively for the military, and the wealth of the civilian population can be completely supplemented by official profits!

”Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "In the end, you Xu Zixian, will think of new ideas, by the way, Your Majesty asked you to recommend veterans for leisure or Zhishi for the teaching position, how are you doing, do you have eyebrows?"

”Xu Guangqi replied: "I have searched through the files of the generals of the three major expeditions of the Wanli Dynasty of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and I have selected a group of veterans who have not passed away!"

is preparing to present His Majesty when the time comes, don't you say, Your Majesty is really a holy candle, and it is difficult for him to think that it is a waste to let these veterans return to the field and stay in the mainland, so they should be raised in the court to cultivate the future for my Ming Dynasty!

It is said that the chieftain of the East is good at fighting, I have so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, and the three major expeditions of the Wanli Dynasty have only passed more than 20 years, and there is no one stronger than him Nurhachi!

”Sun Chengzong laughed: "You Xu Guangqi not only want to train troops for the imperial court, but now you have to choose generals for the imperial court, but you have the style of Tan Xiangmin (Tan Lun, a famous minister who resisted the Japanese)!"

I haven't asked you yet, why do you come to the vicinity of this Jingying campus lately?

You tell me, why do you love to run here every day?

Wilderness!

”Xu Guangqi looked in the direction of the Beijing camp school and said: "Your Majesty said, not only can there be veterans sitting in the hall as gentlemen, but also outstanding young military attaches in charge of the new military supervisors, all of them say that the military equipment of the Beijing camp is relaxed, and I come here every day now to see if there are any military generals who still insist on training, I don't believe that the Beijing camp of Nuoda is full of military attaches who do not practice drills." ”Sun Chengzong laughed after hearing this: "I don't know if there are any military attachés in the Beijing camp who are still diligent in practicing military equipment, but in my country's sub-prison, I found that the prisoner practiced the art of riding and archery every day, saying that it was a big disaster in the future, and those who want to serve the country should not forget the six arts of the gentleman, so as to prepare for the king's battlefield in the future!"

”Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard this: "Yes, this move is a character, what is his name, Xu wants to know him!"

”Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Lu Xiangsheng, the word Jiandou, a native of Yixing, Changzhou, Nanzhili!"

Another day, I'll bring him to see you!
