Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled: "Then I am waiting for you Yuan Aiqing's commercial tax reform results!"
”Next.Yuan Keli immediately invited Bi Ziyan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Household and Commerce, Wang Sanshan, the new governor of Xichang, and Zhou Yongchun of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to the cabinet, and said: "Your Majesty now promises that once the effect of the commercial tax reform reaches the point where the annual commercial tax is half more than the amount of land tax, he will issue an order to ban the world's forced labor!"
Zhu Gong, from the servant's point of view, just according to the current estimate of the amount of loans provided by the Daming Bank, this condition is easy to meet, and even can be achieved in the first half of the year, and once it is really exempted from the world's forced labor, it is really the greatest good governance of the people since the implementation of the two tax laws at the end of the Tang Dynasty!
”"Therefore, the meaning of the servant, in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible and complete a great deed for the common people in the world, next, I also ask the public to strictly implement the commercial tax reform, don't be afraid of offending people, don't disobey the yang and yin, don't be perfunctory, don't be afraid of provoking incidents, and don't be greedy for ink and drift away, and do something that is easy to be stripped of the house and lose face!"
Yuan Keli continued, and asked, "What about the public will?"
”"If you can really avoid the world from forced labor forever, it is a very good thing for the people, no matter how big or small the landlord is to reduce the burden of forced labor, and the rent will also be reduced, and it is conducive to the increase of tenant farmers' income, the enthusiasm for reclamation will inevitably increase, and the grain production will inevitably increase, since the previous prosperity has never had such good governance, it is enough to go down in history, what we can promote, it can be regarded as living up to the ambitions of life, Yuanfu rest assured, the servant does not dare to guarantee for others, but the servant can guarantee that this commercial tax reform, the household side will never lag behind!
If anyone in the household department messes up, the servant will definitely go to the original music and please fire him!
”Bi Ziyan said.Zhu Youxiao's willingness to be exempted from forced labor in the world forever after the commercial tax exceeded half of the land tax was indeed a boost to the gentry, that is, the important ministers from the big landlords, who were more motivated by the commercial tax reform.Wang Sanshan did the same, and said: "Please rest assured that Yuan Fu is here, the lower officials will personally watch over the West Factory, and no one is allowed to embezzle taxes or cover for tax evaders." ”Zhou Yongchun also said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate will also keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, once there are signs of greed for ink and taxes, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will directly participate in the impeachment regardless of the situation, and when the time comes, please Bi Ge Lao and Wang Dutang not complain." ”Yuan Keli therefore stood up: "In this case, then please leave it to the princes!"
”…… Chongwenmen Outer Street.The new business tax is levied from here.The West Factory, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Households, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate each sent a team of officials and sergeants here, and began to collect new business taxes from the first store.Zhu Youxiao had already decreed the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce before this, and also asked the Daming School of Administration to train a group of officials who could settle accounts and audit accounts, in order to prepare for today's commercial tax reform.Now, as soon as the commercial tax reform officially begins, it is naturally well prepared.The first shop to be subject to the new commercial tax was a restaurant.The store is not small, full of three floors, named "Pinxiang Building", plus an independent courtyard for the entertainment of distinguished guests, in Chongwenmen Street, which is worth every inch of land, occupies a full hundred steps of the façade.Anyone who looks at it knows that it can open such a big restaurant here, and its background is naturally very large.However, no matter how big the background is, it cannot be bigger than the imperial court.Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Commerce, still came to the counter of this shop and instructed one of his officials, Li: "Ask their shopkeeper or shopkeeper, have you come to the Ministry of Commerce to register the store industry?!"
”Most of the people in Manjing also heard about the commercial tax reform through various channels.But no one can be sure of how determined the court really was.Some people who have a background and are used to being ordinary don't take this seriously.At this time, the shopkeeper of this "Pinxianglou" because he has seen many dignitaries and nobles, and his owner is a person with a head and a face, after being called by the officials of the Ministry of Commerce, he arched his hand to Peng Qing, a member of the Ministry of Commerce: "This official, you may not know, this Pinxianglou is the property of Cheng Anbo, and our owner is Cheng Anbo, do you think we need to come to your ministry to register?"
”"Since there is no registration, then register now, and the West Factory will collect taxes, and the household department will issue tax stamps for paying taxes!
Now the official first reads out the policy of the new commercial tax!
According to the profit situation, there are the following standards......"
Peng Qing was just about to start taking out the proclamation book, when he was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen hao slaves who rushed out with sticks, and among them, a bearded man in a soap-colored silk robe was still behind those hao slaves, and shouted to Peng Qing: "Don't give face and shame!"
Others are afraid of you officials, but Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu only knows that this is my lord's property, as long as Lao Tzu is here, none of you want to charge an extra cent of taxes!
”Bang!
Wang Sanshan really rode a horse here directly at this time, personally supervised the collection of new commercial taxes, and brought He Shixian, the governor of Xichang, over, and personally held a turtledove gun, and directly shot at the bearded man.Wang Sanshan is a person who followed Yuan Keli to cut down the eastern prisoners when he was the deputy envoy of the military garrison in Liaodong, and suppressed the rebels in the southwest.The bearded man fell directly to the ground, out of breath, blood was bubbling from his chest, his eyes were wide, he didn't expect that the tax collector would be so tough.Wang Sanshan also said directly at this time: "It is clear that the owner of this Pinxiang Mansion did not take the court in his eyes, he was resisting the decree, and he should confiscate the family property and behead the family owner!"
The people of the West Factory rushed in first and cut down these traitors who wanted to stop the officials of the imperial court from doing things!
Then, kick out all the guests inside!
Those who do not cooperate will be killed on the grounds of obstructing official business!
And seal up the shop!
Who is the owner of this shop, immediately report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let the Metropolitan Procuratorate participate in the impeachment!
”"They say it's Cheng Anbo Guo Yongzuo's industry!"
Peng Qing replied at this time."
Xiaguan will write a recital, participate in the impeachment of Cheng Amber, Guo Yongzuo, and obstruct the new business tax!"
Yu Shi Fei Tinggui said.Here, the officers and soldiers of the West Factory have already begun to rush towards the slaves who surrounded Peng Qing with knives, where did the slaves dare to surround Peng Qing and other officials, they directly dropped their knives and ran into the building.But there were also those who didn't run away, and they were cut to death by the people of the West Factory on the spot.The shopkeeper of this restaurant was also frightened when he saw this: "This, this, how is this so strong!"
”Before the shopkeeper could continue, he was hacked to the ground by an officer and soldier of the West Factory.Then, a supervisor from the West Factory, who was originally the military attache of the Border Army, Zeng Yu, walked in directly with Gu Duo, smashed Gu Duo on the table, and shouted: "Upstairs and downstairs, no matter who it is, go out for Lao Tzu immediately!"
The shop is now seized!
If anyone is slow for a moment, don't blame the knife and gun for being eyeless!
”"Where are you officials, how are you so rampant!
This official is the dynasty Hanlin, do you dare to fight it?!
”Hanlin Qingliu Zhang Xuan happened to be dining with two friends in this restaurant at this time, and when he saw this, he reprimanded loudly.Zeng Yu lifted a bone and walked towards Zhang Xuan, "Lao Tzu not only dares to kill you, but also dares to let you die!"
”Saying that, he was going to stone this Hanlin to death.Zhang Hanlin knelt down directly: "Spare your life!"
I just lost my words, that, I'll go!
