Chapter 348 Small good and big evil, killing one person less will harm tens of millions of people
What Wang Chonggu supervised was an official factory, which was related to the lives of tens of thousands of people. Wang Chonggu repeatedly warned not to let Wang Qian be there Make enemies outside, don't make enemies. When they reach this point, the only way to destroy them is to disobey the holy will, and the only one to destroy their family is yourself.
Wang Chonggu used Zhang Siwei as an example. The Ming Emperor deliberately sought trouble for Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei hid far away and went back to his hometown. Could the emperor still pursue him as far as Shanxi? Your Majesty is so busy with everything, including national affairs, family affairs, and world affairs. He has to care about everything. How can he have time to pay attention to Zhang Siwei?
But Zhang Siwei insisted on jumping out.
Wang Chonggu did not want his son to make enemies everywhere, so he kept a low profile and was cautious outside, so as not to cause trouble to the family and not to offend His Majesty.
"Wang Cifu, I think Wang Qian did a good job. He neither spent money nor let the rich people who migrated to Beijing get their way. He stepped on them hard. He did an excellent job. Well, Wang Cifu, in the world of fame and fortune in the officialdom, how can you have so much control over yourself?" Zhu Yijun said a few good words for Wang Qian.
People in the world cannot help themselves.
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is the world's largest zero-sum game of fame and fortune. It is extremely difficult, even impossible, to wallow in it and still want to emerge from the mud without being stained, and wash through the ripples without being evil.
To this day, Zhu Yijun has only seen one example of Hai Rui. Hai Rui was able to do it largely because he was used to being poor. After a long period of practice, his material desires have already become Worry about the country and the people.
Hai Rui is a magic sword of the Ming Dynasty, but this magic sword is too sharp and too strong. Zhang Juzheng’s attitude towards Hai Rui’s return to the court only has six words: Qu Zequan, Wan Zi Ze straight .
Wang Qian's identity is destined to do these things. He will be contaminated and involved in them. This is his fate and he cannot avoid it.
"You're still too arrogant. Isn't this nonsense?" Wang Chonggu still disagreed with Wang Qian's excessive involvement in this kind of thing.
"Young people, are you still young if you are not full of energy?"
"Wang Cifu thinks it was this Yao Guangqi who did it?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
He hoped to hear Wang Chonggu’s inference that Yao Guangqi was the most suspicious.
“I don’t think it’s the majority.” Wang Chonggu said with a strange expression: “I don’t think so. Your Majesty, I dare not say that this official factory is impregnable and water cannot be poured into it, but our official factory has housed so many divorced people. I don’t believe that Yao Guangqi can do this.”
The Ming Dynasty official factory has its own laws, which contain many strange rules. These strange rules are generally observed and implemented. The people who made these laws were all old retired soldiers. Although they were said to be old, they were actually more than ten years older than His Majesty. He looked like he was twenty-six or seven years old, and he was definitely not an old janitor.
These sharp soldiers know that the official factory is a big deal, and they keep a close watch on the official factory, especially the warehouse. Yao Guangqi has the skills of Monkey King, can he still fly in with a somersault?
"What does Wang Cifu mean?" Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a mole?"
Wang Chonggu said quite accurately: "There is definitely a mole! Your Majesty, what happened years ago? At that time, Liu Qiniang met the emperor and told his majesty about the occupation. His majesty ordered me to investigate for myself. As soon as the wind was released here, the official factory over there was on fire. I thought that Yao Guangqi could not do it, and only a ghost could. It can be done.”
"Okay, let's check them all." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "Wang Cifu, are there any difficulties in the investigation of internal encroachment this time? If there are difficulties, I can allocate two people to punish one thousand households and one hundred Ming Tiqi, help Wang Cifu handle the case."
"There is no difficulty." Wang Chonggu shook his head after thinking seriously: "Your Majesty, people are actually much more fragile than imagined, and they don't even need anything. As soon as I sat down on that stool, after three or five sentences, the preface and the follow-up were inconsistent. After ten sentences, the words began to be inconsistent. After fifty sentences, the situation was completely chaotic. Most people have confessed. "
Wang Chonggu, as the Minister of Punishment, really has a say in this matter. People are more fragile than they think. How bold they are when committing crimes, sitting on the confession bench. When I got there, I was as timid as a mouse. I didn't even need to ask more questions. I was pressed on the bench of the judge and I explained the problem clearly.
"Ah, is this really the case?" Zhu Yijun looked around, including the ceremonial officer inside the palace, the red-helmeted general outside the palace, the Han general at the Meridian Gate, and Ti from the North Town Fusi outside the Meridian Gate. Riding, among the three thousand piers and distant princes scattered on the grassland, which one does not have a will as strong as iron? Zhu Yijun had never seen the words timid as a mouse in any of them.
Zhu Yijun was very sure that even if they died, they would die standing.
Wang Chonggu obviously noticed His Majesty’s gaze. He thought about it seriously and said: "High morals are not entirely a disadvantage."
"The high moral disadvantage of Taixi Special Envoy Legas is in the colonial period. Due to the disadvantages in the war, Ming could not completely enslave the natives, or even completely eliminate the opponent and gain everything."
"But morality is the foundation of peace in the world within the Ming Dynasty."< br>
Morality is what traditional Confucianism advocates most. It seems that as long as everyone cultivates their own morality, the world can be harmonious. This logic is not problematic in theory. Everyone has high moral standards. Morality, that is, when everyone respects each other as guests, it is naturally a prosperous age where no one picks up things on the road and does not close the door at night.
But in practice, due to material foundation, nature, education, etc., the morals of everyone are uneven. This moral gap creates various contradictions, and ultimately we have to Appeal to legal constraints.
This is what has been done in the past dynasties since Qin unified the world. The skin of Confucianism and the bones of Legalism are covered with a layer of Confucian skin, but the inside is supported by the bones of Legalism.
The law is only the lower limit, responsible for covering the bottom line, while morality is the upper limit, determining the upper limit of a civilization.
The Han Dynasty is full of loyalty and good people.
In Duntai Yuanhou, who is still floating on the grassland in the white-haired wind that cannot distinguish up, down, left, east, west, south, these loyal and good people are emerging one after another. They are not created for no reason. They all have fathers. A mother has a wife and a son, a living human being made of flesh and blood.
Wang Chonggu slightly hates the word "high moral inferiority". He believes that this word is a special word in a special background. It is a specific word established in the overseas competitive environment of the Ming Dynasty. It has great influence on the Ming Dynasty. The rule of the land has no reference significance.
"Your Majesty, most ordinary people do not have much will to resist when they do something wrong, especially when they know they have done something wrong. When the incident is not exposed, they can still say a few words and wait until it is exposed. , After a day or two, he said nothing." Wang Chonggu once again answered his Majesty's question affirmatively.
"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? A dog in a flying camp steals the public for private gain, how can it be compared with the distant princes of Duntai and Yuanhou in the eyes of God?" Wang Chonggu reminded His Majesty that there are some differences between people. time, bigger than humans and dogs.
"Then this matter will be left entirely to Wang Cifu. If you have any difficulties, feel free to ask." Zhu Yijun understood and said with a smile.
"I obey the decree." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and reported the fire in Yongding Woolen Factory. Wang Chonggu did not intend to rest during the New Year, and settled the matter first.
In fact, Wang Chonggu had another big killer weapon that he did not explain to the emperor. Wang Chonggu’s biggest killer weapon was the emperor himself.
Originally, they took dozens of kilograms of wool, a few woolen horses, and a foot of worsted rags. At most, they were fined a little, and those with a large number were expelled from the official factory. After leaving the official factory, the private workshops surrounding the official factory , you can also go.
But if these matters are really brought before the emperor, it may not be that simple.
Everyone from Hokkaido to Ireland knows that Your Majesty is fond of killing people.
As long as Wang Chonggu moved out the emperor's giant Buddha and said that he was not honest, he would send it to Beizhen Fusi Yamen for Tiqi to interrogate. Wang Chonggu would not believe it. Every one of these people dared not to confess! For those who say they are not afraid, Wang Chonggu praises him as a man!
Don’t talk about them. Even Wang Chonggu, a first-rank official in the court, stayed away from Beizhen Fusi. He never wanted to go in and be asked how many people had entered Beizhen Fusi’s prison. One came out alive?
Wang Chonggu's judgment was extremely accurate, especially when the emperor reminded him of his instructions and asked about everything. As soon as the words came out, some people started crying and howling on the spot. His Majesty, the day before the wedding, had seven hundred people killed in prison. Twenty mouths!
This kind of job embezzlement, especially in a relatively closed environment, as long as a hole is opened, the case will be quickly investigated. The case of the warehouse fire was also investigated to the bottom. It is true that there is a warehouse ambassador who embezzled to an extent. , upon hearing the public opinion about the investigation, he immediately panicked, and after repeated hesitations, he got into a rage.
It is a typical fire dragon burning the warehouse.
Whenever the imperial court inspected the grain stored in Changping warehouses in various treasuries, fires began to break out in Changping warehouses in various places. The fire could burn all traces. This is the fire dragon burning the warehouse. .
Wang Chonggu brought out the emperor's banner, which is really useful. It basically conveys a meaning: speak well if you are given dignity, don't be shameless and have to be slapped twice before you speak.
This time it was Zhu Yijun, the emperor, who really misunderstood Yao Guangqi. Yao Guangqi was indeed brave, but he was still not bold enough to seek death in the emperor's minefield. Who didn't know that Yongding and Yongsheng Woolen Factory were the emperor's small treasury? Yao Guangqi was pushed out to fight for the right to speak, not to die. It was just that the local luxury households were not polite and played tricks in fighting for wealth, which made Yao Guangqi fall into trouble.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Wanli, most of the folk workshops in the capital have not yet started construction, and the capital is still immersed in the festive celebrations of the New Year. After all, the lighting of Aoshan Mountain does not start until the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the New Year celebrations will last until the 16th day of the first lunar month. Just ended.
But the Ming Dynasty’s court break has ended, and various government offices have begun their busy work after the New Year. Zhu Yijun also appeared in the Wenhua Hall with a yawning Zhu Yiliu.
Zhang Juzheng led the courtiers to salute respectfully. He stood up straight, glanced at Zhu Yili, and could only sigh secretly. Zhu Yili's appearance was almost the same as that of His Majesty before the assassination of the king. What is engraved in it is the appearance of a naturally noble person, who is not very concerned about anything and is greedy for comfort and enjoyment.
Zhang Juzheng has carefully thought about the issues mentioned by His Majesty, and completely distinguished the king and father, the king and the king, because the king's personal level has a great impact on the fate of the empire. What kind of dynasty , even if there are two Ming Yingzong, they will be finished.
Having been a nobleman since birth, can he really become a qualified king, a cold political machine, and the master of the world who will lead the Ming Dynasty to revive again?
From His Majesty’s point of view, it is possible, but looking at the past dynasties, it seems that it has never happened before.
"This ambassador from the Treasury has nothing else to do, so he will be sent to Yingchang to be exiled to the army." Zhu Yijun picked up the red pen on the table, looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "What do you think is the appropriate way to handle this?" "
"Your Majesty is wise and sincere, your Majesty is benevolent and benevolent to the people." Wang Chonggu did not have any intention to veto the ambassador who burned the warehouse. Wang Chonggu's sentence was to kill Lu Guangzu of Dali Temple. It was also determined that he should be killed, but from beginning to end, Wang Chonggu had never respected the laws of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was an imperial dynasty, and there was no legal system. There was only human rule. His Majesty was willing to forgive him in the name of the emperor, so there was no need for Wang Chonggu to stop him too much.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Juzheng said slightly hesitantly: "Your Majesty's benevolence has spread throughout the world. This is a celebration for the world. However, the rewards and punishments are unclear, and it is a great harm to the country. Please think twice."
Zhang Juzheng could understand why the emperor wanted to be lenient, just because the warehouse ambassador was from a poor background, a poor coolie, and one of the top 100 craftsmen of the Yongding Woolen Factory in the Ming Dynasty.
The Yongding Woolen Factory in the Ming Dynasty did not raise tall buildings from the ground, but was built bit by bit. At the beginning, there were only more than 100 people in the factory. Now it has expanded to more than 30,000 people. This warehouse ambassador is indeed a veteran of the official factory.
"He has contributed to the official factory." Zhu Yijun put down his ink pen and explained the reason for his decision.
“Since ancient times, merits and demerits have not been equal to each other. Merits are merits, and faults are faults.” Zhang Juzheng said very accurately: “Your Majesty, Yi said: A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed, and a house that accumulates bad deeds will have lingering disasters. People's words and deeds will have corresponding consequences. There are causes and effects. "
"People's past achievements and current faults cannot offset each other, because their respective causes produce their own effects, so they are proud of each other. "The dragon has regrets." "The dragon has regrets" is an idiom from the "Book of Changes", which means that those in high positions must think twice before acting, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be thoughtful, otherwise, if they are slightly careless, You will definitely regret your failure.
The merits and demerits do not offset each other, and the virtues and obstacles do not correspond to each other.
Seeing that His Majesty was still hesitant, Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said: "Your Majesty, the last thing he should do is set fire, not take away the property from the treasury. The property is not worth a human life. But if he sets a fire, he cannot be forgiven.”
“Mr. Yuanfu, even if your Majesty thinks that the warehouse ambassador is not a stubborn person, he can be saved and is willing to give him a chance. Why bother, Mr. Yuanfu? Why are you so aggressive? The thunder and rain are all due to your kindness." Wang Jiaping, who was promoted to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy and also the Young Master of Zhan Shifu, fired directly at Zhang Juzheng. The point still falls on the Power of Power and Power.
Wang Chonggu was horrified. Whose general was this? He was so brave. He actually fired directly at Zhang Juzheng. After a closer look, he found that it was his own general, Wang Jiaping, a direct descendant of the Jin Party.
Wang Chonggu wiped his face and could only admire Wang Jiaping's courage. How dare he offend Zhang Juzheng, who was so determined to retaliate?
Zhang Juzheng immediately smelled a familiar smell. It was too familiar.
Ge Shouli has died of illness, but Ge Shouli's two direct disciples, Wang Jiaping and Fan Yingqi, are still active in the court. Wang Jiaping took over the banner of the master's power from Ge Shouli.
"Xueshi Wang's words are wrong. This is a court meeting, a place for talking. How can it be that the power of power is the power of power?" Li Youzi, the right president of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately opposed Wang Jiaping's suggestion. Criticism, this is the Wenhua Hall, a place where government is discussed. If people are not allowed to speak, how can we discuss politics in the Wenhua Hall? !
Wang Jiaping frowned and said: "Mr. Li, this is indeed a court discussion, but does Yuan Fu also need to be in charge of this matter of punishment? Isn't it a bit over the top!"
The war of words began. Zhu Yijun was watching with great interest on the platform!
Wang Jiaping and Li Youzi were still arguing, while Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu and Wan Shihe were looking at His Majesty's expression.
The reason why His Majesty is so diligent has been found. It’s not that His Majesty loves the court, His Majesty just loves to watch the excitement and people fight! Looking at those bright little eyes, it seems to say, start fighting, start fighting quickly.
Wang Chonggu looked at Wang Jiaping, who was from the Jin Party, and Zhang Juzheng looked at Li Youzi, who was from the Zhang Party.
Wang Jiaping and Li Youzi finally stopped quarreling. The party leader had told them with his eyes that it was time to quarrel and not to start a party dispute, otherwise no one would be able to control it.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng, then looked at the memorial in his hand. He did not intend to change the sentence. He decided the case according to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. He picked up the Wanli Dabao, printed it on Wang Chonggu's memorial, and said, "Kill him." ."
"What you said is very true, I thought less."
"If I open this hole, we Ming officials will dare to liquidate all the Ming Dynasty. The warehouse ambassadors of the Ming Dynasty were all replaced by poor coolies, for no other reason than to let them take such a blame. Then our Changping warehouse in the Ming Dynasty can no longer inventory the inventory, because once it is found that there is a fire, then , Am I forgiving or not?”
“My ministers are limited to their status as ministers and cannot speak out about my mistakes. I also know that what I did was wrong, but I am the great emperor, how could I do that? Is there anything wrong? You can only be so confused. Many things in Ming Dynasty are caused by this confusion. "
"What you said is reasonable, and the only word for a ruler is reward and punishment."
"Small good and big evil, killing one person less will harm tens of millions of people."
Some kindness is hypocritical kindness. Zhu Yijun forgives this treasurer ambassador. If the position is closed, it will inevitably be ruined. Once there is a natural or man-made disaster, it will be overthrowing chaos.
Small good and big evil.
Zhang Juzheng’s words are always very precise on the core of the problem. If the Treasury Ambassador, who was born in poverty, had not set this fire, the emperor would have forgiven him, Zhang Juzheng was determined not to stop it, but the Treasury Ambassador involved in the case , the mistake was that by setting this fire, the nature of the matter completely changed.
“Your Majesty is wise.” Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly.
"Sir, when you accuse Chen Shan, you have fulfilled your duties as assistant to the Prime Minister. Mr. Wang, there is no need to be so nervous." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Jiaping. He did not criticize, but just confirmed that when the court was discussing, he could say anything, but once the decision was made, he would We must resolutely implement it. This was also the consistent style of Wenhua Palace when Ge Shouli was in power.
“Let’s continue the court discussion.” Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Juzheng could start the court discussion.
“Last year, Jiubian Army Town and Jingying camp accumulated a total of grain, salt, beans, grass, oil and other physical goods, which was converted into 9.28 million silver, and the old treasury first deposited 540 silver. With 20,000 silver, Taicang can spend more than eight years. This is the result of enriching the country and strengthening the army." Zhang Juzheng briefly reported on the military support.
These conversions are extremely cumbersome. The prices of grains, beans, etc. vary from place to place, making the calculations extremely troublesome. However, the Household Department Yamen led by Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan completed these accounts very well. To sort it out, since the physical military pay system and six volumes and one account were widely implemented, the Ming Dynasty's frontiers have been visibly enriched. Where the northern captives could sneak in before, there are now Ming Dynasty frontiers staring at the bounty.
The country has lost its great trust and people are suspicious.
When a country loses its credibility, it means people are scattered and start to doubt each other. Can the government's decrees really be fulfilled? Do the soldiers on the border really have the strength to fight and defend? This kind of mutual suspicion will further divide people's hearts.
The establishment of a dynasty to its demise is actually a process of concentration and dispersion of people's hearts. This process is not quantifiable.
The Ming Dynasty's physical payment silver system was actually the Kaizhong Law implemented during the Hongwu and Yongle years. It was not a new decree. It was just that at that time, only salt was in the hands of the soldiers. Now there are real objects such as grain, oil, beans and grass.
There must be some corruption issues in this process, but after all, it is many times better than the previous years when wages were owed and not paid. The border troops have gradually shown their strength. They really can't defeat these northerners outside the Great Wall. Prisoners, how can these prisoners show off their evil deeds in the pass area?
"Sir, you should take the first credit." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with the results of the national uniform and strengthened the army, and affirmed Zhang Juzheng's contribution.
Zhang Juzheng said without any concealment: "Most of the 5.42 million silver in the old library are His Majesty's money, or the money His Majesty brought back from his efforts to open the sea."
"Among them are The 3.2 million silver was accumulated from the collection of points for the Taixi galleons in the past few years, and the 1.2 million silver was presented by the rates of the shipping departments of Mizhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Fujian, and Guangzhou. In other words, if not for His Majesty Insisting on opening the sea, Chao Gang is arbitrary, I am afraid that the old treasury can only save more than a million silver, and it will still be a loss of wealth. "
The silver saved in the old treasury is all brought by His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty will deduct it. I saved some money by buckling the rope, and threw it all into the bottomless pit of Nanya Kaihai.
"Oh? Really? I just did some trivial work." Zhu Yijun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The world belongs to my old Zhu family, and it is what we should do. Continue to discuss, continue to court Let’s discuss it.”
Confucian scholars have always opposed degree bypass and digitization. This is the reason. Once specific quantification and specific data are provided, we can see who is working and who is working. Barking but not working, data is the best practical feedback.
His Majesty began to serve as a royal servant when he was ten years old. In seven years, he secretly saved more than five million silver for the national treasury.
This is the confidence to squander.
Zhang Juzheng looked at His Majesty, who was already in his prime, and smiled. He actually had reservations about opening the sea. It was not that he had overseas interests. There were countless ships floating on the sea. The court set up cards to collect taxes. Zhang Juzheng's personal interests were harmed because his reservations about opening the sea were due to the difficulty.
Zhang Juzheng read history books and found that the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak during the Yongle period. Even at that time, the Ming Dynasty could not even solve a problem of shipping grain.
In the sixth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu issued an order to build 2,000 sea-going ships, planning to transport 800,000 shi of grain to Beiya for the Northern Expedition. At that time, Song Li, the Minister of Rites, used sea-going ships to build Taipo , it was proposed to build flat-bottomed canals to transport grain to make up for the shortage of grain transported by sea.
The original plan for shipping grain to the banner army was 10,000, with each committee commanding thousands of households, and the number was gradually reduced to 3,000. The frequency was also reduced from twice a year to once a year, and then in the Yongle decade, every three years. twice a year, and by the 13th year of Yongle, shipping grain by sea was completely stopped.
There is only one reason. It is really easy to transport grain by sea. From the sixth year of Yongle to the thirteenth year of Yongle, during these seven years, the original plan was to transport 5.6 million shi of grain, but it only cost 100 shi to the capital. Five hundred thousand stones, and other ships covering the ocean were sunk.
In the ninth year of Xuande, the Ming Dynasty’s last official ship voyage to the south was suspended. This was also related to the fact that the fleet was unable to make ends meet and its income was far less than expected.
It’s not that Zhang Juzheng never thought about opening up the sea. During the Longqing period, Liang Menglong, who was in charge of shipping grain by sea, was Zhang Juzheng’s direct disciple. However, the practice during the Longqing period also proved that shipping grain by sea was really not feasible.
Both grain shipping and short-sea transportation cannot solve the problem. Is opening the sea really the right choice?
Fortunately, Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Yuanxun, and Deng Zilong led Lin Afeng and a group of Zhao'an pirates who could not be resettled, and rushed into Manila, the territory of the Hongmao Fan, which was unstable. After archaeological research combined with European and Western shipbuilding techniques, , the three-masted plywood ship came out, the five-masted ocean-going ship came out, and the problem of transporting sea grain by water in the Ming Dynasty was gradually solved under the bypass.
“This year, we will still enrich the country and strengthen the army.” Zhang Juzheng wanted to set the tone for Wanli’s seven-year New Deal and continue to deepen the reform. The content and theme remained unchanged, enriching the country and strengthening the army.
"The Ming Dynasty is still not rich enough, and the Ming army still needs to strengthen its military. I deeply believe this." Zhu Yijun continued to support Zhang Juzheng's proposal of making the country rich and its military strong.
When will the Ming Dynasty be so generous that Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops will be treated the same as the Ming Dynasty's capital camp, then he will be truly rich. Now, where can I go, continue to gather profits, and continue to Reinforcing the military and strengthening the army, and continuing to expand territory and territory, are the main theme and keynote of the new law.
“Officials of the Municipal Shipping Department have reported that recently many maritime merchants have tried to evade sea tax. The imperial ban does not work, and private traders are fearless. The private market in the southeast often sells pepper, spices, and oil. They often violate the law and are willing to die, and they are forbidden repeatedly. "Zhang Juzheng talked about the first thing in a rich country, collecting taxes and sea tax.
"I remember that our sea tax in the Ming Dynasty was divided into 6 points out of 100. Is this a harsh tax?" Zhu Yijun frowned. Zhu Yijun had seen the memorial of the official of the Municipal Shipping Department. The tax rate in the Ming Dynasty was read by the bandit leader of the West. They all call the tax rate of the great philanthropist!
The tariff is only 6%. In this era, it is like a breath of fresh air in the mudslide.
"Of course it's not a harsh tax." Wang Guoguang said with great conviction.
“Take Yuegang as an example. The royal officials in the palace, the local inspectors, the inspection censors, and the coastal defense officers in the city’s rates office can be said to be three parties of civil and military officials who suppress and supervise each other. Excessive additional tax increase." Zhang Xueyan added a detail, that is, the Ming Dynasty's management of the Municipal Shipping Department was very strict, and the three parties of civil and military officials were used to restrain and supervise each other.
So there is no reason to say that the officials of the Shipping Department were too harsh. At least in the early years of Wanli, there was no official 6% tax, but the actual tax was 60%.
"Them! Why! Not paying taxes!!" Zhu Yijun heard this and slapped the table.
The body temperature has returned to normal. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
