"Burned?"

Zhu Houzhao scoffed: "It's not burned, it's just hidden." "

"This Liu Daxia, he enjoys his own name, and he has left such a big inheritance to his descendants."

"It's really clever."

Even the most unsightly.

I can also hear the unhappiness and ridicule in Zhu Houzhao's heart.

And the faces of Xie Qian and others.

It's also changing again and again.

"Liu Daxia, Liu Junzi...."

Xie Qian only felt a little sick

In the previous dynasty, he also worked with Liu Daxia.

At that time, it felt that this person was extremely pedantic.

But although pedantic, it still looks very incorruptible.

Therefore, he did not have much ill feelings towards Liu Daxia.

But now it seems.

"Really, disgusting!"

A look of disgust flashed in Xie Qian's eyes.

Just call yourself a gentleman?

What a capricious villain!

"Your Majesty, if I retrieve Zheng He's treasure map, doesn't that mean that my Daming can restart the Western Ocean Route?!"

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he was really excited in his heart.

He didn't know much about Liu Daxia, but he understood the importance of Zheng Hebaotu!

Among them, the production technology of treasure ships, the records of wind direction and currents on Western shipping routes, and the records of customs and resources in various parts of the Western Ocean.

Almost speak.

This is called Zheng He treasure map.

It contains the efforts of Yongle dynasty, Zheng He and other seafaring followers for a lifetime!

Once recovered.

This means that the official of Daming will directly have absolute hegemony on the ocean!

No one can resist!

"Now, you should know why Xu opened the sea ban, right?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled.

The four of them also nodded one after another, full of admiration.

"However, the opening of the sea ban still needs to be made by four people, the most important of which is that the merchants who are allowed to trade at sea need to collect a few percent of the tax."

Xie Qian thought for a moment.

Just when I want to give an opinion.

But suddenly saw Zhu Houzhao with a shallow smile on his face.

"It seems that His Majesty has decided on this matter."

He suddenly came to his senses.

Zhu Houzhao's face remained unchanged: "I have already decided that this customs tax will be set in stages as five taxes and one to ten taxes and seven!" "

"Five taxes one, to ten taxes seven?"

Xie Qian's face suddenly changed.

Whether it's five taxes one, or ten taxes seven.

Such a terrifying heavy tax is almost unprecedented in this dynasty!

He was already unimaginable.

Once the news of this customs tariff is sent, how much criticism will there be from the government and the public?

However, Zhang Xuan stood up.

"Your Majesty, this tax rate is still lower, if the minister is concerned, since my Daming can already restore the Zheng He treasure ship, then why should I give the profits to those merchants?"

"It's better to simply collect all of them according to the five taxes and four taxes, and let those merchants retreat in the face of difficulties."

"Let the money go into the treasury."

Zhang Xuan was really speechless!

Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing behind him were pondering how to persuade Zhu Houzhao to reduce the customs duties.

As a result, Zhang Xuan suddenly came to such a sentence.

Directly blindfolded both of them.

Not to mention the two of them, even Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment.

"Well, you are Zhang Xuan, more ruthless than Xuan."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh: "But it is not necessary to unify the five taxes and four, just according to the revenue, from five taxes one to five taxes four." "

If you come out alone to raise the business tax, then you will definitely be attacked by the masses.

But unexpectedly, this Zhang Xuan was willing to stand with him.

Naturally, it surprised him.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Xie Qian still wanted to speak.

However, it was directly interrupted by Gu Dayong.

"Your Majesty's mind has been decided, so Elder Xie will not say any more."

As the palm seal eunuch of Si Lijian.

Gu Dayong was still very clear about Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

"Your Majesty."

He respectfully taught the note with the red seal to Zhu Houzhao's hand.

The above is exactly what they talked about.

Stamp with a red seal.

This means that this matter is completely settled.

"Good."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and put the note aside.

"This first thing is over, so let's talk about the second thing."

The four members of the cabinet immediately held their breath.

The first thing is to make them so terrifying.

I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor is going to say about the next two things?

"The second thing is to raise the commercial tax."

Zhu Houzhao said slowly: "Now the commercial tax within Daming is too low, only thirty taxes and one, Xu decided to reset the commercial tax system, according to the income ratio, the lowest income traders can maintain thirty taxes and one, but for large traders, the maximum commercial tax is raised to three taxes and two!" "

Up to three taxes and two....

Hearing this ratio, Xie Qian almost didn't catch his breath again.

He felt like he was old enough.

But when I came to the leopard room today, I suddenly became younger.

Because he felt that he was scared into his grandson by His Majesty's words.

"Your Majesty, such a heavy tax, I am afraid that the world will mutiny."

Xie Qian's voice trembled a little.

The customs tariff in front is also counted.

After all, the sea ban has just been opened, and most of the merchants have not yet obtained trade qualifications, and there are not too many conflicts of interest inside.

But now.

What His Majesty wants to collect is the commercial tax in the Daming!

And one levy.

It is to directly raise the tax rate to such a terrifying point!

How much is at stake?

Once touched, it is likely to directly anger the entire gentry class.

The consequences of this.

Even just thinking about it can make him tremble!

"Xie Qing's family rest assured, Xu has no intention of cutting himself off from the world."

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "So Xuan, another road has been prepared for them." "

"What, what?"

Xie Qian felt that he couldn't stand the stimulation.

"Public-private partnership."

Zhu Houzhao said faintly: "If those big businessmen are willing to confiscate their business and turn it into an official businessman, then naturally they can collect less taxes." "

Whether it is customs duties or commercial taxes, this is all white money!

For the emperor ranking three months later.

Now Zhu Houzhao can be said to have been a complete showdown!

Anyway, when the time comes.

Might as well do it all in one go!

"This, this..."

Xie Qian really thought that His Majesty was going to make some other compromises just now.

But I didn't expect that it was actually my own business confiscated?

Finished!

I'm going to be done!

He felt that the emperor had gone crazy.

This is no longer collecting taxes.

This is a clear robbery!!

Xie Qian only felt that there were no other thoughts in his mind.

He wanted to take a step forward.

But suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his eyes were dark

The body actually fell directly.

"Xie Lao, Xie Lao, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xuan behind him was shocked and quickly helped the old man.

"This is..... Frightened? "

Looking at Xie Qian, who fell to the ground, Zhu Houzhao was also a little unexpected.

This old man is also a widow of the previous dynasty.

Is the psychological quality so poor?
