Domineering Daming

But he had a general idea in mind, and Sun Chuanting did not continue to embarrass Zhang Bingwen, saying: "As for the specific reform measures in taxation, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the State Administration of Taxation need to discuss again, and the cabinet needs detailed rules! Also, you can also communicate with the Royal Bank. Everything must be included in the scope of the Great Ming Law, clearly and clearly..."

Does this require the Royal Bank to also pay taxes?

Zhang Bingwen looked deeply at Sun Chuanting and said, "Yes, I understand."

Sun Chuanting explained for a while, then left the household department, turned around and went to the Royal Bank.

After the Royal Bank changed its name, it became more and more unattainable. Not to mention the guards guarding it, the access control was strict, and the layout here was also unique. It was like a small fortress, which could only be seen from a distance but not close.

Even Sun Chuanting went through multiple inspections. Accompanied by Fu Tao, he visited the Royal Bank and even entered the bank vault to see the gold and silver inside.

After all, Sun Chuanting was the chief assistant, so he didn't show much surprise. After he came out, he smiled and said, "It's the first time I know that the Royal Bank already has so much wealth."

Compared with Zhang Bingwen, Sun Chuanting is much more polite to Fu Tao, not only because Fu Tao is the son of Fu Changzong, but also because of the special relationship between Fu Tao and Zhu Xu. In other words, the Royal Bank is not owned by Fu Tao, but by Zhu Xu. vivid!

Fu Tao served tea to Sun Chuanting, and said calmly and vigilantly: "These are guarantee silver. Legally speaking, they are not from my Royal Bank, but from those depositors."

How could Sun Chuanting be deceived by such official words, took the tea, and said: "I just came out of the household department, and Zhang Shangshu said that if I want money, I have to find Mr. Fu."

Fu Tao smiled at this, sat down and said: "I'm afraid Zhang Shangshu is making fun of me. If ordinary people come, the lower officials may have them. If the chief assistant comes, I'm afraid the lower officials won't be able to get them."

Sun Chuanting laughed, pointed at him, and said, "I believe what other people say, but I don't believe what you say. I don't go around in circles. In the next three years, I need at least 5000 million silver. Can you find a way to raise it?" ?”

Fu Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then thought about it.

For three years, 5000 million, or 8000 million per year, is really not a big deal for Royal Bank.Even if the profit is insufficient, the loan amount is transferred, and if it fails, the banknote machine is activated.

The crux of the problem is that Fu Tao doesn't know whether to open this hole. If the cabinet needs money in the future and asks the Royal Bank, how can it be done?

The Royal Bank controls the money printing machine, if it prints without limit, the world will be in chaos!

Fu Tao thought for a long time, and said: "According to the survey of the Royal Bank, private Tibetan silver is still more than one hundred million yuan, and the current replacement plan is less than one-fifth. At present, the new currency is generally accepted, and the old currency is only in some villages and remote areas. It will take time for the county government to use it... Three years, 5000 million, it will be difficult to rely solely on the Royal Bank. The lower officials can borrow from the Royal Commercial Group and branch banks in various places, so it should not be a problem."

"Borrowing", that is, guaranteed by the treasury, needs to be repaid.

Regarding these, Sun Chuanting didn't care, and was very satisfied with Fu Tao's attitude. He didn't push back and forth like other officials, but offered a solution.

Sun Chuanting praised with a smile, and said: "The outside world says that Mr. Fu is the God of Wealth, I think this is not false at all!"

Fu Tao smiled wryly, and said: "The lower officials are just talking big now, whether they can borrow it or not, it's a matter of repayment."

Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said: "Don't give me a sloppy eye, and I will leave this matter to you. By the way, did the emperor say, when will you return to Beijing?"

Fu Tao immediately regretted it. He was worried about Sun Chuanting's urging and changed the "loan". Now it seems that he can lower the price.

In any case, it can be regarded as establishing that the cabinet cannot casually interfere with the Royal Bank and start printing money machines. Fu Tao felt much relieved. Maybe I want to go to Guangdong for a while, and I probably won’t be returning to Beijing this year.”

Sun Chuanting knew that if the state affairs were not involved, Qianqing Palace might even want to go to sea, go to Taiwan and Malacca for a while.

Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment, and said, "The year-end review meeting will be held in the parliament the day after tomorrow. You must be present, and you cannot ask for leave."

Fu Tao said: "Your official understands."

Sun Chuanting inquired about the situation of the Royal Bank for a while before leaving.

Sun Chuanting's every move has attracted much attention. Naturally, countless people have been suspicious of the two places he went to.

But after all, no one stopped Sun Chuanting, and the year-end report was drafted according to his intention.

There are three main aspects, one is the reform of official administration, the second is business planning, and the third is land policy.

Each one is not easy, and it is a challenge to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty or the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

In this way, the central court publicly declared that it vowed to carry out the reform to the end, even if there was no strength to resist, there would still be resistance from all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.

On the last day, the parliament voted, without any surprises, 100% passed.

The cabinet and others made a little preparation, and then took the annual leave and morning vacation.

No matter how turbulent the court is, what will happen next year, for every household, a happy new year is more important than anything else.

The lively atmosphere in the capital gradually rose, and the Lantern Festival was approaching. The lively atmosphere spread from the capital to every corner of Daming.

Royal Palace.

The four noble concubines, with their princes and daughters, paid homage to the queen and the prince, and then a group of people went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to celebrate the New Year.

Although Zhu Xu didn't return to Beijing, he was inevitably a little disappointed, but the group of women and children saved more restraints, and they had a relaxed and happy year.

Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, the children are still a little ignorant, but the adults are clear in their hearts.

Hailanzhu and Bumbutai have no extravagant hopes, and Xingzi has no children, let alone think too much about it.Li Jieyu, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Their mother and son would no longer be put on fire, and they were relieved.

The imperial palace is happy, and the outer court is naturally even more so.

The difficulties, obstacles, and worries placed before the highest level have been swept away, and the development of the "New Deal" can be promoted wholeheartedly.

Next year, it will be Sun Chuanting who will fully grasp power, further infiltrate the localities, and attack the most fundamental, most fundamental, and most powerful stubborn forces in Ming Dynasty.

Next year is bound to be a busy year.

Chapter 1434 Zhu Xu goes to sea

No matter how lively the capital city was, Zhu Xu was not idle in Shenlong Mansion.

He visited the sacred cathedral in Shenlong Mansion, and received the archbishop and many cardinals and other clergy in the cathedral.

There are still disputes between the Ming Dynasty and the Holy See. The Holy See originally strongly opposed the cathedral in the Ming Dynasty and the private appointment of the archbishop, but under the pressure of Spain, it did not recognize or deny it. The attitude is obviously to leave a hole for the future.

The archbishop's name is Chen Zhiyong, a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, and a devout Christian. Behind him are 30 cardinals, plus appointed bishops from all over the world, a total of more than [-] people.

This time, a discussion was adopted, and Zhu Xu was in the center, talking with these believers.

"Religion is beyond the mundane world, but it cannot be separated from the mundane world. Therefore, after all, it has a foothold and identity. That is, I am a Ming person, a Chinese..."

"Then, patriotism should be part of the innate teachings, and we should not use the banner of 'God loves the world' or 'religion without borders' to endanger the country and harm the people. Religion may have no borders, but believers have origins and countries , there should be a bottom line..."

"Right now, the Holy See in Europe is splitting, and disputes over doctrinal doctrines are turning into wars. We shouldn't and can't. Regarding doctrinal doctrines, we must synthesize them, be practical, look at them objectively, understand them, and promote continuous development. It has new content that is in line with the times, unites the congregation, benefits the congregation, and cannot follow the old European path..."

Zhu Xu laughed at Yan Yan, chatted with these people, and shared some of his thoughts.

Chen Zhiyong and others were wearing light red long cannons, which were very different from European ones. It was a combination of Chinese and Western styles. They bowed slightly and listened carefully.

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, Chen Zhiyong said, "Your Majesty is right. The believers are also brave people who don't eat or drink. If you get something, you have to pay for it. God won't just ask for it. The church should know patriotism. , to make due contributions to the country, the people, and the congregation..."

Amakusa Shiro has been here for a long time, and he plans to return to Kyushu Island next year to become the bishop of Suihai Province, to preach the teachings and spread the gospel of God.

He listened to Zhu Xu's words, he agreed very much, and kept nodding.
