Domineering Daming

Now it is 300 taels, which is not a small number no matter how you look at it.

Zhao Sanjing knew that it was troublesome, the government was serious this time, the Bureau of Commerce, the Taxation Bureau, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Price Bureau, etc. all acted together, clearly intending to kill them!

Their master's family has a big business, and such "fine money" will definitely not be less. Who can be willing to pay so much for nothing?

Zhao Sanjing thought for a while and said, "Third young master, does the master know?"

The third young master sat on the chair, frowned, and said: "Understood, my eldest brother is walking around in the prefect's yamen, but the prefect's yamen said that they can't control these departments, which is the meaning of the higher-ups."

The Bureau of Commerce, the Price Bureau, the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the Taxation Bureau are basically the imperial court, with dual local management. In addition to the needs of the "New Deal", local governments dare not intervene, so in fact the imperial court is still vertically in charge.

Zhao Sanjing listened, his mind was spinning, and he said again: "Then can you get rid of the relationship between the superiors, not to mention the fine, the annual tax is nearly [-]%, it is not a small number, let's talk about it, other adults and lords will definitely not happy."

In the past, there was no commercial tax in Ming Dynasty, or a little symbolic payment, but the current policy is that it is 19.00% of the profit.

This is a lot of money, who doesn't feel bad, who is willing to give it?

The third young master naturally didn't want to give it away. Hearing what Zhao Sanjing said, he frowned even tighter, and said: "The rumors are too tight now, and the imperial court is very oppressive. No one dares to speak in these new yamen. Plunge in, deal with it first, and see the direction of the wind."

Zhao Sanjing listened and could only nod his head.Now that the imperial court has undergone major changes, all kinds of reform slogans are shouting loudly, no matter whether it is an official or a large private household, they dare not touch the bad luck, and can only lament that the world has really changed.

In an instant, Zhao Sanjing restrained himself, and said solemnly: "Then, what about our business? Is it going to continue to expand? The capital asked us to build at least ten factories."

The third young master had a headache even more when he heard it. He drank a sip of tea and remained silent.

The statement from the capital city is that it is guaranteed to make a lot of money, and the fertilizer factory will also make money slowly in the future, not all at once.

It stands to reason that this is a good deal, but the imperial court has not yet started purchasing. Not only do they have to invest a lot of money to buy land, build factories, labor, materials, but now they have to pay taxes. Every day is silver, How dare you continue to expand?

Knowing the risks involved, Zhao Sanjing stepped forward hesitantly, and said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, is the capital city reliable? We can't be someone else's ladder to pass through the wall."

The third young master looked up at him with a hesitant expression, but in fact, he didn't know.They only knew that some big figures in the capital were manipulating it, but they didn't know exactly who it was and how confident they were.

After Zhao Sanjing ordered, he didn't say any more, and instead said: "Tomorrow, the younger one will go to each yamen to settle the matter, and the third young master has to find a way to manage it. If you can spend less, you still have to spend less."

The third young master stood up and said, "Well, I'll go and inquire about the news first, and find a way out."

With that said, the two split up.

This kind of thing happened almost in the entire Ming Dynasty.The top-down pressure of the cabinet has penetrated into every corner of Daming through the departments that can be controlled.

If there is pressure, there will naturally be a rebound. If there is no pressure, it will flow upwards and flow upstream to the court.

Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, received a number of memoirs or private letters from local officials at all levels, both inside and outside the words are "worries" about the recent actions of the State Administration of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Department of Criminal Prisons, and the Price Bureau.

They believe that the behavior of these yamen is arrogant, without law and restraint, and has no regard for the dignity of the court-"Willlessly plundering merchants is almost like extortion", "Coercion and temptation, what is decent?", "Officials at all levels are rebellious and disregard Wang Fa, disrespecting superiors, chasing copper stink, where is it going to the people?"...

He Jingqiu, the minister of the household department, came in and said with a smile: "My lord, it seems that the actions of the cabinet have worked."

Zhang Bingwen put these memorials and private messages aside, thought for a moment, and said, "Master Li is in full swing, and we can't stop. How is the measurement team doing?"

Most of the "official land" controlled by the Ming court is in the hands of the Ministry of Accounting. Even if it is acquired by the Royal Commercial Group, it is nominally transferred to the Qingtian Special Team, but most of the functions are still undertaken by the Ministry of Accounting.

He Jingqiu said solemnly: "It's ready, 300 people, ten surveying teams, can set off at any time."

Chapter 1496 The tip of the iceberg

Zhang Bingwen listened, and said: "Okay, we can move after the Xinzhi County on the cabinet side is in place."

Liaodong is a rather special place, a piece of virgin land, which has been well planned from the very beginning.

The distribution of land in Liaodong started with those victims who had been in Liaodong for many years. Only the land reclaimed by some troops or various courts would be distributed to the victims in the pass.

Therefore, the court does not need to worry about this part. What Li Banghua wants to divide is the three provinces of Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shandong.There are food fields used by the princes, fields confiscated by anti-corruption, fields purchased by the Royal Commercial Group, etc. The amount is nearly [-] hectares, enough to be divided for a long time.

He Jingqiu took over, and then said: "Master Li feels that there is not enough manpower, and I hope the Ministry of Households will increase the surveying team."

Zhang Bingwen frowned slightly when he heard this. The Ministry of Household Affairs not only had to measure the acres of fields, but also verified the victims of disasters in various places.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Bingwen said, "I'll go to the cabinet and find a way to increase the manpower. By the way, you can go to the Ministry of Industry and see if you can borrow some manpower."

But He Jingqiu shook his head and said: "I heard that Fang Shangshu is also very short of people. He has borrowed people from the Royal Political Council two or three times. Vice President Song complained twice. I am afraid that the Ministry of Industry is in some difficulties."

Zhang Bingwen was stunned, and then said: "Since the Royal Political Academy can't borrow people, what about the universities? I heard that there are more than 3000 students in Jingshi University. Can you borrow some?"

Zhang Bingwen's words made He Jingqiu unable to answer for a while, before he said: "My lord, the universities are different from the Political Academy. The students of these universities have not passed the imperial examination and have no fame. If they borrow it, it may be inappropriate, right?"

Zhang Bingwen shook his head after thinking about it for a while, and said: "There is nothing inappropriate, the key is whether you have the ability. In this way, I will personally write letters to the universities and ask them to recommend students with outstanding abilities. Fame, priority for recruitment."

When He Jingqiu heard this, he began to think seriously.

The Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty has been established for many years. Although the school has only been restructured for more than a year, the accumulated students are indeed very considerable.

Not to mention those who have already graduated, there are almost thousands of students in universities in every province, so the total number may exceed 10. If you borrow people from all universities, you will not have to worry about no one.

He Jingqiu changed his mind, and suddenly said: "My lord, it is a good idea. Now the court is seriously short of talents. If we can keep talents in the household department, then we will have the upper hand."

Zhang Bingwen waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these things for now. I'll write a letter later. You can go see Li Shilang and communicate with him. We must cooperate closely and the news must flow smoothly so that no mistakes can be made."

He Jingqiu said: "Yes, I will go right away."

Zhang Bingwen watched him leave, holding a document in his hand, which was issued by the staff, and it was an overall assessment of this year's summer grain.

The staff department combined the data from various places and the monitoring of various places, and wrote a cabinet news.

Zhang Bingwen watched carefully with a stern expression.

This cabinet news estimated the situation of summer grain and even autumn grain, and pointed out that tax and grain would be further reduced, the severity of the disaster would be deepened, and the imperial court was facing a very severe situation of disaster relief and disaster relief.

After a while, he heard the noise outside, and he was disturbed for a while.

Zhang Bingwen looked up, then continued to look down.

Now the imperial court, the cabinet, and the five ministries are rapidly expanding, with great powers and responsibilities, too many things, and a rapid increase in manpower. The side effect is that there will be bursts of chaos in the short term, even in the household department.

Before getting off work, some big and small officials from the Fifth Ministry and other departments left the department one after another, going to taverns, tearooms, folk art pavilions and so on.

In a theater, on the main stage on the second floor, a table of four people is watching a play.

"Good good good! Reward!" A very young man in his early twenties in Chinese clothes applauded vigorously and shouted loudly.

The people next to him also shouted, and the flower baskets were delivered one by one.

The actors on stage thanked each other and stepped down gracefully.

Such a young man turned his head and said excitedly: "I heard that the current emperor also likes opera ditties. I didn't understand it before, but now I realize that there is a special charm in it. It is long and far-reaching, and I will never tire of listening to it. "

A middle-aged man on his left seemed to have profound official prestige, without anger, he agreed with a smile: "That is, His Majesty today is wise and powerful, with a broad mind, and there are few people who have been able to match it in ancient times."
