Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Just block the road and set up a card to collect money!

In addition to flies flying in the sky and ants crawling on the ground, no matter what they do, even if they carry water, they will still leave behind a copper plate!

As for goods, there is a heavy tax of more than one-tenth!

Readers who live in rural areas will know about the "market".

Between three or five villages, there is a spontaneous trading place, that is, a market.

This market is where the tax card was located back then!

For those who live in rural areas, let me tell you how dense this "market" location is!

By the way, due to the development of modern transportation, more than two-thirds of these existing "markets" have disappeared!

That's it, it's dotted all over the place!

……

Studying history and paying attention to fairness and impartiality that puts aside emotions is the moral model that a true study person should have.

So, was the tax system of the Qing Dynasty good?

Of course there is!

I’m not here to tell the truth, I only look for what’s useful to me…

To be fair, there is one aspect of the taxation system of the Qing Dynasty that was not available in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also advanced - Huohuo was returned to the public!

This thing is very good!

The Qing Dynasty implemented a whip law in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty. What was levied was not a tax in kind, but money!

Where can ordinary people find large pieces of silver in their homes?

Besides, even if you find it, it’s not official silver!

Hiding official money privately is illegal!

When people pay taxes with broken silver foam, or use non-official silver ingots to pay taxes - local officials will use the "fire consumption" of re-casting as an excuse to make the people pay more taxes.

Yongzheng explicitly stipulated that in the future, except for the deduction due to the purity of the silver, all these fire expenses would belong to the public, and the people would no longer be allowed to pay more "fire consumption" silver.

This is the advancement of the Qing Dynasty’s tax system!

One thing to say, this is the attitude that historical people should have!

……

In a luxurious private garden, Fang Zhenghua was half-lying on the Taishi chair.

Beside him were numerous guards in black, and their waists were all bulging.

Obviously, this is a handgun made by Erbi.

"Five million taels of silver?"

Fang Zhenghua's lips curved into a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, that's really a big deal!"

“I think back then, the emperor begged for so much, but these beasts didn’t get a dime.

Unexpectedly, in the face of a letter from the Tatars, millions of dollars were collected!

Tut tut! "

Chu Xianzhang sat aside:

"Fang Du, what do you mean?"

"Bring them here?"

Fang Zhenghua didn't answer and looked at Zhang Guoyuan:

"Mr. Zhang, after I leave, you will be responsible for Jiangnan's affairs. Please tell me!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Guoyuan agreed, organized his thoughts and said:

“According to the rules set by Governor Fang, I have not left my men idle in the past few months.

Although I have not done anything to take away the property of wealthy gentry wantonly, in these days, I have controlled more than 1000 shops.

The shopkeepers of these shops were either instigated by me or controlled by me...

In addition, our cronies have been placed around them.

As long as Governor Fang gives the order and dare not say anything else, it can be done to cause chaos in the Jiangnan market! "

"correct!"

Zhang Guoyuan handed over a list:

"The food for the Fu Dynasty's army was controlled by these gentry. This is their background information.

Under the control of court officials, the food for the Jiangnan army was purchased from these large grain merchants.

And their price is one tael of silver and one stone! "

"whispering sound!"

Fang Zhenghua sneered.

In a grain-producing area like Jiangnan, for bulk purchases like the army's, the price of grain can be as high as one tael of silver!

Sure enough - all righteous people are just moths!

You know, the grain that the emperor bought from Huang Degong, Zheng Hongkui, and Zuo Liangyu was only seven yuan!

Zhang Guoyuan continued:

"Moreover, I have found out clearly that these grains were transported into the military camp in pieces. However, the imperial court first provided the money for large quantities of grain, but the grain merchants provided the grain in batches. Each time the grain was transported, it was only enough for the camp. Amount for half a month.

Moreover, the general needs to give benefits before food will be allocated...

By going back and forth, I could earn two more coins. "

“If the generals don’t give this money, the grain merchants will be stuck in various ways.

Faced with such a predicament, in addition to raising their own food and money, generals from various places usually falsely report their military quotas..."

Fang Zhenghua has already read the list.

He pointed to a line of officials circled in red pen with their positions marked, and said:

"What's wrong with these people?"

Zhang Guoyuan smiled and said:

"Director Fang, our actions can be hidden from Prince Fu, but we cannot hide our actions from the monkey spirits.

These people are all chess pieces sent by the officials of the Fu Dynasty Hall to test us.

They want to leave a road on our side! "

Fang Zhenghua glanced at Zhang Guoyuan:

"So, you promised them?"

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Guoyuan laughed strangely:

"Director Fang, this is what I promised them.

Governor Fang did not agree, and neither did the emperor.

The younger one said that he would not kill them and would preserve their glory and wealth appropriately.

However, when the time came, the little one made a mistake and was sent to another place...

How to distribute them all depends on Governor Fang's mood, right? "

Zhang Guoyuan smiled brightly.

Fang Zhenghua laughed.

This old boy...

He put the list into an envelope and prepared to send it to Xindu.

After collecting the list, Fang Zhenghua said coldly:

“His Majesty’s decision is to empty out part of the cash of the Jiangnan gentry, so that insufficient food and salary will become a constraint on the Fu Dynasty.

Moreover, taking the opportunity to dig out the money from the wealthy gentry and transport it back to the new capital is what we should do.

On the Jiangnan side, His Majesty does not have many troops to invest.

We are the most important part, so don’t be careless! "

Chu Xianzhang and Zhang Guoyuan hurriedly responded.

Fang Zhenghua continued:

"We can mobilize Zheng Sen, and let Zuo Liangyu threaten Jiangxi or even enter Jiangxi.

However, our main battlefield is business war, for money.

As long as Jiangnan doesn't jump over the wall, we will dig out their roots!

Do you understand? "

Fang Zhenghua's eyes became sharp:

"The emperor tried his best to avoid fighting on two fronts and used the main force on the battlefield in Shanxi.

I have issued a military order to the Emperor!

If it cannot be completed, I will have no face to see His Majesty.

However, I will say ugly words first. If anyone holds me back and embarrasses me, I will let him lose his life!

Remember it all! "

"Don't worry, Governor Fang, we all understand!"

Chu Xianzhang and Zhang Guoyuan stood up quickly and responded seriously.

Fang Zhenghua squinted his eyes:

"Tell me, the day after tomorrow is when we launch.

Tonight, the news that needs to be spread makes everyone move, reveal what needs to be revealed, and spread what needs to be spread!

I have only one request - tomorrow morning, this news will spread from Nanjing to the outside world.

The emperor's move to defeat Jiangnan's wealthy merchants must be put on their desk! "
