Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Zhu Youjian finally had a deeper understanding of the mess on his hands.

He always thought that the Ming Dynasty had no money and was very poor.

In the end, after a long time, it was only he, the emperor, and the farmers who were poor.

This was a big blow to him.

Fortunately, thanks to Taizu's methods, the royal family's pockets are constantly expanding.

The situation of lack of money will not happen again in at least a short time.

Another ten days passed.

The first batch of silver has arrived and is beginning to gather towards the warehouse in the palace.

In order to raise money as quickly as possible, these salt merchants mobilized caravans from all over the country like crazy.

The first thing to be put in place is the 500 million fine.

In the past few days, Zhu Youjian had been wandering around the warehouse several times when he had nothing to do, and the smile on his lips never stopped.

These salt merchants are really wealthy.

It can be seen that not only are they rich, but they are also big cash users.

However, Zhu Youjian's good mood was completely destroyed the day after the money was received.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have become rich."

"congratulations."

In the court hall, Zhu Youjian had just sat down when he saw Guo Yunhou walking out.

An old face turned into chrysanthemums with a smile.

The words that came out of his mouth made Zhu Youjian even more irritable.

"How much money do you make..."

"It's just a small fine."

"What's wrong with Guo Aiqing?"

A little bit?

Guo Yunhou raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty is joking."

"I watched the cartloads of money enter His Majesty's small warehouse."

"And I also heard that the sale of this salt has a guaranteed income of 3000 million taels."

"Your Majesty, you also know that this household is difficult and money is needed everywhere."

"Besides, the salt tax is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Do you think this should be allocated to the household department?"

Guo Yunhou had no intention of being polite today.

With so much money, if he didn't pay some back, he wouldn't be named Guo!

"Tsk..."

"That's wrong. Snowflake salt is a business of the royal family. Whether it's a fine or my qualifications to sell snowflake salt, it's a matter of the royal family."

"If you want to collect taxes, just wait until they make money to collect them."

"I have negotiated a good price for you. All the merchants of Daming Trading Company are taxed according to the ladder, and now these people are almost all unable to escape the [-]% tax."

"Don't be dissatisfied!"

Zhu Youjian stared with an expression that said, "Don't go too far!"

The tax from the commercial bank belongs to the Household Department, and he has no intention of continuing to pay it into the small treasury.

After all, the Ministry of Accounts definitely needs money to maintain operations.

"Your Majesty, you have drained all the money from those salt merchants."

“I’m afraid it’s still too early for them to get their funds back.”

"Let's do this. Counting the previous 4000 million taels of silver, I will borrow another 6000 million to make up the whole sum!"

Business tax?

How long will it take?

The money goes into your pocket, but all the expenses of the major armies go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Xu Guangqi has made another order worth tens of millions!

Can you ask me to sell my blood to raise money for him?

"Is this still possible?"

"I said you are becoming more and more shameless now."

"You don't have to worry about too many lice, right?"

Listening to Guo Yunhou's nonsense without a red face and a heartbeat.

Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and was really angry.

You opened your mouth for 6000 million, do you think it was brought by the strong wind?

All this money must be used for the people.

"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Household Affairs."

"It's my job to ask for money."

"Then how about His Majesty share some of the bank's profits with the Accounts Department, and this Qian Chen will not want it anymore."

Guo Yunhou remained unmoved.

I thought about it and made a suggestion.

"roll!"

"I'm warning you, no one can interfere in the bank's affairs."

"That's all the money of the people of the Ming Dynasty. They trusted me and put the money in."

"If anyone dares to mess around and bring down the bank, I will punish all ten of your tribes!"

boom!

Zhu Youjian slammed the table and said in a serious tone!

You can use my small treasury idea.

But don't touch the bank!

Otherwise, come and chop one down!

"His Majesty..."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs really has no money, so let Xu Guangqi stop work."

"This can easily cost tens of millions of dollars. Who can bear it?"

Seeing Zhu Youjian getting angry, Guo Yunhou shrank his neck and did not dare to mention the bank again.

He didn't expect Zhu Youjian to agree.

Just want to bargain.

"Go, go, go...I'll lend you another 4000 million."

"Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"Get out of here!"

Seeing that Guo Yunhou was determined to ask for money.

Zhu Youjian twitched his nose, held it in for a long time, and then said angrily!

Another 4000 million...

Forget it, he was already prepared to give this money.

I just don’t want Guo Yunhou to think that it’s easy to get money from him.

But it still hurts really!

"The emperor's words are true! Everyone has heard it!"

"Official, get out of here!"

"Then, let's go and get some money."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian finally compromised and took out 4000 million, Guo Yunhou immediately agreed with a smile.

Just go away.

Just get the money.

"stop!"

"Wait and get out."

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Seeing that Guo Yunhou really wanted to get out, Zhu Youjian quickly stopped him.

"I just said that the merchant tax of this firm belongs to the Household Department."

"In this case, the markets in Datong, Pidao, Tianjin and Yunnan will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for integration."

“Remember, except for these four places, no items are allowed to be smuggled out of the customs.”

“All merchants’ goods entering and exiting customs must be inspected clearly.”

"At the same time, tax collection is also settled on a single basis, and the tax is collected based on how much is sold."

“You can’t charge more and you can’t charge less.”

"Jinyiwei and Dongchang will supervise the whole process."

"If I detect corruption, then this business tax will have nothing to do with your household department from now on."

"Understand?"

Zhu Youjian quickly informed Guo Yunhou of Taizu's arrangements for the market.

The markets in these four regions are extremely important, and handing them over to the Ministry of Household Affairs will also be a test for Guo Yunhou.

If it doesn't work out, then don't cry about poverty with me in the future.

"Your Majesty, this would require a lot of manpower, and even more people would be needed to suppress the formation."

"Your Majesty, please give me a certain authority to mobilize troops, but not too much."

"3000 people are enough for one market."

"They are responsible for checking."

Guo Yunhou, who was about to get out, heard what Zhu Youjian said.

He lowered his head and thought about it before making the request.

He is not a fool, and he can naturally see that His Majesty is testing the ability of the household department.

If it doesn't work well, I'm afraid there will be no need for the Ministry of Accounts to exist in the future.

"Soldiers?"

"What a coincidence, I really plan to give the Ministry of Revenue [-] recruitment quotas."

"Your Ministry of Revenue will take the lead in establishing the [Royal Taxation Bureau]."

"This source of soldiers will be recruited and raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs alone, and then dispersed to various places."

"You can purchase any military items from the Ministry of Industry. As long as they do not pay taxes or evade taxes, you have the right to arrest and interrogate them."

"But you don't have the right to judge. It needs to be handed over to the local government."

"At the same time, you must also accept the supervision of Jin Yiwei."

"So is there any problem?"

What?

Guo Yunhou stared, thinking he heard wrong?

This...

Your Majesty is actually willing to allow the Ministry of Household Affairs to have private soldiers!

Although it is only a mere 2 people, it is nothing if they are scattered all over the place.

But this is a good thing for Guo Yunhou.

He knew very well that His Majesty would eventually extend the tax system of the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bank to the entire Ming Dynasty.

These [-] thugs are prepared for subsequent tax collection in various places.

That's a lot of money!

If this matter is led and completed by the Ministry of Revenue, then his position in Lingyan Pavilion will definitely be stable!

But if it doesn't work well...

There are only 2 people, and His Majesty can disband them at any time.

"I will never disgrace my mission!"

"The commercial taxes will be collected completely and completely!"
