Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Repeal Prohibition?

Hubu Shangshu frowned in thought.

Could it be that you want to imitate the mining license and also get a wine brewing license?

Illegal private mining is popular, and there are many historical reasons for it. The result was a flood of privately minted coins, and the court lost a lot of tax revenue.

In order to crack down on private minting of coins, Gu Jiu advised the Shaofu to bring all private mines under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, uniformly apply for mining licenses, and turn illegal private mines into legal private mines.

If a private mine refuses to apply for a mining license, it will be regarded as an illegal private mine. The government and local guards can close the mine according to law, fine them, and apply for a new mining license.

For fines, the local government will keep 50%, and the Shaofu will collect 50%.

If you refuse to pay the fine, the private mine will be confiscated and become a property of the Shaofu.

After a series of punches, there are fewer and fewer private illegal mines, and at least 80% of the mining industry in the world has a record with the government.

With the filing, there is taxation.

Mining tax is also a lot of money.

It is a way to revoke the prohibition order, follow the example of the mining license, and apply for a wine brewing license.

Your Excellency, do you really want to revoke the prohibition? There is a war going on in the north, and there is a shortage of food. Although the prohibition exists in name only, it is still a law of the court. When necessary, it can restrict private wine making and save food. If the prohibition is revoked, there will be no way to restrict private wine making.

Wrong! Only by revoking the alcohol prohibition order and issuing a wine brewing license can we really curb the trend of private wine brewing among the people and save food. It can also increase the court's tax revenue. It's like a mining license.

Is it necessary to apply for a license to brew some wine for drinking at home? The subordinate asked.

Of course you don't need to apply for a license to brew some wine at home. However, you must apply for a license when you sell it in the market. For example, the major breweries in the capital earn a lot of money, but pay very little tax. This is obviously taking advantage of the court's loopholes. .”

Many wine shops sell wine, which is usually brewed by themselves. The subordinates still think that the issue of revoking the prohibition on alcohol and issuing a wine brewing license needs to be discussed.

Hubu Shangshu nodded, There are many details that need to be carefully considered.

After thinking about it, the Secretary of the Household Department wrote a statement and put it in an envelope.

Leave it to Mrs. Zhao. Please make sure to answer me.

The subordinate took the envelope,

Asked: My lord, why don't you go to see Mrs. Zhao in person?

The Minister of the Household Department shook his head, I'm busy with government affairs, so I won't bother Madam Zhao.

It's clearly an excuse.

I'm afraid that if I go to see Mrs. Zhao, I will be asked about last year's arrears and this year's budget.

Bargaining with Mrs. Chao, the Minister of the Household Department is afraid.

The subordinate took the order to go, and once again went to the First Prince's Mansion to meet Mrs. Zhao.

After reading the note written by the Minister of the Household Department, Gu Jiu smiled, picked up a pen and wrote a number at the bottom of the note, and handed it to the official of the Household Department.

Please tell Master Shangshu, my wife congratulates you on the good news.

...

An agreement was reached with the household department, Gu Jiu sent someone to deliver this year's budget to the Shaofu, and asked the Shaofu to contribute money and food.

The Shaofu's family ordered Huang Concubine to push and do five, and asked Huang Qubing to deal with it. All he has to do is sign it.

Huang Qubing frowned, For such a large quantity, it is best to ask His Majesty for instructions. Otherwise, it may be difficult for His Majesty to ask questions afterwards.

Huang Consort is used to throwing his hands away as the shopkeeper, You write a memorial for Weifu and send it to the palace.

Son obeys.

The Shaofu's memorial can be handed directly to the Xingqing Palace without going to the Zhengshitang.

Chang En placed the Shaofu's memorial in the middle, neither deliberate nor showing signs of deliberate suppression.

Whether you can be seen by His Majesty depends entirely on luck.

There are so many memorials every day, not every one will be personally reviewed by His Majesty.

Emperor Wende was busy until noon, and finally found the memorial of Shaofu.

After reading the contents of the memorial, he frowned, Is the household department out of money?

It's just the beginning of the new year, and the household department has no money. How will you handle the next year? A few months later, the Beijing officials again yelled that the household department owed everyone their salaries.

Reporting to Your Majesty, the war in the north will cost a lot.

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, Over the years, I have moved around and increased so many tax sources, yet the household department still has no money or food.

Chang En said cautiously: Although the household department has no money or food, during the war, the people's taxes did not increase by a penny, and the corvee did not increase. The first person in the ages, the emperor of the ages!

Emperor Wende was very happy.

He had a smile on his face, That's right. In the war in the north, the war that ruined the country, I didn't raise a penny in taxes, and didn't increase the burden of corvee on the people. The people outside the war zone can still live and work in peace and contentment. This is an eternal virtue.

We should let the world know His Majesty's benevolent government and pass it on to future generations.

Chang En's flattery was just right.

Emperor Wende laughed loudly, Hahaha...he called Lu Aiqing to meet him. Lu Aiqing has a literary talent, and this matter must belong to him.

Mr. Zhongshu Ling Lu, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, suddenly had an extra task, convening people and writing articles to praise him. It is necessary to make Emperor Wende into an emperor through the ages.

Of course, it is impossible for Emperor Wende to be thick-skinned and boast that he is an emperor through the ages.

Emperor Wende mentioned a few words very implicitly.

It was mainly Chang En's sycophant who talked the most.

Master Lu understood the essence.

Speaking of it, the household department is very poor, but it has always insisted not to increase the burden on the people, not to increase taxes, not to increase corvee apportionment, which is rare under a thousand years, and it is indeed worthy of praise.

Emperor Wende wanted to create a personal image of an emperor through the ages, and Mr. Lu wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words again.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Emperor Wende was in high spirits and was very enthusiastic about it.

I can't help it.

Even if he is persuaded for a while, Emperor Wende will come up with other moths.

In order to ensure that people all over the world know the benevolent policies of the imperial court and His Majesty, Chang En privately even asked the Press Department to order the major newspapers in the capital to unify their propaganda.

Focus on writing about the relationship between war and people's taxation, comparing with this dynasty, highlighting the advantages of this dynasty, Your Majesty's benevolent government. In order to build an emperor through the ages, lay a solid mass foundation.

Da Zhou Life Show received a notice from the newspaper department, with a look of bewilderment and dumbfounded.

Sanshun was a little at a loss.

This is the first time I have received this kind of political task. I have no experience in how to operate it.

Sanshun finds Cui Qi and asks Cui Qi to make up his mind.

Cui Qi acted as the shopkeeper for a while, and went to Gu Jiu.

When Gu Jiu heard this, she laughed.

Not bad, not bad, did you learn quickly? In just a few years, the imperial court and the palace also knew the importance of unifying the caliber of public opinion, and finally reflected the role of the Press Department.

Back then, Dazhou Life Show fought against Guozijian Daily, Cai Zhongshan and Xu Chengye were invited to uncover the black history of Guozijian, just in time for the imperial examination year, which triggered a lawsuit of saliva in major academies, a dispute between students' regions, and the whole capital was full of turmoil. There were several quarrels moon.

The imperial court saw that the limelight was wrong, and the Ministry of Rites intervened. And took advantage of the opportunity to set up the newspaper department.

However, the newspaper department is not under the management of the Ministry of Rites.

At the beginning, Emperor Wende somehow thought about it, and set up the Newspaper Department, which was put under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In other words, the head of the Press Department is the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eunuchs supervised the press and public opinion, which directly aroused the collective hatred of the eunuchs among civil officials.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs confronted each other tit-for-tat and did not back down.

Emperor Wende was obviously also standing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Compared with the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Wende trusted the Ministry of Internal Affairs more.

Eunuchs are equivalent to the emperor's domestic slaves, and the emperor can order them with confidence.

Newspapers and periodicals are in the hands of a group of angry youths, and supervision must never be controlled by the pens.

This is the attitude of Emperor Wende.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not understand articles, but it understands loyalty to the monarch and the country. With this, enough is enough.

Chang En, as the supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, once gave an order, the Newspaper Department would naturally execute it without compromise.

Cui Qi was very curious and asked Gu Jiu, Madam thinks this is a good thing?

Gu Jiu said: I have always insisted that the publishing of newspapers needs to be supervised. Of course, it is not to engage in literary inquisition, but to achieve positive and positive guidance. Although the requirements of the newspaper department are suspected of flattering and establishing a personal image, but in comparison The relationship between wars and taxes in the past dynasties is still very positive.

The merits of the household department should not be obliterated, and the world should know what the household department has done in these years and how much credit it has made. In the past, for such a large-scale war, it would be rare to double the tax, and it is possible to double or triple the tax.

After a war is fought, the people in the rear are destitute, and life is worse than death. Such a tragedy in the world should not be forgotten, but should be remembered. In recent years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters, taxes have not increased, and the people can still live and work in peace and contentment, which is indeed commendable.

Ma'am, what do you mean, according to the requirements of the Press Department, the Da Zhou Life Show should also write articles that sing praises? Cui Qi was a little dissatisfied.

Gu Jiu chuckled softly, I mean, Life Show wants to report the facts. The Ministry of Household Affairs didn't increase taxes and corvee. Is this true?

Seeing that Cui Qi still had doubts, Gu Jiu brought up an undisclosed matter, The latest news ahead, Bei Rong spared the stationed pass and seized Xia Pass. There was a war at Xia Pass, and the Xia Pass garrison stood firm for ten days and paid nearly a year The cost of tens of thousands of casualties eventually repelled Beirong's army, forcing Beirong to change its marching plan.

How is all this possible? Let me tell you that Xiaguan was able to retreat ten thousand years from the Beirong army without backup, relying on the unity of the whole team, and relying on sufficient logistics to give the Xiaguan garrison confidence.

There is not enough food, clothing, medicine and ordnance in the warehouse, and the Xiaguang garrison will collapse in less than five days. Once the confidence collapsed and the city gate fell, the Beirong cavalry drove down, as if entering a land of no one. Several cities behind Xiaguan will be plundered by Beirong Tucheng.

Kasumigaseki's sufficient logistical supplements depended on years of hard work and accumulation by the household department to avoid a disaster in the world. Although the household department often suffers from famines, the household department has made great contributions to this war. We cannot obliterate the contribution of the household department and the imperial court.

Xiaguan defeated Beirong, why is there no news from the capital? Cui Qi was surprised.

Gu Jiu said softly: The messenger is still on the way, and in two or three days, the news will reach the capital.

But Madam learned about Xiaguan's military situation in advance.

Madam Ben has her own news channel.
