The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 785: Cabinet meeting

The goals of infrastructure construction, agricultural, industrial and commercial exhibitions, and people’s livelihood are set. The general direction must not be changed. There will be less disputes, problems encountered, and problems solved. Compared with the previous Ming, the work efficiency of this dynasty is extremely high!

"Our fiscal revenue has increased substantially! Last year, our tax revenue exceeded 10 million taels!" Yao Ming said happily. He reported on the financial situation: "Agricultural tax revenue was 2 million taels, industrial and mining tax revenue was 5.6 million taels (including direct taxes). (Mining income), the salt tax is 3.2 million taels! More tax revenue this year!"

He used to be the Shangshu of the Chongzhen dynasty. He knew how distressed the finances were at that time. He wanted to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and ask for money! Foreigners want to deal with Huang Taiji and ask for money! There are also floods, droughts, and locust plagues that require relief and money. The poor Emperor Chongzhen couldn't even bear to buy new clothes!

"We are doing better than Zhang Taiyue. When he was in power, the royal court's income in the fifth year of Wanli was 4.35 million taels of silver, but the current court was twice as much as his..." He froze, stopped speaking, and everyone looked strangely. Hold him.

Then he apologized to Yan Changwu: "Leader, I am rude, suddenly I think of Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party!"

"Nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian?" Everyone was interested and listened to him: "According to the data, when the Donglin Party was in power, I collected five million taels of agricultural taxes, several thousand taels of industrial and commercial taxes, and only a few hundred taels of salt. For example, the tea tax district in Zhejiang Province is twenty taels of silver! During Wei Zhongxian’s period, the agricultural tax fell to 1.8 million taels! The industrial and commercial tax revenue was more than one million taels! The salt tax actually amounted to more than 3.6 million taels. !"

Xijiang has the famous West Lake Longjing tea, which is well-known all over the world and is sold to Europe. It is a first-class product and expensive. Not to mention other places, the tea tax of Longjing tea alone is enough to cover the poor industrial and commercial tax when the Donglin Party was in power, if you collect it seriously!

Since the Southeast government guaranteed the shipping route, Longjing tea was indeed exported to Europe in large quantities, and the cash register was huge. However, in the Ming Dynasty, it did not receive a tax of one or two silver. At that time, Yan Changwu partnered with the Donglin Party to smuggle, and then waited after Yan Changwu came to power. Kill the Donglin Party!

"Wow!" Everyone was surprised, and Yang Chengxin sneered: "So the leader is right to defeat the Donglin Party!"

He said professionally: "No matter how poor the businessmen are, they are richer than the peasants. They can't force them to repel the merchants, but if they repel the peasants, the entire country's army is not enough!"

Ma Shiying also jokingly said: "Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party, who is more damaging to the country and the people, is clear at a glance!"

"Fifty steps, one hundred steps, but the poorly educated Wei Zhongxian did a better job than the Donglin Party who learned the rich and five carts!" Yan Changwu instructed Ma Shiying, "Ma Ge old man, you can do a magazine content. They compare and let everyone know the true face of the Donglin Party."

"However, businessmen are very resistant to the minimum wage we have implemented this year. They say that taxes are so heavy and they have to pay employees so much money. They can't stand it!" Yao Minggong said.

"So research is very important. It is necessary to understand the impact of taxation on society and where is the supporting point. In addition, why did the Emperor Chongzhen fail? That is the country is poor, the people are poor, and the real rich are the rich businessmen, corrupt officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. , And those Shanxi merchants!" Yan Changwu sneered: "So you have to collect taxes, not taxes. Where can I get your salary? Where can I get the soldiers to die? I am the second Emperor Chongzhen!"

He unscrupulously talked about Emperor Chongzhen and compared himself to Emperor Chongzhen. Everyone is accustomed to knowing that this Pirate’s head has no mentality to respect the court. Now he doesn’t have to worry about anything. Fortunately, he is quite respectful to Mazu. For example, he is cautious about killing and caring about people's livelihood, which is exactly the sacred theory of empress' compassion.

Otherwise, following a lawless boss, everyone has to think about it.

However, what he said was also the truth. The cash in the Chongzhen Emperor's imperial treasury was much larger than that of the Shanghai thieves. His mad tax collection was over ten thousand taels of silver earlier!

The rich man in the Jiangnan region definitely has more silver than the emperor Chongzhen, such as Wang Zhidong, the boss of Quanzhou Shipping, this guy is a rich country!

There is also Xu Bin, a ham king in Jinhua. This guy has opened ten pig farms. The products are sold to Japan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Europe by means of large sailing routes. His income is huge. His life is exceptionally luxurious, and his food is better than the emperor. !

...

Merchants have successful business operations, tax evasion and tax evasion, and even deprivation of employment income.

The imperial court levied heavy taxes on merchants, which can be said to be handed over to the emperor and the southeast prince, which is regarded as tribute.

Yan Changwu wants to squeeze their oil to the poor, and now the government actually announced the minimum wage, how much? A monthly income of 2 taels of silver, that is, an annual income of 12 taels of silver, must not be less than this number, otherwise it is illegal. Factory owners, merchants, and mine owners are naturally unhappy, so they all resist.

Is this minimum wage much?

In the Ming Dynasty, an oil hawker earned 20 taels of silver a year. He was equivalent to being a small private owner; he was a small proprietor of firewood for the public, and his annual income was also 20 taels of silver. Butchers had an annual income of 40 taels of silver, so 12 taels of silver. It's only enough for a living, but there are still many people who can't get the silver!

For example, store apprentices and helpers, sellers, maid servants at home, etc. Those who cook rice and water at the construction site must reach this number.

The people's heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. Yan Changwu decided to force this policy at the cabinet meeting!

"Everyone must be good, and if the common people are to be good, the businessmen will deal with it according to the law if they don't do it!" Yan Changwu said happily.

"Let me add one more point!" said Xiong Yumei, who has been silent. Unlike other women who call "concubine body", she directly uses "I". In fact, people in the Southeast system like to use "I". Words, even Yan Changwu is the same.

"We must vigorously crack down on corrupt officials and provide businessmen with a good business environment. I think the fishing law enforcement is very good, and there should not be too many, so as not to disturb the officials. However, there are a few cases every year to make the officials remember that the court is staring at them. !" Xiong Yumei suggested.

"Madam is right!" Yan Changwu praised.

The meeting that day was held until the afternoon. At noon, Yan Changwu invited everyone to dinner. After all, he had been away for so long. Although most of the affairs were dealt with, he had to go through his confirmation and review. In addition, there were some things Xiong Yumei and Xiong Yumei. The cabinet can't decide, such as cabinet supplementary members.

Wang Duo and Gao Hongtu resigned and left two positions as cabinet ministers. It is Yan Changwu's power to join the cabinet. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Du Yinxi Zhaofu Loyalty Camp did a good job and made great contributions. This man has a strategy. Look, you can enter the cabinet! "

"Well, Yao Ge is in charge of major affairs, and Du Yinxi is in charge of the Ministry of War, Yang Ge is in charge of the staff, and Ma Ge is in charge of the household. As for the other cabinet minister, Ruan Dacheng is in charge of the rule of law, the Ministry of Penalty, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. With Dali Temple!" Yan Changwu gave a final word, so Ruan Dacheng, who was a loyal dog, got the bones and reached the peak of life.

There is no cabinet minister in charge of the etiquette department, but in fact it is more powerful than the cabinet minister, because it is Xiong Yumei who manages the etiquette department!

Everyone's heart was overwhelmed. The leader was downplaying that he had already shuffled the power. As Yao Minggong used to manage the staff, he suddenly became Yang Cheng's new management staff. He who was in charge of the military before became Du Yinxi in charge. The Ministry of War, therefore, the leader is very qualified, and no one can hold power for a long time and control a certain ministry.

After the assignment was completed, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, I suddenly heard the music of blowing and beating coming to the Guogong Mansion.

Everyone gets up to wonder, you know, in front of the Guogong Mansion, keep quiet, and ordinary people are not close to the Guogong Mansion.

The news came quickly. It turned out that Qian Qianyi, the official book of the Ministry of Rites, came with the imperial decree and appointed Yan Changwu as the King of Southeast Asia on behalf of the emperor.

"These three words... haven't arrived yet!" Yan Changwu said.

"Three speeches don't have to be three, just show your attitude. The leader doesn't need to resign, so as not to chill everyone's heart, please take the throne!" Yao Minggong said.

"Not bad!" the other two cabinet ministers said in unison.

"Okay!" Yan Changwu was not hypocritical, and said straightforwardly: "Ready to take the order!"
