Two days later, a mansion report came from the palace.

"The officials in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals all increased their salary by 30%. The new commercial tax was paid, and they would pay the money in the future without receiving goods. The Mentan tax and commercial tax of unknown origin were all abolished."

When the officials saw the report from the palace, they were shocked and their salary increased?

I read it incredibly and read it again and again. The news was so exciting that it suddenly increased by 30% of the salary.

There is no warning that a big cake will fall from the sky!

"Has the salary increased?" Du Xing, a constable from Shuntian Mansion, was overjoyed when he saw the report from the mansion. His salary was three stones of rice per month, and the few people in his family were almost enough to eat.

If you increase by 30%, you can save some money.

"Sir, read today's residence report!"

Liu Qing was drinking tea in the yamen. When he saw the news of the mansion, he almost choked to death. He put down the teacup and looked at it again and again. Did the court actually raise the salary of the officials?

As a third-rank official of the court, his monthly rice salary is 35 shi, which is about ten shi.

"What are you laughing at?" asked the official secretary who had just walked over.

"I have increased my salary!"

...

Not only officials, but also merchants from Shuntian Mansion were also surprised to see the newspaper, "The commercial tax was changed to cashiers, and no goods were collected?"

How much money does this have to be paid!

When the merchants were angry, they saw the news of the mansion: "There are no more taxes and detailed taxes, and they only charge once every government, and there are more bills?"

The impact is not big. Selling the goods can be exchanged for silver, as long as the tax money does not increase.

How much money does this save than before?

The diary was spread to Hejian Mansion, and the reaction was similar to Shuntian Mansion.

The officials were shocked and their salary increased?

The gentry were also shocked. The tax on the door and some other fine taxes were not collected, and the commercial tax was still one at thirty, and as long as the bank was paid.

Some gentry boycotted and complained, and went to the yamen, but the salaries of officials in the yamen increased. If the new commercial law was not implemented, wouldn’t the cooked duck fly?

So the officials said righteously: "This is a new tax law implemented by the court. If you still want to rebel, you will not succeed!"

The gentry who was really dissatisfied with it, so they were imprisoned and sheltered.

Yan Mansion,

Yan Chengjin saw the newspaper, and he sprinkled thousands of words, but he summed up only a few sentences.

For officials: Give you a salary increase, keep an eye on the commercial tax;

For the gentry and businessmen: I will reduce some commercial taxes and change it to a transaction of money.

"The new commercial tax is actually Zhang Juzheng's whip method. Zhang Juzheng can implement it even if he is a minister. Hongzhi is even more troublesome as the emperor."

Yan Chengjin only wanted to convince Emperor Hongzhi alone.

Emperor Hongzhi was in power, with three cabinets assisting him with all their strength, and the implementation of the new commercial law was much easier than Zhang Juzheng.

The increase in salary for officials is not to prevent them from being corrupt, nor can they be eliminated by any dynasty, but to let them not interfere with the implementation of the new commercial tax.

Reduce and exempt businessmen from taxes and fine taxes, not to give them benefits, but to relieve pain.

To put it bluntly, I just slap it and give it a candy.

The commercial tax is still the original thirty and the tax is one, and there will not be too many people resist.

"The Thirteen Censors of the Two Capitals will have an additional task in the future to check the invoices of local commercial taxes to prevent the officials of the Tax Department from being corrupt." Yan Chengjin looked at the di newspaper carefully. The intervention of the Censorate was proposed to Dai Shan.

Just like salt traders, after a merchant arrives at the local area, he has to hand over the invoice to the yamen before he can do business.

Once the censor checks the invoices of the Tax Division and the invoices of the merchants, he will know whether there are any missing items.

"The silver received by each government is handed over to the court and is returned to the Taicang warehouse. When various places need relief to the disaster, they will beg the court and issue relief silver." Yan Chengjin put down his residence and reported.

The commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was divided into overt tax and residence tax.

Passing tax means that when transporting goods passes through the border, you must pay the work and banknotes, etc. The new commercial law only pays the tax once, and you can present the invoice after passing the customs.

No matter which tax is collected, the money will be paid to Taicang in the end.

Housing tax is the tax that needs to be paid when goods are stored, including the tax that must be paid during sales. It is mainly collected from houses and warehouses. It is also only collected once and an invoice is issued.

Yan Chengjin took a sip of wolfberry tea and felt much more relaxed.

It turns out that the merchants could not receive silver without taxes, which was enough to support the Ming Dynasty. Now that the new merchants had taxes, the treasury would be more abundant.

Starting today, the new commercial law will be implemented in Shuntian Prefecture, and even the officials guarding the gate have become smiling.

The gentry didn't react much, and he took one at thirty, and only paid once with invoices and housing taxes, and he couldn't pay a few silver.

The newspapers spread to Nanzhili.

Ning Wang Mansion,

When Zhu Chenhao saw the mansion report, he frowned slightly: "The court has changed the commercial tax and wants to collect cash?" The astronomical telescope last time made him confused. What will His Majesty do this time?

The adviser on the side said, "There will be people who will be dissatisfied with this move. Prince, why don't we send someone to make a fuss in secret?"

"No!"

Zhu Chenhao is still smart. Now Emperor Hongzhi is in his prime and has great power. He has not bribed any of the officials from the cabinet and the six ministries.

The few small fish and shrimps I bought were unable to make any noise in the court, but they were investigated by His Majesty and exposed instead.

"The new business law seems abrupt, but it can raise salaries for officials and abolish some old taxes. This move not only appeases officials, but also appeases gentry and merchants. I am afraid that other places will also implement it." Another adviser said.

Zhu Chenhao nodded. The imperial court received the money, which was not a good thing for him.

...

Huizhou Prefecture,

In the pavilions and pavilions of his own bamboo forest, the book boy grinds ink, and the sound of birds singing came from everywhere. The servant suddenly sent a newspaper.

Cheng Minzheng opened it and saw that the court wanted to change commercial taxes, and also raise salaries for officials and cut off excess commercial taxes?

A quick glance at it, there was no news about the unscrupulous hometown.

The Cheng family is a famous Hui merchant in Huizhou, mainly engaged in some silk, tea and porcelain.

After Yan Chengjin resettled the refugees to Liangxiang, many strange goods were released there, so he sent people to Liangxiang to trade.

After the shopkeeper came back, he was amazed, which made Cheng Minzheng very curious.

He would read the newspapers from the capital.

As for the new commercial laws implemented by the court, he carefully looked at them.

"Master, Liangxiang has long implemented the new commercial law." The butler said.

Cheng Minzheng nodded.

………

At noon, the sun was dazzling outside the hall, and Yan Chengjin walked outside in a regular outfit, and it was a little hot.

He walked slowly down the jade steps and prepared to go to the yamen of the Censorate.

Now there is a surplus at the end of summer, and there are bumper harvests everywhere and the treasury is full.

"At the pace, the Tatars should come and rob."

It is necessary to write a book to my father and make him more vigilant. Every year during the harvest, the Tatars would go south to plunder. This is a secret that both the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty knew.

Now the court has implemented a new law. If the Tatars invade the nine borders, the court will be unable to take into account the implementation of the new law.

What Yan Chengjin didn't know was that the Tatar army had already reached the border of Ningxia.

...

Ningxia border,

Three days ago, a large Tatar army was stationed on the river beach ten miles outside the city.

Yan Kesong ordered the soldiers to return to the city, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and the Red Barbarian General was placed on the wall, and the Song family telescope monitored the movements of the Tatars outside the city.

The Ningxia border army plus the three thousand Shenji camps have opened their doors to fight.

However, the court sent the Red Barbarian General and ordered the nine sides to stay in seclusion to defend the city, and they were not allowed to take the initiative to fight with the Tatars unless the Tatars attacked the city.

A cavalry rushed from a distance, and Yan Kesong looked through the Song telescope and found that it was Lin Song.
