The news of Wang Shu coming to Jiangnan has spread to Jiangnan. Many big and small bow-headed snakes have begun to prepare, and Wang Shu came to Nanjing at a speed faster than they imagined.

Wang Shu passed the road and left the brigade behind since he was ordered, and the light car was simply followed. However, in just over ten days, he went from Beijing to Nanjing.

This is the credit of the two Beijings.

After Wang Shu arrived in Nanjing, he did not notify the various yamen, but instead asked for the ceremony of his younger generation to meet Cao Nai.

Speaking of which, Cao Nai is also in a semi-retired state in Nanjing.

There is no busy business in Nanjing.

Wang Shu is also a famous figure all over the world. Now everyone in Nanjing knows that he is coming, so the gatekeeper of Cao's mansion naturally dares not neglect and immediately welcomes Wang Shu in.

Cao Nai stood with a crutch and was helped by the maid, but he saw that he was covered in white hair and was already old. He came out and said, "Wang Zongguan, you are here so fast."

Zong Guan is the word Wang Shu.

Wang Shu said as if he was looking at the teacher: "The emperor is responsible for the emperor's order and dare not neglect it. If you have any trouble, you should trouble Mr. Cao. Please don't blame me."

Cao Nai sat down, put the crutch on one side, and said, "Tell me, since it is the emperor's order, I, the old man, dare not neglect."

Wang Shu also sat down and said, "The Master Han wants to collect commercial taxes. He has formulated thirteen monopoly sales. Let me come to Jiangnan to see if this tax law can be implemented."

Cao Nai said: "Do you need to lead the way if you sell it alone?"

Wang Shu said: "Cao Gong is wise." Then he explained the monopoly system one by one.

After hearing this, Cao Nai twisted his beard slightly and said nothing for a long time.

Wang Shu said: "Duke Cao thought it was feasible or not?"

Cao Nai said: "Han Yong is not easy to say anything else, but his execution ability is never weak. Whether it is possible or not, there is nothing he can't do."

"Why ask if it's OK? I just said no, can I stop it?"

Wang Shu coughed slightly twice. It’s hard to say anything.

Cao Nai is old and famous. Even if Han Yong is in front of Cao Nai, Cao Nai will not dare to be arrogant even if he says Han Yong like this.

But Wang Shu is different.

Many people think that His Majesty has become a little in power in recent years, and a lot of power has fallen into Han Yong's hands. They all believe that Han Yong is the strongest chief minister of this dynasty.

It is too domineering to secretly slander Han Yong.

But I didn't know that Zhu Qizhen was actually hiding behind.

After all, many things are wrong and need to be corrected.

If the new method can be implemented, Han Yong is not overbearing and cannot do anything at all.

He dared to say these words from Cao Nai, but Wang Shu didn't dare to listen too much. He changed the topic and said, "Duke Cao, the world is rich, Jiangnan is the most important. If you want to impose commercial tax, the key is Jiangnan. Once Jiangnan is solved, it will be easy to say in all parts of the world. If Jiangnan cannot be solved, it will be difficult to deal with other places."

"Your Majesty, the first thing I did when I came to Nanjing was to visit Cao Gong, which shows how much Your Majesty valued Cao Gong."

"This matter needs guidance from Mr. Cao."

A strange smile appeared on Cao Nai's mouth, as if he was ridiculing Wang Shu's words, as if he was ridiculing himself.

If the emperor really valued him, how could he be on the bench in Nanjing for more than ten years?

He remembered all the previous views of the king and his subjects, sighed slightly, and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Wang Shu said: "Where should students start from if they want to check commercial taxes?"

Cao Nai said: "It's just Suzhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Hangzhou, and several places. You just need to find out these places, and it's much easier to say how to collect the commercial tax."

"However, how do you check it out? You shouldn't come and ask me."

Wang Shu also knew a lot about the cities Cao Nai mentioned. These are the largest cities in the Jiangnan area.

Songjiang and Ningbo are ports, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are traditional handicraft centers. Although the Ming Dynasty factory appeared, traditional handicraft industry also maintains its vitality.

Not completely defeated.

Moreover, many things in traditional handicrafts have been transferred to factories.

Wang Shu fully understood the cities that Cao Nai mentioned, but he was not clear. Who did Cao Nai ask him to ask? After all, Cao Nai has been in Nanjing for more than 20 years, comparable to the Yongle hero Zhongqin Bo Li Xian.

Although Cao Nai is old, he is definitely not the kind of old and confused person. Logically speaking, he is the best at understanding the situation in Jiangnan.

"Who should the student ask?" Wang Shu asked.

Cao Nai thought about it, took out a piece of paper from his body, placed it on the table, pushed it towards Wang Shu, and said, "Go and ask him."

Wang Shu took it and saw it, it was a silver note. The paper was quite good, hard and thin, with various patterns on it, and gold and silver colors. The middle said "As a hundred yuan" and the back said: "Made in Shaofu, forged and killed."

Generally speaking, in the Ming Dynasty, silver dollars and silver are still shared, and one or two liang is worth one yuan.

However, the traces of using silver liang in large quantities are not so easy to eliminate. For example, many times, people will call one yuan one liang, or one liang one liang one liang.

Wang Shu's heart moved and said, "What do you mean is to ask Shaofu Bank?"

Cao Nai said: "Now, this is used for large-scale transactions, and even the imperial taxes are used for this. Who knows many things better than Shaofu Bank?"

Wang Shu immediately bowed and said, "Student, thank you for your advice."

There are many things that few people can think of if they don’t click on them. The key to this investigation is in Shaofu Bank.

Although Wang Shu has been in the local area for a long time, he is not unclear about Shaofu Bank.

I even heard that the reason why His Majesty gave the income of Zunhua Iron Factory to the Ministry of Revenue is that the income of Shaofu Bank has exceeded that of Zunhua Iron Factory.

The head of Shaofu Bank is Wang Yue. Under his management, Shaofu Bank has spread all over the world for several years. Almost all provincial capitals and major governments can achieve barbarian deposits and withdrawals.

Some people have already proposed that the court taxes be transferred through the Shaofu Bank, but this matter is a bit too incredible. Even if the bank belongs to the Shaofu Bank, there are still many oppositions.

Now, local officials who are too far away from places or who are not taxed in time choose to use this method.

However, the bank notes issued by Shaofu Bank were also issued.

There is no small amount of this kind of silver bill, the least is the one that Wang Shu held a hundred yuan bill, and the one that uses the most is the one that is the one that is used.

Of course, I probably don’t understand the ordinary people at all, nor do I understand this bank, but it is normal for dealers in the world, especially those who make big deals, to deal with Shaofu Bank.

Therefore, if you want to truly understand the situation of these merchants and formulate a tax rate that can make them bleed but not cause them to be seriously damaged, it is indeed easier to understand from Shaofu Bank.

Cao Nai nodded and said, "This thing is not easy to do. You have to think about it."

Wang Shu naturally knew what Cao Nai was talking about? The water behind these great merchants was very deep. In the world of Ming Dynasty, wealth without sufficient power to protect cannot last long. It is definitely not easy to collect taxes from these people. He said: "Students bear the emperor's destiny, and even if they die, they will never regret it."

Cao Nai looked at Wang Shu and thought in a daze that he was in the court, and he was not following this idea. At this moment, he saw his shadow in Wang Shu. He said, "The Young Mansion Chief Wang Yue is in Nanjing at this moment. Your Majesty has arrangements for you. Do your work well."

Wang Shu heard this and said, "Thank you for your advice. The student is here."

After Wang Shu gave his salute, he slowly retreated out.

Cao Nai reached out and took the hundred yuan silver notes on the table and put them in his arms. You must know that these hundred yuan silver notes were not a small amount for Cao Nai. With his official position, even if the court repeatedly gave favors, he only had one or two thousand taels of silver every year.

Cao Nai watched Wang Shu leave and said in his heart: "I don't know if I'm doing it right."

But what he did was wrong, and now there is no way to save it.
