Chapter 68 The wind is coming first
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I think Qiu Jun's method is good, but some are a little too slow. I think another pilot should be set up in other places, such as Guangdong, more specific, how about Foshan, Guangdong?"
When Qiu Jun heard this, he immediately looked at his nose, asked his nose, and asked his heart. It seemed that he could hear nothing or see nothing.
After all, the Xian family, known as the Nan Shaofu, is very famous and rich.
Qiu Jun, as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, understands the relationship between the Xian family and the prince clearly.
Don’t forget that Qiu Jun is from Guangdong, specifically from Qiongzhou.
He sat in the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. The people in Guangdong were Qiu Jun's village party. Qiu Jun was not very well-informed in other provinces, but he was very well-informed in Guangdong.
Why is the Xian family so powerful that they firmly ranked first in Guangdong?
How could Qiu Jun not know?
Because I really know, I know that this is not something that anyone can interfere in. Imperial family affairs.
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's question, the prince immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The child knows his guilt."
Zhu Qizhen said, "Oh, what are you guilty?"
The prince said: "As the prince, he should not participate in business, nor should he help his brother-in-law do business, and he collected his money. However, the child did not spend a penny without authorization, and all subsidized it in the gap in the Nanyang Dusi. After all, the soldiers followed him to Nanyang and wanted to make them work hard. The amount allocated by the imperial court to the Nanyang Dusi was not enough. The child had no choice but to make this decision. Please give a clear explanation."
Qiu Jun sighed in his heart: "The prince has definitely prepared him. He has prepared his Majesty to ask this question. How should he answer it? It's just that he is obviously too smart."
Qiu Jun believed that the prince would clean up the head and tail.
Even if the emperor sent someone to investigate, it was found that the prince got all the money from the Xian family and used it for official business.
But Qiu Jun believed even more that the prince’s money must be a bit shameful place.
No need to check this.
This is a necessity for some politicians.
However, the prince's answer has added a bit of quibbling nature. He can deal with it when facing ordinary people, but unfortunately the person in front of him is not ordinary people.
Zhu Qizhen saw people lying more than listened to people.
The most important quality of an emperor in his life is to distinguish who is telling the truth, who is telling the lies, who is saying half-truth and half-price, who is saying the truth and falsehood, and what is there in the truth and falsehood, what is there in the truth and falsehood, what is there in the falsehood, what is the nine truth and one false, nine false one true, etc.
As soon as the prince's words came out, Zhu Qizhen knew there was something wrong with it.
But Zhu Qizhen didn't ask.
After all, he is his own son and the prince. Can he really investigate him?
It is a serious political incident to check the prince, and Zhu Qizhen is very clear about one thing, that is, he can do one point on top and achieve ten points below.
As long as Zhu Qizhen showed a trace of dissatisfaction with the prince, his other sons would grow wildly like wild grass.
So, what Zhu Qizhen said as the prince is true.
Zhu Qizhen said: "What's this? Isn't the Shaofu doing business too? You are not going to have any money, so it's not a big deal."
The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, figured out Zhu Qizhen's meaning, and said tentatively: "Father, why don't I advise my brother-in-law to incorporate the Xian family's property into the Shaofu to solve the shortage of the imperial court's expenses?"
Zhu Qizhen said, "No. How can the emperor take away someone's property? You must never say anything like this."
The prince said, "The child has lost his words."
The prince's attitude made Zhu Qizhen feel a little disappointed. He was not just disappointed the prince, because he knew that the prince's attitude was not just the prince's own attitude, but the attitude of many people. They regarded the big businessmen as lambs to be slaughtered.
It is always natural to make money from these people.
It was like Wang Shu confiscating the Xu family's property, which was nothing at all.
Now Xian Jing started his career with the court. If he had not married the Chongqing princess, he would not be the number one person at all.
Zhu Qizhen doesn’t think that businessmen are good, they are very correct.
But all developments must be moderate. In this way, the upper power level seeks the lower power. Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor of the upper power level, is a good experience.
How would it feel to be a businessman in the lower class?
If all businessmen pursue the highest pursuit, they are to become a red-topped businessman, or simply abandon the business and become a senior official like Wang Yue.
The Ming Dynasty's business was completely dependent on the powerful and the political, and became a stagnant pool.
Zhu Qizhen is not absolute. The economy cannot be dependent on politics, but it is definitely not such a method of dependent on it.
Zhu Qizhen's idea of formulating commercial law was even more urgent.
However, Zhu Qizhen asked the prince about this, not to say this. He brought back his own ideas and said, "Does the Xian family pay taxes?"
The prince was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "My son doesn't know."
Zhu Qizhen really didn't know when he saw it.
I think it's the prince who only needs to pay attention to the profits. As for the specific business details, I don't have to worry about it.
Zhu Qizhen asked Qiu Jun and said, "Qiu Qing, do you know that the Xian family has paid the tax?"
Qiu Jun said: "I have checked the documents of the Xian family and he has paid only 70,000 taels of iron courses. This is the quota allocated to the entire Foshan in the early stage of Zheng's early period."
Zhu Qizhen understood as soon as he heard it.
Almost no tax was paid.
The fixed quota tax implemented by the Ming Dynasty for a long time, whether it is land tax or commercial tax. The court just needs to determine a fixed quota and share it.
Xian’s Foshan Iron Factory almost destroyed other iron industries in Foshan Town, and these iron industries became members of the Foshan Iron Factory production system.
Take action for Foshan Iron Factory.
It is normal for all the Foshan Iron Courses to be put on Xian's family. Apart from that, nothing was paid. However, Foshan Iron Factory has become the center of Southern Iron Industry, which is not much smaller than Zunhua Iron Factory.
It's hard to forget how much tax is missing.
Of course, the Xian family is definitely not the one who does this.
Many people do this.
It can be said that who pays taxes for people with status and background?
The prince can understand these problems. The prince was thrown out by Zhu Qizhen and beaten for so many years. If he had not made any progress in this, it would almost be a waste. After he figured it out, he immediately said: "Father, I will urge Xian Jing to pay the tax."
Zhu Qizhen said: "No need, I always have to give Chongqing some face. I don't care about the past, but it won't work in the future. Qiu Jun."
Qiu Jun said, "I am here."
Zhu Qizhen said: "Sent the order to the cabinet, and let him implement the commercial tax law in Guangdong. Xian Jing will focus on taking care of it."
Qiu Jun said: "I obey the order."
Zhu Qizhen said to the prince: "I have told Wang Yue that after he goes back, all the business in the Shaofu Mansion will be paid taxes, and it must not be missed. Xian Jing is the same. Please warn him about this."
When the prince heard this, he felt relieved. He thought that Zhu Qizhen had attacked him, but now it seems that this is not the case.
He immediately said, "My son understands. He will definitely warn Xian Jing."
Zhu Qizhen naturally had no idea of attacking the prince.
It’s just that the problem of the powerful and wealthy people in the Ming Dynasty evaded taxes was too serious. It was so serious that Zhu Qizhen had to pay attention and had to set an example. He ordered all people like Shaofu and Xian family to pay taxes.
Because only in this way can we deal with some blatant tax evasion and evasion families.
After all, these families who dare to blatantly evade taxes will not be small families. They are either nobles, or they are related to the royal family, or they are famous imperial examination masters, and have passed the imperial examination for generations, etc.
None of them is easy to deal with.
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to deal with a major case. After all, Zhu Qizhen has been in the throne for so many years, and these people have some relationship with Zhu Qizhen. Most of them are old friends, after being a minister in the center.
Zhu Qizhen wanted to use this method to give them a blowjob. If they had enough political sense, they should know what to do.
If not, Zhu Qizhen would not have any psychological burden if he took action.
