Daming: Teach the prince about dragon slaying skills at the beginning

"At least except for the Ministry of Households, the other five ministries will definitely strongly oppose it!!!"

"And their opposition is not without reason. At least the reasons they gave must be for the public good and help their respective ministries work."

"If you can't convince them, then even if His Majesty uses his prestige to forcibly pass this resolution."

"I'm afraid the other five ministries will think of ways to prove that the country's fiscal revenue is all concentrated in the hands of the Ministry of Households. How 'inconvenient' it is for the other five ministries to run the country's political affairs, and how much it has caused the five ministries of the court and the people of the world. 'trouble'."

"In the face of the 'trouble' encountered by the five ministries of the court, or the 'trouble' created on their own initiative, if the Ministry of Households cannot settle it."

"Then I'm afraid that even with His Majesty's support, the Ministry of Household Affairs will probably have to spit out that part of the financial power again in the end, and let it belong to the other five ministries of the court again."

"However, if the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot truly unify the national fiscal revenue and expenditure, and if the internal treasury of the emperor and the national treasury are clearly defined, then it will not be able to truly undertake the budget planning role of a country's fiscal revenue and expenditure."

"In turn, the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to make a reasonable planning and expenditure budget for the expenditures required for various affairs in the coming year based on the fiscal revenue budgets of these countries!"

"And if the Ministry of Households does not know the overall budgetary revenue and expenditure of a country, then it will not be able to know how many Daming Tongxingbao banknotes should be issued by the imperial court, so as not to cause excessive and excessive issuance of Daming Tongxingbao banknotes, which will eventually lead to Bad inflation!"

"If inflation cannot be controlled, then sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will collapse the country's credibility due to the depreciation of the Daming Tongxing Banknote, which represents the country's credibility, and it is very likely that it will eventually embark on the path of the collapse of the Great Yuan."

"These are linked together, and one trigger affects the whole body."

Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang about the difficulties in a calm and serious tone.

Chapter 175: Intrigue among the six departments, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make a big deal 【Please subscribe, please order in full】

Underneath, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes, all had serious expressions.

Only at this time did they really understand that what Yan Changqing said before, that he wanted to truly establish a stable Daming Tongxing treasure banknote system, and that if he was careless, even the country and society of the Ming Dynasty would be in danger of turmoil, it was really not a joke.

Court disputes, in the final analysis, are individual-to-individual interest and power disputes, individual-to-group interest and power disputes, and group-to-team interest and power disputes.

Once, according to what Yan Changqing said, all the financial power in the world is really collected into the Ministry of Households.

Then it is equivalent to reducing the interests and powers of the current five ministries of the imperial court, thereby strengthening the interests and powers of the Ministry of Households.

In this way, it is bound to attract strong resistance, protest, and dissatisfaction from the other five ministries of the imperial court! ! !

It will even directly lead to conflicts between the Ministry of Households and the other five ministries of the imperial court! ! !

At that time, it is difficult to say whether the other five ministries of the imperial court will deliberately let it go, or even cause some troubles, in order to get back their own part of the interests and power, so as to dump the blame on the Ministry of Household Affairs.

No, it should be said that in order to get back their own interests and power, the other five ministries of the imperial court will inevitably let it go on purpose, or even cause some troubles, so as to throw the blame to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

For example, where in the world the river broke its embankment again, the Ministry of Industry needs to quickly mobilize relevant personnel to repair the river embankment, so as not to cause greater losses and harm to the people.

If it was in the past, then the Ministry of Industry might respond positively and deal with it immediately.

But if things go wrong now, the Ministry of Industry will deliberately slack off and delay, causing the river to burst its embankment and bring greater losses and harm to the people of Daming.

Then when the court meeting was held, the matter was brought up to attack the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is said that because the Ministry of Households did not allocate funds for the embankment in place, it was difficult for the Ministry of Industry to mobilize relevant personnel to repair the embankment, causing greater losses and injuries to the people of Ming Dynasty.

Use this to accuse the Ministry of Households of being unfavorable in handling affairs, and then mention a few words on the side saying that this kind of problem would not have occurred when the Ministry of Industry had its own private treasury.

At least when the funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot be allocated in time, the Ministry of Industry can also allocate funds urgently from its own private treasury to mobilize relevant manpower and resources to repair the embankment, so as to prevent the people of Ming Dynasty from suffering greater losses and injuries.

Can the Ministry of Finance explain such accusations clearly? ! !

The same "trouble" like this, can the emperor really say that the Ministry of Industry deliberately caused it? ! !

The Ministry of Industry can always come up with a lot of high-sounding and plausible reasons to prove that it didn't do it on purpose.

After all, when it comes to these things, the Ministry of Industry is the professional one! ! !

If you want to fool the half-understood laymen like Tianzi and Hubu, the Ministry of Industry has at least a hundred "official professional excuses" that can evade and explain the past.

Unless it is said that the emperor is directly unreasonable, he will default to the disaster and trouble deliberately created by the Ministry of Industry, and then punish the Ministry of Industry.

The Son of Heaven can do such things.

But once this is done, then I am afraid that what the emperor will face is a Ministry of Industry that has chosen to be completely rotten! ! !

Because the emperor's interests and power disputes in the court are generally in the position of referee.

It is understandable for the contestants that the referee occasionally pulls one or two sideways.

But the problem is, if the emperor favors the household department every time, it will not be justified.

This will only make the other five ministries of the imperial court completely ruined, and at the same time cause the Hubu to dominate the court, which is not a good thing for the emperor.

Therefore, for the accusation made by the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households must rely on its own ability to refute it, or at least explain clearly that the delay in repairing the embankment has nothing to do with it.

Only in this way can it maintain its authority over fiscal unity.

And even if the Ministry of Industry can explain this matter clearly, what about the other Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Punishment that have similar troubles and accusations? ! !

As long as the Ministry of Household Affairs does not handle one of these matters perfectly and in a timely manner, then the other five ministries of the court will attack it together! ! !

Finally, through repeated attacks, let the emperor and the Ministry of Households know how "inconvenient", "troublesome" and "terrible" it is for all the national finances to be under the control of the Ministry of Households! !

In the end, the Ministry of Households was forced to spit out the interests and power of the five ministries, so that the other five ministries of the court might stop.

And when the five ministries of the imperial court only wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble for the household ministries, and deliberately indulged, causing troubles and incidents for the country and the people, they no longer devoted themselves to serving the country and the public.

If it is so light, it will cause the people of Daming to complain, and if it is serious, it will even destabilize the country of Daming! ! !

[The public and private treasury of the emperor's treasury and the state treasury are clearly distinguished, which is easy to say, at least we can settle this matter with one word. 】

[Even if the courtiers of the household department know that we are going to separate the emperor's internal treasury from the national treasury, then maybe they will say that we are wise and powerful. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang at the bottom slightly closed his eyes, tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, and fell into his own contemplation.

[空 白]⑥⒐⑧９⒉5⑧5O 內部裙：⒉⒉0⑤23①4⑨

In addition, Empress Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di and other princes also have their own thoughts.

[However, if we want the Ministry of Households to truly achieve financial unification, then even we cannot force it to go on. We must make the other five ministries of the court willing, or there must be no complaints or resistance at the beginning of the implementation. OK. 】

[As long as you survive the first year and let the Ministry of Households truly unify the finances for one year, then future fiscal revenue, expenditure budget planning, and fiscal unification can form a routine. 】

[Similarly, the Ministry of Household Affairs can also really tighten the power to unify the national fiscal revenue and expenditure. 】

[In this way, even in the future, even if the other five ministries of the imperial court want to get back their original part of financial power, they will no longer make trouble by deliberately letting it go, or even creating some troubles and dumping the blame on the Ministry of Household Affairs. 】

【Because if some things are not brought up at the beginning, then there will be no chance to bring them up later. 】

...... 0

[If everything goes smoothly in the first year of national fiscal unification, the income and expenditure of the household department to the other five departments will be normal. 】

[Then in the second or third year in the future, if something abnormal suddenly occurs, then it is probably not the problem of the Ministry of Household Affairs. 】

[At least the Ministry of Household Affairs can take the example of the country's smooth financial reunification in the first year to refute the other five departments with reason and evidence. 】

[Similarly, even if the other five departments want to say that after the national finance is unified, it will cause a lot of "inconvenience", "trouble" and "bad". 】

[However, in the face of the previous example of a smooth national fiscal unification in the first year, these rhetoric will not hold water. 】

[So it is necessary to find a suitable, special opportunity that will not cause strong resistance from the other five ministries of the imperial court before it can be implemented. 】

[And if you want the five imperial courts to not contradict this matter, then the best way is to figure out another major matter involving the other five imperial courts, and divert the attention of the five imperial courts from the matter of national financial unification Now, move on to another big thing. 】

【Big things, big things, big things...】

[What kind of big event can involve the entire court and attract the attention of the entire court? ! ! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, thinking about the "big thing" he wanted.

Chapter 176: Tax collection system in kind without intermediaries earning the price difference【Please subscribe, please order in full】

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was in deep thought, Yan Changqing sighed softly, turned around and wrote on the wooden rice paper behind him, saying:

"In addition to the issues just mentioned, in terms of finance, the primary tool for the country to manage and count fiscal revenue and expenditure is a unified currency and a unified calculation of revenue and expenditure in currency."

"As for this point, Daming is equivalent to Da Song, and it is also a big financial setback."

"From the promulgation of the 'Two Taxes Law' in the Tang Dynasty, the country's finances began to develop in the direction of monetization and unified digitization."

"After the Song Dynasty, there was already a financial management system that was calculated in copper coins every year."

"However, after His Majesty's Ming Dynasty, the practice of managing the country's finances with copper coins was abandoned, and it returned to the grain standard, using 'stone' as the unit of calculation of the country's finances."

Next, when Yan Changqing said this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in deep thought, immediately regained his spirits. Before being caught by Yan Changqing, he had a good meal about various "[-]" issues in the Ming financial system, but he still couldn't refute it. .

But the fact that the country collects taxes in kind, he really thought about it seriously before he decided to implement the method of tax collection in kind.

"Mr. Yan, I disagree with you on this point."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and interrupted Yan Changqing.

Yan Changqing on the podium was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a slightly surprised expression, and said:

"Appreciate further details."

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice, and then said:

"If the currency collection tax method is implemented, then when the tax season comes, the people will get together to sell grain, and the price of grain will drop sharply at that time."

"Food prices have fallen sharply, which means that the people need to sell more food to make up enough money to pay taxes."

"In this way, wouldn't the common people have to pay more money, food and taxes in disguise?!"

"But if the method of tax collection in kind is implemented, then there is no need to worry about the impact of food price fluctuations."

"The state collects one stone of grain from the people, so whether the price of this stone of grain remains the same, or falls to five hundred, or even three hundred, it has nothing to do with the people."

"As long as the common people pay the tax in kind of a stone of grain normally, that's fine."

"And even though the imperial court collects a large amount of money from the people through currency collection, the tax money collected will still have to be spent again to buy various grain and cloth materials."

"People sell food to pay taxes, and the court spends money to buy real goods. Isn't this superfluous?!"

"In this back and forth transaction, the common people hurt the peasants because of the low grain price, and the imperial court wasted money because of the price of grain and cloth materials. In the end, only the merchants benefited!!!"

"Moreover, the method of collecting taxes in currency will easily lead to officials' corruption and fraud."

"However, if the method of tax collection in kind is implemented and the grain and cloth are directly collected from the people, then the merchants can be prevented from obtaining huge benefits, and at the same time, the tax collection and management can be avoided to the greatest extent from corruption and fraudulent behavior."

"After all, how many stones of grain are collected, that is how many stones of grain."

"As long as the superior weighs it, then you can know how much food is in it, and whether it is true or not."

"If the weight is not enough, then the officials below must be greedy for ink and cheating!!!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, all the princes, including Empress Ma, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, Zhu Di, etc., nodded their heads again and again.

That's right, if the method of currency collection is implemented, then every time the tax is collected, the people will sell grain out together, which will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in grain prices.

The sharp drop in food prices means that the people need to sell more food to collect enough tax.

In this way, the court did not collect more taxes because of the drop in food prices, and the people lost more food because of the drop in food prices.

In the end, neither the court nor the people benefited, only those speculators who bought low and sold high gained huge benefits in the process.

However, if the method of tax collection in kind is implemented, it will be possible to cut off the middle speculators who buy low and sell high.

What does it mean to earn the difference without a middleman? ! !

This is called earning the difference without a middleman! ! !

Therefore, Yan Changqing said that he and Ming's financial system had problems in other aspects, and Zhu Yuanzhang could accept it.

But only when it came to the collection of taxes in kind, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept it.

In his opinion, this is obviously a great thing that benefits the country and the people! ! !

A flash of surprise flashed in Yan Changqing's eyes. He didn't expect that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the method of tax collection in kind was to avoid middlemen from making a difference.

Such an idea, how should I put it.

I can only say that if you look at it from the perspective of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal experience in his early years, then there is probably nothing wrong.
