Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"It's getting more interesting."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and put down the joint memorial he was holding. Zhu Youxiao did not expect that the turmoil against Tongbao Bank would actually involve the Shuntian Government Office and the Zhili Department of National Taxation.

Even because of this joint memorial, Zhu Youxiao knew that the Wucheng Military and Horse Department and the Wucheng Patrol Censor's Office had some unclear involvement with some people.

"Passed down my oral instructions, Chen Qiyu and Han Yiliang entered the palace after listening to them."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Looking at Liu Ruoyu who was bowing and saluting, and Zhu Youxiao who was leaning on the throne, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to wait and adjust some of the capital's structures when the time was right, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer!

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is also good.

It’s not bad to be the censor who patrols the five cities.

This is all to strengthen the control of the capital and ensure that any unstable factors cannot occur within the boundaries of the capital and then pose any threat to the imperial power.

But now?

This original intention has changed!

If there is any disturbance in the capital of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Five Cities Patrol Censorship Office, instead of being able to play a positive role in intervention, on the contrary, they are pushing back or restricting the situation overtly or covertly, then there is no need for them to exist!

After all, Beijing is different!

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the absolute hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of disturbance occurs, it may have corresponding effects. As a result, unstable factors may increase, and this is something Zhu Youxiao will never allow!

If you can't even control the capital and capital, how can you control the entire Ming Dynasty?

How meaningful is it to simply control a Forbidden City, an imperial city?

"That's good. Since Han Yiliang has found something, let's take advantage of the situation and break the situation." Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's lips turned up slightly and said: "Originally, I thought that I would wait until Tongbao Bank couldn't survive, and then use internal funds to solve the problem. Crisis, it seems now, there is no need to go to such trouble!!"

Now that Han Yiliang has found out some information, he can follow the clues and arrest the groups involved in smuggling one by one.

As long as this group of people is arrested, if nothing else is said, the gold and silver obtained from the confiscation of the house must be an astonishing amount.

And the most critical point is that in the previous anti-smuggling operations, this group of people was not affected in any way, so the people standing behind them are definitely not simple.

These big silk merchants, big tea merchants, big grain merchants, etc. in the capital all have extremely strong family backgrounds. However, being able to establish a firm foothold in the capital does not depend on having money.

The Ming Dynasty pursued a national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, and it also had the characteristics of imperial autocratic rule. This made merchants just like fat sheep in the eyes of those in power.

No matter how many people die, there will always be new people willing to pounce!

All of this is driven by profit!

The strict hierarchy and solidification of classes in the Ming Dynasty are by no means as simple as later generations thought. If Zhu Youxiao wants to reverse the Ming Dynasty, he must put his privileges into a cage and cannot allow him to continue to act recklessly. The Ming Dynasty is today, That’s the result of rampant privilege!

And this is bound to be a difficult process.

A quarter of an hour later.

Qianqing Palace.

Dong Nuan Pavilion.

"I have read the joint memorial of the two Qing families."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions, looked at Chen Qiyu and Han Yiliang and said, "Since you have found something, don't have any worries, just go and check it out."

After hearing this, Chen Qiyu and Han Yiliang looked at each other in tacit understanding, with different expressions on their faces.

Especially Han Yiliang, the unconcealable excitement was plastered on his face!

For Han Yiliang, he was willing to take up the post of the State Administration of Taxation because he wanted to do more practical things and even participate in the tax reform led by the court. If it were not for these reasons, he would never accept this position.

After all, with the title of being an official, Qingliu's scolding was not unusually harsh!

"Perhaps I was too kind before, which made some people think that the laws of the country were just decoration."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, with a hint of indifference between his brows, "But they forgot that there can't be a square circle without rules. If everyone is like this, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty really be in chaos?"

"There are too many places in chaos in the Ming Dynasty nowadays. I don't want the chaos in the Ming Dynasty to continue. Since some people want to challenge my bottom line and challenge the laws of the country, well, then I will let them know that doing this What price will be paid for this matter!!"

"Your Majesty the Holy Spirit!!"

Han Yiliang bowed his head and bowed, his words full of excitement, "Since I became an official, I have discovered that many of the difficulties faced by the court can be solved. The reason why they are not solved, or even allowed to rot, is that some people take advantage of them. There was a fluke, or even an undisguised intervention!”

"Just like the current problem in the capital, the Tongbao Bank has touched the interests of some people, so it has received strong counterattacks. Everything must be done within limits. Any phenomenon that endangers order and stability will be punished by the court. Fight firmly, otherwise Tsuna will be in chaos!"

Still too young.

Zhu Youxiao raised his lips slightly and glanced at Han Yiliang. The run on Tongbao Bank was by no means as simple as touching the interests of some people. There were many things involved behind it.

There are just some words that cannot be said clearly.

When he saw Chen Qiyu's expression, Zhu Youxiao knew that Chen Qiyu had guessed it, but seeing that Chen Qiyu didn't say anything, Zhu Youxiao knew what Chen Qiyu was thinking.

"Chen Qing, there has been so much trouble in the capital, how are the Shuntian Government going to deal with it?" Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and looked at Chen Qiyu and asked.

"If some people are really arrested during the thorough investigation of the customs case by the State Administration of Taxation, this kind of chaos will surely intensify. Can the Shuntian government office ensure the stability of the capital?"

Tariff case?

Hearing the emperor's decisive words, Han Yiliang was very excited. This was an important case that he had to supervise since he took office. If this could be done well, the authority of the National Tax Administration Department would be firmly established. Tax offices can play a very positive role.

But Chen Qiyu thought even more.

"Your Majesty."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qiyu bowed and said: "Before I jointly submit the memorial, I have summoned all the officials of Shuntian Prefecture to reach a consensus on the matter of the capital. Strict rectification will be carried out. Anyone who dares to threaten the stability of the capital will not be tolerated by the Shuntian Prefecture. !”

"As for the investigation to be carried out by the National Tax Administration, if anything happens during the investigation, the Shuntian Government Office will never sit idly by."

"Okay, then I'll just wait for the good news."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "During this period, the Qing family can keep in touch with Sun Qing. If there is any major turmoil, the law enforcement team of the Disaster Relief Office can be dispatched!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Chen Qiyu's eyes lit up, and his hanging heart dropped.

With Chen Qiyu in charge of the Shuntian government office, even if Han Yiliang found out something that shouldn't be investigated, Zhu Youxiao could be sure that the capital would not be in chaos.

Not to mention that here in the capital, there is also the Disaster Relief Office headed by Sun Chuanting. If they can't even solve such a thing, then Zhu Youxiao will have to think about how to rectify the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, I have another unkind request."

Han Yiliang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chen Qiyu, and then bowed to the emperor.

"speak."

Zhu You's speech is concise and concise.

"Since the establishment of the Zhili Department of National Taxation, I have followed His Majesty's will to recruit a group of brave tax collectors." Han Yiliang said in a sonorous tone: "It's just that these tax collectors have to supervise various places, and the customs cases to be investigated next are It is an important case and involves many people, so I am thinking about whether we can expand the scale of the tax collection..."

"Yes!"

Before Han Yiliang finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao directly stated his position, "The Qing family is only responsible for recruiting. During the period, we will need a certain amount of money for food expenses. If the National Tax Administration is unable to support it, I will allocate a special amount from internal funds!"

"I thank God for his grace!"

Han Yiliang suppressed his excitement and immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely investigate this case."

Since the Zhilili Department of National Taxation has been specially set up, Zhu Youxiao has never thought about letting him take charge of Chongwen Gate Taxation, which covers one-third of an acre. In the future, it will involve tax customs, industrial customs, inspection customs, and even customs. If there is, Zhu Youxiao intends to temporarily subordinate it to the National Tax Administration Department, so as to ensure that tax collection is in place.

Tax reform is an extremely complex matter.

Any discrepancy in any link may have serious consequences.

Regarding tax items such as land tax and capitation tax, Zhu Youxiao has no plans to intervene for the time being. He wants to clarify tax items such as commercial tax first.

Not to mention anything else, the commercial taxes levied by the Ming Dynasty are so low that it is unbelievable. It is no wonder that the Ming Dynasty’s treasury is always empty. Taxes that should be levied are not levied, and taxes that should not be levied are collected desperately. How can the central finance have no problems? Woolen cloth?

If it's just a tax, there's bound to be resistance.

No matter who it is, they will definitely not be willing to spit out the meat they put into their mouths.

Therefore, armed deterrence is very necessary! !

Han Yiliang has some abilities and good character. Zhu Youxiao wants to see how far the National Tax Administration headed by Han Yiliang can go!
