Yinhu eternal life

Gradually, the imperial court promulgated some new decrees, such as increasing the tax on goods. Of course, the issuance of the new decree was opposed. However, Kangxi had been in power for many years and held the military power in his hand.

Besides, Kangxi has his own confidants, these people naturally support Kangxi's government orders and know how to speak.

"Master Han speaks for the merchant in this way, and I really doubt whether Master Han has accepted the favor of the merchant."

"My lord Zhang, don't want to spout blood. I just think that the sudden increase in business tax will cause turmoil."

Of course, Mr. Han received tribute from businessmen every year, and he didn't dare to say that he could check his family's wealth to prove his innocence.However, he is now opposing so vigorously, not mainly because of those benefits, but because he has received a hint from the Master Mingxiang that he is taking the big head, and his own benefits are just a drizzle.

Even Suo'etu receives a lot of benefits from businessmen every year. Whoever does business doesn't try to manage it, doesn't find a shelter, and no matter how much property he has, he just finds a reason to copy it.

Now those who are making trouble in the court are those with low official positions, and the people behind them will not be in such a hurry to end. Kangxi is most taboo about collusion between officials and businessmen.

"These businessmen are sheltered by the state, and of course they have to pay taxes. Over the years, they have already taken advantage of it."

"..."

No matter how noisy the court was, Kangxi had already made up his mind.The national treasury was empty, and money was needed everywhere, and those businessmen with a lot of money fell into his eyes.

Although the idea is determined, how to do it specifically still needs to be explored.Kangxi summoned some courtiers in private, and discussed many times about how to reduce the resistance of merchants, how to prevent merchants from making false accounts, tax evasion, etc.

In the hot July, those wealthy businessmen received an order that made them feel impatient. Starting from this year, they had to hand over part of every profit they made to the imperial court.

Of course, these businessmen are unwilling, but following the news, those who pay high taxes will be rewarded by the court and may become imperial merchants.The profit on the account will also be checked by different people. If someone tampers with the account, the fine will be light, and it is not impossible to ransack the house and go to jail.

Of course, Kangxi is still very used to giving both kindness and power. He adopted Yinhu's opinion and introduced a credit system. If a merchant pays taxes honestly, his credit will increase. When the credit reaches a certain value, the merchant can also participate in the imperial examination. Even become an official.

The status of businessmen has always been very low. Although they are rich, they are not qualified to wear some expensive fabrics, and they are inferior to others when they go out to parties.Using money to support poor scholars, giving daughters to officials as concubines, and bringing a large amount of dowry are all means of investment by businessmen.

Now there are fair and honest ways to invest in yourself and change your status, this sweet date makes businessmen flock to it.

"I, Hu, have always been law-abiding. If the court asks us to pay taxes, I will definitely pay them honestly. Brother Tian, ​​don't be confused. This is an imperial decree. Don't think about playing tricks when you don't care about money. That early bird was killed to scare the monkeys." The businessman surnamed Hu touched the jade wrench finger in his hand and said earnestly, seeing that the two families had a good relationship, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

"Hehe, I'm timid, how dare I do that. Brother Hu, your brother Yu is like you. He has been smart since he was a child. If you ask a good teacher to teach him to read, maybe you can become the number one father, even if you want to be an official. It’s not that I dare not think about it.”

Hu Yanqing picked up his teacup, took a sip, and didn't say anything to what the businessman surnamed Tian said. At this time, he didn't want to be as modest as usual.He himself has studied well since he was a child, and it is his greatest regret not to be able to take the imperial examination.Now that his son has hope, of course he will work hard to get it. The last thing he lacks is money.

Tian Bai is also cheerful, his family doesn't have such a smart child, but his son is not good enough, he can still look forward to his grandson, there is always something to look forward to.Even the imperial court commendation is what he wants very much. As a businessman, if he has money, he desires fame even more.If he is registered in the imperial court, others will be a little scruples when they want to touch him. Although he is usually stingy, he is still generous at this time.

Regardless of whether these merchants are willing or unwilling, the imperial court's order has been issued, and they can only persuade themselves to be more open. Didn't the imperial court also give benefits?Although I don't know when this benefit will come to me, it's better than nothing.

It was a scorching hot day, and the air was stuffy. Even wearing light clothes, it was a bit difficult to breathe.

Ice had been placed in the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi raised his hand, and the maid stopped the fan knowingly.Kangxi also stopped writing the memorial, stood up and walked around for a while, this was Yinhu's order, telling him not to review the memorial for a long time.

Kangxi's heart was sweetened by his son's caring instructions, and Kangxi was also very obedient, shouldn't he start to rest now?

Although Yinhu is not afraid of the heat, he doesn't like this kind of weather either. Seeing that the sun outside is not so harsh, he wandered to Kangxi's place.
