Chapter 19: Chen Yue's Heart

Chen Yue actually understands very well.

Most cotton cloth is not taxed.

First of all, the Ming officials and gentry did not pay taxes when they crossed the customs, and many people carried goods through the customs.

Yu Qian cleaned up the banknotes before.

It can be said that the Daming banknote customs is also good, and the customs is also good.

It has always been an explosion of tax payments as soon as it is cleaned up, but if it is not left unattended, it will remain at a fixed number and generally will not change.

But most people know about it.

Economic development has its own laws.

How is it possible to fix taxes above one number.

This is simply a large-scale embezzlement of taxes.

Although Zhu Qizhen has repeatedly asked the imperial history inspector, but what about it? It's just that a few embezzlers are investigated and punished every year, but this situation has not changed much.

Sometimes it also makes Zhu Qizhen feel that he is thinking wrong?

This time, it will be collected from the source of the tax, which will make many people unaccustomed to it.

Moreover, many factory owners who produce cotton cloth are actually white gloves pushed out by scholars, or side branches of their own families.

But Chen Yue knows very well how he rises step by step, although he has the help of nobles, but the biggest reason is that he is on top of changing the law and charging ahead. Never back down.

As for what kind of results this new law will have, this is not what Chen Yue cares about.

What he cares about is to let His Majesty in Beijing see his ability.

Wang Shu listened to Chen Yue's words and said, "Okay, let's not move for the time being, you let the wind go out first." ”

Wang Shu didn't like Chen Yue's personal qualities too much, but in this part of his life in Suzhou, he found that Chen Yue's ability was still there.

It is difficult for Wang Shu to bypass Chen Yue to promote the monopoly law.

If Wang Shu wants to bypass Chen Yue, he must find a way to transfer Chen Yue away, and if he does it according to this method. It will take a long time for him to lay out the personnel layout.

But Wang Shu couldn't wait.

He is a native of Shaanxi.

Now the Shaanxi disaster has left the treasury empty.

Although Wang Shu also knew that when he collected the taxes from the cotton cloth monopoly, he would not use it in Shaanxi.

But he still had a feeling of seizing the day in his heart.

Therefore, whether he likes Chen Yue or not, it does not prevent him from pinching his nose and cooperating with Chen Yue.

Chen Yue naturally actively released Wang Shu's thoughts.

Suddenly, a stone hit a thousand waves.

Many scholars and cloth owners were alarmed.

Xu Shenchun, who was in Songjiang, couldn't sit still. Immediately went to Suzhou.

As soon as a heavyweight like him arrived in Suzhou, he was immediately invited by many people.

These are all well-known figures in Suzhou's business community.

Of course, the figures in Suzhou's business community are not necessarily the top figures in Suzhou. The top person in Suzhou is Su

Jinshi from the state, Shi Dafu.

However, these people don't show up here if they all care about face.

After all, the business atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty today is not as open as that of the late Ming Dynasty, and more scholar families are operating in secret, but they also put a white glove on themselves.

"Gong Xu, you are a leader in the business world, and now you have to stand up for everyone in this matter." An old man said.

"Yes, it's Duke Xu, how much silver we have paid to Governor Chen over the years, and now he can't care. This is not going to work. ”

"Gong Xu, it's not that we are reluctant to give up money, but you also know that today, if you pay a cent of taxes today, there will be a hundred times the tax in the future, and there is really no way to do this business."

As soon as Xu Chunshen came, he was immediately overwhelmed by the words he didn't know.

Xu Chunshen could only say: "Listen to me, listen to me." ”

He spoke several times in a row, and then the noise was silenced.

Xu Chunshen took a few deep breaths and said, "First of all, don't say anything related to Governor Chen in the future, I didn't hear what I just said." But if someone says another thing in the future, I don't know him. ”

He knew Chen Yue too well.

Chen Yue is not a good stubble.

He really wants to take the bribe of Chen Yue as a handle to control Chen Yue, what will happen to Chen Yue in the future, Xu Shenchun doesn't know. But what happened to him, he knew very well.

No matter what happened to Chen Yue, it was not impossible to kill the Xu family.

The Ming Dynasty has always been a power society.

Even if the family has tens of millions of dollars, he can't shake a governor, even if he can really shake it, even if it is out of the collective interests of the bureaucrats, the successors will ignore the Xu family and be happy to see the Xu family fall off.

Chen Yue is a piece of shit, but within a few years, the Xu family, which has a family of tens of millions, is it clean and flawless?

Therefore, the first thing he should do is to unify everyone's minds, and he must not do such a thing at this time.

was reminded by Xu Chunshenyi.

The merchants gasped.

The real businessmen here, each of them are more than one million in the family, can mix into this class, if you still don't understand the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, who is really in charge of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to get to this day.

Naturally, I understand the stakes of what Xu Chunshen said.

Xu Chunshen immediately said: "Now that the imperial court is in difficulty, the northwest earthquake is great, it is really when I am waiting to donate, I take the lead in donating 500,000 taels, doesn't the imperial court just ask for money?" We'll just give it. ”

"At this time, you must not give up your money."

As soon as Xu Chunshen's opinion was raised, some people immediately agreed with it.

One person said: "I will pay 50,000 taels, but this money cannot be paid by all of us, the imperial court does not want a monopoly on cotton, and all other bulk goods must be monopolized, if you want to stop this thing, let them also contribute." ”

"Yes, yes." Several merchants were prepared to lobby the various guilds.

Then the guilds from all over the south of the Yangtze River collectively donated to the imperial court, and the total amount is expected to be around three million taels.

Why are Jiangnan merchants willing to bleed and pay money rather than collect taxes formally?

On the one hand, it is determined that the tax collection will not be cut off year after year, and on the whole, it must exceed this amount of bleeding.

On the other hand, it is also true that the government has too many problems in the tax process, and in many cases, the additional tax exceeds the regular tax.

When paying taxes, the money to be given to dredge up the relationship must exceed the regular tax plus additional tax.

Although the amount set by Wang Shu is very low, it is already thirty taxes and one. But for the merchants, the real tax to pay is several times higher than this.

Moreover, generally speaking, if a businessman makes a large-scale donation, the imperial court will not fail to give a return, and the Ming court has regulations when it was for disaster relief. For every 50 stone donated in Hebei and 100 stone donated in various parts of the south, you can be given a crown and a glorious body, that is, you can give some officials the treatment they have.

Although with the improvement of the Ming finances, it has been a long time since such a thing has happened.

But in general, the imperial court will not let the people below give it in vain.

So this account, they calculated it very clearly, they donate to the court, and the court will definitely have a return, but if they pay taxes and can't pay taxes, they will be blamed.

One is active, and can attack, retreat can defend, and the other is passive, and the loss is greater.

Naturally, they know what to choose?

It was difficult for them not to reach Wang Shu's ears with such a big movement.

Wang Shu naturally sent someone to invite Xu Chunshen.

Xu Chunshen didn't dare to slack off.

Prepare to go to your appointment immediately. It's just that I didn't go far just now when I was suddenly stopped.

But he saw a green-shirted servant and said, "My lord has an invitation." ”

Xu Chunshen immediately knew that it was Chen Yue who invited him, and he knew this person.

He didn't dare to slack off, immediately got out of the car, and followed the servant to push open the door of a restaurant, which had been wrapped, only Chen Yue was holding a wine glass and waiting for him.

Xu Chunshen immediately said, "The student meets the adult. ”

The reason why Xu Chunshen called himself like this was that he had the title of a prisoner.

When Daming fought against the tile spurs, it was time to sell the prison quota, although there were not many sales, but Xu Chunshen was fortunate to spend thousands of taels of silver to sell one.

To be honest, if you can spend money to sell an official body, Xu Chunshen is absolutely willing.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has not fallen to this point, and the name of this prisoner is what Xu Chunshen used when dealing with officials.

Chen Yue didn't look back, but drank all the wine in the wine glass and said, "You are very good." Do you know where you are? You know what to say and what not to say. Yes, that's good. ”
