Huang Daozhou actually agrees with Liu Hongji's arrangement, and grinding and chirping is not his style.

He now believed that this young prince was dedicated to the court, but for the two guys in front of him who were pirates an hour ago, Huang Daozhou was very distrustful.

Hearing that he was likely to work with a group of pirates in the future, Huang Daozhou's heart was as uncomfortable as stuffing a mouse droppings.

"This Maritime Patrol Department is naturally under the control of the General Taxation Department, but the General Taxation Department needs to cooperate closely with the Patrol Department in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This king does not matter what your previous background is, but since you have accepted the appeasement of the imperial court and become an official of the imperial court, everything must be done with the imperial court, and corruption and bribery will be your biggest challenge.

The Holy Lord will give you official positions, money, and power, but this king has said this ugly thing in advance, this is not an easy job, if Jinyiwei and Dongchang find out that you have any illegal acts, this king will not tolerate it. ”

Liu Hong's expression gradually changed to seriousness, staring at Yang Liu and Zhong Bin as he spoke.

The functions and powers of the Maritime Patrol Department are similar to those of the Coast Guard, which is a garrison organization specially subordinate to the customs yamen, which is very necessary in Liu Hongchuan's view.

Huang Daozhou He is not worried, this guy is so ruthless that even he dares to report it, it is this group of newly recruited pirates, and they must be vaccinated first.

Slap me and give me a date, the ancients shouldn't have deceived me.

"Then the prince, what kind of official am I waiting for this patrol division?" Although Yang Liu was so happy in his heart, he still had to ask what he should ask, otherwise he wouldn't be able to brag to his brothers when he went back.

As soon as Yang Liu finished speaking, Zhong Bin also looked at Liu Hongjian with an expectant face.

“emmmm…… The highest official patrol envoy of the Maritime Patrol Department is tentatively set to be from the fourth grade, and this matter still needs to be discussed with the Holy Lord after the king returns to Beijing, but you need to have a one-year assessment period.

During the assessment period, Yang Liu was the acting patrol envoy from the sixth grade of Yulu, and Zhong Bin was the deputy patrol envoy from the seventh grade.

And you, Lord Huang, according to the meaning of this king, this chief tax officer should be designated as the third grade, but this can only be determined after this king returns to Beijing to face the saint, and you can know it. ”

Liu Honggradually thought about it for a moment and said.

Taxation is an extremely important part of the country whether it is now or in the future, and if the tax is done well, the imperial court can have silver, and with silver can it do more things that are conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood.

Yang Liu and Zhong Bin were overjoyed when they heard this, although they had never read the sage book, they also knew that the magistrate of a county was the seventh grade, and they had to study the sage book for ten years.

The two looked at each other and smiled happily, but also secretly swore that they would be worthy of this kindness, but if it was any other court official who came, it would definitely not fall on them to be ordered to rob such a good errand.

"Lord Wang, the commercial tax on import and export is under the control of the City Ship Division according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and we will ...... it."

"If the city boss is capable, can this king run so far to toss? Not to dismiss is already considered mercy, since they have the duty to welcome foreign vassal states, let's do it well, if they dare to find fault, you can directly let them impeach the king. ”

There are too many lice and it is not itchy, if the country is really not tolerated by the people of the world, life is not satisfactory in the world, the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats, and there is nothing wrong with being an idle prince, that is exactly the leisurely life he wants.

"You don't have to worry about these things, and tell the king the detailed terms of this tariff." Liu Hong gradually said again.

According to Liu Hongchuan's plan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai set up customs, and those who want to trade at sea in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty must be inspected by the nearest customs and pay taxes, and the imperial court will issue order flags and vouchers.

Lingqi showed all the forces that this ship was from the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to move this ship, you must weigh the strength of the country behind this ship.

The voucher is the evidence that the Maritime Patrol Department has paid the tariff during the routine inspection.

It's just that Liu Hongjian is not familiar with the specific amount of taxes and how to collect them.

Zheng Zhilong is very free and easy, playing a one-size-fits-all game, he never cares what the ship transports, whether it is ammunition or grain and rice, he treats everyone equally, a ship costs 3,000 taels, and Tong Su is not bullied.

But the imperial court must not play like this, the value of each ship's goods is different, there are too many drawbacks, and it is not conducive to commercial development in the long run.

"Lord Qiqi, according to the original regulations of the imperial court, the import and export tax is divided into ship money and goods tax.

According to the size of the ship, the large ship is 1,200 taels each, the medium ship is 960 taels, and the small ship is 450 taels, and the tax is charged according to the total price of the goods.

It's just ......," Huang Daozhou said here, as if he couldn't bear to speak.

"Just what?" Liu Hong gradually asked.

"It's just that there are official gifts in addition to the ship money, and there are bad rules in addition to the goods tax, which is considered fire consumption." Huang Daozhou seemed to be disdainful in his words, but this was a common problem of the city, he just wanted to see how this prince would deal with it.

"Official courtesy? Bad rules? Fire consumption? Liu Hong gradually frowned.

"Yes, my lord, although the amount of money charged varies according to the size of the ship, this official salute has reached a terrifying 1,950 taels, regardless of the size of the ship.

This bad rule is even more powerful, in addition to the goods tax, the bad rules have to pay another 10%, and even some individual tax officials secretly have to pay, and the payment also accounts for 10% of the total price of the goods. Huang Daozhou explained.

This is also a major reason why businessmen would rather take risks and choose smuggling than go to the city to pay taxes.

The government is too dark, the total value of a ship's cargo is 10,000 taels, and the officials can deduct 8,000 taels, so the ghost goes to the city!

"Listen to Inbrai." Liu Hong became angry and extremely unhappy, thinking that the urine of the bureaucracy had not changed at all for thousands of years.

"What did the prince say?" Huang Daozhou didn't understand a serious question.

"It's nothing, according to the regulations that this king proposed to the emperor before, the monthly salary of the third grade is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and all the silver taels will be issued, and they will not be discounted in kind.

Even from the foreign officials of Jiupin, there are twenty-five taels a month, which should be enough for a family to spend in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Huang. Liu Hong gradually asked knowingly.

"Enough, enough, enough, three taels of silver a month for the old man's family is enough, and one hundred and twenty taels is enough for the old man's family to eat for several years." Zodiac Zhou has no mouth to admit it.

If he is really able to do this errand, a few grandchildren in the family who are not competitive are estimated to be able to go to school, as well as the leaky house at home...... Huang Dacang thought.

"It's easy to do over there, and the king thinks that whether it is a tax or a tax, the ship money is still according to the original, 1,200 taels for the big ship, 960 taels for the medium ship, and 450 taels for the small boat.

It's just that this tax is not suitable, according to the king's view, it will be set at two percent first, and the rest of the king will go back to Beijing to discuss with the courtiers and the saints.

As for these official rituals, bad rules, and gifts, this king does not want to see these unhealthy practices in the future.

If any official dares to overcharge or ask for bribes, he will follow the ancestral system of our Ming Dynasty! Liu Hong smiled gloomily.

"Oh? I don't know which ancestral system? Although Huang Daozhou vaguely knew what the ancestral system was, he still admired the resolute young prince in front of him.

"Sixty taels, peel the skin and grass!"

PS: There is more, but it should be late, book friends can read it tomorrow.
