"Last year, the merchant ships of the Southern Tianzhu States came from Qianli Shitang, and the city ship department delivered 300,000 catties of sugar, isn't this money for the imperial court?"

"What's the use of saying this? Taiyuanzi has to take a bite when he is dying, not a son of man! ”

"Lao Tzu cursed him and never recovered!"

"There is also 'Prince Sugar' in the East Palace of Hetao, when the Silk Road was not opened, the northern line of Jinshan was monopolized. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info How, at the moment, even the soup in Hedong and Hebei has to be remembered? That's what he Wen Dalin did? ”

In the west of Chang'an City, the noisy white gloves are under a lot of pressure. The news given by the main family has become clearer and clearer, Wen Yanbo, who said that he was going to die last year, survived Zhenguan for ten years, and offered Li Dong a strategy in the eleventh year of Zhenguan.

The white gloves didn't have the slightest right to speak, so they could only wait for the master to continue to give news. And the Hu merchants are even more miserable, they can only wait for these Han merchants to confide in the latest situation.

"Mother's in it! In addition to Wen Dalin, there is also Wei Xuancheng! Are they loyal ministers? Bah! ”

"This matter has nothing to do with Wei Xuancheng, he is a servant, what else can he do? This is Wen Dalin's demagogic emperor! ”

"Fuck it!"

……

The price of white sugar has decreased with the increase of gray sugar production, and the planting area of sugarcane has moved from Lingnan to Huainan. Although sugarcane in Huainan can only be planted for one summer, the yield is not low, and farmers who tear leaves diligently can often plant sugarcane up to seven feet long. Soybeans are also interplanted in the middle, and one acre of land not only has sugar production, but also can take a detour and only pay soybean tax. Gray sugar doesn't have to pay any tax, and the government can't collect it anyway.

That's how the policy loophole is exploited. Although the official word has two mouths, whether to accept it or not depends on the local chief. However, these sugarcanes are not grown by the farmers themselves, they are all the private property of large households, and as long as the local grain tax is guaranteed, the rest can be sloppy.

However, at present, due to Wen Yanbo's suggestion, Li Dong has three charters and is ready to make a knife in the sugar industry.

Since the fifth year of Zhenguan, the sugar industry has been raised for six years, and the fat can no longer be fattened.

For Lao Zhang, this doesn't matter at all, what is Li Dong's love.

On the fourth day of February in the 11th year of Zhenguan, an unlucky guy in Luoyang was exiled to Shazhou for "criticizing the government". This unlucky guy is a local businessman, Zhenguan began to operate the sugar shop in the seventh year, which is the white gloves of the Chai family, and ninety percent of the shop's profits are Chai Lingwu's, and only one percent is his.

The local merchants in Luoyang and the owners behind them began to look for ways to see what the imperial court's policies meant.

If the court comes to a powerful role, immediately divide the merchants by two, wash and peel the merchants, slaughter them and put them in front of the king.

Bang!

A bone china teacup from the Dongguan kiln was smashed to pieces, and Chai Lingwu stared at the empty door in front of him with a vicious gaze: "It's the people who got my Chai family!" ”

Gritting his teeth, he ran to the Forbidden Garden to ask to see the old chairman.

In this situation, the old chairman lost weight and continued his life because he often swims, and although he can't even do it overnight, he still has spare physical strength to play one.

When Chai Lingwu met him, the old chairman was studying the "First Book of Yin Training", teaching those female officials with heavy accents to learn Tang Mandarin......

"Waiweng, Luoyang is big, why did you find my Chai family's shop? It's not fair! ”

"Huh." The old chairman smiled, put down the "First Book of Music Training" in his hand, and looked at Chai Lingwu, "Shouldn't the businessman be punished?" ”

"Chaozhong is not my Chai family. Wai Weng, for example, how many princes don't do it? There is no sugar, and there is no raw silk? It's Wen Yanbo, doesn't his family make hemp material? The king of Taigu County back then, but he took his way! ”

"Oh, what a temper."

The old chairman stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, and then walked slowly, saying as he walked, "How is this palace better than your home?" ”

Chai Lingwu was confused, and said blankly: "How can this be compared?" The residence of the wai weng is majestic and majestic, and it is not comparable to the gateway of my home. ”

"Do you know how much it takes to repair this palace?"

Li Yuan's words made Chai Lingwu even more confused, shook his head, and said honestly: "I really don't know this, but the total will not be less." ”

"If I tell you that the newly built Forbidden Garden renovated in the past three years is converted into tens of millions, what does Erlang think?"

"Thousand ...... Ten million ......"

In the past few years, the tax collection was mainly silk cloth, and the expenditure was also a large number of silk hard currency, rather than Kaiyuan Tongbao. Of course, the number of Kaiyuan Tongbao issuance is still low, and the old accountants rarely master the current new bookkeeping method, plus to prevent theft, but the silk is easier to offset the account.

"Luoyang Palace, your uncle has always wanted to repair, there is ...... It's been six or seven years. Li Yuan smiled, "It's all money, understand?" ”

"But I also repaired the Taiji Palace......"

Chai Lingwu's face turned red, his uncle, the emperor, has spared no effort to renovate the palace in the past few years, and the money thrown into it is simply a huge amount. In fact, if there is no new income from various special products, according to this construction law, not to mention the bankruptcy of the internal government, even the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot afford it, and it must take out more than one year's tax.

Five years before Zhenguan, the annual tax was about two million yuan, and the bulk was mainly the practical tax on the resumption of production, and grain and cloth were the core of maintaining the operation of the Zhenguan Dynasty, which is why the Ran family found the cooperation of Empress Changsun and was able to get through the relationship immediately.

Even now, sugar, wine, tea, salt, and iron are combined, but they can't compare to grain and cloth.

To put it bluntly, the so-called life of the little people is two things: dressing and eating, eating and dressing.

However, times are changing, as an emperor who has tasted the sweetness, for the sake of fame, how can he go back, take taxes and cut the knife, and build a palace for himself? Since the profits of sugar, wine, tea, salt and iron can make him live a very nourishing life, why bother to block the farmers?

It's not that he doesn't know, Tian Mu is the foundation of his Li Tang.

If the "businessmen" are gone, they will not rebel, because they will trade in exchange for something else. But if the "peasant households" have no grain and no land, they will definitely rebel.

Wen Yanbo, who was dying, set the first charter for him was to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys", first find an unlucky guy to come out, kill a knife to see, if the monkeys are jumping happy, but they don't rush over with a stick, then it proves that this is a chicken that can be killed.

The chicken of the Chai family, with a knife, went down, let alone a frontal protest, let alone how Chai Shao was, the party actually ran to find the old chairman who was outdated, which shows its weakness.

After no one made any noise, Wen Yanbo's second charter to Li Dongding was "drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle", and Wei Zheng proposed a bill to re-include the intercropping property in taxes to increase the national treasury.

That is to say, how much sugarcane do you have per acre of land, in the past, you could only pay beans by taking advantage of policy loopholes and interplanting soybeans, but now it is not possible. Forty and a half percent of the sugarcane in an acre of land is tax.

Wen Yanbo's two charters, one is to see the hearts of the people, and the other is to see the essence. He is a natural official, or a person who has done all the way to Zaifu, and he is also a person who has played with Fang Tianwang, while Li Dong is holding a chicken killing knife in one hand, a cane harvesting knife in the other, and a knife in both hands, both hands are very hard......
