Chapter Ninety-Six: Host-Guest Translocation

What's more, Luo Sigong also believes that Zhu Changluo has no intention of ending up together, otherwise, he would not have come to this Nanzhen Fusi today!

"Commander Luo can see it clearly, if it is usual, I am afraid that the emperor will really not take care of this matter, but the problem is, now is an extraordinary time, Commander Luo is not afraid of accidents?"

Zhu Changluo is now calm, and there is a little more mystery in his tone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Seeing that Luo Sigong's eyes were a little confused, Zhu Changluo spoke again.

"In this case, this king might as well go into more detail, Sun Xian has a lot of capable people, Wang Zhong, Zhao Qin, Cao Jin, Lu Kun, these people have left the Beijing Division since last year, what are they doing, Commander Luo won't know it! These days, Sun Xian has been ignoring the East Factory, so that he has been repeatedly caught by Jinyiwei in the wrong place, why, didn't Commander Luo go to investigate? ”

Luo Sigong's brows furrowed, speaking of which, he also felt that something was wrong, Sun Xian's temperament was clear to him, and he would repay it!

But recently, Dongchang has been very low-key, even if there is a dispute with Jinyiwei, it is also on the defensive, Luo Sigong only thinks that Zhang Cheng is busy targeting Zhu Changluo these days, so he doesn't even dare to do things in a high-profile manner with Sun Xian.

But when Zhu Changluo said this, he suddenly reacted!

"Mining tax?"

Admiral Sun Xian Dongchang, and the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, naturally there are countless capable people under his command, but the few pointed out by Zhu Changluo are all mine tax eunuchs who have been sent to various places, Wang Zhong is in Hengling, Zhao Qin is in SX, Lu Kun is in HN, and Cao Jin is in ZJ, and their main task is to collect mining taxes from all over the country.

The so-called mining tax is a combination of mining and taxation, which is mainly levied on the mining industry, because the original household department did not have this tax, so the emperor directly sent the internal supervisor to collect it, so as to enrich the inner treasury.

Luo Sigong is very clear about this, but in his opinion, this is just a trivial matter, what kind of climate can a few mining tax eunuchs become? So he never cared about it, but now that Zhu Changluo deliberately mentioned it, it made him a little suspicious, is there anything else in this?

"Yes, mine tax! As far as I know, the reason why Sun Xian didn't spend too much effort in Dongchang these days is that the emperor handed over the errand of collecting the mining tax to him, and now the mining tax eunuchs are about to return to the capital, it is when Sun Xian is at the peak of his momentum, plus the battle of Liaodong, His Majesty's inner library has long been empty, and at this moment Luo commanded to move this hero who brought silver to the emperor, I don't know if it will make the emperor happy? ”

Zhu Changluo nodded and explained in detail, his expression was very cautious.

"Hmph, Your Highness is underestimating Your Majesty, even if the mine tax eunuch is about to return to Beijing, what can he do?"

To be honest, Luo Sigong really didn't take this into account before, so he was pointed out by Zhu Changluo, his face was a little unbearable, and he snorted coldly.

Zhu Changluo was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised by Luo Sigong's reaction, but then he remembered that it seemed that this was the first time that Shenzong had spread the mining tax to the whole country, and it was just a small fight before, which was also an important reason why Sun Xian was in charge of the mining tax and did not cause a comprehensive backlash from the courtiers.

It is also the reason why Zhu Changluo can easily inquire about things clearly, but what makes him a little strange is that he has the impression that the idea of Shenzong to start the mining tax is from the twenty-fourth year of Wanli, and for some reason, it has been advanced by more than a whole year!

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this court, including the cabinet ministers, including the Jinyiwei, and even the emperor himself, did not expect how huge the benefits of the mining tax would be!

"Commander Luo might as well guess, how much silver can be brought back from the mining tax this time?"

Zhu Changluo smiled mysteriously and asked playfully.

"The left is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, can it still turn the sky?"

It seemed that Zhu Changluo's playful gaze was not very comfortable, Luo Sigong said in a sullen voice.

Even in his opinion, it is impossible for a few mine tax eunuchs to be hundreds of thousands of taels!

You must know that in the early years of Wanli, the annual income of the entire imperial court was only four million taels of silver.

If these mining tax eunuchs can bring back a full 10% of the annual income, it is already amazing!

You must know that this annual income is not attributed to the treasury, but to the emperor's inner treasury.

"Hundreds of thousands of taels?"

Zhu Changluo had a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Then what if I tell you that the silver taels brought back by the mining tax supervisor this time are as much as three million taels? Do you still think you can't turn the sky upside down? ”

"It can't be!"

Luo Sigong's face turned pale, and his expression also changed.

What does three million taels mean? Half of the annual revenue of the treasury! These mining tax eunuchs have only been out for half a year, how can they loot so many silver taels? Nothing short of nonsense!

Zhu Changluo's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically.

"Commander Luo doesn't believe it?"

"On what basis should I believe? Could it be that His Royal Highness, a newly crowned county king, can be more powerful than my Jinyiwei's cavalry? ”

Luo Sigong really didn't believe it, not just because the news was too shocking.

It also comes from his strong self-confidence, how big is the power of Jinyiwei, no one in this world knows better than Luo Sigong, three million taels of silver is enough to displace hundreds of people, if Sun Xian dares to provoke a civil uprising for the sake of silver, how many lives are not enough to compensate, not to mention, if there is really such a big movement, how can Jinyiwei not know!

What's more, if it is really like what Zhu Changluo said, then Sun Xian is almost equivalent to holding a Danshu iron coupon in his hand, and anyone who deals with him at this time will only provoke the emperor's endless anger, and Jinyiwei is no exception!

You must know that there was a considerable dispute among the courtiers whether to fight the Korean War at the beginning, and the main reason was that the treasury was empty, which was not enough to support a war, and the biggest reason why this battlefield was able to win a big victory was that the emperor used the silver taels in his inner treasury and smashed all his savings over the years into it in exchange for such a victory.

This is also the reason why the courtiers tolerate the existence of the mining tax eunuchs, and the emperor's temperament, Luo Sigong knows very well, good face, likes luxury, no silver is an unbearable thing for him, and now there is half of the income in front of him, if anyone dares to stumble in this matter, he will definitely not know how to die!

"Jinyiwei's cavalry is certainly powerful, but Commander Luo thinks that Dongchang is not a vegetarian? These days, Sun Siam has suffered so many dark losses in Jinyiwei, with his temperament, is he the one who swallows the bitterness by himself? Besides, if it is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, is it worth Sun Xian personally escorting? The truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, presumably Commander Luo knows more than me! ”

Zhu Changluo stood up and said lightly.

He believes that by now, Luo Sigong should have his own judgment, he doesn't know what Sun Xian has in mind, but one thing is certain, what he said about three million taels is just a conservative estimate, this is only the first year of the mining tax, these eunuchs still have some restraint, and when the scourge of the mining tax is the most rampant in a few years, it can almost be said that they are doing everything to collect money.

You must know that in the entire Wanli period, the silver from the mine tax alone was as much as 30 million taels!

So he is confident that this time the actions of the East Factory will only be big and not small!

"I believe that with the strength of Jinyiwei, it is not difficult to find out these things, Commander Luo might as well go and find out first, this king is waiting for Commander Luo in the mansion!"

If it is said that Zhu Changluo's handle has always been in Luo Sigong's hands, then now, it can be said that the host and guest are reversed, Sun Xian is returning with this great achievement, and the edge is flourishing, if Zhu Changluo hands over the evidence of Jinyiwei's handling of Dongchang to him at this moment, as long as he adds oil and vinegar, and says that Jinyiwei's behavior is aimed at mining taxes, he can definitely send Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, to Liaodong to fill the army.

Therefore, he thought that Luo Sigong should be able to weigh the balance clearly.

Looking at Zhu Changluo's figure walking out of the warm pavilion, Luo Sigong's face was cloudy, and after a while, he beckoned, and two figures wearing flying fish suits flashed out and knelt down in front of Luo Sigong.

Luo Sigong commanded a few words with a pale face, and the two disappeared again......
