In fact, there is no way to choose Zeng Shengwu. Zhu Yijun really couldn't find a suitable candidate. The Northwest Military Reform is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's military reform and a pilot project. If the subsequent military reform is not done well, it will be impossible.

Zhu Yijun has chosen someone for a long time, and after searching for him, he is the most suitable person.

Although Zeng Shengwu is the popular candidate for entering the cabinet this time, the popularity means that he has not yet entered. Who knows what the result will be like these days? As for Wang Xijue's entry into the cabinet, it was because Wang Xijue proposed to open a ban on the vassal state.

If it weren't for Wang Xijue's proposal, Zhu Yijun wouldn't have let Wang Xijue enter the cabinet anyway.

Although all three of them were included in the cabinet, it was a good story for civil servants to spread, but for Zhu Yijun, this was not a good thing. However, Wang Xijue was preparing to open the ban, and Zhu Yijun was also planning to let Wang Xijue preside over the ban, so letting him enter the cabinet was naturally the only way.

However, Zhu Yijun was not unprepared. In fact, once the cabinet was in a tendency to get out of control, Zhu Yijun was ready to dismiss Shen Shixing and Yu Youding.

Things in the cabinet and the northwest were calmed down, the court returned to normal, the disputes during this period also dissipated, and everything returned to normal, which made the court officials calm and calm again.

But those who understand know that there is another headache next, that is, Yangshiyin.

All scholars have to pay taxes, and officials and gentry pay food together. Now it is time to collect taxes. Whether they can collect them is the key to this policy. However, after the case in Yangzhou, there are probably not many people who dare to resist.

In fact, the officials Zhang Ju is a combat-ready team arranged in various places.

Starting from clearing the accounting and land, these people were the backbone forces. Compared to when Emperor Wanli sent a mining prison in his previous life, these local officials were still interested in the court. The Ming Dynasty did not completely lose control. Although there would be twists and turns, Zhu Yijun was still optimistic about the prospects.

Taxation Division.

Wang Yongji stood in the lobby of the tax department with a blank expression on his face, and his eyes swept over the officials in the lobby.

There were more than a dozen officials present, including the Chief of the Taxation Department of the Thirteen Provinces, the Chief of the General Taxation Department, and Xing Shangzhi, the commander of the Jinyiwei. The atmosphere inside the room was very solemn, and everyone was waiting for Wang Yongji to say.

"I only say a few points!" Wang Yongji sat behind the desk and said with a heavy face.

"First point, this autumn tax is the first time our tax department collects taxes. No matter how you do, the tax must be collected. I tell you that if the taxes of poor people cannot be paid, they can be appropriately reduced."

"But every reduction requires a written off, so that the official can find that someone abuses his power, and you know what the outcome will be."

"I must collect the taxes of the gentry. This is a fish scale book. If anyone cannot collect them, he will bear the consequences. Whoever dares to use the taxes of the poor people to offset the taxes of the gentry will bear the consequences."

"There is only one principle. You cannot force poor people too much, so that the gentry has the opportunity to cause trouble. Anyone who is affected by disasters or owes taxes will only be charged this year. If it is really difficult, you can report and waive the owed taxes."

Everyone bowed quickly and said, "The official understands!"

Wang Yongji nodded, and then said, "The second point is to verify the number of scholars in all places. Yangshiyin must be rewarded and reimbursed. Those who dare to embezzle and conceal the news will end up with you."

"The third point is that the fish scale book I have in my hand is very complete, but I don't believe that I am the only one in the Ming Dynasty."

"Investigate, check this official. Anyone who has hidden land will be fined. The amount of the fine is 50% of the land price. If you do not pay, the land will be confiscated directly. If you don't pay, you will discuss this matter and raise your spirit."

Wang Yongji glanced at everyone and said directly: "This is the assessment standard of the Taxation Department, and I think you all know it."

"If you do it well, you will be promoted to a title and you will have a lot of bonuses at the end of the year. It will be fine to buy a house and take a concubine. If you can't do it well, don't say these things, it's not certain whether your mind is there or not. I am ugly in front of me. If anyone dares to make a mistake, then it's better to be prepared to be punished."

"Don't say that you don't make any mistakes!"

This sentence was learned by Wang Yongji from Zhu Yijun, and he took it out and used it directly at this time. Of course, everyone present understood the meaning of this sentence. The key is that most of them are from internal factories, and of course they know what this errand means.

"Okay, let's go back, I'm waiting for your good news!"

Following Wang Yongji's words, everyone dispersed, and then left the capital that day and rushed to various places quickly.

When everyone left, Wang Yongji turned to look at Xing Shangzhi and said with a smile: "Master Xing, this time our tax department needs the help of the Jinyiwei. I hope Master Xing will support you!"

The last time I registered a business certificate in Beijing, Xing Shangzhi got the benefits of Wang Yongji, so now he naturally has to repay his kindness.

In addition, the Taxation Department's affairs were still ordered by the emperor this time, and Xing Shangzhi also came to help with it with the order. If the Tax Department does a good job, the more benefits he will have. If the Tax Department does not do well, the more miserable his fate will be.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang, our Jinyiwei is definitely not vague!" Xing Shangzhi said, patting his chest,

"I have already let the Jinyiwei out. In addition to my official position in the capital, other provinces and officials have also sent confidants to coordinate with local staff. At that time, they will definitely support the Taxation Department and will never make any mistakes."

Wang Yongji nodded and said with a smile: "It's so good!"

The Taxation Department's actions were so big that the court naturally could not have known that the people in the officialdom became nervous again.

Everyone knew that this was not a small matter, and they were worried about this mistake. However, after the Northwest won, Zhu Yijun's power rose sharply, and the Jingying was also famous everywhere, which had long wiped out the previous decline.

With such military power, there is no need to worry about someone rebelling.

In fact, this time the target was mainly gentry. Poor self-cultivated farmers even had tax exemptions, which was to avoid someone instigating poor people to rebel. As for the rebellion of gentry, the scholar failed to rebel for three years, this is not something that was said.

If there is no rebellion involving the people, it is rebellion and rebellion, and it can be pacified.

With the rebellion involving the lower class, it is an uprising, and the uprising will be difficult to deal with.

The other places were not deeply touched, but the Taxation Department of Shuntian Prefecture began to collect taxes, so the people in the capital naturally felt deeply touched. The first one to pay the tax was the imperial village, and the first one to pay the tax was the imperial village, and then the nobles and honorary relatives were the ones.

The emperor paid the taxes, and they were not stupid either, so they paid the taxes obediently.

In fact, their energy is now concentrated on the northwest. The last time the Office of the Interior was impeached, they were afraid that things would be ruined. Now that the limelight has passed, things in the northwest will naturally be brought up again.

They don’t even see the little land tax compared to the northwest.

The royal family and nobles and relatives paid taxes, but the gentry in Shuntian Prefecture dared not to pay! They were in Shuntian Prefecture, and naturally they were deeply moved by the current situation. The court was extremely strong. If they did not pay taxes, they would probably be arrested in the next step.

In fact, everyone is looking at one place, and only one place can collect taxes, so there is no big problem in other places. This place is Shandong.

First, there is Yansheng Gong Mansion in Shandong, which is the Kong family, and second, there is Huang Chao in Shandong!

In history, Shandong can definitely rank among the top in rebellion. Not to mention the far-reaching ones, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the massive uprising was Tang Sai'er in Shandong. During the Tianqi period, there was Xu Hongru from Shandong. In short, this was an evil place.

The tax revenue in Shuntian Prefecture was on track, and Wang Yongji and Xing Shangzhi rushed to Shandong together.

Capital City, Internal Affairs Office.

The atmosphere of the Interior Government Office is particularly solemn today, because today is the day of the Northwest Textile Factory Conference. Ten selected nobles gathered at the Interior Government Office to discuss the opening of a wool textile factory in the Northwest.

Of course, the ten nobles from the families are naturally the managers of their own families.

Li Zhongxing walked into the room with a smile, hugged everyone and said, "Hello everyone, don't give me gifts, everyone sit down!"

In this room, a round table is obviously very obvious. There are many chairs placed behind the table. Everyone sat on the chairs, looking like they were preparing to have a meal. Everyone felt that it was very fresh in sitting like this. After hearing Li Zhongxing's words, they sat back again.

Li Zhongxing glanced across everyone's faces and said with a smile: "I think everyone has heard about the business license, so I won't talk nonsense."

"Twenty-hundred thousand taels!" Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "The operating license fee of 200,000 taels for each company is 10 years. Within ten years, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not issue the second batch of business licenses. I believe everyone knows what this means."

In fact, this practice is very common in some special industries in later generations, and it is not something you can do just by wanting to do.

Ten families, each with 200,000 taels, were given to the emperor. Li Zhongxing knew that the emperor would use this money to reform the military in the northwest. It seemed to be a deposit for the deposed soldiers. Those military households had nothing, and you would have to give things to the land.

Li Zhongxing wanted this money to be justified and really thought the emperor would give it to you for nothing.

The managers of each government were stunned, but they were not stupid. Then they reacted and nodded repeatedly and said, "It should be, it should be."

This business is not a simple business at all. They can't understand the mentality, and they will know this before they come. Not to mention taking out 200,000 taels, they have to take it no matter how much you want the emperor to think, and you have to admit it even if you pinch your nose.

Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Li Zhongxing smiled and nodded: "Since that's the case, you guys will hand over the money as soon as possible, and then we can set off for the northwest."

Everyone nodded repeatedly: "Everyone listens to Lord Li!"
Chapter completed!
