At this time, Shen Mo was also in the process of thinking.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke and asked a few questions that made everyone completely confused.

He first signaled Wen Siniang, the silkworm breeder, and then asked the lady: "How long does it usually take for the silkworm to form cocoons until it breaks out of the cocoon?"

"Fourteen days, if the weather is warm, thirteen days."

At this time, the fan wife suddenly shook all over and almost subconsciously answered the question.

Then she calmed down and added: "So every time we sell cocoons, every silkworm farmer is anxious.

Even if people lower the price, we have to bear the pain of selling it."

"Because once the spring silkworm breaks out of its cocoon, the cocoon can no longer be reeled and it will be worthless.

So if we don’t want to sell the cocoons when they see the price is low, we can only take them home and make silk."

"And we have to hurry up and sell it when we make silk.

Otherwise, if the New Si becomes Chen Si, it will still be a loss if it turns into a New Si."

"So that's how it is..." Seeing the commander nodding while saying, then he looked at Long Li'er and Zhang Jiutai again.

"Report the amount of silk you stock now," Shen Mo continued: "It is the silk that is woven by our Tongzhou textile factory and is ready to be sold overseas."

"I have 450,000 horses here..." As soon as Long Li'er finished speaking, she saw Zhang Jiutai also interjected: "I have 650,000 horses here... Commander you!"

At this time, Zhang Jiutai had just reported his inventory figures.

But he seemed to think of something suddenly, and his eyes widened in horror! At this time, Zhang Jiutai subconsciously made a "bang" and the chair sounded, and he suddenly stood up! "Dad, sit down! I was so shocked at such an old age, can I bear it?"

At this moment, Miss Zhang Yiru gave Zhang Jiutai a light look.

It was not until this time that Zhang Jutai realized that it was his daughter reminding him.

After taking a deep breath, he slowly sat on the chair.

At this moment, Zhang Jiutai's heart was already churning like boiling oil on a pot of boiling oil!... The question that the commander asked just now was actually the inventory of Tongzhou Textile Industrial Park and Zhang Jiutai's Yangzhou Silk Textile Factory, which combined the inventory of both parties was equivalent to all the spot silk stocks in Tongzhou.

The commander asked about this only one purpose, which was to use cheap silk woven from Tongzhou loom to impact the Jiangnan silk market! If he really did this, it would be a big disaster! At this time, Mr. Zhang Jiutai was shocked by the tragic consequences that this incident would cause! At this time, Shen Mo shook his head and smiled at Mr. Zhang and said, "This is just a backup method, so old man doesn't have to panic."

"I know better than you in my heart what consequences will be caused by using cheap silk to impact the Jiangnan market."

After hearing Shen Mo's words, Zhang Jiutai nodded immediately.

He knows his son-in-law the most.

No matter what he does, he will never let the people suffer. Zhang Jiutai is absolutely confident in this regard.

Zhang Jiutai had just breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Mo again, preparing to listen to what the son-in-law said.

...She saw Shen Mo say lightly: "If the court rectifies the administration, there is absolutely no hope for this matter."

"I want Lin'an to send a group of imperial envoys to punish corrupt officials in the local area.

It's as ridiculous as sending a hungry wolf to restrain a group of fat pigs."

"I can even imagine that when they left Lin'an, they looked clean and honest, and when they went back, they pulled them back with a ship full of gold and silver."

"And these wealth used to bribe officials will eventually be squeezed back from the people intact by the silk merchants and flow back into their money bags... so this method is not feasible."

...At this time, Shen Mo said seriously to everyone: "When talking about the adjustment of Jiangnan silk weaving industry, I have an idea..." "If you want me to say, I will directly ask the emperor to ask the court to cancel the body tax and silk tax of silk farmers, and permanently cancel the and purchase system."

"At that time, when the people at the bottom of the industry raise silkworms and silk, they will not have to pay any heavy taxes... In other words, they have zero burdens to raise silkworms."

When Shen Mo said this, he sighed and said, "After all, the matter of raising silkworms or not raising silkworms is like robbing them."

"If we want the people to benefit from raising silkworms, the first thing we need to do is to choose them themselves. Should we raise this silkworm or not?"

...When Shen Mo said this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became warm.

Later, Zhang Yiru and Yang Yanbin, two of Shen Mo's personal disciples, began to ask his teacher sharply. The first question was that Yang Yanbin asked: "Why did the imperial court agree to your memorial for exempting taxes from the teacher?

This is a large amount of fiscal revenue! It’s gone in vain, how could the emperor agree?”

"Because while I exempted the silk tax, I have to take back these taxes in the field of silk circulation."

At this time, Shen Mo smiled and said, "In other words, the people who raise sericulture silk do not have to pay taxes anymore, but whoever sells and sells those silks will pay taxes."

“For example, those big businesses that monopolize the silk industry.

When they passed by the tax controls controlled by my disciples in Tianji Camp, they had to pay me enough commodity tax."

"I can assure the emperor that the silk commodity tax collected from the tax will definitely exceed those messy taxes such as the silk tax, and the sum of all the total."

"Because I can guarantee that after the heavy taxes added to the people of Jiangnan silkworm industry, even 30% of them were not handed over to the court, and all the hungry wolves who bought official positions as business!"

… “So that’s it! You passed on the taxes that the silkworm raisers have to pay to those silk merchants.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi asked thoughtfully: "If the court profits, it will receive more taxes, but the people will never have to pay any taxes."

"But even so, the previous problem still exists and it has not been solved at all, teacher?"

"If those silk merchants refuse to buy private silk, they will force all silk weavers to stop operating.

What should I do if the people’s cocoons then?

Once you can’t sell the cocoon, the people will immediately cause civil unrest!”

"That's why I asked Wen Siniang how long it takes to get from the spring silkworms forming cocoons to breaking out of the cocoon."
