Chapter 498: All the household members are good people

In recent days, the court has been very lively.
Gein Hubu Shangshu suddenly proposed to collect tourist business tax in Beijing.
It not only increased taxes for the imperial court, but also provided convenience for the small merchants and vendors in the world, so that they could openly sell and set up their stalls, and no longer be afraid of the yakuza chase and arrest.
Because of this, the court was about to quarrel.
The hundreds of military officers in the Chaos and Shang Dynasty unanimously unanimously agreed, and concentrated firepower on the upper and lower part of the household.
They scolded them for taking advantage of the money, and acting more and more prosperous, they actually did such a low-level thing as fighting for profit with the small people.
The tourist tax is only a few dollars. For that little money, even the literati's vigor and morals are no longer needed and shameless.
What's more, personally attacked Lord Shangshu Zhao.
The Hubu Shang wrote accusations against his colleagues with a bitter expression on his face.
"The Ministry of Households is acting, why do you need to explain to you."
The words came out like a hornet's nest.
Buzzing, countless hornets are flying in the ears, and they will be stabbed if they are not careful. Even if you die, it will hurt for several days.
The Ministry of Households is almost defeated below the Ministry of Households Shangshu. Only Hubu Shangshu is still strong.
"You are opposed to the collection of tourist tax, because you want to continue to punish the people with harsh policies and squeeze the last bit of the family's assets. Forcing people to ruin their families, they say that your hearts are just what you want."
"slander!"
"absurd!"
"Nonsense!"
Hubu Shangshu: Ha ha!
"Anyone with a good conscience knows how to make a decision in this matter, which is detrimental to the interests of the ordinary people. Or is it the old rules that harm the interests of the ordinary people?" How many people, squeeze more money, the literati's vigor and integrity are all gone, do you want to have a face?"
"Blood!"
"For a little profit, right and wrong are reversed. The merchant tax is only a few dollars, and the household department's food is too ugly."
There is one person from Hubu Shangshu, against a group.
The two sides have been arguing for ten days.
During this period, Emperor Wen De didn't say a word.
If you quarrel with you, I will deal with memorials while listening to your quarrel.
Yes.
Emperor Wen De is so wonderful.
There was a quarrel in the court. One time someone took off his stinky shoes and threw them at the other party, triggering the biggest fight among courtiers since the new emperor ascended the throne.
All the officials started fighting, and Emperor Wen De was still sitting on the dragon chair, carrying a pen to handle the memorial.
Emperor Wen De hesitated, "Fight, fight desperately. Beat it to death."
Is this what the dignified emperor should say?
As the emperor, shouldn't he sternly scold the absurdity, behave in a decent way, and then retreat with his sleeves?
That's what the Emperor Xian did.
As a result, when he arrived at Emperor Wen De, he did not play the cards according to the cards.
The civil and military officials are all depressed.
After the quarrel, Emperor Wen De didn’t even give a decent response. Is this quarrel still interesting?
"Aren't you noisy?"
Emperor Wen De looked at the quiet courtier and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, please decide."
The courtiers have learned well, and since the noisy is not famous, let the emperor be the master.
Emperor Wen De pressed his hands on the edge of the table, "It's really rare, I finally wanted to ask my opinion. I thought I was a carrot chapter. You quarreled out the regulations. I only need to stamp a chapter. As for my Thoughts are more important than those of Aiqing."
"Your Majesty!"
"Not guilty, not guilty. Don't you just point to the law and not blame the people, and discard me like a seal."
Emperor Wen De was so mean that he forced hundreds of civil and military officials to kneel down to apologize.
How could Emperor Wen De easily let go of these people, ridiculing the kung fu of a cup of tea in one breath, and stopped talking until he was thirsty.
After drinking half a bowl of tea, Emperor Wende asked lightly, "Do you think that if the capital is levied on tourist business tax, how much income can be earned in a month?"
The officials looked at each other.
In the end, an old man stood up tremblingly and said: "It's only one or two thousand taels. For this point of money, the court has no face, it's unreasonable."
Emperor Wende laughed and asked Master Shangshu Zhao, "According to your household department's estimate, how much money can you have in a month?"
In fact, Hubu Shangshu didn't have much hope of reporting tourist tax.
These days, he only held on to the belief that he was fighting against everyone by himself.
He said an estimated high number, "about fifty thousand taels."
In fact, his heart is estimated to be two to three thousand taels.
But no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also meat, as long as it is meat, it cannot be let go. This is the unswerving belief of the head of the household department of Shangshu for so many years.
Emperor Wen De, like his Lao Tzu, was also a person who got into the eyes of money.
Who makes the country poor!
The first emperor wanted his daughter-in-law to help earn money to build a three great palace.
Regardless of twelve thousand taels, or three to fifty thousand taels, there are hundreds of thousands taels in a year.
what is this?
This is all money.
White floral silver.
Emperor Wen De, who was short of money and madness, supported the levy of tourism business tax from the very beginning.
It's just that he didn't express his opinion. He first made the courtiers quarrel and let him make the final decision.
It can be seen that the governance methods of Emperor Wen De and his Laozi are completely different.
The majesty of the emperor established by the first emperor with his head, suppressed hundreds of officials and acted arbitrarily.
Emperor Wende didn't kill so much, and for the time being, he didn't have the majesty of the emperor as Xiandi, so he used water to polish his kung fu, putting hundreds of officials on the grinding wheel.
In the past, the civil and military officials were all rascals, rascals, and shameless.
Now they know that they were narrow-minded in the past.
Emperor Wen De is not only shameless, but also extremely patient.
It can be said that in the history books, Emperor Wende's water milling skills are at least ranked in the top five among the emperors. In time, it might be in the top three.
When encountering such an emperor with a weird temperament, Baiguan suddenly felt cold and bad about the future.
Emperor Wende made a decisive decision, "Since you all seek my opinion, I hope that I will be the master of this matter. I will naturally not let you down.
That, the Ministry of Households, and the travel business tax will be tested for a month to see the effect, if there are inappropriate adjustments. One month later, we will discuss the matter again.
During this period, who would dare to say a word of nonsense, nothing to do, and waste time between me and the courtiers, I will never be polite to him. "
The implication is that during the trial period, who would dare to push him, Emperor Wen De didn't mind killing a few people at Caishikou in order to find a chance to gain the throne.
Others are looking for lucky things, auspicious words.
Those who are emperors are all wonderful works, using human heads to make their heads is the only one in the world.
The Ministry of Households still led in unison.
The civil and military officials also temporarily truce.
And wait for a month after the trial to see the effect.
From beginning to end, Hubu Shangshu did not mention road construction. Shaofu Jialing didn't mention it either.
As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.
First solve the tourist tax and see if the tax collection system planned by Gu Jiu can work, and it is not too late to talk about road construction.
One-time, can not give too much stimulation to the civil and military officials, beware of excessive stimulation, backfire.
After all, people are older, and their acceptance of new things is not as fast as young people.
However, the youngest of the people standing in the hall was almost thirty, nearly forty.
Fifty and sixty years old, sixty and seventy years old abound.
You let this group of people, a downstream merchant tax, build roads, and ask them to accept them all, beware of bottoming out, and deny them all.
How about building the road?
OK!
But not everyone agrees with the cement road.
Moreover, if Gu Jiu came out to repair the road, it would definitely move the interests of some people.
If people's interests are moved, they have to work hard.
Even if Gu Jiu is the prince's wife, those people will not be soft.
Hubu Shangshu and Shaofu Jialing are both old and stable people, knowing that if you want to promote something, you can't be anxious, you have to have enough patience.
The tourist tax is a good breakthrough.
...
A few days later, the streets of the capital quietly changed.
Early in the morning, the hawker Zhao Aliu carried a burden and went out to sell.
Zhao Aliu sells soybean paste and vinegar.
He has been doing this business for seven or eight years.
Originally, he was the second child of the restaurant, and once offended a noble person, causing the owner to lose a lot of money, and he couldn't be a second child.
Jingcheng said that it was big or small, and that it was not small. His incident spread to the catering industry in Beijing within two days.
I want to continue to work as a second child, but unfortunately no one wants to use him.
The second one who caused the owner to pay a large sum of money is not a good second one, and is on the industry blacklist.
Seeing that he lost his job and no income, the mother-in-law was pregnant, and several children were waiting for him to feed. The brothers and sisters were all poor, and after helping them, they had already exhausted their benevolence, and he had no face to ask for help again.
Later, there was nowhere to go, so I could only start the business of hawking.
Both the soybean paste and the vinegar are bought from the neighbourhood shops.
After seven or eight years, he was supporting a family anyway.
It's just that this hawking business has good and bad times. Occasionally, unfortunately, I was caught by the yamen and locked up in the yamen jail, and it was nothing in a month.
But those are all old imperial calendars.
It's different now!
Zhao Aliu came to the street with a burden, and a government officer stepped forward, "bamboo sticks."
Zhao Aliu handed over yesterday's bamboo stick, plus five cents in exchange for a new bamboo stick.
The Ya Ya put the copper coin in the cloth bag hanging on the left side of his waist, and took back yesterday's bamboo sticks and put it into the cloth bag on the right.
Then he took out a charcoal strip and carefully spent a circle on the hard paper hung around his waist.
These bonuses that are related to the end of the month cannot be ignored.
After doing all this, the Ya Ya nodded at him, "Sure."
Zhao Aliu carefully collected the bamboo sticks and sold them along the street.
When he met the yavier to check the bamboo sticks, he took out the bamboo sticks that he received today.
Ya Yi compared the bamboo sticks hanging on his waist with Zhao A Liu's bamboo sticks, and confirmed that it was today's bamboo sticks. If he did not cheat, he waved his hand and let him go.
Zhao Aliu hawked from morning to afternoon, and then went to the market outside Nancheng Gate with a burden.
It's time for the displaced craftsmen to get off work. At this time, it's just right to go to the market outside Nanchengmen to set up a stall.
When he arrived outside the Nancheng Gate, he placed the load on the Dahuaishu Dam, and finally he could take a breath.
A government officer came forward, "bamboo sticks."
Zhao Aliu took out the bamboo stick he had picked up in the morning, and the yaman compared the colors on it. Um, it was confirmed that it was the new one today and had already paid the tourist tax, so he returned the bamboo stick to Zhao Aliu.
So far, today there will be no yamen who come to check bamboo sticks again.
At the end of the day, Zhao Aliu encountered no fewer than ten people who checked bamboo sticks.
Every government officer would compare the bamboo stick in his hand with the bamboo stick hanging around his waist, and make sure that he paid the tax, so he would not be embarrassed.
In this way, except for the imperial city, in any city or street in the capital, he can go hawking, and he will not be afraid of being driven and arrested by the government officials.
Although it is necessary to pay five cents a day to travel business tax, five cents are completely acceptable compared to the profit of tens of cents a day.
As long as the yamen do this in the future, Zhao Aliu wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. The good days are not far away from him. Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to buy a house outside Nancheng Gate.
On the second day, Zhao Aliu repeated the life of yesterday.
The bamboo sticks received every day have different patterns.
It is said that no one else knows what pattern bamboo sticks are used to collect taxes every day.
It was all early morning. Before the market opened, several adults in the household department decided on the bamboo sticks for the day. Then the government officials took the bamboo sticks for the day and started to work.
This approach has effectively blocked the possibility of tax evasion with fake bamboo sticks.
I heard that the special bamboo sticks made by the Ministry of Households, what else is there, and what anti-counterfeiting function.
Most people can't imitate it at all.
Even if you copy it, you don't know what kind of bamboo sticks are used to collect taxes today.
The collection and distribution of bamboo sticks is related to the income of the bureaucrats. The bureaucrats also guard against fake bamboo sticks.
The tourist tax has been tried for a month, and the court has again focused on this matter.
Everyone wants to know how much tourist tax is collected by the Ministry of Households in a month.
They waited to beat Hubu in the face.
"Don't just collect a few thousand taels. From now on, see how the household can see people."
"Even if you receive one to two thousand taels, you are still faceless."
In the early dynasty, Emperor Wen De was full of wicked fun, so he didn't ask about the results of the month.
Miscellaneous, all trivial government affairs have been handled, and seeing the sun is rising, Emperor Wen De hasn't even asked the Ministry of Households. Someone is anxious.
"Your Majesty, the travel business tax has expired for a trial month. It's better to ask Master Zhao to tell you how much tax has been collected during the trial period."
Emperor Wen De hit haha, he already knew the exact number.
When asked his mood, there is only one word: cool!
It was so cool that he ate an extra bowl of rice last night and was lucky enough to have a beauty in Shinde.
It's so cool.
Emperor Wende nodded to Shangshu Hubu, as if to say: Master Zhao came out and slapped Baiguan in the face, he must be slapped, I am optimistic about you.
Mr. Zhao, the Shangshu of the Household Department, did not let Emperor Wen De disappointed. "My Majesty, the travel trade tax will be tried for a month, and the total tax will be 300,451,127."
"what?"
"Three hundred thousand taels?"
"impossible!"
"How can a small tourist business pay so much tax. Could it be that the household department made false accounts?"
"As far as I know, it's impossible to collect 300,000 taels of tax for a month in Beijing."
Hubu Shangshu smiled, "That's because many merchants rely on big trees and don't pay taxes at all. Eighty percent of all merchants in Beijing do not pay taxes. These 80% are still profitable businesses. However, those merchants only need to pay taxes. If you go to the streets to sell, you have to pay taxes, no one exception.
Therefore, the monthly tax paid by the capital merchants is not as good as that of the tourist merchants. Gentlemen, have your shops paid taxes? "
"absurd!"
"Beijing officials have low salary, and they have to support a family. How can a servant open a shop to earn some money to support his family, and how can he pay taxes."
"Don't travel merchants make money to support their families? How can they pay taxes, but you can't pay them?"
Asking the civil and military officials to pay taxes is tantamount to affecting the interests of all the official and noble classes in the world. It is absolutely impossible.
Beware of this group of people uniting to rebel.
The first emperor didn't dare to move this one, and even Wen De didn't dare to move.
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Aiqing, do you have any objections to the tourist tax?"
"No objection."
"The Ministry of Household has an extra 300,000 taels of tax and silver each month. Should we allocate our yamen's money and food as soon as possible?"
"And our yamen's money and food."
"The Ministry of War is tight. The monthly tax of 300,000 taels of merchants must be kept close to our Ministry of War."
"Fart! Go away from the Ministry of War.
This group of courtiers began to quarrel over how to allocate the extra 300,000 taels.
In the end, the noise was not enough, and he fought directly on the Golden Temple.
Hit it, hit it.
Emperor Wen De didn't care a little bit, and started to review the memorial.
Well, it's really interesting to watch the fights while reviewing the memorials. Emperor Wen De felt that being an emperor was not so hard.
The tourist tax facilitates hawkers and avoids being driven and arrested. At the same time, the Ministry of Households adds 300,000 taels of income every month.
No one objected to such good things.
Not only do not oppose, but also praise it.
After the praise was over, the people in the various yamen continued to quarrel. For this extra money, I would not hesitate to make a rude.
Just when the officials were busy arguing and fighting, all the salaries owed for nearly half a year were sent out.
Office desks and chairs with missing arms and legs in each yamen were also replaced with new ones.
There is also money to repair the leaky yamen.
Even the daily work meal has two more pieces of meat.
Huh huh!
All the household members are good people!
