It was another day when the sun shone brightly.

Yang Jie got up very early. In short, the sun was already high and dispelled the fog of early winter, so he slowly got up.

Yesterday, I had a chat with Sun Chengzong all day and figured out the inside story and context of the Ming Dynasty. Yang Jing felt very happy and felt that nothing could stop him.

"Ha..." Yang Jingyao first yawned, then asked with a smile: "Big partner, what's going on today?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, there is nothing serious today. Your Majesty said yesterday that he would summon Zheng Zhilong. Now he has arrived and is here outside the palace. Is Your Majesty going to see him?" Wang Chengen said with a smile on his face.

Zheng Zhilong? This guy is really a key figure who decides the direction of the late Ming Dynasty. I talked to Sun Chengzong yesterday. Those maritime merchants took a fancy to Zheng Zhilong's ability and wanted to cultivate him and become a person who can suppress the government, barbarians and pirates in the southeast coast, calming the southeast coast and clearing the way for their maritime trade. However, this matter has ruined itself. Not only did he recruit Zheng Zhilong into the palace, he also recruited him with high standards.

As for him to write about the barbarians, this made the maritime merchants realize that they knew everything at sea better than them, concealed the truth, and deceived the emperor's last glimmer of hope, so they turned to themselves and took control of Zheng Zhilong. In other words, the future tariffs have been settled. Not to mention too much every year, it is a few million taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver. It should be easy to get. Yang Jing sat on the bed, laughing alone.

"Forget it, let him wait a little longer. I will go to Wenhua Palace to deal with today's business and see him again." Yang Jie wanted to see Zheng Zhilong immediately, but after thinking about it, he thought he would give up and let it go and talk about it for a while, and settle the maritime merchants in Jiangnan first.

"As for order..." Wang Chengen agreed.

A group of palace maids and eunuchs began to dress up for the emperor.

...

Wenhua Palace.

"Long live my emperor..." It was the sound of the ministers kowtowing.

"All get up." Yang Jie was in a very good mood today, and even his voice was filled with a hint of joy.

"Thank you for your kindness..." The ministers then got up and began to formally deal with the government affairs.

In fact, the Wenhua Palace does not need to come every day, nor does it have big things every day. The cabinet will handle small things by itself, and the big things will be placed in the morning court, or the platform will directly order them. Some things that are not big or small will be discussed here.

"You guys, what's the matter going to report today?" Yang Jinghui asked as usual.

After dealing with some trivial matters, Yang Jingwei is preparing to formally reply to those maritime merchants.

"Which family said yesterday that I asked me to pay for the shipbuilding?" Yang Jing asked. The minister who was smiling yesterday had a deep impression on Yang Jing and was very vague, so that he could never remember who he was.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I am here." A minister with a smile on his face immediately left.

"I agreed to do this yesterday. I thought about it and decided to subsidize merchants in Jiangnan who are willing to build ships and transport disaster victims. According to the size of the ship, they will be allowed to participate in the transport of disaster victims. There is no need to be much at once. As the Qing family said, it will be better than the older generation..." Yang Jingai said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, the ministers below changed their faces. No one could do anything to the emperor's courage, methods, and ability to spend money! Even such a lion dared to agree to the matter of a big talk.

Bi Ziyan's face turned green. What's wrong with the emperor? Are you stupid? How could he agree like this? Your Majesty doesn't know how big a shipbuilding in the south can be built? Thousands of taels are small boats, and there are also many ships worth ten or twenty thousand taels of silver. If Your Majesty really pays 20% of the silver to build a group of man-made ships for Jiangnan, he is afraid that every household in Jiangnan would have to build a ship. Not to mention 10,000 taels of silver, it is a big ship worth 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver. I'm afraid that even the treasure ships dare to build. How much does it cost this year?

The official with a smile on his face became even more smiling. He was about to say "Abide by the order" to make sure that this matter was for sure. Someone was talking next to him.

"Your Majesty, is this better to consider it again? Your Majesty, the cost is really..." Bi Ziyan had a green face, lowered his head, and said with a tough bullet, "You will not cheat your Majesty like this!" After all, I am a member of the Imperial Party, and I am even in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. If I don't come out, who will come out?"

"Haha, why? Bi Aiqing, I think it's very good! Although I have paid some money now, they will also need to transfer immigration for me in the future. It can be considered as taking each of them. As this Qing family said, I am willing to pay for fishermen, immigrants to build fishing boats, and I am also willing to pay for merchants to build large ships..." Yang Jingai said with a smile.

The ministers below looked at each other, what is this? The people of the Imperial Party sang against the emperor?

Bi Ziyan lowered his head and said with a tough gut, "Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter is very serious. Who should I pay this 20% of the subsidies through? How should I pay it? How to prevent someone from cheating? Your Majesty, these are all set rules?" Bi Ziyan felt that the emperor was cheated and paid such a sum of money for nothing, so he bit the bullet and broke the matter. He really felt that the hairs behind his head were standing up, and he was slapped the emperor in public.

The official who proposed this matter smiled and stopped laughing on his face. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed, and there was still something to disrupt the situation.

"Haha, it's okay, I've already figured out what to do..." Yang Jing said with a smile. It's still good to have such a person who considers his own money bag. I didn't tell Bi Ziyan about this matter. It's rare that he has such a posture.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty what is the solution?" Bi Ziyan took the initiative and pressed him step by step.

"...In fact, it is very simple. After the merchants in Jiangnan built ships, the shipbuilding yard issued an invoice, and then took the invoice to the tax supervisor I set up in Jiangnan to receive subsidies. The larger the ship, the more subsidies you receive, the more than 20% of the ships you have, and the more you have, the most fulfilled, I will never break my promise..." Yang Jing announced the news with a smile.

The ministers who were originally devoted to watching the show were stunned. The Emperor of Love was willing to pay the money! This tragic emperor; this prodigal emperor; this emperor with a problematic emperor, the ministers fell all over the ground. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually wanted to build a ship for merchants in Jiangnan. He thought it was just a talk and a gesture, because this matter could not be operated at all. With the lack of drift in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, let alone 20%, two percent could be used to those merchants, and they would burn incense.

This time, the minister who had a smile on his face turned into a bitter face. How did things happen like this? What invoice was issued? Is it really possible to take the invoice to get the money in the tax prison? He no longer knew whether he should laugh or cry. If he cheated the emperor too hard, he would not have a good life in the future. Isn’t this just a saying?

Bi Ziyan was also stunned. Is the emperor lacking intent or wise as stupid?

"...Forget it, seeing that everyone in your family doesn't understand what I mean, then I will say again. If the merchants invest in shares and are willing to help me and transport disaster victims, I welcome you. Any newly built ship can enjoy my subsidies. You can enjoy subsidies from 10% to 20% according to the size of the ship. After building a ship in the shipyard, you can take the invoice issued by the shipyard, and then go to the tax supervisor in Jiangnan to get the money. That's it... In this way, there will be no increase in government offices or personnel, that is, there is an additional procedure when building a ship. Just ask the shipyard for an invoice." Yang Jing explained with a smile. It seems that this invoice will appear in China for many years in advance.

"Dare you ask Your Majesty, what is the invoice?" The official who smiled at the beginning, but now he smiled bitterly, quickly asked, saying that Your Majesty is smart and has many famous things, but now, he hasn't seen how smart the emperor is. He has no hope of asking for 20% of the money from the emperor. If he cheated the emperor, wouldn't all the accounts be counted on him in the future?

"Is the invoice? When the merchant builds a ship in a shipyard, he will agree on the size, purpose, cost, etc. After the ship is built, the shipyard will issue a note to the merchant about the cost of the ship to prove that the merchant has indeed built a ship in the shipyard, such as how much money it spent and how big the ship it built. Then the merchant takes the invoice issued by the shipyard and goes to the tax supervisor in Jiangnan to receive the corresponding subsidy. Does the invoice play this role? Do you understand?" Yang Jing said with a smile.

After Yang Jing's statement, all the ministers on the ground were stupid. Is the emperor crazy? The shipyard issued an invoice, and the tax supervisor gave the money? You should know that there are countless shipyards in Jiangnan who built ships, and they all came to issue invoices. Is his invoices of millions of taels of silver? Does the emperor also give money? The emperor is really a big family and a big business!

The official who smiled at first, but now he smiled bitterly now has become stupid. He looks at the emperor stupidly. The emperor probably doesn't know how many shipyards there are in Jiangnan. According to the emperor, as long as the invoice issued by the shipyard, he can get silver. Perhaps the emperor doesn't know, he can issue fake invoices, fakes, and can collude with the shipyard... Isn't the emperor the emperor? Why did he become so stupid? After all, he cheated the emperor this time, and these accounts will have to be counted on himself in the future...

Bi Ziyan's face was already black, and the emperor was really stupid now.

Looking at the changing faces of the ministers on the ground, Yang Jie smiled and said, "I forgot to say something. This invoice requires a regular invoice. I will not recognize the fake invoice. Don't make any mistakes in your family."

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is a real invoice? What is a fake invoice?" The official who was smiling just now, who later turned into a bitter face, and now had a puzzled look on his face, asked, "This matter has made him nervous."

"Invoices are not printed by the shipyard themselves. Invoices are printed by my tax supervisor. They are specially issued by the merchants who have registered in the tax supervisor and paid taxes. They receive as much invoice as they pay. The larger the invoices they can issue, and the larger the ships they can build. This is how much subsidy they can get from me according to the invoice. After the merchant builds the ship, they register with my tax supervisor. The shipyards that have paid taxes will issue a regular invoice to the merchants printed and issued by the tax supervisor. Then the merchant takes the invoice and goes to the tax supervisor to get the subsidized money..." Yang Jing explained.

The ministers on the ground have seen the emperor's cleverness, and they have this trick in their relationship. No wonder, this is almost the same, not outrageous. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have cheated others to death?

At first, the official who smiled all over his face, then cried and then was confused. This time he had learned the emperor's power. This time, he became amused and crying. It was probably only a family in Jiangnan who could issue a regular invoice, which was the Jiangnan Shipyard. The emperor had done his business to his own house. This time, the tax supervisor in Jiangnan; the tax supervisor who was ridiculed by thousands of people, and the tax supervisor who paid voluntarily will become a hot commodity this time.

In the past, others laughed at the emperor for being stupid, but it was a joke to laugh at the tax bureau. This time, everyone had to go to the tax bureau to ask for his father and grandma, and ask the tax bureau to register for himself and pay personal income tax. Otherwise, the 20% subsidy would be impossible. If you can't get the invoice, you may not be able to continue the business. If you lose 20% of the subsidy, who will still build a ship here? That business doesn't want to save some money? Can it save 20%, that's not moved? This official looked at the emperor with laughter and cry. The emperor made this move...

Only then did Bi Ziyan realize that the emperor's abacus was very loud. In Bi Ziyan's heart, a foolish emperor immediately turned into an extremely smart emperor.

The ministers fell into the ground and shone their eyes and stared at the emperor.

Some ministers were depressed and wanted to object, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, they were all the emperor's own money, and the emperor's own internal ministers were doing it. How could this be mixed? You can't even cross the boundaries, and it's just a waste of your words. The emperor and those inner ministers will also take their words as a fart. The outer ministers cannot control the inner ministers, and the inner ministers will not be able to miss the outer ministers.

Even if this is the case, it will be decided.

After leaving Wenhua Palace, Yang Jing became serious and thought while walking.

After leaving many followers, leaving only Wang Chengen to follow him, Yang Jing said: "Big companion, in my name, immediately write to Zheng Huaizhong from Jiangnan, telling him about the invoice and shipbuilding... Let him pay attention to this 20% of the subsidy is for those shipbuilding merchants, not for him, let him grasp it clearly and not ruin my affairs..." Yang Jing said seriously. This end of his own was done, so, the actual execution end must not make any mistakes. If something goes wrong, then he will suffer a lot. At that time, it may be because of such a little power comparison, and the winner may be deviated, so naturally he will not be careless.

"Abide by the order, I will do it now." Wang Chengen agreed. He participated in the matter from the beginning to the end of the matter, and naturally knew the inside story, and knew the power of it, and he also agreed seriously.

"No, wait, I will send a letter to Erxizi. In my name, I will say that I am going to do this invoice, so that he will do it according to my wishes, and don't let anyone take advantage of loopholes. If a new ship is actually built, let him fulfill my promise to those merchants, and the silver will be compensated with the prospect of the mint. As for the shipyard to register and require tax payment, let him be more picky and choose, and don't make it too easy. Pay attention to the tax payment, and let him choose the strong and credible merchants. Don't even get a cat or a dog come to pay tax payment. Pay attention, let him compare with the Jiangnan Shipyard, how big the scale is.

As much as you set taxes, you will issue invoices. In addition, ask him to gradually shift the focus of his work to the tax supervisor from now on, and spend more time on the tax supervisor. The mint is on track and does not require much energy anymore. Let him gradually let go and find someone who is capable in the future. The achievements of the mint are not as good as those of the tax supervisor. Let him pay more attention to the tax supervisor..., future achievements are limitless..." Yang Jing frowned, and along the way, he said in detail that his tax bureau is really about to open with this east wind, which is undoubtedly a very important thing.

"I obey the order, let's do it now." Wang Chengen agreed again.

"Well, go and go back quickly. I'll write it and show it to me. By the way, this must be expedited for 700 miles. I need to send it to Jiangnan as soon as possible..." Yang Jie looked up at the distance and said.

"I obey the order..." Wang Chengen agreed again.

...

Yang Jie did not return to Qianqing Palace, but went to the platform. When he entered the platform, Yang Jie remembered something and said, "Come on!"

Wang Chengen had already gone to do business, and a little eunuch next to him immediately agreed, "I'm here."

"Go and summon that Zheng Zhilong, I will meet him on the platform." Yang Jiefang said.

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment and understood who the emperor was talking about. He immediately said, "I obey the order, and I will go and pass the order."

...

As usual, many servants participated in the work of the General Staff on the platform, fought on the sand table, deducing some changes in the situation. When the emperor came, he naturally saluted again.

Zheng Zhilong had been waiting outside the palace for most of the morning, but he had no complaints at all. This was the palace and the residence of the emperor. Not to mention waiting for a long time, there were many people who could not get summoned by the emperor for many days.

Zheng Zhilong came to the palace with a complicated mood. As for the complex method, only he himself knew the taste.

First of all, the person in charge of receiving him was Lin Qiong, the Imperial College Priest, who was under the banner of a fellow villager. In fact, he could not fight with Lin Qiong, but Lin Qiong was receiving him, which made Zheng Zhilong feel very strange. Not to mention that his identity as a pirate, Zheng Zhilong was a thousand miles apart from that of Lin Qiong. Even if he was recruited, he would be a small sesame official like a guerrilla general or a military officer. Compared with the Imperial College Priest, his identity and status were still a thousand miles apart. If he recruited a pirate, he would be able to win.

The emperor personally met him more than once. This specification was absolutely terrible, and it was even more outrageous. The emperor arranged the itinerary for him, visiting the New Army barracks, visiting Liulizhai, visiting various factories, and even asked him to visit the side walls of Shanhaiguan and Jiayuguan. Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that the high standards of this kind of recruitment even caused controversy in the court. All of these things made Zheng Zhilong feel uneasy. These were arranged by the owner of the Forbidden City.

"Long live the emperor, long live the people who kowtowed me." Zheng Zhilong kowtowed with a complicated mood, respectfully and meticulously.

Yang Jingwei once again saw this figure who could change the history of the late Ming Dynasty - Zheng Zhilong. He still had dark skin and a strong figure. He looked smart and capable, and had experienced the ups and downs.

Yang Jing nodded and said, "Not bad! Where have you been to recently?" Yang Jing asked.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, Caomin followed His Majesty's arrangements and took Lord Lin to Shanhaiguan, Jiayuguan to look at the side walls, to Sun Yuanhua, and Lord Sun's artillery factory..." Zheng Zhilong answered in a regular manner. The pressure on him was too great. Although he was a person who called the wind and rain on the southeast coast, when he arrived at the emperor's feet, his fear of imperial power in his heart made him respectful from the heart.
