"You must have read the letter from Xianggong He. How to solve the problem of silver and money in Tangkou?" Zhao Huan signaled the court officials to be quiet and raised a new issue.

In fact, Zhao Huan just handed over the Tangkou Hai Grain Department to the Ministry of Commerce for the time being. In the end, the Hai Grain Department would still return to the Ministry of Revenue. Grain is the foundation of the country.

It’s just that Zhao Huan wants to use this matter to speed up the Ministry of Revenue to clarify the world of the world.

How long does it take? Ten years.

How long did Zhu Yuanzhang take to clarify the land in the world? Ten years.

Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to establish a yellow book. The basic unit of the yellow book was a picture. One hundred households were made up of one picture. Each ten households were composed of one a family, and one a family of ten a family was selected from it. One hundred households had ten a family of ten a family of one a family. A village chief was set up to be responsible for the ten a family of one a family and reported directly to the county-level yamen.

This is the Li Family system and the fundamental tax system in the Ming Dynasty. This is a good policy, but only universal is considered a good policy.

From the trial in Huzhou in the third year of Hongwu, it gradually began to be trial in the three southeastern provinces, and then promoted it to the whole world. Finally, the feat of the imperial book was completed in the 14th year of Hongwu.

It's exactly ten years.

Zhao Huan's requirements are not high, and he hopes that the Ministry of Revenue can complete the restructuring of the world's land and household registration system within ten years.

But judging from the current execution of the Ministry of Revenue, it is a fool to create a complete world-class yellow book in the past ten years!

That's why he used a whip to twitch the Ministry of Revenue and hurry up to complete it. This is the newly established Haigrain Department, which is just a lesson. If the Ministry of Revenue still does its own way, Zhao Huan will consider asking the Ministry of Personnel to supervise it again.

If the supervision of the Ministry of Personnel still has no effect, the technicians of the Song Dynasty would use the graphic academy and technicians to do this.

When Zhao Huan saw the question he raised and no one answered, he asked tentatively: "Add taxes? Buy it?"

"I think it's understandable that it's not wrong to add taxes for corals or gems. Didian merchants will add taxes when they first get third-class merchants, but merchants below third-class merchants are less appropriate. I wonder what the officials think?" Li Gang said in a low voice.

The tax grading system is a major project of commercial tax reform that Li Gang has been promoting recently. After rectifying the Song Dynasty taxes that were paid to buy the system, he was preparing to start the tax system to rob the rich and help the poor.

"Chen Shaoqing, what do you think?" Zhao Huan turned his head and looked at Chen Zimei. He was originally a merchant and a first-class luxury businessman in Didian. He looked like he heard Chen Zimei's ideas.

Chen Zimei said without hesitation: "Good."

When Li Gang mentioned this in Chang Chaoli, he naturally had already been yelling with Li Gang in private. The two studied it for a long time. Chen Zimei agreed with Li Gang's view very much and agreed to the promotion of this system.

The tax classification system of tax collection has changed the past one-size-fits-all commercial taxation in a broad sense, from half a percent, one percent, two percent, three half percent of the lowest level of taxation.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Zhao Huan asked tentatively. No one in the audience responded.

The Song Dynasty was still a world of literati. They looked at merchants in a different way. Even though Chen Zimei was a serious Jinshi, the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty still believed that he had once engaged in a low-key career and believed that Chen Zimei was incompatible with them.

So for them, there is nothing to object to this policy at all.

"Then Dazai Li will do this." Zhao Huan signaled Li Gang to let go, just as he did before, to provide him with the best of his own.

The tax grading system also includes the support policy of not being a businessman in Didian. Of course, the purpose of Li Gang's tax grading system is not to respond to the idea of ​​"the king serves the people for the heaven" of the government, nor does he have a grand ambition of common prosperity.

He existed entirely to attack the influence of first-class luxury merchants in Didian.

The Chen family in Huainan and the treasury of the government in Goryeo competed for profit, which allowed Li Gang to see the terrifying influence of first-class wealthy merchants!

Nowadays, the first-class wealthy merchants can still control it. After all, the largest merchant in the world is the official treasury industry. Then the national treasury industry with the national treasury as the core.

But this still made Li Gang feel uneasy.

His purpose was to differentiate the influence of Didian's first-class merchants. If he could divide the first-class merchants under the suppression of high taxes, he would be able to divide the first-class merchants into the Didian, which was similar to the "recommendation order" proposed by Zhufu Yan at that time to reduce the vassal states.

As a defender of the imperial power, he firmly resisted all the existence that might affect the imperial power, because in his heart, the restrictions on the emperor that the officials have been repeatedly mentioned will be firmly denied by Li Gang at the beginning of the discussion.

He was in order to maintain order, and Zhao Huan also agreed with Li Gang's measures to further promote commercial reform.

Of course, the tax policy of supporting merchants who are not well-known in Didian was hit by the way. One held the great dream of common prosperity, and the other held the influence of didian first-class merchants to maintain order.

Different paths lead to the same destination.

For first-class wealthy merchants, it is not just a hierarchical tax collection system, but also includes anti-monopoly bills and specific provisions, Li Gang is still exploring, but Cai Jing has already made a huge step in anti-monopoly matters before Li Gang and made great contributions.

Standing on Cai Jing's achievements, Li Gang further promoted the standardization of anti-monopoly industries.

Fang La's uprising was caused by the fall of the dragon in the south of the Yangtze River and the natural disaster of the earthquake. In fact, the fundamental reason was that Zhao Ji crossed the prime minister and the six ministries and directly intervened in the salt administration of the two places in Jiangnan, which led to Fang La's uprising in Jiangnan and Liangzhe had a mass base.

In the subsequent policy revisions, Cai Jing started to rectify Zhao Ji's policies.

Zhao Ji's approach is to issue salt notes, with a salt-based system. The salt notes issued only indicate the price and quantity of salt, and there is no deadline.

This caused the salt merchants to buy the salt banknotes back, and salt merchants from all over the place sat together, held the salt banknotes, agreed on prices, stocked up goods, and controlled the salt price to a certain extent.

This is a bit similar to futures financial instruments in later generations. In the Song Dynasty, the price of salt soared. From the past fifteen cents, you can buy salt for a family of five and a half days, it soared directly to more than three hundred cents. Before the Fang La uprising, the price of salt was still soaring.

However, the salt workers and the salt farms still produced salt at the price customized by the court. Even because of the sharp drop in salt production, the salt farm workers were unemployed on a large scale, which enriched the young and middle-aged people for Fang La's millions of rebels.

Four years later, Cai Jing made a revision of the salt administration without telling Zhao Ji.

After Cai Jing's reform, the salt induction was divided into long-term and short-term, long-term sales outside the road, and short-term sales. The most important thing is that the salt induction launched by Cai Jing has a term of time. Long-term sales one year, short-term sales for one quarter. Expiration is abolished, and the quantity and price of transportation and sales are strictly limited.

The market has been re-corrected from the monopoly operation of first-class wealthy merchants in Didian to become a competition for free trade. With the Jiangnan population being slaughtered by one ten times, the salt price in the Song Dynasty began to steadily decline. Now the salt price has recovered to the Chongning period, about 150,000 yuan of salt.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was very interested in Cai Jing's various policies. As he said before leaving, Cai Jing became more and more similar to the officials.

Cai Jingdu was ahead of what the officials were doing and wanted to do, and under the pressure of Zhao Ji, he did a pretty good job.

Unfortunately, no matter how talented Cai Jing is and how many policies there are, since Grand Secretary Chen Dong wrote a letter to criticize Cai Jing as the six thieves of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing has been nailed to death on the pillar of shame in history and is undoubtedly a treacherous minister.
