Chapter 1173 The general trend is set
Second, as Lord Luo said, it takes money to destroy Japanese pirates, and if they destroy Japanese pirates, there will be other pirates, because our voice is too loud. This requires continuous protection from the government, so it is also necessary to collect more commercial taxes.
Third, I just want to say one person’s name, Chen Wansan.”
Everyone was shocked and their faces were pale. Chen Wansan had a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang back then. It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang won the world and could not do without Chen Wansan's support. However, because Chen Wansan was rich enough to rival the country, he was eventually killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Fourth, you should know that the ten-gain tax is not what Lord Luo thought of, but has a precedent. In the capital, Mr. Xu has suggested that Your Majesty separate the northern mutual market and implement ten-gain taxes in the northern mutual market.
Think about it, even the commercial tax of the North mutual market is 10 yuan, but can the commercial tax of our south be 30 yuan?
The fifth and most important point is that we can't wait. If Maritime Affairs keeps closing like this, let alone making money, we can't get rid of the problem.
I have said that, tomorrow I will go to Mr. Luo and agree to get one in ten commercial taxes. If you are willing to be with me, please feel free to go tomorrow morning.
Lu Ding also left, and the people in Wangjiang Tower burst into a loud noise and started to discuss it enthusiastically. These people have been held in for too long. The Maritime Service has been suspended for two years. I really think what Lu Ding said, and some people are almost unable to get out of the way.
Lu Ding walked out of the door, looked at the prefect's office, and said in his heart:
"Mr. Luo, I have done everything you arranged, and I have said everything I asked me to say. Whether you can succeed depends on God's will."
The prefect's office.
Zhang Juzheng left Luo Xin's room anxiously. At this time, what he was anxious about was no longer the commercial tax of the Shibosi, but the anxiety that Xu Jie was used as a gun.
And I can't argue yet, who made you the chief minister of the cabinet?
If your cabinet chief does not agree to increase trading taxes, can trading start to be established now?
Of course, he knew very well that this matter was not something that Xu Jie could decide, but was decided by all the civil servants. They were fascinated by the Northern Mutual Market and were delighted by Emperor Jiajing's initial strength and later concessions. The ten-to-one commercial tax of the Northern Mutual Market could no longer be stopped, and even the ten-to-one commercial tax of the Maritime Bureau could not be stopped.
He knew very well in his heart that since the Northern Mutual Market was positioned as a special zone, how could the Maritime Service not become a special zone? So it cannot be stopped by the official government. The people cannot be stopped even more. If you disagree, Luo Xin will not wipe out the Japanese pirates, and forcing those merchants to agree.
What we need to solve now is that if Xu Jie breaks out of this culprit, he can't think of a solution, but he should report this matter to Xu Jie in time and let Xu Jie find a solution.
Zhang Juzheng returned to his study and quickly wrote a letter asking his servant to set off immediately and go to the capital.
The next day.
Luo Xin had just finished breakfast when he heard Lu Daqing come in to report, and the five major families collaborated with a group of merchants to ask for a visit. Luo Xin smiled and put down the teacup and said in a shallow voice:
"The general trend is decided."
Zhang Juzheng saw through the window of the room that Luo Xin was in a bustling courtyard with a loud laugh. He sighed softly, knowing that the general situation was unstoppable.
This day.
Luo Xin ordered food and drinks from the restaurant. The merchants had dinner at Luo Xin at noon. They discussed until dusk and determined many details. The yard gradually became silent. Everyone's eyes looked at Luo Xin. Now they had signed a contract and agreed that all commercial taxes in the Maritime Bureau would be 10. It was time for Luo Xin to give them a correct letter.
When will the Japanese pirates be wiped out?
When will the Maritime Bureau be restored?
Luo Xin looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Don't be anxious, I am discussing with China. At that time, our Ming Dynasty and China Navy will dispatch at the same time to eliminate the Japanese pirates at the sea. Well, the Japanese officials will not keep you now. In the next days, I will be busy with the matter of eliminating the Japanese pirates."
Everyone stood up and said goodbye to Luo Xin. Although Luo Xin did not give them the correct letter, they believed that once Luo Xin took action, he would sweep away the Japanese pirates like a strong wind and fallen leaves.
At this time, these people already understood that the reason why Luo Xin had not taken action to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates was to wait to increase the commercial tax to one in ten. However, at this time, they were not in resistance.
If one ten is to get one ten, it is better than not doing business. As long as the Maritime Warfare Department is opened, even if one ten is taken, there will be a lot of money to make. Therefore, they have no complaints in their hearts at this time, but only expectations. They have expectations for Luo Xin’s anti-Japanese pirates and the expectations for the Maritime Warfare Department are opened.
News about Wang Cuiqiao had quickly reached the Luo Sheng Navy who was anchored in the sea.
Day 3.
Luo Xin took the guards to Suzhou. Halfway through, several Luo Sheng's subordinates joined Luo Xin's team. In the afternoon, Luo Xin and his group had already arrived at the Suzhou Grand Governor's Office and met Hu Zongxian.
As soon as Luo Xin entered the Grand Governor's Office, he did not come out again. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that he saw Hu Zongxian sending Luo Xin out.
The Ming navy became busy, but Luo Xin returned to Hangzhou but was idle. Three days later. The Ming navy was dispatched. Everyone knew that the Ming navy went out to wipe out the Japanese pirates, and everyone had different mentalities. They were looking forward to the Ming navy's victory and triumphant success, but they were also worried that the Ming navy would fail and lead the Japanese pirates to the shore.
At this moment, Xu Jie, who was in the capital, received a letter from Zhang Juzheng and read it three times. Xu Jie's face had been aging for several years. He sat on the chair powerlessly and sighed. He found that he had no good idea. He could not get rid of the blame for the mutual market and the Maritime Administration's increase in commercial taxes.
Suddenly, a trace of fear arose in his heart.
North mutual market, South civil service.
This south and north are increasing commercial taxes almost at the same time in the name of the Special Administrative Region. Will this be just the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's increase in commercial taxes? Subsequently, this kind of commercial tax that takes one ten to one will be promoted nationwide?
In this way, Xu Jie's infamous reputation became great!
"no!
I can't take this infamy, it's not just a matter of infamy. Once I take this blame, when the Ming Dynasty fully increases its commercial tax, he will become an enemy of the entire Ming Dynasty's interest group, and it will be no exaggeration to pieces."
"what to do?"
Xu Jie was really scared and his face turned pale. Over the years, he had experienced many dangerous situations, but he had never been so scared, and his lips were trembling.
