Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled: "Then I am waiting for your Yuan Aiqing's commercial tax reform results!"

Next.

Yuan Keli will immediately invite Bi Ziyan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Commerce, Wang Sanshan, the new governor of the Xichang Factory, and Zhou Yongchun of the Censorate, to the cabinet and said: "Your Majesty is promising that once the effect of the commercial tax reform reaches half of the annual commercial tax amount than the land tax amount, the order will be issued to ban the world's corvee! All the officials, from the current estimate of the loan amount provided by the Ming Bank, this condition is easy to achieve, and it can even be achieved in the first half of the year. Once the world's corvee is forever exempted from this, it is really the greatest good policy for the people since the implementation of the two tax laws at the end of the Tang Dynasty!"

"So, I mean, in order to achieve this goal as soon as possible and to accomplish a great thing for the people of the world, next, I would like to ask all officials to strictly implement the commercial tax reform, not to be afraid of offending others, not to be slandered, not to be perfunctory, not to be afraid of causing trouble, and not to be greedy for doing things that are easy to be scouted and skinned and lose face!"

Yuan Keli continued and asked again: "What do you think of the public?"

"If we can truly exempt the corvee labor from the world forever, it will be a great thing for the people. No matter how big or small the landlords have reduced their burden on corvee labor, the land rent will be reduced, which will help tenants increase their income, and the enthusiasm for reclamation will inevitably increase, and the grain will inevitably increase production. Since the past prosperous times, there has never been such good governance, which is enough to be recorded in history. What we can accomplish can be considered as living up to our lifelong ambitions. Yuan Fu is worried, and I dare not guarantee it for others, but I can guarantee that this commercial tax reform will never be dragged down! If anyone in the Ministry of Revenue does something random, I will definitely submit a letter to ask him to rebel!"

Bi Ziyan said.

Zhu Youxiao was willing to exempt the world from labor service after the commercial tax exceeded half of the land tax, which was indeed a booster, allowing civilian gentry, that is, important officials from major landlords, to have more motivation for commercial tax reform.

Wang Sanshan was the same, and said, "Please rest assured Yuanfu. The officials from the West Factory will personally watch over it. No one is allowed to embezzle the taxes, and no one is allowed to cover the tax evaders."

Zhou Yongchun also said: "The Censorate will also keep a close eye on it. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue and the West Factory will show signs of greed for taxes, the Censorate will directly impeach him regardless of the mercy. At that time, please ask Mr. Bi and Wang Dutang not to complain."

Yuan Keli stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you all!"

...

Chongwenmenwai Street.

The new commercial tax starts here.

The Western Factory, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Censorate all sent a team of officials and soldiers here, and began to collect new commercial taxes from the first store.

Before this, Zhu Youjiao issued an order to establish the Ministry of Commerce and also allowed the Ming Administrative Academy to train a group of officials who could settle accounts and check accounts in order to prepare for today's commercial tax reform.

Now, as soon as the commercial tax reform officially began, it is naturally sufficiently prepared.

The first store to be levied on the new commercial tax was a restaurant.

The store is not small, with a total of three floors, named "Pinxianglou". In addition, the independent courtyard is dedicated to guests' entertainment. It occupies a hundred steps of storefront on Chongwenmen Street, where every inch of land is valuable.

Anyone who sees it knows that such a big restaurant can be opened here, and its background is naturally very large.

However, no matter how big the background is, it cannot be greater than the imperial court.

A member of the Qing official of the Ministry of Commerce of Northern Zhili, Wailang, came to the counter of the shop and ordered Li, an official under his command, and said, "Ask their shop owner or shopkeeper, may he come to the Ministry of Commerce to register the shop industry?!"

Most people in the capital also heard about the commercial tax reform through various channels.

But no one can be sure how determined the court is.

Some people who have backgrounds and are used to being domineering domineering do not take this seriously.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the "Pinxianglou" had met many noble officials and his boss was a well-known person. After being called by the Ministry of Commerce, he bowed to Peng Qing, the head of the Ministry of Commerce, and said, "This official, you may not know that this Pinxianglou is the property of Cheng'anbo. Our boss is Cheng'anbo. Do you think we need to register in your department?"

"Since you have not registered, then register now and the Western Factory will collect taxes. The Ministry of Revenue will issue tax invoices to pay taxes! Now I will first read out the new commercial tax policy! According to the profit situation, there are the following standards..."

Just as Peng Qing was about to start taking out the announcement book, he was suddenly surrounded by more than a dozen slaves who rushed out with sticks. Among them, a bearded man in a soap silk robe was still behind the slaves and shouted to Peng Qing: "Don't be shameless! Others are afraid of you officials, but I'm not afraid. I only know that this is the property of my master. As long as I'm here, no one of you will think of charging an extra tax!"

Bang!

At this time, Wang Sanshan really came here directly, personally supervised the collection of new commercial taxes, and brought the Western Factory Admiral He Shixian. He also personally held a turtle dove gun and shot the bearded man directly.

Wang Sanshan followed Yuan Keli to serve as the deputy envoy of the army in Liaodong and killed the rebels in the southwest. Although he was a civil servant, he was even more enthusiastic than the generals and was very strong. He was familiar with the turtledove gun in his hand like an ordinary bird gun. He was very accurate and he directly hit the bearded man's chest with one shot.

The bearded man fell directly to the ground, and became angry. Blood was emitting from his chest and his eyes widened. He didn't expect that the tax collector would be so tough.

Wang Sanshan said directly at this time: "It is clear that the owner of Pinxianglou did not take the imperial court seriously. He was resisting the order, and he was confiscating the property and killing the head of the family! The people from the West Factory rushed in first and cut off these traitors who wanted to stop the officials of the court from doing things! Then, drive out all the guests inside! Those who do not cooperate will be killed on the grounds of blocking official affairs! And seal the store! Who is the owner of this store? Report to the Censorate immediately and let the Censorate come to the impeachment!"

"They said it was Cheng'anbo Guo Yongzuo's property!"

Peng Qing replied at this time.

"The official will write this article to impeach Cheng Anbo Guo Yongzuo and obstruct the new commercial tax!"

The censor Fitinggui who followed him said.

On this side, the officers and soldiers of the West Factory had already started rushing towards the noble slaves who surrounded Peng Qing with their swords. The noble slaves dared not surround Peng Qing and other officials. They threw the swords and ran into the building.

But there were also people who did not escape and were hacked to the ground by people from the West Factory on the spot.

The shopkeeper of this restaurant was also frightened: "This, this, how can this be so powerful!"

Before the shopkeeper could continue to speak, he was hacked and killed by a soldier from the West Factory.

Then, a supervisor from the West Factory, who was originally a military officer of the Border Army General Office, Zeng Yu walked in with Guduo directly, smashed Guduo on the table, and shouted: "Whoever is upstairs and downstairs, go out immediately! This store has been sealed now! If anyone is slow, don't blame the sword and gun for being eyeless!"

"Where are you officials? Why are you so arrogant? I am a Hanlin in the current dynasty. Do you dare to chase him away?!"

Hanlin Qingliu Zhang Xuan happened to have dinner with his two friends in this restaurant, and when he saw this, he shouted.

Zeng Yu mentioned a bone and walked towards Zhang Xuan, "I not only dare to chase you away, but also dare to let you die!"

As he said that, he was about to kill Zhang Hanlin.
Chapter completed!
