Many details still need to be discussed.

Fan Hongtang was still a little nervous, fearing that Zhang Haogu would turn his back on him.

Why do I feel like my requests are a bit too much?

However, they soon felt relieved because Zhang Haogu and Cui Chengxiu were seriously discussing the feasibility of this tax strategy with them.

Especially Zhang Haogu really didn't plan to do this just in Shanxi, but planned to do it all over the country.

Agricultural taxes are obviously not enough. He needs commercial taxes, and more taxes are needed to give Ming Dynasty enough strength and capital to enter industrialization.

Finally, Zhang Haogu compiled a thick pile of information, and then he was ready to return to the capital to have a good chat with the Dog Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

It is very easy to destroy order.

It is extremely difficult to establish a new order. Even if Zhang Haogu wants to promote it nationwide, he still needs to have statistics departments and taxation departments all over the country. This imposes extremely high demands on administration.

of.

However, there are some things that Zhang Haogu likes most is to try them.

Let’s not talk about success and failure. Let’s try it first and see. You can’t just do nothing just because it’s difficult, right?

Capital

Zhang Haogu still hasn't come back, but Zhu Youxiao is already looking forward to it.

I don’t know how much money these Shanxi merchants have.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Shanxi comes to report!"

In Qinzheng Hall, Wei Zhongxian came to Zhu Youxiao in a hurry and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Shanxi is here to report!"

"Master is back?" Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked at Wei Zhongxian with some happiness.

"Not yet!" Wei Zhongxian coughed, and then said quickly: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang said that it will still take some time to come back. He said that he wanted to establish a new tea-horse mutual market in Shanxi.

What new order is there to allow the court to collect taxes in the future? Yes, Shanxi has collected all the taxes. What is this called, sustainable development?"

"How much did you charge?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up.

Wei Zhongxian immediately said: "We have copied everything that needs to be copied, including land properties, cash, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, folded silver... folded silver..."

"Say it quickly!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that Eunuch Wei was very annoying. He was so annoying that he held the imperial case with both hands and his tone began to become less kind.

Then Eunuch Wei quickly said: "I got 126 million taels of silver..."

"One, billion?"

Zhu Youxiao's breathing began to become heavier, and he even felt like his head was buzzing. He looked at Eunuch Wei in disbelief: "Tell me again, how much money?"

"One hundred and twenty-six million taels!" Eunuch Wei quickly repeated.

To be honest, even Zhang Haogu was severely surprised by this amount.

This number is a bit scary.

Shanxi Shanxi merchants have accumulated a capital of more than 100 million for a hundred years?

Among the Ming Dynasty's income, ten million taels was a huge figure. This was the tax revenue obtained by Zhang Juzheng's examination method to force officials from various places to implement the New Deal.

In the past few years, although Zhang Haogu has also obtained 50 million taels of silver a year in tax revenue, on the whole, this tax revenue has increased the regular tax revenue, and on the other hand, most of it has been stolen from homes.

.

As for this group of Shanxi merchants in Shanxi, their income was a little more than twice the tax revenue collected by the imperial court last year.

One hundred million!

You know, in the early years, in order to maintain Liaodong, the imperial court spent millions of taels of Liao wages every year. Needless to say, there were various tax increases. Even so, they still owed money to the border troops.

At this moment, happiness came a little too fast, so that Zhu Youxiao was now completely sluggish.

The word "fuck" almost came out of his mouth.

Good guy, it actually went to hundreds of millions.

Zhang Ruitu and others were all dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.

Although the imperial court's tax revenue has improved a lot in recent years, they also know that most of it is from confiscating homes and does not really bring in money.

But now, everyone suddenly had an idea.

It’s really easy to make money by searching your home!

Zhu Youxiao also fell silent. At first he felt that Eunuch Wei was fooling him, but he felt it was impossible.

It's even more like being struck by lightning.

"One hundred and twenty-six million taels of silver!?"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed, and the whole person burst into laughter. The excitement deep in his heart was simply beyond description in words.

Smiling and laughing, I felt like tears couldn't help but flow out.

When I first came to the throne, the imperial court was so poor. For two years, there were natural and man-made disasters. Money was in need but no money, and food was in need but no food.

But now, since having Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youxiao suddenly found that he didn't seem to need to worry about money.

The revenue of the national treasury is higher than that of every year. In addition, a stable tax system has been established.

If he really followed Zhang Haogu's strategy, how rich would Daming be?

Only when you have money can you give money to the soldiers on the front line. When you have money, can the court carry out many major projects. Only when you have money can the court expand its territory.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up in a hurry and said, "Where's the money? Where's the silver?"

Eunuch Wei coughed a few times and said: "Now the new army is responsible for transporting the silver, but it will still take some time to transport it to the capital. Your Majesty, why don't you wait a moment!"

"Yes, yes, wait, wait!" Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "No rush, I can wait, I can wait!"

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, and Eunuch Wei couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Haogu's methods are so powerful, he can make more than 100 million taels of silver, which is more than 100 million.

"Wei Banban, is there really 126 million taels of silver?" Just when Eunuch Wei thought Zhu Youxiao had stopped, he heard Zhu Youxiao's voice again.

"Yes, yes, your lord, a total of 126 million taels of silver!" Eunuch Wei replied.

Zhu Youxiao was silent again.

after awhile.

"Wei Banban, is there really 126 million taels of silver?"

Wei Zhongxian: "..."
Chapter completed!
