The salt tax of six million taels is five million taels.
Nowadays, the amount of salt produced by salt merchants per year is 20 million taels, totaling 24 million taels of silver.
The imperial court wanted to take all the 24 million taels of silver and not leave any penny to the Yanzheng Yamen.
As for the various expenses of the Yanzheng Yamen, they will play a little edge and sell a little more salt, which is also allowed by the court.
Now that another five million yuan has been added in one breath, can the salt merchants sustain it? Will the common people be burdened by this?
The answer is obvious.
The impact on salt merchants will be very small, but it will be beneficial to ordinary people, because there is more salt on the market, and the price will naturally drop a bit.
¡° Then some people will definitely ask, why wasn¡¯t something done before that would benefit the court and the people and would not affect the salt merchants?
the reason is simple.
?A matter of interests.
Salt merchants want to make more money, so they are naturally unwilling to spend more money to buy more salt, and would rather maintain the status quo.
There are many factions among the big shots in the court, and many of them have connections with the salt merchants in one way or another. They do not want the salt merchants to shock them and lose their contribution.
So everyone felt that it was just fine as it was now, and there was no need to think of new tricks.
"However, now that we have encountered major disasters for three or four consecutive years, there is not much food and money left in the Ministry of Household Warehouse in the past few years.
Seeing that the country¡¯s capital was at risk of being shaken, many bigwigs who had little interest in salt merchants actively promoted the reform plan for salt affairs.
In the face of this kind of righteousness, the big guys in the court can only give in and seek a more suitable amount, so as not to waste all their money.
Of course, the reformists will not want to take advantage of all the benefits, so everyone is actively discussing to find a share that everyone can accept.
"It's just that this secret has not yet been made public.
Now that Liu Mingqi talked about the salt voting system, the emperor revealed a little bit about it.
Liu Renhuai has served as the governor of Jiangnan for many years, and the salt merchants were doing business under his nose. Of course, he knew the most deeply.
I think Emperor Jinghe was satisfied with the share of six million taels of silver, so he told Liu Mingqi.
With his thoughts turning around, the young man asked, "What does Salt Governor Bai Hengwang mean?"
Emperor Jinghe said calmly: "He did not express his opinion, but he agreed with Liu Renhuai's opinion."
The young man smiled, "This Bai Hengwang is quite interesting. He is so greedy for money, but his butt is still on your side, the Emperor."
Emperor Jinghe glared at this tired boy, but then he shook his head and laughed.
The Governor of Salt Affairs, the Governor of Water Transport, and the two third-grade weavers all have very fat positions. Anyone who sits in this position must eat and drink enough.
It just depends on how much you eat.
Bai Hengwang is not honest. He has several mansions in the capital. At the same time, there are a lot of shops and properties, all of which are included in the records of Xiuyiwei.
But Bai Hengwang is not very courageous. He can complete the things ordered by Emperor Jinghe. He can also pay the annual salt tax on time and in quantity, and there will be no trouble in the salt affairs from top to bottom. This has already made him happy. Emperor Jinghe was quite satisfied.
Liu Mingqi even suspected that Bai Hengwang paid a lot of tribute to Emperor Jinghe every year - although the Ministry of Internal Affairs had many industries and all the mines in the world belonged to the emperor, they were still not as good as the free money.
"The boy is not familiar with the salt affairs. I think the statement agreed by Governor Liu and Master Bai is relatively reliable." Liu Mingqi thought about it and gave a satisfactory answer.
Emperor Jinghe didn¡¯t know if he was hiding his clumsiness, and he didn¡¯t bother to ask.
The four prime ministers all agreed with the share of six million taels of silver. Even if Liu Mingqi had other opinions, he would not listen.
¡°However, the strategy Liu Mingqi mentioned to divide the salt merchants is quite interesting, and I don¡¯t think it will be used again.
Doesn¡¯t Jia Ziming attach great importance to fame?
Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to ask Liu Renhuai to give his deceased parents a title when he went to his home?
Not only let others see it, but also let him see it himself, so that he will know the benefits of following the court, and he will be more cooperative in the future.
"It's just that the country is in troubled times. Six million taels seems like a lot, but among the hundreds of millions of people, it is actually a very small amount of money." Emperor Jinghe sighed, "It's a pity that there is no such thing as salt affairs anymore." This is how you get money???
Come on, come on, tell me what you have in mind. If it works, I will definitely give you more rewards and I will ensure that you won¡¯t suffer! "
What the young man wants is a step.
"After all, you can't fight with the emperor, right? Isn't this asking for trouble?"
No matter how kind and generous the emperor is, he is still an emperor. The relationship between superiority and inferiority must be kept in mind, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in the end.
Seeing this, he also stopped and said: "Your Majesty, you are right. But this time, the idea will violate more taboos and offend more people. I don't know if you dare to implement it."
I knew it!
Emperor Jinghe had a headache.
Even Liu Mingqi, a tired boy, said this, it must be very troublesome.
After a moment of silence, the emperor asked: "I would like to ask, what effect can it have?"
Liu Mingqi said: "Within one year, we will increase the income of the imperial court by 50 million taels of silver, and we will be able to increase the income by at least two to three million taels every year in the future."
Hearing this, the emperor took a breath of air.
Zhao Shou on the side couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
Fifty million taels of income?
This is equivalent to all the taxes in the country for half a year!
¡°If such a sum of income is put into the treasury, the imperial court will not have to worry about being stretched in the next two years.
Based on this alone, he was already sure that the emperor would definitely listen to this idea.
No matter how sinister and evil this idea is, as long as it does not touch the emperor¡¯s bottom line, it will definitely be implemented!
But, how on earth can you actually make so much money?
Zhao Shou thought about it over and over, but he didn¡¯t have a clue.
