    Kuixu was satisfied, but he didn't dare to worry about upsetting Zhen and calling him a scolding. He didn't dare to raise his head and glance at Zhenwu's face. He bowed and said, "I obey the order. Visit and download the txt novel." He then lowered his head.  He was thinking about the conversation with Zhenwu just now, hoping to detect Zhenwu's intention, and at the same time, he was waiting for Zhenwu to mention it himself.

    Zhenwu, however, stopped talking and sipped slowly. He glanced at him and casually pulled out a piece of information to say something about it. Zhenwu was half-missed in silence, and he couldn't help but be more puzzled. He didn't know what Zhenwu was selling in this gourd.  If you don¡¯t say it, don¡¯t you ask me to kneel down? Are you waiting for someone?

    Thinking of this, his thoughts immediately opened up. Zhenwu must be waiting for Ma Qi and the others to come to see Engineering Silver. Maybe he was with Ma Qi and the others. He couldn't help but secretly relax, calm down and wait quietly.

    Ma Qi, Wang Juan, and Fang Bao arrived. The three of them washed up a little, ate some snacks, and then hurried past. As soon as the three of them greeted Zhenwu, he put down Zhe and said with a smile: "Ma Qi, Wang Juan, and so on."  I asked Fang Bao to stand and answer."

    After the three of them, Xie Zhenwu, swept through a few people, he said with a smile: "I received a discount of 16 million from Shanghai's sea route auction the day before yesterday. This year's Green Camp plus official salary increase can completely do without using state funds."

    The auction of the sea route raised 16 million taels of silver horses. Several people couldn't help but feel excited when they heard this. This master is really making a fortune. No one had thought that the sea route could auction so many silver horses for so many years. They all hurriedly bowed and said: "Congratulations to the emperor."  This move not only enriches the country but also perfects and standardizes maritime order, which actually benefits the country and the people."

    Wang Guan, who had always been a little interested in the Luying's increase in officials' salary, couldn't help but said: "The emperor's Luying will increase their salary. The official's salary increase requires large sums of money every year. The auction of sea voyages can only temporarily solve the problem. In the end, it will be aggravated by the imperial court."  burden."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  Several people present could not help but secretly hint at Zhenwu, but he did not think so at all: "If there is no obvious increase in the taxes of the imperial court, there will be additional expenditures such as the increase of the Green Camp and the increase of officials and the increase of the welfare of the Eight Banners. I will not let the imperial court bear the burden."

    The people who listened were all secretly shocked. Even though the master was a good man, where would he get the tens of millions of dollars every year? Kuixu even secretly wondered why he couldn't just get rid of the project money since he could earn it so much.

    Weiwei Zhenwu looked at Ma Qi and Wang Juan and said: "I have given you three orders. Local officials are not allowed to embezzle disaster relief money. However, there are still cases of misappropriation of disaster relief money and food in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. I order you to follow me. It is to strictly investigate Shanxi and Shaanxi."  The two provinces misappropriated disaster relief money and food.

    In the past few days, I have learned something about Shanxi's misappropriation of disaster relief money. The purpose is not to mention that it is to use the river control project to invite local officials in Shanxi to make up for the losses in Shanxi. Although it is not limited to various miscellaneous taxes and labor, it is not official  It also has a very poor reputation among the public.

    Ma Qi is responsible for strictly investigating the embezzlement of relief money and food from the victims.  Wang Juan was responsible for strictly investigating Shanxi's losses and had to pay attention to the fact that they had borrowed a lot of money from the local gentry and had to divest it.  "

    Hearing this, Ma Qi and Wang Guan hurriedly bowed and said: "We will obey the order."

    Zhenwu looked at Kuixu again and said: "Borrowing money from the Jin gentry - you know it very well. Assist Wang Dong to transfer and order local officials to make up for the losses caused by corruption. The money and grain stored in Shanxi's treasury and surrounding prefectures and counties should be diverted first to river control projects.  silver."

    When Kuixu heard that this was a large amount, he hurriedly bowed and said: "I obey the order."

    Weiwei Shen Zhenwu Cai said: "One thing that all prefectures and counties need to pay attention to is that the money owed by the Jin gentry must not only be screened more, but also privately visited by multiple parties to understand the details and decide whether to recover the money owed based on the specific situation. Do not be incited by this."  To prepare for a major disaster, one must know how to support the people."

    "I obey the order," Kuixu and Wang Juan said in unison.

    Zhenwu nodded and then turned to Fang and said in a calm tone: "Fang Bao will be appointed as the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture to assist Kuexu in eradicating Taiyuan water and promote the integration of the gentry into the gentry in Taiyuan Prefecture. Try to implement the gentry to supervise the local officials and abolish it."  It is said that the waste will be completely abolished in three years, and all the waste will be used to cure Taiyuan floods in the past three years."

    What Fang Bao heard was that he was overjoyed to be promoted, and he was directly promoted from Zuo Zanshan, the sixth-rank Zhan Shifu, to the fourth-rank Zhizhi, and it was from Dalian, like Taiyuan Prefecture, to the second rank and the fourth rank. It has always promoted innovation.  Even though things were not going well, he did not dare to kneel down and said: "The humble minister who thanks the Emperor must do his best and work hard."

    After listening to the bowing, Zhenwu could not help but said slightly: "Doing your best will not harm your reputation. I am afraid it will be enough to leave your name in history." After a slight pause, he stopped smiling and said slowly: "Don't pay too much attention to what's in front of you.  Only after his death can he actually do something for the country and the people without losing his true qualities as a scholar.

    There will definitely be obstacles in the implementation of the reform. We must be good at eradicating floods in Taiyuan. It will benefit all the gentry in Taiyuan Prefecture and make good use of this. We must also summarize the pros and cons of implementing the reform. Sooner or later, these reforms will be implemented across the country, but I have high hopes for you.  "

    "The emperor's instructions to all ministers must be borne in mind that they must be diligent, prudent, conscientious, and live up to the emperor's love." Fang Bao bowed hurriedly.

    The heart of Xun Xu listened to the fire and the fire of Taiyuan Mansion for three yearsNo wonder Zhenwu asked him to slow down the project. It turned out that he was attacking this master. If he didn't pay for the project, what else could Zhenwu do?

    Zhenwu glanced at a few people and said with a smile: "You all knelt down and told me after the bumpy ride in the car. Tomorrow I will summon a group of officials and supervisors at the governor's Yamen."

    "This slave obeys the order." Kuixu bowed hurriedly and said.

    After everyone retreated, Zhenwu also stood up and prepared to walk in the yard. Although there was ice in the house, it was not too bad, but he preferred to go outside to receive food. Before he left, Dachun hurried to the door and reported in a low voice: "Emperor Fan Yubin is outside.  ask to see."

    Fan Yubin? Come to see him now? Zhenwu pondered for a moment and then asked: "Is he the only one?"

    "There is one more person. It's his fifth brother Fan Yuqi." Dachun bowed hurriedly.

    It must be the Shanxi Merchants United Ticket Account. Unexpectedly, their movements were so slight. Zhen Wucai said: "Let both of them come in." After that, he also ordered: "Have people move the tables and chairs into the yard.  It¡¯s cooler outside.¡±

    After several guards were busy arranging the tables and chairs, Fan Yubin and the two brothers also joined hands to see Zhenwu. They stood in the courtyard. They hurriedly came forward and kowtowed to greet Fan Yuqi. It was the first time for Fan Yuqi to see Zhenwu at such a close distance, so Zhenwu was a little nervous.  Smiled slightly.  He said: "There is no need to give me a seat."

    The two of them thanked them for their gratitude and cautiously leaned forward and sat down on the small table. Fan Yubin then bowed and said: "The bank account number one jointly established by the emperor and Shanxi merchants has begun to take shape."

    Zhenwu smiled and nodded: "You have been by my side these days. Fan Yuqi is in charge of all matters related to the ticket number, so let him do it."

    Hearing this, Fan Yuqi couldn't help but feel a little excited.  Zhenwu was obviously giving him an opportunity to show off. He said hurriedly and calmly: "When the news came out that the imperial court would vigorously develop inland commerce and encourage Shanxi merchants to jointly set up bank accounts, the wealthy merchants in Taiyuan City reacted like this.  Rich Shanxi merchants from Taigu, Yuci, Xugou, Qixian, Wenshui, Jiaocheng and other places around Taiyuan also rushed to Taiyuan. The grassroots discussed with the merchants. As of today, the amount of shares has exceeded 70 million.  .¡±

    Speaking of this, he hesitated slightly before continuing: "However, the problem raised by the merchants is not mainly about how to effectively protect the silver inventory of the branches in the northwest, including those opened outside the Qing Dynasty in the future. Two votes  Whether the number of banknotes is subject to tax. Is the profit still drawn one out of thirty? Is there supervision over the banknote number by the three imperial courts? Can the banknote number four open branches in various places in the Qing Dynasty? Should the banknotes discovered by banknote number five be compared with the banknotes found by banknote number four?  Daheng's unified style?"

    Hearing him ask so many questions in one breath, Zhenwu couldn't help but ponder for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "If there are any unsolved and difficult matters about the Shanxi Merchants United Ticket Number, they can be transferred through the secret method through Fang Bao, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture."  You can also set up a branch in the capital or ask for permission directly through the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    Regarding the protection of Semicolon An, whether it was in the northwest frontier or the Qing Dynasty, whether it was extorted or robbed by bandits or foreign troops, the Qing Dynasty would send troops to pursue it without fail. To protect the private property of the Qing people, the Qing Royal Navy and Imperial Guards  The New Army will not hesitate to declare to any country that I will publish it in the Beijing News.

    In addition, in view of the special situation in the northwest frontier, we will consider giving each branch a certain number of guards and equipping them with a certain amount of weapons or fire to protect the safety of the branches.  "

    The two brothers of the Fan family couldn't help but move slightly when they heard this. No court would ever launch a war against the outside world for the sake of the people's property. Zhenwu's words were bound to cause a stir in the newspapers in Beijing, and both the Shanxi merchants and the sea would be delighted by it.

    "As for taxes." Zhenwu paused for a moment before continuing: "The ticket number must be turned over to the court for taxes, not thirty draws for pure profit and ten draws. Not only the ticket numbers of Shanxi merchants, but all the ticket numbers are like the 'Four Great Constants'"  ' is no exception. The imperial court will station accounting supervisors in the main office and each branch office, and the salary will be paid by the imperial court.

    Semicolons are allowed to be opened in various places. The provincial capital and above are allowed to open in three to five prefectures and cities. One to three counties are allowed. Only one banknote style must be consistent with the "Four Dahengs", but the name does not need to be blank. The banknotes will all be issued by the "Four Dahengs".  'supply.  "

    The two brothers of the Fan family couldn't help but wonder how those merchants would agree to such a high tax. Fan Yubin hesitated and said: "The common people of the emperor are worried that the merchants will not be willing to take shares."

    Zhenwu said indifferently: "Ten draws and one draw sounds high, but in fact it is not a pure profit. How can it be so high? How can a ticket account earn two million a year and only pay 200,000 to the court? How can it be so high?"

    Fan Yubin couldn't help but secretly think that the Qing Dynasty's commercial taxation was divided into two types: "sitting tax" and "excessive tax".  The toll tax is usually paid when passing the checkpoint, which is usually 20 draws. Although it is not only the same as the toll station, it has to be collected once, but it accumulates to be high.

    Sitting tax is a "landing tax" that is levied when goods are sold in stores. It is levied by local officials and is reserved for local finance. There is no uniform tax across the country and is left to local decisions. This is precisely because the "sitting tax" item is very confusing to local officials.  You will definitely have to pay extra tax at branches in various places where you can easily ask for the ticket number if you have a good name.I'm afraid it's going to be a tax rate of 50% to 10%.

    Fan Yuqi plucked up the courage and said: "Although there is no 'over-tax' in the imperial bank account, it is unavoidable to 'sitting on the tax'. Otherwise, it will be difficult for branches to establish local branches. If it is turned over to the court, it will be taxed in ten places. I am afraid it will also be ten draws. It is really difficult to develop such a bank account."  .¡±

    Zhenwu said with a smile: "I have long heard that local officials levied random taxes without permission. I was instigating the reform of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes in the capital and Jiangning in order to unify and manage the local tax numbers and no longer have to pay "sitting taxes". The imperial court and the  The local governments will be divided in a ratio of three to seven. There is no need to worry about local harassment. However, any unscrupulous officials who ask for payment first and then provide evidence to confirm that I will be dismissed."

    Hearing this, the two brothers of the Fan family couldn't help but secretly sigh. Zhenwu's move was actually intended to protect the ticket number from arbitrary expropriation. Fan Yubin immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty has given such a strong support to the Shanxi Merchants United Ticket Number, and the ticket number will be listed as soon as possible." Weiwei  Then he continued: "The common people sincerely pray to the emperor to grant a name plaque to the Shanxi Merchants United Bank."

    Zhenwu smiled slightly and said: "I never give names to merchants, so I will make an exception for Shanxi merchants." He said with a slight sigh: "Let's call it 'Jin Hesheng'."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name." The two of them hurriedly bowed, while Fan Yuqi hurriedly went to get the paper. As the saying goes, wait until the heat is hot to know whether Zhenwu will change his mind tomorrow.

    Zhenwu glanced at Fan Yuqi and smiled slightly before saying: "'Jin Hesheng' has just been established, so I don't require you to carry out low-interest lending or interest-free disaster relief like the 'Four Great Hengs', but you must have accurate three or five  We must start to carry out low-interest lending in scale and gradually expand the number of votes this year. I still have a lot of ambitions to not only make money but also to benefit the country and support the development of commerce and handicrafts. This is a virtuous circle of mutual benefit."
