After completing the matter in Panyu County, Zhu Qi would follow Zhu Yuanzhang to return to Nanning Prefecture, Guangdong to inspect the customs handling matters.

This is also what Zhu Yuanzhang attached most to when he came to Guangdong and Guangxi.

Panyu County Magistrate Daotong naturally followed him to see him off.

Daotong wanted to follow the Liao King and the Emperor. After all, as a local county magistrate, he was unreasonable to see the emperor coming and not follow him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him follow him, but asked him to stay in Panyu County to deal with the remaining matters, such as assisting the Jinyiwei to confiscate Zhu Liangzu's home.

At this time, the county magistrate of Panyu County, Daotong, saw that His Highness the King of Liao and His Majesty the Emperor were leaving, his face was very reluctant.

He sent it all the way outside the Shili Pavilion. Daotong knew that he could not send it again and had to go back, so he said to His Highness the King of Liao:

"If it weren't for the palace descendants coming to Panyu, maybe my life would be gone."

Daotong already knew that Zhu Liangzu wrote an impeachment letter in advance and sent it to Yingtian Prefecture, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already come to Guangdong and Guangxi, so he missed the impeachment letter.

Later, Zhu Qi talked about this matter mainly to let Zhu Yuanzhang know about it.

But it sounds different to Daotong.

This is clearly His Highness the King of Liao saved his life.

If it weren't for His Highness of the Liao King, the impeachment letter was sent to the emperor, and the emperor would have believed in him or Zhu Liangzu, maybe it would have been possible.

So in Daotong's heart, he was still very grateful to His Highness the King of Liao. Zhu Qi didn't know this, but just waved his hand casually and said that this was what he should do.

However, Zhu Qi was actually a little selfish when he saved Daotong. He pulled Daotong and said in a low voice:

"I will go back to the vassal of Liao. I will recommend it to the court to go to Liaodong to become an official. If you don't dislike it, please don't refuse."

When Daotong heard this, he didn't expect His Highness, the King of Liao, to say so.

However, it is not impossible to be a county magistrate in Liaodong.

But Zhu Qi actually planned to elect Dao to be the prefect of Liaodong.

After all, it would be a pity if such a good official only serves as a county magistrate. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If the upper beam is straightened, the lower beam will be somewhat restrained.

Moreover, it is convenient for people who know the truth to deal with it.

In the future, if I become a vassal king in Liaodong, I will inevitably have to deal with local administrative officials. It is better to deal with Taoism than to deal with corrupt officials.

After all, Zhu Qi just wanted to save some trouble, and those corrupt officials might cause you a lot of trouble at any time.

And Daotong is trustworthy and will be able to take care of the place in an orderly manner.

After Zhu Qi finished speaking, don’t let Daotong go back quickly, and then he followed the emperor’s carriage and horses towards Nanning Mansion.

Only the same person stood there, thinking about something.

Zhu Qi's idea of ​​letting Daotong go to Liaodong to become an official, I told Zhu Yuanzhang before that it was nothing more than the newly recovered land in Liaodong and the people's hearts were unstable.

Therefore, people's hearts must be well managed.

Instead of arranging some unknown people to become officials in Liaodong, it would be better to let Daotong go there. At least he is a good official. If he is a local official there, it will be beneficial to the people's hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang also thought it made sense, not to mention that Daotong is now just a county magistrate. After such a thing happened, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the love and respect of the local couple Daotong.

Instead of letting him continue to be the county magistrate, it is better to be transferred to Liaodong to be the prefect.

There is also a vacancy, so let Daotong fill it in directly.

Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Qi, they didn't take this matter seriously. The two soon arrived in Nanning and then went to the tariff experiment.

After all, this is the frontier. As the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang had to go there.

If an ordinary emperor is released, he must not pass by casually, but who is Zhu Yuanzhang? He once rode a horse and a gun on the battlefield, and killed the enemy on the front line.

This kind of thing is not a danger to him.

The tariff experiment site is not particularly complicated. The Ming Dynasty had border inspections, and exports such as iron or firearms were absolutely prohibited.

Based on these border inspections, a special tariff institution is established, and all goods entering the market must be paid tax.

Zhu Qi arranged for the students who used to handle the tariffs in an orderly manner, and the Jinyiwei assisted them.

The tariff collection can be said to be quite smooth.

And it's only half a month, and the tariffs collected are already quite considerable.

Zhu Qi gave the account book to Zhu Yuanzhang and briefly flipped it out.

In half a month, the tariffs in Guangxi alone were collected, with nearly tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is really a real daily wage of gold.

And this is just a tariff. If the tariffs are spread out across the country...

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unimaginable. Just collecting tariffs would probably be worth all the money collected from farmers.

It is natural that tariffs are so profitable. In feudal society, money was naturally gradually concentrated in the hands of merchants and officials.

Before modern history, it was extremely difficult for the feudal dynasty to collect taxes from these officials and merchants.

The main reason is that the huge group of vested interestrs has been built, just like the beautiful country today, and the elections behind them are actually supported and manipulated by major consortiums.

The so-called two parties also represent the interests of major consortiums.

The same was true for the official feudal dynasty, but officials were not manipulated by capital, but used capital to make money.

If you say too much, it is too complicated and cannot be expanded, so that's all.

In short, in one sentence, this tariff is a cake that touches merchants.

And it’s not just a small cut, but a 40% profit cut. Can you not make money?

Although the feudal dynasties all emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, these wealth could be concentrated in the hands of these merchants.

Of course, after they make money, some of them should respect the people above, which is another matter.

In the late Qing Dynasty, tariffs were issued, and the annual income increased by several times.

The Qing Dynasty, which was so bad that it could last for decades with tariffs, not to mention now, it is like the Ming Dynasty that is rising at the peak of the day.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the sweetness of tariffs, he naturally had high hopes for tariffs.

He told Zhu Qi to do this matter well and then gradually promote it.

After all, no one will think that money is too little. Without money, you really can’t do anything!

Zhu Qi naturally agreed, and he could not refuse this. He had already given Guangxi tariff work. If he turned it down, wouldn’t he confirm that he was coming to Guangxi to find Lan Xian'er?

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was scolded to death.

It is already December and the weather is getting colder.

After inspecting the Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong area, Zhu Yuanzhang also took Zhu Qi back to Yingtian Prefecture quickly, and the New Year was about to come.

In the new year, many sacrificial ritual meetings need to be presided over by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so naturally they cannot be delayed at will.

The happiest person is naturally Lan Xian'er. Not only did he return to Zhu Qi's side, but he also saw with his own eyes that his father's enemy was brought to justice.

Although it was not done by myself, it was planned and designed by my fiancé from beginning to end.

It can be regarded as indirectly taking revenge.

As for Zhu Liangzu, what awaits him is naturally the death penalty.

And it is not as simple as killing or hanging, but rather whipping to death directly in front of the civil and military ministers at the court meeting.

This can also be regarded as a warning to the civil and military ministers not to do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

Don’t play with the people of the Ming Dynasty as fish. If someone dares to do this, the outcome will be like Zhu Liangzu. Not to mention the iron coupon for exemption from death, even the gold coupon for exemption from death will save his life!
