Can the Jinyiwei do the errands of the Ministry of Revenue well?

This is a very question worth thinking about.

Let's assume it's OK... If the Jinyiwei Store, the Ministry of Revenue will be dispensable. In other words, the things from the Ministry of Revenue will be useless.

Zhu Di will not only kill them, but also destroy the nine clans of these things.

Moreover, for civil servants, they have lost the bargaining chips to challenge the emperor. You must know that civil servants have always liked to say a word that they can win the world immediately, but they cannot rule the world immediately.

In other words, martial artists can only fight and govern the people, and they must rely on them.

Since we have to rely on them, we have to give civil servants some sweetness, and even to indulge them in acting cute and cute. In extreme cases, there is a saying that kings and scholars and officials will rule the world together.

However, once someone can replace civil servants, the situation will be different.

For them, that was definitely a catastrophe!

It makes people feel chilling when thinking about it, the sky collapses and the earth is broken!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!"

This is Hu Guang's opinion, "I admit that the Jinyiwei has some skills, and Liu Chun is also able to excel, but the Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei. How can they manage the huge financial and taxation system? Isn't this a joke?

Yang Rong said with a stern face: "You are not afraid of ten thousand in everything, but you are afraid of it. Over the years, the Jinyiwei impeached many officials, which shows that their level is still very high."

Jin Youzi said, "I don't think so. The Jinyiwei people are just arresting people. They are experts in finding faults, but it may not be necessary to let them do things. And I don't believe that the Jinyiwei is so clean? Don't forget that some time ago, Liu Chun also handled a lot of Jinyiwei in Peking. I don't believe that Jinyiwei can do it well if I say hell!"

These people looked at each other. Since that's the case, then wait and see the jokes of the Jinyiwei!

"Everyone in the world is staring at us. This time it is important. We must show our true abilities." Liu Chun chuckled and said, "For many years, we have been dealing with civil servants, punishing corrupt officials, and working diligently for the sake of the world. Now, Your Majesty has handed us the most important Ministry of Revenue. Whether the Jinyiwei can carry this burden depends on our ability."

Liu Chun didn’t have many bold words, but every word said that it was in the hearts of these Jinyiwei’s leaders, and the pressure was as high as a mountain!

But the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation.

The Jinyiwei was able to fight wars in the past, but later he could supervise all officials. Now, there is nothing wrong with governing the country.

The core of finance is nothing more than two things. One is to collect the money, and the other is to spend the collected money.

As for how to collect money and how to spend money, it is really difficult for Jinyiwei to defeat Jinyiwei.

After several days of discussion, Liu Chun handed over a detailed plan to Zhu Di.

When this plan was delivered, Zhu Di only said three words after reading it: "It's so wonderful!"

What wonderful methods did the Jinyiwei have come up with to get such praise from the emperor?

First of all, Liu Chun believes that the price is uniformly calculated based on the various taxes in the previous year... For all grain crops, the price of each stone is always the same, the price of cloth and silk is ten thousand yuan, and the price of sugar and oil is two thousand yuan... According to Liu Chun's method, the total tax amount of the Ming Dynasty in the year was calculated.

This price-making method is actually almost no different from Yu Xin's discount method, and it is even more rough. Yu Xin also distinguishes rice, corn, sesame, etc., but Liu Chun did not do this, but was generally divided into grain, sugar, oil, and cloth.

Wouldn't this cause greater tax collection difficulties?

How powerful can your surname Liu be than Yu Xin?

Can the Jinyiwei do things according to the rules and be cleaner than the original civil servants of the Ministry of Revenue?

Like a joke, both the cabinet and the six ministries sneered at it.

But when they saw the half below again, they were stunned.

This time I was completely stunned.

The valuation method used by Liu Chun is not used for taxation at all, but as a certificate for the issuance of currency.

Let's give an example.

Take Changsha Prefecture as an example. Last year, if the tax was provided with 200,000 shi, the bank in Changsha Prefecture will receive 200,000 jin of money this year. The 200,000 jin of money is used to purchase grain in local warehouses, while the taxes of the court are levied to collect money.

In other words, ordinary people can sell the production to warehouses in exchange for currency, and then hand it over to local government offices.

If you directly collect taxes, you will directly collect taxes. Why do you do such a complicated set of things? Does the person named Liu take off his pants and fart?

Those Hanlin officials who are not very clear-headed and some censors all have this view.

But the officials of the cabinet, including the officials of the six ministries, quickly understood Liu Chun's cleverness and couldn't help but swear. This method can be said to have solved all the shortcomings of the Ministry of Revenue, and also implemented the One-Whip Method to realize the money going to the countryside.

The more I think about it, the more amazing it makes people feel proud.

Let’s first analyze it from the one-whip method... Many historians regard the one-whip method as a good method, but they ignore two fatal injuries.

In the case of severe currency shortage, forcing the people to pay the silver will inevitably lead to the problem of low grain and low grain harming farmers.

In order to get the money, ordinary people have to sell grain at a low price. Coupled with the problem of fire consumption, the people have been exploited twice.

Secondly, in the context of underdeveloped commodity economy, collecting currency alone may not be able to be successfully exchanged for materials. There are only so many things on the market. When the imperial court sells more, the people will naturally be less, and prices will also rise.

This has been verified in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

As expenditures outside the customs increase, supplies must be requisitioned. As a result, prices in the north soared, and grain even exceeded 2 taels per stone. The bankruptcy of the people intensified, and it developed from external troubles to internal troubles, which eventually could not be cured.

In addition to the one-whip method, Liu Chun belongs to an official system for purchasing grain.

Since this system is officially responsible, there is a minimum price guarantee.

The common people think that the merchants offer a good price, so they sell it to the merchants. If the merchants offer a price, they will hand it over to the government to provide a support. In this way, the low price of the merchants can be avoided from harming farmers to the greatest extent.

When ordinary people get the money to sell grain, they can go to the court to pay taxes, which solves the problem of insufficient currency.

The imperial court unified the collection of currency, which was convenient and simple, and could prevent the original drawbacks of tax collection.

In addition, due to the existence of official warehouses in various places, when the court needs materials, it does not need to buy them from the market, but can be adjusted through the official warehouse system.

In this way, it can not only ensure sufficient materials, but also prevent excessive fluctuations in market prices and adversely affect the court.

The more analysed the cabinet, the more clever the people felt.

Is there no drawbacks in this plan?

There are, too!

Huang Huai said: "It is indeed convenient to collect taxes, but the warehouses and treasurys in various places need to add many officials, add branches of the Royal Bank, and establish granary warehouses. These are expenses, and there are not a few. Taking care of the people, the court will bear the burden... Since ancient times, there has never been a best of both worlds." Huang Huai suddenly blushed when he said this because he found that in this plan, the Jinyiwei represented by Liu Chun took care of the people. And these civil officials usually shouted slogans of pleading for the people.

At the critical moment, they thought less than the Jinyiwei for the people.

It's really shameful!

Zhu Di also has this complaint. Could it be that he will suffer another loss?

But even if he suffers a loss, he admits it.

"I will not be stingy when I should spend the money!" Zhu Di said boldly.

Liu Chun smiled, "Your Majesty, please try it again and see if the court will suffer a loss?"

Zhu Di frowned, wouldn't he suffer a loss? Where did the money come from?

Zhu Laosizai was careful and afterwards, he suddenly discovered that one link was reported by Liu Chun, that is, Royal Bank. The money for the warehouse to purchase grain came from Royal Bank.

"Liu Chun, what you mean is to ask me to issue more currency, right?"

Liu Chun smiled and said, "It is not an additional issuance, but providing appropriate currency to activate private transactions. Your Majesty, after experiencing equalization of fields, the private sector has already gained some savings and the market is becoming more and more prosperous. If you only stay in the stage of bartering, it will be of no help to the court. But if you can continue to promote currency transactions, the vast rural areas can consume a huge amount of currency, and these currencies have emerged out of thin air. To put it bluntly, it is what Your Majesty earns!"

Zhu Di's breathing became rapid and his eyes turned red.

Needless to say, he knew how much money there was in it! It was definitely an incalculable number... "Liu Chun, can the people accept it?" Zhu Di's voice trembled, his heart was surging, and he had reached the extreme. It was like a super huge landslide lake, with only the last stone left to block it.

OK, or not?

"Your Majesty, this is the purpose of me to propose to add a warehouse to ensure the purchase of grain!"

boom!

Zhu Di felt a thunder explode and no longer hesitated.

It's clear, it's all clear!

The common people will not accept paper money for no reason. No matter how the court promotes it, a large number of people will be unwilling to ask for it.

But if the banknotes are linked to tax payment, the banknotes are issued by purchasing grain, and then the banknotes are reflowed through tax collection.

This process inadvertently establishes the authority of paper money.

This is not something like Baochao that is promoted by the imperial order, but is established by fair transactions. Of course, the people will accept it and are willing to accept it.

"Your Majesty, according to my estimates, we can issue more than 20% of the banknotes every year, and this amount is the extra income of the court."

Zhu Di took a sudden breath, his old face turned red, and he was so happy.

"The trick is really wonderful!" Zhu Di rubbed his hands excitedly, "Liu Chun, you have helped me so much again, and I don't know how to reward you anymore. Why don't I kill Zhu Quan and then use Daning as your fiefdom?"

Liu Chun turned black as soon as he heard this. Zhu Laosi, are you really disgusting me?

"Your Majesty, I don't want to give you a reward. If your Majesty wants, I will give you some salary."

"Salary? How much do you want?"

Liu Chun stretched out a finger.

Zhu Di was shocked, "Do you want 100,000? Or one million?"

Although this little money is nothing compared to contribution, Zhu Di is also very distressed.

"I don't want that much, I only have a hundred coins."

When Zhu Di heard this, he sighed relieved, "Hahaha, Liu Chun, you are so polite. In fact, one thousand guan is OK."

Liu Chun shook his head, "If it doesn't work, His Majesty can't afford it."

Zhu Di doesn't like to listen anymore, "What do you mean? In your eyes, I'm just a poor man?"

Liu Chun chuckled, "Okay, Your Majesty will increase the salary of each official by 1,000 stake. I, the Ming Dynasty, can Your Majesty afford it?"

"Ahem!" Zhu Di almost choked. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Liu Chun, "What do you mean? I can't kill those bastards! How could I raise their salary? It's just a delusion! No! I can't do it!"

Liu Chun shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty, this is impossible. Royal Bank issues more currency. If the salary is not increased, the actual income of all officials will decrease. Then no one will be willing to do it."

Zhu Di snorted, "No one wants to do it, just use your Jinyiwei people. Aren't they doing it well!"

Liu Chun pondered for a moment and bowed and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. The Jinyiwei is grateful. Since this is the case, I dare to ask Your Majesty to increase your salary to the Jinyiwei!"

"You!" Zhu Di was so angry that he glared at him. He understood that no matter who he used, the money would have to be spent.
