Mou Bin said, sighing.
He didn¡¯t dare to argue with the prince and Fang Jifan.
I just want to prove my worth and my ability.
"So, now I have to mobilize all the thousands and hundreds of Jinyiwei's offices. No matter how difficult it is, we must not slack off."
Mou Bin can only explain like this. At this time, it would be pale to say anything more. I just hope that everyone in the Jinyi Guards can do their best to bring the White Lotus Sect group to justice.
Early the next morning, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Mou Bin to the palace.
When Mou Bin saw the driver, he saw Emperor Hongzhi holding the latest statistical data in his hand, while Xiao Jing was waiting on him.
This new statistical data looked extremely shocking, and Emperor Hongzhi showed a look of deep thought on his face.
Fang Xiaofan designed a new statistical method, which is to discount all output, and then calculate the production value of each prefecture and county based on taxes.
Although this calculation method may not be completely accurate, it can roughly tell something about the output of each prefecture and county.
In the latest year¡¯s statistics.
The growth in the capital was particularly high, with its output more than double that of last year. This is naturally related to the large influx of disaster victims, as well as the output of various constructions and countless workshops.
Secondly, there is the Chief Envoy of Baoding. The Chief Envoy of Baoding only manages one prefecture and one state. Among the provinces, the area under its jurisdiction is extremely small, but its growth is also unprecedented.
The output of the capital and the Chief Envoy of Baoding has actually exceeded that of the originally prosperous Jiangnan provinces, so much so that the combined output of South Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces is still far behind.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the tax situation again, and the gap became even wider. Because of the promotion of commercial taxes in the capital and Baoding, the annual revenue of the national treasury has reached 19 million taels of silver, which is higher than that of other provinces. The difference of ten times, each province adopts a tax in kind, but
Emperor Hongzhi picked up the reports from other provinces, and the governors and envoys of the provinces seemed to be urged by the gentry to pay the silver tax.
The reason is that in the past, everyone was willing to pay taxes in kind. This is because taxes in kind can be divided into good and bad, good and bad, and there is a lot of loss, which gives many people the opportunity to take advantage of it.
They also claim to have turned in grain, but the newly handed over grain can be divided into good rice and bad rice. But after it is sent to the grain depot, it is rice.
As for food, it always needs to be transported. During the transportation process, manpower and material resources are required, and the food will inevitably be lost, which is another input.
However, due to inflation, people are no longer willing to pay taxes in kind. After all, the same pound of rice may be worth three cents in the first half of the year, and it may be worth four cents in the second half of the year. People realize that the value of assets can change at any time. With the changes and the increase in commercial activities, it is becoming easier and easier to sell goods. Many merchants now go directly to various villages and towns to purchase grain directly, eliminating a lot of trouble.
So, why not pay taxes in silver?
Emperor Hongzhi pondered and said calmly.
"Nowadays, the bank's banknotes have been promoted, and this transaction is getting easier and easier. Howeverbanknotes must also beware of the lessons learned from the Ming Dynasty BaobaoThe new policies of Baoding Prefecture have been effective. This is the credit of Ouyang Zhi Ah, with Baoding Chief Envoy as an example, the implementation of the New Deal is on the right track. I think Ouyang Zhi should be summoned back to Beijing."
Then, Emperor Hongzhi murmured to himself: "As for calculating taxes in silver and implementing the one-whip method, I think the time has come. However, grain is the foundation of the imperial court. For other practical matters, taxes can be calculated based on grain. Food, but don¡¯t rush it.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, picked up his ink pen, approved a note, and handed it to Xiao Jing: "Send it to the cabinet for discussion. What I mean is that other provinces can use silver instead of grain to calculate taxes. Only the Jiangnan provinces , but it must not be done. Let the cabinet come up with a charter."
Xiao Jing naturally understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant. He took the approval slip and nodded obediently.
Jiangnan¡¯s grain tax accounts for half of the world¡¯s grain tax.
It¡¯s not that Jiangnan¡¯s grain production accounts for half of the entire world, but there is a Grand Canal connecting Jiangnan and the capital. It is convenient to transport grain with minimal losses. It can be directly transported by water, which also saves manpower. If other provinces harvest If half a catty of grain is delivered to the capital, it would be considered Amitabha. The grain tax is indeed of little significance.
"Go." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand gently towards Xiao Jing who nodded.
After hearing this, Xiao Jing bowed his body and responded. He was about to leave. He raised his head and glanced at Mou Bin.
&nMou Bin was confused: ""
After a long time, he took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, the joy of moving into a house is it's it's the guests giving gifts to the host. It's not the host giving gifts to"
"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, with a look of coming back to his senses: "I see, I was wrong."
Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "To put it more specifically, I am the emperor, and I am the master of Shuntian Mansion, right? Let's go, I want to see who those White Lotus Sect are."
Mou Bin has extremely complicated thoughts.
But Emperor Hongzhi had no intention of blaming him. At this time, he dared not neglect and immediately followed Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi drove and got into the car. Surrounded by the imperial guards, he walked all the way out of the palace. After walking for more than an hour, he finally saw the Shuntian Mansion in the distance.
?Looking from a distance.
The Shuntian Mansion is actually extremely majestic and occupies a large area. It has a main building and dozens of auxiliary buildings.
Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car and looked around, thinking that he must have spent a lot of money.
