- In a workshop of Caiyun Textile Factory in Beijing, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were inspecting the production conditions of the workshop and chatting.
Both of them took the imperial examination in the same year. Liu Jin was the number one scholar and Wang Shouren was the top pick. Now, many years later, Liu Jin has become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wang Shouren is now the third-rank official. He is the tax governor of Jiangnan and the governor of the Jiangnan region. tax collection matters.
The Jiangnan Tax Governor was established after Liu Jin reformed the Ming Dynasty's taxation. Because a special tax office was established, the tax office was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Household Department and was not subject to the jurisdiction of local officials. Therefore, some high-level tax officials were also set up accordingly. .
The Governor of Jiangnan Taxation is one of them, and is in charge of tax collection work in the entire Jiangnan region.
Both of them were named on the gold medal list at the same time, and they were both young and promising. They had already become important ministers of the imperial court, and they often exchanged letters.
This time, officials from all over the border areas came to Beijing to report on their work. As a third-rank official, Wang Shouren also wanted to go to Beijing to report on his work and talk about his tax work in the Jiangnan area in the past few years.
"Old Wang, the business of your textile factory has been really good in the past few years. Now it has become the leader in the textile industry." 99om 牺如
Liu Jin looked at the extremely busy workshop in front of him. Caiyun Textile Factory has always been a benchmark for the Ming Dynasty's textile industry. It was the first to be established, the first to use new textile machines and looms, the first to use steam engines, and the first to mass-produce garments. factory.
Because ready-made clothing has gradually become more popular in recent years and has a tendency to replace the original cloth, Caiyun Textile Factory has also become the first company to take the cake. It has developed extremely rapidly and its scale is very large.
¡°Nowadays, there are not only large-scale factories in Beijing and Tianjin, but also branch factories in Wang Shouren¡¯s hometown of Zhejiang, as well as branches in Songhu, Xiyu, Hebei and other places.
The combined number of factories employs more than 100,000 people, the total annual production value exceeds 20 million taels of silver, and the profit exceeds 5 million taels of silver. It is definitely a hen that lays golden eggs.
At that time, it was just a textile factory established by Wang Shouren to experiment with an idea in his mind. Now it has become the most important industry in the hands of the Wang family.
By comparison, the land, houses, and shops owned by the Wang family in Zhejiang are extremely insignificant. Of course, the Wang family has also invested heavily in many new industries over the years.
Plantations in Nanyang, pastures, plantations, wineries in the Western Regions, Hazhong, and Nanyun Province, commercial houses engaged in maritime trade and transportation, cement factories, shipyards, etc., have investments in many fields, and the scale is very large, as if It has become one of the representatives of Ming Dynasty¡¯s new capitalism.
But this Caiyun Textile Factory is still very important to the Wang family, because it can bring huge cash flow and considerable profits. In comparison, other industries are much inferior, and together they are not as good as this Caiyun Textile Factory. Si minus Si
¡°It is all thanks to the prosperity of our Ming Empire that we have achieved today¡¯s achievements.¡±
Wang Shouren smiled and said modestly.
He is a person who is very good at learning and thinking. To him, building such a huge textile factory seems to be a very trivial matter.
Of course, Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, knew very well how powerful the man in front of him was. Compared with his other achievements, this was really insignificant.
"What do you think about going to Jiangnan to governor Jiangnan Taxation?"
Liu Jin smiled. When he was with Lao Wang next to him, Liu Jin always felt that he was weak and had no choice. Anyone who was with such an awesome person would be the same.
But fortunately, I have become good friends with Lao Wang over the years, and we can chat with each other very well.
"My impression is that it is difficult to collect taxes in Jiangnan!"
"It's not just difficult to collect, it's very difficult to collect. Even if the tax yamen uses force to collect taxes, it's still very difficult and the resistance is huge."
Wang Shouren sighed without even thinking about it.
"Tell me in detail~"
Liu Jin nodded slightly. It was precisely because it was difficult to collect taxes in the Jiangnan area that he sent Lao Wang there. It was useless to send ordinary officials there, and only Lao Wang could do it.
¡°First of all, officials in the Jiangnan region, including the chief envoy and governor, are unwilling to cooperate with the work of our tax yamen, and even go against our tax yamen.¡±
"We are tax policemen who go to arrest people. We are from the government yamen.?, it is impossible to levy your own taxes. 牺如 9bzw.com 牺如
Had it not been for the fact that Emperor Hongzhi severely weakened the power of scholars in the Jiangnan area through several severe attacks on officials from Jiangnan, Liu Jin's tax reform in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the introduction of commercial tax, and the establishment of tax yamen would not have been possible. Don't even try to make it happen.
Even now, Emperor Hongzhi can still receive countless memorials to impeach the tax yamen, demanding that the tax yamen be abolished, commercial taxes be abolished, and the government should not compete with the people for profit. ãá reduce .com ãá
The demise of the Ming Dynasty, analyzed from an economic perspective, was actually a matter of money. Mi He Mi
The court has no money, so it can¡¯t do anything. It can¡¯t build up the army, and it can¡¯t afford disaster relief.
Wealthy businessmen and gentry do not need to pay taxes and cannot collect their taxes. They live in a state of dissipation and wealth. The poor people who have no money can hardly even survive, but they have to bear the huge taxes of the entire country.
Even if there is no foreign invasion, if this continues, the Ming Dynasty will perish
