As for why we don¡¯t issue money directly, but issue coupons. Because money can be saved, doesn¡¯t it mean that people¡¯s hair will go gray if they save money? At least this is the case for Mr. Zhao.
¡°Consumption coupons have an expiration date and a consumption scope. They can stimulate consumption more than real money and silver, and are more conducive to targeted support of key industrial and commercial industries. Of course Mr. Zhao will choose the latter.
¡°And he knew very well that for the common people, it was a matter of course to hand over the emperor¡¯s grain. If you can get the coupon back, you are getting a free deal, and you will never be picky.
Sure enough, as soon as it was time to collect taxes in Kunshan County, the people immediately rushed to the gates of several official warehouses with sacks on their shoulders to queue up to pay the taxes, fearing that they would not be able to get the coupons if they paid the taxes late. Why is there any need to collect money?
The difference between them and real money or silver tickets is that firstly, consumption coupons have a time limit and must be used before the New Year, and they will become invalid after expiration. The second is to purchase goods at designated merchants. In order to make those merchants accept the coupons with confidence, the county has paid them half of the silver coupons in advance.
As for the other half of the amount, you have to wait until the end of the year to redeem it with consumption coupons at Jiangnan Bank. In this way, merchants will actively promote sales in order to earn more consumer coupons, which will also promote the popularity of the business atmosphere in the county and drive the prosperity of various industries in the county.
"A conservative estimate is that after the county spent one tael of silver, it ended up bringing back at least five taels of 'chicken's fart'!"
??????????????????????? Well, this seems to be the trick that a certain Mr. Zhao, who wishes to remain anonymous, has done in the name of his father.
¡° According to Mr. Zhao¡¯s wishes, he wants to give money directly to the people. But Zhao Hao firmly stopped him. Giving money directly was too eye-catching and would be said to be an invitation to buy people's hearts.
Even if you distribute food, it won't work. Are you going to withdraw the imperial food at your request? Have you asked the emperor?
?????????????????????????????????? For the sake of those sets of Weisheng porcelain Oh no, His Majesty has always loved the people like a son, so he should agree. But the Paw Patrol Team would not let go of this opportunity to bite his father and son. Isn¡¯t that just doing bad things with good intentions?
So Zhao Hao designed this routine. Let the county issue coupons in the name of encouraging people to pay taxes early and pay more. He knew very well that the economics level of the Paw Paw Team was equivalent to lack of level. You can get them in by going in this circle.
This is indeed the case. Inspector Su Song and Bing Beidao both asked Kunshan County why tax coupons are issued?
The answer is: It is to let everyone pay more taxes and solve the chronic problem of tax arrears plaguing the yamen!
Where did these coupons come from? Of course I bought it from a merchant.
Why spend money to buy coupons? This is to increase industrial and commercial tax revenue and reward key enterprises in the county. And it was bought at half price, which was not even enough for the merchants to recoup their original investment, it was just to help them get through the difficult start-up period.
What? Did you transfer the other half of the money to replenish them in the new year? That's two different things. That¡¯s the corporate reward for the new year!
Basically, at this point, the attention of the paw team will shift to why it is so good for industry and commerce.
The answer is that there is no way. Kunshan is densely populated and has too little land. If we don¡¯t want people to starve to death, we can only develop industry and commerce like Suzhou did, so that everyone can have work and food to eat.
In this way, the people paid taxes enthusiastically, and the court's tax revenue increased. The people themselves have also received great benefits; the businesses to be supported by the county have also grown rapidly; the prosperity of Kunshan County has also improved rapidly Everyone has lived a good life, is there any problem?
Inspector Su Song and Bing Beidao, who came to inspect, were sent back in confusion like this. We can only shout in the memorial that the Kunshan experience cannot be replicated.
Of course, Mr. Zhao said, ¡®What worries me the most is how to get the lowest level of royal food¡¯, which is not nonsense.
Because according to the regulations of Hai Rui's Yingtian New Deal, Su and Song's Second Mansion still had to pay grain taxes and could not exchange everything for silver like elsewhere. So Kunshan County is still collecting grain.
People are so enthusiastic about paying taxes that they end up paying too much. After paying enough for the royal grain, the rest is stored in the warehouse. The weather in Kunshan is so bad that it will get moldy!

The scorching sun enveloped the Chaozhou government office. The lobby was spacious and airy, with a high roof, but it was still cool.
Throughout the morning, Zhao Shouzheng had an in-depth exchange with two subordinate officials and ten county magistrates on the current situation of Chaozhou Prefecture.
Then he announced his plan to revitalize Chaozhou - with the city as the leader and economic construction as the bridge, unite the scattered counties and lead the people of the province out of poverty!
Basically, it¡¯s what he told Lin Run, the five major chronic diseases, the six major problems, and the set of countermeasures.
By the time he finished his long speech, it was almost noon.
At this time, Fan Datong came in and asked when the banquet would start.
Only then did Zhao Shouzheng stop talking.Liu Rugao's face darkened, he took a deep breath and followed him out quickly.
"Thank you very much." All the magistrates thanked him one after another. Now they had time to savor every bite of the dishes.
Qin Zhixian just swallowed the pill. He didn't know if he was choking, but his eye circles were a little red. He said sadly in his heart:
¡®Despicable, it was obviously me first¡¯
??~~
In Tongzhiguan's flower hall, cool music has been installed, which is quite cool.
Zhao Shouzheng also learned how to make Chaozhou Kung Fu tea. He had a complete set of tea sets prepared, sat in front of Kule, opened his posture, and prepared the tea in a decent manner. It's quite bluffing.
Liu Rugao sat across from the tea table, but beads of sweat continued to form on his forehead.
Since he came in, his brother has been silent, which has put him under great psychological pressure.
Finally, Liu Zhixian couldn't hold himself any longer. He felt relieved, lifted up his robe, and knelt down by the tea table.
"Brother, I apologize to you!" He kowtows.
"Okay, what are you doing?" Zhao Shouzheng scolded him, making him stunned.
"I told you then that I don't blame you. Do you think I'm someone who goes back on my word?" Zhao Shouzheng looked at him and smiled.
Liu Rugao hurriedly pinched his balls hard, and burst into tears and said: "Brother doesn't blame the younger brother, the younger brother blames himself even more."
"Just blame yourself. Look, didn't I defend Chaozhou City without using your soldiers?" Mr. Zhao finally said that he had wanted to pretend to be Boyi against Liu Rugao all the time.
