Min Youjian:

"This idea is good, but what if the princes and local governments object?"

"What if they are against it?"

"Then isn't the situation in the Ming Dynasty even more chaotic?"

He still has doubts.

After all, the vassal kings are in the same lineage as him, and I can't bear it.

Fang Heng sneered.

The vassal kings and local officials did object.

But who cares?

Can those anti-kings accept them?

wishful thinking!

The idea of ​​killing vassal kings, killing landlords, dividing land, and wealth is to kill them. Without blood or profit, they will never turn back.

When the anti-king king hits his doorstep, they can only do two things, either to lose money and avoid disasters, or to contribute money and work on their own, or they can only wait for the anti-king king to break through the city, plunder all their property, and kill all of them!

No matter how you choose, it will be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

and......

If he were Zhu Youjian, he would even want these local vassal kings to prepare for private troops. He would not have to watch them grow bigger, but to be the first to be the oriole, and to accept all the soldiers!

The imperial army also needs fresh blood.

Forcedly gathering private soldiers was just a statement to the civil and military officials of the court, as well as clans. The court did not recommend doing this. Everything was dominated by the Ming army, and forced local vassal kings to lose money and avoid disasters.

Disrupting money and avoiding disasters is just the beginning...

After all, the court did not really get real money.

After the local area is pacified, the ‘commercial tax’ will begin to be imposed!

Each place is settled and one place is collected!

This is not a nominal business tax, it is determined based on each commodity.

But...

Product protection fee!

Fang Heng thought carefully in his mind.

Typing:

"Don't worry about them rebel!"

"They will not rebel, nor will they dare to rebel. There are all kinds of rebels on the side, and the Ming army is hanging behind them. As long as they don't have any problems with their minds, they will not think about rebelling."

"After all, strength is not allowed!"

"But if they really dare to rebel, then they will take back all the people and lands with you!"

"The Ming Dynasty's army will always take the last move. Even if the city is broken, don't take action. To drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger. The vassal kings are cancers, and the rebellion of the king is not a good fight. The fight between the two will not be harmful to the Ming Dynasty, but it is not good for the people."

"But this is war!"

"No matter what choice the vassal kings make, the Ming army must end it in the end, defeat the anti-king army, and start collecting 'commercial tax' in the city!"

I saw the three words "business tax".

Zhu Youjian's pupils shrank slightly, which was unrealistic.

Nowadays, civil and military officials in the court have been opposing the collection of commercial taxes. At this time, it may cause great dissatisfaction among local governments.

Originally, I had already seen death and refused to save me.

He even went to grab money at this time, but he didn't dare to think about how many memorials would be submitted at that time.

Min Youjian:

"Business tax is probably difficult to implement."

“The resistance is too great!”

"And if you dare to collect taxes at that time, it may cause a great rebound among the local and vassal kings, and the situation in the entire Ming Dynasty will be even more chaotic!"

“Business taxes are not allowed!”

Can't be accepted?

Fang Heng couldn't help but sneer.

This is no longer the past. In the past, agricultural economy was the main focus, and agricultural tax accounted for the majority. There was not much difference between collecting or not commercial tax. However, with the development of handicrafts, the commercial economy has long surpassed agriculture, and there is too much oil and water here!

If there is resistance, that is certain.

after all......

No one would be willing to spit out the flesh from his mouth!

But this business tax must be collected.

Not accepted?

Where does the Ming Dynasty get money?!

If you don’t have money, what to talk about quelling civil strife, what to talk about appeaseing the people, let alone guarding the border?

Fang Heng:

"Business tax must be collected, but it needs to be changed."

"Protection fee!!!"

"The place has just been pacified, and bandits are in chaos everywhere. In order to protect the lives and property of the people and to protect the interests of vendors, the area is under military control. Any goods entering and leaving must be escorted by the army. There should be no problem, right?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned.

He thought about it carefully and it seemed to be feasible.

But what if the place doesn't want it?

Fang Heng seemed to have guessed Zhu Youjian’s idea and continued to type:

"They have no choice!"

"If you don't pay the protection fee, then you will be detained as smuggling!"

"After all, the military control of the place!"

"Without the approval of the government, all of them are treated as smuggling and detained. No money is allowed to be paid, no delivery or inflow is allowed. All goods must be in the government list, in triplicate, and detailed registration of where the goods come from and where they come from, one is for the local area, one is for the army, and the other is for the military supervisor!"

"Smuggling must be convicted of a felony!"

"Use heavy sanctions in troubled times!"

"The Ming Dynasty has been treating these businessmen with preferential treatment for a long time. It is also worth it to let them get some blood. After all, they have saved face and provided them with safe services."

"Alternative battles are used to support war!"

"Take the blood of these officials, gentry, landlords, and vassal kings to supply the court. After all, the fat pigs were raised and killed!"

When Fang Heng told him how to make money.

The group chat was instantly quiet.

They had never thought that they could still draw blood from the local area to replenish the imperial court. In the past, the imperial court had always transfusion blood to the local area.

Fang Heng opened their horizons!

And Zhu Youjian also understood everything at this time.

What is Fang Heng's method to save Ming? By suppressing the rebellion in a certain place, he first cut off the blood of the vassal kings and local governments to reduce military expenditures. After pacifying, he implemented forced military control and forced the court to profit by forcibly collecting "protection fees".

And this excuse.

It is the smuggling that officials are most likely to ignore!

Because most officials think of smuggling is coastal and border smuggling, as well as those who take risks in reselling goods, these imperial officials rarely participate, so this duo is easy to pass.

But Fang Heng gave another idea!

All transactions that have not been allowed by the official are designated as smuggling, and the government can investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law, and there are too many things to do!

And the oil and water are also particularly large!

This is not a business tax!

The court still did not impose commercial taxes, and everything was to protect the subjects. Even though the civil and military officials in the court understood it later, the overall situation was settled at that time, and they could only eat coptis chinensis in a mute manner, and they could not say what they had to suffer!

This soft knife is amazing!

Although this knife hurts, it is not fatal to the vassal kings and the local governments. What’s more important is that this move has other benefits!

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up.
