Simple, rough!&1t;/p>

This is how Zhu Youxiao deals with the method of Tianjin grain merchants raising grain prices. He would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Only by solving competitors with the simplest and fastest method can the situation be stabilized quickly.&1t;/p>

The search activity continues. Not only were the grain shops sealed, but the warehouses of those grain shops also sealed.&1t;/p>

Soon Cao Jinyu also rushed to Tianjin in person to help deal with the aftermath.&1t;/p>

The grain from those grain stores was quickly counted and handed over to the Jimin Grain Bank. The grain store of the Jimin Grain Bank opened soon and retailed the searched grain at a price of 1 tael per stone. At the same time, a notice was posted.&1t;/p>

"Tianjin grain merchants hoard goods and raise the price of grain, so that the price of grain has risen to four taels per stone. The emperor cared for the people and ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate the grain hoarded by the unscrupulous merchants to stabilize the price of grain. If they checked the grain, they would only sell one tael per stone, and each person would purchase half a bucket."&1t;/p>

After the notice was posted, the people applauded and quickly surrounded the grain shop of Jimin Grain Store three layers inside and three layers outside.&1t;/p>

In order to avoid those powerful people eating low-priced grain, each person can only buy half a dou of rice on site. Of course, the people can come and buy it after taking the rice home. If there are powerful people and merchants want to eat a lot of low-priced grain, it will be more troublesome to operate. Although it cannot be completely avoided, the people can still buy low-priced grain.&1t;/p>

After a search, Jimin Grain Bank obtained nearly 150,000 stones of grain and drove all its competitors out of the Tianjin market. After all, the 150,000 stones of grain were found, so it would be unpleasant to sell it at a low price.&1t;/p>

Tianjin grain merchants naturally suffered heavy losses. Is this the emperor or the robber?&1t;/p>

Ordinary people naturally applauded and were happy, but these grain merchants and powerful people gritted their teeth and cursed the emperor millions of times.&1t;/p>

Those civil servants also wrote hard and criticized the emperor's robbery behavior. Just like they criticized Emperor Wanli's mining tax, memorials danced like snowflakes.&1t;/p>

The tax bureau opened by the emperor is their core criticism.&1t;/p>

The emperor bypassed them, which meant that civil servants could not intercept them. Some very "integrity" Donglin Party members, like taking aphrodisiacs, strongly opposed the emperor bypassing the civil servant group to collect taxes. The Donglin Party is indeed not greedy, but most of the taxes under their rule are "loose". This kind of floating meaning is not taxed. Not leniency means that interests are transferred to, to whom? It is naturally sent to relatives who are doing business or to the relatives of other officials.&1t;/p>

Can relatives make money, but can they lose them?&1t;/p>

In the late Ming Dynasty, this division of labor was extremely clear. If a merchant family had two sons, one might be used to inherit the family business and the other would be used to obtain fame and fortune. The two brothers worked closely together to revitalize the family.&1t;/p>

Generally speaking, family forces are the most common in the prosperous areas of Jiangnan. In Fujian and Guangdong, this kind of area with a history of not too long is the mainstream of clan forces. The clan development must first be in a relatively closed environment.&1t;/p>

Most families need wealth and honor to support the formation. Once they fail, or a respected elder passes away, they may be separated.&1t;/p>

Many officials of the Donglin Party come from wealthy merchant families, so they naturally look down on the small amount of money in the officialdom, so they don’t have to embezzle them, they just need to transfer interests.&1t;/p>

In the Ming Dynasty's laws, this kind of floating behavior is obviously a loophole and there is no need to be sanctioned.&1t;/p>

Therefore, once the emperor bypassed the civil servant group and sent someone to collect taxes, he would immediately poke a hornet's nest, and a group of officials would pick up their pens and criticize them.&1t;/p>

During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty's economy reached an unprecedented grand occasion. It was not impossible to say it was a prosperous era, but under the writings of these civil officials, it became a miserable life for the people.&1t;/p>

However, these civil servants are limited to moving their pens. Ordinary people basically do not get involved with these civil servants.&1t;/p>

When becoming an emperor in the late Ming Dynasty, you must have a thick face.&1t;/p>

When Zhu Youxiao faced the memorials that were falling like snowflakes, he suddenly became interested. He took out a few books from the Yangxin Palace to appreciate the writing styles of these officials who learned eight-legged essays.&1t;/p>

"Cut down, write down all the names." Zhu Youxiao said happily to Qian Guoxing, the eunuch who served the Silijian, who was serving.&1t;/p>

Qian Guoxing was also one of the eunuchs promoted by Zhu Youxiao from Nei Shutang. He and Li Chaoqing served as eunuchs on the pen and eunuchs on the seal respectively.&1t;/p>

The names of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty are very pleasing. Don’t think it’s useless, such as Jinzhong, Chaoqing, and Guoxing. If a list is placed in front of the emperor, the emperor may just like the name and promote it. Therefore, the eunuchs in Neishutang often change their favorite names.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor." Qian Guoxing immediately began to classify and register. All the officials who opposed taxation were recorded.&1t;/p>

Officials who make such memorials at the meeting mean that they are part of the vested interests or lackeys serving the vested interests, and can be slowly liquidated in the future.&1t;/p>

Now Zhu Youxiao feels that eunuchs are more and more useful, because eunuchs have no human rights, so they can kill them as soon as they say they are killed. Civil officials are different. Even if these eunuchs embezzle and accept bribes, they can recover their losses if they are searched. So Zhu Youxiao sent eunuchs to the Taxation Bureau and sent more eunuchs to supervise. Dongchang and Jinyiwei supervise each other, and also supervise these eunuchs appointed to the Taxation Bureau.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the eunuchs and the emperor belong to the same interest group. Even if half of the taxes were embezzled, at least half of them could be collected. If it were replaced by officials, Zhejiang's tea tax even occurred in 15 taels during the Chongzhen period. During the Tianqi period, Zhejiang could pay 200,000 to 300,000 taels of tea tax every year.&1t;/p>

If you say that officials are corruption, they are not greedy, they are just wandering away and there is no collection.&1t;/p>

With the infiltration of politics by capitalists, these officials were allowed to preside over the tax, and even half of the tax could not be collected, and the tax system was basically paralyzed.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Beijing Camp had already completed preliminary training, and Zhu Youxiao could already consider taking the route of armed tax collection, so as to set up checkpoints everywhere to curb the spread of the commodity economy.&1t;/p>

What are the dangers of the flood of commodity economy?&1t;/p>

Looking at the history of the late Qing Dynasty, we can see that a large number of foreign commodities had a severe impact on the rural natural economy, making the rural areas increasingly poor. China was an agricultural country at this time, with most of its population distributed in the rural areas. Although there was no Western industrialized commodities that impacted China in the Ming Dynasty, the commodity economic activities of urban merchants would also have an impact on the rural areas. Although it was not so fierce, it was continuous. This made the capital concentrate in cities and rural areas still become poorer and poorer.&1t;/p>

People's lives are unstable, and naturally they will become potential turbulent factors. However, when a country has huge turbulence, these potential turbulent factors will be ignited, and often the time when a dynasty perishes.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao is now going to develop an efficient system for making money.&1t;/p>

A monopoly system has been initially established between the Taxation Bureau, Jingying, Salt Industry, Commercial Grain, and Royal People's Joint Ventures in Beijing.&1t;/p>

This system needs to be further improved, but it has begun to expand to surrounding towns.&1t;/p>

Faced with a large number of memorials against taxation, Zhu Youxiao was unmoved and began to improve the tax types of the Tax Bureau. The tax collection principle of the Tax Bureau is very simple. Just like the Wanli period, it is not to affect the lives of ordinary people. The system built by Zhu Youxiao is actually competing for interests with merchants and powerful people.&1t;/p>

On this day, Zhu Youxiao left the palace in a concealed manner again and began to look for targets that could be taxed. High-end restaurants, hotels, pawnshops, money shops, antique shops, and other shops can be levied on business taxes. Tea, wine, tobacco, fur, silk and so on can be levied on commodity taxes. After the taxation, they like to raise prices, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care. Anyway, it transfers the cost to the higher income groups, and ordinary people will not be affected.ps: Second update!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
