When Yuzhu came back, all the colleagues in the South Study Room, except for the bachelors who had to put on airs, including Zhang Tingyu, came to congratulate Yuzhu.
Yuzhu's face was full of fake smiles, and he was just saying some polite words to everyone, just to save face.
You all choose your own path, no one can blame you!
Yuzhu's goal is actually very simple. Chunchen, who is good at leading troops in war and making money...
The word "pure minister" is enough to explain everything. To put it bluntly, there is no need for Yuzhu to have a deep friendship with his colleagues.
The South Study Room was right under the old emperor's nose. All the so-called popular ministers were kicked out without exception.
To put it bluntly, the popularity in Nan Shufang is so good that not only does he not have high emotional intelligence, but he is a concrete manifestation of being a big idiot in the officialdom.
In the central government office, which is also the most centralized, you have very close personal relationships with your colleagues. Hey, what do you want to do?
Similar to Li Guangdi and Wu Jun, Chen Tingjing and Zhang Yushu, such an incompatible fighting relationship is the state that makes the old emperor most at ease.
Therefore, after Yuzhu entered the Nan Study Room, he had a perfunctory face-saving relationship with everyone.
After leaving the government office before he was officially appointed, Yuzhu would rather go back home and flirt with Xingrui than form a deep personal relationship with his colleagues in Nan Study.
Although the supervisors of Chongwen Sect before Yuzhu were all appointed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they did not hold the title of imperial envoy.
The emperor, the Ministry of Revenue and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could all intervene in the supervision of Chongwenmen at will, and the responsibilities and powers were extremely confusing.
Now, after Kangxi gave Yuzhu the title of imperial envoy, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could only stare at him.
Supervisor of Chongwenmen is a part-time errand, not an official. It has the same nature as Zhinan Study Room. It is a kind of errand and has no grade in itself.
Because, the errand of Zhinan study was not exempted.
Therefore, Yuzhu kept writing abbreviations at his desk with a serious attitude of standing on the last duty.
After lunch, Yuzhu said goodbye to Li Guangdi, who was on duty, and went to the Qianqing Palace to play chess with the old emperor.
"Old man, it's only been a month since I entered Nan Study Room. Isn't it too early?"
In private, Yuzhu seemed very casual. Just as he treated Tong Guowei at home, he treated Kangxi now.
However, Kangxi was quite curious about his behavior. Not only did he ignore him, but he often cooperated with him.
Wei Zhu, the eunuch, was completely dumbfounded on the sidelines.
"Well, I have always wanted to pull out the poisonous fangs of Cewang Alabutan, but I am suffering from the lack of money in the treasury." Kangxi sighed and said, "You promised me that if you came to be the supervisor of Chongwenmen, you could get at least three dollars back.
One hundred thousand pieces of silver."
Yuzhu almost laughed angrily, isn't this a rogue act?
He just made a detailed calculation for Kangxi. As long as he followed his methods, the annual tax money of 300,000 taels could be easily pocketed.
As a result, when it came to Kangxi's mouth, it became his promise.
The old emperor is playing rogue, who can Yuzhu talk to to reason with him? He can only bite the bullet and admit it.
"None of your previous supervisors were called imperial envoys." Kangxi leaned back with some pride and changed into a more comfortable sitting position.
Well, Yuzhu thought for a moment, and what Kangxi said did make sense.
There is a world of difference in treatment between those who have the word "Imperial Envoy" and those who don't!
The imperial envoy was appointed to supervise Chongwenmen. The status of the imperial envoy was the highest official level.
Even if it is the hereditary prince or the prince's elder brother in front of him, Yuzhu only has to bow his hands and salute.
To put it bluntly, Kangxi was really poor. The old emperor himself was not good at making money, and he also had a lot of talkative ministers who didn't know how to make money. He was forced to try to use Yuzhu, a young boy.
.
History is always the same.
This is of the same nature as Qianlong testing He Shen's true ability. Kangxi just wanted to see if he was a mule or a horse.
"Old man, I want the power of the entire customs. I will make the regulations, appoint the committee members, and order the officers. If you promise me, let alone three hundred thousand taels of silver, even if it is five hundred thousand taels, I can press it.
Turn it in every year.”
Yuzhu is not stupid. When the emperor is short of money, how can he not take the opportunity to bargain for power?
To be honest, if the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were not good at making money, why did Kangxi need to reuse jade pillars?
The so-called book has its own house of gold, but in fact it cannot turn gold into gold.
To put it bluntly, the Confucian ministers who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality were not even as good as the boastful Zhao Kuo. They would only persuade the emperor to live a hard life by living frugally and tightening their belts.
The problem is that the Junggar Khanate and the Rakshasa Kingdom are pressing forward step by step. If they don’t have money to fight, they will be in big trouble.
The Snowy Land is very close to the Junggar Khanate. If something happens and a big war breaks out, where will the money come from?
No matter who you are, as long as you become a householder, you will have to worry about the expenses of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea.
"Six hundred thousand taels, not one tael less." Kangxi half-quickly, half-seriously made his conclusion, and Yuzhu closed his mouth knowingly.
The emperor could not say it explicitly, but his attitude was very clear, and he acquiesced to Yuzhu to make money.
Six hundred thousand taels, I got it, one handsome person can cover up all the ugly ones, I will be promoted and make a fortune!
If he can't do it, the old emperor will settle the old accounts with new accounts and liquidate the jade pillars at the same time.
Oh yeah!
Yuzhu’s treacherous plan succeeded!
Chongwenmen supervises the yamen, not the infantry command yamen, let alone the Fengtai camp, it is just a small yamen that collects taxes.
As long as there were no sensitive matters involving military power, Yuzhu would naturally dare to discuss it with the old emperor.
On the way back from the palace, Yuzhu, who was swinging in the official sedan chair, couldn't help but smile.
Kangxi was very face-saving. He clearly knew the benefits of working as a servant and paying grain to the officials and gentry, but he did not dare to do it. This was because he was afraid of being infamy and affecting the benevolent monarch's demeanor.
If we dare not solve the tax problem from the root, we can only paper it over in a partial manner.
Everything was of low quality, except for the ninth elder brother who was a well-educated official and was good at doing business and making money. He was the son that the old emperor disliked the most.
The system of Confucianism, fundamentally speaking, hopes that the entire society will always be fixed and immobile, and naturally exclude lowly businessmen.
In fact, the root cause of the cyclical rate of the cycle of chaos lies in the fact that after the super-solidification of social classes, the upper and lower classes have completely lost their mobility.
The careerists at the bottom, seeing no hope of peacefully ascending to power, immediately rose up.
Li Chuang, Hong Xiuquan, and Sun Dapao are all like this!
Without farming, there will be no stability; without industry, there will be no strength; without business, there will be no wealth. These three cannot be neglected!
However, when they were approaching Jialanyan Hutong, Luo Xing'a, the deputy general of the patrol battalion, took the initiative to stop Yuzhu's official sedan.
"Second Master, there are many people standing in front of the main entrance of your house. They are all officials and wealthy businessmen under Chongwen's sect. Alas, it is not convenient for me to drive them away." Luo Xing'a rubbed his hands, feeling very embarrassed.
reported this rather troublesome news.
Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it. After the news spread that he was about to take office as the supervisor of Chongwenmen, those subordinates who had made enough money came to visit the dock in advance for fear of losing the cornucopia they had already obtained.
What Luo Xing'a was really worried about was that driving away the people who came to give money would make Yu Zhu unhappy.
The Chongwen Sect Supervisor is not only in charge of the taxation of one Chongwenmen, but the taxation of all the sects in the forty-nine cities are all under his jurisdiction.
According to the terms of reference, he is equivalent to the director of the tax bureau in the entire Forty-Nine Cities.
However, the tax chief does not have tax policemen with swords, but Yuzhu's men do.
In this cannibalistic society, for example, if you dare to evade taxes at the city gate, Yuzhu has the right to send troops to seize all your shops and properties outside the city, and even arrest your whole family and put them in jail.
Yuzhu's supervisor becomes even more arrogant after adding the word "imperial envoy".
Except for the emperor, no one can control him as an imperial envoy.
Is it a good idea to make money by following orders?
If you drive your subordinates away before taking office, do you still need a good reputation?
After Yuzhu thanked Luo Xing'a, he took the side door and returned to Long Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door and before he could sit down, Li Si'er sent someone to find him.
Well, Yuzhu simply went to see Li Si'er without even changing into his official uniform.
As soon as they met, Li Si'er asked him very proudly: "My dear son, have you been promoted again? The door was crowded with people. I climbed up the ladder and climbed up the wall to take a look. What a great guy, there was a huge crowd of people.
The whole alley is packed."
After Yuzhu Daqian saluted, he briefly told Li Si'er about his appointment as the supervisor of Chongwen Sect.
When Li Si'er heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "From now on, wouldn't it be that wealthy businessmen will all come to give me money?"
Yuzhu was about to talk to Li Si'er about this, so he smiled and said: "Well, from now on, I will just collect their money and give it to you. Think about it, so many people come to give you money."
, which should be collected and which should not be collected, it is very troublesome."
What kind of business is the most profitable today?
Naturally, it is a monopoly business!
With Yuzhu's current power, it would be easy for him to use the Lin family's white gloves to monopolize business in a certain industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that with just a move of Yuzhu's lips, it was done.
No matter how much money the wealthy businessmen have in their pockets, if Yuzhu does not allow their goods to enter Sijiu City, they will inevitably completely lose their big business that attracts millions of people.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu is a living ancestor who holds the right to legal harm.
No matter how powerful the big businessman is, when he comes in front of him, he has to kneel down and call grandpa.
"Okay. You have just taken office, so you should make less money. Once you are familiar with it, it will not be too late to make more money." As long as Li Si'er can collect money, who cares who gives it?
Making money? I definitely want to make money.
It's just that Yuzhu doesn't bother to accept bribes.
To put it bluntly, how much money can you make by accepting bribes?
Being a gentry and dealing with the big people in the middle hall is not only the result of plundering and corruption, but also the result of being good at business management.
Li Si'er is still very reasonable, and she has the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Longkodo brings back every year as a backing. She is mainly afraid that her son will not understand the business of making money and suffer the consequences of the unscrupulous officials.
Longkodo's rise relied on his talent as an inquisitor and his protective role in corruption and bribery.
Yuzhu also thought about this problem carefully. If he didn't make money, Kangxi would be worried about him.
