Chapter 412 Establishment of the Ministry of Education!
"Yes! Tax-free policy! Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Ni Yuanlu asked.
"Don't worry, this tax-free policy will be of greater benefit to the people of the Ming Dynasty. It is even more cost-effective than directly paying for disaster relief."
"Think about it, every time a disaster occurs in our Ming Dynasty, we need food relief, and the price of food will increase accordingly."
"Therefore, if those people can purchase a certain amount of food from overseas, I can exempt them from a certain amount of tax. You need to work out the specific amount of food exemption."
"My request is that in the overall calculation, they will gain a slight advantage, but the part that our court loses must be taken by the common people."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
When they first heard Lin Fan's proposal, Ni Yuanlu and others were puzzled. However, based on their careful taste, His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal had endless advantages and could be said to be a work of art!
"I seem to understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means. Although they bring back food from abroad, we will charge them less tax. They seem to be making a profit. However, since there is more food in the country, it will naturally be cheaper to sell it.
"
"When food becomes cheaper, people can buy cheap food, and they will gradually have extra money in their hands. When people become rich, we will naturally collect more taxes!"
"Moreover, if the people have money to eat and live a prosperous life, the imperial court will become richer and stronger!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"That's right! That's the truth. If His Royal Highness hadn't requested it today, we would never have thought of this!"
"This can be regarded as helping the world and saving the people, but it does not directly give money to the people, but also allows the people to gain something from their work. His Highness the Crown Prince's wisdom is beyond our imagination!"
…
All officials from the Ministry of Revenue praised Lin Fan's proposal.
Lin Fandao: "Since you all agree to increase customs taxes and the corresponding rules, then I will talk about other taxes next."
"Your Highness, in addition to customs taxes, our Ming Dynasty's existing taxes will encounter some difficulties when collecting them, but our Ministry of Revenue can overcome them!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Very good! Since you can overcome it, I won't say more. In short, if someone refuses to pay taxes for various reasons, they will be dealt with strictly according to the law!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely handle this matter!"
All the officials from the Ministry of Revenue said.
Lin Fan looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. Through this meeting, all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue understood their hard work, which was a good thing.
"You don't have to be so disappointed about the fifty million taels of silver. Although it was all given to the Ministry of Industry, it was not given to them all at once, but in batches."
"Actually, a large amount of money still has to be kept in the household department. If you need to misappropriate some for emergencies, you can just return it when the time comes."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep an eye on these 50 million taels of silver, and there will never be any mistakes!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan patted Ni Yuanlu on the shoulder and asked him to take the people back. At this time, the Ministry of Revenue stored a large amount of money, and many things needed them to go back and deal with it.
In the evening, Lin Fan came to Baihusi Yamen.
At this time, Zhao Kun, Liu Wenle and others were eating, and the Jin Yiwei from Baihu Si Yamen prepared pork stewed vermicelli for them.
They were used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so they were a little reluctant to the pork stewed vermicelli at first, but when they smelled the aroma of pork stewed vermicelli, they were instantly intoxicated.
Zhao Kun only took one bite and started to devour it, and Liu Wenle did the same. For a moment, everyone present ate with no image at all.
“Delicious! It’s so delicious!”
"What's the name of this dish?
Pork stewed vermicelli, I thought it was just an ordinary stew, but I didn’t expect it tasted so delicious, I want to eat a few more bowls!”
"Haha! Your Highness the Crown Prince is so generous. He has prepared so much, enough for us to enjoy!"
More than a hundred people were eating and praising it.
The Jin Yiwei of Baihu Si Yamen couldn't bear to look directly at them. Are these people really officials from Nanjing?
Why do you look like a starving ghost?
"Are you guys still used to eating at Baihusi Yamen?"
Lin Fan walked over and said in a deep voice.
When they saw Lin Fan arriving, they hurriedly stood up and saluted Lin Fan. Lin Fan waved his hands with a smile and said, "Sit down, everyone. You can continue to eat. You don't need to be detained."
Zhao Kun said: "Your Highness, I have been hungry all day. After eating such delicious food, I naturally have to eat more."
Liu Wenle also said: "His Royal Highness, I heard that you invented this pork stewed vermicelli. You are really the most talented person in the world. I admire you!"
Lin Fan looked at them with a smile. After these people lost 50 million taels of silver, they didn't want to continue making money in Nanjing and actually went to Beijing.
It can be seen that these people are all human beings. They know that if they continue to stay in Nanjing without money, they may be killed, so they come to Beijing to seek asylum.
Since these people want to seek your own asylum, you cannot let them benefit in vain, you must make good use of them.
"I know that you are here to find a job, and I have something suitable for you to do here. Are you interested?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
Hearing that there was something to do, these people all looked at Lin Fan with wide eyes. Liu Wenle was the first to speak: "Your Highness, Wei Chen was previously the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. As long as you are willing to reuse Wei Chen, let me be the Chief Secretary.
sure!"
"Haha! The chief secretary is too talented. I want to establish a Ministry of Education. I wonder if you are interested in serving in the Ministry of Education."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Ministry of Education...
The six ministries include the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. His Royal Highness has now added a new department, which is the Ministry of Education.
Although I don't know the responsibilities of the Ministry of Education, His Royal Highness wants them all to join, which shows how much he attaches importance to the Ministry of Education.
"Your Highness, what does the Ministry of Education do?"
Liu Wenle asked.
"The Ministry of Education, which is the simplified version promoted by this prince, is going to set up schools, and the Ministry of Education is in charge of these schools."
"However, the power of the Ministry of Education goes far beyond that. I also want to establish a college, and there are many kinds of colleges. Only literati can enter and study in them."
"At that time, this college will also be managed by the Ministry of Education. However, it is just management, but it does not mean that you can manipulate it at will."
Lin Fan said.
Zhao Kun was a little disappointed at this time. He thought he could be appointed as a general or something, but would he also work in the Ministry of Education with Liu Wenle?
