I want to be a grandson

Chapter 335 Returning to the East Palace (asking for a monthly ticket)
Zhu Yunxi did not plan to make any changes to the government orders that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made.

Although he is established as the grandson of the emperor, he basically has no wings, especially in the local area, and he lacks his own people.

To be an emperor is not only to have your own people in the court, but also to have your own supporters in the local area, so that the world can sit safely!

Otherwise, the government will not even be able to get out of the capital, so how can we talk about governing the world?

So now is not the time for drastic reforms, only refinement and refinement.

Zhu Yunxi went on to say: "The land tax of the imperial court is not high, and they are exempted from a certain amount. If they are not satisfied, it will be too greedy!"

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "At the beginning, the Taizu set the tax for officials and people in the world. The tax per mu of official land was five liters, three liters and five teaspoons, and civilian land was reduced by two liters. .”

"No official land" refers to the official land that was confiscated due to criminal seizures and other reasons.

Land tax was one bucket per mu in the Song Dynasty, three liters in the Yuan Dynasty, and two liters more in the Ming Dynasty than in the Yuan Dynasty.

From the perspective of taxation, the early Ming Dynasty was really light and light, and it was a rest.

"There is also the taxation of the imperial court. Let's not talk about the salt tax today. We only talk about the city tax and customs duties. Qitai, let's talk about it."

"Subordinates obey!"

Qi Tai stood up and said, "Daming's commercial taxes are generally divided into two types, namely city tax and customs duty."

"The imperial court stipulates that there is no tax on military and civilian marriages, funeral offerings, boat carts, silk cloth, etc.; for boat carts carrying their own goods, agricultural implements, vegetables carried by ordinary people, bamboo, wood and cattail utensils commonly used by the people, and common sundries , copper and tin utensils, etc., are also exempted."

Tariff, also known as "pass tax", refers to the collection of pass tax by setting up checkpoints on major traffic routes for merchants.

Qi Tai also said: "Basically, the city tax is collected according to the principles of one-for-thirty and "no tax for anything that is not sold in the market". The commercial tax is one-for-thirty."

"However, it is more difficult to collect city tax. People trade money or barter, and it is impossible to accurately check the amount. Therefore, there are many tax evaders among the people, and it is very convenient to collect."

For commercial taxation, the first is the tax on transported goods and tax on warehouse storage.

Industrial tax is the mining industry, shipbuilding industry, military industry, weaving, kiln metallurgy, firing, papermaking and other handicraft industries.When the goods of merchants from all over the country are stored in "collapsed houses".

Collect one-thirtieth of the tax money, one-thirtieth of the intermediary fee, and one-thirtieth of the storage fee.That is one tenth.

But this is for big businessmen, and ordinary small households do not have such a large scale.

Zhu Yunxie said: "Since the city tax is not easy to collect, it should not be collected according to the amount of income!"

"Each store collects fixed commercial tax according to the size of the store and the different types of products it operates. Every time you open a store, you will be charged a store tax. It is clear!"

Not to mention in ancient times, it is difficult to count the turnover of some stores in modern society.

All kinds of tax evasion and tax evasion emerge in endlessly, and they become bad debts at all, and there is no way to collect them even if they want to.

Yu Xin tentatively asked: "Your Highness, the shops in the past did not accept..."

Fu Youwen retorted: "In the past, it was not collected because it was not sold in the city. Now there are many merchants in various places, and the shops are becoming more and more prosperous. It is time to collect their commercial tax."

We must know that the current business tax does not include shops, but it was not until the first year of Ming Renzong Hongxi implemented the banknote law, and the business market developed from door stalls to shops, that tax was imposed on shop stalls.

Yu Xin nodded. Times have changed, and the object of tax collection by the Ministry of Household Affairs has to change accordingly.

But he asked again: "Your Highness, are all shops and stalls required to collect taxes?"

"Not bad!"

Zhu Yunxi replied affirmatively: "Regardless of government and private interests, all taxes must be paid!"

Beginning in the first month of the first year of Hongxi Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, in order to implement the banknote law, taxes were levied on all vegetable orchards in the two capitals, regardless of official or private ones, which were mainly sold.

Since Zhu Laosi's son can be government-owned or privately owned and collect taxes, why can't he?

In the fourth year of Emperor Xuanzong's Xuande reign, the store tax distribution was implemented in 33 prefectures and counties, and the tax collection was also increased by five times.

The business tax of the Ming Dynasty was a big loophole. Even at its peak, it was only 50 million taels. The reason was that there were tax evaders!
"The Ministry of Households must keep its eyes wide open, and will never allow anyone to evade taxes! Tell the clean officials of the provinces where the tax cannot be collected, or if there is random collection, the king will let people take off his official uniform and cut off the tax. His head!"

"Yes! The minister will obey!"

Zhu Yunxi continued: "In addition, there are customs duties that need to be dealt with. If they are not clear, then they will give people the opportunity to take advantage of them and break the law!"

Looking at the crowd, he ordered: "There are checkpoints on land, which can collect taxes, and waterways can also be used for business, but now there are no checkpoints. This is really unreasonable. I intend to set up cash checkpoints on the Yangtze River waterway and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

Before they could react, Zhu Yunxi went on to say: "Set up Linqing Chaoguan, Jining Chaoguan, Xuzhou Chaoguan, Huaian Chaoguan, Yangzhou Chaoguan, and Shangxinhe Chaoguan."

"The Yangtze River waterway has set up Jinsha Prefecture in Huguang, Wuchang, Jiujiang in Jiangxi, and Sichao Pass in Suzhou and Hangzhou."

The establishment of Chaoguan on the waterway began with Zhu Mingmen's father, Emperor Xuande.

During the reign of Xuande, checkpoints were set up on the waterways to collect ship material fees, and the tax amount was set according to the size, length and width of the ship.

After the Wanli period of Shenzong, in order to increase income, the number of checkpoints increased.

Jingtai, Jiajing, and Chongzhen all set up cash gates to collect taxes from passing ships.

People in the household department are very familiar with taxation, and there is no need to explain it at all.

Yu Xin asked in a daze: "Your Highness, the money collected by the money officials set up...should go to the Ministry of Households, right?"

Zhu Yunxie glared at him and said: "Your household department used to only collect taxes on land, why did you ever think about waterways? Now that the king has proposed it, you are jealous again! What is the reason for this!"

Yu Xin hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the reason why the collection was not made before is because the imperial court has not yet set up a waterway gate. Now that it is going to be set up, it must belong to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Why, your household department wants to pick peaches!"

Everyone looked at His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager stupidly...

Your household...

Your Highness, do you need to be so clear?

Yu Xin had no choice but to look at Qi Tai for help,
Qi Tai had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, no matter where it is collected, it is an action of the imperial court, and the money collected should also be returned to the national treasury."

Zhu Yunxi retorted: "If I hadn't brought it up today, where would you go to collect taxes? Since there is no tax, don't think too much about it!"

Qi Tai saluted and said: "Your Highness, even if you don't collect it for a few years, you will collect it in the future...

"Then let's talk about it later!"

Whether to return it to the national treasury or to the internal treasury is indeed a question worth breaking.

However, since they are against it, let's procrastinate!
Yu Xin did not dare to procrastinate, "Your Highness, since the expropriation is going to start, there must be a regulation. This is unclear, and the officials below are also in a dilemma. In the opinion of humble ministers, it is better to supplement the national treasury..."

If you delay for a long time, this problem will not be solved!

At that time, it will definitely be included in His Royal Highness' pocket!
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Tie Xuan, and Tie Xuan also looked embarrassed, so he lowered his head and pretended not to see it.

Bao Zhao also lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.

Seeing this, Qu Tao hurriedly made a rescue and said, "Since it was proposed by His Highness, it should belong to His Highness. Why are you fighting so much?"

Yu Xin retorted: "This is not a matter of scrambling! It should have been included in the national treasury, and should not become His Highness's private property..."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and said unreasonably: "I don't care, the Waterway Chaoguan should belong to the East Palace!"

What kind of income needs to go to the national treasury and what kind of income goes to the internal treasury? Even Zhu Yuanzhang is arguing with the courtiers, let alone himself.

This is not to say that the courtiers have any selfishness, but a legitimate dispute.

And the courtiers also had to fight, because the emperor would always find ways to increase his income and fill his small treasury so that he could do things as he wanted.

However, the imperial court also has various expenditures and various budgets, and the emperor cannot be allowed to mess around.

And if there is no dispute, if the emperor succeeded this time, it will be difficult to do it next time!
So a few people started a heated debate, it was really heated up, and saliva was flying everywhere!
The last few people had no choice but to take a compromise.

Qi Tai said weakly: "His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Revenue and the Eastern Palace will each account for [-]% of all taxes collected by the waterway. This is the biggest concession I have made..."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips, and said with disgust: "It's only [-]%, and your household department has to fight like this for such a small amount of money.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are important ministers in the court, how can you be like the shrews in the market, arguing endlessly for a little profit..."

"Don't be stained with the smell of copper all over your body..."

Saying a word is like a dead fly in their mouth in an instant!

Yu Xin, Fu Youwen, Qi Tai, Tie Xuan and others have black lines all over their faces...

I was speechless...

Are we still being rejected?
Your Highness, this has nothing to do with the smell of copper, does it?
Besides, this is what you are fighting with us!

It should have been assigned to the household department, okay?

You are talking about three points unreasonably!
Well, you are the master, let's just shut up.

There is no problem in arguing over this official matter, but now that the official matter has been discussed, even if His Highness scolds them, they dare not speak back!
"All banknote customs must be managed by the Ministry of Accounts, and every account must be clearly remembered. Except for ordinary people's ordinary past, no matter who they are, they must collect taxes!"

"Even the relatives of the emperor and the vassals from all over the country are paying taxes! They can't control it alone in their respective fiefs, but when they leave the fiefs, they have to pay the money they should pay! Let alone others!"

"There must be no corruption. If I find out, hehe! The remaining [-]% of the household must also go to the East Palace! It will be your compensation!"

Everyone can only shake their heads and smile wryly,
Who can do anything to meet such a domineering Highness?
