Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 430 The real business tax revenue, Zheng Zhilong transported grain to Beijing

Ma Shiying completely ignored the weird eyes of Huang Daozhou and others, and continued: "Fourth, His Majesty ordered the establishment of a glass factory and a glass mirror factory. Merchants from all over the world are famous here, and glass and mirrors are luxury goods. It is a major reason for the increase in tariffs by Ying Tianfu."

After hearing the four points summarized by Ma Shiying, Auntie Zhu was happy in her heart—who doesn't like to hear good things.

However, she still commented: "The first three points can be summed up, but the last point is reluctant. It's just glass and mirrors, how much tariffs can be added."

Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty, the production of glass and mirrors is small, and the market is in short supply, so the business tax contribution is really not too much.

However, if we can expand production and try our best to meet the market demand, it is possible to increase the commercial tax contribution by ten times within one year. "

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "Isn't that what those glass and mirror merchants taught Ma Qing?"

Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty sees clearly, there is absolutely no such thing. I just came up with this proposal because I want to increase Yingtian Mansion's financial revenue as soon as possible."

Although it was cold in September, Ma Shiying was sweating on his forehead at this time.

This matter was mentioned to him by an aide, but he actually guessed that most of the aides were entrusted by some big businessmen who distribute glass and mirrors.

But he really didn't accept bribes from businessmen.

Just as some people think, he is taking his guilt and joining the cabinet now, and he only wants to do well what Aimi Zhu told him to do.Under such circumstances, he was afraid that the corruption of the officials of the Ministry of Finance would implicate him, so how dare he take the lead in breaking the atmosphere?
Aunt Zhu said: "Glass factories and mirror factories have their own plans to expand production, and they can't follow the needs of businessmen, so there is no need to mention this discussion.

In addition, the increase in fiscal revenue of the prefectures and counties promoted by the New Deal also needs to be weighed in many ways, and it cannot be all aligned with the matter of increasing fiscal revenue.Remember? "

Ma Shiying was relieved to hear that Auntie Zhu didn't pursue his matter, and replied: "Your servant, please remember."

I thought in my heart, I will drive out that staff member when I go back.

Huang Daozhou, Xie Xuelong, Yuan Jixian and other courtiers who held conservative views on the New Deal said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

However, most of these people can see that what Zhu Yuxi said just now seems to be beating Ma Shiying and other officials who are trying to implement the New Deal, but they are actually defending and raising points to prevent them from making serious mistakes in the future and affecting the implementation of the New Deal.

Looking at the new policies of various dynasties in history, aren’t there some officials who were eager to make contributions, were too radical in implementing the new policies, and made all kinds of bad things in order to improve the effects of the new policies, which caused the new policies to harm the people, and were criticized?

Afterwards, Ma Shiying continued to report.

"Compared with tariffs, Yingtianfu Municipal Tax has increased more significantly in the past three months, and its amount is much higher than tariffs.

Before the implementation of the new policy, Ying Tianfu's total municipal taxes in April and May were more than 4000 taels and 2000 taels respectively.

However, in June, the comprehensive tax of Yingtianfu City increased sharply to 5000 taels, in July it was 12 taels, and in August it increased to 13 taels!

From this, it can be confirmed that after Ying Tianfu implements the new policy, the annual city tax will definitely exceed one million taels! "

hiss~!

Hearing this, some cabinet ministers and ministers who were informed of this data for the first time could not help but take a breath.

Only Yi Yingchang, the left servant of the Ministry of Finance, like Ma Shiying, blushed again with excitement.

The annual city tax revenue of a government is over one million taels, who wouldn't be excited to know?
Although this data is a special case, there are almost no Yingtianfu in the whole Ming Dynasty who have such conditions, but it is enough to make the Ministry of Finance responsible for commercial taxation feel honored.

Although it was the second time for Aimee Zhu to hear these data, she was equally excited.

In her mind, even if Yingtianfu's commercial tax revenue is a special case, if the new policy can be extended to the entire Daming, the commercial tax revenue alone can exceed [-] million taels. It's not a problem to be in the prosperous age.

However, Hao Guangming on the other side hesitated at this time and said: "The increase in the business tax of Yingtian Mansion is indeed a bit drastic. I'm afraid it's not only related to the new policy, but also has something to do with the high price of food and silver at this time, right?"

Aimee Zhu was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but then her excitement quickly dissipated.

Thinking about it carefully, the city tax was not low in the first place, and it increased too sharply after the implementation of the New Deal. The implementation of the New Deal must be the main reason, but most of it has something to do with the high price of food and silver.

Because at this time, commercial taxes were mostly collected according to the value of the goods, and silver was the standard for measuring the value of living things.

Although the price of food in Yingtianfu has dropped to 2.8 taels per stone under the government's control, the price is still more than double that of normal years.

The prices of other materials have also risen following the price of food. Although they will not rise by two or three times, they may double or double.

Therefore, the actual value of the silver taels collected by Ying Tianfu through the commercial tax office must be discounted in half, that is, the actual value of the total city tax for a year is about the same as the 70 million taels of silver in a normal year.

In addition, if the city tax and customs duties are to be withheld at the local level, they should be withheld at a half rate. Then the normal yearly business tax that the imperial court earns in Yingtianfu for one year should be halved again, that is, more than 30 taels.

After Ying Tianfu implemented the new policy, the commercial tax should be the highest in the entire Ming Dynasty at this time, and the total income tax amount is only about 30 taels of silver in normal years. Obviously, there is no such thing as Ma Shiying said, "the city tax exceeds one million a year." "Two silver" is so exciting and surprising.

So, when all the ministers were shocked and surprised, Zhu Wei smiled and said in a calm tone: "Ying Tianfu's annual city tax can exceed one million taels, which is indeed a result of the New Deal, but you don't have to be too happy .

It should be noted that nowadays food is expensive and silver is cheap, and prices have risen, so the actual value of silver must be discounted in half.Except for the part that needs to be intercepted, what our center can get is only more than 30 taels.

And Yingtian is now the capital of our Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of conditions are extremely favorable, and it is only natural that we receive these under the New Deal.

You should not be proud and slack because of the small achievements, but also try your best to further implement the New Deal and expand the achievements of the New Deal. "

All the ministers were astonished when they heard this, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help complaining in their stomachs.

'Is it a matter of course that the city tax of a prefecture exceeds one million? '

'I want the first emperor to know this, I'm afraid he will cry and faint in the Hall of Martial Arts, right? '

'Your Majesty has really high expectations for the New Deal, and is really strict with us. '

'Could it be possible that Ying Tianfu's annual commercial tax revenue should be several million taels to be satisfied? '

'···'

Auntie Zhu naturally didn't know that what she said caused all the ministers to complain in their hearts.

She continued, "Anyway, the fact that Yingtian Mansion was able to collect a total of nearly 43 taels of commercial tax in six, seven, eighty-three months is indeed the result of the New Deal.

Therefore, in the next step, we will infer the new policy to the whole of Nanzhili as planned, and test its implementation effect in Nanzhili in one year.

You should also make persistent efforts to make the New Deal achieve the same good results in Nanzhili, and then spread it to other provinces. Only in this way can the revenue of the treasury be greatly increased. "

All the ministers in the Hall of Martial Arts, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all responded in unison: "I will follow the holy will!"

Afterwards, the ministers discussed other financial issues, such as the commercial tax revenue of the entire Nanzhi in the past three months, and the Xia tax tax bank released from other provinces to Nanjing one after another, and so on.

The meeting lasted until eleven o'clock in the morning, and it wasn't over yet, but it was considered over.

Just as the cabinet ministers and ministers were about to leave the Hall of Martial Arts, they saw Liu Shuying hurriedly coming from the apse, bowed to Aimee Zhu, and said with joy on her face, "Your Majesty, Nan'an Bo Zheng Zhilong has arrived in Nanjing with the grain fleet!"

Aunt Zhu was delighted when she heard the news, and immediately asked, "Do you know how many stones of grain he brought in this time?"

　Something is delayed today, and the update is late.

　　Sorry.
