I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 130

Chapter 129

With the establishment of the Liaodong Management Committee, Cheng Shijie did not hold any position in the management committee.However, he has the power to appoint members of the management committee and vice-chairmen.

The current business model in southern Liaoning is probably the coexistence of a planned economy and a market economy. In a short period of time, business in southern Liaoning will not be taxed.

But now it is different. In Zhenhai City, which is just a pilot project, there are 140 three privately operated restaurants and wine shops, and 52 inns and hotels of various sizes and grades have been established at the same time.

As Chen Zilong and other agricultural experts arrived in southern Liaoning, they actually did not completely trust Cheng Shijie. In fact, most of the first batch of agricultural experts who arrived in southern Liaoning were not experts, but assistants or apprentices of various experts. The disciples who broke into the house, scouted the way for their teacher.

But when they arrived in Zhenhai City, they found that Cheng Shijie not only provided more than [-] million mu of land, but also had good dry fields, good paddy fields, hills, pastures, and even a large number of virgin forests. .And transferred [-] military households in Tuntian to accept their command.

What do you want to plant, how to take care of it, and how to operate it, you don’t need these experts to do it, and the military households in the village will do it impressively.

They enjoy the treatment that they cannot enjoy in the south of the Yangtze River. They have a car when they go out, and a group of disciples are waiting for them when they go in. You must know that although since ancient times, all dynasties have said that agriculture is the foundation, but in fact, farmers are just the servants of the courts of all dynasties. Urinals, when in use, hold the peasants to their mouths, and when not in use, they are troublemakers.

Although there are hundreds of families in the farming family, the talents of the farming family have long since withered. With the establishment of Zhenhai City, these agricultural experts, with their servants, relatives and friends, flocked to southern Liaoning.

Their arrival has greatly prospered Zhenhai City's economy, because although these people are not big names in Jiangnan where rich people are everywhere, but in southern Liaoning, they are super rich and have super purchasing power.

In addition to the two characteristic brothels in Ninghai's official camp, because Fang Yizhi is in southern Liaoning, and Chen Zhenhui, a member of Fushe, also came to hide in one because of conflicts with his wife Tang.So, as Chen Zhenhui's confidante, Li Zhenli also followed Chen Zhenhui to Zhenhai City.

Li Zhenli came, and Li Xiangjun, who was nine years old, and Li Xiangjun, who became one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai in just a few years, also came to Zhenhai City.

It is these noble sons from the south of the Yangtze River who come here one after another, some are for study tours, some are admiring the fame of the four masters of Fushe, and some are because of Li Zhenli's brilliant name. No matter what the reason is, it is hard to find a room in Zhenhai City. .

Li Zhenli saw that Zhenhai City is not like other places in the south of the Yangtze River. If you want to open a brothel, you must have people who are both black and white. But the problem is that Zhenhai City is different. There are no hooligans here, not even beggars, and you can do any kind of business. , It is enough to take the initiative to pay taxes to the Ningjun Military Affairs Administration.

Li Zhenli figured out these problems, and immediately started to clean up the girls under her from Jiangnan, and hurried to Liaonan.

Although she made a lot of money in Jiangnan, the problem is that [-]% of the money she earns goes to Nanjing Wei Guogong's mansion, [-]% goes to Nanjing Jinyiwei, and [-]% needs to support the turtles, helpers, handymen and girls under her hands. The money in hand is only [-]%.

By the time the Liaodong Management Committee was established, Zhenhai City already had eleven brothels, large and small, and only three brothels voluntarily paid taxes...

After the establishment of the Liaodong General Administration of Taxation, the first thing Cheng Shijie did was to formulate personal income tax, which was also the first tax in Liaodong.

In fact, the current income gap in Liaodong is already very huge. Not counting Yang Yunniang, who has the highest income, it is like Zhou Yandong, who has the second highest income. His legal income alone is more than 18 taels of silver, while the lowest income in textile The annual salary of female workers is only seven taels of silver, and the difference is five hundred times.Even compared to ordinary Ning navy soldiers, welfare plus military pay, of course, cannot be counted as a military reward for beheading, and it is only [-] taels of silver, which is two hundred times.

This is mainly because at the beginning of the establishment of Ning Haijun, a part-time job is an income. Although the salary of each job is not outrageous, but a big housekeeper like Zhou Yandong manages too many affairs at the same time. When added up, his income That's pretty amazing.

Cheng Shijie stipulated that the threshold for personal income tax in Liaodong is 36 taels of silver. In this way, there are not many individuals who need to pay taxes in Liaodong.All soldiers in the Ning Navy do not need to pay taxes. Only officers above the hundred general level need to pay taxes, and only factory managers above the foreman need to pay personal income tax. If they are hawkers, they basically do not need to pay taxes and can earn 36 taels The above-mentioned shops of silver also have a certain scale.

However, commercial tax and personal income tax are different.In any case, Zhou Yandong, the big housekeeper, needs to pay taxes, and the top 50.00% five, 600 taels of silver a year, he needs to hand over 80 taels of silver.

Although this personal income tax seems to be a lot, in fact it is not much. The Liaodong Management Committee needs to spend a lot of money. This is also the main means of adjusting the gap between the rich and the poor.

Of course, Zhou Yandong is not actually the person who pays the most taxes. The person who pays the most taxes is actually Cheng Shijie, whose tax payment is in the millions, followed by Yang Yunniang, whose tax payment is more than 6000 taels of silver.The third most is Jin Qiaoer, and the fourth is Zhou Yandong.

Originally, Zhou Yandong had a lot of opinions, but before it was his turn to explode, he heard that Cheng Shijie was going to pay taxes, and the amount of taxes to be paid was huge, and now he felt balanced.

At the same time, he also understood Cheng Shijie's intentions. Cheng Shijie took the lead, what else could he do?Not to mention paying too much tax, but in fact, when Dengzhou Wei was a hundred-household officer, even if Zhou Yandong squeezed out his hundred-household office, he couldn't squeeze out 1000 taels of silver.

Although there are no real poor people in southern Liaoning at this time, even ordinary military households who hardly have any cash, the problem is that any military household has more than a hundred acres of land in this year's reclamation, which means, When they arrive in autumn, they will have money.

Even if Cheng Shijie lowered the price of grain to five taels of silver per shi, their per capita income per household would easily break through 50 taels of silver.

Of course, if you want to increase your income, there are not no channels. There are more channels for making a fortune or rising in Liaonan than anywhere in Daming. The lowest income in the factory must be the new workers who have not passed the probationary period. Three months after passing the probationary period , you can get the same salary for the same position. If you want to earn more, there are two ways, one is to work overtime, and the other is to study technology hard. Craftsmen with different skills have different incomes.The wage gap between the lowest apprentices and the highest senior technicians is as much as 42 times.

If you don't want to work hard and don't think too much about technology, then don't complain about the unfairness of the distribution mechanism.

The death penalty was basically abolished in southern Liaoning,
Labor reform in southern Liaoning is very humane, because the higher the sentence, the crime must be extremely serious. If it is 20 years or [-] years of labor reform, it will definitely be sent to the most bitter and tiring quarry, or coal mine, Those that are five to ten years old are sent to iron mines or lime mines, those that are three to five years old are sent to cement factories or saltworks, and those that are less than three years old are sent to build roads or dig ditches.

Those who spend more than one year but less than three years will be sent to steel factories as apprentices. If they perform well, their sentence can be shortened. If they are less than one year, they will go to other factories and have the opportunity to work as apprentices. When their apprenticeship expires, they can get Formal salary, or become an ordinary military household in a hundred households in Tuntian.own personal property and freedom.

There are also three to five days or half a month of reform through labor, which are mainly crimes of unsanitary, open defecation, or fighting. They are usually sent to clean public toilets or streets.

However, when the Liaodong General Administration of Taxation was established, the first director of the General Administration of Taxation was Yang Yunniang, who was in charge of the banking system. Of course, Yang Yunniang's main job was tax accounting and tax rate calculation.The real tax collectors are Chen Guodong and his Military Supervisory Department. With the Military Supervisory Department as their team, they established the Liaodong General Tax Administration. This also shows that Cheng Shijie knows people and makes good use of them.

With the increase of Cheng Shijie's power, the power of the Military Supervision Department has also increased, and it has a tendency to become the Jinyiwei of Liaodong. It is actually very difficult for people in charge of the internal supervision system to catch taxes. It is actually very difficult to evade taxes in Liaodong in the future.

Unless Cheng Shijie has the ability to corrupt Cheng Shijie's Supervision Department, this job, unless Cheng Shijie is replaced to manage the Supervision Department, with the current personnel of the Ning Navy, who dares to betray Cheng Shijie, even without going to the military law team, ordinary soldiers will take them Bundle them up and send them to Cheng Shijie.

……

When Cheng Shijie was busy setting up the Liaodong Management Committee, Fu Zonglong returned to the capital. Fu Zonglong went to southern Liaoning as the eyes of the young emperor Chongzhen.

On the day Fu Zonglong returned to the capital, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to summon Fu Zonglong.

In fact, Fu Zonglong didn't need to face the saint. The result of his trip to Jinzhou this time has already been handed in the action report. Not only him, but also more than 100 officials who accompanied him.

Most of these capitals are poor officials, but Cheng Shijie gave them a lot of rituals. Although there is no real money, there are a lot of good things, such as worthless crystal bracelets, crystal necklaces, crystal jewelry, including transparent glass cups, They were all given away as favors, and besides that, there were also specialties from southern Liaoning.

As the saying goes, eating others' soft hands and taking others' hands short, these capitals finally got the opportunity to go out on business, so naturally they will not break the rules.We must know that other officials or themselves may go out of Beijing again, and officials from other places give them gifts in the hope that they will say good things.

If they don't say good things after accepting the gift, then who will give them gifts in the future?
In this case, these work reports, regardless of whether they can win the young emperor or not, are all good words without exception.

"Old minister greets His Majesty!"

"Fu Qing is free!"

The young emperor couldn't wait to say: "Come here, give me a seat and serve tea!"

Fu Zonglong knew the intention of Emperor Chongzhen when he saw this posture, and he wanted to hear the details.Fu Zonglong first told Emperor Chongzhen what he had seen and heard when he entered Jinzhou.

Gao Qiqian also came after receiving a generous gift from Cheng Shijie just now. He was still worried that old man Fu Zonglong would spoil his good deeds and speak ill of Cheng Shijie.

He didn't want Cheng Shijie to fall. When Cheng Shijie killed three scholars and was impeached by the officials, Gao Qiqian was still very worried. He secretly cursed Cheng Shijie for not being able to do things. Three talents, isn't that simple?
Considering that Cheng Shijie's promotion was too fast, Gao Qiqian thought that Cheng Shijie had no experience as an official, so he wrote a long letter to Cheng Shijie himself, and in the letter, Gao Qiqian told Cheng Shijie.

As an official of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to punish someone, you have to use two methods, grabbing the opponent's ability problem, the ability problem is very simple, find the fault within the scope of the other party's jurisdiction, prove the other party's ability is not good, and let the other party go .

Nothing wrong?Little thing, it's not easy to govern a place well, it's too easy to mess it up, if you spend a little money and send a few people over there to instigate an accident, something will happen.

The second routine is to address the opponent's style of work.The problem is relatively harmful. In later generations, it would be to expose the other party Bao Xiaosan's affair. In ancient times, this could not be done. In ancient times, three wives and four concubines were the norm. Isn't Bao Xiaosan not normal?

Gao Qiqian is an eunuch, what he means is to seize the other party's morality. For example, when the emperor dies, during the national mourning period, officials are not allowed to drink alcohol and have fun, and marriages are prohibited for [-] days.The matter of drinking and having fun is too simple. Pick the relatives and friends of the other party, whether there is such a thing or not, let's impeach first.

Every official has elders who have not passed the five uniforms. After becoming an official, they will definitely ignore these elders. If they are on the line, it is unfilial.

In later generations, it was just a matter of reason, but in the Ming Dynasty it was a matter of morality. An official who behaved badly would be looked down upon by everyone, and his future would basically be ruined.

However, what's funny is that most of the officials in the late Ming Dynasty had poor conduct, and there were fewer people with good conduct than beef on beef noodles.

Therefore, Gao Qiqian told Cheng Shijie in his letter that the key point is to catch these opponents' conduct problems, such as unrighteousness to friends, filial piety to elders, disloyalty to the community, and inhumanity to subordinates.

In fact, Gao Qiqian was confiding in Cheng Shijie's heart. This is like a joke in later generations. In the eyes of prostitutes, any woman can be sold, but the price is different.In the eyes of Gao Qiqian, a big corrupt official like the eunuch, all the officials of Ming Dynasty have no clean buttocks, and it is a trick to deal with anyone.

Fortunately, Fu Zonglong didn't say bad things about Cheng Shijie, basically they were all good things.

Emperor Chongzhen said in surprise: "You mean, Cheng Qing is actually planting grass?"

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian's face became gloomy, and he thought to himself: "You dare to speak ill of Cheng Shijie, beat our family's money bag, and our family will get your black hat!"

What do you mean the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry?This is.

"Exactly!"

"Why does he plant grass?"

Fu Zonglong explained: "Because Cheng Jinglue captured thousands of war horses from Jiannu, these war horses eat thirty catties of forage every day, and thousands of horses eat tens of thousands of catties of forage. There are more than 1 cows, and these [-] animals have to eat nearly [-] catties of fodder every day!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "One hundred thousand catties of forage, how much grassland does this need?"

"If you follow the way of Jiannu and Mongols grazing, you need at least several million acres of pasture!"

Fu Zonglong said with a smile: "But Cheng Jinglue adopts the method of artificial planting. One mu of land can grow several thousand catties of grass, and one hundred thousand catties of grass is only a few dozen acres of land! Cheng Jinglue's planting grass is actually a helpless move. Those lands, They are all dry land far from the ditches, and there is no way to grow food in such land, only grass!"

"I have heard of a lot of generals who organize soldiers to garrison troops and grow food. But Cheng Qing is the only general who grows grass in the whole world!"

Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Is there anything else fun to do?"

"Have!"

Fu Zonglong thought for a while and said, "Jinzhou City is very clean, even cleaner than Beijing City, but not as clean as the Forbidden City!"

The total area of ​​the Forbidden City is less than 3000 mu, and more than [-] eunuchs and palace maids are needed for cleaning.

Emperor Chongzhen asked in surprise, "How did he do it?"

When he was not an emperor, he was a believer in the king, but he followed the little eunuch out of the palace, went around the inner city of Beijing a few times, Chongzhen stepped on stinky dog ​​shit, stepped on human shit, and even stepped on urine Hang, he still remembers this bad experience so far.

"How did Cheng Qing do this?"

Fu Zonglong said with a smile: "Cheng Jinglue will fine people who defecate indiscriminately after catching them, and ask them to clean up the filthy things! The same is fined for ox carts or horse-drawn carts on the street."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that he could fine money, his eyes lit up green: "How much is the fine?"

"One cent and two cents!"

Emperor Chongzhen said excitedly: "If Cheng Qing can do this, I seem to be able to do it too!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zhixin, the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory beside him, and said, "Wang Banban!"

"The servant is here!"

"You heard it too, this matter will be handed over to your East Factory!"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "From now on, all the people in the capital will be fined one cent and two cents of silver if they defecate anywhere!"

One cent and two cents are twelve copper coins. If these twelve copper coins can buy seasonal vegetables, you can buy three cucumbers, almost four, leeks can buy four taels a catty, and eggplants can buy four.

For ordinary people, it is not a particularly heavy burden.

Cheng Shijie's regulations are flexible. If people have no money and because of ignorance, make the mistake of throwing garbage or urinating everywhere, clean up the garbage and just work for a day.

But the problem is, layer upon layer.

Wang Zhixin, the admiral of Dongchang, left the Forbidden City and came to the Dongchang anti-smuggling office in Donghuamen.

"Meet the factory supervisor!"

More than 200 people in charge of punishing thousands of households and punishing hundreds of households, foremen, foremen, stewards, service chiefs (also known as stall heads), and fan servants (also known as fanzi) attended the ceremony one after another.

"Everyone, come alive!"

Wang Zhixin immediately announced: "From now on, according to the imperial decree, littering, defecation and defecation are prohibited in the city of Beijing, and all vehicles and horses are prohibited to defecate anywhere. Violators will be fined!"

All the staff of the East Factory immediately smiled, saying that fines are fine, and they can get their own money out of it.

Wang Zhixin sighed: "Cheng Jinglue is a good man, he can come up with such a way to get money, he deserves to be promoted and get rich!"

After announcing the order, everyone in the East Factory began to mobilize collectively.

It was just dawn, and Feng Yigui, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop near Dongzhimen, as usual, the first thing he did when he got up was to open the door, and poured his night pot into the gutter at the door.

Just as the half pot of urine had just arrived, a man from Dongchang and two helpers emerged from the entrance of the alley.

Fanzi yelled: "Defeating anywhere, you will be fined!"

Feng Yigui was able to run a tailor shop in Dongzhimen, but he was also a follower. He said it was a fine, but he didn't take it seriously. These people must have no money to blackmail.

Feng Yigui said: "This old man and Bo Chenling, the magistrate of Daxing County, are in-laws. They don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, and don't let the brothers make a waste of time. Take it out and drink tea!"

Feng Yigui carried broken silver with him just to deal with this situation. He brought out Chen Ling's master Bo because Dongzhimen belonged to Daxing County, while Xizhimen directly belonged to Wanping County.

The Dongchang fanzi saw that Feng Yigui took out a little more than a penny of broken silver, which was far more than what they asked for, and Feng Yigui had someone else, so he let Feng Yigui go.

Not far away, a man who looked like a porter untied his trouser belt, and started to release water against the corner of the wall.

Fanzi walked over: "Fine!"

"What kind of fine!"

"If you defecate anywhere, you will be fined!"

Ordinary porters under the emperor's feet are not afraid of fanzi. After all, the formal establishment of the East Factory is not as good as Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei does not count the more than [-] Jinyi generals and guards of honor, and there are [-] Jinyiwei thousand households. The strength of the guards exceeded [-].

The East Factory has only more than 200 people, most of whom are recruited by Jin Yiwei. Usually, when encountering major cases hand-picked by the East Factory, they recruit people temporarily from the street.

The porter reported his background, but the problem was that Dongchang's eyes were red. How could he pass up the opportunity to make money in a fair and honest manner.

"Snapped!"

Fanzi slapped him across the face: "Stop the fucking nonsense and get the money!"

In this way, all the fans of Dongchang were dispatched, and in just one morning, they had a good harvest. They did not dare to blackmail the rich and powerful gentry, and ordinary people and businessmen from other places suffered disaster.

It's like He Lishun, a rich landlord and young master from Baoding Mansion in Beizhili who came to the capital to visit his relatives. He was directly blackmailed and bankrupt by Dongchang because of his horse-drawn carriage.

People like He Lishun are not alone.

The people in the capital shouted: "There is no law for the king, and you will be fined for peeing and shitting!"

But the problem is that Beijing has adopted the model of Jinzhou. Although there are many complaints and curses, the sanitation environment in Beijing is getting better day by day.

PS: Unexpectedly, there is also Chapter 3, which is [-] today, and it may be later tomorrow morning!
