People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 347 Set the rules, dare to catch Jin Yiwei?
Twenty-two thousand taels of silver is not too much for Chen Ke and Shen Wansan.

But definitely a lot.

Not to mention silver, Ming Dynasty used very little copper to mint coins.

The value of silver is very precious.

After Shen Wansan confirmed that Lao Mo had received the bank notes, he quickly issued the notes.

They put away the mirror worth 4 taels, and they didn't dare to take it lightly.

The former Shen Wansan may have looked down on 4 taels, but now that he has been skinned, he dare not spend money like water.

"Shopkeeper Shen, Shopkeeper Chen is very generous!"

Zhang Yi waited for them to complete the transaction and applauded.

He pointed to Lao Mo and said:
"The little one has already done his job as a guide, if you want to ask for a little real person in the future, you can find Lao Mo!

The servants of my Yikong family don't show their faces often! "

Chen Ke laughed and said:

"You are young and your future is limitless, the old man remembers that you are worth several hundred taels of silver, right?
If you want to redeem a free body, I think you can do it based on your friendship with the young master of the Kong family! "

Zhang Yi blinked:
"The young one has all this money because he is a servant of the Kong family, isn't it?"

Hahahaha!

Chen Ke and Shen Wansan looked at each other and smiled, this kid is interesting.

There are many children who are smart and calculating, but there are very few children who know how to calculate and are clever.

"It's okay for you to stay in the Kong family now, but it would be a pity if you stay in the Kong family after you are ten years old...

Boy, the Kong family is a family of scholars. If you have ambition, you can study hard to seek fame in the future!
If it doesn't work, when you redeem yourself, you can come to the old man, and the old man will take you to do business! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yi solemnly bowed to Shen Wansan.

Although he didn't need these points, he couldn't ignore the kindness of others.

He is neither humble nor overbearing, and knows how to measure.

Shen Wansan looked at Zhang Yi very pleasingly.

But Zhang Yi is a small person after all, and Lao Mo in front of him is their God of Wealth.

Chen Ke and Shen Wansan returned their attention to Lao Mo again.

"Old... I don't know what your name is, sir?"

"Leave!"

Lao Mo still had the expression that he would die if he added a word, but it was very difficult for the two big businessmen to play well.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if the little real person is still satisfied with us. Can we be lucky enough to meet the little real person?"

"Alchemy, don't see..."

Lao Mo refused bluntly, but when he thought that the two people in front of him were his rich men, his expression relaxed a little.

"In the future, I will take the initiative to contact you!"

"Then trouble sir!"

Chatting with Lao Mo was simply torture, and Chen Ke and Shen Wansan didn't have much to do.

He put away the banknotes and got up to leave.

Chen Ke and Shen Wansan got up quickly, and Zhang Yi also followed. Chen Ke said:
"Sit down, I'll ask Chen Man to send you back to Kong's house later..."

Zhang Yi had no choice but to sit down again!
"Brother Shen, talk to little brother, I'll send Mr. Li off!"

Zhang Yi was left where he was, and Chen Ke sent Lao Mo away.

"Sir, I don't know how often this mirror can be supplied?"

"A month, or a month and a half!"

According to Zhang Yi's instructions, Li Qingmo gave him some time.

Chen Ke was overjoyed, once a month, they would probably be able to make a fortune.

With a happy mood, Chen Ke watched Lao Mo drive away, and Chen Man quietly appeared behind him.

"Where have you been?"

Chen Ke was a little dissatisfied, and turned around to glare at his buddy.

Chen Man looked aggrieved:
"Boss, I'm hiding.

That person is my kind, very dangerous,

I was afraid he would see something, so..."

Chen Ke was surprised:
"What did you say?"

"Anyway, the other party must have killed someone before. He is a first-class expert. Fortunately, I have not been close to the Taoist temple before. If I meet such a person, it will be difficult!"

Chen Man patted his chest with an expression of shock.

Chen Ke's anger dissipated. As mice in the gutter, their most important survival rule is to be careful.

He didn't have Chen Man's ability to recognize Lao Mo's specialness, but Lao Mo didn't look like a person who was good at disguising, that temperament was obvious.

"It seems that Zhang Normal puts his son in the capital, and it's not that he is not prepared at all!"

"That's right, my lord, Longhushan is an aristocratic family!

In troubled times, human life is like grass, it is actually reasonable for Longhushan to take in a few desperadoes! "

Chen Man bowed his head and said seriously:

"Those Taoist priests are very bad!"

"Okay, do you want you to avoid him when we meet in the future?"

"No need, shopkeeper, today is mainly a sudden meeting, I have no mental preparation at all, next time I will know how to pretend!"

"Ok!"

Chen Ke got a satisfactory answer, turned around and went back inside.

Zhang Yi was chatting about business with Shen Wansan at this time.

Only Shen Wansan sighed:
"Your Majesty's reform of commercial tax has caused panic all over the world. The lives of us people are suffering, and it may be even more miserable in the future..."

"Come on, shopkeeper Shen, when you evaded taxes, you never said it was easy for you!
The little ones think that this can be looked forward to! "

"Oh!"

Chen Ke and Shen Wansan wanted to hear his opinion.

"Your Majesty has always ignored businessmen, and even suppressed them..."

Zhang Yi opened his mouth and looked around the two of them first. Chen Ke and Shen Wansan nodded. The businessman looked wealthy, but they were actually in a difficult situation. They understood this.

"Think about it, the two masters, if you hate a group of people, or hate a group of people, would you formulate a detailed and seemingly fair tax law system for them?"

Shen Wansan was suddenly lost in thought.

"In the past, His Majesty didn't pay much attention to business taxes, and he didn't take the group of merchants seriously, so he didn't even bother to manage taxes. He only collected taxes at a rate of thirty to one, and these taxes couldn't be collected...

The two masters should know that a one-size-fits-all tax is actually a good thing for businessmen!

Some of our Daming products have high profits and some have low profits!
Thirty to one tax, the businessman is taking advantage of the emperor's recuperation!
However, after the pirate case, His Majesty has witnessed the wealth of the wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, and also witnessed the tax revenue you have evaded over the years. Even if it is calculated at [-] taxes, this is a huge fortune!

If the younger one is the emperor, I'm afraid he will skin you, Master Shen. You didn't collude with pirates, so didn't you evade taxes?
If your majesty punishes you for tax evasion, is it wrong? "

Shen Wansan smiled guiltyly at what Zhang Yi said.

When Zhang Yi said this, he suddenly felt that his confiscated property in the Yang Xian case didn't need to be so distressing.

He had paid Yang Xian money for his life, but he had not paid money for his life to the emperor...

If the money given to the imperial court is regarded as tax repayment, he is too supportive.

"Your Majesty pays taxes across the board precisely because he doesn't pay much attention to the group of merchants. If the news of you guys evading taxes reaches my ears, I will definitely increase taxes, and it will be very heavy on merchants." Taxes, this is in line with His Majesty's practice of suppressing industry and commerce, right?"

Chen Ke and Shen Wansan nodded, there was nothing wrong with Zhang Yi's words.

"However, His Majesty did not do this. Instead, he drafted a very detailed tax law and did not promulgate it immediately. Instead, he chose Zhejiang as a pilot.

This tax law does impose heavy taxes on big businessmen, but it just shows that His Majesty is not going to do anything to big businessmen!
You two gentlemen, you feel distressed because you have become accustomed to not paying taxes, and you feel that His Majesty is robbing you of your money?
But this is not right, the imperial court has taken over the world, and it is its power to collect taxes. Everyone who evades taxes is robbed of the imperial court's rice bowl.

Now the imperial court not only does not pursue it, but also establishes rules!
Most importantly, set the rules!

There are rules, and there is a circle.

Such a complicated rule is to increase the ruling cost of the imperial court.

Your Majesty uses such a complicated tax law to manage businessmen. From a small point of view, it is precisely His Majesty who values ​​businessmen...

When we do business, the first priority is not profit, but risk...

The imperial court asked you to pay the protection fee, so naturally it wanted to establish the rules.

Let’s not talk about the distance, the last time when industry and commerce were so important was the Song Dynasty!

Did the great merchants of the Song Dynasty live in dire straits? "

When Song was mentioned, Shen Wansan and Chen Ke immediately looked yearning.

Although they don't have much culture, they are not familiar with the specific situation of the previous dynasty a hundred years ago.

But that was an era of prosperity and particularly developed industry and commerce.

The people are prosperous and the merchants are safe.

Zhang Yi had a saying that particularly touched Chen Ke and Shen Wansan, that is, the most important thing for a businessman is not profit, but risk.

Because of their low status, they have to bear many costs other than taxes.

These costs are far more than taxes.

What is the biggest risk for a businessman is unknown...

You never know what methods the imperial court will use to deal with you!
If the court can really set a rule, tell you what to do and what not to do.

As long as they can abide by this rule, if they put themselves in their shoes, they are willing to pay taxes!
"Hearing what the little brother said, the old man is not uncomfortable..."

Shen Wansan was enlightened, and patted his thigh hard.

He was too fat, and Zhang Yi could clearly feel the fat on Master Shen's body trembling like ripples.

Chen Ke meets:

"This seems to work..."

"So let's see, two masters. After a few years, it will be clear at a glance whether Zhejiang is good or bad..."

"Damn, yes!

However, before the pilot project in Zhejiang is promoted to the whole country, I have to make good money in the past few years!

The days of tax one at thirty are not many!

Just like the mirror we sell, if it is taxed according to the luxury of the imperial court, I am afraid it will cost several thousand taels! "

For a mirror, the tax is several thousand taels.

There were more and more waves on Master Shen's body.

"Brother Zhang, you are indeed a talent, Chen Man..."

Chen Ke shouted to the outside.

Chen Man came in with a stack of banknotes.

400 taels of silver is Zhang Yi's commission.

Zhang Yi trembled when he saw the bank note.

Chen Ke saw all this in his eyes and was very satisfied. As long as this kid is greedy for money, he will still have something to use in the future.

"Thank you two masters!"

Thank you very much Zhang Yi.

He himself felt that he could get a statuette!

His acting is awesome.

"I rewarded you with the 100 taels of silver. You did a great job this time!"

Shen Wansan gave another 100 taels of silver.

Zhang Yi managed to earn 600 taels during this period of introducing his business to them.

Don't look at the small amount of money, the pencil workshop pays dividends a year, maybe there are so many.

"The two masters, I will go first?"

"I'll take my little brother out! I have asked Chen Man to prepare the car and send you directly to Confucius Mansion!"

Zhang Yi also knew that he had to do enough acting, so let's drop by the Confucian Mansion for a meal.

After saying goodbye to Chen Ke, the coachman took Zhang Yi to Confucius' mansion.

When he went to Confucian Mansion, Lao Mo was also on his way back to Qingxin Temple.

Before he left the city, he saw a donkey cart that quickly overtook him and headed out of the city.

Qingxinguan is located in a remote place, and there are not many people around.

Especially the Emperor Supervisor... [Protection] After Zhang Yi, there are fewer real people around Qingxinguan.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lao Mo's heart. These people seemed to be looking towards a pure heart.

"A person from the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion?"

He is a former school inspector and now Jinyiwei. Although he is not familiar with the business, he has basic professionalism.

Although the Prefect of Yingtian Mansion and the prefects of other places are both fourth-rank, but in terms of status, the prefect of Yingtian Mansion is higher than other prefects.

Correspondingly, the magistrate's yamen of Yingtian Mansion seldom tried cases in person, and if they did, it was by no means a trivial matter.

"Could it be..."

Lao Mo hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly drove after him, but his little donkey cart couldn't catch up very far.

Bang bang bang!
"Open the door!"

The concept of pure heart, medicine garden.

Mrs. Li was weaving cloth with the loom in the Taoist temple, and little Meng Yao beside her was holding a book and reading aloud softly.

This harmonious scene was broken with a violent knock on the door.

Mrs. Li supported her stomach and got up.

Meng Yao was startled and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Recently, the clan members of the Meng family often came to harass Li Shi, and the mother and daughter couldn't bear the disturbance.

At this time, Zhang Yi and Lao Mo were not there, and the mother and daughter were even more frightened.

"Open the door, if you don't open the door, we'll smash the door!"

"Ying Tian Fu Ya is doing business, open the door for me quickly!"

The people outside reported their identities, and Li Shi was shocked. The people from the Yingtianfu Yamen were official servants...

She hurried to open the door, and sure enough there were a group of yamen servants standing outside.

"You are Mrs. Li, the widow of Meng He?"

Mrs. Li nodded, and the leading officer said:
"take away!"

The others came up to grab Li Shi without breaking up.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing, you slut does not obey women's rules, someone sued you, follow me to the magistrate's yamen for trial!"

"Why did you arrest my mother, don't arrest my mother..."

Xiao Mengyao burst into tears immediately, and hugged Li Shi tightly.

"Go away!"

The officer kicked Meng Yao away and dragged Li out of the house.

At this time, Lao Meng came back, saw the scene in front of him, and shouted to stop.

"Who are you and why are you taking people?"

"roll!"

Seeing Lao Mo rushing forward, several officials drew their swords.

As soon as Lao Mo moved his hand, two officials fell to the ground.

His skill was so good that it scared the others.

"You have a pure mind, don't you still want to resist the law?"

The leading official stepped back a few steps, his voice and expression were all stern.

Lao Mo's figure suddenly stiffened.

Although he is Jin Yiwei, but with his current status, it seems that he can't be like this...

"You must be Li's adulterer, come and take them down!"

The leader of the official sent an order, and Lao Mo, who did not resist, was also taken down.

They took Li Shi and Lao Mo and left quickly.

Only Xiao Mengyao was left alone, crying at the door.

And there was another group of people who watched the whole process dumbfounded, and their faces were bewildered.

Lao Mo is Jin Yiwei, and they are also Jin Yiwei sent by the emperor to monitor Zhang Yi.

They watched with their own eyes, Ying Tianfu Yamen arrested Jin Yiwei's people?
What's going on here?
