The Moon of Harmony; Ten Days of Reading, everyone is getting up early despite being tired.

ten.

Ma Ma wandered around all the families who came with her family to see who was not ready. She just talked a few words and sent someone to help.

In particular, some families moved here with their whole family, and they were not prepared for the ancestral tablets and incense and candle offerings. The elderly attach great importance to these things.

I brought the family with me, new clothes and hats, chicken, duck, fish, snacks and candy, and even rice, noodles and Wangtong, and there was no shortage.

The twenty red and black shopkeepers even brought sorghum from Baoding Prefecture. This was the best spirit. When transported to the grassland, they had to be exchanged for horses, cattle and sheep. They were asked to go to the wild field to get wild game, and they were fully supplied.

The young men gathered together, busy preparing for the fun. At night, they were also waiting for them. The young people were in high spirits. When they were together, they forgot their homesickness and were completely replaced by excitement and freshness.

Wang Tong's house was naturally the main courtyard, and his father Wang Li's spiritual seat and incense table were all set up. When he woke up early in the morning, according to the rules, Wang Tong respectfully burned incense and kowtowed.

After the sun rose, Lu Wancai, who arrived yesterday, came to the door again. As soon as he entered the door, he was startled Wang Tong. Lu Wancai's eyes were covered in blood, and he looked like he hadn't been asleep all night.

Before he could ask, Lu Wancai said with a wry smile:

"What Brother Wang said yesterday afternoon is really hungry. He tossed and turned around for a night, but then he stopped sleeping. He lit up the lights and copied what his brother said. After looking at it, he felt that he had experience. In the past, when the imperial examinations were held, he often heard the old man at home talking about Wenquxing descending to earth. What did brother descending to earth like this?"

Bikou, Yao Zheng

Wang Tong looked at the excited judge Lu Tong and said laughing and crying:

"Brother Lu, combining work and rest can easily damage your body!"

"Combining work and rest" Lu Wancai said this, and then tapped his palm with a folding fan, exclaiming:

"These four words make a lot of sense."

Wang Tong shook his head, not daring to say any idioms anymore, and asked directly:

"Brother Lu must be amazed that he came this morning. You can't waste too much time in Tianjin. Just ask if you have anything to do!"

Lu Wancai blushed and smiled with shame:

"Brother Wang is very thoughtful, so I asked, "The Public Security Bureau has already done a lot of work to collect information in the capital. Apart from brothels and gambling houses, I don't know how to continue, nor how to collect money. I also have to take out a charter for Brother Wang."

I don’t know how to accept it, but Wang Tong was stunned when he heard this. What’s the problem? But looking at Lu Wancai’s expression didn’t seem to be fake. Just say:

"We are going to and from restaurants and tea shops, and we will send the signs in a mixed place. They deal with the yamen more and have many right and wrong, so we can't afford to blame us. The others start with big businesses and get some big ones and small ones, so they dare not accept this sign."

After hearing Wang Tong's words, Lu Wan nodded. The confusion on his face became heavier, and even Wang Tong became confused. He thought to himself that this matter was so difficult. Sure enough, Lu Wancai hesitated and asked:

"What if these merchants don't make a deal?"

"If you don't pay, are there fewer ways to cause trouble for them in the yamen? Shuntian Mansion can't be found, may the Jinyiwei still be found, may the Jinyiwei not be found, may the Dongchang have no choice, whether it is a royal relative or a minister or a senior official behind him, do you have no secret place?"

Wang Tong's words suddenly became stern, and Lu Wancai, who was attentive, couldn't help but tremble. The question is still there, saying it is so easy, what if the estate of Wuqinghou, what if it is Eunuch Feng and Eunuch Zhang, what if it is the industry of Lord Zhang, what if it is the industry of the cabinet assistant to Mr. Zhang, but Wang Tong immediately gave the answer:

"Of course, some of them are not necessary to be accepted, but if you want to trouble Eunuch Zhang, you must ask Your Majesty to issue an order to waive it. This is your Majesty's reward, not the benefits they get based on their power."

Lu Wancai exclaimed again, even though they were not charged, the meaning was different. It is a common practice for the Ming Dynasty to exempt people from taxes and taxes from fame and official positions. If they don’t directly accept them, they will take it for granted, and if the emperor issued an order to exempt them, this would be a special one, and they should be grateful.

After tax exemption becomes a privilege, those who obtain this benefit will actively protect and exclude others. These top noble families in the Ming Dynasty will also automatically maintain the system of this safe brand.

However, the next sentence Lu Wancai asked made Wang Tong almost feel angry:

"Since that's the case, how much do those serious merchants need to collect? After all, they are genuine merchants and brothel gambling houses. Wouldn't they go bankrupt directly if they collect so much?"

"Look for some accountants to check their books, look at their business, and set the level according to how much money they make. The less you make, the more you earn, the more you earn, the more you pay

Brother, when you talk about Wenli, you will definitely make a joke. But Wenli will reward you every time... and you can find the accounts in various shops. How could these people work for us?"

"Why don't you go to the Ministry of Revenue to look for it? Isn't there anyone in the world who is the most proficient in mathematics?"

Wang Tong was indeed a little anxious and asked in a stiff tone. Unexpectedly, the rhetoric question he thought was common sense made Lu Wancai smile bitterly.

"Brother Wang, it seems you don't know. The Ministry of Revenue's Ping An brand charges Ping An money the most is the biggest talk. It is believed that it is extortion of hard-earned money from the people. It is a disaster for the people to collect it. In the past, the Ministry of Revenue never participated in the accounting of the silver brought back by the tax and mining supervisors in various places, so it had to be collected by the internal treasury. How could the officials there help us?"

After hearing this, Wang Tong was stunned. Looking at the policy of Ping An Brand in the long run, it was equivalent to opening up a new tax source for the Ming Dynasty. The industrial and commercial industries in cities and towns would collect a large number of taxes according to this method. Why is the Ministry of Revenue so resistant? It is simple to think about it. How can civil officials collect taxes? It is not counted if they secretly attack the permits and cards. It is necessary to resist passively.

Wang Tong sneered and said in a deep voice:

"Since that's the case, let the shopkeepers and owners report their own turnover, and then collect money according to this amount, and set up a heavy reward. As long as someone says that the store's turnover is fake, then it will be severely fined. He will be severely fined at several times or dozens of times the amount of fake, and no fines will be given. As for the money that has a heavy reward, it will be paid out from the heavy penalty amount, and a lot of 30% will be given."

Hearing this, Lu Wancai couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted OK, and the interface said:

"Who is most familiar with the business income of these stores, but not those account owners. After they filed a secret, they had a handle in our hands. Next, they checked other accounts and had personnel,"

The two of them were so happy that they spoke, but Ma Ma opened the door and came in, clapping her hands and said with some anger:

"This is the New Year, you two have been talking about business for so long, and they don't take a break. They come out to see the boys busy, and it's good to share the joy of the New Year."

Wang Tong and Lu Wancai looked at each other and smiled. They quickly stood up and said to Ma Ma:

"Go here, go here."

What Wang Tong said just now may not be a good governance, and it may even have various disadvantages as soon as it is implemented. But the problem now is not how to collect the money. It is whether it can be collected, and there is a start. Make achievements for the little emperor, and then the little emperor uses this achievement for others to see. This is the key to the problem.

The two of them walked out a few steps, and Wang Tong looked ahead and whispered:

"When I go back, I ask Eunuch Zou and the others to tell me that the officials in charge of the various yamen in Tianjin need to help me check the details. It is best to send it before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In addition, Your Majesty must be very concerned about the matter here, and there must be many memorials and edicts. Please ask the Ministry and Eunuch Zhang to help you. For the secret, can you get a locked iron box? Only Your Majesty and I have the key. The box contains memorials and approvals, and will be delivered by the fast horse."

After hearing this, Lu Wancai hesitated a little and quickly replied with a solemn expression:

"Please rest assured Brother Wang, this news must be brought to you. I guess the emperor and the father-in-law will not have any objection."

This is not only a message, but also a point of view that Wang Tong knew that this time, Lu Wancai did not mean that he was. There would definitely be Zhang Cheng and Bu Yi's sect behind him. There might even be instructions from Emperor Wanli.

He is now in Tianjin, and he actually wants to come up with advice on the matter in the capital. Wang Tong also took advantage of the situation to put forward his own conditions. He knew that his power and status came entirely from Emperor Wanli. Now he is more than 200 miles away, and it takes a long time to go away. He will definitely lose his feelings and drink weight.

It is necessary to establish a channel for communication and maintain this connection and friendship. Secret commentary is undoubtedly a good idea. For the moment, the palace will not refuse to abandon the dedication.

,”

The thirty-year lunar month in the palace is not so much a joyful thing as a busy person, worshiping ancestors, worshiping gods, praying for the country, and praying for blessings for the country, and so on.

The little emperor Wanli finished this and that in a dress, and then did it again and that. He returned to his study in the afternoon, took off the heavy crown of the dress temporarily, and waved the eunuch and palace maid who served him, and then complained:

"It's so tired that I have to wear this outfit to my mother's side in my clothes.

The current little emperor would ask anyone other than Zhang Cheng to retreat when he said any private words, and occasionally go back outside the door to see if there was any eavesdropping.

Zhang Cheng hung his dress on the shelf there, and Emperor Wanli whispered:

"When winter begins this year, Lian and Hutou said that we will celebrate the New Year together and set off firecrackers to visit the temple fair together."
