Chapter 1736: Tribute to Beijing

The Tatars are now convinced by Ye Chunqiu.

Because for them, Ye Chunqiu was very real. As long as they were willing to work hard, they fought against the world and killed many enemies, the Zhenguo Mansion would be free and would not be denied a single or a tael of silver.

From then on, they don’t have to worry about their cattle and sheep, and they don’t have to think about other livelihoods. If they don’t have medicine, they can buy medicine. If the weapons are not good enough, they can buy it. If they want to live a good life, they will work hard. Zhenguo Mansion has not had any family matters with them, care about their daily life, and say something good. What Zhenguo Mansion does is not to promote emotional exchanges. It only needs to establish a credit, and under this credit, it is enough to fully fulfill its obligations.

The Tatars had no worries. Naturally, they would fulfill their obligations honestly.

At this point, they were obviously more loyal than the Han people, because they had such real benefits, so that they knew that Zhenguo Mansion would not deceive themselves. They wanted to live a good life, wear high-quality wool leather jackets from Zhenguo Mansion, want their children to have enough food and clothing, want to buy new clothes for their wives, and get everything they wanted, Zhenguo Mansion gave them a feasible channel.

Facts have proved that their lives are much better than before. Although there are dangers now, they were both dangerous and bitter and cold in the past, and they could not even be self-sufficient in salt. Even in winter, many people even freeze to death. That kind of life is a conceivable hardship.

Without comparison, it is difficult to see the good or bad clearly. Nowadays are many times better than before, so they are more willing to work hard for Zhenguo Mansion.

Naturally, for Ye Chunqiu, the strong Tatars were brave enough to move forward, saving a lot of manpower and material resources for expanding their territory.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu's eyes turned to a map on the wall. This was a huge world map. Like Zhu Houzhao, they were placed in the most conspicuous position of Ye Chunqiu's public housing.

Now the development of many lands is almost done.

If we go further west, we will not face the small Khanate and ordinary tribes, or the subordinate feudal lords who are attached to various countries.

Going further west, you will face the Ross people directly and the great cannibals. These two civilizations are completely different from the Khanate and the Capitols around the desert. They have a relatively strong civilization and have certain war mobilization capabilities. If the Tatars were just fighting monsters before, then the next step is to fight the small boss. The most important thing is that when going west, the land will become more and more abundant, no longer just a barren land, but as simple as the desert and ice fields.

This... is just the beginning.

However... it seems that it is time to solve the matter in the court, so that he can continue to do what he wants to do with confidence.

There are indeed many problems that give many people in the court a demonstration. For example, the Turpan people used to send envoys to the capital to pay tribute. Although the court was out of reach for them, their purpose of tribute was to take the opportunity to make a small advantage. However, in any case, this was also considered a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. There were many vassal states that took advantage of the Ming Dynasty. The Tatars were very real. Seeing these, they were like crazy, just like a fly rushing over when he saw blood and rushed over and beat him directly.

This also caused a lot of trouble for Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu decided to go to Beijing to pay tribute. In order to prepare for this tribute, he also needed to prepare. He hadn't seen His Majesty for a long time, and I don't know if he was fine.

It is spring in the capital, everything is renewed, and there is vitality everywhere in the air.

However, it is obviously not very peaceful in the capital now. The commercial tax law has been implemented, but it is difficult. Although many obstacles have been eliminated, in this place where agriculture has been valuing over commerce for thousands of years, any change will take a lot of effort.

Even if some laws were released, they soon had policies and countermeasures from the top. Many local governments were either perfunctory or searched for some loopholes in the articles and ignored the commercial tax law.

In this way, the policies that were originally more favorable to merchants have caused complaints from merchants.

The original merchants might have to face the difficulties of gentry and exploitation of the government. For example, after passing a certain checkpoint, the officers and soldiers guarding the pass must draw your goods. Either draw one ten or one five five, the commercial tax law was implemented. Originally, the court meant that the tax was unified and the court took away those illegal and harsh taxes. The court received commercial taxes, and merchants could feel at ease as long as they paid a tax.

But in fact, this is not the case. The court imposed commercial taxes, but the local government still had to cause trouble for you. If you refuse, then the transaction would not be done. There are always countless ways to cure you. As a result, the commercial tax that protects merchants has become a burden on merchants.

The cabinet had to make repeated orders, but the effect was not great, which made Wang Hua very worried. What's more, some merchants would rather surrender to some ministers or gentry in court than pay commercial taxes. Some people honestly paid, but those who are very good at hand refused to pay. Those who paid felt they suffered a loss because their goods cost were higher, while others' costs were lower than themselves. Once they competed in the market, they would steal; if they had taxes, they had a great advantage. If they dared to sell 300 yuan, they would not lose money. If you sell the same price, they would lose all their money. Your price was higher than him, and your goods could not be sold. Such all kinds of things were naturally full of complaints.

Sometimes Wang Hua felt a little powerless when he saw some sensational things, and even was stunned. There were people in the court to restrain him and the Shilin criticized him every day, making it even more difficult to deal with the place.

The commercial tax law implemented may be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Jingji area, but once it reaches the local area, people will not recognize it at all.

He also worked hard, and in just over half a year, he seemed to have grown ten years old in an instant.

But when I think about this success, I still have to patiently do the troublesome things.

The changes in the capital are actually not much, but there are more open and hidden arrows nowadays.

Nowadays, many places have been in trouble. For example, the lord of the Siberian Khanate actually sent envoys to the court during the reign of Emperor Wen. The court gave them additional titles and rewards. If the golden seal had not been lost, it would be considered a vassal now.

As a result, Ye Chunqiu actually pushed the others directly.
