Tang Queqing had every reason and qualification to ask Zhu Yunxi to make concessions on many matters that had nothing to do with government affairs.

Or it can also be said that when Tang Queqing did not comment on the government affairs, everything this woman said and her eyes showed was that he needed to give in.

after all.

This woman gave birth to twins of the fourth generation of the Ming Dynasty, and was also the biological mother of the eldest son of the fourth generation of the Ming royal family.

Under the situation that the Ming Dynasty has been vacant of queens for two consecutive dynasties.

Tang Queqing was the most noble woman in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is something that not even the ladies in the palace can compare to.

Does Zhu Yunxi dare to say anything against it?

Not to mention whether he was willing or not, even if he really said it.

There is no need for Tang Queqing to do anything.

The old man must have been the first to be killed.

Then there is Dad and the ladies in the palace.

There is also a high probability that my stupid son who only knows how to click, his stupid second son who only knows how to nibble on his brother, and the good daughter who has been favored by the royal family will be ignored for a long time.

Own.

So Zhu Yunxi made a very wise choice. Apart from government affairs, the crown prince's biggest criterion is.

As for letting the twenty-fourth uncle Zhu Dong eat some sweets?

Even if the twenty-fourth uncle gets diabetes at a young age, he must support the wise and just princess's decision.

The worst thing to do is to let the Taiyuan Hospital strengthen the physical training of Uncle Twenty-Four.

It’s not like there were no fat men in the old Zhu family during the Ming Dynasty.

The majestic Prince Yan was once a prominent figure in the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, but he has lost weight now.

Princess Tang Queqing is correct, pertinent and absolute.

So Zhu Yunxi wisely chose to take Xiaopang and Xiaohan for a walk elsewhere.

As for the twenty-third uncle Zhu Huang who insisted on the eternal existence of the Xian Party?

This little brat is still at the stage where he can be suppressed by force, so it doesn't matter.

Today is Chinese Valentine's Day.

It is also the year when the new and old emperors of the Ming Dynasty took over. It is considered the last year of the Hongwu era, and the next year is the Yongsheng era.

It is precisely because of this that the festivals in Yingtian City this year will probably be particularly prosperous.

In the evening, the Xicheng project lit up lanterns one after another, just in time for the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

Countless lanterns and boats with Chang'e themes are scattered throughout the Xicheng project.

The lanterns are on.

Around the scenic lake area, fireworks also began to take off.

The men, women, and children of Yingtian City have devoted their greatest energy today to cooperate with the prosperous Ming Dynasty that seems to have arrived.

The nobles in the palace also waited until the fireworks show was over, and then quietly left under the guard of the imperial army.

And at midnight, the officers of Yingtian Mansion rang the big bells located on the tall buildings around the Scenic Lake area.

This indicates that this grand event has finally come to an end.

After the common people contributed a huge amount of consumption and business tax to Yingtian Mansion, everyone returned home with a full load.

Wait until the door bolts of each entrance and exit are down and the fences are locked.

The Xicheng Project Department lit up the lights.

Officials who were proficient in arithmetic and had been snatched away from various ministries and bureaus by Yu Dalian gathered in the smoky Datong room.

The abacus kept crackling.

Thick account book, page by page.

Yu Dalian did not go home, but sat at the end of the rows of abacus with Zou Xueyu, the governor-general of Zhili.

Alongside them were officials and stewards from the Ministry of Accounts, the Ming Dynasty Company, and the Ming Bank.

Although the accounts on today's opening day cannot represent the operating income of the entire Xicheng every day in the future.

But now Xicheng has not been completely built.

Even though it is already midnight, no one is sleepy.

That still unknown number attracts everyone's attention.

In the dark night.

Under the bright lights all over the Xicheng project, Zhu Yunxi was alone, secretly escorted by the imperial army, outside the project department.

After all, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing cannot miss work all the time.

Now that summer taxes are about to be collected, the tax office is the busiest time. If he is absent for one day, nothing may happen, but if he is absent from the Yamen one after another, many things will be delayed.

As for Zhu Shangbing.

He doesn't have to go back, but he will have to accept the consequences afterwards.

There are many descendants of the clan who have made meritorious deeds among the military guards.

Even if he is the eldest son of the King of Qin, he will not get any benefit from the 'selfless' commander-in-chief of the army.

When Zhu Yunxi pushed open the door of the accounting room.

Then I heard an exclamation coming from inside.

"That's three hundred and seventy-two taels and three cents and nine cents!"

A scratching sound.

Zou Xueyu, Yu Dalian and others who were sitting at the back of the room all stood up in response.

Even the prince, who had just started, didn't notice it.

Yu Dalian, the prefect of Yingtian, was already flushed and excited.

As for Zou Xueyu, as the governor-general of Zhili, he seemed a bit calmer.

But his tone was also a little anxious: "Say it again, how much!"

The official holding the final settlement account book in his hand smiled and shouted loudly: "Return to the supervisory desk, after erasing the zeros, the total consumption and business tax will be three hundred and seventy-two taels."

"good!"

Zou Xueyu clenched his fists with both hands and slammed them on the table in front of him.

The face of Yu Dalian beside him has turned into a flower with a smile.

The officials and officials from various ministries and yamen who surrounded the two people were also very happy.

Zhu Yunxi also smiled, stepped forward lightly, raised his hands and applauded.

"This number is really good!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, people in the room finally noticed and reacted.

"Please wait and see the prince."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Let's all go."

Zou Xueyu stood up first, while Yu Dalian personally moved a chair for Zhu Yunxi.

After Zhu Yunxi sat down.

Zou Xueyu then said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, today is a good start for the Xicheng project. The consumption tax for one day is three hundred and seventy-two taels. Although it is the first day of opening, more people come, but in the next project

All the facilities have been completed one by one, and they probably won’t be any worse.”

Zhu Yunxi nodded in affirmation.

Despite the huge investment in such a large Xicheng project, the business tax on the first day of opening seems to be only more than 372 taels, which does not seem to be a lot.

But if calculated based on three hundred taels, the business tax is nine thousand taels per month.

The business tax exceeds one hundred thousand taels for a whole year.

And before the Hongwu New Deal in the Ming Dynasty, how much commercial tax was directly collected by the court?

Zhu Yunxi recalled it carefully.

Twenty-four years before Hongwu, the direct commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was only about 150,000 taels.

Of course, this excludes direct commercial taxes other than banknote duties, ship points, real estate deed taxes, bamboo and wood points, mining and silver, fishing taxes, etc.

Poor Youmingyi.

Industry and commerce have developed beyond normal, but only a direct commercial tax of less than 100,000 taels can be collected.
