Chapter 209: How does the grandson view the uncles in the frontier(2/2)
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Ying's brief statement, he placed the wine glass firmly on the table and said sternly.
Zhu Yuanzhang always spared no effort in cracking down on corrupt officials and killed them all.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I have already prepared the list of these people and will send it to grandpa tomorrow."
Regarding this matter, Zhu Ying and the old man are the same enemy.
It won't be long before the Ming Dynasty's treasury will receive an objective increase in revenue.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and then said:
"The money confiscated by the Salt Officials will be taken by Da Sun at his discretion. Previously, it was not easy for the Chamber of Commerce under Da Sun to come to Henan for disaster relief."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard clearly about the previous arrangements for Da Sun's yard on the bank of the Qinhuai River. After all, it was the Chamber of Commerce that Da Sun had worked hard to establish.
If he really wanted to cross the border all at once, it would make Zhu Yuanzhang feel disgraced.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. My grandson has other income. Now, the trade in snowflake salt along the coast can basically fill this gap."
Zhu Ying, this is the truth.
Snowflake salt has always been Zhu Ying's biggest source of money.
On the coastal side, when the channel was replaced by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, the profits that were originally going to be distributed increased greatly.
However, Zhu Ying was well versed in business. For coastal trade, after seizing the market, not only did the price not increase due to monopoly, but it was even half a percent lower than the previous price.
Don't underestimate the half-percent price. The huge trade volume makes the profits extremely exaggerated.
Not only that, but to a certain extent, in order to stimulate consumption, the export of trade volume has also been increased.
This is to quickly stabilize the market and allow other overseas merchants to purchase aggressively.
Although Qunying Chamber of Commerce is currently suffering from severe losses, there is not much trouble on the side of the chamber of commerce. With its good reputation, there will be no pressure at all until Xuehuayan recovers.
After all, those other chambers of commerce that are currently preparing to put pressure will probably not be able to put pressure on him for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang's keen sense of smell, when he heard Da Sun's relaxed state, immediately realized the huge gold and silver exchanges involved.
"It seems that it's time for Da Sun's snowflake salt to be introduced into the Ming Dynasty's treasury. Let's take this opportunity to properly manage the Salt Palace area."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke a few words, and the meaning behind his words was very clear.
Of course, Zhu Ying has no possibility of refusing. This will happen sooner or later. For Zhu Ying, this is no different from the left hand beating the right hand.
"My grandson will go back and think about it carefully. According to the current Yanguan system, it may not be able to generate the current profits. We have to think of a way."
If you directly hand over the recipe for snowflake salt to the salt official, it is basically equivalent to sharing all the profits from the snowflake salt.
The revenue from the national treasury is not as high as it is now.
"We know that you are familiar with Dasun, so we will let you arrange the purchase and sale."
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he had experienced a lot, but he knew nothing about the business of buying and selling.
However, commerce is one of the fundamentals of the country, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about this.
Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business does not suppress small traders and hawkers, those doing serious business.
Rather, they are those unscrupulous businessmen who speculate, hoard goods, and make it difficult for the country to make a fortune.
These people are the biggest problem in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang actually had a strong preference for business policies.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, an edict was issued: In the past, treacherous ministers gathered together and taxes were imposed on everything. I am very ashamed. From now on, no tax will be imposed on the marriages and funerals of soldiers and civilians, as well as boats, carriages, silk and cloth.
For all business taxes, one will be taken from thirty, and those who exceed the tax will be considered as violating the order.
This was enough to show that Zhu Yuanzhang responded to the predatory destruction caused by the late Yuan Dynasty and supported the development of business.
This is why businessmen have a low status but a quick source of money.
It's just because you don't understand that you lay hidden dangers.
"Regarding the matter of commercial tax, my grandson is thinking about a detailed situation. When it is completed, I will ask grandpa to help check for any gaps."
Zhu Ying said.
There are indeed too many hidden dangers in business in the Ming Dynasty, which also makes it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to collect commercial taxes, so it can only focus on agricultural taxes.
This situation cannot last, so Zhu Ying has long been thinking about how to improve the collection of commercial taxes.
There was some preparation originally, but it was for Annan.
The situation in Ming Dynasty is completely different now, so naturally we cannot copy it mechanically.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In his eyes, commercial taxes probably didn't fluctuate much.
"By the way, my grandson has one more thing he wants grandpa to explain."
"What's the matter?"
"My grandson chatted with Yunxi today and found that he loves carpentry very much, so he wanted to arrange to go to the Gunpowder Department to get in touch with the production of matchlock guns."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Dasun with a deep look in his eyes.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not raise any objection.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this was a preparation for the great sun, a preparation for the vassal king.
Zhu Yuanzhang once asked Zhu Yunwen about the issue of the vassal king.
Although Zhu Yunwen's answer is not satisfactory, it is still pretty good.
Regarding Da Sun's arrangement, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously believed that Da Sun had already begun to prepare for matters related to the subsequent vassal kings.
However, the problem with the emperor's grandsons such as Yunxi was not a big one. The main issue was with the King of Sai who commanded the troops on the border.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:
