The Ming Dynasty.

The civil servants are working on a large-scale construction project to start building large-scale harbors in the estuary of the Yangtze River, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Fuzhou.

After Zhu Di received this information, he was stunned.

Kill your ten clans (the heroic lord in the prosperous era):

"Damn it, this is really the same as Chen Tong said. Free is the most expensive."

"I originally wanted to repair this harbor, but I didn't expect these civil servants to repair it themselves."

"I really want to thank them for their contributions to the Ming Dynasty."

……………………

Li Yuan also smiled at this moment.

The ordinary head of the Li family (the hero of the troubled times):

"King Qin, learn a little."

"This is called taking advantage of the situation."

"As soon as Zhu Di was free, he then acted like he wanted money, and he clearly would not spend a penny to build the harbor. For the best interests of the officials, they would do their best to promote this."

"This is an irreversible trend."

"You must do this in the future, and try to make others unable to see your purpose."

Li Shimin humbly accepted the teachings at this moment. Just one simple thing can show his level of governing the country.

This is what governs a big country like cooking small fresh food.

.............

Soon, news of Zhu Di forming a naval army and building a sea ship spread.

The civil officials were completely exploded.

The six ministers of the Ministry of Rites convened civil and military officials and demanded a grand court meeting. As soon as Zhu Di came to court, the Minister of Rites immediately jumped out and pointed at Zhu Di's son and scolded him:

"Didn't your Majesty say before that you should treat this money as military expenses?"

"How can we use it to build sea ships and form a navy army now?"

"Is Your Majesty trying to engage in overseas trade and compete for profit with the people?"

At this moment, the civil and military officials in the court were very unhappy. If Zhu Di really wanted to do this, they would really make some trouble for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di leaned on the dragon throne and said lazily:

"How could I go back on my word?"

"I will never let the dynasty intervene in overseas trade."

When everyone heard Zhu Di say this, they felt much more relieved. If the emperor really robbed them of business, they would really not be able to.

The Minister of Revenue was still worried and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What is Your Majesty doing to form a navy army?"

"Are you going to fight against Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Di smiled very happily:

"I'm not thinking, are you going to engage in maritime trade?"

“It’s not safe along the way.”

"I have formed a naval army to provide protection for you. You only need to pay a little security fee, and ensure that there are no pirates above the sea that can harass you."

"How about it?"

Security premium?

At this moment, the ministers were completely stunned.

The Minister of Revenue finally realized something was wrong and looked at Zhu Di in surprise.

He cursed in his heart, "I, Cao, I actually let a martial artist play tricks on me!"

Nothing free is fucking nonsense.

This security fee is a disguised tax!

The Minister of Revenue's eyes were red. He felt that his IQ was insulted, and he could not beat a reckless man!

Thinking of the way he bought Haiyin before, he felt extremely ashamed. He really sold himself and counted the money for Zhu Di!

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to collect the security premium you mentioned?" The Minister of Revenue asked gritted his teeth.

At this moment, the hall was quiet, and everyone was cursing wildly in their hearts. No matter how stupid the person was, he knew that he had been fooled.

They felt how ridiculous it was to compete for the sea leasing a few days ago.

They actually paid money to build a naval army for Zhu Di. Looking back, Zhu Di used this naval army to protect their safety and then collect taxes from them.

I'm fucking, the routine is too deep!

This is simply a business without a foundation.

No, this is clearly a robbery!

Shameless, scum.

Zhu Di proudly stretched out two fingers, shook them, and didn't say anything.

The Minister of Revenue's eyes turned red at that time.

The taxes in the Ming Dynasty were very low, and maritime trade was commerce, so the tax burden given by the court at that time was thirty taxes per one.

Zhu Di stretched out two fingers, what does this mean?

The Minister of Revenue gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Does Your Majesty feel it's too much? You actually set the security premium twice the tax, and you actually have to pay thirty taxes!"

When the Minister of Revenue said this, the hall was filled with air conditioning.

Everyone felt that Zhu Di was crazy.

This is really a robbery.

And then, the cruel reality makes them feel what despair is.

Zhu Gaoxu proudly raised his head and said to the ministers with his nostrils:

"You have to pay thirty taxes, I think you haven't woken up."

"The Ming Navy protects you, is it worth that little money?"

"What a joke!"

"What my father said is, ten taxes and two!"

"Our security premium is to draw 20% of your profits!"

"This is the only way to support the Ming navy, otherwise wouldn't this navy have to pay for it?"

Zhu Gaoxu was so proud that it was more profitable than tax collection. No matter how high my father set the charging standard, he would not be criticized for his heavy taxes. This is not tax.

I want to collect as much as I want, it's so cool.

At this moment, the civil officials really wanted to scold me.

This immediately increased the original tax revenue by 6 times.

The Minister of Revenue and others really wanted to vomit blood. They struggled for a while, but not only did they not have tax exemptions, but they turned out to be 6 times more expensive than before.

They are really angry.

Some people really want to slap themselves twice, secretly calling themselves too stupid, not right, because the enemy is too treacherous.

The Minister of Revenue shook his body and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Your Majesty, you are robbing!"

Zhu Di smiled at this moment, smiling very happily: "If you think this is a robbery, then this is a robbery!"

"In addition, thank you very much. Each of you has invested and worked hard to form a Ming navy for me."

"Otherwise, if I am so poor, how could I form a navy army to collect security premiums from you?"

"You are my loyal ministers."

"To thank you, I decided that the security premium can be charged monthly!"

"Would you like to buy it again?"

"I can give you a 20% discount."

“It’s very cheap.”

Zhu Di slapped the table and laughed, and he was fighting with me. I had Chen Tong give me some advice, I won’t die!

The Minister of Revenue's face turned pale, and his mouthful of blood was surging in his heart. He was actually plotted by Zhu Di.
