As the officials retreated from the court in despair, the relevant news soon spread from the capital to the outside world.

It was the next day.

Zhu Jianshen's edict quickly spread throughout the country with the issuance of the 10th issue of the Ming Dynasty official newspaper, and within three or four days it reached the ears of all salt households and other people.

For a time, salt households everywhere were really happier than the New Year, and happier than the children getting married and having children. While shouting to the Holy Emperor, they quickly packed up their things and sold all the tools for cooking salt. They took their families to the county government to change their household registration.

Don’t think that salt customers like to be salt customers more often.

Overall, except for some of the salt households who manage salt households, who may not be happy or depressed, all other ordinary salt households are excited and quite willing to see and accept it.

Because their lives are really hard.

Although there is no need to go to the field to work and there is no need to worry about not having salt, it is not uncommon for the whole family to cook salt day after day, and the most important thing is that they still have tasks.

It’s okay to be able to complete the task smoothly every year, but you can barely maintain food and clothing and not starve to death. If you can’t complete the task, the whole family will suffer, and you may be punished and beaten and scolded, saying that it is a salt household, but it is actually not much different from a slave.

There is no status in society.

Ordinary people think they are considered cheap.

The status is similar to that of an ordinary military household.

Now that they can change their household registration, they are almost as good as the ascension of the chickens and dogs, and they have new hopes, and in the future they can also openly say that we are the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the excitement of salt households.

The other craftsmen and military households who learned about this news were all envious. Others were relieved and had new hope in the future, but they still had to live their current lives.

At this time, they wanted Concubine Wan to do something else and force them to have no way to survive, because only in this way can they get rid of their current household registration.

Become an ordinary household.

From then on, we have channels and opportunities for improvement.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​ordinary people.

And those salt merchants collapsed instantly when they received this news.

The same is true for the salt administration department.

At this time, the difference between smart salt merchants and unwise salt merchants can be seen. Smart salt merchants quickly began to clear inventory and immediately changed their original sales channels, trying every means to transport the salt in their hands to the border and sell it to the ethnic groups on the grassland and the Khanate abroad.

Wan Guifei’s salt shop is currently only open and sold in the Ming Dynasty. I think that there shouldn’t be anyone who transports salt in large quantities to sell overseas, so the price of their takeout should not be too low, and they can make some profits.

It's not impossible to sell.

If they delay for a while, and someone buys the salt from Wan Guifei's salt shop in large quantities for takeout, their poor quality salt will be completely lost.

In addition, some smart salt merchants also directly changed their careers or began to shrink their power. In short, they just dare not confront them head-on.

The salt industry was run and could not continue.

That's a big deal to change careers.

Anyway, the family is still there.

This is a smart businessman, a not-so-smart salt merchant, who is still thinking about head-on and robbing. He even joined forces to find Concubine Wan's salt field to rob, or to find out how Concubine Wan made so much salt.

As for the result, it's hard to say.

Because they started planning.

This is the action of the salt merchants. The reason why the salt administration department was a little collapsed was not because they were fired or something. The main reason for their collapse was that in the past, those salt merchants wanted to buy salt and other things, and they had to go through their departments.

This oil should not be too heavy.

They also have a lot of private income.

Nowadays, the salt industry has basically been monopolized by Concubine Wan, and the name of the Royal Salt Industry is still the one who is defeated.

There is no need for salt or anything else.

In this way, they can have any more money and water. Not to mention the amount of money and water, they may have to lay off employees internally, so they can only find a way to find someone to transfer themselves from the salt administration department and go to other departments, or they will continue to stick to it, waiting to see if there is a turning point, or continue to live, hoping that even if the salt administration department is disbanded, the superiors will arrange them to other departments.

It can be said that Qiao Mu's operation is done.

It directly changed the entire salt industry.

And this is just the beginning.

After the salt prices officially stabilized and no more people were scrambling to buy salt. At the same time, they cleaned up all the salt merchants who were trying to rob the salt farm, Qiaomu continued to start the next plan and continue to expand his business territory.

At first, her shops only sold some daily chemicals and salt, but as Qiao Mu's commercial power expanded, he bought a large number of wasteland mountains to open up wastelands and mountains.

Other things have also been launched one after another.

Overall, there are not many things, but they are enough to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. The most important thing is that these things are produced and sold by Qiaomu and will not be controlled by others or strangled by them.

The rice, flour, oil and grain sold are all grown by ourselves.

It squeezed by yourself.

The silk cloth cotton sold is made by yourself.

Chicken, duck, geese and pigs are also raised by themselves.

However, the price of these things is not very low. Instead, it is basically sold at the same price as other people's surroundings, and it is even a little bit expensive. The specific reason is of course because Qiao Mu does not want to sell in large quantities for the time being.

She needs to stock up in large quantities.

Prepare for the second step of planning.

Before abolishing the land tax and the cap tax, she must first establish and put it away. If she wants to fully impose commercial tax and raise commercial tax, there will inevitably be many obstacles in various places. There may even be merchants joining together to make trouble. Qiao Mu is now hoarding a large amount of supplies that can provide people with food and clothing, in order to prepare in advance and prepare merchants for chaos.

This preparation took two years.

During the process, Qiao Mu not only constantly reclaimed land and farmed and hoarded land, but also purchased a lot of food and clothing supplies from various places without affecting the overall price, and even formed a lot of fleets to purchase them in the Nanyang area.

After two years of doing this, she saved up enough supplies for each household to purchase in a limited quantity, which was enough for all the people in Daming to maintain a year of food and clothing.

Zhu Jianshen's army has also been trained.

Trained enough to suppress most of the rebellion.

Until everything was ready, Zhu Jianshen formally proposed to revise the Commercial Tax Law in the court.

Comprehensive collection of commercial taxes and tariffs is required.

And increase the tax quota, implement step-by-step taxation, increase personal income tax, etc.

Finally, he also made a special note.

Personal income tax applies to owners of the Ming Dynasty, from the royal family to the people, and the officials in the middle are naturally within this range.
