In front of Yingtianfu Yamen, people lined up in a long queue.

Just an hour ago, Yingtianfu Yamen posted an announcement.

The people of Jinling City quickly came to watch, and the literate scholars began to read.

"The imperial court uses troops every year and the treasury is empty. Your Majesty is so kind that he cannot bear to impose more taxes on the people."

"As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty have a court, they can take the initiative to apply for tax."

After reading this, everyone suddenly laughed.

"Although paying taxes and paying royal rations is a matter of course, what does it mean to take the initiative to apply for taxes?"

Someone asked in confusion.

It immediately caused a roar of laughter.

Since ancient times, we have only heard of tax evasion, but we have never actively applied to pay more taxes, right?

But what happened next left many people stunned.

"Anyone who applies for tax payment from Yingtianfu can obtain a tax certificate."

"The tax certificate will be different depending on the application subjects."

"With this tax certificate and application for tax invoice, you can start business."

"The original household registration remains unchanged."

Seeing this, many people rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen it wrong.

What are the prerequisites for doing business in Ming Dynasty?

The premise is that you must be a merchant, and only merchants are qualified to do business.

In addition to merchants, it is illegal for anyone else to do business, and the Yamen will arrest them.

However, the imperial court also stipulated that among "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants", merchants were the lowest.

Once you become a merchant, your descendants will not even be eligible for the imperial examination.

Therefore, although they know that business is very profitable, few people are willing to become merchants.

Only when you are really desperate will you do that.

Because of this, many merchants in the Ming Dynasty were servants of wealthy families.

They already have a low status, so it doesn't matter if they come to do business.

This actually leaves another loophole that allows large investors to profit from it.

In fact, strictly speaking according to Ming law, this is not allowed.

But even now, when Lao Zhu is in power and the Ming Law is most strictly enforced, it is still extremely common for noble families or officials to conduct business through this method.

As soon as Ying Tianfu Yamen's announcement comes out, that is to say, no matter what your status is, as long as you apply for a tax certificate, you can do business.

Moreover, the original household registration attributes remain unchanged.

Not considered a merchant.

Future generations can still take the imperial examination and become officials.

At this moment, the people in Yingtian Mansion suddenly went crazy.

Who doesn’t know that doing business can be a huge profit?

Who doesn’t know that all those businessmen are extremely rich?

However, thinking about the low status of merchants, the various restrictions imposed by the imperial court on merchants, and the future of future generations, most people tolerated it.

Even if you are poor and miserable, you cannot degenerate into a merchant!

But now, there are no restrictions.

So what are you waiting for?

The merchants are on strike, but they are not.

They are all rushing to apply for tax certificates.

After hearing the news, how can the merchants who were originally on strike still sit still?

Not to mention, there are two more awarded.

"From now on, anyone who does business must use a tax certificate as proof. Those who do not have a tax certificate are not allowed to do business."

"Any previous merchants who do not return to the market to apply for tax certificates today will not be allowed to do so again in the future."

Merchants already know that even if they do not resume trading, because after applying for a tax certificate, there will be no restrictions on business, and new influxes will immediately fill their gaps.

And they will be permanently eliminated.

Needless to say, there will be consequences if you lose your business qualifications.

In front of Yingtianfu Yamen, Jiang Wei looked at the long line of people who came to collect tax certificates, and his admiration for His Royal Highness Nanwang grew a little more in his heart.

Zhu Yunzhen also smiled slightly, everything was as he expected.

This trick is not actually very clever, but it is very practical.

If at any other time, he had relaxed his business qualifications like this, there would have been strong opposition from both the government and the public.

Even Lao Zhu may not agree.

But now, the merchants in Jinling City are on strike collectively, and the court cannot surrender to the merchants. This is a matter of course.

At this juncture, in the name of applying for tax certificates and collecting more taxes for the court, no one can say anything against liberalizing business qualifications.

Otherwise, would the imperial court still be coerced by those merchants and bow to them?

Which official dares to say this?

Although there are many people who hope to do this in their hearts, no one dares to say it openly.

Therefore, they had no choice but to accept Zhu Yunxun's approach.

For Zhu Yunxuan, he was worried that he could not find opportunities to liberalize business and encourage the development of commerce.

These merchants are closed and just give out pillows when you feel sleepy.

He just wanted it.

By following the current situation, we not only solved the crisis of market strike, but also made the business qualifications no longer subject to household registration restrictions.

The commercial prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has been basically guaranteed since then.

Achievements in one fell swoop.

No wonder he was happy.

The merchants who came to apply for tax certificates were all downcast.

After all the fuss, not only did not get half of the benefits, the tax certificate still had to be applied for, but the business qualifications were also opened to other people, and the profits in the future may plummet...

This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice. How can the merchants not be angry?

But they had to bow their heads.

Otherwise, you will really have to be replaced.

……

……

Huang Zicheng’s family.

Zhu Yunwen was supposed to study behind closed doors, but he couldn't sit still at all. When he heard the news in his mansion, he immediately came to Huang's mansion again.

"Fourth brother has put an end to the merchant strike, what should we do now?"

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai both looked very ugly.

I thought it would make it impossible for Zhu Yunzhen to end, but in the end, he gave pillows to others.

How hateful!

"The matter of establishing a heir apparent cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise it will really become a situation of fratricide."

"Your Majesty will not allow it, and the courtiers will also speak up."

Qi Tai said: "The plan now is to make King Nan make mistakes. We can't just sit back and wait for death."

Zhu Yunwen bowed and bowed: "Please ask two teachers to teach me."

The venue suddenly became quiet.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were both lost in thought.

The current situation is very clear, but for a while, they really can't think of a way.

Huang Zicheng's face changed again and again.

He suddenly spoke.

"I do have an idea. It will definitely work if the ship is destroyed."

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Tell me more."

Huang Zicheng stood up, walked a few steps, turned around and said: "Your Majesty cannot afford to delay, and the court cannot afford to delay. The matter of establishing a prince will be decided within this year."

"King Nan is so smart, we don't know if there is any guidance from an expert behind him."

Zhu Yunwen interjected: "There must be no such thing. If not, I should have known about it a long time ago."

He and Zhu Yunzhen live in the same house, so he naturally knows the details.

"If that's true, then he is even more terrifying."

Huang Zicheng said: "You know it, but His Majesty may not believe it."

"In my opinion, since King Nan is so smart and capable, with talents that have never been seen before, it is better to simply propose to His Majesty and ask him to make King Nan the emperor's grandson."

"Ah!" Zhu Yunwen and Qi Tai said in surprise at the same time.

Huang Zicheng's face showed murderous intent, and his voice became deeper and deeper.

"Let all the civil and military officials, the nobles of the court, the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and the people of the world all come forward to ask Your Majesty to appoint the King of the South as the crown prince. The louder the momentum, the better..."
