Chapter 649 Commercial Tax

"If you understand, then go down."
He Kun carefully raised his body a little and said respectfully: "Wei Chen thanks His Highness for your kindness, Wei Chen takes his leave."
After He Kun exited the warehouse, Li Chen said to Chen Tong: "Let Suzhou and Hangzhou send He Kun's materials as soon as possible. I want to see them."
Chen Tong immediately understood that He Kun was about to soar into the sky.
Just look at Xu Changqing and the others.
Although the official rank has not changed, everyone knows that they are the prince's confidants, and the power in their hands has expanded countless times.
In the past, they were just marginalized people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, but now, even the two ministers have to look at their faces to act.
The same thing happens now to He Kun.
The prince's companion is only a fifth-rank scholar, and he doesn't even have any power.
But at the moment, there is only one person accompanying the prince in the East Palace, and he is responsible for gifts, a major matter that the prince is very concerned about. It can be seen that this is just a test and training. If it is done well, He Kun's rise may not be the same.
Block everything.
I can't say it, but I want to get close and intimate in private.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Tong had already thought a lot.
"I understand the humble position."
Chen Tong bowed respectfully and then exited the warehouse.
When he came outside the warehouse, Chen Tong saw He Kun wiping the cold sweat on his body. He glanced at He Kun, whose palms were soaked, and said with a smile: "Master He, please go back and change clothes quickly. It's not easy to catch a cold in this weather.
good."
The famous deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards cared so much about him. He Kun was quite flattered and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will go back and change my clothes now."
Chen Tong smiled and said: "From now on, when we work together under His Highness, you and I are colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite."
As if sensing Chen Tong's closeness, He Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, there is a dagger in Xiaguan's residence. I heard it was imported from overseas. Xiaguan is a scholar. Although the dagger can be sharpened like iron.
The mud is extremely sharp, but when it falls into Xiaguan's hands, it will always be a treasure covered in dust. How about Master Chen taking advantage of it and having Xiaguan send it to Master Chen to palm his eyes?"
As an official, He Kun speaks very nicely even when giving gifts.
Chen Tong was greatly benefited from it. Just look at what He Kun sent to the East Palace and he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary thing. So Chen Tong nodded calmly and said: "I do have two minds about weapons.
If you have time, just send it to me for a look."
"Thank you, sir."
He Kun was overjoyed.
In the warehouse, Li Chen didn't care if the two people outside were messing around.
As a superior person, what he needs to control is the general direction. If the people below him are a little dirty, he does not need to take care of everything in detail.
No one is perfect.
When the water is clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples.
He Kun's performance today surprised him.
Lifting a sea ban is something he has been planning for a long time.
Encouraging commerce and re-taxing commerce are also the only way for him, as a time-travelling person, to understand that a society and national power need to develop.
In the feudal era, the main tax revenue of the imperial court was agricultural taxes. However, before the explosive growth of science and technology, the total output of the small harvests in the fields of the common people was fixed, and a lot of losses would be incurred if there was no natural disaster.
Agricultural taxes are too heavy and people cannot make a living.
Too bad, the court has no money.
Therefore, commercial tax is the real big factor.
It is extremely difficult for He Kun, a feudal aboriginal, to see through this.
