Chapter 1789 Due Diligence

After all, Lin Qingran wanted to do more for the Ming Dynasty and become the most competent Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

After the two measures of "discreet book" and "taxation and silver replenishment" were blocked, he also focused on other matters, and now he wanted to turn the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and Suzhou Weaving Bureau into cash cows.

As many people imagined, the Ming Dynasty implemented the collection of physical objects not only rice, grain, grain, but also silk cotton, but also silk silk collected according to the number of mulberry plants.

The heaviest silk tax is 139,654 horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, among which Yanzhou Prefecture, the first one, had to pay 49,216 horses, while the heaviest silk tax is 17,019 horses in Yanzhou Prefecture.

It can also be seen from this incident that when Hai Rui was appointed as Chun'an County, facing this "fish and meat county", he was able to maintain integrity, but it was something that extraordinary people could do.

So much silk and raw silk are undoubtedly an invisible wealth. However, a lot of raw silk and silk are often piled up in Taicang, or used to exchange silver to fill the expenses of the imperial court, which is undoubtedly a waste of resources.

Since the Ming Dynasty signed a silk supply agreement with Portugal, Lin Weiran decided to allocate the raw silk and silk collected to the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, which was a kind of strong support for the raw materials.

The Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau are in charge of the Admiral and Eunuch. Lin Qingran naturally refused to be a bad person, and he was even more reluctant to destroy the good situation by the eunuch.

It is precisely because while proposing to allocate raw silk and silk to the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, it also proposed to send officials from the Ministry of Revenue to settle in the two bureaus.

The situation of the Ministry of Revenue is quite special, with the Thirteen Qing Lishu Departments under it, corresponding to the Thirteen Provinces respectively. The Nanzhili area was not matched by the Qing Lishu Department, but was always under the responsibility of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is a department with real power.

As a second-rank yamen, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is considered a common yamen, so it has great independence and may even report to the emperor.

However, Jiajing of this dynasty rarely interferes in local affairs directly. In addition, while Jiajing repeatedly extended his hands to the Ministry of Revenue, he also gave the Ministry of Revenue a great financial management power. The Beijing Ministry of Revenue formed a great suppression on the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue.

Lin Weiran was determined to build a healthy court finance and was in charge of the financial expenditure affairs of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. He even regarded the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue as his subordinate yamen.

The Minister of Revenue of Nanjing, Ge Shouli, was an official from the Northern Division and was in the same year as Yang Bo. However, facing Lin Shiran's "oppression", he could only do it obediently.

After all, in the current court, let alone the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing who is on the brink of politics, even the Minister of War Yang Bo has to let Lin Weiran score three points.

The same is true. Lin Weiran directly handed over the affairs of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue for responsibility, and the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue sent officials to assist in the Suzhou Weaving Bureau.

"Please pay homage to the Lord of the Hall!" Yang Junmin came after hearing the news and politely said respectfully.

"The Hangzhou Weaving Bureau needs a head of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to assist in the management. I wonder if you intend to go?" Lin Qingran asked straight to Yang Junmin.

The Ministry of Revenue has set up the Thirteen Qingguan Offices, which correspond to the Thirteen provinces respectively, and there are no branches in the local area. If there is any local affairs, the Ministry of Revenue will usually send officials to it.

"Secretary, lower official..." Yang Junmin was caught off guard when facing this sudden errand, and seemed to be unsure of his mind and hesitated.

Lin Xuran knew what he was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Master Yang, you don't have to rush to reply to Benzhengtang! Benzhengtang will give you two days. If you think it's not suitable, I will send Chen Xinglong there!"

"Master Zhengtang, I wonder why you chose me to come?" Yang Junmin hesitated for a moment and asked very seriously.

Lin Junran raised his head and looked at Yang Junmin, responding seriously: "The Hangzhou Weaving Bureau naturally has to select personnel from your Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch. You and Chen Xinglong are suitable, and you are both proficient in financial management! But you are more motivated than Chen Xinglong and can see through some tricks than him. The Hangzhou Weaving Bureau involves at least hundreds of thousands of taels of flow every year, so if you go there, I will feel more at ease!"

This is actually what I mean. Yang Junmin is now in the early stages of his career. Not to mention that he has no financial pressure, it would not be a good deal if he had sex with the eunuchs at the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau.

Although it is true that Yang Junmin is Yang Bo's son, he will not vent his anger on a "junior". It is indeed out of public interest to send Yang Junmin to the Hangzhou Weaver Bureau.

"Master, the official is willing to go!" Yang Junmin responded with high fighting spirit in response to Lin Junran's gaze.

Lin Weiran was a little surprised, but shook his head gently and said, "You should go home and discuss it. If it is not appropriate, Chen Xinglong can do this!"

"Xiaoguan is an official of the Ministry of Revenue. Xicheng Mengzhengtang attaches great importance to it. Xiaguan will set off for Hangzhou tomorrow morning!" Yang Junmin responded with his mind.

Lin Xuran was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yang Junmin to be so determined, so he said seriously: "I am indeed incompatible with your father, but I, Lin Xuran, are not against others! Hangzhou Weaving Bureau has a great relationship. If it can be operated, it will benefit the Ministry of Revenue a lot! As long as you can do your best to get this matter done, I will definitely not ignore your contribution and will also promote it..."

"The Lord Zhengtang despises his subordinates, and he is also determined to do things for the Ming Dynasty. He will do his best to get things done by the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, not seeking official positions!" Yang Junmin knew what Lin Junran wanted to say, and immediately responded seriously.

Lin Junran discovered that Yang Junmin had not yet become a bad habit in the officialdom. He was not too addicted to pursuing power, but also retained a innocent heart to make decisions for the people.

Facing the energetic Lin Yang Junmin, Lin Junran did not have a mother-in-law, but gave him a face-to-face lecture, and then sent Yang Junmin away.

As the sun was already west, the roofs and streets of Beijing were covered with a layer of golden light, and officials from the six yamen left one after another.

Lin Weiran stepped on a layer of golden light on the steps and walked out of the courtyard at the right time, but unexpectedly encountered Hai Rui who had just returned to the Ministry of Revenue from outside.

Over the past period of time, thanks to Hai Rui's position in Chongwenmen, there has been no mistake in the tax collection work of Chongwenmen.

The eyes of the masses were all sharp. After watching the many money offensives and power temptations not achieving any effect, Hai Rui has always maintained a poor lifestyle in the capital, which has made more and more people respect this Haiqingtian, who has not entered the salt and rice.

"The official has met the master of the main hall!" Although Hai Rui relied on his official position, he still understood the etiquette of the officialdom and respectfully politely said to Lin Qingran.

Hai Rui's sixth-rank official uniform was purchased after Beijing, but he had many disputes with people in the Chongwenmen tax collection. He was tear a long hole during a pulling with someone. Now he has sewned it with needles and thread, which has caused several more sewing places on his official uniform.

Lin Weiran still had a deep respect for Hai Rui's style, so he nodded gently and said, "Master Hai, now at the hour of the Youth, why not go home as soon as possible?"

"The officials have a lot of things to do, so they can go back after handling it!" Hai Rui first gave up the aisle, and then responded without being hot or cold.

Lin Xun suddenly reminded with concern: "Don't be too busy too late!"

"Sir, please obey the order!" Hai Rui responded clearly with a distance.

Lin Qingran knew that Hai Rui was actually a workaholic. With Shanghai Rui's mother and wife were both in their hometown in Hainan, they often chose to spend the night in the Ministry of Revenue, so they got into the sedan chair.

Hai Rui looked at Lin Weiran's sedan chair and his eyes looked quite complicated.
