Mou Bin said, sighing.

He didn't dare to fight with the prince and Fang Jifan.

I just want to prove my worth and my ability.

"So, now all the thousands of households and hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei have been moved by me. No matter how difficult it is, we must not slack off."

Mou Bin could only explain this. No matter how much he said at this time, it would look pale. He only hoped that the Jinyiwei could do his best to arrest the White Lotus Sect’s members.

The next morning, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Mou Bin to the palace.

When Mou Bin saw the carriage, he saw Emperor Hongzhi holding the latest statistics in his hand, and Xiao Jing was serving him.

This new statistics looked extremely terrifying, and Emperor Hongzhi showed deep thought on his face.

Fang Xiaofan designed a new statistical method, which was to discount all outputs, and then calculate the production value of each prefecture and county based on taxes.

Although this calculation method may not be completely accurate, it can roughly show the output of each prefecture and county.

In the latest year's statistics.

The growth of the capital was particularly high, and its output was more than double that of last year. This was naturally related to the influx of a large number of disaster victims, as well as the output of various constructions and countless workshops.

Secondly, it is the Baoding Administrator's Office. The Baoding Administrator's Office is only one prefecture and one prefecture. Among the provinces, the area of ​​the jurisdiction is extremely small, but its growth is also a great success.

The capital and the Baoding Administration and the Provincial Administration Department had already exceeded the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, which had always been prosperous, so that the provinces in the south of Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi were still far from the same.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the tax situation again, and the gap became even bigger, because the promotion of the commercial tax in the capital and the Baoding governor's office, the annual income of the national treasury was as high as 19 million taels of silver, which was ten times the difference between other provinces. The provinces adopted the tax in kind, but...

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the memorials from other provinces. The governors and governors of various provinces seemed to have also hoped to pay the silver tax under the call of the gentry.

The reason is that people were happy to pay physical tax in the past, because physical tax was good and bad, and there were also a lot of losses, which gave many people the opportunity to get involved.

They also claimed that they had handed over the grain, but the newly paid grain also had the difference between good and bad rice, but they were sent to the grain warehouse, which was rice.

As for food, it always needs to be transferred. During the transportation process, manpower and material resources are required, and the food will inevitably be consumed. This is another investment.

But with the reason of inflation, people are no longer willing to pay taxes in kind. After all, the same pound of rice may be worth three cents in the first half of the year, but in the second half of the year, it may be four cents. People realize that the value of assets changes at any time, and the increase in commercial activities, the sale of goods is becoming easier and easier. Many merchants are even now going directly to each township and directly purchasing grain, which saves a lot of trouble.

In this way, why not pay taxes based on silver?

Emperor Hongzhi pondered and said lightly.

"Now, the banknotes of the money shop have been promoted, and it is easier to buy and sell, but... the banknotes must also be wary of the lessons of the Ming Baochao... The new policy of Baoding Prefecture has been effective, which is the credit of Ouyang Zhi. With the Baoding Administration as an example, the implementation of the new policy has been put on the right track. I see, Ouyang Zhi should be summoned back to Beijing."

Then, Emperor Hongzhi murmured to himself: "As for the taxation of silver and the implementation of a whip method, I see, it is time to go. However, grain is the foundation of the court. Other practices can be taxed by grain, but it is only grain, but it cannot be rushed."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, raised his red pen, approved a note, and handed it to Xiao Jing: "Send it to the cabinet, let that discussion. What I mean is that other provinces can use silver instead of grain to calculate taxes, but the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are absolutely absolutely necessary. Let the cabinet come up with a charter."

Xiao Jing naturally understood what Emperor Hongzhi meant. After taking the note, he nodded submissively.

The grain tax in Jiangnan accounts for half of the world's grain tax.

It is not that Jiangnan's grain production accounts for half of the world, but between Jiangnan and the capital, there is a Grand Canal connecting the grain, convenient transportation, minimal loss, direct water flow, and save manpower. If other provinces collect one pound of grain, half of the pound can be sent to Beijing, even if it is Amitabha, the grain tax is really not of great significance.

"Go." Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand gently to Xiao Jing, who nodded.

After hearing this, Xiao Jing bowed his body and responded, and walked to leave. He looked up and glanced at Mou Bin.

Mou Bin lowered his head and stood with his hands behind his back.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Mou Bin and said calmly: "Muqing family, you are here."

Mou Bin immediately bowed down: "I have met Your Majesty."

"I have been waiting for you to come. How about it, does the White Lotus Sect have any flaws?" Emperor Hongzhi expressed concern about this.

It is amazing to steal so much gunpowder, and these people are ambitions to even murder ministers. This is beyond tolerance. You can only feel at ease if you hold Emperor Hongzhi one day.

Now the Beijing is in a panic. Three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi, sent ministers to properly protect them, but this will not be a long-term solution.

Emperor Hongzhi could only hope that the Jinyiwei would catch those people as soon as possible, so his eyes looked at Mou Bin with some expectations.

When Mou Bin knew that this was a big deal, he said solemnly: "The Jinyiwei is already doing his best. Please rest assured that you will catch them all in one place within a month."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly to express his trust, but he pondered for a while and said, "You are an old minister who serves me. I know that you are steady. The White Lotus Sect is treacherous and has always been secretive. It is difficult for you in a month, but now it is not urgent. I believe you can do your job well."

When Mou Bin heard the word "Old Minister", he seemed to touch his mind and became excited.

He was not a very smart person, but when Emperor Hongzhi was the crown prince in Zhanshi Mansion, he was just serving him in front of him. It can be said that he watched Emperor Hongzhi grow up with his own eyes. At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was already full of hair, and Mou Bin himself was old. Although Your Majesty did not like factory guards, he had always been good to himself.

Mou Bin's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but choke and bowed to the ground: "It's a blessing for the old minister to share his worries for His Majesty. How can he not be so heartbroken? Even if he is an axe, a pot of soup, he is really happy."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and sighed, then said seriously to Mou Bin: "I just ordered you to suppress the White Lotus Sect bandits. What axe or a pot? You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, how can you say such things?"

"Yes. The old minister died."

Emperor Hongzhi comforted him: "Do it well, your grandson is not young anymore, let him enter Xishan Academy. When I succeed in my studies in the future, I will use it."

"yes."

…………

As he was speaking, an eunuch hurried in outside: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... White Lotus Sect bandits... took it... took it."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he looked at Mou Bin with a look of surprise.

This old guy is very skilled.

I just said in front of me that within one month, I will definitely hold the White Lotus Sect bandits, turn my head and take it?

Mou Bin looked confused, looking completely like he was in a state of confusion.

Seeing Mou Bin's dazed look, Emperor Hongzhi was also full of doubts. Why, he didn't know at all? What's going on?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the eunuch, who understood: "It was taken by Shuntian Mansion, and surrounded a warehouse, found the batch of gunpowder, and arrested thirteen people on the spot. In addition, more than ninety people were arrested at other harbor sites, which was almost all in one place."

Shuntian Mansion...

This is a bit of a dog's fucking rat.

but……

The dog really grabbed the mouse.

You really have to admire it.

A few days ago, the prince was very busy. This was the new yamen again. Emperor Hongzhi only thought that his son wanted to sell the land and was full of money. He was not like himself, and he had no view of the overall situation at all.

But who would have expected...

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the eunuch and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the man?"

"It's in the Shuntian Mansion Prison."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was unstable.

Shuntian Mansion...

The official does not build a yamen.

Those two guys built Shuntian Mansion dozens of miles away.

He really admires these two guys.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered: "I'll go and see."

"His Majesty……"

Mou Bin was complicated and came to his senses. He heard that His Majesty was going to Shuntian Mansion and seemed a little worried.

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled at Mou Bin and said, "I have the protection of my family, what are you worried about? Let's go, Shuntian Prefecture has moved. I haven't seen it yet. Isn't it a joy to move the house? I want to give gifts. Look at our Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture, what gifts do you want to give me."

Mou Bin was confused: "..."

After a long time, he took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, the joy of the people's house moving is...yes...it is...it is the guests who give gifts to the host. It is not the host who gives gifts to the host..."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi nodded, looking back: "So that's it, I'm actually thinking about it."

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "But if you say it carefully, I am the emperor, and I am the master of Shuntian Mansion, right? Let's go, I want to see who the White Lotus Sect is."

Mou Bin's mind is extremely complicated.

But Emperor Hongzhi did not mean to blame him. At this time, he did not dare to neglect and immediately followed Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi set up his car and got on the car. He walked out of the palace with the imperial guards for more than an hour, and the sky mansion was far away.

Look from a distance.

The Shuntian Mansion is extremely majestic and covers a considerable area, with a main building and dozens of auxiliary buildings.

Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car and looked at him with a slump. He couldn't help but think, this is probably a lot of money.
