"well……"

Cai Yan smiled bitterly and walked into the mansion with Su Mei's arm...

"There are many chores in Liangzhe. My mother came to accompany her child to celebrate the New Year when the road was blocked with her snow. Not only did she not meet her at the first time, but she was like this again as soon as she met. She was really unfilial."

"As early as a few years ago, the old masters in Hangzhou managed the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Although there was a little more land, it was not too troublesome to do it according to the rules of the past. As for the miscellaneous matters in the military... there were three old masters here, and my mother didn't need to spend too much energy."

Su Mei smiled and said relaxed, but Cai Yan knew that this was not the case. In the early years, there was a Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, which was a council formed by tenants and merchants. Just like a later council, a village-level council formed by village managers and tenants, then to various counties, states, and finally the Hangzhou General Council, which summarized it step by step, and finally included in the Hangzhou General Council, which will be summarized at the end of the year and discussed all matters in the coming year.

There is no big trouble for the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Tenants and merchants are natural "enemy". Merchants and merchants have their own wars due to the distribution of land production. In order to gain more voice, even if the Cai Mansion does not arrange a person to manage and supervise, they will try their best to arrange personnel first and stare at each other with their eyes wide open. The Cai Mansion is sure that it does not require much energy, and only needs to stamp the Cai Mansion seal at the end of the year.

At first, there was always some friction and chaos, but Cai Yan didn't ask much about it and let the Hangzhou companies supervise it. The more they ignored it, the more cautious they were, the more they were, for fear that Xiao Wu Yanei, who did not play according to common sense, changed the rules of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The friction and chaos were much less.

But he knew that this was just because the Hangzhou companies were initially suspicious and cautious. After a year or two, the friction between the companies would become more and more intense, and as the winners and losses were decided, they would enter a long period of stable period.

Cai Yan didn't care too much about the struggles of each family. As long as the struggles of each family, the fighting will not affect the tenants who directly cultivate the fields, nor will the tea picking and silkworm farming farmers, and the farmers who will do whatever they want.

There are more than 500,000 hectares of land. Some families are rushing to send off offspring to various prefectures and counties to serve as managers. At most, the Cai Mansion can set up a "inspection team" under the board of directors to inspect the law. The military is simpler. The Second and Third Divisions are all in the military camp outside Hangzhou. Except for the daily "one, two, one" practice that affects others' rest, there is nothing else. Even if there are, it is a matter within the military camp. There are Guo Huan, Annon, and Liu Yidao who are taking care of Hu Zi and Wang Bing. There will be no waves in the military camp.

But this does not mean that Su Mei Niang has really become an idle person. The officials in the fourteen prefectures of Zhejiang are just a big trouble.

There are countless lands, and almost every village has a branch of the Jiangnan Commercial Council. These branches are almost independent of the world and seem to be under the jurisdiction of each prefecture and county, but countless councils are only responsible to the councils at the higher level, and are responsible at each level, just as intercepting the jurisdiction of each prefecture and county.

Originally, even if there was such a special existence of the Council, the governments of the fourteen prefectures of Zhejiang had a way to intervene. One of the biggest means was the Baojia Army system determined during the Yining period. Ten households and one guaranteed one, all the people in the world were incorporated into the "Baojia". Even if there were such an alien existence as the Council, the tenants under the name of the People's Republic of China were still affiliated with a member of the Baojia Army. However, after Cai Yan abolished the Baojia Army, the Volunteers and other township troops, officials from all prefectures and counties had no way to intervene in the Council and the Council under the name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The tenants under the name of the Chamber of Commerce had a dispute and were illegal, so they stopped complaining to the government. They all went to the council to criticize the emperor. Most of the managers in the village council were sent by merchants, but all the members of the directors were all locally famous elders, so the government still needed to review them, beat the board, and slapped the table and cursed the emperor and solved the matter.

If there is a dispute, the government will not complain. The tax will be paid directly by the councils of various prefectures and counties, and the Cai Mansion will directly pay the tax. Even the opportunity to send an official to the village to make money is gone.

The Cai Mansion is posing as if he wants to collect all the fields in Jiangnan. Without the fields, there is no farming on the fields, the people will be managed. What else should the government do?

dissatisfied!

Officials from the fourteen prefectures of Liangzhe were dissatisfied!

If you are dissatisfied, you will go to Hangzhou to file a lawsuit. As for why you don’t go to Jiangning or Kaifeng to file a lawsuit...

Is it useful? Is it useful to run to Jiangning? The Yangtze River was seized by the Cai Mansion again, and the Prince-Confucius of Cai robbed Ying Tian but did not see Kaifeng's million-strong army encircled and suppressed him. Is Kaifeng useful to run to Jiangning?

It was not Hangzhou in Nanjing. When Cai Yan ran to Yingtian, Hangzhou became the de facto capital of Jiangnan. The officials of the fourteen prefectures of Zhejiang and even Fu Guang, and the officials of the two lakes also went to Hangzhou to file a lawsuit. Cai Yan knew that it would be impossible for Su Mei to be truly relaxed just by fighting lawsuits with these smart and cunning officials.

Listening to her mother's indifferent talk about the chaos in Jiangnan, Cai Yan felt very moved...

"Five hundred thousand hectares of land are extremely huge. If the government is more kind and kind, it would be better for the people if it can compete with us. If it still has a lot of taxes, it is estimated that the entire Jiangnan field will flow into the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. Even if we don't buy it, countless people will pay it under the name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

Su Mei nodded and sighed: "Our family is a one-size-fits-all approach, and all the miscellaneous taxes are all in one place. Even if the tax is 10% less than the many miscellaneous taxes in the court, it is just like the people who take the initiative to invest in the names of fame and talented scholars. In the future, countless people will definitely invest in our names."

Cai Yan nodded in agreement. The people are not fools. They can calculate the pros and cons by themselves. If they have the benefits, they will naturally try to become a member of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The imperial court had a heavy tax. The summer tax was levied, and the tax was levied on the economic crops of tea, mulberry and hemp, and the corresponding tax was also levied. With the blessing of the two, people who did not have enough copper coins could only use tea silk and hemp to replace copper coins. In this way, the tax paid was uncalculable. Conscientious officials would get more than 50% of the tax, and those who were slightly unscrupulous would earn multiples or several times of the tax.

If the people do not have enough copper coins in their hands, it does not mean that the people do not have money in their hands, it does not mean that the people do not have salt banknotes. The key is that the tax collector does not recognize that the salt banknotes act as copper coins to pay taxes.

The value of salt banknotes is linked to salt, and is linked to one or half a pound of salt per person. Logically, it is valuable and can naturally be used as paper banknotes. But for the court, these salt banknotes are the salt sold every year. If they return to the court, wouldn’t it mean that the salt cannot be sold? It would be natural that the court sells salt to make money.

Salt banknotes are a special existence. They act as paper banknotes for circulation because of their links to salt. Just as the gold bonds issued by Cai Yan were linked to gold and silver mines, they are valuable and can naturally replace paper banknotes for circulation. However, the imperial taxes do not recognize the status of salt banknotes as currency. In addition to buying salt banks every year, the imperial taxes do not recycle salt banknotes.

But no matter what, when the people do not have enough copper coins, they can only pay taxes in kind. Once they pay in kind, the tax collectors will have room to operate. At this time, in order to get the cheapest basic items, merchants will cooperate with the government to suppress prices at this time.

This is the case for summer taxes and autumn taxes. Not only are there small buckets, but also official grain transportation fees, grain storage fees, food storage fees, food loss, birds, rats and gnaws, and beef tendons and horns for making bows and arrows... There are many miscellaneous taxes.
