Zhu Di sighed very much, "It is human nature to start a family and build a business and carry on the family line... I will reward you with a house, what do you think?"
Lin San was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "The common people dare not expect a mansion. Even if it is given to the common people, the common people cannot afford it."
He actually refused, and Zhu Di became even more interested. He asked curiously: "Then how are you going to buy a house? It's not easy to live in Yingtian!"
Lin San said simply: "To return to Your Majesty, the common people are becoming more and more familiar with their skills. If nothing happens, next year's salary will be able to reach one hundred and twenty guan. After deducting food and rent expenses, I will save five dollars every month."
If you save ten strings for five or seven years, maybe you can do it. Cao Min's fiancée also wants to go out and work, but I can't bear to do it. She is a woman who is not familiar with the place. It will be difficult for her. "
Zhu Di took a look and saw that Lin San was not young anymore. It would be really pitiful for him to buy a house and get married after five or seven years.
"Third brother, do you have any plans? These are your soldiers, and you should make their lives better." Zhu Di scolded Zhu Gaosui.
Zhu Gaosui cried, "Father, as the saying goes, we don't worry about scarcity but inequality. If we increase wages for so many people, I'm afraid that my son's residence newspaper will not be able to continue. But please rest assured, father, I will try my best to find a way.
"
Zhu Di frowned, and he also saw that this newspaper and bookstore is just a small court. It must be able to make money and deal with things fairly. The person in charge cannot knock the bones and suck the marrow. The people below must also work hard to prosper...
Zhu Di set his sights on Xu Jingchang again, "Tell me, do you have any ideas?"
Lin San pondered for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "How can we ordinary people tell clearly what is right and wrong? Emperor Jianwen wants to kill Emperor Yongle, and Emperor Yongle cannot just sit back and die. The common people also say that you are not good at beating people, and you are not good at swearing.
.It is impossible for the people not to suffer. But just looking at His Majesty’s actions now, I think he is a good emperor.”
Tang Sai'er couldn't help but frown when he saw it, "Third brother, it's such a waste. Although your wages are quite a lot, you have to rent a house and eat, so you can't afford the trouble."
Lin San chuckled, "What a virtuous girl... But don't worry, something good is about to happen."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned, and then became furious, "Cousin, if you keep doing this, I really won't care about you anymore. I don't believe it. Just a few of you can fight against so many courtiers!"
After saying that, Zhu Gaosui said: "Not to mention anything else, the second brother has signed a business deal with the Shibo Department for 300,000 pieces of silk. The required raw silk has been signed with the people in western Zhejiang. He is now doing business everywhere.
If a workshop with three thousand looms is set up in Yingtian, it can produce about 50,000 pieces of high-quality silk a year. If sold to the West, it will be one million taels. Silk is heavily taxed, as much as 30%.
That is to say, there are three hundred thousand taels. Brother, how much state tax does three hundred thousand taels of silver represent?"
There is a distinction between high and low, and there is an order of superiority and inferiority.
Xu Jingchang said unceremoniously: "I just have an extra chair in this room."
"Just under your butt!" Xu Jingchang said bluntly.
Zhu Di returned to the palace excitedly. This visit was really eye-opening and gave him a glimpse of the unusual way of governing the country.
Next to him, Liu Jun, Minister of the Ministry of War, also followed suit: "He took a step forward, and we took a step back. We took a step back, and he took a step forward. Now we have no retreat, and it's a last-ditch battle! I shouldn't have given him a barracks school in the first place!"
"Dong Guo Gong, you said that if you let the female family do some business outside Jubao Gate, what about the taxes?"
Lin San told her what she had experienced today. The little girl was so frightened that her face changed, "Brother San, have you met the emperor?"
"His Royal Highness, why don't you ask King Zhao for advice and let him tell you."
Zhu Gaochi didn't like hearing it anymore, "Second brother, you are getting more and more crazy now. I want to ask you, who gave you such boldness?"
Zhu Gaochi was filled with anger. The old man became less and less able to speak. He looked at Xu Jingchang, who also spread his hands.
Zheng Ci simply scolded: "What kind of scholars are they? To put it bluntly, aren't they just craftsmen? According to the truth, they are all lowly. If they can have a residence at the foot of the emperor, will they still respect the noble and the humble and follow the laws of heaven?
If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to conquer the country!"
Lin San paused, and then said: "I also heard that it might be possible to arrange something for the female family members to do, so that they don't have to be humble and wait on others. Isn't that great!"
"have."
The third child?
The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more it made sense, "What about the second brother? What about the people on the King of Han's side?"
No money can be given out, no land can be given, and His Majesty's nonsense must be stopped.
"I saw it. Actually, it's not surprising. There are emperors and grandsons in the school. This is King Zhao's business. It's natural for His Majesty to come and take a look. But I didn't expect that Your Majesty actually loves the people like his own son and can help poor people like us.
When one thinks about it, he is really a good emperor."
Zhu Gaochi was extremely dissatisfied, and Zhu Gaosui chuckled lightly, "Brother, I should have asked you to ask for advice humbly, but because of your ignorance and fearlessness, I will tell you first. It won't be too late for you to thank me later."
If you want to surpass your father, you can only look at these new gadgets.
Zhu Gaosui?
What does he know!
Song Li, the Minister of Rites, also sighed, "I just came out of a private school. I only studied for a year. I don't even understand the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. I actually entered the hall and built a house outside the Jubao Gate. There are so many scholars in the world, but they have lived in poverty for ten years and have bright heads."
I am so poor that I have gained nothing. If this continues, it will chill people’s hearts.”
For a province as prosperous as Zhejiang, that's 2.8 million shi.
"There's an extra chair? Where is it?"
Tang Saier was stunned and couldn't help but said: "If this is really the case, I, I will also recognize him as a good emperor!"
"It's the same, but there are mostly weavers there, and the income is lower. Maybe they can build a house for several people to live together. In short, if the court wants to collect taxes and enrich the country and the people, it must first solve the worries of the people and let them live together.
They live and work in peace and contentment."
The courtiers encouraged each other, kept cheering, and thought of all ways to oppose this matter...
…
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Cousin, I just can't understand why the courtiers always oppose your proposal... Should you worship the Bodhisattva, or see if there is anything in this room?
Is it wrong? How about inviting Master Yao to come over and hold a Dharma conference for you."
Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded and said: "Very good, this proposal is great. You can draw up a detailed strategy and submit it as soon as possible. We will try to implement it within the year and let them live in a new house next year."
Passing by a roast duck shop, he bought a quarter of a roast duck and went back with a smile.
Moreover, if these people can feel at ease, they will definitely be able to do better work. This is a very good suggestion.
Song Li gritted his teeth and said: "As the Minister of Rites, for the sake of the rules of etiquette, I have fought hard to get rid of this black gauze hat, and I cannot let this kind of chaos... Sir, we cannot retreat."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's easy. Let them register and make a small business every month. If it becomes big, they will pay taxes according to the normal rules. They are starting from scratch, which is much easier than other places.
"
Several ministers quickly reached a consensus on Daming Pills.
Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "Boss, if you can't even figure this out, you'd better go to school and study with your eldest nephew."
Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help thinking. Before Jingnan, one tael of silver could buy almost two shi of japonica rice, and 300,000 taels of silver could buy 600,000 shi of grain.
Zhu Gaochi was startled and had not yet reacted.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu hummed: "Boss, get out quickly. Without your interference, our chances of winning will be greater."
Zhu Di thought about it and found that there was no shortage of land outside the Jubao Gate.
The four prefectures in Susongchang Town had the heaviest taxation in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Suzhou had the largest amount of more than 2 million shi, and Songjiang Prefecture had about 1.2 million shi... Taken together, these two prefectures are far better than many provinces.
.
Zhu Di was secretly thinking... On the other side, Lin San was excited and couldn't wait to return to his residence after work.
The traditional methods of governing the country, including civil and military skills, have been reached to the extreme by my father.
Tang Saier was startled again and couldn't help but said: "Third brother, his soldiers are killing people in Shandong. Without him, we wouldn't be homeless in Yingtian."
At Xu Jingchang's side of Dingguo Palace, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui were all present, as well as Wu Shan. He was serving tea and water and serving the four of them, and he was quite skilled at his business.
"I knew it, I knew it a long time ago! Xu Jingchang is just a bully! He makes excuses and makes things out of nothing. If he is allowed to continue, he will break the truth," Xia Yuanji said angrily.
This time Xu Jingchang answered simply, "Your Majesty, to put it bluntly, their difficulties are that they have no fixed place to live, their families are involved, and they cannot work with peace of mind... If we can pick out vacant land and build a group of houses outside Jubao Gate, it doesn't need to be too big.
, it is enough for each household to have two rooms. The price of the house can be lower, or it can be deducted from the monthly salary, so that they can live in it first. As for the family members, especially the female family members, I
It can also be heard that they do not want to come out to do things, but asking them to serve as maids and maids for others will not only be disrespectful, but will also cause trouble. Therefore, an area is designated around the house for them to do so.
Start a small business, wash your hands, set up a small restaurant and a small teahouse. Then arrange for people to patrol and protect you. If you dare to violate the female family members, you will be severely punished!"
Not to mention the other remote and poor provinces.
The courtiers have no choice but to retreat and cannot compromise no matter what.
Wu Shan whispered: "Your Highness, Duke Ding, it's time for you to leave."
"Half of Songjiang Prefecture's tax revenue is equivalent to one year's tax revenue in Gansu and other provinces...it's just a workshop of Lao Er!" Fatty Zhu looked at several people stupidly, his eyes almost falling off.
"This, is this true?"
Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyes forty-five degrees and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zhu Gaosui hummed: "Brother, you know how troublesome it is to collect grain and how much it costs, right? But the second brother's workshop only needs such a large area, and the taxes can be paid in one go. Let me ask you, what do you think?
Why do those people fight with us? Do they have the strength?"
