Song Zhong looked at Da Shang who was constantly entering in front of him, his eyes almost narrowed his smile.
Unlike later generations, in the Ming Dynasty, rich people really hide their ties and are extremely low-key.
With the restrictions on the Ming Dynasty's clothing system, there is no way to see what is worn on gold and silver, and the luxurious clothes are all.
Just like the shopkeepers I just entered, they only have a restaurant in charge on weekdays. On weekdays, they are wearing a piece of garment and smile when they see anyone. Even ordinary people can drink wine. A few sentences.
I didn't see any abnormal reaction, but I greeted him with a smile on my face.
It is very difficult for the Jinyiwei to investigate these things. It is impossible to really investigate everyone in the capital. Not only does this workload, it is not very meaningful.
Now, it's much easier.
Song Zhong also knew that most of these shopkeepers were on the surface, and there must be someone behind them that had not come out, but it doesn't matter. Follow the clues, at least this vine was found.
"Your Highness the Grandpa's move is really instantly. You can make some money in the capital. What you want is fame. Now that Zhengyang Avenue is renovated, the houses on both sides are sky-high, which is equivalent to the signboard."
"If there are no shops on both sides of this avenue, who dares to say that he is quite famous?"
Song Zhong's own feelings.
When it comes to making money, who can compare with His Royal Highness the Grand Prince? Song Zhong felt extremely comfortable when he touched his new clothes.
As the dynasty is approaching, the Jinyiwei will all pay an extra month of salary. As a reward for the New Year, other benefits will remain unchanged.
This made everyone very energetic and wanted to deal with some case to repay His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.
"Boss, I heard that the superiors were interested in arranging a batch of special funds in the first year, but this is the case."
A Qianhu asked with a happy mood when he saw the Song Zhenfu Envoy.
As soon as the news came out in the Jinyiwei yamen, it spread quickly and immediately. The brothers were very excited when they heard it.
In fact, the Jinyiwei had funding before, but the amount was relatively tight.
Now His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty takes action, can that feel the same?
"The period of funding will make the brothers feel at ease. Since His Royal Highness the Grand Prince opened this mouth, we will never be vague. Our Jinyiwei is originally the loyal confidant of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince and will not treat his brothers badly."
Song Zhong said with a big bag.
The reason why he dared to say this is that Taisun’s arrangement has been in place, with a total of 2 million pounds of special funds next year for expenses.
The biggest subsidy here lies in intelligence and pensions.
There is almost no money for the information going forward, but now it will be re-listed to several levels, with high-level information said to be worth thousands of chunks.
Thinking about this, Song Zhong's smile became stronger.
"With the words of Song Zhenfu, our brothers will be relieved. If the brothers below ask about this, they will have an explanation so that they will avoid being dazed all day and thinking about this matter every day."
"The boss doesn't know. Now the brothers below are almost at the same time as the treatment of ordinary soldiers is approaching us, and they feel a little unbalanced."
Qianhu next to him said.
Originally, the treatment of the Jinyiwei was the highest among the entire Mingwei Institute. The only one that could be compared with was Xiaolingwei.
Now, because of His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty, the treatment of the capital garrison has skyrocketed.
The Xuanjia Guard is no match. It is the direct guard of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, and even the naming is from His Royal Highness the Grand Prince himself.
But the treatment of other garages is getting better and better.
Not to mention three meals a day, it also has big fish and meat. It’s like going to a restaurant every day. It’s really a fairy day.
What's the point of being harder and tired, who can relax?
Besides, the Jinyiwei himself does things that offend people, and he suffers grievances from time to time, and does a lot of dirty and tiring work.
"Looking back, I explained to my brothers clearly that everyone has the benefits before the New Year. This is the consideration of His Royal Highness the Grandpa, and I also understand that everyone has worked hard for a year. But after the New Year, the entire Jinyiwei will be undergoing an assessment.
.”
"The content of the assessment is unknown, but if the person who fails the assessment, he will not mention the Jinyiwei, he will be directly transferred to the bottom level, and many benefits cannot be enjoyed."
Speaking of this, Song Zhong paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Even if you wait, you should not take it with you when you go back."
"Including this official, you must also pass the assessment."
Hearing this, thousands of households and hundreds of households became a little nervous.
But when I turned around, I found that Taisun was still very reliable.
It is conceivable that in this assessment, some brothers from the Jinyiwei will definitely be defeated, but His Royal Highness the Grandpa is benevolent and righteous. This assessment was not implemented before the New Year, but was implemented after the New Year.
Let the brothers of the Jinyiwei, regardless of the assessment results, at least this year's benefits can be reached by themselves.
......
"DaSun, your method is really good. In this way, the background of these big merchants can be quickly understood."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Ying with a smile.
It does not mean that these merchants must be executed, but that they are under the surveillance of the Ming government, so many things will be easier to handle.
Zhu Yuanzhang never underestimated businessmen. It was precisely because of his fear of businessmen and his lack of knowledge about business that he stepped up efforts to suppress businessmen.
Now with Dasun’s path, Zhu Yuanzhang felt the benefits of being proficient in business. A large amount of money and materials began to gather towards the capital under the arrangement of Dasun step by step.
The Ministry of Revenue, the treasury, and the money has been collected more and more.
Because the British Chamber of Commerce pays all taxes on time, the Ministry of Revenue only increases the commercial tax by at least tens of thousands of jin per month from the Jinying Chamber of Commerce in the Beijing.
In the capital alone, the Ministry of Revenue can currently provide 2 million stakes of treasure money to the Ministry of Revenue every year.
This has to be how many problems to be solved.
The most important thing is that the house on Zhengyang Avenue has not yet started to be built, and several factories of Dasun are still being prepared due to winter.
It is conceivable that when the factory was opened, there were more taxes here.
When paying taxes, Zhu Ying never made taxes missing as his grandson. Instead, he checked them strictly and had to pay in full, and it was not enough to lack a copper coin.
It is also because of the actions of the Chamber of Commerce of the National Federation of Trade and Economics that other chambers of Commerce complained.
In this way, many routines that have been used can no longer be used. No matter what, they have to pay more than before.
Every time the tax is paid, the businessmen feel bloody in their hearts.
Even if there is one more copper plate, this is something that I could have escaped easily before.
The government has also begun to pay great attention to the commercial taxation area, and it is much more difficult for ordinary businessmen to avoid taxes.
What legal tax avoidance does not exist.
No matter what your reasons are, you have to pay a certain amount of tax to pass.
After all, generally speaking, tax officials don’t care about so many, and they are too lazy to argue.
If you don’t pay, it’s not OK.
"Grandpa, there is no problem in business at present. The most important thing is that these literati have the wrong ideas of doing school secretly."
Zhu Ying said in a deep voice.
He has received news that the matter about the school has been spread all over the place and there has been a great sense of resistance.
Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully: "That is the idiots in the Hanlin Academy who can do anything. Their actions have been recorded in the file by the Jinyiwei. We have read it, so we can't cause any storms."
Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "Nothing happened in the capital yet, but I have just received the news that someone has thoroughly analyzed the matter about the school and passed it around through the merchant channels."
"After the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid that local resistance has been formed, and it is difficult to promote development."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "But the news that anyone had found out was that the Jinyiwei was useless at all. He didn't even know this news."
Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "The Jinyiwei inspectors have rarely touched the businessmen. The initial spread of this news was within the merchant gang."
"But there are no pure businessmen these days, and it is roughly the literati who are later controlled. Many talents in the family may not have retired now, so it is difficult to find them."
"There are many smart people. But my grandson never thought of getting on with it just by hiding it."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Anyone with a slight view of the overall situation can see the tricks. Even if the matter in the court is suppressed, it is difficult to avoid being spread to the outside world.
It's just courtiers or many scruples.
"Da Sun has thought of a countermeasure." Zhu Yuanzhang asked then.
Zhu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "There is no good way to break the situation in this situation. You can only suppress it with a grand and righteous way and then proceed slowly."
It is impossible to completely change the way of seeking scholars in the Ming Dynasty at once.
This requires that it will definitely deteriorate after arriving at the place.
Even Zhu Ying himself cannot guarantee whether the people of the Chamber of Commerce will be infiltrated. Moreover, the leaders of many branches in local chambers of commerce have already begun to make small moves in secret.
In this area, self-inspection can only be the main focus.
Fortunately, although the Chamber of Commerce is affiliated with Zhu Ying, it is strictly considered a Royal Chamber of Commerce, but he has not been cleared for one day, and the Chamber of Commerce of the Heroes in the same day, but the backend is very large.
The concepts and many rules in this are different.
If it is a formal name, the Chamber of Commerce of the British will be equivalent to the concept of a state-owned enterprise, and its members are also organized, which is no different from officials. Now it is a big deal. Those shopkeepers are still businessmen, and at least they cannot interfere with the government.
Even though he is not as despised as other businessmen because of the Chamber of Commerce, he is at least respected on the surface.
This is also a limit, a limit that Zhu Ying feels.
He didn't want the status of a businessman to be too low, but he would never make the status of a businessman too high, or even higher than the local government itself. In internal punishments, using power for personal gain is often severely punished according to the law.
The confiscated property can be obtained by the whistleblower except for filling in the corruption income.
Such a system makes it inevitable that those in charge of the upper class, such as local branches, should be more careful when doing things.
However, in this regard, the same crime is accused of false accusation.
New Year's Eve.
When it was a little dawn, the originally hot capital seemed to be ignited in this cold winter.
On the streets, people came and went, bustling, walking side by side.
Even the poorest people wore clean and tidy clothes.
The Spring Festival is a major festival for all Central Plains ethnic groups.
Not only Han people, but also all the Central Plains dynasties belong to.
The Ming Dynasty was the first multi-ethnic unity dynasty.
Mongols, Jurchens, Khitans, Hans, Turks, Semu people and other ethnic groups are very common in the capital.
Even Persians, Arabs, or even people from farther places are not uncommon.
This is the Ming Dynasty, and this is the capital of the Central Plains dynasty.
When her potential was discovered and effectively controlled, people were surprised to find out.
It turns out that our capital is so prosperous.
The houses on both sides of Zhengyangmen and Waiwulong Square have long been notified by the government to demolish them.
But that was after the New Year.
The store here belongs to the land deed and has received sufficient compensation. In this world, it is really very important.
Everyone praises the court's kindness.
As for any nail owner, the price of the land is not there, and it is impossible to exist.
No matter if you are a child of seventy years old, or three years old, you want to raise a price on the ground, block it, break your legs and throw it out, and you won't even get the mercy of others.
Nowadays, in front of the shops on both sides, there are painters painting. In the era when there is no camera, I can only paint if I want to keep my nostalgia.
Many of these shops, which are considered prime locations, were controlled by the locals in Nanjing and were not forcibly collected due to Zhu Yuanzhang's generous manner when he entered the city at that time.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang had already designated this place as the capital at that time, and did not want to make the people resent, he mainly focused on appeasement after the war. When Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he had long been determined to recognize the Mongol Yuan as the orthodox of the Central Plains dynasty.
Of course, I will not indulge my subordinates in a clever way to take advantage of the situation.
These Nanjing people have special emotions about the shop.
After the first company to hire painters to paint, shopkeepers from other companies began to hire painters everywhere, which made the painter industry suddenly become popular.
"Why do you, the Western Arts painter, have more than one hundred essays than our Ming Dynasty painters?"
"Do you know that an ordinary painter has only a few dozen papers. Today is a good day. If you want to be perfect, you will have 100 papers. You still want 200 papers. I really think that this shopkeeper is easy to bully."
There was a dispute in front of a shop.
It turned out to be a Western barbarian who carried a tool that seemed to be painting and recommended himself, saying that he could draw, but the price was 100 cents higher than others.
The Westerners watched more and more people watching. Not only were they not afraid, but they were a little lustful. They replied in fluent and a little accent: "Sir, you can take a look at the painting I made first.
”
"If you are not satisfied, you will not take any penny. If you are satisfied, you will pay according to my price. Can you?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was crowded, he wanted to be more lively at the door of his shop. Is this just worth a hundred people? He nodded and replied, "Okay, just do what you said."
When the Western Yi painter heard this, he bowed to the surrounding melon-eating crowd in a somewhat inappropriate manner and said, "I would like to ask all the elders and fellow villagers to be a witness."
There was a sudden burst of applause from the crowd.
Everyone wants to see how the paintings of Western Yi painters are different from those of Ming painters. They are so mysterious.
Western Yi painters confidently set up easels, which was not much different from those of Ming painters.
Paper is the paper of the Ming Dynasty, but the pen is not the pen of the Ming Dynasty.
"How come this Western barbarian painted a piece of charcoal? It's really strange."
"Will this carbonite painting burn itself after a while? Can it perform a trick or something for us?"
"Look, look."
As the crowd around, the Western Yi painter quickly began to draw on paper with charcoal.
