Zhu Zhanji didn't stay for long and quickly left.
The next day.
The tax revenue was running smoothly.
The courtiers only heard that the matter had been resolved and that the increase in business tax would be gradually promoted, but they did not know the exact situation.
Every family sent out scouts to gather information, but they all ended up in vain.
Everyone smelled an unusual aura inside and withdrew all their spies at the same time.
For the next few days, the capital was calm and peaceful. Only the Department of Education was bustling with activity every day.
Every time the commoners passed by the Department of Education, they could not help but take a second look, but that was all.
A few days later.
"Your Highness." Xia Yuanji came to report to Zhu Zhanxin about the tax situation.
"Currently, the implementation of the tax is going smoothly. No one is making trouble anymore.”
"In the past few days, we have already begun to implement it in the cities near the capital. Based on their feedback, it has been relatively smooth.”
Zhu Zhanxin nodded. Without any troublemakers, things naturally went smoothly.
After calculating the time, Zhu Zhan asked,""How's the collection in the capital? When will it end?"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhan Xin flipped through the records of the collection of business tax.
"Soon. Even the largest merchants in the capital have paid their taxes. There's only a small portion left. It's expected to end today.”
"If it's fast, tonight. If it's late, tomorrow morning, we'll be able to finish sorting out and tabulating the tax situation in Beijing this time.”
"Good!" Zhu Zhan looked through the entire tax book and found that it had basically reached the amount he had expected.
Zhu Zhan Xin was in a good mood, and his eyes revealed some joy." Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xia."”
Xia Yuanji hurriedly shook his head." No, no, Your Highness has to investigate the case of the commoners causing trouble recently. It's been hard on you."”
"Besides, if it weren't for His Highness 'suggestion, the Imperial Court wouldn't have been able to obtain such a large sum of tax.”
At this point, Xia Yuanji was a little excited." This…This is an unprecedented amount!”
"With this money, the Imperial Court will be able to do more for the people!”
Zhu Zhan Xin smiled. Although he was happy, he was not excited. The taxes in the modern world were much higher than this. There was really nothing to be excited about.
"When the results are out, Lord Xia will report it to Imperial Grandfather.”Zhu Zhan closed the tax book and handed it to Xia Yuanji.
Xia Yuanji was the one who was in charge of the tax collection, so it was reasonable for Xia Yuanji to report back.
Therefore, Xia Yuanji nodded in agreement.
Actually, Zhu Zhan Xin was simply too lazy to waste time on this.
He couldn't do everything. He didn't want to be like Taizu and Zhu Di, exhausted.
A good manager should know how to let his subordinates do the work instead of taking on all the big and small matters. Otherwise, what was the use of raising them?
That afternoon, all the business taxes in the capital were collected.
The Department of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue quickly calculated the total tax revenue of the capital this time.
As time passed, the officials who participated in the statistics became more and more excited.
This amount was simply too huge!
Even though they were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but feel excited when they saw the snow-white silver.
Late at night, the capital's business tax was finally calculated!
Xia Yuanji immediately reported the results to Zhu Di.
He couldn't wait any longer!
Not long after Xia Yuanji's report was submitted, hearty laughter came from Zhu Di's bedroom.
The palace servants guarding outside were all puzzled.
What happened that made His Majesty so happy?
They sighed in their hearts.
The next day, morning court.
Today, all the officials noticed something different.
The Emperor sitting at the head of the table actually made people feel a little happy?
When these words appeared in the hearts of the courtiers, they were shocked by themselves.
It wasn't that Zhu Di wasn't in a good mood in front of the officials, but it was rare. Most of the time, Zhu Di was expressionless or his emotions couldn't be seen clearly. There were a few times when he was happy, but he was rarely so happy.
Moreover, because Zhu Di's aura and murderous aura were too strong, even when Zhu Di was in a good mood, the officials were suppressed by this aura.
It was precisely because of this that the courtiers were shocked when they discovered that Zhu Di was exceptionally happy today.
Only Xia Yuanji, who had reported last night, and Zhu Zhanyu, who had guessed it, were not moved by Zhu Di's change.
Seeing this scene, the officials could vaguely guess what was going on.
As expected.
After the courtiers reported the matter, Zhu Di spoke with a hint of relief," The business tax matter has been going on for so long. The business tax increase in the capital last night has all been calculated.”
With their guesses confirmed, the courtiers were even more curious about how much money the Emperor had received for him to be so happy.
"Xia Qing, tell everyone how much tax money the capital alone has collected.”Knowing that they were curious, Zhu Di waved his hand and asked Xia Yuanji to tell them.
Xia Yuanji couldn't suppress the joy on his face, and his voice was also a little excited." Last night, the officials from the Department of Public Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue increased their calculations. The final result is that the capital collected a total of 9.8 million taels of tax!”
As soon as he said this, the entire court was in an uproar.
9.8 million taels!
It was actually a third of Great Ming's annual tax revenue!
One had to know that even though they had imposed a business tax, the tax rate was lower than that of the Song Dynasty! These merchants paid so readily. Clearly, these taxes were just a drop in the ocean to these merchants.
No wonder His Majesty was so happy!
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. With this, the problem of our Great Ming's treasury being empty has been completely resolved!”
Some officials who reacted quickly stood up to congratulate Zhu Di.
When the other officials saw this, they also congratulated Zhu Di.
"That's right. Just the capital alone has such a huge amount. If it's implemented nationwide, the final tax money will definitely be very considerable!”
"Although the capital is the capital of Great Ming, in terms of economic development, the Jiangnan area is even richer. I believe that after the Jiangnan area implements it, the results will be even more gratifying.”
"The national treasury problem has always been a major problem for Great Ming. Now, congratulations to Your Majesty for being resolved!”
Zhu Di's expression was obviously happy, and he was naturally more satisfied with Zhu Zhanyan, who proposed this policy. He praised him directly without hesitation,"It's all thanks to Zhan Chen's idea. Zhan Chen contributed the most in this matter!”
The ministers understood and praised Zhu Zhanyi.
"The Fifth Imperial Sun is really young and promising!"
"This old minister has been suffering from the emptiness of the national treasury. I didn't expect the Fifth Imperial Sun to be able to solve it in an instant.”
"Although the Fifth Imperial Sun is still young, he is already a pillar of my Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Gaochi, who was beside him, felt proud as he listened. There were basically no more variables in the business tax matter, so he was naturally not as worried as he was when he heard the praise from the officials.
In contrast to Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's expressions were not too good.
