In less than two days, the taxes of the entire Yangzhou City were completely settled.
For a moment, Wang Jin was in the limelight!
Wang Jin knew very well that this was not his own credit. It was Huang Taisun who had calculated too well, as if he knew everything.
"The imperial grandson knew what kind of difficulties he would encounter and gave an answer in advance. What a divine foresight!”
Wang Jin thought that those books were most likely written by Huang Taisun.
Wang Jin shook his head. In his heart, he admired Zhu Yunhao even more.
Yangzhou City had received a total of 170,000 taels of silver in taxes. Moreover, the Zhou Clan had confiscated 10,000 taels of silver, so they had a total of 180,000 taels of silver.
Wang Jin was very satisfied. From then on, Wang Jin was like the King of Hell, harvesting in all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
After splitting the work and passing down the method, it only took two months for most of the business taxes to be collected.
The total amount reached more than two million taels of silver!
This silver was used to build warships.
......
It was already December, and it was winter.
The sky was covered with white snow.
At this moment, they still had to attend the morning court session.
Zhu Yunhao looked at the civil and military officials in the court and said,"Now, after the business tax has been increased by ten times, do you know how much silver we have received?”
"We don't know."
"Please speak, Imperial Grandson."
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Yunwen and the others were also sweating.
They had opposed the tax increase with both hands, but in the past two months, good news had been spreading!
It made Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng and the others 'faces hurt very much.
This was quite a slap in the face.
Of course, they still didn't know the exact amount!
"Your Highness, how many do you have?" Lan Yu asked.”
Lan Yu was also a little curious.
The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, was the same.
"Yes, Your Highness, the good news that Lord Wang has recently collected business taxes in the entire Great Ming has spread to everyone, but we still don't know the exact amount.”
Zhu Yunhao nodded, looked at the crowd, and said,""Xuan, Wang Jin."
Soon, Wang Jin, a Rank-6 official and the commander-in-chief of the General Administration of Food, walked into the hall in his court clothes.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
The emperor's grandson lived a thousand years.
Everyone's eyes were on Wang Jin.
They were all curious. When Wang Jin was in Yangzhou City, how exactly did he calculate the accounts?
They knew the Zhou family's case very well!
That was changing the accounts, but the government did not have any accounts to correct before.
"Wang Jin, tell me, how much business tax did you collect this time?"”
Zhu Yunhao looked at Wang Jin and said.
Wang Jin: " Yes, Your Royal Highness. This time, except for a few remote prefectures and counties, the rest have been received. A total of 2.3 million taels of silver."
As soon as Wang Jin said this, it immediately caused everyone to discuss!
"What?! He actually collected more than two million taels of silver. This was nearly thirty times higher than the previous business tax!”
It looked like it had only increased by ten times, but it was actually close to thirty times!
"Isn't this merchant earning too much?”
The imperial grandson was wise! Previously, who was the one who objected to raising the taxes on businesses?
At this moment, it could be said that the civil and military officials were extremely shocked.
He could receive so much tax in one season!
If it was a whole year and four seasons, wouldn't that mean an extra ten million taels of silver?
What kind of concept was this!
That was, during the Hongwu period, due to various tax exemption policies, many places did not actually collect taxes.
And the merchant tax was one in thirty.
The taxes of a country were grain taxes and business taxes, resulting in a total annual tax of about 300 to 4,000,000 taels.
It was pitifully little!
One had to know that during the Song Dynasty, the most one could earn was 160 million taels of silver a year, and there were usually taxes of 80 to 100 million.
During the Qing Dynasty, taxes ranged from 50 to 80 million taels.
In comparison, the millions of taels of silver during the Hongwu period were simply too poor.
Now, because the business tax had been raised to a three-to-one ratio, it actually cost about 10 million taels more!
Wouldn't the total amount reach about 15 million taels?
In total, it was equivalent to three to four times the amount.
As for the grain tax, there was no other way. The Ming Dynasty was really good to the common people, and the grain tax was indeed low.
How could these ministers not be happy?
Wouldn't that mean that he wouldn't owe his salary?
As a result, many people looked at the imperial grandson with gratitude!
Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and the others 'faces turned yellow!
Who was the one who objected to raising taxes?
Wasn't it just these people!
