Seeing Gao Hanwen's hesitation, Hai Rui gave some faint words of admonishment many times.
The reason is actually very simple. Judging from the central government’s support for rent-to-buy this time, there is still a wise emperor in the court. If we don’t make an effort at this time, it will be difficult to change the course later.
But it was really hard for Gao Hanwen to tell the truth to Hai Rui. The old Taoist priest Mingjun Jiajing whom you have believed in for decades is actually a scumbag.
Hey, although the communication between the two parties was not very smooth, it was still open and honest.
In addition, I learned from Hai Rui that Hu Zongnan's Fujian anti-Japanese war has reached a critical juncture. Some of the money and food allocated by Jiangsu Zhao Zhenji saved during this disaster relief work were directly used to support the anti-Japanese war. Therefore, there was no pause in the war. Basically, the officers and soldiers kept fighting. The main force of the Japanese pirates basically returned to the island to huddle up. There should be a time for another decisive battle at the end of the year or early next year.
Gao Hanwen was still very excited when he heard about the anti-Japanese war. After all, later generations have watched so many anti-Japanese dramas. Although we knew that 70% to 80% of the Japanese pirates were Dan family members from the coast, plus some bandits with ulterior motives. But I still want to see the showdown between China and Japan in this era.
Although Hai Rui introduced some of it, Gao Hanwen had already captured some key information from the frequency of words. First of all, the performance of two generals on the front line is particularly outstanding. One is Qi Jiguang, who has been trained by Hu Zongxian, and the other is Yu Dayou, a guest army seconded from Guangdong. Both generals have their own strategies and tactics. Especially Yu Dayou, whether it is the training of individual soldiers' combat effectiveness or the organization and formation of formations, he does not fall behind in any of them.
After listening to it, Gao Hanwen came back to his senses. The Qi family army that had defeated all the invincible opponents in the north and south in history was just its prototype. Now it is almost Yu Dayou's highlight moment. In particular, Qi Jiguang was close to Hu Zongxian, the second generation of the strict party. If he had not changed his court to work under Zhang Juzheng in history, he would have probably been like Yu Dayou, and became lonely with the change of court.
After listening to the situation on the front line for a while, Gao Hanwen still couldn't figure it out. And it can be predicted that most of the business tax exemptions, Zheng Michang and his second and fifth sons have already mentioned it to the court. At that time, if the court agrees, wouldn't it be good for him to be in trouble? Moreover, this kind of generous behavior does not seem to be something that the cabinet or Jiajing can refuse in their hearts.
After two days of inspection, Gao Hanwen almost understood the true situation of the people in Chun'an County. Fortunately, most of them exchange grain for silver. Otherwise, once gambling becomes popular, you will lose everything within a few days, and renting instead of buying will probably lead to trouble.
Gao Hanwen was secretly happy for a while. After inviting Li Shizhen to come to Hangzhou, he transferred to Jiande County. There are hilly and mountainous areas over there, so you can see if there is anything different.
Jiande County is mostly hilly and mountainous. Even if the traffic remains the same, the difference in accents is still huge. Chun'an County almost has a reliable and stable accent. This is the county town, and it varies from city to city.
After walking around for a while, Gao Hanwen saw various strong laborers pushing wheelbarrows on the street, carrying soil or goods back and forth. this streetNaturally, the surface is not as clean as Chun'an County. When walking on the main road, there was all kinds of dust, and there was mud on the sides of my pants.
The hem of his robe was almost dirty, and Gao Hanwen also consciously led his team to Jiande County Yamen.
"Run Lian" Gao Hanwen felt incredible when he saw the gray-faced man in front of him who had just come in from the yamen gate.
You must know that Wang Yongji was originally from a gentry family. He was originally gentle and well-dressed. He's only been in office for a quarter and he's already looking like a contract worker.
"Master Gao" Wang Yongji quickly said hello.
"Why is it so difficult? Is there something going on in Jiande County?" Gao Hanwen quickly asked with concern.
"Haha, it's nothing. It's just that I read it in the book and knew that I had to practice it. So I went down there and practiced it." Wang Yongji still doesn't care about the hard work, but pays attention to it. Learn more about your own political experience.
It turns out that Jiande County is different from Chun'an. This is a mountainous area, far away from Hangzhou. Originally there were not so many mulberry trees for raising silkworms, so there was no need for so many cicada houses. By converting rice to mulberry this time, Jiande County has gained tens of thousands of acres of mulberry fields.
There are mulberry fields, but there are not enough cicada houses, so they need to be built.
Last month, the gentry in the county also protested for the reduction of business taxes, and not only did they protest, they also brought newly hired long-term and short-term workers with them.
Most of the mountain people are wild. They were originally geographically divided, had different accents, and did not trust each other. The county government officials followed Chun'an County to fight under Qi Jiguang's command in Fujian. They all thought they were going to be used as cannon fodder, and no one went. Come to block the Yamen every day. I had no choice but to agree.
For those who rent mulberry fields, 10% of the rent will be deducted from the commercial tax. At the same time, the commercial tax deducted is not refundable. The gentry must be allowed to do business on their own until they earn enough to pay the commercial tax amount. tax deduction.
In other words, if you just rent mulberry fields and do not engage in other businesses or hire labor, you will not be able to enjoy this business tax deduction.
At the same time, although it is a deduction, it does not require a penny from the government, and it does not affect the county government's commercial tax revenue. This month, the government's commercial tax even increased. It is to learn from Gao Hanwen's idea of renting instead of buying to solve the dilemma of business tax reduction and exemption. Wang Yongji also complimented Gao Hanwen during the conversation. This makes future generations like Gao Hanwen extremely happy. I finally understand why the leader likes these high-level flatterers.
As a result, the gentry in the county formed several engineering teams to build cicada houses everywhere to earn credits to offset commercial taxes.
In fact, there are many new businesses, but this one is the most critical and employs the most people, so I often go to the front line to inspect the entire process from burning brick kilns and mud tiles to building houses.
Just because Jiande is remote and there are no big gentry, the trends here have not yet reached Hangzhou city. Wang Yongji was waiting for the work to come to an end to write down his experience and pass it on in excerpts.
"Building a cicada house is so complicated, and the relationship is more troublesome than living in it." Although Gao Hanwen also raised silkworms in his family in later generations, in my time, ordinary people still lived in small wooden houses.Even in a dilapidated wooden house, this cicada has to live in a brick house, which is too luxurious.
So, after doing some popular science on the growth habits of cicadas, I discovered that it turned out that the spring cicadas missed out on the change from rice to mulberry, and they only had time to dare summer cicadas.
Through this ordeal, Gao Hanwen almost understood how to deal with the gentry's business tax.
At this time, of course, we must learn from the latecomer experience of a certain one of the five permanent members in later generations.
It is said that there was a country in later generations that failed to defeat it before it surrendered. Because it missed the opportunity to enclose land in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, various revolutionary factions allotted solid land to farmers. In this way, they are still rushing to complete the industrial revolution at about the same pace as Britain, where the sun never sets.
This secret killer weapon has been successful in Jiande County, and there is no reason why it cannot be promoted in other parts of the Ming Dynasty.
