Zhai Xiu also realized this.
He targeted Chu Qing, but Qiu Wanshan didn't seem to want to avoid targeting himself.
Zhai Xiu glanced at Qiu Wanshan in the class with suspicion, and said he was definitely lying if he said he wasn't afraid.
This is the case in the Six-Buy Yamen Office. There is one level difference between You Shilang and Shangshu. This level is a gap that is difficult to cross, but this is the internal government office and is not open to the outside world.
The right assistant minister in the government office must be very respectful to the minister of his own department, but he usually gives face to the ministers of other government offices, but if the fundamental interests of the government office are involved, then he should be blushing or blushing.
Qiu Wanshan's playing rate has been getting higher and higher recently, and his shots are perfect. Zhai Xiu is not afraid, but he is not willing to offend easily, because Qiu Wanshan is messing with people in the court, either to punish him or not, or to make you lose face or to make you lose face. The embarrassment of being thrown into grandma's house. Sometimes this kind of embarrassment is more disturbing than being punished.
But even if he was still worried about Qiu Wanshan, Chu Qing went to court today. Zhai Xiu had to shoot the arrow, and he had to get back the lost face, otherwise he, the Minister of Punishment, would become a joke like Cao Wu.
Pulling himself together and looking at Chu Qing, Zhai Xiu spoke again.
Of course, four of the twelve points of energy are aimed at Chu Qing, and the remaining eight points are to pay attention to Qiu Wanshan. He is always afraid that Lao Qiu will suddenly come out and stab himself with something tactless.
"I don't question Qianqiying's inspection of merchants' taxes and money. This matter was done extremely well. I applaud it. The merchants in the capital should be severely punished."
This is the difference between a minister and a minister, the level is different.
Just like Zhang Songling, the former minister, he was met with disapproval as soon as he opened his mouth and looked condescending. When he looked at Zhai Xiu, it was not appreciation, but approval, because appreciation had a hint of status inequality, and approval was not. .
The conversation changed and Zhai Xiu got to the core.
"Changlu, after all, it is the law of the country. I, the Ministry of Punishment, am also in charge of Changlu. I follow the authority when it is urgent. It is inevitable for Qianqiying to do things expediently. However, it is not appropriate to do this for a long time. At least, I should inform my Ministry of Punishment. One sound."
The implication is that our Ministry of Punishment does not understand arithmetic or taxation for merchants, but we do understand the law.
Your Qianqiying does not rely on Changlu to handle things, and it is indeed good at doing things. But at least you should communicate with us professionals. Don't communicate with merchants and tax banks, but communicate with laws. There is nothing wrong with this.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with him at all. He uses his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. Zhai Xiu no longer wants to argue about merchant taxes and money, but drags Chu Qing to fight in the areas where he is good at it.
Chu Qing was no longer an amateur, so he didn't know what Zhai Xiu was playing. He said in a neither arrogant nor humble voice: "The merchant tax and silver are the responsibility of Jingzhao Mansion and handed over to the Ministry of Accounts. The Ministry of Accounts naturally has the right to make some changes." On the sidelines, I have already discussed this matter with the Ministry of Revenue."
there is always a solution to a problem.
I haven't changed Chang's laws. We just studied it with professionals from the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue can make decisions on this matter and have a close relationship with your Ministry of Punishment.
Zhai Xiu also didn't realize that Chu Qing had quite a lot of experience in "court debate".
Just when he was about to create trouble again, Wei Changfeng came out and said to Chu Qing: "Deputy Commander Chu, today the emperor and his ministers are all here, and they are in the court. Why don't we discuss it."
Chu Qing looked puzzled: "Master Wei..."
Qiu Wanshan also left the class: "Yes, although it is a matter for merchants, it is also related to the country and the people."
Chu Qing stared at the two of them and nodded slightly.
He understood what they meant.
As for the tax and silver reform of merchants, it will be brought to the court sooner or later. Since we have talked about it today, it is better to discuss it directly with the monarch and his ministers, which can be regarded as a good preparation.
"Okay, then why don't you, Mr. Wei, take over the household department first..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Changfeng and Qiu Wanshan both retreated.
Chu Qing looked moved.
The boss and Qiu Wanshan left the stage and the opportunity to themselves. Once the two of them retreat, they will make great achievements in the future, and they and Qianqiying can take charge of it.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Qing nodded heavily to Wei Changfeng and Qiu Wanshan, deeply engraving the friendship between the two in his heart.
Turning around and looking at the emperor on the dragon throne, Chu Qing said loudly: "Businessmen, selling hundreds of things, can make a profit or lose. If you make a profit, ten guan, a hundred guan, a thousand guan, and if you lose, it can be as easy as beating a bamboo basket." Water, if it is heavy, will lead to bankruptcy. Different goods are sold, and the profits are different. According to Chang's law, they are all two out of ten. Only the amount of sales is concerned, not the amount of profit. I think it is inappropriate."
After a pause, Chu Qing continued: "Tax and bank collection should be carried out according to the type of goods. In addition, there should be preferential treatment for merchants."
The emperor did not say a word and could not say anything, but Zhai Xiu frowned: "Merchant, why do you need preferential treatment?"
"Tax deduction policy." Chu Qing explained: "If relatives join the army, they can get tax deductions. If soldiers join the army..."
Zhai Xiu interrupted: "If you join the army in this dynasty, there are corresponding laws to reduce or reduce the corvee."
"No, Mr. Zhai is talking about the common people. Most of the common people have not read books. However, many of the sons of merchants have studied since childhood. It will be different if these people who have studied books join the army."
As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers showed sarcastic smiles.
If you can read and take the imperial examination, who will be a Qiu Ba?
But Zhai Xiu was not like that. He just raised his eyebrows and looked thoughtful.
The same is true for Huang Laosi on the dragon throne.
No one knows better than him that there is an essential difference between those who have read books and those who have not.
Just like the generals of the Ministry of War, it does not mean that those who have not read books cannot fight, but those who have read books and are familiar with the art of war have a much higher chance of winning than generals who have not read books.
Of course, some who do not fit into the category of human beings are not counted, such as Chu Wensheng, who is not highly educated, and Tan Zhongping, the ever-victorious general who cannot read a lot of Chinese characters.
The promotion of military generals is far simpler and rougher than the promotion of civil servants.
Civil servants are promoted based on their conduct, reputation, network, cultural level, etc.
But the army is not so complicated. There is only one way, chop. The more you chop, the more credit you will get, and the faster you will be promoted. Once you are promoted, you will bring more people to chop people, and then chop them up little by little.
The generals of the Ministry of War of Chang Dynasty have always been like this, but it is precisely because of this that the generals of the Ministry of War generally have unsatisfactory cultural standards.
As an emperor who was born as a horse general, Huang Laosi knows better than anyone how much benefit it will bring to the country once the general cultural level of military commanders is improved.
After reading the book, you will have restraints, know the legal principles, understand the art of war, understand the formation of troops, and it will be easier for superiors and subordinates to manage and give orders.
But as the civil servants said, who has been studying since childhood, who would join the army? Why not spend money to find connections and take the imperial examination to pursue civil servants.
"Merchants care about gains and losses the most. They are paying taxes anyway, so why not use tax money to gain a good reputation."
After a pause, Chu Qing gritted his teeth and continued: "There is another kind of tax credit, which is taken from the people and used for the people. If merchants build schools, schools that are only open to poor families and help poor children to study and read, they can also be used as tax credits. Tax!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall buzzed and exploded.
Many ministers looked at Chu Qing as if they were looking at a monster.
Some of his expressions were pensive, some were frightened and uncertain, and most of them were full of anger.
Only Huang Laosi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, tried his best to suppress his ecstasy.
