"Brother Bo Yu, this time the emperor gave you a thousand acres of land, why not take it?"

Ma Jiyuan is, after all, one of Zhu Hongsan's patriarchs, and now although he is exempted from office, Zhu Hongsan is still good for Ma Ziyuan, and when he left Nanjing, he was given a thousand acres of land for old age.

"Bookfield, where do I still have a face back to Wuchang to go to that thousand acres of land?"Now Wuchangma family occupies 100,000 acres of land, although most of them are in the hands of Zhongyu, but the old man's heart is also ashamed of his hometown father!"

“Where is Brother Bo Yu going to go back this time?”

Ma Jiyuan's hometown is in Wuchang, but this time Ma Ziyuan did not take the Yangtze River waterway, but took his family and servants to the southern gate.

"Bookfield, the old man left home since childhood, to say the truth about the hometown what they do not remember, this time the old man is ready to go to Ningguofu, after all, the old man lived there for more than ten years!"

Ma Ziyuan's uncle had no son, only two daughters, so when Mazi was young, his father Ma Guoxiang passed him over to the big brother Ma Guoan.At that time, Ma Guoan was working as a county order in Nanling County of Ningguo Province, and then promoted to the promotion and knowledge of the government, so Ma Jiyuan spent the best childhood in Ningguo Province, so this time he was not ready to return to Wuchang, but went to Ningguo Province for old age.

Fang listened to Ma Jiyuan nod his head in this way every year, no longer speaking, but bid farewell to Mazi Yuan.

Fang and Ma Jiyuan separated back to the city, just arrived at the thousand-step corridor's own office, saw the tax department's book office to come to him.

"Mr. Shang Shu, Wang Ge sent people to come to you many times, saying that Yuanxian held an economic work meeting, so that the three ministries of finance, taxation, and civil affairs, Shang Shu waiter, went to the meeting."The sergeant and the maids in the ministry are gone!”

This cabinet adjustment, the new team to take the stage naturally to have a new weather, as Ma Jiyuan's year was originally the logistics department's waiter, Ma Mingyuan in order to buy the apocalypse two years of the society, deliberately transferred the Fang to the tax department for the year to serve as the job.

The Ministry of Taxation, as the name implies, is taxed, and there are 15 provincial Qingling Departments under the jurisdiction of 15 provinces, as well as five customs departments in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Luzon, and the rights are very heavy.Because the tax department comes from the former household department, the book has always been the Ministry of Finance's still book Chen Zilong, and now in order to buy people's hearts, Ma Mingyuan handed over this important position to Fang Ying.

Fang went to Ma Jiyuan today, and the director of the cabinet Wang Yunchang sued the holiday, and now heard that the first auxiliary Ma Mingyuan to find their own affairs, quickly put on the official robe, rushed to the cabinet office of the thousand-step corridor.

The cabinet entered the courtyard of the thousand-step corridor near Hongwu Gate, opposite the military organs such as the governor of the five armies.The cabinet occupies a small area, only three small buildings, the first is the office of the cabinet office, the second is the office of the cabinet of six deputy prime ministers, the last is the office of the Prime Minister Ma Mingyuan and a small conference room.

The meeting has begun when Fang arrived every year, but it has not yet been the turn of the tax department to report, and the Ministry of Finance's book Chen Zilong is talking.

Fang coughed at the door every year, then walked into the conference room and said, “Zheng Fu, Wang Ge old, the official is late, please forgive me!”

Ma Mingyuan nodded and said, “Brother Shuda, please sit down, what has been said to me by Wang Ge?”Ma Mingyuan did not say that Fang took a leave of absence every year, after all, it was wrong to not send his brother as a brother.

Fang did not break every year, bowed to the courtesy, and then went to Chen Zilong, slightly bowed to the colleagues around him, and sat in his own position.

Chen Zilong was just interrupted by Fang's annual report, he looked at Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan said: "People please continue to talk!"

“Yes, the aid!Just now the official said that the state inventory of silver 5.68 million, but are Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces to break the silver, equivalent to the kuppin silver is 517 million, this is the current money, how to use two adults to decide it!"

Ma Ming knew this figure long ago that although he did not care about the finance, the Ministry of Finance was his old nest, and the news was still very well-informed.

"Old Wang Ge, Chen Shangshi, now your majesty is about to fall, we must ensure the production progress of the arsenals around the country."The old side of the company has told the officer many times that the logistics department has been in arrears for three months, and the Ministry of Finance will allocate these three months of wages to the logistics department tomorrow!"

"Yuan auxiliary, three months of the table is two million two, so the treasury is left three million two, at the end of the year to send this half a year of the table, need three hundred and seventy-two, the gap of silver?"

"People do not have to worry, before the end of the year, those copy the family's property can be in place, it is estimated that there can be more than one million two!"And the Mint has been reopened, and the Kupin silver in the treasury is immediately suppressed into silver dollars, and all future expenditures are settled in silver dollars!"

Daming treasury stipulates that the national treasury silver silver content of quintet is quintet, but Zhu Hongsan engaged in the silver dollar contains only eight-seven percent, so a silver coin earns eight cents a profit, the treasury of 5.17 million kuppin silver immediately becomes five million eighteen hundred thousand silver dollars, making money is not faster than this.This is only the profit of the mint, and it is not yet the difference in the exchange of silver dollars.

A silver dollar price of one or two, official bank silver one or two, but know that Kuping silver is impurities, so one or two five points of bank silver can be exchanged for a silver dollar, the extra five points is fire consumption.This is also the national treasury of the Ku Ping Bank, if it is sent from all over the country's tax fire consumption is higher.Guangzhou because it is a big trading port, so Guangzhou's silver two impurities are a lot, fire consumption to receive a maximum of one or seven cents, so Zhu Hongsan to implement the silver dollar is really a big profit.

According to the theory of market economy, Daming, a silver coin with not high silver, will surely depreciate after the issuance, but Ma Mingyuan four years ago has the foresight of silver dollars and white sugar, fine salt binding, using state power to force the white sugar produced in Leizhou to five silver dollars a pound, refined salt for one silver dollar a pound.

Because the production of white sugar and refined salt in Leizhou is so large, and also has a technical monopoly, other salt farms and sugar factories can not produce so white sugar and salt, so the value of silver dollar linked to white sugar and salt is very stable, and even reached a silver dollar for one or two or seven dollars in the south.In the distant interior, such as Sichuan and Shaanxi, where traffic is inconvenient, because of the high price of white sugar and salt, the silver dollar for silver has reached one to two to two or five.

In fact, the current financial situation of the Shenwu Dynasty is not as bad as Chen Zilong said at the meeting, as if it were about to close down.Now because of the end of the Thirty Years War in Europe, there are more silver imports than in previous years, and the silver is about to be devalued, so the business in Guangdong is not as much as Chen Zilong said that taxes are going bankrupt.

During the calendar year, capitalism germinated in Jiangnan, and private commerce was greatly developed, and the demand for money increased significantly.The copper coins are not as good as silver in terms of currency value and quantity, so a large number of overseas silver flows into Daming, the climax of this flow reached more than 2 million yuan per year.

However, with the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War in Europe in 1616, because Spain, in order to participate in the war, all the silver produced in the Americas was brought back to the host country for war.The amount of silver flowing into China has become less, and in the end it is even more.

There is less silver flowing into China, but the big Ming side has encountered chaos, and the already stretched fiscal is even worse.If Daming implements the dollar currency system at this time, it can persist, but the silver system is implemented by Daming, that is, the weight of precious metals is used as the currency.In this way, the state has no right to monitor the currency, and the Chinese still have the habit of saving, and a large amount of silver is buried in their own yard and flowerbed.

At this time, Da Ming passed the reform of Zhang Juzheng, did not collect physical taxes, and became silver two, and at first, because there were many private silver, it was still possible to collect five or six million items per year during the calendar year.However, in the year of Chongchen, because of the fall of Wei Zhongxian, there was no one to get money from the emperor from the extra channels, and only money was being given from the people.

At this time, because the flow of silver from the people was reduced, the people did not have to pay taxes, the merger of private land was serious, and the king everywhere occupied a large amount of land, etc., the original plan of Chongchen for three years was to collect seven hundred, eighty-seven thousand silver, and finally only 920,000 silver was collected.

Such a large country has only 920,000 silver income, naturally to come up with things, after those displaced people, what is natural.

Daming's country was finished, but the luck of the Qing Dynasty was really good, and the end of the Thirty Years' War in Europe in 16*48, and the silver of the Americas began to flow back to Daming in the second year, at this time the Manchu has occupied the richest southern zhizhi, with money and food, which can support the suppression of the anti-insurrection forces of Nanming and various places in Manqing.

However, the good luck of this time and space is occupied by Zhu Hongsan, because Zhu Hongsan himself owns a large number of comptoirs and factories, and the profits generated by these factories are not included in the national tax, so the current situation is not as serious as Chen Zilong said.

Ma Ming was far from finance, naturally knew what the real situation was, but at that time, in order to return to the position of the first aid, there was no way to say that the financial situation was extremely serious, as if tomorrow was about to break up, which pushed Maji far away from the position of the first auxiliary.

Fang was a well-known government a year ago, or understand some money law, but his kind of self-taught vocational education, which can be compared with Ma Mingyuan such undergraduates?Fang sat on the side listening to Ma Mingyuan and talk about the law of silver dollars, while listening to the admiration of the heart.

Fang looked down on Ma Mingyuan very much before, thinking that he was just a book student, and with the emperor early, he occupied a good position in the DPRK early, and if he was given a county, he might govern less than himself.But today, when Ma Mingyuan talked about currency reform here, he found that Ma Mingyuan is really unique in terms of finance, but he can't compare himself.
