Chapter 444:Silver Money

Liu Fucheng's stack is not far from the dock.In order to pile up, the area is not small.Because there are more and more customers and merchants in Tianjin, he has made another land-covered inn near the store, which is used to entertain Huang Taiji and his party.This stack is still far away from Tianjin City, and if you want to enter the city, you have to run half an hour in a carriage, and Huang Taiji wants to settle first.

For ease of transport, the stack is close to a tributary of the canal.After the arrival of Huang Taiji pushed open the window can see the dock dozens of meters away.It would be dark, but a torch was lit on the dock, and a row of pulley cranes was working.The hard-working people on the docks hang the goods shipped from the standard wooden box ashore, and a ship can be emptied in a moment.

"These Han people work hard, more than our Nicans."Zhezhe was close to the window, and also looked out, "I see that there are several maids in this inn who are good, good-looking, obedient and sensible."Don’t know what the price is?If it's appropriate, don't buy a few."

In the view of Zhe Zhe, it is a great kind of politeness to be willing to spend money to buy people slaves.Huang Taiji stared at the hard work for a long time, and after reading the whole work flow of the other party, he replied in a low voice: "The Han people here are not the slaves of the family."They are hired, and they work with wages.”

The word hired man is inexplicable to the philosopher, and he has never heard of it.The people around her were either masters or slaves, and no other identity.She looked at Huang Taiji with a gloomy face and hurriedly thought of something interesting and said, “Lord, there is a tofu shop opposite this inn, where the tofu we eat at night comes from.”I just went to see a big house."

Zhezhe had not even eaten tofu in the past, and in the past few days in the Central Plains, Donton was delicious.She especially fell in love with eating tofu, heard that there is a tofu shop nearby, and hurriedly looked at it.

"There are at least a hundred people in that tofu shop, and I have heard that they are busy all day and do not rest late.It is said that it was formed by the merger of several tofu shops, and the "Revolutionary Army" banks gave them loans so large.I see them grinding with cattle, and coal-burning stoves, and big pots.

The strangest thing is that they all wear aprons and masks, and I heard that there are often officials to check the hygiene.I wanted to go in and learn to make tofu, and they couldn’t even say that they were afraid that I had soiled any production lines.Which tofu shop shall we sell, shall we?Then I'll whip them and let them make us tofu."

The ease of saying, like a child who understands nothing is pleasing an adult.Huang Taiji's mind was very confused, thinking about why the heart of this great enemy could be so prosperous?He grunted impatiently, not wanting to speak.The great blessing immediately shrank and did not dare to speak again.

After dinner, Ben was relieved, but Liu Fucheng invited Huang Taiji to visit the night market.He saw that the young man of the Tartar was rich and expensive, and he wanted to make a good ending, and he wanted to show this Tianjin commodity.As long as the other party's desire to buy, he is easy to do business from it.Although Huang Taiji did not feel good in his heart, he still followed the cursive and Gu Yuanwei teachers and disciples to the street.

"This side was originally a wasteland, but the 'Revolutionary Army' came through the canal with too much freight, and had to open it up as a dock."Because of the construction of the dock, the road is also open.Two months ago there was only one street, but now there are three.In the past two months, the price has tripled, and I now regret that I bought too little land.”

Liu Fucheng clearly did not deal with the "Revolutionary Army", but this did not prevent him from introducing Huang Taiji as a landowner, "there are many merchants and more customers on this side of the dock, and there are many supplies, so there are many people living here."There are police on duty at night, there are many people who are willing to go shopping, and the shops are closed very late."

Listening to Liu Fucheng's introduction, Huang Taiji came to a busy street.This is the roadside two rows of shops, only about two or three hundred meters long, but in the eyes of the real woman, the street market on this Chinese lamp is like falling from the sky - under the rule of the real woman, there is only a curfew soldiers and the cold wind in the night, there is no such comfortable and leisure place.

Zhe Zhe liked to go to this street, she begged Huang Taiji a few times, and then waved to the slaves who followed him behind, and rejoiced in the wandering of a shop.Although Huang Taiji himself was not happy, he also smiled at the Valley Yuanwei teacher and apprentice: "You two from the original to my big gold, I don't think I have seen such prosperity for a long time."Don't be restrained tonight, buy something."

The valley said with a nod, laughing and following Huang Taiji into a house.As soon as they entered, the shop two greeted him.At a glance, these extraordinary atmospheres, the store two has not many words, only the guest officer, although to see, the bunker is full of goods, the price is fair and the scene.

Huang Taiji has little understanding of cloth, only knows that the materials in the store are very expensive, not ordinary people can afford it.He was happy to ask the second of the store: "Isn't it that Tianjin's best selling thick cotton cloth?"Why didn’t you see it here?”

The shop smiled and said, “Guest officer, what you are saying is that our handsome man brought the mechanism cloth in Liaodong.”That kind of fabric is really good, solid, soft, cheap, and other homes have not yet sold.As soon as the mechanism was listed, the earth cloth brought by Songjiang Province was dried up, and the people loved to buy that kind of fabric.

We now sell cotton cloth as much as how to be better than the mechanism cloth.That’s great, the guy is really good.So we are all silk materials here, or printed color cloth.Now there are more and more rich people in Tianjin, and noble people like you have to say a few silk silks.You said it, right?”

The second of the shop said that they brought some of the best silk and satin in the store, and Huang Taiji reached out and felt really good.He asked for the price and sighed, "It's still cheap."

Huang Taiji said "cheap" in his mouth, but in his heart, he was scolding the promotions.The latter buy a lot of real women's land of goods, cloth is inevitable.This silk material directly increased the price of ten times, which is really a big profit.

The shop did not know its intention, only when the guest officer was satisfied, so he said hurriedly: "Now there is no tooth merchant, the water transport is also convenient along the way, there are fewer gangsters in the place, and it is much more convenient to do business than in the past."So this Tianjin is at least 20% cheaper than anywhere else.”

"I heard you're taxed."Huang Taiji has read the newspaper of the "Revolutionary Army" and is not ignorant of the Tianjin thing.The newspaper will reflect the folk facts, Zhou Qingfeng's strength makes him not mind to expose the problem publicly.

The shop two hurriedly laughed awkwardly, secretly glanced in the direction of the treasurer, lowered his voice and said: "Our shopkeeper naturally feels that it is best not to pay taxes."But if you don't pay any tax, it will become the appearance of the old Da Ming government.Not paying taxes, you can spend more money in secret.But this cannot be said to us by the treasurer, and the treasurer does not accept this."

“How much tax can you pay in a month?”Huang Taiji asked.

“The day before today, the newspaper said that the first month of the establishment of the Inland Revenue Department, more than 30,000 silver dollars were collected.”The shop two said.

More than 30,000 silver dollars does not sound like much, about 20,000 or two silver.

The second of the store continued: "The newspaper also said that the tax bureau said that it would fully roll out the tax work in the Tianjin area, and also prepare an independent tax police to ensure that the commander received enough tax construction."By the end of the year, the monthly tax will be increased to 300,000 yuan.The new tax chief also said that anyone who dares not pay taxes will face an unrecrupulous crackdown by the tax police.”

The second shop also secretly found a recent newspaper, "guest officials can see this latest issue of the "Revolutionary Times"?The above shouted words are fierce, we have a headache these two days.What used to be a fool of a few silver coins, but now a great sum of silver dollars is to be handed over.”

Huang Taiji did not feel what ferocity, and could the murderer still kill him?He only felt the tax collection ability of the "Revolutionary Army" tax bureau, 300,000 silver dollars a month, a year is not nearly four million silver dollars?This is just a place in Tianjin.If the "revolutionary army" occupied a larger area, would they not be rich in oil?

In the early part of the calendar year, Zhang Ju was engaged in the fiscal reform of the "one whip" law, which greatly improved its financial situation by renewing his tax collection.The tax rate in a year is only more than two million, and it is equivalent to more than three million silver dollars.Even if it is the end of the dynasty plus Liao, practice, pay, only 15 million silver, but collect taxes to the whole country rebellion.

The "Revolutionary Army" in the district of a Tianjin to collect millions of silver, the people here will not rebel?

Huang Taiji looked at the newspaper again and found that the "Revolutionary Army" not only collected taxes in Tianjin, but also in Liaonan and Dengzhou.Liaonan's business is not very developed, but Dengzhou side of the business with the whole Shandong, last month even more taxes than Tianjin.The article finally expects the total annual tax revenue next year to be more than 10 million yuan, and praises this is the ability of the commander to rule the world.

Newspapers also openly printed a tax-harvesting advertisement—only death and tax payment were inevitable.Whoever does not pay taxes to the boss, we will let him die.

Vomiting blood... this is so hard to say that you want money to die naked!

The real woman searched the whole Liaodong again, and has only now recovered about 10 million two silver.But this is a one-time income, follow-up do not expect, and then want to make money can only continue to go out to steal.But now facing the mountain customs risk of blocking, they want to rob no place to grab.

"Tianjin is prosperous here, if you can get this place is good."Huang Taiji, who is actually quite smart, can appreciate the vitality of the vigorous development of the "revolutionary army", and also know that the same Han people, the Ming army is good to fight, "revolutionary army" is not good to fight.

Thinking deeply, Huang Taiji can find out the way out of nothing more than two.Either bypassing Mongolia like a Jinshang to attack Gyeonggi, or break through the mountain customs and kill the flower world of the Han people.But Huang Taiji was at the bottom of the four Baylors, and the power was the smallest.Now the entire female military group is immersed in the joy of occupying the entire Liaodong, and there is no desire for external plunder.

Huang Taiji thought of the stunned, he listened to the shop two around him and asked, "Does the guest officer want a few silks?", he asked: "You can read?"

The shop boy smiled shyly: "The first small graduate, it is easier to find work."When I save a little more money, I have to go to school for a year or two, and I will finish the high school, and the monthly salary can be doubled.Mr. President, what is the matter with your face?Sick?"

“Nothing.”Huang Taiji only found that this kind of servant-like shop two could even understand the newspaper, which was not very happy.Just like seeing dozens of strong men during the day, they are working hard, and they feel absurd and unacceptable.He waved his hand, "I'll take all these silks."

Huang Taiji was sulking, and he heard that the valley of Yuanwei was saying to his apprentice Yang Jian: "Student, these cloths are of good color, let the store pack it."

“Okay, I’ll call the store two.But Master, can you borrow dozens of dollars first?The disciples also felt that these cloths were very good, and wanted to sell a few horses and go back to make clothes."Yang Jian said, "It's easy to make the store pack, the key is that I don't have silver."

"Master has kept you for so many years, and he never wanted you to honor you, but now you still come and ask Master for silver?"

"Master, it is not that I do not honor your old man, I really have no money."

"The sweat is divided among your Chuang Tzu, servant, and there is a lot of gold and silver, how can you not have money?"Your current status is not unusual, but also the amount of the big gold country, dozens of two silver can not take out, shame is not ashamed?"

“Master, you know that my family is very fierce.She knew I was coming out this time, but I didn’t give a piece of silver or two.Master, you lend me a little first, I will buy a few flowers and go back to make me happy, and immediately return to you.You look good at these cloth even if it is mine, buy back just filial piety.You are also attached to the amount of money, the point is that you have to lend me a point first."

Yang Jane's eyes were looking at the valley.After watching it for half a day, Gu Yuanwei's old face was red, and he sighed back: "Master, I have no money."

The two of them, eyes.

The collapse of the Ming Dynasty was actually the economic collapse.Government taxes are handed over to local dignitaries, who often hold grass-roots positions for generations to form official squires.If they collect one or two silver coins for the government, they will collect one or two “fire consumptions” for themselves.Since the Ming Dynasty was actually an agricultural country, farmers at the grass-roots level were bankrupted, and the country was finished.
