After the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works talked about their respective difficulties, the other ministries and the Secretary of the Privy Council also combined the facts and talked about their respective difficulties, hoping that Ulutus could do their jobs according to the suggestions in the memorandum.

It has to be said that their opinions did make Ulutus a little difficult. But it was just a difficult problem. After thinking a little bit of tea and looking at the suggestions on the comments, Ulutus had a more complete idea.

First of all, the grain tax cannot be collected. Because according to the government’s government orders for exemption from grain, it is not yet time to collect them. If the government overturns its own government orders, it will damage the credibility of the Ming government. Moreover, the grain tax is related to the vital interests of the farmers in Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult not to arouse their resentment.

Even at the beginning, the Ming government gave them identity, status, land, and the most important way to live. But human nature has always been complicated. If they want them to give up their interests, it is difficult not to arouse their disgust and resistance.

However, although the grain tax cannot be collected, it is not impossible to squeeze out the excess grain from them. According to the initial agreement with the government, all the people who farmed only paid 30% of the rent, which means that 70% of them could be handled by themselves.

This also in disguise increased the purchasing power of the people and promoted the development of commerce in the Republic of China. After all, most people could only rely on acre of three-point land to survive. If the government took less, they could keep a little more. Only by selling the grain can they buy the necessities they needed in the market.

Ulutus's method is to increase the supply on the market and promote the consumption of surplus grains in people's hands. In this way, it can not only collect surplus grains from people's homes, but also promote commercial vitality.

At the same time, the government must follow up simultaneously!

An article published in the Daming Daily explaining the difficulties of the people in the Central Plains, and calling on the people to take out their surplus grains from their families and go to the market to exchange for more commercial goods. In terms of rent collection, the government no longer collects real grains, but converts them into the Mongolian Yuan. This year, for the livelihood of the people in the Han area of ​​the Central Plains, the government will also collect rent in advance.

With the current grain price of 10% higher, there are still benefits for the people. In addition, using the Mongolian Yuan as an equivalent for rent collection can also promote the scope of use of the Mongolian Yuan and increase the people's recognition of the Mongolian Yuan.

This also has obvious benefits for promoting the development of commerce in Ming Dynasty.

If there is a commercial tax, you have to pay it.

However, according to the province, road tax and entry tax are collected. The single transaction cannot be too high. The merchants' acceptance ability must be taken into account. However, the number can be slightly increased. Currently, there are more commercial taxes, and the taxes are set very hard, without a reasonable fluctuation range. For example, collecting taxes according to the quantity of commercial goods can effectively curb the current "overload" trend on the official road.

Yes, the very advanced new term "overload" has been born in Ming Dynasty in advance. Because the official roads of Jingda University are mostly taxed on the number of carriages, in order to save costs, carriages carry as much carriage as possible. And if there are more shipments in a single trip, merchants can sell more, so they must have as much as possible.

Accidents caused by overload have also become the main accident on the official road of Beijing University, far exceeding the accidents caused by the previous top-ranking counter-traffic/stopping and other failure to comply with traffic rules.

As for the second suggestion to buy food.

Wulutus thought it was OK to buy from Song State. After all, Song State is not a vassal state of Ming State, and as an agricultural State, Song State must have surplus grain. In addition, with geographical convenience, purchasing through commercial means is indeed the best way.

For Goryeo, there is no need to buy it. Although the Ming Dynasty is rich, it cannot spend money indiscriminately. Anyway, when we solve Japan next year, we will have to solve Goryeo first. Then it doesn’t matter if we do it in advance. So Ulutus has decided to find Goryeo to get food first.

In addition, the Mongolian Khanate cannot be ignored.

Don’t think that if the Mongolian Khanate does not grow grain, there will be no grain. They have a large number of Han people in Hebei/Shanxi/Monan and other places. As traditional farming areas, they must have planted a lot of grain. There are also cattle and sheep and other livestock, which happens to be no grass to eat due to heavy snow in winter. Therefore, many herders are slaughtering livestock to avoid starving to death, resulting in reduced raw meat production and in vain losses.

It just so happened that the Ming Dynasty was a vassal state of the Mongolian Khanate. If this vassal state was in trouble, it naturally had to ask for help from the sect leader. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty did not ask for it for nothing, but exchanged a large amount of commercial goods for exchange. The Mongolians did like the commercial goods of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is necessary for major commercial banks to buy grain and meat in the jurisdiction of the Khanate.

Japan cannot let it go, as it is close to Goryeo. If you don’t beat them, it should be fine to send a fleet to buy grain.

The last method to let the Jin Dynasty and the Khanate restrain refugees in the territory was directly abandoned. Not only could it not be restricted, but it also required great encouragement. Ulutus decided to let the secret guards stationed in both countries show their strength.

Anyway, the two forces are rampant in the territory of mountains and thieves. Let the secret guards take the opportunity to accommodate more refugees in the two countries and occupy the mountain, which can also be used as an extension of the Ming Dynasty's armed forces. Moreover, the powerful landlords may not have no surplus food at home. The secret guards can take their attention and feed more people on the spot.

In this era, the slogan of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" always has the attribute of "justice".

Moreover, those rich households are mostly related to being unkind and fishing people. I believe that those people who are too poor to starve to death very much like and yearn for killing rich households, eating their food, and sleeping in their mother's "beautiful" lives.

So Ulutus gave his revised relief method to the waiting ministers. Except for the third secret guard method that could not be announced to the public, the other two methods could be widely disclosed.

The Secretaries led by Zhou Shao knew that Ulutus was unwilling to miss the opportunity to gather refugees and increase the population. So they did not advise them anymore! But it is indeed a difficult situation for the workshop to not keep up with the production efficiency.

Fortunately, this is not impossible to solve!

If the hydraulic power cannot keep up, then use manpower. Anyway, it is now slack farming, and the fields are frozen hard. If you hoe down, let alone reclaiming the land, you may even have hoe broken. So those people who have been staying at home and trained for a few months can go to the workshop to work.

I believe that under the new round of consumption stimulus plan led by the government, the production of workshops will inevitably be in full swing. Workshop owners will try their best to recruit more people. With this opportunity to make money, ordinary people will naturally not let it go.

Considering the climate, Jeju Island without ice and snow can also be used. It is a wasteful and single function as a transit hub. Ordinary workshops that rely more on hydraulic power can be built locally.

In the future, when production efficiency in mainland Ming Dynasty was ineffective due to winter, Jeju could serve as a supplementary force to effectively meet the market demand of Ming Dynasty.

As long as you control the key technologies, raw materials and markets in Shangjing, a small island in Jeju will not make a big splash.

In this way, it can attract more population and merchant ships for Jeju, so why not do it? It’s just that Jeju cannot allow the people of Goryeo to occupy a population advantage. The Han people, especially the Han people in the Central Plains, are the main population of Jeju.

In the future, even if the Ming Dynasty was in a weak state, Jeju would not be isolated from the Central Plains and Han areas because of the same language and species as the mainland.

Finally, after the supplement and improvement of the ministers, a complete set of decrees to collect/relief/resettlement of refugees from Shandong was announced to all parts of the Ming Dynasty through the latest issue of the Daming Daily. Now with the emergence of newspapers and the intentional support of Ulutus, the Daming Daily has replaced the propaganda method of posting notices by the government in the past and became the main external mouthpiece of the Ming Dynasty. All kinds of government decrees will be published in the Daming Daily and then announced to fill out.

This also invisibly enhanced the influence of Daming Daily.
