Qian deaf for 48 years. In addition to Linqing Chaoguan, the autumn tax that the entire Shandong transported to our Tartar Treasury was only more than 800,000 taels. Now, Yizhou Prefecture collects one million taels of autumn tax?

Such an outrageous thing, let alone Zhu Jinsong disbelief, even Zeng Cheng, who reported the news, could not believe it.

You should know that the autumn tax collected by our Qing Dynasty in Shandong every year should be tens of thousands of taels, but the autumn tax that was transferred to our Qing Dynasty treasury was only more than 800,000 taels.

The twists and turns in the middle are probably not clear about the other leaders on Menglianggu, but Zeng Cheng, who served as the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, was very clear about it.

It is not difficult to collect a tax of one million taels in Yizhou Prefecture. Any prefect can receive more than this number. The difficulty is how to collect a tax of one million taels without oppressing the people, not to mention that the boss exempts the agricultural tax and does not allow oppression of the people.

It is precisely because of this that the autumn tax of more than one million taels seems so outrageous.

But, this is just like Mr. Lu Xun said. No matter how outrageous this matter is, whether you believe it or not, the autumn tax collected is there, and you can't help but believe it.

After repeatedly checking it out several times, and even taking people to the village and county below for a visit, Zeng Cheng and Zeng Mansion had to believe this painful result.

While organizing the language, Zeng Cheng bowed to Zhu Jinsong in a tangled manner and said, "The boss had previously instructed that the areas under our Menglianggu are exempt from three years of agricultural tax. Farmers' associations in various places also know about this, so the county governments under Yizhou Prefecture confiscated any agricultural tax."

Ke Zhiming looked at Zhu Jinsong and nodded, saying, "Young Master, the villain has indeed not received any relevant information."

After Ke Zhiming said this, Zhu Jinsong immediately became interested.

If others were to guarantee Zeng Cheng, Zhu Jinsong might wonder if there was any problem. However, even Ke Zhiming, the open intelligence leader, said so, then it can only be said that what Zeng Cheng said is true.

The source of information in Ke Zhiming's hands is very complicated, not just the open world society, but also the remaining Jinyiwei and Dongchang will also deliver the information to Ke Zhiming.

Of course, Zhu Jinsong was not worried about any threat to Ke Zhiming, because the reason why Jinyiwei and the East Factory delivered the information to Ke Zhiming was completely Zhu Jinsong's meaning.

For example, the entire Meng Lianggu knew that Zhu Jinsong was always surrounded by a mute guard, but who could know that this guard sent by the Heaven and Earth Association to Zhu Jinsong was actually the current commander of the remaining Jinyiwei?

To put it bluntly, Ke Zhiming was the intelligence leader who was pushed to the open by Zhu Jinsong. If Zhu Jinsong had not nodded, even the remaining Jinyiwei and the East Factory would not have gone to Ke Zhiming. On the contrary, there were many people in the Tiandihui who were spies of Jinyiwei.

This is also why the remaining Jinyiwei and Dongchang came to the door soon after Tiandihui confirmed Zhu Jinsong's identity.

The remaining Jinyiwei and Dongchang's anti-Qing will were even stronger than the anti-Qing will of Tiandihui, and they were more firm in supporting Zhu Jinsong.

The Tiandihui, the remaining Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, these three families are not affiliated with each other, and their relationship is also in a mess. Each has spies from each other, and each has secrets and means that the other party has not mastered.

In comparison, most of the news in the Tiandi Club is about the people, most of the news in the Jinyiwei is about the officialdom, and the news in the Dongchang is from the Tartar Palace.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhu Jinsong wanted to know what Qian Deaf Old Dog ate last night, the relevant information would only take three days or even less to be placed on Zhu Jinsong's desk.

It is precisely because of this that Ke Zhiming, the open intelligence leader, was able to know the dynamics of the Tartar government, and even the attack plan of Agui, Fu Huan, Fu Kang'an and others was well aware of.

It was precisely because he knew Ke Zhiming's source and authenticity that Zhu Jinsong became even more curious after Ke Zhiming said that he had not received the relevant information.

No one went to plunder the people and confiscate the agricultural tax. This means that the more than one million taels collected were just commercial taxes?

Isn’t this even more outrageous? It’s so outrageous that he’s so outrageous that he’s so outrageous, so outrageous!

Just as Zhu Jinsong was thinking about these messy things, Zeng Cheng continued: "This one million taels is indeed just the commercial tax this year, and the tax rate is only fifteen taxes."

"At the beginning, I really couldn't believe what I saw, and even took people to the townships and counties below in secret."

"I didn't understand the relationship until yesterday."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Tell me what to say?"

Zeng Cheng bowed and replied again: "For the great master, the reason why there is such an exaggerated number of one million taels of commercial tax in Yizhou is ultimately because of the great master."

"First of all, the boss personally led the people to dig a large number of wells. This year, the harvest of the people in Yizhou has not been greatly affected. In addition, the boss exempted the people from agricultural taxes under the rule of Menglianggu, so the people's lives have been a little easier."

"Secondly, because our Menglianggu purchases a large amount of grain, steel, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur and other materials, and they settle in cash and never default on the owings. Therefore, there are more merchants coming to Yizhou, and many workshops have emerged among the people."

"The merchants themselves have to pay commercial taxes, and there is nothing to say about this. The key is the workshops that have emerged among the people."

"If you set up a workshop, you must hire people. If you hire people, you must pay for work. Many people will take advantage of the slack season to work in the workshop. There are even many people with small land and many people at home, so they can save a few people to work in the workshop to make money."

"As a result, the people's money gradually increased."

"When the people have money, they want to improve their lives slightly, which has attracted a large number of businessmen."

"So, even if it is just the tax rate of 15 taxes, even if it is just the commercial tax, it has reached an astonishing one million taels."

Speaking of this, Zeng Cheng, who was getting more and more excited just now, suddenly became entangled: "But I can't understand why it was so difficult to collect taxes in Tai'an Prefecture, but it became simple to get to Yizhou?"

"In theory, it is their nature to pursue profits by merchants. Although the tax rate for the 15th tax is not high, how can these people willingly pay it?"

"There is another thing, that is, many people who come into the workshop to work are planning to set up a trade union, but this is a headache for a moment."

"In theory, many of the laws and regulations of our Menglianggu inherited the Ming Dynasty. The people had the right to form associations. They were the first farmers' associations to be established by our Menglianggu. Therefore, since the people want to establish trade unions, as long as they report to the government and don't cause any trouble, they should let them."

"But I can't figure out whether the consequences of this union are good or bad, but I can't figure it out for a moment, and I'm considering it now."

Hearing Zeng Cheng’s questions, Zhu Jinsong bent his fingers and slowly knocked on the table, and began to think about the pros and cons in his mind.

As Zeng Cheng said, it was difficult to collect taxes in Tai'an Prefecture before, but merchants in Yizhou Prefecture were willing to honestly pay taxes at the rate of 15 taxes. The fundamental reason was that they were profitable.

Compared with Meng Lianggu’s cash payment, what kind of sexual intercourse was my Qing court?

It's just a union...

Once the trade union appears, it can be regarded as a good thing that is beneficial and harmless for both the rule of Menglianggu and the people.

But, how can we make those workshop owners accept the existence of trade unions?

You will know from later generations that those Internet giants and most private enterprises basically do not have trade unions, and those with trade unions are basically official regular soldiers.

Ali didn’t establish a trade union until December 28, 2021, and there was no pain information system at all.

Trade Union Law?

hehe!

There are many reasons for this mess. One of the most important reasons is that the investors are unwilling to make trouble for themselves. Another reason is that the essence of the trade union is that there is a suspicion of having to deal with the investors with the bowl.

Adding these two reasons to a piece, this matter is basically ruined.

In addition, there is a third more fucking reason.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Anyone who understands it understands it.

To put it bluntly, these reasons are the same for Menglianggu. Moreover, Menglianggu has just started and many things are not perfect enough. If you take too much, the consequences may be very likely to be a big deal.

Don’t say that you can avoid eating pigs with hair without butcher Zhang. Just listen to this, don’t believe it, because once you don’t have butcher Zhang, you may not even be able to eat pigs with hair.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinsong suddenly asked a few questions that were not related to the trade union: "How much grain reserves do we have in Menglianggu now? If we leave those merchants and workshops, can Menglianggu achieve self-sufficiency?"

Zeng Cheng was startled, and after careful consideration, he replied tentatively: "Our Menglianggu has granaries in various counties and townships. The grain stored in it is mainly wheat and corn, supplemented by sweet potatoes and potatoes, which is enough for the local people to use for a year."

"As for those merchants and workshops... it's a bit better to say about the steel side. After all, their steel is not enough to supply Baizhang Cliff, and there is no big problem with the cloth, but other aspects will inevitably be affected."

"The others are better. Even if they are affected, they will not have much impact. At least they will not be fatal. The problem is that salt. Before the second leader's house organized the Denglai Salt Field, the salt in our Menglianggu still has to be transported by those merchants. The current salt storage is less than three months' worth."

One year, three months, not fatal, and other keywords kept flashing in Zhu Jinsong's mind.

After a while, Zhu Jinsong spoke: "What is the point we can reach today? I believe everyone knows what we can do to be like."

After everyone nodded, Zhu Jinsong said to Zeng Cheng again: "The trade union matter will be put on hold for the time being, but you, Zeng Mansion must be prepared for some time."

Zeng Cheng felt a little nervous and bowed his hand and replied: "Please give me the order!"

Zhu Jinsong said: "When we repelled the encirclement of the Tartar officers and soldiers, Zeng Futai will find more staff and revise a regulation on the employment of workshops, stipulating the daily working hours, the monthly rest time, the minimum wage standard and other issues."

"In addition, there must be a trade union in workshops with more than 20 people. If the workshop owners want to close the workshop, then we Menglianggu will build a new workshop by ourselves."

The union cannot just send movie tickets, or just send a few pieces of soap or pairs of gloves.

The union must be the leader of the workers!

Since I did not have a working class in the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Jinsong cultivated the working class himself and forged a hammer head by himself.

If those workshop owners threaten to close the workshop, Zhu Jinsong will create a workshop with the word "national" name.

Qian deaf for fifty years, Watt improved the steam engine. At that time, the sun had not set, and it had begun to enter the era of machines and steam, which was also a symbol of the first industrial revolution.

Zhu Jinsong planned to take the lead in launching the industrial revolution himself.

Smash the mite clearance!

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the successful repelling of A Gui, Mingxing, Fu Huan and Fu Kang'an.
