    "In this case, the cabinet should first draw up a plan. For any province, how to appoint officials, station troops, etc., just like this tax reform plan, make a detailed and specific implementation plan."

    Seeing that everyone¡¯s opinions were very consistent, Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said.

    "Yes~"

    Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, nodded quickly after hearing this.

    "Okay, let's continue talking about the tax reform. Is there anything else you need to add to this plan?"

    Emperor Hongzhi shifted the topic to the tax reform plan proposed by Liu Jin.

    When everyone heard it, they immediately understood that Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s meaning was very clear. He was very satisfied with the tax reform plan. Everyone could not object and could only put forward some opinions on specific details.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words are supplementary, which is enough to explain.

    "Liu Jin, I don't understand. Why does this special business tax only target gambling houses and brothels?"

    Xie Qian thought for a while and stood up and said.

    "Because of the two industries of gambling and brothels, it will seriously affect social stability, especially gambling."

    "Since ancient times, countless people have lost their fortunes, divorced their families, and separated their wives and children because of gambling. Gambling can easily breed laziness and lazy habits. Therefore, we must try our best to suppress industries like gambling as much as possible.  to reduce the number of gambling dens."

    "As for brothels, they are also very harmful, especially to women, because the huge profits often prompt these brothels to use any means to obtain more women to use as their own money-making tools."

    "Since ancient times, I don't know how many women have been devoured cleanly by the man-eating devil's cave of brothels and Chu palaces. They were fine when they were young, but once their beauty fades with age, their fate is extremely tragic."

    "Therefore, high taxes must be levied on gambling houses and brothels to suppress their development and better maintain the morale and stability of the entire society and country."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.

    This thing is strictly prohibited in later generations, especially the former. The harm of gambling is too great. There are too many, too many people who have lost their fortunes and their families because of gambling. There are also too many, too many people who have committed crimes because of gambling.  The road of no return.

    In this era, gambling and brothels are not allowed, especially the latter. Since ancient times, literati and poets have often liked to hang out in brothels and brothels, leaving some reputations for sluts.

    Since it cannot be banned, we must learn from the countries of later generations that allow these industries to exist and impose heavy taxes on such industries.

    "Well, yes, it is indeed necessary to impose heavy taxes on gambling houses and brothels."

    ¡°I have seen with my own eyes before that some people lost all their money because of gambling, and their families were ruined by people in gambling houses.¡±

    At this time, Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, nodded solemnly and expressed his support.

    "The harm caused by gambling houses and brothels is indeed not small, and it is time to take good care of them."

    Liu Jian also nodded and said.

    "Your Majesty, gentlemen~"

    "Implementing heavy taxes on gambling houses and brothels is one of the three major taxes I call them. It can be used to guide the development of industries that are beneficial to the court and the country, such as the factories and workshops that are now very popular in the Beijing-Tianjin area."

    ¡°These industries not only create a large amount of social wealth, but also create a large number of jobs, and their development should be vigorously encouraged.¡±

    "Another example is the marine fishing industry. After the Ming Dynasty lifted the sea ban and allowed private fishing, fishermen along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were able to catch hundreds of millions of kilograms of marine fish from the ocean every year. This means that the same huge amount of food alone  Just these caught marine fish can feed millions of people.¡±

    "And sea fish is high-quality meat, which can greatly strengthen the bodies of my Ming people."

    "For such an industry, we should vigorously support its development and tax it less. If conditions permit, we can even provide them with some tax subsidies to encourage their development."

    ¡°Because the development of these industries can create wealth for society, promote employment, and allow the people of Ming Dynasty to live a more prosperous life.¡±

    Liu Jin said again very solemnly.

    "Well said~"

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn¡¯t help but praise after hearing this.

    I never thought that taxation could have such a role before. Now it seems that taxation is not only about collecting wealth from the people, it can also promote greater prosperity of society."I'm afraid that the northern provinces will suffer from drought, and then the food harvest will fail, and famine will break out in various parts of the north."

    "If it rains too much, we are afraid that the Yellow River will overflow. If the banks of the Yellow River burst, there will be floods on both sides of the Yellow River, and there will also be famines.

    Since the emergence of cement, officials in the coastal areas of the Yellow River have repeatedly written memorials asking the court to allocate funds to build river banks. But where does the court have the money to allocate funds to build river banks?

    Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers of the imperial court also knew this. They knew that using cement to build riverbanks and reservoirs was not only very strong, but also durable.

    But what can the court do if it has no money?

    Emperor Hongzhi himself also took out a lot of money from the internal funds to allocate it to the provinces below to do things, but he can't always pay from the internal funds of Emperor Hongzhi. After all, it is the emperor's private treasury.

    "As many people as there are, there will be more. We will set up provinces and government agencies overseas, and appoint officials to replace them. We can recruit as many people as we need. We have many giants in the Ming Dynasty who have no official positions. This time, we should consider it as Kai Enke."  .¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and made a decision. As long as he has money, it doesn't matter if he has more people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
