Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 460
On the ninth day of November in the fifth year of Kyushu, Chen Yunfu held an enlarged meeting of the Military and Political Council in Beijing.

The agenda for this meeting is two points.

One is whether to remove the hat of Guangdong as an economic pilot province, and the other is to split up Zhili to establish a province.

But the most eye-catching part of this meeting is not the content of the meeting itself, but the addition of a 'guest' that no one expected.

Emperor of Ming Dynasty, King of Zhongzhou Zhu Yunxi!
The young emperor, who just graduated from Nanjing Gulou Qingxue last month, showed up to attend the meeting. After seven years, he returned to Fengtian Palace as an emperor for the first time.

Although the overall layout of the current Fengtian Hall has undergone earth-shaking changes from the court halls of the past, without dragon chairs, imperial steps, and civil and military officials, Zhu Yunxuan was arranged to sit in the center of the large round table. left hand first.

There are rules for seating in order in the officialdom. The seat on Chen Yunfu's left hand was always occupied by Lan Yu. After Lan Yu left, the seat was occupied by Chen Yunfu's old father-in-law Shao Zhi.

Shao Zhi is nearly [-] years old, and now he has retired to take care of his life and enjoy his grandchildren.

Everyone thought that Yang Shiqi would be the next to sit in this position, but no one expected that it would be Zhu Yunxi.

Everyone sat down in amazement, but they didn't open their mouths casually, and kept silent with each other's own thoughts.

In fact, the content to be discussed in today's meeting was written long before the meeting started, when they participated in the company's written note. Everyone knew what to discuss and what to decide, so everyone had their own considerations.

Two things, one more important than the other.

Removing the title of Guangdong as a pilot economic province is to affirm that the central government's previous policy on the establishment of a federation of industry and commerce is correct. Since it is a correct policy, it must be implemented nationwide.

Under this background, the whole country promotes the encouragement of industry and commerce. Does the central government have the ability to control the overall situation?

It is true that Guangdong's economic development is very fast, and Guangdong's capital is also very healthy, but that's because there is only one pilot province in the country, and the central government's attention is on Guangdong. It is not easy for Guangdong to grow.

But once the whole country is like this, the attention of the central government will be dispersed from Guangdong province to other provinces across the country. At that time, can local capital be firmly controlled?
This point needs to be questioned first.

Let’s talk about the second point. The purpose of splitting Zhili into two provinces, Anhui and Jiangsu, is to simplify the speed of government orders. After all, more than a dozen state capitals in Zhili are all directly under the central government, which really delays the administrative efficiency of the central government. .

Until today, the country has been developing for many years, and it is said that everything is making steady progress, but Chen Yunfu still works on daily approval until late at night. The reason is that there are too many trivial matters in Zhili Prefecture.

Dividing Zhili into two provinces, the central government of the local prefectures and counties will no longer personally approve the government affairs, but hand them over to the chief ministers of the two provinces, and the major affairs will be returned to the central government. This can not only improve administrative efficiency, but also take care of Lao Chen's health.

In six years to Kyushu, Chen Yunfu will be 40 years old!
This age is exactly the golden age of a man in his prime, and he was talking about his prime, but Lao Chen's physical condition may not be that good.

When he was growing up in the early years, he was exhausted because of his big brother. After running around for more than ten years, he finally became the master of the country, and he never took a breath.

Death from overwork is no joke.

Chen Yunfu didn't want to imitate Zhuge Liang, and really sang a tragic scene in which he died before he was able to win the battle, which made the hero burst into tears.

He still wants to watch the day when Kyushu is fully formed.

No one in the hall spoke. Yang Rong, who had completely taken over Yang Shiqi's duties as the secretary of the meeting, whispered something to Chen Yunfu with his eyes closed after counting the number of participants.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here."

"what."

Chen Yunfu woke up with a start and opened his eyes. His brows seemed a little tired, and he took a sip of strong tea to moisten his throat.

"Now that everything is ready, let's have a meeting."

"The content office of today's meeting has already notified you in advance. Let me first talk about the matter of Guangdong's removal of hats. What do you think?"

Shao Ziheng was the first to speak: "The Guangdong Economic Pilot Province has only worn the hat for three years, and the time is not too long. Would it be too early to take off the hat now, or wait a few years to see the effect ?”

He felt that Chen Yunfu himself was still hesitant, so he gave an ambiguous statement.

It belongs to the answer to try to figure out what you want.

After all, he is Chen Yunfu's eldest uncle, so he naturally understands Chen Yunfu's true thoughts better than other ministers.

Xia Yuanji then said: "My minister thinks that Guangdong can be taken off the hat. We were hesitant to decide on this policy back then because we were worried that the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce would lead to collusion between government and businessmen, and businessmen would take advantage of the common people.

However, in the past three years, under the double supervision of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Guangdong Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for frequent visits between officials and businessmen in Guangdong, no incidents of collusion between officials and businessmen and rampant crimes have been found. criminal clues.

In addition, some time ago, Hu Sizong also reported on the current situation in Guangdong. Not to mention that Guangdong is developing very well. Instead of exploiting the people, businessmen have increased wages and benefits for workers, and the Chen family company even introduced pensions. , it can be seen that businessmen are not all beasts who exploit the people, and they still have some conscience.

Therefore, I support the decapitation of Guangdong, and all provinces across the country can establish federations of industry and commerce to increase efforts to encourage the development of industry and commerce. "

He is the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Guangdong's wealth brings the national treasury full, and Xia Yuanji enjoys the feeling of spending money.

So Xia Yuanji is the one who most supports the country to get rich as soon as possible.

Yan Zhenzhi also spoke after Xia Yuanji finished speaking, but he didn't say what he thought, but reported a set of numbers.

"In the second year of Kyushu, before the establishment of the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, the total tax revenue was 15 million taels.

In the three years of Kyushu, the fiscal tax of Guangdong Province was 1904 million taels, an increase of 17.00% point six.

Four years in Kyushu, 3601 million taels, an increase of 13.00%
The amount that has just been transferred into the national treasury this year is 4 million taels, an increase of [-]%.

Although the growth rate of fiscal and taxation has been declining year after year, the statistics department of the central bank believes that in the next five to ten years, the annual fiscal and taxation increase in Guangzhou will decline, but it will stabilize at an annual growth rate of 2000% to [-]%. In three years, Guangdong's annual tax revenue is expected to reach [-] million taels.

Ladies and gentlemen, the fiscal and taxation of Guangdong has been in real money for the past few years, and the figure of 500 million taels this year has already surpassed Guangdong's taxation records at the peak of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As the governor of the central bank, I don't know anything else, but I can count money, so I support Guangdong's decapitation. All provinces in the country can establish federations of industry and commerce. Nanjing, the establishment of the National Federation of Industry and Commerce. "

Only when Guangdong takes off its hat can the businessmen in all provinces of the country thrive and prevent the Cantonese businessmen from being the dominant one!
Although Chen Yunfu didn't speak, he glanced at Zhu Yunxuan beside him, and found that the latter had a horrified expression at the moment.

A Guangdong, 500 million taels of taxation a year?
My God, is Daming already so powerful?

Immediately Zhu Yunxi became excited again.

He looked at Chen Yunfu with eyes full of excitement and gratitude.

Only thanks.

Daming's today is all because of the few white hairs on Chen Yunfu's head!
