MTL - Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 2472 Send someone to deal with Chu Jin

  Chapter 2472 Send people to deal with Chu Jin

  A sea-going ship pays two-tenths of tax silver, which is more than 100,000 taels. This is still a medium-sized sea-going ship, and some large-scale sea-going ships can even have 200,000 taels.

  You must know that in the past, the land tax collected by the people in the whole Great Chu was only three to four million taels a year.

   With only twenty or so sea-going ships, the tax paid was as high as two million taels. If there are more sea-going ships in the future, the benefits brought back will only be greater.

  This is still the tax collected by the Guanghai ship, not including the business tax that these merchants need to pay every year.

  The economy of the whole Dachu is flowing, and there will be more than 5 million business taxes a year at least.

   These two items alone can directly destroy Da Chu's current financial income for a year.

  Emperor Xuanming was overjoyed, and directly and happily stated in the court that he would reward the merchant ships that successfully returned from overseas this time, and decreed that these people come to the capital in person to receive the title and explain the overseas situation.

  As soon as these words came out, many officials were shocked. They didn't expect Emperor Xuanming to be so generous that he wanted to reward them directly. You must know that these were made by some aristocratic families in Jiangnan and some ordinary merchants.

   It is a great joy for these people to be awarded the title, which is like a pie in the sky. They are extremely lucky. After all, not everyone can be rewarded by the emperor. This is a major event of family glory.

   And judging by Emperor Xuanming's open-minded attitude, it seemed that he would not treat these people badly.

As soon as the morning came, officials arranged for people to approach those families with average wealth and no background, but this time they took advantage of the wind and held a lot of money in their hands. Whether it was hints or threats, in short, first It's about bringing them in.

   When Qi Shangshu returned to the mansion, he also arranged for people to do it.

   Not long after the arrangements were made, he was in a good mood. After all, there were also his people who went to sea this time. Jiangnan is the prince's base camp. With such a big happy event happening this time, it must be his Qi family who took advantage.

However, a subordinate soon told him: "My lord, I heard that the son of the Chu family also went to sea with him and came back smoothly. In the eyes of the emperor, he is also young and promising, and his future is boundless."

   "Do we need to do anything?"

   "Master of the Chu family." Qi Shangshu squinted his eyes. He was already very afraid of Chu Heng. If the juniors of the Chu family are also outstanding, then it will definitely not be a good thing for the Qi family in the future.

"You send some people first, and look for opportunities to see if you can let the other party have an accident quietly." Qi Shangshu squinted his eyes, and immediately made a decision: "Didn't it be said that many people who went to sea died in the sea? It’s not sure what kind of disease those remote small countries have, and it’s possible to be infected unintentionally.”

   These words imply that his subordinates poisoned Chu Jin.

  The subordinate immediately nodded and left.

   Not long after, guards rushed over.

   "My lord, Mr. Liu is back."

   Qi Shangshu looked over suddenly, "Bring him quickly."

  Mr. Liu is a counselor next to Qi Shangshu. This time he was arranged to go to Jiangnan to solve Mrs. Qi's natal family and Wang Qianmao, the dean of Jiangnan Academy.

   After dealing with it for so long, Qi Shangshu has been thinking about it, and must not let this matter happen.

   Soon, a middle-aged man named Mr. Liu came over.

He entered the door to salute Qi Shangshu, and then quickly said: "My lord, Wang Qianmao's side is a bit tricky. The other side has many great Confucianists and even students who have become officials. The subordinates dare not force him too much. .”
