Among the residential taxes were official shop money, shop cash, deposit tax, deed tax, etc., while among the transit taxes were customs duties, levy tax, and gate tax, etc.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang initially showed little interest in and resistance to the commercial market, resulting in a tax rate of 1/30, but without specific limits. Therefore, tax collection in the Ming Dynasty often varied depending on the time and place.

Moreover, the scope of taxation is very broad, covering almost everything.

Zhu Yunying naturally knew that such a thing was not a good idea, and he did not intend to suddenly establish a tax system and implement it nationwide. He also understood that even in later generations, there were slight differences in taxation in different regions, or different policies, etc.

However, if Zhu Yunying wanted to formulate some policies, he needed to set a general framework and give local areas a certain degree of freedom so that they could make some adjustments and benefits in the actual tax collection process.

Joo Yoon-young felt that such things were only natural, and that these were things he should do.

Although the Ming Dynasty was primarily an agrarian civilization, one shouldn't expect its commercial economy to be too developed in a short period. However, Zhu Yunying did hope for a more vibrant economy in the Ming Dynasty, given the incredibly prosperous commercial trade of the Song Dynasty in history.

If agriculture and commerce develop in tandem, the Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly become even more prosperous and powerful, which is also one of Zhu Yunying's expectations. The Maritime Trade Office, at present, is merely an opening, simply Zhu Yunying's attempt to further unleash the commercial market.

He had formulated some plans, which were things that Zhu Yunying had been planning for a long time. No one could stop him from trying these things because he was a relatively prestigious emperor.

However, the most important thing is that Zhu Yunying did not object. Even though Zhu Yunying did not like Zhu Yunying's emphasis on commerce, he could not offend Zhu Yunying.

As long as Zhu is in charge, there's basically no need to expect much opposition.

In fact, Zhu Yunying was well aware that relying solely on his personal prestige was slightly insufficient, and that such matters required the presence of the old Zhu (Zhu Yunying) to oversee them.

No one questioned Zhu Yunying's claim to the throne, nor did anyone doubt his political acumen and control over the court. However, the self-aware Zhu Yunying knew that he was no longer comparable to the late Zhu Yuanzhang, and even in terms of prestige, he couldn't match the former emperor's.

There's no need to feel ashamed of using someone else's name as a banner. After all, this banner comes from Zhu De, and it's something Zhu De supports.

After finishing their official duties, Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing worked overtime, and Little Zhu was taken away by Old Zhu again. They'd have to work harder to raise a son; there was no hope for an eldest son, so now they could only hope for a second legitimate son.

Before he could even get any sleep, Zhu Yunying was quietly woken up by Wang Chengen. It was time to prepare for court and begin another day of work.

After washing up, Zhu Yunying ate a simple breakfast and, dressed in casual clothes, strode towards the Fengtian Hall to await the reports from the civil and military officials.

It wasn't a chaotic scene; Zhu Yunying had already established the order in which civil and military officials would report. Naturally, Xu Huizu was the first to speak about the military situation of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yunying listened attentively.

The Ming Dynasty no longer needs to wage war everywhere, so the main issues are training, garrison posts, provisions, and weaponry.

There were also cases of outstanding performance or corruption among the chief officials of various garrisons, which were all matters that Zhu Yunying needed to handle.

This wasn't too difficult for Zhu Yunying at all; he just needed to listen attentively. With the Five Military Commands stationed there, Zhu Yunying could maintain control over the military while also avoiding having to handle many things personally.

Each department reported in its own order. Zhu Yunying was pleased that there seemed to be no unexpected events, and overall the weather was favorable.

The summer harvest, in particular, seems to have gone smoothly, although there were some natural and man-made disasters in a few areas. Overall, it has been another bumper year, which naturally makes Zhu Yunying even happier.

This is definitely a good thing. The Ming Dynasty doesn't really have much to worry about in terms of food security now, and Zhu Yunying doesn't need to worry about his people going hungry.

Since there is a sufficient supply of grain, it is appropriate to further relax some restrictions on grain processing. For example, further relaxing restrictions on brewing, etc., are things that can be further discussed. The Ming Dynasty has enough grain to eat, so it can also enrich its diet and lifestyle.
