Before the incident of Lord Zheng passed, someone reported that the shop on Donghua Street was the bane of the troubled people, a tailor was paid more than 500 taels of silver a year, and the third-grade master was only 200 taels.

As soon as this news came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, because it was the first time that everyone knew that being a tailor, a blacksmith, a jade, or even a cook could make so much money. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What do you study for?

What is the purpose of the achievement?

Why is it that you are afraid to lose your head at any time?

It's not about supporting a family.

It is precisely because being an official can raise the family the best, so everyone comes to be an official.

But one day someone told them that the officials were not as good as those lowly craftsmen, how could this be accepted.

There is nothing unacceptable, because this is a fact, the informant said: "It's all because these shops belong to the same person, it belongs to Princess Yong'an, Princess Yong'an is good at collecting money, and craftsmen can give this salary, so it can be seen how rich she is?"

But being rich is not a sin, it just makes people blush.

The person who reported it could not produce evidence to say that Princess Yongan was guilty, and his tone was scathing, so it was easy for adults who had a relationship with Princess Yongan to speak for Princess Yong'an.

"But in the end, I can't erase the emperor's care, so rich, the annual income is higher than the treasury income, if you use this money to do anything disobedient, it is really impossible to prevent it. ”

Chen Guogong's mansion, Chen Guogong has to teach his son Feng Shaoyu a lesson at ten o'clock every evening.

happened to talk about Lin Xiaojue.

He added, "And Princess Yong'an's money will lead the emperor to be jealous, and the treasury often has no money. ”

Feng Shaoyu sat opposite his father with a worried expression: "There are people who sue twice in three days, and this time is not very dangerous." ”

Chen Guogong thought for a moment and shook his head, "Even if the emperor doesn't dispose of Princess Yong'an, he will gradually alienate her. ”

In Feng Shaoyu's heart, his father has always been like a god, and he said this, which proves that his sister-in-law is in crisis this time.

couldn't help but pull down his face, "Dad, you can't see death without help, otherwise I will cut off the father-son relationship with you." ”

Chen Guogong: "......"

He said: "It's not that your father won't save him if he doesn't see death, it's that he doesn't know how to save it, and the emperor won't say that it's because Princess Yong'an is rich and can make money, and she will find other excuses, who knows when?"

"It's coming, it's coming. "Fang family, Fang Jinglong looked at his son expectantly, "If the emperor lets her go again this time, my words will be reversed." ”

Fang Junhou thought to himself that if the emperor protected Lin Xiaojue again this time, it would mean that the emperor didn't care about this country, so that the emperor would live for a day, and he wouldn't have to think about bringing down Lin Xiaojue anymore, and he would directly serve her as the crown prince.

The weather suddenly became hot, and I didn't dare to go out to see the sun at noon.

Lin Xiaojue and Lan Junyuan made an appointment to see Nan Gongzi, the two of them were on their knees in the carriage, Lan Junyuan asked Lin Xiaojue: "You are not worried about the things on the street at all, because you have a countermeasure?"

Lin Xiaojue hooked his lips and looked confident: "It's not that there is a way to deal with it, it's that I've been planning for a rainy day a long time ago, don't I know if I'm going to make a big move, waiting for someone to attack me." "I'm just worried about one thing, looking for trouble one by one, when will it be a head?"

Unless she's nothing.

Unless she became emperor herself.

"Always fighting defensive battles, no wonder we are always at a loss, we should start a counterattack war." ”

"What do you think of?"

Lin Xiaojue shook his head with a smile and said, "You first see how I resolve this matter, and then they will all be unlucky, not only that, but my goal can also go further." ”

Lan Junyuan thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I can't think of your method." ”

"Just look. ”

The emperor summoned the officials of the household department to thoroughly investigate whether all the shops on Donghua Street were as the outside world said, and they were the places where Lin Xiaojue gave the prince to collect money.

Lord Han asked the emperor for instructions and asked his subordinate officials to bring a stack of high ledgers to the Dao Xinyang Palace.

"Saint, these are the tax accounts paid by the shops on Donghua Street last year. ”

The Donghua Street store has only been open for one year.

The emperor was slightly stunned: "There are so many accounts?"

Han Shilang said, "Because these tax-paying shops are indeed Princess Yong'an's, every account is clear, and the tax is not less at all, a total of 300,000 taels." ”

"30,000 taels?" The emperor was rarely surprised: "300,000 taels?

Han Shilang said, "Holy Lord, the minister still has something to do. ”

The emperor was anxious to know about the tax, and said impatiently: "Play." ”

"Yes. Han Shilang began to talk eloquently, "Shengshang, Princess Yong'an originally had the title of princess, and the Zhou family is also the family of the minister, it stands to reason that Princess Yong'an does not need to pay taxes, but if she doesn't pay these taxes, the Shengshang's grain and grass armaments for this westward journey will be reduced, and the disaster in Jiangxi last year still has an impact, and the household department allocated 100,000 taels to repair the river embankment before, which is also the money in it." ”

The emperor nodded unconsciously as he listened.

Han Shilang said: "But Princess Yong'an is just a few shops, just ask the princess's prosperous family, which one has no private property, which one does not have a noble Yingmen, but as long as they have a person in the family, they can be exempt from taxes, and the taxes paid by the people are not enough for them to earn in a store, and it is these people who should really pay taxes, but now the court pays taxes just the opposite, which is to kill the poor and help the rich." ”

The emperor was like an empowerment, stood up and looked at Han Shilang: "What you said is true?"

Han Shilang nodded: "Especially in Jiangnan and other places, many retail households attach their accounts to the names of large households, as long as there are people who are not scholars, the imperial court will not be able to collect these taxes." ”

The emperor said: "No wonder the court is getting poorer day by day. ”

Han Shilang said again: "Let's just say that the Yongning Bofu, which has a shop on Donghua Street like Princess Yong'an, if it is calculated according to Princess Yong'an's profits, the Fang family's shops in those years will have to pay a tax of 50,000 taels of silver." ”

But because they are a powerful family, all this money becomes their own.

There is not a single piece of the treasury to be found.

The people have to raise so many children, work hard, and pay taxes all year round, and they don't have to do anything.

The emperor kept walking with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly looked at Han Shilang: "But this is the rule passed down by the ancestors, otherwise why would everyone in the world study?

Lord Zheng's expression was solemn: "Your Majesty, the more the land is gathered, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, so the Tang and Song dynasties are gone, and the Yuan is gone." ”

If it shouldn't, his Zhu family dynasty will also be gone.

The emperor seems to have been hit by a slap in the face.

He stared at Han Shilang for a long time.

I looked down and thought about it.

Han Shilang lowered his head, and a smile welled up in his eyes, which was fleeting.

He raised his head and said: "The Holy Lord is in a hurry to do this, if he suddenly says that these people want to raise taxes, you think, the increase is on their heads, and they can influence the government, how can they agree, so we must think about it in the long term and get along with a set of feasible rules." "Maybe the scholar is not so great, the good cook under Princess Yong'an can earn five hundred taels a year, which can provide the normal expenses of a family of fifty, and the food expenses of fifty people a year can support a farmer, so that the spirit of craftsmanship is more affordable than the spirit of scholars." ”

The emperor was unlearned and unskilled before the Jingnan, and Emperor Taizu cultivated the prince at that time with all his heart, and he didn't care much about the emperor and others.

The emperor didn't have the spirit of a warrior, and he didn't care about things like starvation and death, so Han Shilang's words deeply touched his heart.

It is more affordable to raise craftsmen than to raise nerds, and nerds can only fight against him.

He muttered, "I'll have to think about it. "Raise your head and call Da Liu Gonggong;" Gather all the scholars to the Dao Yang Heart Palace, I have something to discuss with them. ”

Tax reform is related to the fortune of the country and the people's livelihood, and if you are not careful, you will complain, several cabinet elders are on errands under the emperor's obscenity, and the most bloody is Lord Han, but he does not dare to make a decision.

After several hours of discussion, the charter could not be obtained.

But after it dispersed, the news could not be withheld in the end, and like a hurricane, on the second day, everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knew that the emperor wanted to collect taxes on scholars.

Lan Junyuan, who knew the truth, scratched Lin Xiaojue's nose with admiration when he was dating Lin Xiaojue: "If everyone really has to be unlucky, if it is known that you are the ghost, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will hate you to death." ”

Lin Xiaojue chuckled: "But if it can be done, the descendants of the Zhu family will be grateful to me." ”
