"Yes, with an annual income of about 3,000 gold, according to the tax system of Datang Sancheng, Lao Chen will pay 1,000 gold in taxes every year, so Lao Chen, there is no tax evasion!"

Cheng Jin said righteous words, but he was a little panicked in his heart.

Because in fact, the annual income of that iron mine is about 10,000 gold, but Cheng Yanjin lied about 3,000 gold in order to make more money, so that he could pay 2,000 gold less in taxes every year.

Although 2000 gold is just a little bit of money for Li Shimin.

But over time, you evade some taxes, and he also follows the trend to evade taxes, so the money that evades taxes adds up to an immeasurable number!

In fact, this time, Li Shimin wanted to take advantage of the drought year and Li Chengfeng's hand to properly rectify this corrupt atmosphere.

Let these ministers know the seriousness of tax evasion.

"Zheng Guogong, show your notepad to Lu Guogong!"

"Yes, Eighth Prince!"

Wei Zheng opened the small notebook in his hand and showed it to Cheng Yanjin.

I saw that it read: Wei Zheng: Chang'an City Garment Workshop, 10,000 gold in back taxes!

"One, ten thousand gold?"

"Ding, the surprise from Cheng Biting Jin, naughty value +80!"

Cheng Yanjin was stunned.

Then looking at Wei Zheng's righteous face, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help frowning tightly.

Even Wei Zheng, an old man who is greedy for money, paid 10,000 gold in back taxes?

No, there must have been a fry.

The iron ore in my Cheng Jin's house, the annual flow bill, only me and Xing Guogong Liu Zhenghui know.

I didn't even know about my tax evasion, so how could the eighth prince know about it?

So Cheng Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Eighth prince, all the taxes that the old minister should pay have been paid!" Lao Chen did not owe Datang taxes! ”

Cheng Yanjin still refused to admit it, he thought that Li Chengfeng would have no way to do it.

However, I saw Li Chengfeng smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Cheng Biting Jin, are you serious, do you want me to tell me what you did back then?" ”

"What did Lao Chen do back then? The things that Lao Chen has done are all good for Datang! ”

"Okay, in that case, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Then, Li Chengfeng stretched out his little hand, took out a thick little book from the pocket of his jacket.

It reads "In those years, Cheng Biting Jin did something immoral"!

"Ding, the surprise from Cheng Biting Jin, naughty value +30!"

What's the matter, it's this little book again?

Cheng Yanjin suddenly panicked in his heart.

I still remember the moment when the eighth prince listened to the court on the first day, he took out a lot of these small books.

After reciting the sins committed by many ministers before, could it be that the Eighth Prince even has mine?

Li Chengfeng coughed slightly, flipped through the book, and read: "Tang Lu Guogong Cheng bites gold!" The family has an iron mine, which is the founding reward given by the emperor Li Shimin to Lu Guogong! That iron mine is located in a remote mountainous area south of Chang'an City! ”

"At the beginning, the annual income was about 3,000 gold, and after three years, it rose to 10,000 gold! At first, according to the Datang Decree, Lu Guogong only had to pay 30% of the tax every year, that is, 1,000 gold, but with the increase of Lu Guogong's income, Lu Guogong's tax still paid 1,000 gold! ”

"Originally, Lu Guogong needed to pay 3,000 gold in taxes every year, but now, he only pays 1,000 gold in taxes! It's been seven years! Similarly, Lu Guogong evaded taxes by 14,000 gold! ”

"Ding, the fear from Cheng Biting Jin, naughty value +100!"

When Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin panicked.

How so?

The income of his own family was actually calculated clearly by the Eighth Prince?

But who told the Eighth Prince about this?

By the way, it must be Liu Zhenghui's old thief.

Okay, you Liu Zhenghui, you have a lot of tax evasion, and you actually sued the wicked person first, and first told the eighth prince about my tax evasion?

Whew, whew......

At this moment, Cheng Yanjin's heart was about to explode.

Seeing that Li Chengfeng had explained everything clearly, Cheng Yanjin did not hide it, and knelt down to Li Chengfeng on the spot.

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Eighth prince, the old minister knows that he is wrong!" Lao Chen has indeed evaded taxes! Therefore, the old minister is willing to bear all the tax evasion and payment! ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to do this sooner? Do you insist that I expose your shortcomings before you are willing to confess? ”

"Tax evasion, no matter how big the Tang Dynasty is, it is also a very serious matter, this time the father is looking at the face of you all the founding heroes, so he did not go out in person, and let me collect the tax on my behalf, otherwise I will anger the emperor, and you will not be able to protect your head!"

"Could it be that Yun Guogong, who was just beheaded a few days ago, have you forgotten it so quickly?"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin was instantly startled.

is also said, Yun Guogong just asked about it a few days ago.

If you're still stubborn, there's a real chance you'll lose your head!

After Yun Guogong was beheaded, he searched his home, copied out hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all of them were confiscated into the treasury.

I've only evaded 14,000 gold on my side, and I still need to pay it if I should pay it!

Cheng Yanjin took a deep breath and said: "Okay, the eighth prince, the old minister will pay 14,000 gold in taxes, and in addition, compensate for the interest of 1,000 gold, and ask the eighth prince to forgive the old minister!" ”

"Well, good!"

Li Chengfeng nodded confidently, then turned his head to look at Wei Zheng and said, "Zheng Guogong, record Lu Guogong's back tax!" ”

"Yes, Eighth Prince!"

Wei Zheng laughed happily on his face, and wrote in that small book: Lu Guogong Cheng bites gold: Chang'an City Iron Mine, 14,000 gold in taxes, and 1,000 gold in addition!

"Eighth Prince, look, it's written!"

Wei Zheng handed the small book to Li Chengfeng to watch.

Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, the next one!" ”

"By the way, Lu Guogong, remember to send someone to send all 15,000 gold to my Zhenwang Mansion, if there is one less gold, I will come back to you to settle the account!"

"Yes, old minister, old minister, do as you tell me!"

Chen Yanjin immediately turned his head, looked at the housekeeper in his mansion, and said, "Steward Liu, go to the finance department, take 15,000 gold, and send it all to the Eighth Prince's Zhenwang Mansion!" ”

"Yes, Lu Guogong!"

Steward Liu knew that now the emperor and the eighth prince had begun to investigate tax evasion, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Cheng Yanjin's instructions.

However, just as Li Chengfeng was about to leave the Lu Mansion.

Cheng Yanjin ran over and said, "The eighth prince, the old minister, the old minister wants to report!" ”

"Oh? Report? Okay, who are you going to report? ”

Li Chengfeng looked at Cheng Yanjin with a smile.
