At this time, crying is useless.

Wang Yue had already pressed the knife on Zheng Gu's neck, you have to collect this tax, and if you don't collect it, you have to collect it. And if you can't collect it, there will be a disaster of killing!

"Lord Wang, I, I'll pay you the bottom, it's not that I don't collect taxes, but this tax is really not easy to collect!" Zheng Gu's face was full of misery, "Lord Wang, there are many immortals in our capital, how common is it to cut meat from nobles!" If you annoy them, you won't have my good fruit to eat! ”

Wang Yue looked at Zheng Gu, and after a while, he turned around and took two steps outside, "Zheng Fuzun, you don't want to do it, I'm not reluctant, I'll go and say to all the officials of Shuntian Mansion now, Lord Zheng has no ability to be Bao Qingtian, if anyone can collect the business tax, who is the Shuntian prefect, I will personally take him to meet Your Majesty and ask for an ......appointment."

Zheng Gu is stupid, Wang Yue, you are too much!

"Zheng Fuzun, you can bet that I can't do it, how about it?"

"Not how!" Zheng Gu cried directly, who didn't know that the famous lackey scholar. Jia Yong relied on Wang Yue's support to rise to the cabinet.

Pavilion elders can recommend it, what is a prefect!

Zheng Gu is really honest.

"Master Wang, I, I told you the truth...... In fact, when I was in the previous dynasty, I did it! ”

……

Wang Yue and Zheng Gu went to Chongwenmen.

Looking east along the moat, there is a very large temple, called Taiping Palace, commonly known as Pan Tao Palace.

Due to its close proximity to the moat, the picturesque scenery attracts countless tourists.

The spring waves are green, the soft soil is paved with red, a hundred plays are competing, the embankment is in the song, the clothes are fragrant, the spring breeze is shaking, and the three miles are xu. It's a wonderland on earth.

In winter, the moat is another scenery, frozen in winter, with wooden beds, inlaid with steel bars, pulled by people or dogs and horses, the speed is like flying, really enjoying.

In addition to the scenery, Chongwenmen has a more important role, that is, the only way for canal goods to enter Beijing.

"When the first emperor was the emperor, he set up a tax card at Chongwen Gate, and the eunuchs in the palace were responsible for collecting it."

Wang Yue looked around, there was no trace of the tax card, so he said in a low voice: "Why is it gone?" ”

As soon as Zheng Gu grinned, Wang Yue immediately knew it.

It was definitely abolished by Yang Tinghe again, and it will be praised as a reform of maladministration.

"The imperial court has lost a lot of business taxes because of this, right?"

Zheng Gu shook his head.

Wang Yue was shocked, how many goods entered Beijing every day? How much is it worth?

How can there not be much business tax?

"Master Wang, I won't lie to you, here can only provide tens of thousands of taels of silver to the palace every year, which is pitiful. The real bosses were privately divided by the eunuchs, and they swallowed more than ten times as much as the palace! ”

Wang Yue frowned, "What about the first emperor?" Does he not care? ”

Zheng Gu sighed, "Of course the first emperor also took care of it, he scolded the eunuchs several times, and as a result, several Da Jue decided to send yellow croaker to the first emperor in March every year, and winter bamboo shoots and whitebait in October. ”

Of course, Wang Yue knew that Zheng Gu didn't dare to lie to himself, but this thing was really ridiculous!

The dignified gateway to the capital, the unique Chongwenmen tax card, only more than 40,000 taels of silver sent to the palace is simply an insult to people's IQ!

The tax system of the Ming Dynasty is really full of loopholes.

Everyone regarded the court as Tang monk meat, scrambling to get off the knife, and eating one was uglier than the other.

But then again, the eunuch swallowed ninety percent and left one percent for Zhu Houzhao, but when it came to Yang Tinghe, he directly abolished it, not to mention, and was publicized as a moral policy!

Writers' imagination is limited, but reality can always exceed people's imagination.

"Mr. Wang, you also know that this tax card is invalid, and naturally someone will share the profits...... I really don't know how many immortals there are behind it! ”

Wang Yue glanced at him and chuckled, "Zheng Fuzun, you didn't get involved, did you?" ”

Zheng Gu's face is all green, or spring green, glass ......, "Master Wang, whether I Zheng Gu is honest or not, put it aside first, just the fat of this capital, when will it be my turn to eat?" ”

Wang Yue pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The gods are better, but the little ghosts are difficult...... Zheng Fuzun, you are also this watchdog, it won't be no good at all, right? ”

Zheng Gu said angrily: "Master Wang! Since you're asking this, I'll fuck you out...... When the eunuchs were in control of Chongwenmen, they also sent some big yellow croaker to Shuntianfu or something, but now, we can't catch it! ”

"Then why are you still against taxation!" Wang Yue shouted: "They have gone so far, you Zheng Fuzun will only be a grandson?" What are you afraid of? Head to face, who is not a life! You are afraid of those immortals and nobles, but now the situation is different, Your Majesty even copied Xishan. ”

"How many people in the court are gearing up, wanting to eradicate traitors for the Son of Heaven, Zhongxing Daming!" Wang Yue said unceremoniously: "Let's Shuntianfu, Wanping County, the yamen is small, and the strength is weak...... On the other hand, we have nothing to lose. On the contrary, those people have a big family and a big business, do they dare to touch us? ”

"As the prefect of Shuntian, you are a parent official, not a little daughter-in-law of others. Hooray! Toss! stabbed the sky, and the first one to crush to death was the big one. How is Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding? Honestly not? Do you want to let those princes try it and see how much stronger they are than Marquis Wuding? Eunuchs, let them come too, as well as the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the Chinese officials...... Let them all come, I want to see how capable they are! If they can convince the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager Zhangsheng, I will count them as capable! Otherwise, get out of the way! I'm not used to them! ”

"From now on, they should be afraid of us! Let the brothers straighten their chests, let's do things, as long as we don't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, no one will dare to touch us. Zheng Fuzun, go out and ask, are the brothers willing to be scolded and angry as grandchildren? Tell the big guys, it's time for us to enforce the law impartially! With the support of the Son of Heaven, what are you afraid of? ”

Wang Yue kept talking, talking to Zheng Gu......

Frankly speaking, Zheng Gu was a little tempted, maybe Wang Yue had a point...... But the question is who knows if the Son of Heaven can always support it, in case the Son of Heaven changes his mind, won't he die without a place to be buried.

Zheng Gu was still hesitating, and suddenly there was a neat roar outside!

"Fuzun, Master Wang is right! Listen to Mr. Wang! ”

"We don't want grandchildren!"

"The adults should be Bao Qingtian, and the small ones are the dynasty Mahan! Fight with them! ”

"That's right, we're just a bad life, and we're fighting with those nobles!"

……

These servants are screaming, the civil officials are too ugly, and the eunuchs also send big yellow croaker to the big guys, but you don't leave anything, in this case, let's overturn the dog food bowl!

You can't eat it!

When things came to this point, even Zheng Gu was stupid, he was still hesitating, and all his subordinates were fooled by Wang Yue.

If you don't agree to them, maybe these things will rebel against themselves!

"That's it! That's it! The old man will give up this old life and go crazy with you! ”

Wang Yue looked at Zheng Gu who was forced to a dead end, and a faint smile appeared on his face, his experience was indeed not rich, and Zheng Gu could just make up for it.

After he took over, he decisively gave an order to Daxing County to mobilize the three yamen officers to quickly rebuild the Chongwenmen tax card, verify all the goods that passed, and collect taxes according to the value of the goods.

There is no doubt that this action has attracted a lot of scolding, if it weren't for Wang Yue's presence, it would not be enough for them to tear it up.

"Master Wang, the old man's ability is only so great, if they want to kill someone, please ask Master Wang to take refuge!"

Wang Yue laughed, "Zheng Fuzun, you don't have to worry, but well, you have to improve this tax method a little." ”

"How can it be improved?" Zheng Gu asked curiously.

Wang Yue said with a smile: "You give all the goods that have paid taxes a copy of the official certificate...... With this, no one is allowed to tax them repeatedly, otherwise, Shuntianfu will have to take action! ”

Suck!

Zheng Gu was taken aback, he seemed to understand Wang Yue's intentions.

"I said Master Wang, are you saying that only we can collect taxes?"

Wang Yue asked rhetorically: "Can such a big thing as taxation be ordered?" ”

Zheng Gu thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Master Wang, if you do this, the other yamen will be mad!" ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "But we have the support of the businessman!" Zheng Fuzun, do you think this deal has been done? ”
