Li Chengfeng smiled with satisfaction, then opened the door of the Zhenwang Mansion and said, "Then, please send all the money for the tax back to my Zhenwang Mansion!" I'll give it back to my father the next day! ”

"Okay Eighth Prince! Come on, give me the money and carry it all into the town king's mansion!"

As a result, a group of ministers ordered their subordinates to return all the Datang taxes they had lost money to Li Chengfeng.

At least the Eighth Prince is still easy to speak, and if the emperor Li Shimin blames him, they won't be able to eat and walk around.

Now that the palace is cracking down on tax evasion, no minister dares to bend the law for bribes.

A few days ago, Li Chengfeng successfully judged the case and beheaded Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo, and this matter not only caused a stir in the entire palace, but even spread in the mouths of the common people.

But in the final analysis, Yun Guogong was beheaded, wasn't it because of a money word?

If Yun Guogong hadn't fainted and stole the 100,000 disaster relief gold, maybe he wouldn't have lost his head.

"Come on, come on, put them all in my backyard!"

Li Chengfeng put his hands on his waist, looked at the groups of people, and brought their subordinates to pay taxes.

Wei Zheng was on the side, using a pen, to record their tax payment records.

After these ministers put all the money into the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion, they said goodbye to Li Chengfeng.

During this whole day, there will be some ministers who come to the Zhenwang's mansion intermittently, first admit their mistakes, and then make up for all the tax evasion.

Li Chengfeng is also very talkative, just pay the money.

Without you, I wouldn't be able to escape my eyes.

Originally, there was a squire who evaded 5,000 gold in taxes, but he only paid 500 gold? This was found out by Li Chengfeng, and even let Wei Zheng send someone to reward the squire with 100 big boards.

Since then, everyone knows that their tax evasion will never escape Li Chengfeng's eyes.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is getting late.

Li Chengfeng and Wei Zheng were in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion, looking at a pile of gold chests.

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but snort, so much money, if it is converted into a name coin, it will be hundreds of millions of yuan.

Wei Zheng also looked at it, and said: "Eighth prince, you are really good, in less than two days, you actually asked those ministers to personally pay all the money that was evaded from taxes!" ”

"Hmph, they're thieves! And I have their handle, if they don't take the initiative to send them over, when I go to them one by one, I won't say good things to them! ”

"Even if they are smart, they took the initiative to send it to the door! lest I go looking for them one by one, and I will be busy with my time, and I will be hot and tired! ”

Li Chengfeng grabbed a handful of gold and weighed it in his hand.

Wei Zheng opened his mouth and laughed and said, "Haha, of course! Let's ask now, who doesn't know that the Eight Emperors of the Tang Dynasty is a prodigy in the sky, extremely smart, and the first genius in the world! ”

"Okay, okay, don't be a sycophant, everything that should be counted is counted! Zheng Guogong, tonight, you can go and show this account book to my father, and ask him to bring the guards tomorrow and come to my town palace to withdraw money!" ”

"Okay Eighth Prince, the old minister knows what to do!"

Just as Wei Zheng wanted to leave, he suddenly stopped again, frowned tightly, and looked at Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Anything else? ”

"This ...... Old minister, there is indeed something I want to report! Wei Zheng replied.

"Say!" Li Chengfeng said.

Wei Zheng said: "It's such a eighth prince, in this small bookkeeping book, basically all the ministers who owe taxes have been returned, but there is still a minister who didn't come!" ”

"And another? Who is it? ”

Li Chengfeng frowned, there is still a minister who dares not to come to pay taxes? Do you want to go to his house yourself?

Wei Zheng touched his beard and said, "Back to the Eighth Prince, this minister is none other than the head of the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, the eldest grandson Wuji!" His family has a ranch, three iron mines, two copper mines, and a gold mine, which can be described as the richest minister of the Tang Dynasty except for the emperor! ”

"What? It turned out to be the eldest grandson's family, ah? Well...... Okay, I got it! ”

"Eh, okay Eighth Prince, the old minister will retire first, and hand over this bill to the emperor first!"

"Okay, there you go! As for the matter on the eldest grandson Wuji's side, you tell my father that I will solve it personally! ”

"Well, but the Eighth Prince, the power of the eldest grandson family is very big in the palace, and it is also very difficult to mess with, you are still better, don't offend them!"

Wei Zheng said worriedly.

Li Chengfeng smiled: "Hmph, I am the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty, will I be afraid of his eldest grandson Wuji?" It's their fault to owe taxes, anyway, this prince will personally go to the eldest grandson's mansion tomorrow!"

"Well, then!"

……

After Wei Zheng retired, he left the Zhenwang Mansion.

Until night falls, Li Shimin is here again?

Li Shimin, accompanied by Wang Dequan, the chief eunuch, came to the palace of the king of Zhen.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Wang Dequan shouted, and Li Chengfeng hurriedly walked out of the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion to greet Li Shimin.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Hahaha, no courtesy, Feng'er, you are really my right-hand man!"

Li Shimin laughed heartily, with a hint of doting on his face.

Li Shimin said: "Feng'er, I didn't expect you to solve the problem of tax arrears of ministers in just two days, I am very pleased!" ”

"Of course! It's only right to repay debts! And tax arrears and tax evasion are a violation of the law of Datang, as long as I find their loopholes, who of them dares not to pay back? ”

"Well, that's what I'm saying, I've worked hard for you, Feng'er!"

Li Shimin was very satisfied with Li Chengfeng's approach.

Just now, Wei Zheng had already told Li Shimin all about the tax collection.

He also showed Li Shimin the bookkeeping book.

After Li Shimin read it, he was shocked in his heart.

I don't know if I don't look at this, but when I look at it, it's like having money to pick it up!

These court ministers, in the past ten years, have owed as much as 300,000 gold?

This money is enough to dig a grand canal to divert water from the south to the north, right?

Even if Li Shimin knew that they were seriously evading taxes, he didn't expect that Li Chengfeng would be able to recover 300,000 gold.

So at this moment, Li Shimin's heart is very satisfied.

Li Chengfeng looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, is the money in the treasury not enough?" ”

"Yes, it's enough! But the treasury cannot be less than a third of the reserves, is it prepared! In the event of a major drought this year and a major flood next year, who can say clearly that this is not a man-made disaster? ”
