Chapter 409 Bragging is also taxed
Fei Xuechun said: "Those who don't rely on four or six have never done their own work, and they always blame those who work hard. β
Tang Zhangwei said: "The funniest thing is that Tang Zhaozong's taxation of those servants was levied on the basis of the figures they bragged about during the banquet. β
In order to exaggerate their income, they often exaggerate their appearance fees and revenue capacity during banquets.
In order to please Tang Zhaozong, those tax collectors with ulterior motives let the servants pay taxes according to the number of bragging, most of the servants are uneducated, where have they seen this, these people are leeks, lambs, and they are slaughtered.
These people have been ruined, some of them have gone bankrupt, some have been hanged, if you want to say pitiful, this group of people is really pitiful, but what's the use of being pitiful, no one sympathizes with you.
Those people in the Tang Dynasty were brainwashed, and they yelled at the tax collectors who levied and extorted violently, and those clear-eyed people could only be cynics.
Seeing the crazy behavior of the people, Tang Zhangwei couldn't help but lament: "When will the people of Datang mature, why are they always so naΓ―ve?" β
Fei Xuechun smiled and said, "It's okay to be immature!" It's not fun when it's mature. β
Tang Zhangwei said: "In a Tang Empire, if only a part of it is so easy to be ignited, then it is not a bad thing, if everyone is so naΓ―ve, then it is not good for you." If these people remain so naΓ―ve, then the future of our Tang Empire will be worrying. β
Fei Xuechun said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are not naΓ―ve, they just have nothing to do with themselves, they just hang high, you think about those bastards eating and drinking well, and how can you think about these ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, so these people of the Tang Dynasty have some rebounds, and when they have the opportunity to make a move, it is normal to attack those Tang people." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "I don't like to see this situation very much, originally our Tang Dynasty Lingren did not have an advantage in the face of vassal countries, Fusang Lingren in overseas provinces, and Silla Lingren who could sing and dance. In addition, the servants of the Eastern Roman Empire, there will also be the servants of the European provinces, when Tang Zhaozong acted indiscriminately, so that those servants were sacrificed to the sword, and he relied on extortion to accumulate a large amount of wealth, the situation of our singing and dancing and performing arts in the Tang Dynasty was in jeopardy. β
Fei Xuechun said: "These bastards are rice buckets themselves, and they have to be willing to let others become rice buckets like them." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "It's not the first time these people have done this, you should get used to it, I'm just worried that when Tang Zhaozong relied on blackmailing people, he amassed a lot of wealth." What exactly does he want to do? β
Fei Xuechun said: "What Tang Zhaozong wants to do, he just wants to restore the headache-inducing reactionary aristocratic rule, so that those naturally noble beasts continue to bully the heads of the people." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "What you said makes sense, Tang Zhaozong gained more and more power and extorted more and more money by inciting the people of the Tang Dynasty. These bastards are extorting money from the people every day. β
Fei Xuechun said: "It's a pity, these people are so stupid, they were sold and helped to make money, these people are really pitiful and hateful, I see them, I hate to cut these people with a thousand knives." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "Those servants are really pitiful, Tang Zhaozong has money, which is nothing more than expanding armaments and squandering. You see, the Buddhist monks kept a low profile for a while, the Taoist masters were silent for a while, and the high priests of the Holy Cross Sect were also silent in the Tang Dynasty and the African provinces of the Tang Dynasty. However, now the price of the head pillar incense in the Buddhist temple has skyrocketed, the price of the Taoist masters' rituals has also skyrocketed repeatedly, and those expensive distilled liquors have been cheap, but ten Kaiyuan Tongbao can buy a catty for customers. Now two or three thousand yuan are out of stock, and I don't know who is drinking. β
Fei Xuechun said: "Whoever is drinking, it is the nobles and tax collectors who went with Tang Zhaozong, as well as those bastards who get rich by exploiting the people and merchants, as well as exploiting the people. β
Tang Zhangwei said: "Those tax collectors and tax collectors don't produce, I really don't know that it was those stupid people with sick brains who raised them so high. β
"Why do these bastards want to make merchants and servants untouchables and openly advocate heavy taxes on them," Fisherchun said. β
Tang Zhangwei said: "In any era, it is an irrational behavior to levy heavy taxes, and then use the people's fat and ointment to eat and drink and consume desperately, and this is the precursor to the destruction of the country." β
Fei Xuechun said: "Tang Zhaozong is also the emperor and symbol of the Tang Dynasty, how can he take risks and take a profit for those people!" β
Tang Zhangwei said: "Those bastards, they have sinister intentions, they tossed a good Tang Empire full of holes, and now they want to come up with a moth, I don't agree, I resolutely don't agree." β
Fei Xuechun said: "Many servants have written protests against Tang Zhaozong's arbitrary taxation. In particular, his braggadocio about being taxed, and his public encouragement of whistleblowers, is really bad. β
Tang Zhangwei said: "This era is a great era, but after an emperor like Tang Zhaozong became the governor of a province in West Africa, he began to make repeated rebellions, and I must stop him." β
Fei Xuechun said: "If you can stop Tang Zhaozong's misdeeds, you'd better do it early, otherwise after a long time, you may not be able to control him." β
Tang Zhangwei said: "You mean that Tang Zhaozong is secretly organizing the army. β
Fei Xuechun said: "Isn't this the lice on the bald man's head obviously? β
Tang Zhangwei said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely remove Tang Zhaozong's threat as soon as possible." β
In the Tang Empire's West African provinces, Zhu Wen was perhaps the only one who was happy, and he said to the Zulu leader Xie Dinggan, "Our opportunity has come." β
Xie Dinggan, the leader of the Zulu people, said: "How can you see it? β
Zhu Wen: "You are stupid! Tang Zhaozong's heavy taxation will definitely make the people unhappy, as long as we take advantage of the situation, so that the people who follow us are destined to be numerous. β
Xie Dinggan, the leader of the Zulu people, said: "What you mean is that we are now putting a fire in the dilapidated house of the Tang Empire, so that the entire Africa of the Tang Empire may fall into our hands." β
Zhu Wen said: "That's right, let's get started!" β
When Tang Zhaozong must have imposed heavy taxes on those braggarts, he must not have imagined that imposing heavy taxes on braggarts would bring about any dangerous ending. However, Zhu Wen and the Lingren, and the Zulu leader Xie Dinggan, with the disgruntled African tribes, quickly taught him a lesson.
