Lu Zifei looked at Zhang Fangping intently and said: "General money, monthly pile money, don't tell me that I haven't heard of these three names, you have been a prefect for several terms." ”

Zhang Fangping said with a bitter face: "Why do you kid love to expose scars, these three are stains that the imperial court can't wash away, now that you have entered the ranks of nobles, how do you know so clearly about the taxes of ordinary people." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The kid has nothing to do in Pang Zhuan, and he has learned that Jingzhao Mansion has experienced war and chaos, and there are no messy taxes, but they all existed before, and they are only temporarily reduced." ”

"You kid, don't stand and bury me and the three envoys without shame, the total system of money is just that, a tax of 30 wen is levied on 1,000 wen, their losses are still within the scope of bearing, the monthly pile money is because the Northwest War is critical, and the court can't come up with a penny, what do you say, if you don't give money to the soldiers, who will work for you?" Zhao Zhen said with a dark face.

Lu Zi had to ignore and said, "What about the pre-borrowing?" What is the difference between this and killing chickens and taking eggs? ”

Zhang Fangping said: "I've talked about it here today, I might as well tell you the real situation, in the year of Qingli, that is, the year you came back from the Northwest Battlefield, the imperial court borrowed a lot of money from big families in order to pay the soldiers and rewards, isn't it normal to borrow in advance?" Not everyone is like you. ”

Lu Zifei said: "I expected the imperial court to be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be difficult to this extent, I think everyone has an unshirkable responsibility, what is the reason for today's situation, there are not many agricultural taxes, why are the people still miserable, can you explain it to me?" ”

Zhang Fangping and Zhao Zhen were silent, this problem is still too little land to pay taxes, and the people below are hiding from the imperial court to open up wasteland or they deceived the people who measured it when they were last measured, you have to say that Zhao Zhen doesn't know, Lu Zifei won't believe it if he is killed.

"Didn't I say it just now, now is not the best time to measure the land, you have to give the court and adults a little time to relax, you can't become a fat man in one bite." Zhao Zhen looked at the radical Lu Zifei and said.

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Won't you be overwhelmed?" The kid is well prepared today! ”

Zhang Fangping said to Zhao Zhen with great vigour: "Your Majesty, some tea, I still don't believe it, I have lived for most of my life and said that I am just a milk baby, the old man, I am out of it, today you have all the big moves, you persuade me, I will support you in the future, this deal is not a loss!" The emperor is a witness. ”

Lu Zifei said with great interest: "What kind of support is the adult, you can be more detailed, if I am moved, maybe there will be a lot of ideas to make a fortune in my mouth." ”

Zhang Fangping said with a look of wisdom in his hand: "Li Lin once got drunk in Mingyue Tower on the sea and said that you want to open a thing called a bank, I don't know what he does, but in principle, I think it is similar to Qian Zhuang!" ”

This is really about Lu Zifei's weakness, the jurisdiction of Qian Zhuang is just within the authority of the three envoys, if you want to be a bank, without the support of the three divisions, you will really be unable to move an inch.

"Oh, Ji Xiang knows a lot, I plan to cooperate with the emperor in this matter, I think you can not give me face, but you must give the emperor a little face!"

Zhang Fangping said: "Boy, don't think that you can only make a lot of money by cooperating with the emperor in this world, sometimes the emperor doesn't have the reality that we came, do you understand?" ”

Lu Zifei was thundered by Zhang Fangping's words, you are robbing his business in front of the emperor, and you still look like you are upright, who gave you the courage, Liang Jingru?

"You mean you can give me more deals and conveniences?"

Zhang Fangping said: "Of course, you are now very confused why I dare to say this in front of the emperor!" Your cooperation with the emperor is a private relationship, this money into the inner treasury is a matter of course, you cooperate with the three divisions, then it becomes cooperation with the entire court, although the money is the emperor's, but the truth in it is different. ”

Lu Zifei agrees with Zhang Fangping's words, this is the height is different, and the depth of the problem is not the same, in the long run, it is more beneficial to cooperate with the three divisions of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the short term, it is still best to cooperate with the emperor, but

"Calculations, good means, good intentions, easily led me astray, the bank I plan to go two years later, now we are talking about taxes, don't change the topic."

Zhao Zhen said: "There is so much foreshadowing in front, say what you want to say, compared to the third envoy Zhang Aiqing, I think I know you a little better, what do you want to draw out of the agricultural tax?" Today's conversation will not be known to a fourth person. ”

Lu Zifei looked at Shangguan Wen, and the hidden meaning was that you see that there are already four people who know about this.

Zhao Zhen held his forehead and said weakly: "Shangguan is my house slave, it has nothing to do with you, I have already taught him a lesson in the last time, I said that I would not know that I have this confidence, how can a big man be so careful." ”

Shangguan Wen took this opportunity to say: "Hou Ye is more responsible, in the past, the old slave did not understand the rules, I swear here that I have no intention of targeting Hou Ye, I will compensate you." ”

All right! Everyone is like this, if you still don't persevere, it won't look good, Lu Zifei said: "Yes, the emperor still understands me, and after talking about it for so long, I just want to use the agricultural tax to introduce the commercial tax with the largest annual income in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhang Fangping said: "The current commercial tax is also very high, basically reaching 1.5 points out of ten, and no matter how high it is, businessmen will give up doing business, which is more terrible than pre-borrowing." ”

The ancients still looked down on merchants in their hearts, and merchants had a lot of wealth in their hands, and it is estimated that they were all stealing fun! Later historians have said that it is not for nothing that the Song Dynasty was economically prosperous and commercially developed.

Lu Zifei said: "If it were me, I would choose three out of ten, and I would pay five for ten taxes for some individuals, and it would be levied once a year as I just said, and I would dare to guarantee that the number of businessmen would not decrease but increase." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "What are you crazy about, ten taxes and five, you are sorry for what you said, aren't you forcing people to death?" ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Your idea is too ruthless, they even lost their capital in ten taxes and five, it doesn't work at all, there is no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, although you are young and smart, but you have experienced too few things." ”

Lu Zifei said: "You two don't want to say that my idea is not good, did you hear my words clearly?" It's 10 taxes and 5 taxes for certain goods, and I didn't say that as long as it's a business, it's 10 taxes and 5 taxes. ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Ten taxes and three are also an astronomical amount!" There are so many things involved in this, I can't imagine how much of a sensation this news will bring, and I haven't even thought about it. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Ji Xiang knows that Xifeng wine is my business, and it is actually the emperor's, so do you know how much profit Xifeng wine makes?" If the price of grain falls, there may be a profit of 500 percent. ”

Zhang Fangping calculated in his heart how much profit 500% was, Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Zifei and wanted to swallow him in one bite, how can this kid have a bad idea, if you want to collect taxes, you will collect other people's families, what is the matter with collecting your own, is it because your brain is broken?

Zhang Fangping's eyes were bright enough to stab Lu Zifei, he changed a chair, sat a little closer to Lu Zifei and said, "Tell me carefully, listening to what you said, I feel that this matter is promising." ”

Lu Zifei said: "The kid defines this kind of goods as luxury, that is, things that can only be consumed by rich people, you can hear from the word luxury, the profits of this kind of goods are still very considerable, of course, to be defined as luxury, it must go through questionnaires, research, and discussion, and cannot be blind." ”

"What's in your little head! It's really like that, when you say this, the places we ignored before can always be found out, yes, I also have a twenty-eight-year-old daughter at home, how about it, think about it, it's no worse than the daughter of his Cai Xiang family, I'm the third envoy, he's just a servant of the imperial history, the difference, um"

Lu Zifei was stunned, do these bigwigs do things like this? Can a woman really decide certain things? I'm afraid it won't work here in Lu Zifei, relying on women to tie up men is the most incompetent performance!

Zhao Zhen snorted and interrupted their conversation, and Lu Zifei said: "I'm really curious, a huge imperial court will have no money, Your Majesty, what about the recipe for making refined salt and white sugar from me?" ”

Zhao Zhen didn't say anything, Zhang Fangping said sarcastically: "The emperor used these two recipes to reward the ministers?" ”

Lu Zifei looked at Zhao Zhen blankly and said: "Your Majesty, you are a bit of a tyrannical thing, salt was originally a monopoly of the imperial court, but the profits of refined salt are also a lot!" Not to mention white sugar, I remember that in Western Xia I exchanged a pound of sugar for a lot of big sheep? Properly managed, bring the emperor an income of 10 million yuan every year, and do whatever you want. ”

Zhang Fangping said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you think that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are still your Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Zhen said confusedly: "It's not the Zhao family, does Zhang Aiqing have a different opinion?" ”

Zhang Fangping said: "Since it is the Zhao family, then the emperor can't save this kid in his hands, as the third envoy, I still know a little bit about the money in your treasury, you need to give benefits to the country and the people now." ”

So you're waiting for me here? It's because I see that my inner library has a little family background, your eyes are red, forget it, don't worry about them, he is right, this country belongs to the Zhao family!

Lu Zifei begged for mercy: "The little inventory in my stomach has already been squeezed out by the emperor, you still want to find another master, and I still want to take the top prize in next year's spring?" When I got back today, I closed my door and started to stab my head. ”
