When I got home, it was very late, Yun Qiao and Xiao Nu sat in the small garden and waited for them, after learning that Jiang Yunfan had not eaten, Xiao Nu went to make some for him, Yun Qiao accompanied Jiang Yunfan to sit outside the main room, chatting.

The wind blew the leaves in bursts, and from time to time in the slender trunks**.

Under the summer night, it was cool, there were only three people in the vast courtyard, it seemed very quiet, only the wind was piercing back and forth, and the moon was watching in the sky.

Only half of it was exposed, and Chang'e sat on it.

"Master, the meal is ready." The little slave came with a food box and placed it on the stone table.

The aroma was fragrant, and Jiang Yunfan's stomach couldn't stop 'cooing'.

He was so hungry that he ate it in a whirlwind.

The little slave and Yun Qiao cleaned up, Jiang Yunfan returned to the house, and asked Yun Qiao to recruit some talents tomorrow, it is best to find a few women to take care of the home.

In the evening, Yun Qiao came to the good night with the little slave......

Because he wanted to go to the early court, Jiang Yunfan got up very early, and after washing, he went to Fengtian Gate.

After the bell rings, line up to enter.

"Let's take a look."

The emperor asked the prince to show the ministers the chapter, which was written and the actions of Zhou Tiru and Wen Ren. The punishment was also set, Zhou Tiru was exiled, and Qian was exiled. Wen Ren had already hanged himself and sentenced to a whip.

Jiang Yunfan looked at Li Junqing, and Li Junqing shook his head helplessly.

His Majesty is about to close the case, only Wen Ren hanged himself, only he will check it himself.

After all, there was only one witness, but the verdict was that he hanged himself, with no external injuries and no traces of fighting with others, perhaps the person heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty." After everyone finished reading it, it was naturally a song of praise.

"Get up." The Emperor told the people to rise. He took out a piece of the spirit and shouted;

"Qian Shilang."

"The minister is here."

One person stood up, and Jiang Yunfan knew that he was Qian Jinglong.

"You said that the business tax is too heavy, and it should be changed to 1 out of 50, right?"

"Yes." Qian Jinglong said: "Your Majesty, the people take one out of thirty, and the people can't afford it now, so it should be changed to five to one, or the commercial tax should be abolished to reduce the burden on the people." Now the treasury has relied on other tax revenues to collect more than it can out. ”

"Jiang Yushi, I think you seem to have something to say." The emperor said to Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan's face is cloudy, do I have it? My expression hasn't changed, huh?

But he came out and said: "The minister thinks that the tax of thirty is too little, and those businessmen have already become rich and rival the country, as for the ordinary people, the minister thinks that it can be appropriately reduced, but how to reduce it has to be carefully considered." ”

"Then what do you think, how should this commercial tax be collected?" The Emperor asked curiously.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Yunfan arched his hand, turned around and glanced at everyone, he was already ready to offend these interest groups, and said loudly: "The minister thinks that there should be six out of ten for commercial taxes." ”

"Ridiculous!"

"Ignorance!"

"Stupid!"

“……”

All the ministers looked at Jiang Yunfan with mockery.

"Your Majesty, the minister sees that these people are ignorant." Jiang Yunfan said with a smile: "A businessman, if he earns 10,000 taels a year, with the current tax, he will only collect 330 taels. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this ...... Got too much? ”

"Qian Shilang, don't you know how to count?" Jiang Yunfan looked at Qian Jinglong with a sneer, "I only charged them three hundred and thirty taels, this is miserable?" ”

"Hmph" Qian Jinglong snorted coldly: "I'm talking about ordinary people. ”

"No, no, no." Jiang Yunfan stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of his eyes and said: "What we are talking about now is those people who are blessed, as for the ordinary people, let's wait and talk, what I am asking now is whether 10,000 taels and 330 taels is too much or less." ”

"You ......" Qian Jinglong stared at him, he didn't expect someone to come out to stop him, and looked at the few people around him carefully.

"Qian Shilang, say it quickly." Jiang Yunfan urged.

Qian Jinglong Qidao; "How do you know, they can all earn 10,000 taels."

"I'm talking about, for example, as far as I know, many families have more than that's the number a year." Jiang Yunfan looked at Qian Jinglong with a smile, "I don't know how much Qian Shilang earns a year, I don't know how much his family income is, I heard that Qian Zhiliang is also from Shilang's own family?" ”

"You ......."

"Qian Shilang, please hurry up and answer the official's question, whether it is more or less." Jiang Yunfan stared at his eyes and pressed the Dao.

"Less." Qian Jinglong said coldly.

"Okay, then let's talk about the common people."

"Small merchants and hawkers, according to the rules, forty taels are not taxed."

"If a small businessman is one hundred taels a year, then the tax is three taels."

"If it's exactly fifty taels, then I didn't charge a little five taels."

"May I ask Qian Shilang and the ministers, is this too much?"

"Much." Jiang Yunfan asked coldly.

"The treasury is full, and commercial taxes are dispensable." One person came out and laughed.

"Fart." Jiang Yunfan walked up to the man and asked, "My lord, are you enough to wear?" ”

"Enough." The man didn't know why.

"What about the ministers?"

"Naturally, it's enough."

Jiang Yunfan sneered and said, "Your Majesty, since all the ministers have enough clothes, then cancel their salaries, and only send supplies in the future." ”

"You ......." Everyone wanted to come over with him and fight hard, the salary was not high, you dared to reduce it, and just as you were about to scold him, you heard him:

"Well, that's what you said, and since it's already full, why bother asking for anything else?" Jiang Yunfan didn't want to give them a chance to scold himself.

"Can we compare with the treasury?" One person came out and said, "We still have such a big family to support, you can pay for the next person." ”

"That's right. That's right," the crowd agreed.

"There are fewer people in the country?" Jiang Yunfan arched his hand like an emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you are in charge of the people of the world, and it is not enough for the treasury to fill him." Doesn't it cost money to raise an army? Doesn't it cost you anything to update your gear? Does it cost nothing to raise you? In case there is a war, the sea of money spent will go, you guys......" Jiang Yunfan was about to taunt, but after thinking about it, forget it, you can't give it to the public enemy so quickly.

"In that case, then it can be reduced to 1 out of 50, why should it be 6 out of 10?"

"Because I don't want you to harm the country." Jiang Yunfan said cheaply.

"What did you say?" The crowd was furious.

"Jiang Yushi!" Even the emperor was a little angry, he was too much.

Can't you play too much?

Jiang Yunfan turned around and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, those gentry of the noble clan in the world rely on the low collection of commercial taxes to collect money in a big way

It's almost rich, and it's okay to be fine, but in troubled times, the consequences are ....... ”

"Don't be alarmist here," Qian Jinglong pointed at him and said angrily: "I think you just want to make the world chaotic." ”

"Hahahaha." Jiang Yunfan said with a smile; "Why are you in a hurry, is it because you have received the benefits of those merchants, so that you will write a book to reduce taxes, so that those merchants can enrich their majesty?"

"You're talking nonsense." Qian Jinglong's beard flew up.
