Does Zhang Heling's own princely nephew understand? Of course, I understand, although not all of them, but I also have a certain understanding. For example, what he said, why don't you covet money, but Zhang Heling knows that when his prince's nephew makes money out of his own hands, he is not soft at all, and he is ruthless!

Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao also felt that it was almost the same, so he said with a smile: "Things are actually quite simple. ”

The more Zhu Houzhao said it lightly, the more Zhang Heling felt that this matter was not simple, and it was definitely the kind that dug a pit and buried himself.

"The imperial court has its own difficulties, and everyone knows it over the years, that is, the tax is insufficient, but it can't be levied, otherwise there will be chaos." When Zhu Houzhao said this, he sighed helplessly: "But the country is so big and there are so many places to spend money, you have to find a suitable source of money, don't you say?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Heling nodded, but the expression on his face became more solemn, tax? When it comes to taxes, there is no trivial matter.

Zhu Houzhao felt that the heat was almost over, so he said directly: "Some time ago, some courtiers had a twist and turn, and felt that the imperial court could collect some taxes that were not collected before, such as Zhuangtian. Bengong thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate, after all, Zhuang Tian was a reward from the imperial court, how could he collect taxes? If you really accept it, won't it be criticized? Uncle, do you say? However, the lack of national resources is also a problem. ”

"I've been wondering these days, is there a way to get the best of both worlds? It may be that Hongu is shallow, and he has never thought of any good way. ”

"Uncle, you are smart and changeable, this is something that everyone in the court knows, this palace wants to ask my uncle's thoughts, I don't know what my uncle thinks about this matter?"

What do you think? I just want to stand far away and hold my hands to see, although Zhang Heling has no expression on his face, but his heart has collapsed, it's over, it's all over, it's really his prince's nephew, if you don't dig a pit, this digging pit is a big pit, if you fall into it, then don't want to climb out, lie on the pit surface and wait to be buried alive.

Zhuangtian collects taxes, this is not a joke, it has been mentioned before, or the civil officials have mentioned it, but how dare the emperor agree? Look at the meaning of the prince's nephew, where is the meaning of asking yourself.

This is obvious, this is to let yourself be the first to advocate, and at the same time pull the nobles who have formed an alliance with them to express their position, they are for the country and the people, and they are willing to pay taxes on Zhuangtian, this is not forced by His Majesty, this is our own willingness, and it is a very positive willingness, the emperor can't stop that, if you stop me, then I will be killed.

Under such circumstances, Your Majesty could not watch us crash to death, so he had to reluctantly accept it, look, how perfect things are, and the monarch and the minister are harmonious.

But Zhang Heling also knows that those nobles will be willing? Don't make a fuss, don't talk about other people, how many farms are in your own house? It's true that there aren't many on the surface, but how much land has your family gotten in the past few years? Those are all embezzled and bought, and all of them have to be taxed, of course, it will definitely not cost 200,000 taels a year.

But he is not the first to do this, if he is the first to propose, those nobles must not hate themselves to death? At that time, he will not be a plummeting status, but will directly become a traitor to the nobles and relatives.

The popularity and status accumulated before were all exhausted, and they returned to their original shape overnight, and they were even worse than the original, thinking of this, Zhang Heling was about to cry.

raised his head and glanced at his prince's nephew, only to see him sitting there, looking indifferent, holding a teacup in his hand and taking a sip from time to time, looking very leisurely. Zhang Heling knew that he, the prince's nephew, had settled on himself. Obviously, this matter was planned by his prince's nephew, and Zhang Heling couldn't help but think of something that made him feel cold all over his body.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wasn't planning today a few years ago, right? The more Zhang Heling thought about it, the more this happened, and suddenly a cold air rushed directly from his heel to Tianling Gai.

After this idea was generated, the more Zhang Heling thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, you must know that his nephew of the prince was not to be seen before, and he lost his temper because of his interference in the affairs of salt politics. But then he began to support himself, and let himself continue to praise himself, I am afraid that at that time I will have the intention of using myself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heling didn't know what mood it was in his heart, it was very complicated, and he also figured out one thing, that is, he couldn't escape.

Since you, the prince's nephew, have set your sights on yourself, and since you let yourself do this, then you have to do it, and there is no room for bargaining.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Heling finally made up his mind, made up his mind, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks it's not a problem!" ”

Hearing Zhang Heling's words, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhang Heling expectantly, and exclaimed: "You are worthy of being an uncle, everyone in the court and the court calls you unparalleled, and sure enough, there are different reactions, hurry up, let the palace listen to it." ”

Not to mention anything else, his nephew's acting is really first-class, and he can't see any traces of acting at all, but Zhang Heling only dares to slander it in his heart, which he never dares to say, and he tries to make himself laugh more naturally, Zhang Heling then said: "The nobles are also dedicated to the country." ”

"Not to mention Zhuangtian's taxes, it is not a problem to destroy the family and relieve the difficulties, the minister is willing to take the initiative, and contact some noble relatives, I think they are also strongly in favor. When the time comes, we will write together to ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not decide to serve the country if you think about it. ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "Can the nobles and relatives be willing to do this?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, they are willing!" Zhang Heling didn't think about it, although his heart was dripping blood, his face still showed a look of dedication.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao nodded, but still opened his mouth and instructed: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, but there is one point, you can't force it, you must be voluntary, if you let this palace and my father hear that you forced them, then this palace and my father will not agree, you have to know it with reason, and move it with affection, understand?" ”

"Your Highness rest assured, the minister understands!" Zhang Heling agreed with a smile, but he knew in his heart that the bullshit was voluntary, if someone volunteered for this matter, there would be ghosts, and he was not voluntary, but did he dare to say it?

If anyone doesn't agree, then they will have their share in the next salt field subscription? Besides, aren't you really afraid of offending the crown prince and His majesty? Anyway, Zhang Heling was afraid.
