Shen Shilang said:

"Even if the cashier is really beneficial, how should it be collected? If you want to determine the accurate land endowment, you need to measure the land in the world and verify the population. ”

Guo Shilang replied:

"The number of acres of household registration used by the imperial court is still measured by Emperor Gaozu when he established the dynasty, and it has been more than 200 years, how much the population has increased, how much land has been newly reclaimed, and how much has been wasted.

Shen Shilang says:

"If you want to measure the land, you have to send more officials, which is an expense; There are speculative people who want to conceal the land in their household registration and pay less taxes, so if someone escapes, they will become homeless, and with my years of experience, this number will only be more and not less, and what should the court do when the time comes? ”

At this time, Liu Zhan coughed and said:

"What Shen Shilang said is reasonable, these things Zhang Shoufu has already thought about, if there is a shortage of manpower required for measurement, he will call on the town army from all over the country to help deal with it, and this cost will not increase much even if it is in the annual military salary. As for the concealment of the escape and other incidents, they are all trivial matters, and when the tax system is reformed and the people realize the benefits of the new tax law, they will naturally come back to farming, and Lord Shen does not have to worry. ”

Seeing Liu Zhan speak, Shen Shilang glanced at Liu Zhan sideways, and said with a smile:

"Liu Shangshu said it well, Zhang Shoufu also told me, the details of this can only be known after it is done, and it is too early to mention it. It's just that there is one point that the officials are not clear, why in the new tax law, Jiangdong and Jiangbei have the highest tax rate in the country? The tax silver to be paid per mu of land in Jiangdong is more than three times that of the tax per mu in some counties in the northwest? Jiangdong is the capital of the Son of Heaven, and how can such a heavy tax reflect the emperor's love for the people? Do you want to drain Jiangdong's blood by leaning such a heavy tax? ”

Guo Shilang smiled:

"Lord Shen was born in Jiangdong, and he is a famous landowner, and the manors are all over the country, so of course he is distressed. Lord Shen only saw the heavy tax burden in Jiangdong, but did he ever think that the land in Jiangdong is fertile, the rain is abundant, and each mu of rice can harvest 600 catties of rice in one season, and the land in Jiangdong is a mixture of rice or rice and wheat, and the annual harvest can reach more than 1,000 catties per mu. However, the wheat planted in the dry fields in the north has a yield of only 300 catties per mu, and most of the fields can only harvest one season a year, and there is no habit of raising silkworms and drawing silk. If the tax rate is the same in such a comparison, it is strange that the tax collected in the place with less output is the same as in the place with more output, so isn't it subsidizing the richest part of the country with the tax of the poorest place in the country? ”

Lord Shen smiled:

"Mr. Guo is worthy of being born in the north, and he understands the customs and customs of my Taizheng north thoroughly, and it is really a good idea that collecting taxes can collect the money of the poor and supplement the rich."

郭大人 says:

"Lord Shen, if the tax rate in the east and west of Jiangxi is the same, and fifty catties are collected per mu, then for every household in the northwest, one-sixth of the year will be taxed, and the people in Jiangdong will only receive a dime a dime. The sage has a cloud: the gentleman does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, just now Lord Shen also said that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, so the tax is collected to make up for the world. ”

Liu Zhan also says:

"Lord Shoufu himself is from Jiangdong, and his ancestral business is all here, so don't he understand the stakes in the tax rate he personally set? The gentleman asks for himself and then asks for others, the head of the chapter is like this, why can't Lord Shen give up his ego to achieve the world? ”

Shen Shilang shook his head, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

King De, who was sitting in the hall, had been listening patiently for a long time, and Wang San and Li Si next to him were beating his legs and rubbing his shoulders while giving fruit to tell jokes, but it seems that King De is still troublesome.

Finally, after Liu Zhan finished speaking, King De could finally speak,

So King De reclined on the Taishi chair, put his feet on the table, took the grapes handed by Wang San, and said while eating:

"What kind of taxes are you talking about, fields, hukou, it's too annoying. Liu Zhan, oh no, Liu Shangshu, I was sent by the emperor to take care of things, you just tell me how I should manage this matter now, there is no need to say so much. ”

Liu Zhan frowned slightly when he heard King De say this, but there was nothing unpleasant, just thoughtful. Liu Zhan thought for a while, his eyes turned in his sockets, and then said:

"Since this is the case, it is much simpler, in fact, there is no trouble, the emperor ordered the prince to be in charge of the affairs of my household department, the criminal department, and the ritual department, to put it bluntly, I just listen to the emperor's decision. The details of such a trivial and complicated matter as tax reform are naturally agreed upon by the lower officials and their colleagues, and you only need to sign or stamp a seal on the final concert, the prince. ”

King De changed his posture, lay sideways on the chair, rested his head on one armrest, put his feet on the other armrest, crossed Erlang's legs, and said:

"So if I stamp it, I'll agree?"

Liu Zhan nodded, and said with an almost flattering smile:

"Yes, Lord Wang, you just need to stamp it."

Suddenly, King De jumped up from the chair and picked up the awakening hall is a beat, this time it was really unexpected by everyone present, breaking the gentle but somewhat lifeless atmosphere just now, Lan Ziyi, who was in a trance, and Liu Zhan, who had just spoken, were frightened by this moment.

After Wang De finished patting the awakening hall, he held on to the table and pointed at Liu Zhan and scolded:

"Okay, you stinky reader, think you're amazing? Think you're smart enough? Think I'm a pig? What do you mean by 'trivial things you can discuss with your colleagues'? Well? You tell me? What do you mean by me? Well? Say, make it clear to me, speak! ”

King De spat behind the table, pointed at Liu Zhan and asked sharply,

Liu Zhan couldn't resist it for a while when he saw King De jumping to scold the street like this, and said with a squeaky whimper:

"This, this, King De, please listen to the explanation."

King De didn't have the heart to give Liu Zhan a chance to explain, but continued to scold the street:

"You stinky readers, just like Gonggong Long said, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, sages and sages, and ideals are how to set up the emperor and take the throne well, I just came to the household department and you told me to just stamp, why am I one of those indiscriminate knife and pen officials? That's what you're here to stamp you? ”

Although King De scolded fiercely, the most important thing in Lan Ziyi's hearing was the sentence of Duke Long scolding the officials, Lan Ziyi thought to himself that Duke Long said this kind of thing to King De, obviously the relationship between the two was not ordinary, and the occasion when Gong Long and King De said these words should not be a formal occasion, it seems that when King De was young, the celebrity supervisor, especially Duke Long, had a very huge influence on King De.

Thinking of Father-in-law Long Lan Ziyi and thinking of the scene blocked by a group of officials in the lobby of the Criminal Department at this time yesterday, Father-in-law Long should have been speaking for himself at that time, but in the end he abandoned himself and wanted to protect King De, Lan Ziyi also understood that he was just a pawn for Gonggong Long, King De was important, and Lan Ziyi could be abandoned at any time for King De. It's just that King De's own quality is probably not so good, and he betrayed Gonggong Long with a sentence just now.

Originally, after seeing Zhang Zhongtang, Lan Ziyi decided to be loyal to King De, and when King De said that he leaked his mouth just now, Lan Ziyi seemed to say something to stop it, but after yesterday's incident and the fact that King De just arrived in the lobby for no reason, Lan Ziyi was really disheartened and didn't want to talk to King De, although he still wanted to do his duty to give advice to King De, but this meeting really didn't have that mood.

After hearing what King De said, Liu Zhan had a complicated expression on his face, and others couldn't see what Liu Zhan's ideal was for a while, and Shen Shilang next to him also frowned with Liu Zhan, but Guo Shilang looked relaxed and waited for things to develop with a smile.

Liu Zhan replied:

"Lord, the ruler should be like the Beidou, in his position and the stars arch over, of course, you can also grasp the small things if you want to be in power, but the prince has limited time and energy, if you waste it on the details, how can you make a decision for the emperor? What's more, the prince just said that the household affairs are cumbersome, and you don't bother to listen, and the lower officials are also thinking about the emperor and simplifying your work. As for what Gonggong Long said, the lower officials also asked King De to read more sages and teachings, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains. Since ancient times, eunuchs have interfered in politics, and there is no one who does not disturb the dynasty, although Gonggong Long is the master of ceremonies, but it is too quick to leak out of the fox's tail when he speaks, to say that our group of saint protégés want to overthrow the emperor, then his inner court commander so squeezed out our group of scholars Doesn't he want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the world? Don't listen to one person. ”

When King De heard Liu Zhan say bad things about Grandpa Long, he was so angry that he pointed at Liu Zhan and said:

"You, you, you dare to say that Gonggong Long is a eunuch, and that he leaked a fox's tail, you are so bold!"

Liu Zhan listened a little inexplicably and said:

"Although Gonggong Long is the leader of the inner court, he is a eunuch after all, if what King De said is true, he has committed a big taboo by talking like that, and he dares to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the minister, such a serious crime can't be said without a few twists and turns, why do you want to speak for Gonggong Long?"

King De Road:

"Liu Zhan! Don't be alarmist here, tell me big truths. The emperor asked me to take charge of the ministry, but you asked me to just stamp it, you just want to set me up and let me be an ornament! Now I will be toyed with by you between applause, and when I become the emperor in the future, won't I be deceived by you ministers all day long? Let me tell you, the first thing I vetoed about this tax reform was that it was not passed. I'm King De, I have the final say, I won't give you approval if I don't want to approve it! ”
