Chapter Twenty-Four: It's the Smell of Treasure Money
Someone spends money to invite dinner, especially Zhu Laosi's grandson, Young Master Yang will naturally not be polite, order food, and must have something expensive, otherwise it will not give Zhu Gongzi face!
The corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth twitched several times, and finally waited for Young Master Yang to finish ordering, but he heard Young Master Yang point to the table where many entourages were sitting, and said to Xiao Er: "These tables are also based on this, and they are all settled by this Young Master Zhu." β
After the shopkeeper nodded and went down, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but glared at Yang Shaofeng several times: "These treasure notes are all mine, aren't you taking my money properly?" β
Yang Shaofeng said with a smile: "It's okay, eat first, let's talk about it after eating, I don't know how the wine and food here are, can it compare to the Drunken Immortal Building?" β
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but glared at Young Master Yang again: "Is it okay, it's all the smell of treasure money!" This time I went to Shuntianfu, if you don't tell me how to increase grain production and how to build roads, you will wait for me! β
Yang Shaofeng spread his hands rather indifferently, and said with a smile: "Look at it, how much silver is this, as for being distressed like this?" β
Pointing to the lobby of the restaurant, Young Master Yang continued: "The more people who eat here, the more money will be spent, and the more commercial taxes will be at that time, and the court will take advantage of it inside and outside." β
Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly and said, "What if the imperial court takes advantage? It's not that I'm taking advantage, it's that I'm spending more money! β
Yang Shaofeng said: "What, I feel uncomfortable that my money has been taxed by the imperial court and taken advantage of?" β
Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Zhanji still said honestly: "Yes, there are some. β
Yang Shaofeng smiled: "That's right. The imperial court collects taxes, but you don't see any real benefits, so you naturally feel uncomfortable.
But then again, those people were taxed by the imperial court, and their hearts were comfortable?
What if the imperial court will collect taxes to build roads and build schools? People can really see the changes around them and enjoy the benefits, will they feel uncomfortable? The so-called take from the people and use it for the people, and this is also here. β
Seeing that Young Master Yang had gone back to the road in a few words, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but retort: "You and I naturally know this truth, but do the people know?"
They will only think that it is the duty of the imperial court to build roads and schools, so how can they think about where the money of the imperial court comes from? Maybe you will be charged with harsh taxes, right? β
Yang Shaofeng said: "Yes, the people naturally don't know, so the court should let the people know." The son said, the people can, make it; No, make it known, so we should open up the wisdom of the people and set up more schools.
Of course, this brings us back to the original question, that is, is it necessary to give preferential treatment to scholars who are exempt from taxation and forced labor?
If there are more and more scholars, there will be more and more land that is exempt from taxation, and where will the taxes be collected at that time? What if you don't pay taxes? β
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "That's why there is a pilot in Yangzhou?" Why don't you just push it away in the whole Daming? β
Yang Shaofeng sneered: "Just push it away? After collecting taxes and then distributing the silver, the Tao in this is really what you think is one in and one out? Is there a chance to get up and down in it? β
Zhu Zhanji suddenly reacted and asked, "Something is wrong, you told me these messy things along the way, as if you were deliberately pointing at me, what do you want to do?" β
After being silent for a long time, Young Master Yang reluctantly smiled: "What do you think I want to do?" β
Zhu Zhanji was also silent for a long time before he said: "I think your current appearance, according to your words, is salted fish, eating it and waiting to die." β
After a pause, Zhu Zhanji continued: "But I don't think you should be like this, I always feel that you are actually arrogant, and I feel that everyone is drunk and you are sober, and you are just closing yourself." β
Seeing that Young Master Yang looked noncommittal, Zhu Zhanji suddenly became a little anxious: "I know, you know who I am, but what you know is only on the surface!" β
After sighing, Zhu Zhanji continued: "We are brothers who have worshipped, born on the same day and month in the same year, when we were children, we called one person grandpa, you are an hour younger than me."
Grandfather still remembers, he said that when he saw you, he remembered the past when Uncle Yang blocked the knife for him, and I can't forget the way you hugged him in the house and called grandpa when you were a child, I can't forget that you held a small wooden sword and said that you would expand the territory for him, and I can't forget the way we said we would be blessed and shared when we were messing around for two hours.
Don't look at me, I don't actually remember these things, and I can't see so deeply, my grandfather told me.
He said that you don't care much about anyone on the surface, but in fact, you don't look down on anyone in your heart, you always feel that everyone is drunk and you are sober, but you are afraid, you don't know what you are afraid of.
You know, I really treat you as a brother, more than the other uncles and brothers and even those brothers. β
Yang Shaofeng had already burst into tears in his heart - what can I be afraid of, I'm afraid of a neat family, bastard! Li Er killed his brother and slaughtered his brother for fun, and our grandfather is not a fuel-efficient lamp, bastard!
I knew that Lao Tzu had such a powerful backstage, and I still needed to be the prince of the court in the test? What kind of poetry do I need to make to scare? I'll just mess around slowly, bastard! Why didn't you say it earlier!
After taking a few deep breaths, Yang Shaofeng suppressed the agitation in his heart, stretched out his finger and pointed to the people sitting in the lobby, and whispered: "Look at who are sitting here, and listen to what they have to say later." β
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shaofeng, whose eyes were a little moist, and said with a confused expression: "What am I talking to you?" What are you talking to me? Do you even treat me as a brother? β
Yang Shaofeng laughed and said: "Of course it's a brother, the kind that is closer than a brother, it's a must!" β
If you hadn't lived thirty-seven, Lao Tzu would have pulled you to worship again, and it would have been the kind that died on the same day, the same month, and the same year!
Seeing that Young Master Yang said this, Zhu Zhanji's face also softened a little: "Then don't care about them for now, you have to tell me first, what do you want to do?" β
Yang Shaofeng smiled: "What do you say I can do?" When I come back from Shuntian Mansion this time, I will either be thrown into the Hanlin Courtyard or into the Yushitai, what can I do? It's just a matter of exhaustion.
Now I'm going to tell you all the problems I've found, and I've got the solutions I can think of, so you can take the time to think about them and solve them. β
Zhu Zhanji finally accepted Young Master Yang's statement - in fact, if Young Master Yang didn't want to say it, Zhu Zhanji didn't plan to ask further.
It's not easy to have a brother who doesn't have a stake, and it's so rare not to have to worry about him remembering his position all the time.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji listening to the conversation of those scholars, Young Master Yang also put his mind at ease, while drinking a little wine, he inquired with Lin Yu about his fiancΓ©e from time to time, and secretly observed Zhu Zhanji's face.
It's so funny, watching this baby's face go from white to red, then from red to black, and then to the ugly one that I don't know how to describe at all, until it finally returns to an expressionless calm, which is even more interesting than changing faces.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Zhanji didn't say that the food was full of treasure money, but felt that it was extremely difficult to swallow: "This is the so-called well-educated person? Is this the so-called pillar of talent? β
Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "Otherwise?" People are selfish, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, who doesn't think about their own selfishness? β
Zhu Zhanji stared at Young Master Yang and said, "What about you?" What are your selfish motives? β
Yang Shaofeng was silent for a long time, and said seriously: "My selfishness? I just want to be an honest landlord and live this life to the end, this is true.
Of course, by the way, I don't mind telling these rotten Confucians what a real scholar is, what a real righteous gentleman is, and what an excellent young man is! β
Zhu Jizhan looked at Yang Shaofeng again, and sneered: "You entered the officialdom, and you still want to go back to be a salted fish?" β
Yang Shaofeng nodded and said, "Of course." You see, I have offended all the scholars, I have offended the princes of the court, and I can't move an inch in the officialdom.
When someone impeaches me, I will resign in order to prove my innocence, will I be able to get out of officialdom perfectly?
When the time comes, I will go home and be an honest salted fish, and by the way, I will solve those messy problems for you, such as how to produce high grain yields, such as how to repair roads to be fast and good, such as how to get other people's money into our brothers' pockets. β
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "You think too much, there are people in the court who will impeach you, but there are also people who will protect you, such as Xia Butang, and your grandfather, how can it be so easy to let you go home as a salted fish?"
Don't think about those who have or don't, you can honestly be in the Hanlin Academy, after all, a real job to be in the Hanlin Academy is very different from those false positions, and it is almost the same to call a hidden appearance. β
Yang Shaofeng was full of confusion: "Someone can't impeach me?" β
Zhu Zhanji nodded with a wicked smile, the unhappiness just now dissipated a little, and when he turned his head to look at the wine and food on the table, he said again: "That's true." By the way, you'll be able to account for it later. β
When Yang Shaofeng looked at Zhu Zhanji with a confused expression, Zhu Zhanji said: "This is when you told me that if one person is unhappy and others are unhappy together, he only needs to bear half of the unhappiness, why not do it?" β
What the hell am I ......
This is the real self-digging and burying yourself, this bastard thing is learning and using it too quickly!
