"Li Aiqing is here?"

Zhu Youzhen had just left the court, and after eating something, Li Xiu arrived. He smiled and said: "I have listened, as soon as you arrived in Nanzhen, you will make drastic rectifications, and the atmosphere will be completely new!" ”

Li Xiu turned his head and said with a smile: "It can't all be relied on them, if they want to relax their military discipline, it is all because of Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "Where did Aiqing's words come from?" ”

Li Xiu hurriedly replied: "Jinyi Wei is ordered by the emperor and has the responsibility of patrolling and arresting, while Nanzhen is responsible for the military discipline of this guard, and now they have nothing to do, that is, there is nothing important for the Jingshi." Isn't all this because of the power of the Holy Lord, so that there can be such a stable situation? ”

Zhu Youjian listened to his words, but he didn't react at first, but when he thought about it, he laughed, pointed at him and said, "You, you, this compliment has to be so good!" ”

Li Xiu smiled and bowed, without admitting or denying it.

Whether it is the faint king or the holy lord, they like to listen to some flattery. Sycophants are an art, and if they are overdone, they will leave a flattering impression. If it's too obvious, it will also look contrived. The best results can only be achieved if they are just right.

There is no real peace and prosperity, and no one can do it throughout the ages. Does Zhu Youzhen know?

Of course you do!

But as an emperor, especially a diligent emperor, what Zhu Youzhen wants is political clarity and peace in singing and dancing. And now he is working hard for this, so he naturally needs the affirmation of others.

Li Xiu's ass was impartial, he didn't shoot the dragon's legs, nor did he shoot the dragon's waist, but hit his arms and scratched his itch.

Zhu Youzhen was happy, everything was fine.

Li Xiu saw the right time and put forward his plan.

Zhu Youzhen listened to his words and pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Your proposal is not bad, but you can increase taxes, will it make the people complain?" ”

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty must also know that Weichen's family also has business. As a businessman, if you want to increase my business tax, you are naturally reluctant, this is human nature. ”

Seeing Zhu Youzhen nodding, Li Xiu continued: "But Your Majesty doesn't know, the traders may have a meager profit from their business, but the big businessmen can still afford it, maybe in a bad year, the traders' lives will be a little sad." It's not like there's going to be a big problem. ”

Li Xiu didn't dare to shake out the businessman's profits, which would make Zhu Youzhen feel that the businessman was richer than him. In this way, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will collect a large amount of commercial taxes, and the life of the merchant will not be easy.

The big businessmen in these years have many official people behind them. Once you shake the bottom out, you have no benefit, and you offend the businessmen all over the world, then you will die.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it seriously, thought it was true, and when he saw him stop, he hurriedly urged: "Go on." ”

Li Xiu was relieved and said, "Emperor Taizu Hongwu once set a commercial tax of thirty out of one, and now although it has increased, it is not too burdensome. And the imperial court is now at the time of using soldiers, and ordinary people rely on growing food to make a living, so it is naturally not appropriate to collect more taxes. Let's set up an additional banknote customs in Chongmen and collect an extra commercial tax, which will not cause major problems and replenish the national treasury, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

"That's a great offer!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded again and again after hearing this, but said with some hesitation: "I think it is very feasible, but I am afraid that the officials in the DPRK and China will want me to compete with the people again." Hmph, the imperial court is now using troops on a large scale, and the soldiers are often underpaid, but they do not understand my difficulties at all, which is really hateful! ”

Li Xiu hurriedly said: "Because of this, Weichen wants to share his worries and solve problems for the emperor and do his part. At that time, the minister saw that the captains of Nanzhen were really leisure, so he thought of asking them to do something practical for the emperor, and then he came up with this idea. ”

I really didn't see the wrong person, this is my good courtier!

Zhu Youzhen was greatly moved, but he was embarrassed: "I will discuss this matter at the court meeting tomorrow, but I am afraid that it will cause opposition from the ministers." ”

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has done his best to worry about the subjects of the world, and they don't take Your Majesty too seriously!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was even more moved when he saw him crying out for himself with righteous indignation. He smiled and said, "Go and wait for news, I approve of your proposal, you have done a good job!" ”

After Li Xiu retreated, Zhu Youzhen frowned and said, "Cao Daban, you, is this person really so loyal?" ”

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, whether he has any selfish old slaves is not sure. However, according to the old slave, this Li practice is very decent, and he is still loyal. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and ordered: "You send someone to take a trip, so that Wen Tiren can support this matter tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Huachun hurriedly responded. I was surprised in my heart, the emperor had never been so decisive before, this Li Xiu was very good, and a clever mouth made the emperor make a decision.

Li Xiu walked out of the palace, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, and a meaningful smile was hooked.

I'm afraid it's done!

Li Xiu knows very well that Zhu Youzhen is short of money, very short! And he wanted to be a holy king, pacify the civil strife, drive out the foreign captives, but the soldiers often made trouble, how could he disapprove of his proposal to increase taxes?

Li Xiu is so keen on this matter, and the reason for this is that he himself is short of money.

Chongmen's tax revenue ranks among the country's. Collecting taxes in Chongmen is a "good or bad"!

If Nanzhen Fusi can set up a banknote pass under Chongmen, he and the brothers in Nanzhen will naturally be able to get some oil and water.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all making money, and it is a fool not to make it themselves!

Commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty were extremely low. As long as you don't extort money and set the tax just right, there will be no big problems.

Anyway, there are still seven years, so if you make more money in the capital now, you won't be tied up in the future.

Li Xian was walking down the street when he suddenly saw a "thief caught by officers and soldiers" being staged in front of him.

In front of them, two men in short strips were running desperately. Behind them, several wolf-like brocade guards were desperately chasing after them.

Li Xiu smiled and shook his head, isn't this the gang of people in Nanzhen?

These brocade guards are simply tigers and wolves. Usually I can't see any movement, but once the cage is released, it is a dance of teeth and claws, catching whoever bites whom!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two thieves to catch up. Several brocade guards rushed up and punched and kicked them, repaired them fiercely, and scolded: "I'll let you run, you can run for Ye again?" ”

Li Xiu didn't bother to care about them, anyway, these people are too idle now, so it's good to let them move their muscles and bones, and they can also take it with them to rectify the security in the capital. (To be continued.) )
