The more Huizong wanted to live in the future, the more he looked forward to his future life, and when he had money, he could build a tower of Babel, so that he could go to heaven and live forever.

This made Huizong very happy, with a lewd smile on his face, and his eyes lit up...

The minister below looked confused, why was this guy Huizong suddenly in a daze, and looking at this, it seemed that he was still thinking about something unsightly...

Now Huizong's feeling to these ministers is... Spring is rippling.

Wu Dalang's face shook, now that everyone is discussing national affairs together, are you alone there in a daze, is it appropriate?

Wu Dalang coughed twice and shouted, "Your Majesty..."

Huizong came back to his senses, his face was slightly embarrassed, but he still pretended to be worried about the country and the people.

"I was just wondering, how much should I lower?" Huizong said shamelessly: "Although I already have the answer in my heart, I still want to hear your Aiqing's opinions. ”

These ministers were simply stunned, why did Huizong become so stinky and shameless, it wasn't like this before.

It must have been learned from Wu Dalang, Wu Dalang is a very shameless person, and he has a bad stomach, Huizong is now considered to have gone astray.

Huizong said so, and these ministers could only express their own opinions.

Wu Dalang is an expert in bargaining, and said directly and loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to reduce it by half on the original basis." ”

Halfway??

it!!

Everyone's hearts were shocked for a while, even Wu Dalang's little brother felt that this was quite excessive, so that the people's lives were indeed good, but how could they live!!

Huizong shook his cheeks and gave Wu Dalang a look, as if to say: Wu Aiqing, don't make trouble...

The people in the traitorous camp naturally couldn't agree, and Yu Shen stood up.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu has money, of course he has no concept of money, and a reduction of fifty percent is a great burden for the country, and the minister feels that the reduction of one percent is already a great grace of the emperor."

For Wu Dalang, who opened his mouth widely, Yu Shen didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly came to deal with Wu Dalang with an iron rooster.

For bargaining, everyone understands that you have to go to extremes at the beginning, and then move closer to the middle, and finally everyone is happy.

Although Huizong has been on Wu Dalang's side many times, he must stand in line with Yu Shen this time, if it is really reduced by fifty percent, then he, the emperor, will not be a beggar, and will directly become a beggar, and it is estimated that the annual financial growth is negative.

So Huizong said: "Wu Aiqing, your fifty percent is indeed a bit excessive, I think Yu Aiqing said it very well, and it is almost done." ”

Wu Dalang pretended to have a helpless expression: "Alas, then I'll take a step back, okay?" ”

Yu Shen snorted coldly: "Since this is the case, then I will also take a step back, two percent, and it can't be lower." ”

"Okay, deal." Wu Dalang suddenly said briskly.

Yu Shen: "......"

All Ministers: "......"

Yu Shen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he felt as if he had been cheated by Wu Dalang, and Wu Dalang might be willing...

Li Gang is very helpless, he is the head of the household department, he hasn't opened his mouth yet, you actually set the tax, do you still have him in your eyes?

Huizong frowned slightly, in his opinion, two percent is also a lot, his financial income depends on the annual tax, and two percent is also a lot of silver.

Originally, there was a farm, and these things could just be a little more moisturized, but this would be reduced by two percent, and the farms, banks, and so on, all of them would be pasted upside down, and he wouldn't live a tight life again?

Huizong was a little hesitant, but he didn't understand much about financial issues, so he looked at Li Gang.

"Li Shangshu, does the reduction of two percent have an impact on the finances? You have to think carefully about this question before answering it, and if there is a financial problem, you are the only one who asks. ”

Huizong also knew that Li Gang and Wu Dalang were relatively close, but he was still worried that Li Gang would casually seconded Wu Dalang, and if there was a financial problem at that time, how would the country continue to operate.

Li Gang also knew that his answer now was quite a military order, and he would have to bear any problems in the future, but as Wu Dalang's younger brother, he had to support Wu Dalang's decision.

So Li Gang pretended to think for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, 20% will not have an impact on the finances, and it can still operate normally." ”

Huizong waved his hand and said slowly: "Since you Aiqing have no opinions, then it's decided." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers shouted aloud.

Regardless of whether Huizong is wise or not, anyway, after Huizong has made a decision, they always have to praise it.

The tax matter was over, and Huizong said again: "Do you have anything else to do with Aiqing?" ”

Wu Dalang immediately said: "Your Majesty, Song Jiang also said just now, another reason why they can't live is that the government arbitrarily increases taxes, and the minister thinks that taxes are only fixed to collect two taels of silver, such as fishing, lotus root picking, cutting cattails, etc., are the livelihood problems of the people, and they should be prohibited from collecting taxes in the future, so that the people can live a solid life." ”

Huizong thought about it for a while, he didn't seem to have gotten the money for these tax increases, and he had never heard of this kind of thing, it must be that some ministers made extra money on their own.

So Huizong said directly to Li Gang: "Li Shangshu, this matter will be handed over to you for supervision, and if you commit it again, you will be severely punished." ”

"Commandment." Li Gang said loudly.

The traitors dare not speak out now, and many similar taxes are made by them, the purpose of which is of course to get more money into their own pockets.

Now that they do this, it will be difficult for them to do it in the future, after all, Li Gang is Wu Dalang's person, and if they are found to be unclean, they will definitely be impeached by Li Gang.

The traitors can only swallow their anger, they can't stop this matter, otherwise it will be exposed that they did the increase in taxes.

Although everyone knows it, it can't be said on the surface.

The traitors are bitter in their hearts, and they have inexplicably cut off a way to make money, which is simply asking for their lives.

Of course, Huizong didn't feel distressed at all, anyway, the money was not his, if the money went into the treasury, maybe he would help these traitors, but these people looked too ugly, and they didn't even leave the soup to Huizong.

So Huizong directly changed the topic: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to play?" ”

The early dynasty has been open for so long, and Huizong is also a little tired, and he still wants to go back early.

The ministers glanced at each other, and everyone had nothing else to do, and then when they were about to talk together, Wu Dalang stood up again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

Huizong: "......"

Ministers: "......"

Song Jiang et al.: "......"

These people were stunned, why did Wu Dalang, who was doing things, still have something? Can't he just stop? What the hell are you going to do?

Lao Feng: Starting tomorrow, ten consecutive days, five watches a day. For the sake of my hard work, can you vote for me these days? Fight for it at the end, or I really won't be able to hold on. Thank you!
