Chapter 382: Wu Dalang's First Wave of Trouble (Tax)
When Wu Dalang didn't come out, but he came out at this time, if he hadn't come out to make trouble, these ministers really didn't believe it.
But what will Wu Dalang do? These ministers are suddenly some... Expect.
According to Wu Dalang's consistent style, he doesn't take the usual path, this matter should not be simple.
Huizong saw that it was Wu Dalang who wanted to speak, and he also put away his anger, Wu Dalang is a person who can make him a lot of money, a shining cash cow, of course, for the cash cow, of course, it is necessary to take care of it.
So Huizong smiled and said, "What is Wu Aiqing's opinion on this matter?" ”
These ministers are really fed up with Huizong, can this guy still have a temperance now? is like a little lover to Wu Dalang, and he immediately becomes a harsh old master to them. The ministers expressed their helplessness...
For Huizong's good impression, Wu Dalang is also at ease, according to the system of the game, he is a kryptonite player, and he has filled Huizong's treasury with so much money, Huizong is still not good to him, like words?
So Wu Dalang said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask what is the reason why Song Jiang chose to rebel?" ”
Song Jiang's face shook, he had just been whitewashed now, Wu Dalang brought up the old matter again, and pulled him out to whip the corpse, this is really good...
Wu Yong, who was next to Song Jiang, was thoughtful, and seemed to think of something, but he didn't know very well, so he listened quietly.
Huizong did not refuse this, but also looked at Song Jiang and asked him to publish his... Rebellion testimonials.
Song Jiang stubbornly said: "The main reason is that there are too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are already poor, and the little money from farming is only enough to pay taxes." But fortunately, relying on the waters of Liangshanbo, we can still fish to make a living. ”
"But who knows, later the government stipulated that the entire 800 miles of Liangshanbo water area was owned by the imperial court, and stipulated that all the people who entered the lake to fish, pick lotus roots, and cut pu must be taxed heavily according to the size of the boat, and if there were any violators, they would be punished as thieves, and the poor peasants and fishermen could not afford to pay heavy taxes, and in the end they had no choice but to rebel."
Song Jiang said in the end, his tone was full of helplessness, this kind of oppression was unbearable for anyone.
The hall fell silent again.
The loyal ministers did not speak, they claimed to be loyal ministers, and they should have asked for the lives of the people, but when such a thing happened, what face did they have to speak?
The traitor didn't speak, these things are somewhat inseparable from them, there is a lot of money in their pockets, how dare they speak at this time.
Huizong didn't speak either, he... Speechless!!
However, Wu Dalang has something to say, and he has the qualifications to speak.
Wu Dalang said loudly: "Your Majesty, you have also heard, what is it that makes these powerless people embark on the road of rebellion and go to the abyss of sin, all this is not their fault, nor is it Your Majesty's fault, the fault is above the taxes." ”
"If the tax is not changed for a day, even if these people lay down their arms, their lives will still be miserable, and the people of the world are Your Majesty's people, can Your Majesty bear to see your own people live so hard?"
"Your Majesty, tax reform is imperative, as long as the tax is changed and the people live and work in peace and contentment, how can they take up arms and rebel? If the people are stable, Your Majesty will not have to send troops to suppress them, and you will invisibly save a sum of military spending, so why not? ”
"When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, my Great Song Dynasty will be able to recuperate, this is the road to enriching the people, this is the policy of rejuvenating the country, this is the theory of eternity."
"In this way, the army and the people are united, how dare the small country of Western Xia try to do wrong; In this way, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, how dare they go north to the Liao Kingdom; In this way, you can recover your homeland, surrender to the barbarians, worship all nations, and create a great cause for all generations. ”
"In this way, the foundation of eternity is all in taxes, please reformulate taxes for Your Majesty!!"
In the main hall, Wu Dalang's voice was endless, and the impassioned voice entered everyone's ears, and everyone was shocked.
They seemed to see that majestic picture, the Great Song Dynasty banner sweeping the land of Kyushu, what a magnificent picture.
Wu Dalang's words instantly ignited their blood, even if Huizong was a faint monarch, but the emperor was the emperor after all, such a great cause, how could he not be moved.
Huizong sat on the dragon chair, his hand tightly gripping the handle of the dragon chair, and his whole body was trembling.
Huizong gasped, the blood in his heart was boiling, rolling, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Huizong stood up, felt that the whole person had stood up a lot, and then shouted loudly: "Wu Aiqing is reasonable, tax reform is imperative, this is the road to enriching the people, rejuvenating the army, and strengthening the country." So what do you think about tax reform? ”
Hearing Huizong's words, the hearts of the traitorous ministers were completely cold, and the blood that Wu Dalang had brought to them just now no longer existed.
Changing taxes means that their income will be greatly reduced, which is cutting off their financial routes.
Of course, the traitors were reluctant to change the tax in their hearts, but Huizong looked like he had been brainwashed by Wu Dalang at the moment, and it was already imperative to change the tax.
So, what they can do now is to try to control the magnitude of the changes later, and not be too outrageous.
Anyway, in the eyes of traitors, they just have a good time, the people are some untouchables, and the untouchables have a cheap life, so what do they do if they live or die.
Li Gang walked out at this time, he was the head of the household, and he was in charge of taxation, so there was nothing wrong with coming out to take the lead at this time, besides, it was Wu Dalang's plan, and he still had to respond as a younger brother.
However, Li Gang still had some resentment in his heart, Wu Dalang didn't tell him in advance about such a big thing, he was not prepared at all, and now he was forced to drive ducks to the shelves.
Li Gang said loudly: "Your Majesty, in previous years, under the control of Liang Zimei, the finance was indeed a little short, and the treasury was not very full, but now it is different, there are farms, banks, funds, Taobao and other industries, and the treasury still has a surplus, and it is not impossible to reduce taxes." ”
Li Gang said that he didn't forget to blacken Liang Zimei, black Liang Zimei is not because he has a grudge against Liang Zimei, but because he uses Liang Zimei to elevate himself, the so-called no comparison is harmless, this comparison fully reflects Li Gang's ability.
This is the signal released by Li Gang to Huizong.
If it was before, Li Gang wouldn't be like this, but after staying with Wu Dalang for a long time, these things will be exposed to these things...
Farms, banks, funds, Taobao...
Huizong thought about it for a while, what the hell, these things seem to have been made by Wu Dalang.
Wu Dalang is really a cash cow, and in the future, we must vigorously support Wu Dalang's reform (to do things), and a reform (to make things) is a large amount of money into the warehouse, so that life will be much more nourished.
