"I know, I know! Let's get down to business! Liu Zheng planned to change the subject. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes!" Luo Sigong nodded, to be honest, he didn't want to talk about this with Liu Zheng, after all, Liu Zheng was an anti-thief, and it was really uncomfortable to talk to a thief about the ills of the imperial court or something.

Liu Zheng wanted to change the topic, which was exactly what he meant, so he said: "Before, General Liu said that Linqing was the Linqing of the imperial court, can General Liu elaborate on this!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Why not, I'm about to talk to Commander Luo about this!" ”

Luo Sigong made a gesture of please, and Liu Zheng said: "Linqing, it is not only the most important banknote of the imperial court, but also the most important economic town in Shandong. ”

"I don't feel at ease when such an important place is in the hands of others!"

Luo Sigong was slightly stunned, and said in his heart, you said that this place is so important, can it be put in your hands, and the emperor can rest assured?

Liu Zheng seemed to hear Luo Sigong's heart, and said with a smile: "Put it in my hands, the emperor must be uneasy, but ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng paused slightly before continuing: "However, I can pay double the banknote tax and goods tax to the imperial court Taicang every year!" ”

Luo Sigong looked at Liu Zheng in surprise and said, "Is this true? ”

"Naturally!" Liu Zheng chuckled and looked at Luo Sigong and said, "Since I, Liu Zheng, can give Chen Zeng and Ma Tang 400,000 taels of silver every year, I can naturally hand over 400,000 taels of silver to Taicang in the imperial court, or even more silver!" ”

Luo Sigong calmed himself down, and thought for a long time before he spoke again: "General Liu, this Linqing is not generally important to the imperial court, it is not only the world's first banknote, but also the world's granary, all the grain in Beijing is transported from here, such a place, if you come to ...... place."

Liu Zheng laughed and said: "Commander Luo, I said it, Linqing is the Linqing of the imperial court, I naturally will not interfere in too many things in Linqing, I only meddle in one way, that is, Linqing's banknotes!" ”

Seeing that Luo Sigong wanted to speak, Liu Zheng waved his hand to stop Luo Sigong from speaking, and then continued: "Commander Luo, listen to Liu Mou's words first!" I, Liu Zheng, am not the kind of fool who has grass in my head, I can't harm myself! I told you very clearly before, Linqing is too important, I can't let anyone harm Linqing! ”

"I control the banknotes, not only will I not collect heavy taxes, but I will not collect a penny of silver taxes!"

"Huh?" Luo Sigong opened his mouth in surprise, he was indeed shocked by Liu Zheng, if you don't collect taxes, what will you take to hand over double the tax silver to the imperial court? Linqing has 250,000 taels of tax silver handed over to Taicang in a year!

Luo Sigong, who had recovered after a long time, said slowly: "General Liu, is it too much to make such a joke?" ”

Liu Zheng stared at Luo Sigong very seriously and said: "No, no, Commander Luo, how can I joke about such an important matter, I really don't charge a penny of silver!" ”

Seeing that Liu Zheng didn't seem to be joking, Luo Sigong said suspiciously: "You are serious!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng nodded and said, "I'm serious, very serious!" ”

Luo Sigong was completely puzzled at this moment: "You don't collect goods tax and banknote tax, where did you get the silver to pay the silver to the imperial court?" ”

Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said: "This, you don't care, at the end of the year, I will pay the silver to the court, of course, I can also pay taxes in advance, and the silver will be handed over to the court at the beginning of each year, so that I will roughly say the number, and then you tell Jinshang everything I said, and let Jinshang make a decision!" ”

Luo Sigong nodded and said, "Okay, you say the number first!" ”

Liu Zheng chuckled and stretched out a hand, then clenched it into a fist: "This number, one million taels per year, the deadline is until I, Liu Zheng, are exterminated by the imperial court!" ”

Luo Sigong looked at Liu Zheng dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he come to his senses and said, "You, what you said is true?" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and said: "Of course it's true, I can make a contract with the imperial court, but I think even if I agree to it today, the imperial court will not make this contract with me Liu Zheng!" ”

Luo Sigong thought about it, as Liu Zheng said, this matter is too ridiculous after all, even if it is agreed today, the court will not be able to make this contract with Liu Zheng, so it can only come secretly, after all, if today's public opinion is very unfavorable to the court, those scholars in Jiangnan who are full of food and have nothing to do are clamoring for the court to send troops to destroy Liu Zheng every day.

Luo Sigong really wants to arrest all these fools, destroy your mother's destruction, you know all day long, you have the ability to abandon your pen and follow Rong, come and do a fight with Liu Zheng, you can survive and let Lao Tzu recognize you as your father.

"General Liu, I can tell Your Majesty about this, whether it can be done or not depends on Your Majesty's intentions!"

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty will agree!" ”

Luo Sigong was puzzled: "Why? ”

Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said: "Linqing is in Shandong!" ”

A very simple sentence made Luo Sigong understand, and then Luo Sigong smiled bitterly and said: "You have said so, what else does Your Majesty disagree with!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled, and then changed the topic and said: "Okay, since my business is finished, let's talk about Commander Luo's affairs for you!" ”

Luo Sigong's expression suddenly became serious, he understood in his heart what Liu Zheng was referring to, and he pondered for a moment before he spoke: "To be honest, General Liu has any magic method that can save my Luo Mou's life!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Commander Luo, it's over, it's over!" ”

Luo Sigong shook his head and said: "No, no, this is not too much at all, except for the Taizu and Chengzu periods, there have never been so many nobles who have died, and now eight have died at once, three future marquises, five future earls, even if they kill me and the old dog, they can't calm the anger of these people!" ”

Liu Zheng still smiled lightly and said: "In the war, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, not to mention that only eight people died, if I, Liu Zheng, are really more serious with them, let alone eight, it is normal for these twenty or so to die!" ”

Luo Sigong was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "General Liu, don't mess around!" ”

Liu Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'm just joking, just kidding!" ”

Luo Sigong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "General Liu, you must not make this kind of joke again, my old Luo really can't stand it!" ”

Liu Zheng laughed and said, "Commander Luo, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about this matter!" ”

Luo Sigong wrinkled his brows and said, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Liu Zheng smiled mysteriously and said: "Commander Luo, 'The bustle of the world is all for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the king of a thousand times, the marquis of ten thousand families, the king of a hundred generations, is still suffering from poverty' This is a famous saying, promise heavy profits, not to mention the death of eight future lords, even if they are all dead, they can still be solved with money!" ”

Liu Zheng bit the word "future" very hard, why can't Luo Sigong hear the hidden meaning? Which noble family has only one son? Of these eldest sons who died, which one of them didn't expect them to die early!

Now that they are really dead, how many people can't wait to hang up firecrackers and spend the night?
