Yin Fusheng led the way, and asked Chen Dadao to enter the mansion for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he arrived at the door, he noticed that there were two sedan chairs.

"Are there any other adults here?"

Chen Dadao glanced back and said with a smile: "Definitely." This is the intention of this official. Last time in the court, didn't the official elder mention that there was no sedan chair in the Yin Mansion. It just so happened that there was an idle one in the official mansion, so I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and sent it over. ”

Looking at this Chen Dao, he speaks as a "local official", without losing the majesty of the superior to the lower official. But his attitude is very polite, full of smiles, and there is no arrogance.

However, as soon as the sedan chair was delivered, it was obviously flattering.

"This ......," Yin replied, hesitating.

"It's just a sedan chair, and Yin must accept it. Otherwise, the official doesn't know how to be grateful. ”

"Gratitude?!"

"Well, if it weren't for Yin to speak out about justice above the court, exposing and criticizing the ugliness of the six departments, this officialdom, I don't know when it will be clear."

I want to thank me for helping him get promoted.

Yin Fusheng only felt that when talking to people in the officialdom, he really had to turn a few corners to understand the meaning.

Chen Shangshu was polite. The lower official didn't say anything, it was just because of the outspokenness of the official and several other adults. ”

"Don't be humble when you give in."

Yin Fusheng smiled, "Xiaguan is not humble, but ~, Lord Shangshu, you have also seen it." The place of Xiaguan is too small, even if you accept this sedan chair, you can't accommodate the sedan chair driver. ”

When Chen Dadao heard this, he glanced at the door of the Yin Mansion.

"I didn't think of that. Alas! The things in the eyes of these forces were actually arranged in such a place for Yin Qishi. That's not true! However, fortunately, after His Majesty's wise and Yin's Western mansion is built, at that time, Mo said that there are four palanquins, even eight, and they can accommodate it. ”

"How dare you dare, how can you use an eight-person sedan chair man, Lord Shangshu must not charge Xiaguan with such a crime."

"Hahaha...... joke, joke, joke. However, since the official of this sedan chair was delivered, he did not plan to take it back. As for the sedan chair man~, the sedan chair of this official has been sent, can there be less sedan chair man? ”

Chen Dadao said and instructed the steward Zhou around him, "From tomorrow onwards, arrange four people to come to pick up Lord Yin every day." ”

"Got it, sir." Steward Zhou bowed in response.

"Why is this so bothering Lord Shangshu?" Yin Fusheng said politely.

"Eh, how can you talk about being polite? You and I are ministers in the same palace, and we have our own inconveniences, so we should help each other. You don't have to thank you for giving things. ”

Yin Fusheng bowed, "My lord's kindness, then, the lower officials are better to obey than to be respectful." ”

"Hmm." Chen Dadao nodded and pointed to the door, "Isn't Yin going to invite this official into the mansion?" ”

"Well, the lower officials are slacking off. Adult, please. ”

The two entered the hall before and after, and Yin Fusheng ordered Li Yan'er to serve tea.

Subsequently, Chen Dadao got straight to the point, "The main reason for this official's visit this time is to listen to the change of the tax system, what are Yin's opinions?" ”

"My lord is now a secretary of the household department, and the matter of the tax system must have been advocated for a long time. The subordinate is just a small military department, and it is inconvenient to get involved in the affairs of the household. ”

Yin Fusheng couldn't see Chen Dadao's intention to come to him for the time being, whether it was to curry favor, win over, or conspire. So, there's always room to speak.

Chen Dadao couldn't see Yin Fusheng's thoughts. Seeing Yin Fu's voice like this, he opened his mouth and said: "Now that the treasury is empty, Your Majesty is very worried. When the official first took up the post of Shangshu, he knew that he had a long way to go. The tax system is related to the country's social security, and it is natural for the official to find a talented person to give advice. ”

"Hehe, Lord Shangshu has a good reputation. In fact, as the adults said before, the thirty taxes of the commercial tax were changed to twenty taxes and one of the taxes, and the lower officials thought it was very good. ”

At the mention of this, Chen Dadao's face showed a trace of embarrassment, "Hey~, such a change, it seems feasible at first glance, but when the official thinks about it carefully, it is not so easy." ”

Yin Fusheng's brows twitched slightly.

Want to backtrack?

Chen Dadao observed his words and said, "Of course, no matter how difficult it is, this official must try his best." However, this official is only afraid that if it cannot be realized for a while, it will make His Majesty unhappy. ”

Can't do it for a while?

It's possible.

After all, the commercial tax has been enforced for too long.

Yin Fusheng thought for a while, "Don't hide it from Lord Shangshu and the lower officials, but there is another way, but I don't know if it's feasible." ”

Chen Dadao waited for this, his eyes lit up, "Oh? Yin gave things quickly, what can be done? ”

"Then you have to Chen Shangshu, find a way to persuade Your Majesty~" Yin Fusheng smiled slightly, "Open the sea ban." ”

"Uh, ah~?!"

Chen Dadao was shocked when he heard this.

The maritime ban policy began with Zhu Yuanzhang. Moreover, after the implementation of the maritime ban policy, it has indeed prevented many foreign enemies from causing nuisance.

How could an emperor who had no courage agree to open the sea ban?

Besides, even if the emperor agrees, the officials will not agree.

In the long run, once the persuasion is successful, the emperor will approve it. He was attacked by foreign enemies because of this, and he Chen Dadao could not afford to bear the guilt.

"It's even more unlikely. The policy of sea ban is conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty. This matter is not good, no......" Chen Dadao said a few times in a row, shaking his head and waving his hand, "If this is the case, it is not feasible to increase the commercial tax." ”

"My lord, I heard that Westerners are very fond of the fermented tea of our dynasty. Traffickers abound along the south-eastern coast. If the sea ban can be lifted, this part of the tax alone will be enough to make your lord receive credit in front of His Majesty. ”

Hearing "Linggong", Chen Dadao was a little moved. But after only a little thought, he shook his head in opposition.

Yin Fusheng raised his eyebrows, it seems that he is a new corrupt Confucian.

"Since the adults think it's inappropriate, there is another way for the lower officials."

"Let's hear about it."

"Adults can ~, add some other taxes."

"Other taxes?" Chen Dadao thought for a while, "You mean, just like a few years ago, to increase the salary?" ”

"No, no, no......"

Yin Fusheng was startled, and said in his heart, what kind of thinking logic is this. When it comes to raising taxes, think about the poor people.

"Your Excellency misunderstood. This kind of tax is only imposed on the poor people, and even if you squeeze their bones dry, you will not be able to collect much tax. For the treasury, it is only a small number. ”

"That Yin gives things means ......"

"In this world, in addition to Shinong industry and commerce, there are some other trades. It is not considered to be in the stream, or even wandering on the edge of good and evil. But they made a great deal of gold and silver. If you can add this part of the tax, I believe that the treasury will soon be full. ”

"Oh? And such a business?! Tell me about it! ”

Chen Dadao's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly.

Yin Fusheng hooked the corners of his mouth, and said word by word: "Gold powder building." ”

"Ah~" Chen Dadao was shocked again.

Yin Fu said: "According to the officials' knowledge, among the private Qinglou, it is still common to earn 10,000 gold a day, and there are more than a dozen brothels on both sides of the Qinhuai River. Taxes are calculated on a daily basis, registered, or per capita of fat fans, and ...... per month"

"Wait, wait, wait......"

Before Yin Fu finished speaking, Chen Dadao frowned tightly and looked disgusted.

"Yin is very talented, how can he say such unbearable words."

"Uh~, did the lower official say something wrong?"

"Alas, Yin gave such a thing, and he must not say anything to anyone again. How can you not even let go of such a kind of flesh and money? ”

Yin Fu was stunned for a moment, and there was a string of ellipses above his head.

Oppressing the poor and noble? Those who rob the rich and help the poor are unbearable!?
