On a quiet teahouse.

A couple of old men were drinking tea.

"Your Majesty has been getting more and more obsessed with playthings recently, and there are many battles outside the border, and there is almost a decisive battle, but Your Majesty can't even go to the platform, how can it be good if it goes on like this" An old man took a sip of tea and took the lead in saying, making a start for this gathering.

"What Elder Wang said is right, Recently, His Majesty has been obsessed with mí playthings, and he has been with those tools all day long, which is really not for the monarch, I should all advise him to go on like this, it is not my blessing of the Ming Dynasty." came an appropriator, and the topic was quickly discussed.

"Yes, my Da Ming finally came out with a holy master, if it is so decadent, it will really be my Da Ming's catastrophe," someone chimed in.

"Your Excellency is right, Your Majesty has been busy with building roads, building houses, and doing some tricks every day lately, and to be honest, although these are important, they are far from the road to governing the country, and we should ......persuade them more," someone continued.

“…… Alas, have you ever heard of this, speaking of road construction? Your Majesty intends to set up a business and let this business undertake the construction of roads, what do you think of this matter? The topic of ......" has been peeled off layer by layer, and finally put it into practice, and the general talk just now is just the beginning.

As soon as this topic came out, the eyes of everyone present obviously lit up.

"What Lord Zhang said, but the forty-mile road from Tongzhou to the capital? It is said that His Majesty intends to build this road well, and use that oil residue that is not afraid of water or pressure to build the road, and the cost is very expensive...... "Someone immediately broke the news. This matter, now, has become a hot discussion in Beijing, without him, the emperor came up with a new thing, this time to build the road, not as in the past, by the imperial court to engage in work for relief, but by the imperial court to establish the standard of road construction, the emperor out of silver, the merchant is responsible for the specific construction, those road construction workers, is not the same as before, not to do coolies, but real work, there is money to take, even the materials for road construction are huā money bought, this matter, has become the latest piece of féiròu in the city of Beijing, féi to féiròu which can no longer féi.

"But isn't it, besides this road, and that road? Speaking of which, this road is related to the lifeline of my Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed necessary to repair it well, the food and material use of millions of people in the capital have to rely on this road to transport, Your Majesty repaired this road, and it is indeed for the country and the people...... "Speaking of specific things, the wind immediately changed, just now it was still an idiot plaything, and now it has become for the country and the people, saying that the emperor's plaything is a sign of his own high wind and bright festival, saying that the emperor is for the country and the people, it is very simple, looking at féiròu drooling, I want to take a bite.

“…… Ahem, what do you think of this businessman's undertaking of road construction? Someone immediately got the conversation back on track.

"How else can you see it? Originally, this year's disaster, the imperial court was ready to provide relief to some of the victims, but now, His Majesty wants to play a fresh huā, not let the imperial court chā, but let the merchants bear the responsibility of road construction, and those workers who were affected by the disaster are employed by the merchants, isn't this nonsense? Therefore, His Majesty's heart to build roads is good, but unfortunately, he took the wrong road, blindly believing that merchants can do everything, how is this possible? Therefore, in this matter, it must be divided into two to look at it, the road should be built, but the way to build the road, whoever builds the road, His Majesty is confused......" This person unceremoniously criticized the emperor. The book is updated in real time DU(5) 8.сΟm

"Lord Li is serious, be careful that the wall has ears, and it is better not to move your words, Your Majesty Shengming, this is a universally recognized ......" Someone immediately reminded that today's emperor is not an ordinary emperor.

"I, Li, behaved properly and sat upright, this matter, I Li just thought so, and I didn't think there was anything wrong......" The person surnamed Li immediately expressed his opinion.

There was silence.

"Actually, speaking of which, it's just that the money in His Majesty's left hand is pounded into his right hand, His Majesty doesn't believe that I am just a courtier, otherwise, how could such an important thing be done by a merchant?" Someone thought about it and said.

"Lord Wang is right, since His Majesty set up a tax superintendent, he has regarded paying taxes and not paying taxes as a tool to distinguish you and me, those who can pay taxes are regarded as their own people, everything is easy to say, everything is easy to do, all the business that is related to Your Majesty has to be done by them, outsiders don't want to do anything, everywhere to attack and exclude others, this is obviously unfair, this time the road is built, it is estimated that it is like this, it is like this, it is estimated that the business of building the road is established, and it must be divided into taxes and non-taxes, Those businesses that have not paid taxes, it is estimated that they don't want to touch the light of this road construction, alas...... "Someone said and said, the matter is essentially said, paying taxes and not paying taxes, has become two and their opposites, can pay taxes, all the business related to the emperor, can be stained, but those who do not pay taxes or can't pay taxes or don't let you pay taxes, that is absolutely not light, this originally everyone didn't think there was much of a problem, thinking, this is not a big deal, after all, there are a number of industries in the world, have already been paved, Even if the emperor has some means, he is not advantageous in general, so even if he does not pay taxes, he will not do much harm to his own business, and he can still live freely. ,

But this time, there is a big problem, faintly rumored that the road from Tongzhou to Beijing is just the tip of the iceberg of the emperor's road construction plan, and some of the words that came out are that the emperor intends to pave this kind of oil residue road on a large scale in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is rumored that at least the two capitals and thirteen provinces will use this oil residue road to connect them, how much oil residue road does this have? How much silver does this cost? How big of a deal does this have to be? Not to mention the road construction itself, not to mention the oil residue itself, just to provide some edge accessories for road construction, this is infinitely useful.

Although this is a seemingly impossible thing, but between the emperor has always done things unexpectedly, he has always liked to be generous, this matter, although it is so drifting and nothing, but still many people firmly believe that this matter, rather believe it than believe it.

Who would have thought that as soon as the emperor came to power, he would bring down the invincible 9,000-year-old? Who would have thought that with a stroke of the emperor's pen, he would take 10 million taels of silver for disaster relief? Who would have thought that with a wave of the emperor's hand, the salt merchants who had been entrenched in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years would be uprooted by the emperor like this? Who would have thought that with a stroke of the pen, the emperor would spend millions of taels of silver on education every year......

If there were no such things, almost no one would believe these "rumors" that are coming out now, but these things can be put on the emperor's head, so now these words will have credibility,...... Those who don't follow the emperor are now regretting it......

"Yes, this time the road construction, we should persuade the emperor, don't believe that the merchants can complete this matter, this matter, must be done by the imperial court itself, this matter, this matter is originally a work for ......relief" Someone immediately concluded, once the emperor gave the road construction to the merchants, then, the road construction, will be divided into taxes and non-taxes, people who do not pay taxes, is not able to drink soup, think about the emperor's huge road construction plan, whether the emperor is bragging, or can really do it, in advance must be fought forAs for whether it is repaired or not repaired in the future, it will not be trapped, otherwise, all the benefits will be taken by those who pay taxes, and the loss will be great.

"Yes, as it should be, we should make a concerted effort to promote this matter...... someone immediately came out in agreement.

"Yes, it should be so......" more people agreed.

"Guys, just talk about this one thing? Do you think that there is a distinction between paying taxes and not paying taxes on this one thing? Even if you win the road construction, then you haven't heard of the construction of the new city of Shanghai? For such a huge project, Your Majesty also has to divide the tax payment and non-tax payment, and those who do not pay taxes can only eat the leftovers of others, and those who pay taxes cannot eat, so it can be the turn of those who do not pay taxes. "Someone immediately broke out something bigger.

The construction of the new Shanghai has begun gradually, of course, this process is also difficult and full of controversy, first of all, the construction of the new Shanghai required huā fee, is a lot of money, and then, the new Shanghai is different from any previous city, there is no city wall, this point, has been the main point of the attack, now on the ground of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a small place in the countryside can not be smaller, then there is a fort, this new Shanghai has invested so much money, but there is no city wall, this in any case, is ridiculous, It is incomprehensible, of course, the supporters of the emperor also said that without the city wall, you can save money and resettle more victims.

"For this matter, it has to be together with the matter of road construction, Your Majesty can't be so repulsive about others, why only let those who pay taxes make money, is it possible that other people are raised by stepmothers? Isn't it true that no one else has been taxed? Your Majesty divides each other like this, it really shouldn't be ......" Someone immediately jumped out and denounced this tax payment and non-payment, and now, this seemingly funny thing has gradually made many people unable to laugh, and has gradually become a reins around everyone's necks, and it is getting closer and closer......

"According to Master Li, could it be that you still expect Your Majesty to abolish the tax superintendent?" Someone suddenly said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the things that everyone was unwilling to mention immediately made the people present embarrassed. They all buried their heads.

When the tax superintendent was established, the miserable and the one who was ridiculed for paying taxes voluntarily and never forced, but last year everyone laughed at the emperor's laughing stock, thinking that the emperor had nothing to do and made such a dilapidated thing, which made people laugh, who was willing to pay taxes by himself? Is there no place for those who have a lot of silver? I know that in the blink of an eye, the issue of eligibility to pay taxes has become a big problem, you have to pay taxes, others still pinch your neck, don't let you pay taxes, you have to pay taxes after you leave, you have to give gifts, you have to look at other people's faces, and you have to let others pick and choose, what are these things? ……,

This matter, now, has become a joke in the entire Shilin, the people who originally laughed at the emperor for being funny, now, none of them can still laugh, and it also makes people see the emperor's methods.

Everyone looked silent and embarrassed.

"That's it, that's it, I won't mention it anymore, if you want the emperor to revoke the tax superintendent, what do you say? Tax supervisors disturb the people? Competing with the people? Or is it a cruelty to the place and a plague to the people? A man was awkwardly silent for a while, then laughed to himself, and then said in a funny voice.

Everyone is even more embarrassed, now the qualifications to pay taxes are all problems, saying that the tax supervisor and the people compete for profits, does this have anything to do with it? Others didn't force you to pay taxes, but now you are begging others to pay taxes, so that your family won't let you do it......

"Alas, Lord Zhang is right, in the matter of tax supervision, we have been negligent, and have fallen into the hands of His Majesty, and now that the wood has been completed, we want to revoke the tax supervision, not to mention that the emperor does not agree, those who can pay taxes can agree? There is no one who can say it, I'll wait on this matter, or don't make people laugh......" A person came out and summed up in shame, in the matter of tax supervision, there is no way to take the emperor, the tax supervision has become a climate, to abolish the tax supervision, there is no strong reason, it is impossible, and the emperor fought before, you can send the hat of what tax supervisor disturbs the people, what kind of tax supervisor harms the place to the head of the tax supervisor, but what is the tax supervisor now? That's the lord of Jiāo tax and has to pull the relationship, sitting at home all day, the big mén does not come out, and the second mén does not step up Miss Qianjin, these words, set on people's heads, I am afraid that people with a little IQ will not agree.

Everyone was embarrassed for a while, this matter was really the emperor's misdeeds, and now he is so passive.

"Tax superintendent, don't think about it for the time being, let's have a good strategy in the future, now, let's talk about the road construction and the construction of Shanghai, we must prevent Your Majesty from building roads under the name of a business, like this, those who can't pay taxes, but there is no way to live, and the construction ......of Shanghai is also like this," someone concluded.

"That's right, the matter of road construction, when the imperial court is the mainstay, work for relief, never give the name of the business, there is no such reason since ancient times, think even if His Majesty insists on this, we have enough reasons to refute, reason is on our side, as for the matter of Shanghai, in fact, it is not that there is no handle to take, then Shanghai is not known as not to have a city wall? Your Majesty does not allow us to participate in the construction of Shanghai, so we will talk about this matter every day, where are there cities that do not have city walls? Is this still called a city? Huā so much silver built Shanghai, is it ready to be floating? Someone said.

"Be a bitter admonition to us, advise Your Majesty to read more sage books, pro-gentlemen, far villains, and less work tools to fight jiāo Dao...... "A few people began to make a fuss and think about it, and educate the emperor well.

As he was talking, there was a sound of gongs and drums beating from far away below the teahouse.

Far away, it seems to be very lively, this midsummer July, it seems to wake up to such a burst of gongs.

“…… Liaodong Sancha River victory, Liaodong Sancha River victory......" Far away, someone shouted.

"Bang ......" shouted at the same time, this person also struck the gong, the voice of the shouting was full of jī feelings, the voice was already exhausted, this gong was also struck with a shocking sound, it is estimated that with a little more force, this gong will have to be broken.

“…… Our army killed 20,000 enemies and wounded 1,000 ......."

"Bang ......" is another earth-shattering gong.

“…… Our army killed 20,000 enemies and wounded 1,000 ourselves......"

This person who beats the gong and drum to deliver the message shouts with the greatest strength and strikes the gong with the greatest strength to let more people hear.

Along the way, on this street, it was already impassable, and the crowd went to the street one after another to see what was going on, and when they heard about the great victory in Liaodong, they applauded one after another, and some people even danced and sounded, and all things were overshadowed at once.

……

Tea house.

A few old men chatting with each other were looking at each other, very shocked to listen to the content of this shout, what killed 20,000 enemies and injured 1,000 themselves, what kind of record is this? Did the gods appear? When did Daming become so powerful.

"What's going on? Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear it wrong? Kill 20,000 enemies and injure yourself 1,000? When did I become so powerful? The old man surnamed Wang glared in shock and asked the people around him.

The people around were also dumbfounded, and they were discussing how to give the emperor an eye, so that the emperor could use more snacks on state affairs and less on things that were competing with them, and suddenly there was such a play, such a rare record, this ......, as soon as this thing came out, the emperor's prestige, how much did it have to rise? I'm afraid these plans they are doing here are just wishful thinking, if the emperor doesn't care about state affairs, can he make this record? Who believes it? ,

"Elder Wang, it's better to call that person up and ask clearly, this record, Li is really hard to believe......" The official surnamed Li was also stunned and didn't believe it.

"Probably not, this battle of Liaodong is the old superintendent of Sun Ge, if you don't have such a record, how dare you make a false report? Even if it is false, how dare it be so incredible? "Some people analyze more calmly, and at the same time, they are drenched in cold sweat, as soon as this kind of result comes out, the prestige of the emperor, how much will it go? Fighting with the emperor, this pressure ......

Everyone's faces are even more unsightly, according to the understanding of these words, this record is definitely true, otherwise, even if it is concealed, it is impossible to conceal it to such an outrageous point.

"Shopkeeper, go and get the person who struck the gong up, I'll ask what the hell is going on." A man immediately got up and commanded loudly downstairs.

The shopkeeper was downstairs, and when he heard a loud command from above, he said from afar, and went to ask the person who had delivered the news from the big gong.

After a while, the man who struck the gong was invited.

The one who struck the gong was also a sensible person, and when he saw the battle, he knew that these people were some big people, and immediately smiled, hunched his back, and bowed to say hello.

"This old man, I want to inquire later, is this news serious?" A slight nod of the word in return was considered a salute, and then asked in a stern tone.

"Returning to this master's words, this matter is true, the little one has the courage to lie in this matter, and the knight who sent good news, this time, it is estimated that he has just entered the palace......" The person who delivered the news of the big gong immediately bowed down and replied with a smile.

“…… Well, let me ask you, but do you have more details? How exactly is it fought? How can it be so bizarre? Why did the Tartars die 20,000, and I only died 1,000? ......" This person really didn't believe in this outrageous record, so he asked right away.

As soon as these words came out, some people heard that something was wrong, and as soon as these words came out, it seemed that they were all from the Tartars, and they were all counting on the Tartars to win, and the Ming Dynasty lost its troops, and immediately another person coughed and interrupted this person's speech.

The person who had just spoken may have realized that his speech was wrong and said, "...... You must know that this matter is a lie, but it is a capital crime......" added to what he just said.

"Back to this master, the little one did hear it like this, it was indeed the Tartar who died 20,000, and I was only injured by 1,000 Ming, this is absolutely wrong, the small one didn't believe it at first, and asked my master carefully, and my master said, it seems to be burned to death......" The person who struck the gong immediately said.

“…… Burned? "In this teahouse, everyone is even more puzzled, what kind of fire does this have to be to burn so many tartars?

Shocked, don't drink this tea, hurry into the palace to ask for an understanding, this is a big thing, as soon as this thing comes out, there is no need to plan many things anymore......
