Seeing that Zheng Ying was so taught, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and did not let him continue to face the wall, but said meaningfully: "Any reform should not be rushed for quick success, so as not to backfire on itself." ”

A word of guidance made Zheng Ying and Jiang Wenbin enlighten at the same time, Zheng Ying bent down, and respectfully bowed to the emperor: "Thank you for your guidance." Son, I have been taught. ”

Jiang Wenbin didn't stiffen his neck at this time, he bent down, followed Zheng Ying and saluted, and then raised his head with a look of hope and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have a plan in your heart?" To tell the truth, the minister proposed such a radical reform plan because he was really in a hurry. Our war with Rong Di cannot end in a day or two. According to the current fiscal and tax situation, the state treasury cannot support such huge military expenditures, so the minister wants to carry out the tax law reform as soon as possible. ”

"I know." The emperor nodded: "You can't stop fighting, and you can't afford to spend money." ”

"That's right." Jiang Wenbin seemed to have just remembered, and said again: "Your Majesty, in fact, not all nobles do not support fiscal and tax reform. The Anguo Mansion has no opinion. Mrs. Mu also asked Mrs. An Guo to calculate the revenue of Mujiatian's property shop overnight, and prepare to pay back taxes. ”

"You ......" The emperor was speechless for a while, as if he was so angry with Jiang Wenbin that he couldn't find a word for a while, and only asked after a while: "You showed your music to the Mu family?" ”

"yes." Jiang Wenbin nodded honestly: "Old Madam Mu did not object, and also expressed her full support." ”

"Of course the Mu family will support it." The emperor stretched out his finger and nodded at the tip of Jiang Wenbin's nose, and his face turned blue: "The men of the Mu family are all on the battlefield in the north, and Mrs. Mu will draw more military expenses for her children and grandchildren, why don't you want to do it?!" Besides! What are they afraid of?! Pay the tax and pay it. The Anguo Mansion has been meritorious for generations, and the gold and silver I reward every year are enough for them to pay taxes! What a fool! How can you show this kind of music to others casually! ”

Jiang Wenbin didn't dare to answer, so he could only grin awkwardly. Zheng Ying glanced at Jiang Wenbin, and stood up very considerately to relieve him: "Father, since the Anguo Mansion already knows, it won't help you to be angry again." Or how exactly should the tax law reform be carried out? You have a holy judgment, and Jiang Shangshu can handle it accordingly. Also, what Jiang Shangshu played just now should indeed be considered, the war in the north is tight? Can't come up with the money? What will the soldiers on the battlefield do? There has to be a solution. ”

"You're going to save trouble." The emperor glared at Zheng Ying: "If you can't think of an idea, you know to ask me." Jiang Wenbin? I ask you? You said that the old lady of the Mu family wants to support you, what did she promise you? Tell me about it. ”

"Old Madam Mu plans to carry the back tax and silver to the court tomorrow." Jiang Wenbin replied: "When the court pays? Be an example of cooperation. ”

"Old Five." The emperor looked up at Zheng Ying: "When you go back from the palace today, no matter how late it is?" All go to the Anguo Mansion. You go in person. I have a word? You explain to Mrs. Mu in person, let her carry the Mu family's tax silver for a year to the court tomorrow, and when the court plays, you must make it clear that it is tax silver, but? Remember? It can only be said to donate, not to make up the payment. ”

"Father, but you want to boil frogs in warm water?" A smile suddenly appeared on Zheng Ying's lips: "The Mu family took the lead in donating tax silver for a year, so it's better for everyone to donate." There is no need to donate more, just calculate the tax payment according to the property of each family? Donate as much as you should pay back taxes. ”

"Let's just think that the officials took the lead in accepting the military endowment." The emperor replied without changing his color: "The court is at war." Lack of money? It is not an exaggeration for officials to share a little. Donations only. Originally, the war should have increased the military endowment, but thinking of this year's year? The people worked hard, and it is not an exaggeration for this military burden to be borne by officials and nobles. On weekdays? All of them are holding the court's money? Where did you come from? Isn't it the people's tax support? At this time, there is a little return, and it is also appropriate to bear one or two for the people. It's not always like that, just once in a while, isn't it? Do you think that's the truth, Master Jiang? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Wenbin immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "The Anguo Mansion has taken the lead in donating, how can others look at it." The minister also donated, and the minister could still get the tax for a year. ”

"You're going to play like this tomorrow." The emperor stared at Jiang Wenbin with burning eyes: "I will send you an errand." Remember, it is important to take this opportunity to find out the bottom line, and I have to find out how many fields, shops, and people are in someone's house. The basis for future tax law reform must be prepared in advance. At present, there are many yellow books and fish scale books in the household, and you have to sort them out quickly. ”

"Commandment." Jiang Wenbin nodded.

"Keep an eye on me." The emperor stared at Zheng Ying again and instructed: "This time, the household department will conduct a census of the income of each household on the grounds of donation, and if anyone dares to conceal it, it will be severely punished." ”

"Erchen understands." Zheng Ying smiled and nodded: "The imperial court is at war, if someone hides his property in order to donate a few less money, it is naturally not to be forgiven." ”

The emperor paced back and forth in the imperial study, and after a while, he said again: "The Anguo Mansion takes the lead in donating taxes and silver, and someone must respond immediately." It's better if someone from the clan comes out to respond......"

"Father, rest assured," Zheng Ying immediately replied, "The son will respond." ”

"Nope! It can't be you! The emperor shook his head with a serious face: "It's not just about donating tax money, but also about slowly promoting the reform of the tax law in the future, and there are many things to do." But you remember, you can't stand on the side of anything related to tax reform. ”

"Father's ......" The emperor's words made Zheng Ying very meaningful: "The son is ......"

"I'll be the one to do this bad guy." The emperor turned around and nodded at Jiang Wenbin: "This kind of offending the ministers will be carried out step by step, and in the future, after a hundred years, I think they will not write anything good in the history books." I have passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and I have long seen it. I don't know how many years I can sit on this throne, and the fiscal and tax reform, one day when I can stand in front of me, don't let my son come out. They are still young, and Da Zhou will have to rely on them in the future, and they can't be allowed to lose the trust of the ministers. ”

The emperor's words made Zheng Ying's throat choke, her nose sour, and she couldn't say a word.

Jiang Wenbin's eyes were damp, and he nodded at the emperor with tears in his eyes: "Yes!" ”

"But, Jiang Wenbin, are you really ready?" The emperor suddenly showed an open-minded smile towards Jiang Wenbin: "I and you, a faint king, a courtier who bewitches a faint king, just wait for the stench for 10,000 years!" ”
