The next day, there were many things waiting for Lin Dui to decide.

With Lu Fuxin's "something to play, nothing to retreat." ”

The first to stand up was Zuodu Yushi, the teacher of the original owner, "Your Majesty, two days ago, the Criminal Department went out of the water and burned some case files, and the old minister thought that the Criminal Department Shangshu kept official documents improperly and should be punished." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department seemed to have been prepared for a long time and stood up: "Your Majesty, our official office of the Criminal Department has been around for hundreds of years, and there are many hidden dangers, especially in fire prevention. Since this matter began two years ago, I have been writing books one after another, but the Ministry of Industry has not been able to repair and rectify it for a long time. Two days ago, the Criminal Department even went out of the water, and the Ministry of Industry is still in the book, you have to give me an explanation for this matter. ”

I didn't expect that the emperor's first fire in the last dynasty would burn on himself, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu wiped his sweat and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing." It's just that the repair money that should be allocated to the Ministry of Industry this quarter has not been received by the Ministry of Households. There is no silver, there is no way to hire people, and there is no way to buy the corresponding materials, so that the ministers are struggling, and the ministers ask the emperor to know clearly! ”

Listening to the words of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household immediately cried: "Your Majesty, it is not the minister's delay, but the shortage of money!" ”

As he spoke, he began to settle accounts and pour bitter water, "This year's drought in the south, there is no harvest, not only is there no tax, but also disaster relief; The war in Qinyangguan is tense, and military salaries and military funds cannot be delayed; His Majesty also held a birthday banquet, singing and dancing, and during this period of time, the internal affairs government also spent a lot of money, and repeatedly urged to raise two ...... The minister is incompetent, and without the art of turning stones into gold, he really can't conjure silver out of thin air. The minister is guilty, and he is willing to resign from the post of secretary of the household department, and ask the emperor to choose another virtuous person! ”

Lin Du sat on the dragon chair and watched these ministers kick the ball with interest, but he didn't expect to go around and return to him. What is the spending of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all for the royal family, isn't this just accusing yourself in disguise? I'm afraid that this is the result of Zuodu Yushi having been angry with the ministers for a long time.

Lin Du coughed twice, so that everyone's eyes returned to her, and she deliberately kept a straight face: "Hubu Shangshu, are you blaming me?" It's that I have used too much silver. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare." Tobe Shangshu lowered his head.

Lin Du didn't speak, just looked at him, he felt his heart beating, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his head, he was really afraid that he would confess here.

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Zuodu Yushi came out to save the scene: "Your Majesty, the Hubu Shangshu is also worried about state affairs, he doesn't blame you, it's just that, according to the old minister's humble opinion, the situation of the Hubu is not optimistic, Your Majesty should set an example and advocate the diligent and thrifty style of the former dynasty and the harem and even the whole country." ”

Lin Du thought about it, her teacher scolded people very much, and she liked it, so she began to explain him a big reason, trying to provoke him: "Teacher, aren't you old and confused. This money is better than open source rather than throttling. What's the use of saving, we should find a way to find a source for the household. ”

Before Zuodu Yushi could say anything, Wang Yanxiang jumped out: "Your Majesty, you can't increase taxes." ”

Lin Du looked at Wang Yanxiang, since the end of the vassal king's incident, Wang Yanxiang has been the initiator of a girl group, and he has not made high-minded statements for a long time, what is going on today.

"Your Majesty, the people are like water, the king is like a boat, the water can carry a boat, or it can overturn a boat. We live in the temple, but we also have to be sympathetic to the people's feelings. Wang Yanxiang said solemnly.

The corners of Lin Dui's mouth were hooked, her smile was sly, and she suddenly wanted to tease him: "Wang Yanxiang, you are just the initiator of a girl group now, and I don't want to listen to your opinion, if it's okay, you can go and see more beauties, and help me choose more beauties than anything else." No matter how much you talk, you can't even be the initiator of a girl group. ”

Even if Lin Duan said this, Wang Yanxiang did not retreat: "Your Majesty, the minister is not afraid, the minister just feels that when he is here, he has a day's duty to think about the people, and it is also for the sake of His Majesty." ”

Lin Du looked at his determined appearance, as if as long as he raised taxes, he would die, and she finally remembered that Wang Yanxiang was from a humble background, and he was the son of a poor man who was admitted all the way. No wonder he is so worried about the people, the country needs such a courtier, this is the backbone of a country, such a minister, he must be reinstated before leaving.

"Okay, who will you see this heroic and righteous appearance?" Lin Du couldn't help but chuckle, "Stand down, I won't raise taxes." ”

Of course, she knows that such a thing as a tax increase is angry and resentful, and she will definitely lose her luck, but she can't pit so many people for her mission.

Zuo Du Yushi felt strange: "If you don't collect taxes, does Your Majesty have any other way to open source?" ”

Lin Du smiled mysteriously: "What I mean is indeed to make a fuss about tax collection and collect more taxes, but there is no need to increase the tax rate, if the base is large, the taxes I collect will also increase." Teacher, am I not right? ”

Zuo Du Yushi shook his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty is right. But that has to be based on the people's harvest, Your Majesty, it's up to God. What we can do is to be thrifty. ”

"Teacher, in addition to agricultural taxes, isn't there also commercial taxes?" Lin Du finally got to the point.

"Business tax?" Everyone is reacting, what does the emperor mean by this.

In fact, Lin Du didn't know what the outcome of her decision would be, but she didn't want the Shangjia family to repeat the mistakes of the Yangzhou Chen family.

"Your Majesty wants to ......" Zuo Du Yushi didn't dare to say what he thought, this was too deviant.

"That's right." Lin Du nodded, her heart was beating fast and fast: "I just want to change the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business. ”

"Your Majesty, no!" Zuodu Yushi shouted.

"Why not?" Such an opposition was something Lin Du had long expected.

Although Zuodu Yushi was shocked, his words were very organized: "Agriculture is the source of food and clothing. If farming is injured, hunger is also the foundation; Female red harm, then the cold plain also. Agriculture is the source of the country's prosperity. The contempt of the field county is also the foundation of wealth. Moreover, agriculture can provide a sufficient supply of troops for the war of unification. Let the people return to the peasants and defend the Lord. ”

"I didn't say I didn't pay attention to agriculture anymore. I want to focus on agriculture and business. Lin Du looked innocently at Zuodu Yushi.

An imperial historian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, merchants make huge profits by sitting on the land and live a luxurious life that is difficult for peasants to achieve. This is a parasite that sucks the people's fat and people's ointment. That's why people say, 'Seek wealth with poverty, agriculture is not as good as work, industry is not as good as business, embroidery is not as good as relying on the market.' ’”

Lin Du saw the move: "I and all Aiqing can formulate reasonable business regulations to regulate the behavior of businessmen. Isn't that good? Merchants make money through their own efforts, and there is no difference between them and farmers. The merchants and peasants are all my people, and I should treat them equally. ”
