Chapter 374: Taicang Tax Silver
Shen Tianlan heard what Li Guang meant, that is, he knew that he would use undignified means to let her come.
In other words, she had anticipated his illness a long time ago, knew his choice, and everything was under her control, and she really managed to strategize.
He beckoned Shen Xiuwen, Shen Xiuwen and the second lady went over together, and then the two couples slowly helped him up, and Shen Tianlan looked at Li Guangchen seriously.
Melon seed face, a pair of big eyes on the skin that can be broken by blowing are black and white, she is not as gentle and lovely as the girl in the boudoir, and the straight nose makes her face lines angular and angular, which is a cold and noble good-looking.
This is the second time he looks at this girl like this, the first time, he thinks she is a demon, a nasty existence, he didn't expect that it would become his lifesaver in the end.
Shen Tianlan changed her previous arrogant attitude, and said with a slight bow: "Miss Li, don't come unharmed, it's just that Bugu is no longer the willful thing at that time, and at this time, I must be old and unsightly!" ”
This is a kind of humility, and I feel that the world is impermanent!
Li Guangchen nodded and said, "My lord does look very old now, and he is not very good-looking!" ”
Everyone: "......"
Shen Tianlan laughed and said, "I heard the boss say that Miss Li is honest and straightforward, it turns out that she has not changed like this, it's so good, she looks like a young man!" ”
Li Guangchen found a chair and sat down, and then said with a smile: "Not everyone I will be outspoken, people who don't care naturally have something to say, everyone is an outsider, do you still have to hold back!" ”
Saying that, she looked at Li Minghe behind her with her spare eyes, and soon came back.
Everyone: "......"
Her meaning is clear: those who don't care can be casually scared, and those who care will be scruples.
If Shen Tianlan was the way he was before, he would definitely be thunderous and angry, today he pondered Li Guangchen's words, and said with a slow smile: "It's still Miss who lives transparently, of course her own people have to be considerate, and outsiders are not important, but we seem to be the opposite, polite to outsiders, and our own people are our own people, but they hurt very much!" ”
Li Guangchen nodded: "It's worthy of Lord Shen, and it's really thorough!"
Since Lord Shen is so transparent, you should know why I'm here today! ”
It was because of the Holy Decree, but she didn't want to treat him, and if she wanted to, she would have acted by now, instead of procrastinating.
Shen Tianlan smiled and nodded: "I know, but Miss is not in a hurry!" ”
After speaking, he called Shen Xiuwen and said, "Go and show my account book to Miss!" ”
Shen Xiuwen hurriedly said yes, and then went out, and after a while he brought two little guys in, both of whom were holding a stack of account books in their hands.
Li Minghe didn't know what kind of medicine Shen Tianlan bought in the gourd, what do these account books have to do with his daughter?
He hurriedly walked to the chair next to Li Guangchen and sat down, meaning to supervise.
The little guy walked up to Li Guangchen under the leadership of Shen Xiuwen, and then showed the account book to Li Guangchen under the instruction of Shen Xiuwen.
Li Guangchen naturally took it in her hand and then opened it, she looked very serious at a glance.
The room gradually fell silent with her movements, and only the rustling of books remained.
When she flipped through the third book like this, Shen Tianlan spoke: "These are the accounts of the state treasury since I took over, Miss Li looks like a person who has a lot of money in her belly and is different from ordinary girls, you should know that it is not easy for the court and people to be officials!" ”
Li Minghe thought to himself that it turned out to be the account book of the household department Taicang, and this is all for my daughter to see?!
Li Guangchen actually didn't need to look at it to know that what Shen Tianlan said was not easy, since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, there have been serious shortcomings in the system, and the nobles only need to eat grains to live for a lifetime without production, and they are real rice worms.
The aristocracy's feudal system has made the rich people in the world not pay taxes, and the literati above the rank of the person can also not pay taxes, which has a bigger loophole, that is, the families who need to pay taxes, as long as there are literati in their village, they can attach the land to the name of the literati, so that only a little rent is given to the literati to deduct the tax, and the state cannot get a penny.
Originally, some nobles did not pay taxes, but now most of the officials and relatives of officials do not pay taxes, and the extent of land annexation can be imagined.
In response to that sentence, the rich people in the world do not pay taxes, and one-third of the poor people pay taxes in the world.
How can the treasury have money?!
Li Guangchen threw the tax account book directly into the arms of the little guy, and then said with a smile: "If it is not easy for you, then who is easy in the world?" Easy for the common people? It's easy to be a soldier, but it's easy to strike iron? Or is it easy for me to practice medicine?!
As long as it is a laboring person, it is not easy, and the easy thing is that those big rice worms are not producers, so your grievances should not be like me, you should vomit to those people! ”
Shen Tianlan shook her head in disappointment and said, "I thought Miss was a different person, but I didn't expect Miss to say such irresponsible words, so what's the difference between you and ordinary people?!" ”
Li Guangchen said: "I was originally an ordinary ordinary person! ”
After thinking about it, she said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, why are you disappointed in me?" How can I say that only adults will not be disappointed?! ”
Shen Tianlan knew that Li Guangchen would not save him, he had no bargaining chips, unless he had a reason that she couldn't refuse, and this woman, don't look at her young age, he believed that she had a feeling of helping the world and saving people.
Shen Tianlan looked at Li Guangchen, there was a fine light in his eyes, not so lifeless, which made Li Guangchen think of what Yu Niang said, what Shen Tianlan and her looked like when they met for the first time.
At this time, Lord Shen pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan, as if he had returned to the time when he was in high spirits.
He asked his son to support him, and he said impassionedly: "Everyone has a goal, my goal, set it when I was thirty years old, when Emperor Zong was still alive, Emperor Sejong believed in Taoism, when he was sixty years old, there happened to be a palace in the imperial city that caught fire, he wanted to renovate it as a star view to worship the Taoist Sanqing ancestor, of course, there was an uproar in the court, everyone disagreed, but do you know where this disagreement comes from?!" ”
There wasn't much time for Shousuke-sama to talk about the future, and everyone listened carefully.
Shen Xiuwen continued: "If you violate the ancestral system, how can you still cultivate Taoism in the palace?!" ”
Shen Tianlan asked Li Guangchen with a smile; "Miss Li, why do you think that?!"
Li Guangchen said: "My lord, you have asked everything, so you don't need to say, naturally because the treasury has no money!" ”
Shen Tianlan nodded appreciatively: "It takes 200,000 taels of silver to repair the palace, and the treasury has already owed 1.3 million taels of expenditure in the previous year, so it can't take out 300,000 taels at all!" ”
