The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the lock of the king's heart!

"The prince has told the emperor that the palace will be completed within two months, and the emperor has listened to Longyan Dayue."

"Even if it's impossible, it's possible."

Chu Yun said, this matter has been sent and there is no turning back.

Even if these prisoners are put in prison, they will eat white food, so it is better to do something useful here.

"But if it goes on like this, there will definitely be fewer people, how can this be good, a few fewer people will delay some projects, and it will be the same."

Zhang Wen asked.

"It's not simple, send someone to the capital to catch a few and come back, the kind of thief eyebrows and rats who may be thieves or have obscene faces and trivial eyes are arrested, and the kind of people who can't pay taxes are also offset with labor services."

"Lord Zhang, this prince has already shown you a clear way, as for what to do, it's up to you."

Chu Yun Wan'er, Zhang Wen lowered his head to know what Chu Yun meant.

The main person who built the palace was Chu Yun, he was just a handmaker, and he had to listen to Chu Yun no matter what he did.

Zhang Wen looked at the back of Chu Yun leaving, and a touch of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, this kind of thing was told to do it, and it was not his turn to do good things.

Zhang Wen hooked his fingers and ran over under the hand on the side: "What's the matter, my lord." ”

"Do you remember what His Highness said?"

"Yes."

"Just do as Your Highness says, and if there are any such people, they will all be arrested."

After saying that, he walked away.

The prisoners dragged their heavy bodies, wore iron canopies under their feet, and had chains on their hands, lest they should escape.

When they came on the first day, the food was good and the errand was not heavy, and they thought that they were really well treated, but now they regret it a lot.

The first day was excited, but now he is calculating when it will be his turn to work and die.

Outside the capital

A woman was kneeling outside with a child in her arms, crying, but no one looked at her.

And in front of the woman there was a straw mat, and there seemed to be a person rolled in the straw mat, and at first glance it was a dead man.

"Give back my husband's life, return my husband's life, God has no eyes, God has no eyes."

The women and children wept and wept.

Even his eyes were red and swollen with tears.

Chu Yun sat in a sedan chair and went out of the gate of the capital, and the vermilion wall was towering, isolating the outside from the palace.

The people outside are ordinary, but the people inside the city gate are rich and glorious, luxurious and erosive.

Chu Yun lifted the sedan curtain, looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand to summon a guard.

"Second Highness."

"What is the matter with this man, how did he come to the gate of the city with weeping and mourning?"

The guard bowed his head and replied honestly: "Your Highness, this woman's husband accidentally disappeared while repairing the palace, and she is now here to cry out for injustice." ”

"Shouting grievances? Snort, the people who build the palace inside are all people who have made mistakes, what qualifications does she have to cry out for injustice, you drive people away from this prince, so as not to be unlucky, what kind of place is this city gate, how can you let this kind of slut cry outside, what kind of system. ”

"If he refuses to leave, he will dispose of his husband's body and tell Zhang Wen that if someone dies in the future, don't send it back to their house, and throw it directly to the ghost forest."

Chu Yun ordered, and the guard bowed his head and answered: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he slowly retreated.

Chu Yun put down the sedan curtain, only to hear the sound of a woman shouting loudly outside, maybe crying for too long, and her voice was hoarse.

"Noise."

Chu Yun said coldly, and the sedan chair slowly went in the direction of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Each brother made up 50,000 taels, except for Chu Tian, Chu Mo also counted in the Northern Desert, and now he has 200,000 taels, plus a few ministers, a total of 500,000 or 600,000.

These five or six hundred thousand should be able to hold a good birthday.

Chu Yun thought about it, he couldn't let people find out that the treasury was empty, and now he could only buy some time, let Zhang Wen order to increase taxes, and fill all the vacancies in the treasury as soon as possible.

Now when the palace is built, he will be able to unload his burden.

Chu Yun let out a long sigh and looked up at the top of the sedan chair.

Slender hands beat on their thighs and their mouths hummed tunes.

"I can't live this day."

As soon as Tang Moshu returned to Tang's house, he threw the account book in his hand on the table, picked up the kettle and teacup, poured a glass of water, and drank it in a big gulp.

Old Man Tang sat on a bamboo chair and fanned with a fan.

"Why are you so impatient in the afternoon?"

Old Man Tang opened his eyes and looked at Tang Moshu.

He still suspects that Tang Moshu likes men, so he has sent a few more family members to follow him in the past few days, of course, he doesn't dare to choose the handsome ones with ordinary faces, and he only dares to pick some pockmarks with ordinary faces.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that Tang Moshu will fall in love with him one day, and who will he find to reason with him then.

"Daddy, do you know what happened to me when I went to pay my taxes this time?"

Tang Moshu put down the teacup and asked.

"But you forgot to bring the silver again? If you let the prosperity be sent over, you won't get it. ”

Old Man Tang said gracefully.

Tang Moshu shook his head: "It would be nice if this matter was so simple, the tax is heavy again, and only eight percent was required before, but now it needs fifteen percent, which is twice as much." ”

Tang Moshu gritted his teeth and said, he paid 8 percent last month, and today he left, 15 percent.

The Tang family has long been unable to count how many taxes and fees they pay to the imperial court in a year, and now he can't afford the 15 percent of the taxes and fees.

Old Man Tang looked shocked: "What? Fifteen percent? ”

Fifteen percent was a figure he couldn't imagine.

What's more, the tax has always been 8 percent and has not been changed for many years, and even if it is changed, it will be said in advance.

The tax paid by the DPRK businessmen is more than that of ordinary people, more than 2 percent, and ordinary people pay about 6 percent.

"Yes, this time your son heard it right, it's fifteen percent."

Tang Moshu said angrily, gritting his teeth in anger.

"W-that's why?"

"When I asked, people said that he was helpless as stipulated above, and if the 15% was not paid, our store would not be able to continue to open."

The Tang family has a big business, and the turnover of a day is a large amount, if you don't pay it, you don't know how much you lose, if you pay it, he can't swallow this breath.

It's fine if you say it in advance, but you can change it without even saying it, which makes people unconvinced.

"There must be something strange about this, no, I'll go to the prince's mansion to ask, maybe the princess and princess know about it."

Tang Moshu crossed his waist and couldn't get angry.

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Old Man Tang: "Okay, it's useless to go, the prince and the princess don't care about these things, and when they go, they will only say some polite words to send you back." ”

"Dad, don't you know my friendship with the fourth princess, if my son and I open my mouth, I must..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Man Tang, touched the cigarette gun on the table, lit it, and smoked it in a big gulp.

A puff of white smoke exhaled, and he laughed twice: "I don't know how many times you have said this, the father of the fourth princess has seen it but has the demeanor of her mother, but it is useless to be like a portrait, you may have a good relationship with the four princesses, but the friendship cannot be eaten, you still don't understand these people's sophistication, and you will understand it in the future." ”

"And there have been a lot of things going on in the prince's mansion recently, if you go, how can people take care of you."

Old man Tang

As he spoke, Tang Moshu paused.

Thinking that there were so many moths in the prince's mansion, he didn't want to disturb Xiao Changge.

Now Xiao Changge should be recuperating, he should be sad.

After all, it's my own flesh and blood, and if I say no, I'm not sure it's uncomfortable.

"And this tax..."

He came back directly in a fit of anger just now, and he didn't pay it at all.

"Our Tang family is a dynasty businessman, no matter how heavy the taxes are, we have to pay them, set an example, if the Tang family doesn't pay, will others pay?"

"What's more, we are ordinary ordinary people, but we are officials, and our arms can't twist our thighs."

Old Man Tang sighed and said.

They can't resist the officials.

If this is not paid, the courtiers will not be able to do it, and there may be other moths in the future, and it will not be a loss to spend some money to buy peace.

"I knew that I wouldn't have grabbed copper coins and books back then, otherwise the position of the champion of the article would definitely be mine, and if I became an official, I would have told those people to roll in front of me."

Tang Moshu said angrily, blame Old Man Tang.

When he was a child, he put a lot of things in front of him, and asked him to draw lots, and he would follow wherever he caught.

As a result, he grabbed a copper coin so much that he couldn't die, but the old man Tang was so happy that he bluntly said that he would inherit his family business and inherit his mantle in the future.

Don't ask him how he knows, the question is that Old Man Tang read it in his ear every day when he was a child.

Seeing that he loved to read, he was so angry that he deliberately changed his name, and that's it.

Tang Mo book, Mo book, no book.

"If you had known earlier, I should have stuffed you back into your mother's belly back then, so that you wouldn't have a chance to be born."

"Go, pay the taxes."

Old Man Tang picked up the crutches that were placed aside and poked them towards Tang Moshu.

Tang Moshu picked up the account book and went to the yamen again.

Old Man Tang shook his head, this kid thought that he refused to read to him, if he didn't, how could he be literate.

He just didn't want his son to get involved in the court and get involved in the fight.

He only has such a son, where can he give it?

He has never married a concubine over the years, and even if the business is getting bigger and bigger, he has never forgotten his wife.

Since he was poor, Xiang Ding began to follow him to support him, all the way to the Tang family in the capital now, but there is a lack of her company.

It's always easy to remember the past.

Old Man Tang got up from the bamboo chair and slowly walked outside the house with a cane.

The old man's eyes were red, and his hand wiped his face.

To have this glory and wealth but one less person to accompany him, it is not worth it, it is not worth it.

So he doesn't have much of a sense of money now, just hoping that Tang Moshu can be safe.

So the 15 percent tax is paid.

The Prince's Mansion

Xiao Changge sat on the chair, and when she returned to the East Courtyard, she felt that her mood had improved.

"Princess, it's time for lunch."

Autumn and Winter brought the food to him and put it down.

Xiao Changge glanced at bird's nest, shark fin, ginseng, chicken soup, and deer antler velvet.

In the past, she couldn't even touch these things in the Xiao family, but now she is full of these things, and she suspects that Chu Yu has bought all the supplements in the capital.

"Every meal is a dozen taels, I'm really cruel."

Xiao Changge shook her head, more than a dozen taels, if it is discounted, she can save a lot of silver.

"Princess, what you have to do now is to take care of your body, this money is worth it."

"But I heard that the prince also asked Mr. Wang to send these things to the people over there in the Mei Courtyard."

Qiu Dong was a little uncomfortable.
