Chapter 180: Lan Bin's speechlessness

Lan Bin nodded: "Well, the emperor did ask me to learn skills from Wei Guogong, and Wei Guogong also agreed."

It turned out to be true!

Lan Yu was overjoyed, he had just heard someone say that when the emperor asked Lan Bin to follow Xu Da to learn the art of war, he expected it to be true, but he didn't believe it.

Needless to say, although he is proud, he thinks that among the nobles of Huaixi, there are few who can lead troops to fight as good as himself. But for Xu Da, it was a tight admiration.

even regarded Xu Da as his life goal, and always thought about the general and military position under Xu Da's buttocks.

If you don't believe it, it's simpler, although the emperor likes Lan Bin very much, but the emperor may not open his mouth to Xu Da for Lan Bin.

The last person to let the emperor do this was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, the emperor's own son. Where is Lan Bin's status in the emperor comparable to the emperor's own son?

Besides, how could Xu Da pass on his housekeeping skills to an outsider?

But he never expected that the emperor not only opened his mouth for Lan Bin, but Xu Da actually agreed.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but say, "Bin'er, it's rare that the emperor opened his mouth to the generals and soldiers for you. Don't let down the emperor's high expectations, learn from the generals and the army, and learn all his skills in leading soldiers to fight!"

While talking, he secretly muttered in his heart that the position of the general and the army would be out of play for a while. It would be good if Bin'er could learn the housekeeping skills of generals and soldiers.

Especially the generals and soldiers, except for his son and son-in-law, have never instructed anyone else, which is even more rare.

Although Lan Bin was influenced by later generations and advocated the supremacy of firepower, he also planned to develop a rifle, innovate the weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty, and move from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons.

But he didn't dare to underestimate the ability of ancient famous generals to lead troops to fight, especially this famous general, who was still the first general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da.

I couldn't help but say seriously, "Dad, don't worry! I know the weight. After a while, after Uncle Xu recovers, I will come to visit!"

"Okay, now that you know, I won't say more!" Lan Yu nodded, then turned and walked outside.

Lan Bin was stunned and said in surprise, "Dad, where are you going?"

"I'm going to go get those old brothers for a drink! My son is learning from the generals and the army, and I have to talk to them about such a good thing!" Lan Yu didn't look back, and said happily.

Dad, don't you feel ashamed to show off and brag about such a trivial matter?

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, intending to stop it, but he didn't know where to start, and for a moment, Lan Yu had already walked away.

In the end, Lan Bin could only shake his head, gave up the idea of stopping, turned around and came all the way to his study, sat at the desk, picked up a stack of manuscripts on the table, and flipped through it.

These manuscripts are his previous views on the implementation of commercial taxation that he asked Wu Junbo and others to write.

It's been two days since it was handed in, and he didn't have time to read it, and it wasn't until now that he took the time to read the manuscript, and by the way, he learned about the pre-job training of Wu Junbo and others.

After Lan Bin looked through it, he found that the views on the trial of commercial taxation written by Wu Junbo and others this time have made great progress compared with what they wrote last time, and they are clearly organized, with a lot of personal conjecture and a lot of situations in the trial of commercial tax.

For example, the compulsory taxation of government officials, deception and concealment, bribery of money to pay less taxes, no money to collect more taxes, and so on.

Although judging from these circumstances, Wu Junbo and others did settle down to observe and understand the implementation of the trial commercial tax before writing this opinion on the trial of commercial tax.

However, it also exposed many problems in the trial implementation of commercial tax.

And these problems directly affect Wu Junbo and others' views on the trial implementation of commercial tax, so that in their views, they mostly use words and phrases that belittle the collection of commercial tax.

Its opposition to the imposition of commercial taxes is self-evident.

After reading the manuscript, Lan Bin pondered for a moment and called, "Thursday..."

"Young master, you're looking for me!" Thursday, who was waiting outside the study, walked in.

Lan Bin glanced at Thursday and asked, "How did you check the news last time?"

"Young master, it's been checked, Nanjing

、The person in charge of collecting commercial taxes in the city is the former criminal department to the matter, and the current household department is the right attendant Lang Lishu. Heaven's cooperation!"

Thursday had been waiting for Lan Bin to ask, and said unhurriedly: "The specific implementation is the responsibility of the household officials and the officials of the Ying Tianfu. Every morning at 2 o'clock in the morning, from east to west, they levied the previous day's commercial tax on every shop, vendor, and other merchants."

"In addition, shops are taxed at a rate of thirty taxes according to the records of the ledger. The vendors are fixed at a rate ranging from 100 wen to 500 copper coins and levy taxes."

"Who determines the method of taxation?" Lan Bin frowned.

Thursday hurriedly said, "It should be set by Lord Li!"

"What do you mean by should? Didn't you find out who made it?" Lan Bin said unhappily.

Thursday was a little unnatural and said, "I checked, and those officials said that they were determined by the above. But when I asked who it was, I couldn't tell."

"I inquired, Lord Li, who is in charge of the trial of commercial tax in Nanjing and the city, will go to Yingtianfu every afternoon to check the accounts. So I think it's the way he sets out the way he collects taxes!"

"Check again, I don't want you to think, I want a positive answer!" Lan Bin said lightly.

Thursday nodded and said, "Okay, young master!"

"Okay, put this aside in advance, tomorrow you have someone inform Wu Junbo and let them come to the house tomorrow afternoon! I have something to talk to them about!" Lan Bin commanded.

He plans to use the trial commercial tax as the first news report of Daming Daily to support the trial commercial tax.

Wu Junbo and others have quite a few views on the trial of commercial taxation.

This is definitely not going to work, so he plans to gather Wu Junbo and others to unify their thoughts. In order to avoid the issuance of the Daming Daily, advocating support for the trial of commercial taxation, the outside has not yet had an impact, and the internal chaos has been caused first.

Thursday hurriedly said, "Okay, young master, early tomorrow morning, I will have someone go to inform Wu Junbo and them."

"Well, go ask the kitchen if dinner is ready!" I'm hungry!" Lan Bin said again.

"I'm going to rush!"

Exited the study on Thursday and went to urge the kitchen.

Lan Bin once again picked up the opinions on the trial of commercial taxation written by Wu Junbo and others, and while looking at them, he thought about their views.

The next day, Lan Bin followed Lan Yu to the Beijing camp, where the wounded soldiers lived.

As soon as he entered the camp, Lan Bin saw swarms of flies flying around the blood-stained linen and other things thrown on the ground, and there were feces and other things on the ground in a certain corner, so he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and followed Lan Yu in two steps: "Dad, you will settle the wounded soldiers in this place?"

"That's right! Questions?" Lan Yu was puzzled.

What is a problem? Big problem, well!

Wounded soldiers live in such a harsh environment, and they will be infected to you every minute. It's hard not to die!

Lan Bin was a little speechless and said, "Dad, this place is dirty, messy and poor, not to mention the wounded soldiers, even normal people will get sick if they stay in this kind of place for a long time!"

"Wouldn't it? The other camps, similar to here, haven't had any incident!" Lan Yu looked around left and right, and didn't see anything wrong.
