For a while, Wu Junbo and the others were confused, and they thought about all the books they had read in the past, but they couldn't think of an answer.

"Why do I support business taxes?"

Lan Bin waited for a moment and continued, "In order to relieve the pressure on the farmers!"

Decompression?

Wu Junbo and the others were all touched into the blind spot of knowledge, and they were confused, what do they mean? Why do we know the word stress reduction separately, but we don't know what it means when we combine them?

After a moment, Wu Junbo couldn't help but say, "Young Master Lan, what is stress relief?"

Lan Bin explained, "Let's put it this way! The various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the peasant households are all pressures. And to reduce pressure is to reduce all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on farmers!"

"Young Master Lan, can you really reduce the harsh taxes on farmers?" Wu Junbo and the others all understood, and Wu Junbo was even more skeptical.

He is a poor family, no, he is not even a poor family, just an ordinary farmer.

The family only has four acres of thin fields.

Before he was admitted to Xiucai's fame, his family was also responsible for various taxes. Especially his family has experienced the previous dynasty, which can be called a dark period.

It is also burdened with heavy taxes.

Originally, there were more than ten acres of land at home, but because of heavy taxes, natural disasters and man-made disasters, only four acres of thin fields were sold.

He didn't know the situation of other peasant families, he only knew that if the imperial court reduced the taxes on the peasant households, then his family's life would be much better.

Is it just that the imperial court can reduce the taxes on the peasants?

"Nope!"

Lan Bin shook his head, "But we can work on this!"

Resting in other dynasties, Lan Bin didn't even dare to say the word "hard work".

However, in the Hongwu Dynasty, he felt that it was really possible to succeed in trying to move in the direction of reducing peasants' taxes.

The reason is very simple, the emperor of the Hongwu Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang is the most pitiful and loves the people. Anything that is beneficial to the peasants, he is willing to try and do.

Just like the series of welfare and security policies formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, they are biased towards farmers everywhere.

"Young Master Lan, the effort you are talking about won't be to support business taxes, right?" Wang Yang's heart moved, and he said tentatively.

Everyone else looked at Lan Bin, waiting for Lan Bin's answer.

Lan Bin nodded: "That's right, the imperial court collects commercial taxes, and the imperial court has silver. to do more. Only then will there be an opportunity to reduce all kinds of taxes on farmers."

"If the imperial court has no money, how can it be said that all kinds of taxes on the peasants will be reduced?"

"But if the imperial court has silver, it may not reduce the taxes on the peasants!" Wang Yang hesitated.

Lan Bin said with a smile: "Today's emperor loves the people like a son, if the court has silver, we can ask for a decree to reduce all kinds of taxes on farmers!"

"Young Master Lan, we are soft-spoken, and we can't even see the emperor. How do you ask for a decree?" Wu Junbo smiled bitterly and interjected.

"You can't see the emperor, I can!"

Lan Bin said again: "Besides, even if you can't see the emperor, you can still ask for a decree!"

"Young Master Lan, what do you mean by this?" Wu Junbo and others were all interested.

"Have you forgotten the newspaper we're going to make?"

Lan Bin pretended to be mysterious and said, "Our Daming Daily is the center of the connection between the imperial court and the people. In the future, I will send a copy to the emperor for every issue of Daming Daily before it is published."

"Your reasonable demands, such as reducing or reducing taxes on farmers, can be submitted to the emperor through the Daming Daily."

"Young Master Lan, this... Is this okay?" Wu Junbo and the others were excited and couldn't believe it.

The so-called learning into literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.

Although they are not very good at learning, they still have the idea of serving the court and making suggestions to the emperor.

It's just that this idea, in real conditions, is pressed deep inside.

Now that they heard Lan Bin say that the Daming Daily he was about to make would be presented to the Imperial Palace, how could they not be excited.

Lan Bin smiled, "Why not? I made Daming Daily in order to convey the voice of the imperial court to all the people. and feedback the voices of the common people to the court."

It turns out that we want to make a newspaper, and it has such a big effect!

Wu Junbo and the others were completely excited, and they couldn't wait to make the Daming Daily that Lan Bin said immediately, and they couldn't wait to write a splendid article immediately and be read by the emperor.
