Chapter 246: Evil Words Confuse the Crowd

Sent out a few hundreds? So much?

Liu Zhongzhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Then where did these Daming Daily come from?"

He was still thinking that if there were only one or two copies of Daming Daily, he would pretend not to see it. Anyway, one or two Daming Daily newspapers have made a lot of noise.

But he didn't expect that Daming Daily would be sent out hundreds of copies.

With so many Daming Daily outflows, aren't there many people who see those articles in Daming Daily that support commercial taxation?

"Uh, Xia Guan didn't pay attention to this!"

Zheng Tuo was a little embarrassed and said, "When the lower officials saw this Daming Daily, the gossip confuses the public and confuses people's hearts. Fear that something big will happen. Just bring the Daming Daily as soon as possible and report it to you!"

"So do you think the article in this daily newspaper is a lie, a lie, and a demagoguery?" Liu Zhong's heart moved, it seems that this Zheng Tuo should be a person who opposes commercial taxes.

He sent Daming Daily to me in such a hurry, I am afraid that he has other thoughts.

Now that the situation of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes is unknown, I still look at what I am saying.

Speaking of this, Zheng Tuo said angrily: "That's right, the articles in Daming Daily are all nonsense. The imperial court's collection of commercial taxes was already overwhelming the merchants."

"Many businesses have lost their livelihoods because of this. However, this Daming Daily ignores the miserable situation of the merchants and blindly advocates the collection of commercial taxes by the imperial court, which is simply aiding and abetting."

"Lord Zheng, whether the imperial court should levy commercial taxes has not yet been conclusively concluded. Let's not talk about this for the time being, you go and investigate first, and find out where the Daming Daily came from and who wrote the articles in the daily newspaper!" Liu Zhong glanced at Zheng Tuo meaningfully and waved his hand.

Zheng Tuo originally wanted to say something, but thinking that once the Daming Daily spread, he was afraid that it would have a great impact, so he nodded: "Yes, Uncle Zong, the lower officials will investigate now."

The sound fell, saluted Liu Zhongzhi, turned around and left in a hurry.

After Liu Zhongzhi watched Zheng Tuo leave, he looked at the Daming Daily on the table, his fingers tapped on the table, and he frowned slightly, who did this Daming Daily? What's the point?

There is also an article in the Daming Daily, blindly advocating that the imperial court should levy commercial taxes, is it to cater to the holy will, or is this Daming Daily the emperor's doing... Hey, if the Daming Daily was done by the emperor, wouldn't those in the court who opposed commercial taxes be...

He didn't dare to continue to think about it, and when he saw Daming Daily again, he felt that this was a hot potato.

Don't look at the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, there are still a lot of controversies, and there are many people who oppose them, but with his understanding of the emperor, the reason why those controversies appeared was because the emperor saw that there were too many opposition voices from the imperial court, and he did not force the collection of commercial taxes.

Once the emperor chooses to impose a compulsory commercial tax, the fate of those who oppose it can be imagined.

Liu Zhong thought about it and decided to take a look at the origin of this Daming Daily before making a decision.

An hour later, Zheng Tuo, who went to investigate the origin of Daming Daily, went and returned, and came to Liu Zhongzhen's public house.

Liu Zhongzhen, who had no intention of doing anything and was waiting for news, saw Zheng Tuo coming, and hurriedly said, "Lord Zheng, is the investigation clear? Who did this Daming Daily?".

"Uncle Zong, the lower officials have made it clear, Daming Daily was founded by Lan Bin, the son of Yongchang Hou!" Zheng Tuo saluted and hurriedly said, "The article in Daming Daily was written by a few scholars that Lan Bin found!"

"In addition, Daming Daily did not send a few hundred, but twenty or thirty thousand."

What? Daming Daily was founded by Lan Bin, the son of Yongchang Hou, and gave away twenty or thirty thousand copies?

Liu Zhongzhi was shocked, and immediately realized that Daming Daily was the emperor's handiwork nine times out of ten, at least Lan Bin founded Daming Daily with the emperor's instructions.

You must know that Lan Bin, the son of Yongchang Hou, is just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll, without the emperor's permission and permission, how dare he touch the current controversial commercial tax collection in the imperial court?

Thinking of this, he decided to ignore the affairs of Daming Daily and wait and see, so as not to get into trouble, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, this official knows, you go down first!"

Uh, one sentence knows, it's over?

How can this work, I also pointed to you to take the lead, contact hundreds of officials, impeach Lan Bin, the son of Yongchanghou, and ban Daming Daily!

Zheng Tuo was stunned, and said righteously: "Uncle Dazong, Daming Daily has bewitched the public, openly violated the laws of the imperial court, and discussed the government and politics. Xia Guan suggested contacting hundreds of officials to write a letter, impeach Lan Bin, and ban Daming Daily!"

"Are you doing something from the Sect?" Liu Zhongzhi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zheng Tuo, and said lightly.
