Zhu Yuanzhang took Lan Bin and others to the street to wander around, chatting with the storefront merchants, small merchants and hawkers on the road.

The content is, of course, to understand their views on commercial taxation.

And the merchants, small merchants and hawkers, whether they are sincere or believe that more is better than less, are more supportive of commercial taxes when they talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang more confident in the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, and at the same time, it also made him more disgusted with the opposition from the imperial court.

"Master Huang, there's news from the palace!"

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang had just come out of a restaurant, and Jiang Xuan, the commander of the accompanying Jinyi Guard, came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side quickly after receiving the report from his subordinates, and said in a low voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face did not change: "What's the matter?"

"The cabinet has received many civil and military officials impeaching Lan Baihu, and they dare not make their own decisions and ask for a holy ruling!" Jiang Xuan almost subconsciously glanced at Lan Bin, who was a few steps behind, before he whispered.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang left the palace, Jiang Zhen had secretly reported that some officials of the six ministries had secretly connected with each other. Although it was surprising that civil and military officials were able to impeach Lan Bin so quickly, it was also expected by him.

couldn't help but glance at Lan Bin, and said lightly, "All stay!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Jiang Zhen saluted, he turned around and sent someone back to the palace to convey Zhu Yuanzhang's will.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lan Bin approaching, and said, "Let's stop here today!" Lan Bin, don't forget, I'm going to study in the main hall tomorrow!"

"Obey!"

Lan Bin glanced at Jiang Xuan, who was walking away, and after saluting Zhu Yuanzhang and the others to leave, he returned to the Lan Mansion with his entourage on Thursday.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Blue Mansion, a steward of the Blue Mansion who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly greeted him: "Young Master, you are finally back!" Master Cousin has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Young Master Cousin? Is it a third cousin?" Lan Bin raised his eyebrows and asked.

The steward hurriedly said, "There is also a young master!"

"Big cousin is here too? When did they come?"

Lan Bin was a little surprised, and asked as he walked towards the main hall.

The steward replied: "Young Master Cousin, they have been here for half an hour, by the way, before they came to the mansion, there were also young masters in the mansion such as Yingchuan Hou and Ji'an Hou, and the housekeeper came to visit the young master in the mansion."

"It's just that the young master is not here, so they will go back."

"What are they coming to me for?" Lan Bin didn't react for a while, and said suspiciously.

The steward shook his head and said, "I don't know, little one!"

Lan Bin glanced at the steward, didn't ask more, went straight to the main hall, and walked briskly. But after taking two steps, he stopped again, and suddenly remembered today's issue of Daming Daily.

I also thought of the young masters of the mansion such as Ji'an Hou and Yingchuan Hou, and the housekeeper suddenly came to the mansion, and realized that they came nine times out of ten to support the imperial court in collecting commercial taxes for the Ming Daily.

The most important thing is that he also thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's previous advice to let him go back to the main hall to study.

At that time, he was wondering if Zhu Yuanzhang was brewing something, and now it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that after the release of Daming Daily, he received the reaction of some civil and military officials of the imperial court, especially those who opposed the collection of commercial taxes by the imperial court.

And some of these officials are involved in Yongchang Houfu.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want himself to come forward to intercede, so he used the excuse of going back to the main hall to study and took himself away.

Thinking of this, Lan Bin was a little anxious, he didn't know that among Lan Yu's old brothers, there were people who blatantly opposed the imperial court's commercial tax, and even made some moves to resist the imperial court's collection of commercial tax.

But he knew that Lan Yu was a very righteous person, and if Lan Yu knew that something had happened to his old brothers, he would definitely not stand idly by.

But in this way, it will definitely hurt Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lan Bin sighed secretly, I hope that the old brothers involved in business taxes can make a wise decision and not insist on going their own way, otherwise no one will be able to save them.

Thinking about it, he shook his head and went straight to the main hall, and at a glance he saw the two brothers Chang Mao and Chang Sen, who were sitting on the chairs and waiting, and walked over: "Great

Cousin, third cousin, why are you here?"

"Cousin, you're back? Has the emperor returned to the palace?" Chang Mao, who had just picked up the teacup, saw Lan Bin coming over, immediately put down the teacup, and said hurriedly.

He came to Lan Mansion, and after learning that Lan Bin was not in the mansion, he arranged for his entourage to go to the street to find Lan Bin.

It's just that when the entourage found Lan Bin, they found that Lan Bin was with the emperor, so they didn't dare to disturb, and turned around and went back to Lan Mansion to resume their lives.

And this is also the reason why the two Chang Mao brothers have been waiting in the Blue Mansion and have not left.

Lan Bin raised his eyebrows, and said unexpectedly, "Big cousin, do you know that I am with the emperor?"

"I asked Chang San to go to you, he has seen the emperor!"

After Chang Mao explained, he said, "Cousin, what is written in your Daming Daily, but what does the emperor mean?"

As he spoke, he stared straight at Lan Bin.

After the Wanshou birthday banquet, his younger brother Chang Sen returned to Changfu and told him what Lan Bin meant.

It's just that he was reluctant to pay heavy taxes, and he relied on his brother-in-law being the prince of the East Palace, so he hesitated and didn't make a final decision.

And today, the Daming Daily, founded by Lan Bin, was officially launched, and it was full of articles supporting commercial taxation, plus Lan Bin's holy family was strong, which was very appreciated by the emperor.

I was worried that the articles in Daming Daily that supported commercial taxation were only published at the behest of the emperor.

If this is the case, it means that it is imperative for the imperial court to collect commercial taxes, and there is no room for relaxation.

In turn, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

When Lan Bin heard this, he looked at Chang Mao's reaction again, probably guessed Chang Mao's thoughts, and sighed secretly in his heart, this cheap big cousin is really shallow!

Just staring at the mess in front of you, can't you take a long-term view?

It is no wonder that in history, he held a hand of king bombing, but in the end he ended up being cut off and exiled.

Thinking about it, he said seriously, "Big cousin, what I mean, I believe that the third cousin has already told you. Regardless of whether the article in Daming Daily is authorized by the emperor or not."

"The imperial court levies commercial taxes for the benefit of the country and the people, we are noble, and we are resting with the country, and there is no reason to oppose it!"

"Also, don't take chances, lest disaster become!"

"So, the article in Daming Daily was really instructed by the emperor?" Chang Mao's heart moved, and he said tentatively.

Lan Bin held his forehead, knowing that Chang Mao was relying on his brother-in-law being Zhu Biao, and he was lucky in his heart, so he couldn't help but say: "The article in Daming Daily, although it was not ordered by the emperor, but before it was issued, I had already sent it to the palace and handed it over to the emperor for review."

"Does it make a difference?" Chang Mao smiled bitterly.

Lan Bin comforted: "Cousin, listen to my advice, don't be fooled by the immediate interests, and take a long-term view. It takes a few pieces of silver to pay the commercial tax, and it is the important thing to keep the title."

"Cousin, this... It's not as serious as you say, is it? If you oppose commercial taxes, you will be cut down?" Chang Mao was startled and swallowed.
