Li Jin was in Shanghu County, and the commercial tax collected was one out of ten.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang angry, and he couldn't wait to rush into the county government now and kill Li Jin, a dog.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:

"Are you just going to let a dog officer like him exploit you? Won't you go to Beijing to sue the royal court? ”

The shopkeeper, who was still smiling, heard Zhu Yuanzhang scolding Li Jin, and his face suddenly became pale.

"Don't insult my lord."

"The county ordered the adults to collect an amount of one out of ten taxes, which is a matter of course."

"Who in Shanghu County doesn't owe us the favor of the county magistrate, and those who can live in Shanghu County must be grateful to my county magistrate."

"Don't say ten taxes and one, even if it's five taxes and one, we are willing."

"If the guest officer dares to speak disrespectfully to my county magistrate, please leave immediately, and our store will not entertain you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and looked at the changes in the shopkeeper before and after.

Just because he scolded Li Jin for being a dog official, this shopkeeper has this attitude towards himself?

Seeing this, Queen Ma hurriedly came out to play a round and said:

"Don't be angry, it's just that the head of my family heard that the ten taxes are too high, and I am just upset for you."

"After all, we are also businessmen, and we have never heard of such a high tax."

The shopkeeper's face softened slightly, and he explained:

"My county order treats businessmen well, and in Shanghu County, it is to attract investment, treat businessmen equally, and actively develop business."

"Except for Shanghu County, I have never seen a county with such a commercial atmosphere."

"Not only that, but the county magistrate will also promise the merchants, and the backstage of the merchants who pay taxes is the county government."

"If anyone dares to make trouble in the merchant's shop, then the prefectural magistrate will severely punish them, or even directly execute them."

"In Shanghu County, if you pay this tax, you don't have to worry about any other taxes, this is the promise given to us by the county magistrate."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

Although he Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a policy of reducing forced labor and reducing taxes for merchants.

But the status of businessmen has always been looked down upon, which also leads to businessmen being bullied wherever they do business.

Not only the officials and officials have to eat and take cards, but even the ruffians and hooligans on the street have to collect protection money.

In other words, not to mention ten taxes and one, even five taxes and one are not enough.

Li Jin implements the system of ten taxes and one here, but he, Li Jin, also does practical things, telling all merchants that their backstage is the county government.

It was their county magistrate, Li Jin.

In this way, the businessmen are not oppressed by the officials, and the ruffians and hooligans on the street dare not provoke the county government, and the merchants still make money.

Liu Bowen naturally knew the Tao, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"It's almost noon, why don't we go get something to eat first?"

This is to hand Zhu Yuanzhang down the steps.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then left Buckingham Palace with a few people.

.....

"Berwyn, why do you say Li Jin always has unexpected actions?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang came out, he couldn't help but ask Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen stroked his beard lightly and said:

"There are always amazing things to do."

"I think, this Li Jin is the so-called strange person."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said:

"You say, is our strategy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business wrong?"

Seeing the prosperity of Shanghu County today, Zhu Yuanzhang had doubts about his approach.

In his vision, all dynasties and dynasties were based on agriculture, and only when farmers went to farm, then the country's taxes would increase.

The treasury is sufficient, and the people can eat enough, that is the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's ideal prosperous era.

But in Yangzhou, he felt that his dream of a prosperous world was shattered, and the people there were all eaten, where did he come from in the prosperous world?

But in Shanghu County, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this kind of prosperous scene was not exactly the prosperous scene he was looking forward to?

Could it be that his strategy is wrong, he should be like Li Jin, encourage business, so that the world can enter a prosperous era?

Liu Bowen shook his head and said:

"No, Your Majesty, you are right."

"But the people of Yangzhou eat easily. The people of Shanghu County are rich in food and clothing, and live happily. ”

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and when you think about things, you naturally focus on the great tomorrow."

Liu Bowen began his own analysis:

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit."

"If all the people of the world leave their land behind and don't farm because they make money in business."

"No matter how prosperous the business is, it is just a rootless grass, a water without a source, and a wood without water."

"It is precisely because of the agriculture in Daming that the commerce of Shanghu County can be supported, which is the merit of the emperor."

"Li Jin is just a county order, a corner of the land, how can it be compared to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very comfortable with Liu Bowen's rainbow fart.

"Berwyn, we've found out, or you're comfortable talking."

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and then take a good look at how prosperous Shanghu County is."

....

"Dad, the barbecue in this shop is so fragrant, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious meat."

Zhu Di bent over with his stomach in his hands, and there were words in his mouth.

"If you eat and eat, you know how to eat, so you can't eat less."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bill in his hand angrily, twenty taels of silver, half of which was eaten by this bastard.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Di lovingly and said:

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, and my son is a blessing."

"It's still my mother who loves me."

Zhu Di was very happy to put his arm around Queen Ma and began to spread joy.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly, and lived in Shanghu County for a few more days, just afraid that his old Zhu should go bankrupt.

"Berwyn, do you know what kind of spice you just ate?"

"Why does it feel so fragrant, sprinkled on the barbecue, it is simply a delicacy in the world."

Liu Bowen frowned and thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty:

"It's like benzoin fennel, and cumin."

"A spice in the Sabbath country."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said:

"How come we've never seen this before?"

"Rest is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty, and this cumin is indeed very rare."

"It's amazing that we can eat here."

Liu Bowen explained.

Just as the two were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people in the distance.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen glanced at each other and squeezed into the crowd.

As soon as he approached him, he heard an old man sitting in front of a carriage, holding his leg in one hand and pulling a man's clothes in the other.

"My legs!! My leg is broken!! ”

"It's you who hit me, don't run, you're going to lose money to me!!"

The old man's face was covered in blood, and his face was full of pain, and he looked miserable.

The man who was pulled by the old man had a face full of flesh and a fierce look.

Hearing the old man's words, the man pointed at the old man and scolded:

"Old fellow, I think you're tired of being alive."

"If you dare to blackmail money to the master's head, the master will send you back to the west today."

"You want money? The master has money, but the master will wait for you to die and burn it for you!! ”

So saying, the man was about to return to the carriage, and it seemed that he was really going to crush the old man to death.

When the old man saw this, he immediately wanted to retreat with a panicked face.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to come forward to help, the officials of Shanghu County finally arrived.

"Stop!!"

The officials quickly entered the scene, and without saying a word, they arrested all the people on both sides.

"My lord, I was wronged."

When the man saw the arrival of the servant, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and shouted that he was wronged.

"Now you can remain silent for disrupting public transport and arresting you for intentional injury."

"But everything you say will be used as evidence in court."

As he spoke, he took all the men and the carriage away, and even the old man was also taken away.

There is no trace of mud and water, and the work is extremely fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the efficiency of these officials was quite high, and he was very satisfied.

"Looks like that man is going to jail."

"Jail? What do you do in prison? ”

"Tomorrow the man is expected to be acquitted."

A common man next to him laughed at Zhu Yuanzhang's ignorance.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person who spoke inexplicably.

The man smiled and said mysteriously:

"Hehe, this person is not simple, our county commanders all recognize him."

"You'll see tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

This man hurts people in the street, and even takes people's lives, can he still get away with punishment in this way?

Let's see how this Li Jin will judge the case?

If Li Jin dares to bend the law for personal gain, we will never let him go!!
