Chapter 369: Win Ma
Hearing that Shen Jiaojiao was going to collect money again, someone finally couldn't help it, "How can this also collect taxes?" ”
"We are all in the court for official business, how can we collect our taxes."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
"Your Majesty is not short of money......
"Yes, I'm not short of money." Shen Jiaojiao looked at His Royal Highness with a smile, her eyes were cold, "So you are short of money, are you?" ”
"You can't feed you, can you?"
"The tax I collect today is only one thousandth of your wealth, isn't it? Yes? I can't stand it! ”
"The common people only have a few dollars, and if they are exploited by you like this, the common people will not be angry and hate, right?"
"You're forcing the people to rebel, aren't you? You guys are tired of life, and you want the people to rush to your house and kill you to vent their anger, right?! ”
Shen Jiaojiao's loud questioning made everyone feel the coercion from the superiors, and their minds were blank for a while, and they didn't know what to say.
I only know that I pleaded guilty in unison, "Weichen doesn't dare!" ”
"Don't dare? I see how dare you! ”
"Most of you are people who have read poetry and books, and you know better than me how various dynasties in history died."
"You have managed to get to where you are today after ten years of cold windows, do you want to cause a catastrophe because of your greed for a while!"
was said by Shen Jiaojiao, Baiguan couldn't help but recall the stories of the lost country in history, and when they thought of the possible ending they had, everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.
Do they really ...... Too greedy?
The one-armed old marquis next to him didn't care, and couldn't help but snort, "Even if they want to rebel, do they have that ability?" ”
"Ability?" Shen Jiaojiao felt that this question was a little ridiculous, "There are people with skills everywhere, but they may not have realized their abilities." ”
"Just like all the marquis, most of them were born commoners, at that time, did you know that you could one day be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister?"
"If it weren't for the previous dynasty's deception, you wouldn't be able to live, would you have nothing to do?"
"Why let others taste the humiliation I tasted at the beginning?"
"There are so many limits to the patience of the common people, isn't it good for you to go a long time, you have to kill all the people? Is it good for you to turn them back? ”
Listening to Shen Jiaojiao's words, the old ancestors finally recalled that they had been bullied by the previous dynasty, and then they couldn't bear to expose the scene.
I remember that when I was a common man, they hated corrupt officials the most, hated wars the most, and hated messy taxes the most.
But look at the way they are now, they have become the kind of people they hated the most.
Seeing that His Highness still had some people who didn't care, Shen Jiaojiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled instead of being angry, "I told you that if you refuse to reduce taxes, then I will learn from you." ”
"I know all the taxes you pay every day, and I will collect them tenfold according to the total amount of your daily taxes!"
"Anyway, the treasury is empty, and you are willing to pay the treasury as a villain, and it's too late for me to be happy!"
Hearing Shen Jiaojiao's words, several officials who were originally unimpressed by Shen Jiaojiao's words turned ugly.
If Shen Jiaojiao asked them for money tenfold, wouldn't the more they became officials, the more they lost money?
Isn't this a robbery?!
What makes everyone even more painful is that even if they know that it is a robbery, they can't avoid it.
As courtiers, they can't help but enter the palace, right?
You can't fly in mid-air when you enter the temple, right?
Therefore they have to pay this tax, and they have to pay it if they don't, unless they are not officials.
But after so many years of hard study, they finally climbed to today, how can this official position be said to give up?
Seeing the tangled looks of His Royal Highness, Shen Jiaojiao took the lead and set an example, "I ask all Aiqing to be honest and honest, and of course I can't be arrogant and lascivious." ”
"From today onwards, all the offerings in the palace will be halved."
Shen Jiaojiao took this head, which was equivalent to taking a step back and giving the civil and military officials and princes a step.
Immediately, the old prince stood up and responded, "The old minister is willing to obey His Majesty's will and cut taxes as required." ”
After a pause, he continued: "Since the treasury is empty, the old minister is willing to sacrifice 100,000 taels of gold to fill the treasury and strengthen my strength. ”
As he spoke, he looked back at the Hou Ye behind him, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Brothers, my old man has made a statement, now it's up to you.
was watched by Shen Jiaojiao and the old man who tortured their souls, and finally, the Hou Ye stood up one after another.
"The old minister is willing to cut taxes and give 50,000 taels of gold."
"The old minister is willing to cut taxes and give 30,000 taels of gold."
"The old minister is willing to cut taxes and give 30,000 taels of gold."
"The old minister is willing to cut taxes and give 20,000 taels of gold."
……
The founding ministers were relieved, and the rest of the things went on very smoothly.
By the time Shen Jiaojiao left the court, not only had the tax cuts settled, but the treasury was also filled with hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.
It's a real win.
Of course, not everyone is willing to pay this money, just like Guo Zhang and his cronies, who are reluctant to pay it.
But there is no way, everyone else has paid it, and they don't pay it, which is not appropriate.
Otherwise, who knows how they are written in the history books?
Although it is true that they have done something that will stink for 10,000 years, if they really let them stink for 10,000 years, they will never be willing.
"Master Guo, what should I do next?"
"That's it?"
"Do you really want to throw away this piece of fat?"
"Is there a way to stop it?"
"Block?" Guo Zhang sneered, "The wood is already in the boat, how can you stop it?" What to stop? ”
"What then? Is that all? "Someone was indignant.
"It's impossible to stop it, but we can add to her blockage." Guo Zhang said, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How do you add to the blockage?"
"Doesn't she want to pretend to be a good person in front of the people and want to be a Ming Jun? We're going to mess up her reputation! ”
"Let all the people of Dawu know that the new emperor is arrogant and lascivious, greedy for pleasure, and is inferior to the previous emperor."
"Great idea!" Someone's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands, "Tomorrow, Xia Guan will find a storyteller to make up a few stories, and promise to let everyone know her story within three days." ”
"No!" Guo Zhang stopped, "What's the point of that kind of petty fight?" Before the decree of tax reduction has been issued, we will do it, and we will make a big one! ”
"Big?" Hearing this, everyone was a little shocked, "What's the big one?" Isn't there going to be a problem? ”
"What can happen?" Guo Zhang's face was full of pride, "Everyone, please be okay." ”
"Tomorrow, something big will definitely happen in the Northern Capital!"
"When the time comes, let's see how she cleans up!"
