Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "Just like your home? ”

Liu Haojia smiled and said: "That's right, it's like a minister's family!" But the minister should talk about the honorable part first. They rely on their aristocratic status to make a lot of money, often meddle in profiteering industries and never pay taxes. But what they did was nothing compared to the civil officials and the big families! After all, now that the imperial court is a civil official, how can they collect taxes from their own people? They have expanded the preferential and exemption policies given by the imperial court indefinitely, and now they have made it so that as long as they are scholars, they will not pay taxes, so the tax loss of the dynasty is serious! ”

Later, Liu Haojia talked in detail about how civil officials used their identities to evade taxes. Hearing that Emperor Wanli was furious, even the joy of receiving the money just now was completely melted away by the anger!

After listening to Liu Haojia's story, Emperor Wanli slammed the teacup on the ground and said loudly: "It's the opposite!" This Ming Dynasty is still not the world of the Zhu family! I want to see Mr. Zhang and tell him that from tomorrow onwards, the whole world will start collecting business taxes! ”

After speaking, he stood up and was about to go out, but was held by Zhang Jia and Liu Haojia, and finally pressed him down. Then Liu Haojia comforted: "Long live Lord, now is definitely not the time to collect business taxes!" ”

Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Why is it not the time? Do they dare not listen to my will? ”

Liu Haojia gritted his teeth and said, "They dare!" And very daring! ”

Emperor Wanli was stunned when he heard this, and then he was furious, and said loudly: "I want to see how they dare to do it?" Do they still dare to rebel? ”

Liu Haojia nodded vigorously and said, "They dare!" ”

Emperor Wanli was a little frightened by this sentence and sat there in disbelief. He loves money, but if the world is in turmoil because of taxes, it won't be worth it!

Liu Haojia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had quieted down. He wanted to pry Emperor Wanli to do something, but now that he and Emperor Wanli are both fledgling, chaos is looking for death! So he said eagerly: "Long live Lord, if you can't do this now, it doesn't mean that you can't do it in the future!" There will definitely be a chance in the future! ”

Emperor Wanli glared at Liu Haojia for a while before saying, "Liu Aiqing, what do you think, tell me the original!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live the lord, let's not talk about anything else, you see that Zhang Xiangye didn't easily start with the commercial tax, it can be seen that there is a danger here, if you are not careful, you will be ruined and die!" ”

Emperor Wanli slapped the table angrily and said, "Then I don't care, let them take what they should do to the court into their own pockets?" ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live the Lord don't worry, in fact, what Zhang Xiangye is doing now is the basis for what we want to do in the future!" We can wait for Zhang Xiangye to clarify the acres of land in the world, sort out various taxes such as salt and tea, and the income of the treasury will definitely rise sharply at that time! I'm afraid that it will take ten years to do this work, and then Long Live Lord should also be in power! When the time comes, long live the Lord to spend money on training elite soldiers diligently and shock the world, what else can't be done? ”

Emperor Wanli was reminded by Liu Haojia's diligent training of elite soldiers! In the early years, he discussed the issue of the army with Liu Haojia. At that time, he was very sad to find that he did not have the military power that he could master! If he really messes around and messes up the world, it is not impossible to change the emperor! Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli's expression finally stabilized.

Liu Haojia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was completely quiet. I told him a simple plan. It doesn't matter if you are pro-government first, then accumulate money to train elite soldiers to shock the world, calm down the subordinate, and then the cycle continues, you can control the world in your hands!

Although he didn't come up with anything concrete, it was enough for Emperor Wanli to think about it! Liu Haojia knew by looking at his eyes that maybe he had put the name of the First Emperor of the Ages on his head!

Liu Haojia finally finished speaking, and after a brief summary, he deliberately diverted the topic and said: "Long live Lord, now the silver is piled up in the small school yard in the west of the city, and I have been sending someone to guard it, I don't know when you will send someone to get it?" ”

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he was finally distracted, and immediately said, "Tomorrow! Let Zhang Jia get it tomorrow! ”

Liu Haojia said: "That Weichen will go out of the palace to prepare for a while. By the way, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention! ”

Emperor Wanli rubbed his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?" Is it important? ”

Liu Haojia said: "That's the case, there are three people who are responsible for collecting money with Wechen, Wechen has persuaded the three of them to take refuge in His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will give them more shelter in the future!" ”

Emperor Wanli perked up when he heard this, and said, "Who are they?" What are the positions? ”

Liu Haojia described the positions of Wu Shilang and several people in detail, and even told Emperor Wanli how to persuade them. After hearing this, Emperor Wanli laughed and said, "Liu Aiqing is really a blessed general!" With these three people taking refuge, my strength can be a little greater! ”

Zhang Jia also nodded again and again to express his joy. In terms of position, these three people may not be remarkable, but their positions are relatively critical!

General Sun Shen himself controls a part of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, if he really defects to Emperor Wanli, it means that he has a soldier and horse in his hands, although it can't be said to be of any great effect, but it can still be done to contain it in times of crisis!

Compared with General Sun, Wu Shilang is even more important! In his position, he could completely screen some people who were politically inclined to Emperor Wanli to enter the officialdom. Although the effect is a little slow, this is a tear open under the strict control of the civilian clique! Anyway, Emperor Wanli felt that he was still young, and he still had time to wait.

As for saying that although Zhang Xianling's position is a little lower, he also has advantages in the position of Shuntianfu, after all, he is nominally in charge of the political security of the entire Jingshi. If you use it well, it's also a wonder soldier!

Liu Haojia saw that Emperor Wanli was happy, so he immediately said: "Long live Lord, if you think the three of them are available, you might as well write a secret letter and give it to Weichen to take out and show the three of them, so as to calm their hearts!" Wechen thought that these three people would have more time to use in the future, and it was not appropriate to expose them to the courtiers too early, as that would make them ostracized. ”

Emperor Wanli nodded again and again and said, "You're right! I'll write now, and you'll show them when you go out, but you'll have to destroy it when they read it!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live the lord, rest assured, Weichen must do it properly!" ”
