Chapter 126: Open Your Eyes and Close Your Eyes
Long live the Lord, the word "China" in the lyrics of the little slave means "the Central Plains Dynasty, the land of China"! ”
After that, Wang Li bowed his hand to the ministers, and then said with a smile: "My lords, the "respect for teachers" and "filial piety" advocated in "Virtue Loads" are virtues that have been inherited for more than 2,000 years;
From the Qin and Han dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties to the present, the dynasties of the Central Plains have all followed the etiquette system and filial piety advocated by Dong Zhongshu;
Such a heavy historical accumulation and the inheritance of 2,000 years of virtue can only be carried by the word "China";
Today, I inherit the virtues of the sages of 2,000 years, based on the Central Plains, overlooking Kyushu, shocking China, and taking loyalty and filial piety as the foundation of the country;
If the word "Daming" replaces "China" in the lyrics, it will inevitably be suspected of blaspheming the sages!
So, where does "hidden evil intentions" begin?
Where does the "great rebellion" begin? ”
Wang Li's clever argument caused a lot of discussion in the palace.
I thought I could put him to death, but I didn't want to, so easily fooled him!
It's reasonable!
It's not that simple, though!
Wen Tiren snorted coldly and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, even if the prince has no intention of rebellion, his tax evasion is an indisputable fact!"
With a huge sum of 1.5 million taels, it is ridiculous that in more than two months, he used "temporary negligence" to deceive the emperor! ”
"Lord Wen!"
Zhu Youzhen was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Li: "Lord Wen, my factory is busy with vanilla coupons all day long, and he can't even take care of eating and sleeping!"
The vanilla with a total value of 4 million, the factory is all dedicated to Long Live Lord, will it evade 1.5 million in taxes?
Think about it with your heels, is it not "momentary negligence", is it deliberate? ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Tiren quickly shut up.
I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it.
After all, the vanilla coupons worth a total of four million were indeed handed over to Zhu Youzhen!
Although it is sold at half price, and although it can only be exchanged after a few months, it is indeed worth four million to the smokers in the West Factory and the market!
Would someone who can donate four million deliberately evade one and a half million in taxes?
No one will believe it!
Unless, in an unknown place, there are countless "one and a half million"!
So, the ministers were speechless, and Zhu Youzhen walked away.
……
Back in Lingji Palace, Wang Li thought hard for a long time, and suddenly felt: The person behind Xue Guoguan is likely to be Zhu Youzhen!
This thought really scared him!
Zhu Youzhen can not "do business", but he can "confiscate" all the tobacco leaves in Sichuan!
How did he know that Sichuan's cigarette production can sell more than 50 million yuan a year!
At least fifty million!
So, what about two years?
What about five years?
What about ten years?
Only you know!
At present, for the sake of the "two million vanilla coupons", Zhu Youzhen may not delve into the tax evasion!
But, he won't forget!
This guy likes "pretending to be a grandson first, then putting on a shelf"!
The commercial ports of Fu and Zhejiang provinces, he will definitely send someone to investigate!
The intensity of the investigation this time is definitely different from the past!
Such a large sum of silver is enough for anyone to do anything!
Of course, this is just speculation!
As long as you find Su Yingxia and then follow the vine, you will be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!
If it was really Zhu Youzhen's doing, for the sake of safety, Jingshi couldn't stay!
Even if it wasn't for Zhu Youzhen, Jingshi couldn't stay!
Life first!
I don't want to do this kind of stupid thing!
Before he got up with murderous intentions, hurry up!
Slip to the south for the time being, or Sichuan!
Of course, if you can keep the identity of the "factory company", you can make a few more years!
By the way, the vanilla coupon is still being printed, and Zhu Youzhen has not received the silver yet!
Should, for the time being, probably, he won't touch me yet!
……
"The red lotus fragrance is still jade;
lightly dismiss Luo Shang and go on the Lanzhou alone;
Who in the clouds sends brocade books;
When the word goose returns, the moon is full in the west building......"
"Long live the lord, Lord Hou Ke's bribe, the amount is too big!
You see...... It was handed over to the West Factory...... Or the East Factory? ”
Zhang Yixian asked softly, but Zhu Youzhen didn't seem to hear it.
Without taking his eyes off it, he stared at the portrait on the table.
Fingers, inadvertently, brushed over the face of the person in the like.
“
Flowers float and water flows;
One lovesickness, two sorrows;
There is no way to do this, and it can be eliminated;
only frowned, but on the heart;
But I was in my heart......
But I ...... in my heart."
In muttering, Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly: "In the world, there is such a beautiful and refined woman!"
She is only fourteen years old, why is she worried? ”
"Uh...... Long live the lord, the prostitute's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, but it's just ...... Just do what you like with men!
The lyrics of this song "The Moon is Full in the West Building" are neither written by this woman nor by the prince, but by Li Qingzhao, a lyricist in the Song Dynasty!
The fourteen-year-old prostitute sang this song, but she was worried about giving new words!
Hooray, Lord, don't be fooled by its appearance......"
"Ahem...... Ahem......"
Cao Huachun coughed softly, interrupted Zhang Yixian's words, and said softly: "A woman from Fireworks Willow Lane, no matter how outstanding her appearance is, it is difficult to be elegant!"
As the old saying goes: a woman is virtuous if she is not talented!
It is indeed a good thing that women are talented and talented!
However, it is a woman's duty to be talented and not to show off......"
"I never said she was talented!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head, his eyes still staring at the portrait:
"At a young age, this girl can shock Qin Huai with a song "Virtuous Load", and she must be outstanding!
I heard that she has a mellow singing voice, a delicate voice, and a tactful tune;
If only I could see it with my own eyes......"
"Long live the lord, this girl is the courtesan of Yixiang Building!
She has a major relationship with Lao Bustard and Lord Hou's bribery case!
The little slave thought that he could bring her back to Beijing with the old bustard!
Then ......"
"Very good! I'll leave this matter to you!
As for Hou Ke's bribery case...... You wait to stand down first, Rong Zhen carefully considers it! ”
"Whoa!"
Cao Huachun respectfully retreated outside the hall, and immediately summoned a few cronies: "Long live the Lord has a will: go to the southern capital as soon as possible and escort Su Yingxia, the old bustard of Yixianglou, back to Beijing!"
Yixianglou courtesan, Liu Ru is ......"
Cao Wenchun made a gesture of wiping his neck, and several cronies did not ask much, and hurriedly took the order.
At this moment, Wang Li just arrived.
"Yo, it's the prince!"
Cao Huachun didn't move, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Princess, long live the lord is angry!"
You shouldn't come here now! ”
"Oh, I was negligent for a while and missed some silver, which caused the Long Live Lord to be angry, and I can only bear the guilt!
So, please let Gonggong Cao report it! ”
"Well said, well said! Princess, please wait! ”
……
Regarding the evasion of tax payment, Zhu Youzhen was not angry!
Or rather, he didn't dare to be angry yet!
This, as Wang Li expected!
However, Zhu Youzhen unceremoniously rejected the request to "go to Sichuan to supervise the production of vanilla"!
"None of the ministers in the court are truly incorruptible!" Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly and glanced at Wang Li:
"I already knew about your corruption!
You said that you have no interest in power, only silver!
I am convinced of this!
I have also said that you are my sharpest knife!
It was, it is, and it will be!
Factory, your talent should not be used only to earn silver!
You should stay in Jingshi, stay by my side!
As long as you help me quell the rebellion, help me exterminate the thieves, and help me defeat Huang Taiji, I don't care how much money you are greedy for!
So, I never wanted to touch you!
You don't have to flee to Sichuan, either! ”
Zhu Youzhen's gaze is very sincere!
His words were indeed from the heart!
He has seen through the essence of the upward quarrel!
The minister's inaction, he also saw through it!
If you think about it carefully, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the cabinet assistants who have been removed for several terms, if you talk about efficiency and ability, no one can compare to Wei Zhongxian!
It's not as good as Wang Li in front of him!
Let's ask, who can give himself 20 million taels of silver for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?
With the money in hand, what else can't be done?
If he wants to be greedy, let him be greedy!
What's wrong with being greedy for my inner treasury?
As long as it's not a rebellion, it's all easy to say!
Corruption, just turn a blind eye, it's not a big deal!
Zhu Youzhen's eyes and tone really don't look like a fraud!
But in Wang Li's opinion, Zhu Youzhen's eyes and tone at this moment are exactly the same as "the city is windy, be careful of catching a cold"!
Don't let your guard down!
At the beginning, it was his "digging out his heart and lungs" that made Yuan Chonghuan paralyzed!
It didn't take long for Huang Taiji to still be outside the city, and he changed his face!
This guy is cunning and cunning!
If you believe his nonsense, you don't know how to die!
I heard that everyone who becomes an emperor has been learning the power skills of "imperial ministers" since he was a child!
So, put away your set!
It didn't work for me!
"Long live the little slave, the little slave is really scared......
In fact, the little slave went to Sichuan, which was by no means what Long Live Ye thought!
Instead, Sichuan's tobacco leaves are about to be harvested, and there can be no mistakes!
If you can't get 40 million herbs, the little slave really can't explain it! ”
"If you can't explain, you don't have to!
Even if the harvest is cut in half, I don't plan to ask you to explain anything!
By the way, a few days ago, I impeached your Sichuan governor Zhang Lun, and I have removed him from his post!
Liu Hanru, who has just been appointed, will do his best when he arrives in Sichuan, and he will be able to take care of your vanilla! ”
Hearing this, Wang Li wanted to die!
This Zhu Youzhen is really insidious!
To put it nicely, let Liu Hanru help take care of the vanilla!
Essentially, not to let him stare at me?
This guy blocked Lao Tzu's back road to death!
What I wanted to say, he had already guessed!
Alas!
Speaking of which, I'm embarrassed to go to Sichuan?
Since you are staring at me in Sichuan, I will go to Jiangnan!
In the name of taxation, I don't think I will object to it, right?
"Long live the lord, the little slave heard...... Father-in-law Wei's taxation in Jiangnan doesn't seem to have improved!
The meaning of the little slave is ......"
"No need!"
Zhu Youzhen shook his head, his eyes were like torches: "Gonggong Wei levies three or forty thousand taels of taxes every month, and it is not easy to get rid of the daily expenses of the East Factory, and it is not easy to transport back seven or eight thousand taels to me!"
The collection of commercial taxes in the south is not as simple as you think! ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were stunned, and his face showed murderous intent: "Factory father, before you go to the south, someone wants to get rid of you!"
For this reason, he did not hesitate to scrape together a million taels of silver!
If you go to the South, how can I rest assured? ”
"Hooray, what do you mean......"
"In the commercial ports of Fuzhou and Zhejiang provinces, the tax silver you bring back every year is about 1780,000 yuan;
I really don't know how much you have coveted from it, and I don't want to know;
What is certain is that the tariff revenue in recent years is definitely more than five million taels!
Otherwise, wouldn't the people who want to get rid of you lose a lot? ”
Hearing this, Wang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Too much to worry about, really too much to worry about!
It turned out that Xue Guoguan's impeachment of Hou Sui and his own tax evasion were not instigated by Zhu Youzhen behind his back!
It turned out that the bottom line of his tolerance for corruption was estimated to be around five million!
Of course, the premise of this bottom line is to give him a steady stream of silver!
For example, the annual "tariff" of more than 100,000 yuan, the "royalty" of more than 5 million a while ago, and the upcoming 2 million vanilla coupons!
At least for now, he really won't move himself!
What if he knew that I had made 100 million?
Is it so angry that it explodes on the spot, or is it foaming at the mouth?
"Since the Lord of Long Live has planned everything, the little slave will stay in Jingshi for the time being!
It's just that...... The person who conspired with Xue Guoguan......
Hey!
Long live the man, the person on the painting is so familiar!
I think I've seen it somewhere!
Who the hell is she? ”
