protect our patriarch

Chapter 421 Playing with the wind and clouds with one hand!Master Meng surrenders (seeking monthly ticket)
……

"Absurd, this matter is really ridiculous." Hearing that old thing Deshun, Prince Dexin wanted to drag him into the water together, his heart was agitated, and he was furious, "Deshun, you are insulting the royal family." majesty and honor!"

"Dexin, what kind of dance are you dancing?" Prince Deshun squinted at his old opponent, and said with a sneer, "Since our ancestor Ziweixuandu opened up the great cadre, what we have always upheld is that the royal family and the aristocratic family rule the world together. Why can the aristocratic family check the tax, but our royal family can't? Could it be that your Prince Dexin's mansion really has extremely serious tax evasion?"

In Dagan, all farmland or other industries have to pay taxes according to regulations.

The royal family has many county prince's mansions and prince's mansions, each of which is a giant, and each mansion has a large number of high-quality farms and various industries under its name.

This part of the industry is a semi-independent industry of each government, which is operated by themselves, and its output is also used by the princes themselves.For example, the Baiyun Tower under the name of Prince Heng belongs to this category.

In addition, the royal family also has various royal estates.

These Huangzhuang belong to the family property and are shared by the entire royal family.This part of the assets is very large, and it is under the unified jurisdiction and operation of the Royal Clan House. Its output is mainly used for the basic support of most of the royal family, as well as subsidies for outstanding children of the royal family, etc.

For example, in addition to the national tax support, a considerable part of His Majesty's support is provided by the royal clan's mansion.

However, whether it is a semi-independent property of the royal family or a family property controlled by the royal clan's mansion, it is still taxed according to the Dagan system, and the tax rate is exactly the same as that of other aristocratic families, and there is no exception.

This is also the rule set by the founding emperor Ziwei Xuandu imitating the fairy dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country.

After all, if the royal family does not need to pay taxes, there will be countless small families who will entrust their properties to the royal family. As long as they are willing to give [-]% to half of the tax payable in return, most of the royal families who are short of money are willing to accept the affiliation.As time goes by, isn't the family's property all attached to the name of the royal family?

In addition, if the royal family does not pay taxes, how can the industries of other aristocratic families compete with the royal family's industries?In terms of cost alone, there is no competition at all.As time goes by, isn't this world full of royal property?

If this is the case, let's not talk about whether the family is willing to continue to play with your royal family.If the whole world is the royal family's property, and if there is no tax, where will the tax come from?

The aristocratic family might as well sell all their belongings, and then go to Xianchao to buy land to live on.

This kind of national structure, I am afraid that it will not last for many years before it will be finished.

Therefore, royal property taxation is also an extremely important part of taxation.It is also because of this that Prince Deshun danced with extra confidence.

Prince Dexin's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and he was a little flustered.

As a prince, how could he not know the virtues of the property of his own prince's mansion?
Thanks to the fact that no one dared to investigate, the family property has been cheating a lot in terms of tax payment these years.Although he didn't calculate the specific figures in detail, he knew that the loopholes were definitely huge.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", so is Prince Dexin, the situation of his descendants and the prince's prince's mansion is naturally not much better.

If there is a thorough investigation of taxation, there may be a lot of disturbances.

"Your Majesty." Prince Dexin turned to look at Emperor Longchang, and said with grief and indignation, "Prince Deshun really did everything he could to support King Anjun to ascend the throne. At this moment, my lineage of Dexin is about to assist When King Kang drew up a whole set of plans for conquest in southern Xinjiang, he was agitating for tax inspections, clearly trying to disrupt our plans and be suspected of slowing down."

The county kings of his lineage, as well as those aristocratic families who did not want to be taxed, all joined in, accusing Prince Deshun of ignoring the country's plans, and tripping the Kang County king at a critical moment.

Even if it is necessary to check the tax, it will not be too late to wait for King Kang to return from victory.

Prince Deshun sneered and said: "If you want to draw up a plan to conquer southern Xinjiang, just draw it up yourself. There is no contradiction or conflict between the tax inspection and this matter. Lord Meng Yuanbai and his team have sufficient tax revenue With experience, there is no need to bother the prince's mansion or county mansion to come forward, you can check it clearly and clearly."

"Your Majesty." Dingguo Duke Yinda also said righteously and strictly, "Prince Dexin's lineage is so prevaricated and finds excuses to find reasons to avoid tax inspections. It is really hard for me not to doubt whether they have a huge taxation issue. Problem. Maybe, it’s really rotten to the bone.”

"What's more, what an important strategic plan is the conquest of southern Xinjiang? If the grand marshal is full of loopholes in the tax payable, how can people believe that he is capable and qualified to preside over the overall situation of the conquest of southern Xinjiang? Maybe, Germany Xin Yimai proposed this plan just to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune from the war."

"To sum up, the veteran proposes that the Kangjun Palace and the Anjun Palace can conduct tax inspections at the same time. If the error of the tax payable by the Kangjun Palace is not more than [-]%, no, [-]%! As long as it is not more than [-]%, I, Wang Yinda, will be the first to do it. King Tingkang became the Grand Marshal of the Conquest of Southern Xinjiang."

At this time, Emperor Longchang who was sitting on the emperor's chair did not have the impetuous and casualness at first, but frowned slightly, with a stern complexion and restrained eyes, almost no one could see his thoughts.

Despite the quarrel below, he didn't open his mouth to express his opinion.

Until Wang Yinda finished the last sentence.

Only then did Emperor Longchang look at Prince Dexin and King Kangjun, and said calmly, "Dexin, Chengsi, what do you say?"

Lao Yao at the side sighed deeply when he saw this.

That guy Wang Shouzhe is really ruthless, and his grasp of people's hearts is really amazing.His blow not only hit the weakness of Dexin's lineage, but also hit His Majesty's weakness.

The foundation of a country's strong national power is its population and its taxation.

With sufficient tax revenue, the country can expand faster, own more land, and feed more people. Only by entering a virtuous circle can the country become stronger.

Just as Wang Shouzhe "discussed the Great Emperor" when he was drinking with Long Wuji in private, thinking that his majesty conquered the Southern Qin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, and it seemed majestic with one enemy and two, but why has there been no real result until now?Instead, they beat and beat the treasury and impoverished it!

In the final analysis, it still lies in population and money.

Without enough money, how can we support more troops?How can we subsidize and train more masters?
It is said that the Barbarian Gu tribe in Southern Borderlands is difficult to fight, but if Dagan has a stronger army and can organize an army and logistics comparable to that of the Immortal Dynasty, sweeping the Barbarian Gu tribe in Southern Borderlands is like picking something out of a bag.

Previously, His Majesty saw that Wang Shouzhe could make a lot of money, and asked him to increase Longzuo County's tax revenue by [-]% within ten years. It seemed that he was putting on little shoes for Wang Shouzhe and deliberately embarrassing him.But among them, there may not be the idea of ​​exploring Wang Shouzhe's bottom, hoping to see if he can really come up with a plan to make a fortune for Daqian.

In case Wang Shouzhe had any plan to get rich that he was reluctant to take out, this squeeze might be squeezed out directly.

Rectify taxes!

How could His Majesty not know that no matter the royal family or the aristocratic family, they will more or less make a fuss about taxes.If everyone can pay taxes in full, the national strength will inevitably increase.

Just as Meng Yuanbai said, this is a long-standing disease.Faced with this chronic illness, even if His Majesty intends to cure it, he is still like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to speak.

But now, His Majesty's lifespan is about to expire, which is precisely the most powerful and most suitable time.

It just so happened that Wang Shouzhe "unintentionally" came up with a plan that seemed feasible.

Looking at His Majesty's appearance, it seems that he already has a plan in mind.

Lao Yao couldn't help but look at King Kang and Prince Dexin with some sympathy.

I really don't know if their luck is too bad, or they are used to judging others by themselves, what kind of plan is hard to come up with, and they have to make a fuss about tax inspection to embarrass Wang?
As a result, Wang Shouzhe used this to fight back, but they themselves fell into the storm of tax inspection.

Following the calm question of Emperor Longchang.

Both Prince Dexin and King Kangjun trembled in their hearts. They knew His Majesty's personality too well.Asking questions with this tone and expression is definitely not asking for their opinions.

But can their taxes be checked?Once the investigation continues, I'm afraid something big will happen.

Immediately, Prince Dexin bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice, now that the battle in southern Xinjiang is imminent, we must not..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Longchang sneered.

The emperor ignored him, and looked across the entire Dinggan Hall. His voice was not loud, but it was full of the emperor's terrifying coercion: "You all keep saying that you can't find out, and you must focus on the overall situation."

"I'll just ask you a question."

"Why did the Changning Wang family investigate, Dingguo Duke's Mansion investigate, and Anjun Prince's Mansion investigate, but if you were born to investigate you, it would ruin the overall situation?"

Emperor Lingxu's invisible anger, as if substantive, made everyone lower their heads, and cold sweat kept rolling down their foreheads.This is not only the power of the emperor, but also the crushing of the level of life and strength.

"Meng Yuanbai." Emperor Longchang said indifferently.

"The minister is here." Meng Yuanbai responded with a bow.

His face was pale, and his whole body was already wet with sweat.He understood that he was completely involved in the big incident, and that if he took a careless step next, he might step into the abyss.

"I know that you are 'superb in your business' and have always been 'unselfish'." Emperor Longchang softened his tone a little, "I give you the [Canglong Sword Order] to preside over this tax inspection. If there is any disobedience or obstruction , Kill Unforgiven!"

Canglong Sword Sword Token?This is a sword order that can temporarily mobilize the national Taoist tool [Canglong Sword]. Under this sword order, whoever dares to act rashly will be guilty of conspiracy.

All the civil and military ministers were shocked when they heard this.Your Majesty is determined to check taxes!
The lineage of Prince Dexin was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and panicked.What should we do about this matter?
"My lord, I will never give up even if I die." Even though Meng Yuanbai had 1 reluctances in his heart, he did not dare to resist the order.Fortunately, with the Canglong Sword and Sword Order, at least no one would dare to obstruct the work.

Big trouble!

There are hundreds of civil and military ministers present, all of whom have family businesses, and there are more or less loopholes in taxation.Once you find them...

But who dares to disobey the might of the Great Emperor?
"Your Majesty, although Mr. Meng is skilled in tax inspection, he still has limited manpower. It is absolutely impossible to thoroughly investigate the family of the whole country." Today's Prince Deshun returned to the Dachaohui for the first time in hundreds of years, but he seemed extraordinarily active. He is clear-headed, "In my opinion, it is better to concentrate on investigating the two princes' mansions of me and Dexin, the two princes' mansions of Chengsi and Mingyuan, and the two mansions of Duke Anguo and Duke Dinguo, as representatives of tax inspections." .”

"As princes, county kings, and state dukes, we should set an example for the world."

"As for other royal families and aristocratic families, they can conduct internal self-examination and self-correction. If they find any omissions, they can go to the local government, county, or Sancai to make up for the tax."

As soon as Prince Deshun's words came out, all the members present except the Dexin lineage and the Zhao lineage all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although self-examination and tax payment are very likely to hurt their muscles and bones, it is better than being punished. After finding out, he announced nakedly that the world is going well.Moreover, since it is a self-examination, how much tax to pay can be decided by oneself, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

Instinctively and subconsciously, everyone developed a somewhat favorable impression of Prince Deshun.

However, in the next moment, their goodwill disappeared again.

Only because Prince Deshun added: "After all the royal families and aristocratic families have checked and corrected themselves, the Sancai Division can conduct spot checks across the country. At that time, if the aristocratic families with omissions and omissions are found, they will not only be fined a hundred times the tax. The relevant accountants should bear the responsibility, and if the circumstances are serious, they can be sent to the cannon fodder camp to atone for their crimes."

Everyone broke into a cold sweat.This is too brutal.In this way, even if other members of the family want to cheat on taxes, the head of the family and the accountant will not do it.

"If someone reports tax evasion by a family, once it is verified, the whistleblower can be rewarded with huge rewards." Preferences are given in every way.”

A series of measures came out of Prince Deshun's mouth, as if he had thought about it long ago.

Even Emperor Longchang looked sideways at Prince Deshun, this old guy has been fishing for hundreds of years by the West Sea, and he has made a lot of progress.

After a little thought, Emperor Longchang said: "Deshun's words are quite reasonable. If that's the case, let's start with Dexin, Prince Deshun's mansion, Kang and Anjun's mansions, and the mansions of the two princes."

"The rest of the royal family will conduct self-examination and self-correction at the same time, make up for tax evasion within 20 years, and re-register the properties that have been concealed, less, or omitted. After self-examination, those who find out major faults will be severely punished."

"Retreat!"

The voice of the Great Emperor echoed endlessly in the Dingqian Hall.

It is a final decision, and no one can refute it.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

All the civil and military ministers saluted and drank together.

……

This time the court will fluctuate greatly, and the moment it comes to court, naturally it has aroused many private discussions.

Emperor Longchang came down from court, but he didn't go to the Humble Administrator's Pavilion. Instead, he went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, fed the cubs, and then planned to visit Wang Anye and other cubs along the way.

He walked casually, his expression no longer majestic, but rather relaxed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty." Lao Yao said with a smile, "After this tax rectification, the whole country will be cleared of the evil trend of tax evasion and tax evasion, and the national strength will also be greatly improved."

"You old bastard, are you still so happy that I was used by Wang Shouzhe as a spear?" Emperor Longchang stared angrily and said, "To be honest, have you taken refuge in Prince An long ago, hoping that I would die soon? , abdicated to Xian?"

"Your Majesty has wronged you~~ This old slave is His Majesty's man, and his death is His ghost." Lao Yao begged for mercy with a "terrified" face, "This old slave is happy for His Majesty~ You have long wanted to rectify taxes, but I haven't been able to find a suitable reason and opportunity. Isn't Wang Shouzhe's trouble now playing into your hands?"

"Stinky shameless old thing." After the Great Emperor Longchang laughed and cursed, his face gradually became solemn, "I don't have any excuses and opportunities, I just can't make up my mind. If you want to convince the public about the tax inspection, you must first follow the law. The royal family begins. The face of the royal family, this wave is about to fall."

"Wang Shouzhe's counterattack this time made me make up my mind. Stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. Since it is a stubborn disease, naturally the faster the knife, the harder the strike, and the cleaner the cleanup."

"Although I am old, my prestige and prestige are still there, and everyone knows that I am moody and have a bad temper. It is still unknown how many people will be buried with me before I die. If I take action, they will not dare to mess around. No Taking advantage of this opportunity to cure this stubborn disease, is it possible that we are still waiting for the new emperor to take over this matter?"

How could Emperor Longchang not know what the new emperor was like at the beginning of his ascension?At that time, there were a bunch of elders on top, a bunch of relatives by his side, and his own prestige had not yet been achieved. How could it be so easy for him to do something now?
"Your Majesty is wise." Lao Yao flattered and sighed, "This time, the prestige of Prince Dexin and King Kangjun's line will be compromised."

"That's their own fault, and they dare not even accept a [-]% error. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?" Emperor Longchang said with a slightly dissatisfied face, "Especially that old thing Dexin, who is not right, affecting the whole litter. Cheng Si's child wasn't like this before, he was taught badly by Dexin all these years."

"I just took the opportunity to beat Wu Chengsi, to make him understand that if he still wants to fight for the position of emperor, he has to walk upright and sit upright. How can he convince the crowd with his whole body covered in sieves?"

"The old slave also hopes that after this experience, King Kang can learn from the pain and truly become a capable and responsible son-in-law." Lao Yao echoed.

"It depends on whether he can really be reborn in Nirvana when he is facing difficulties. If he can't, he can only be eliminated." Emperor Longchang said calmly, "The dispute between emperor and son cannot be sloppy. Ten thousand years of national luck."

"Your Majesty, that guy Wang Shouzhe is not coming this time despite his righteous defiance, do you want the old slave to meet him in person, and then escort him to see His Majesty?"

"Hmph! There's no need for that. What is my identity? Does he see me whenever he wants, or disappear when he doesn't want to? Let it go, sooner or later he will beg me."

Two masters and slaves, you say something to me, and gradually go away.

……

Almost at the same time period.

Meng Yuanbai immediately summoned several cronies of San Caisi after he came down from the court, and rushed to Dingguo's mansion immediately in the name of tax inspection.

As soon as he entered Dingguo's mansion.

Meng Yuanbai sent out his cronies, and then grabbed Wang Yuchang, the head of the Wang family who was in charge of entertaining him: "Patriarch Yuchang, is Wang Shouzhe still in the Wang family? Please take me to see him immediately."

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Meng." Wang Yuchang pulled him away calmly, "At this hour, Shouzhe is probably still taking a nap. Don't worry, let's drink some tea and chat first."

Nap?

Meng Yuanbai's expression froze, he couldn't believe it, Wang Shouzhe's fellow turned Dinggan Hall upside down, and involved the whole world in it.

He is still in the mood to take a nap?

"Patriarch Yuchang." Meng Yuanbai resisted the urge to scold his mother, took a deep breath and saluted, "Human life is at stake, please."

Wang Yuchang showed a look of embarrassment: "Shouzhe doesn't like to be disturbed when he is taking a nap."

After a pause, he nodded solemnly again and said, "But since it was Master Meng's invitation, then Wang will go all out. Sir, please come with me."

"Thank you, Patriarch Yuchang." Meng Yuanbai saluted again gratefully, but muttered in his heart, seeing Wang Shouzhe, he felt as if he owed a big favor.

Wang Yuchang led Meng Yuanbai to the Garden of Four Seasons.

And "forcibly interrupted" Wang Shouzhe's afternoon nap.

Not long after, Wang Shouzhe received Meng Yuanbai in his study. He made tea himself with a smile and said, "Your Majesty Meng is here, and Shouzhe has lost his way. Please forgive me."

Unexpectedly.

Meng Yuanbai got up first, and bowed deeply with a solemn face: "Patriarch Shouzhe, Yuanbai has committed offenses before, please ask Patriarch Haihan for a while."

"How dare, how dare." Wang Shouzhe returned the courtesy, "Master Meng is dedicated to serving the public. How can Shouzhe feel resentment? Besides, it is your lord who has proved Wang's innocence. Mr. Meng, these wild teas are from Shouzhe. The great-grandson's unintentional harvest, although crude, has a special flavor."

The best tea in his hand is of course the leaves of life shaken off by Wang Lixian.It's just too precious, and he is not willing to share it with anyone who is not really close to him.

"Great-grandson, but An Ye's child? I heard that he lives in His Majesty's Wangxian Pavilion and is very much loved by His Majesty." Meng Yuanbai took a sip and praised repeatedly, "Good tea, good tea , Patriarch Shouzhe is really a person of great fortune, and the children are outstanding one by one."

"Guilong Meng's generation is also full of talents." Wang Shouzhe smiled and praised each other, "Three grades can be expected."

After the two touted each other's business, they gradually became acquainted.

Only then did Meng Yuanbai reveal his true colors, and said bitterly: "Patriarch Shouzhe, I have learned how powerful you are from your two counterattacks. It's just that you have made my old Meng suffer. Now , Mrs. Zhao already hates me to the bone. Prince Dexin's lineage also regards me as a thorn in their side."

"Even in the future, all the big and small families in the whole country will secretly scold me, Meng Yuanbai. Patriarch Shouzhe, where does this call me, Meng Yuanbai?"

"Congratulations, Mr. Meng, your name will go down in history." Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said.

go down in history!

Ghosts want to be famous in history, the corners of Meng Yuanbai's mouth twitched: "Patriarch Shouzhe, stop joking, please show me the way."

"Ming Lu? Does Mr. Meng still have the intention to join King Kang?" Wang Shouzhe asked curiously.

"How is it possible? King Kang hates me to the bone now. And he is a narrow-minded, cold-hearted person. I dare not rely on him." Meng Yuanbai shook his head straight, his eyes filled with hope, "So, for the rest of my life, I will return to you." Please take care of Patriarch Shouzhe."

"Your Majesty Meng is polite, just support each other, just support each other." Wang Shouzhe returned the gift with a smile, "After this matter is over, I will introduce Prince An for you."

"Okay, okay, okay~, now that Shouzhe and I are on the same boat." Meng Yuanbai, who had just taken refuge here, knew very well that he should submit a "certificate of nomination", so he rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly, "This Once, Shouzhe, you can do whatever you say. From the fact that Meng, Shouzhe’s Patriarch, used tricks a few times, I’m afraid this trick is not as simple as checking taxes.”

"Brother Yuanbai is worthy of being the director of the Sancai Department." Wang Shouzhe said with a calm smile, "It is fine to check the taxes normally, but Brother Yuanbai should pay more attention to the traces of large sums of money in and out of unknown sources..."

Unknown source of income?

Meng Yuanbai's body shook, and he looked at Wang Shouzhe in disbelief: "Could Patriarch Shouzhe mean..."

But in a flash, he cheered up again: "Brother Shouzhe is indeed a good method, and Yuan Bai admires it. Don't worry, as long as he does it boldly, there will be traces. Yuan Bai's subordinates have a lot of sense of smell." A sharp genius."

He didn't expect that just as soon as he boarded the boat, he would usher in a great achievement.
