The ancestors of the prehistoric people, join the chat group at the beginning

"Oh? Which question?"

Ying Zheng still had a good impression of Liu Che.

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, from the time when he proclaimed himself emperor to the end when Pu Yi abdicated, there have been more than [-] emperors.

And there are only three or two who can get into the eyes of Ying Zheng.

Coincidentally, Liu Che was one of them.

"The eighth question, I'm a little confused, why didn't I get any points for this question?"

Pointing at the test paper in the sky, Liu Che questioned.

That bright fork directly deducted 5 points.

[Question [-]: What if one item is removed? 】

【选项：1、文武百官的特权；2、皇亲国戚的特权；3、阶级尊卑特权；4、天下百姓的税赋；5、商人的商税；】

For this question, Liu Che chose the last answer, which is '5. Business tax for merchants'.

Because, after he thought about it, this answer was the most suitable.

Although he really wanted to reduce the taxes of the people in the world, it was obviously impossible.

Without the people of the world paying taxes, what would the emperor eat, what would the princes and nobles eat, and what would civil and military officials eat?

Only the business tax of merchants is dispensable.

If it can make the world stronger, he will naturally be happy to reduce the business tax of merchants.

"Oh? This question!"

Seeing what Liu Che was pointing at, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Liu Che, I can tell you that only one person answered this question correctly in the entire assessment, and the rest were wiped out!"

"Abolishing the commercial tax will not only not make the country (dynasty) strong, but it will go to ruin!"

As soon as this remark came out, the emperors present were shocked on the spot.

"what?"

"Only one person answered correctly?"

"Going to perish? I don't believe it, it's all fake..."

Countless emperors spoke out one after another, expressing their confusion.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and a detailed histogram of the answer to this question appeared on the light screen.

People can immediately see that among the answers to this question, 99 emperors chose to remove the item of commercial tax.

As for the remaining '3, class privileges', there is only one person to choose.

There are no candidates for other options, and the polarization is extremely serious.

This result is shocking and reasonable.

"Who is the person who chose item 3?"

At this moment, not only the emperors present, but even the people watching the live broadcast outside the venue became curious.

"Why is the standard answer 3, and why?"

"Yeah, business tax is optional, it doesn't matter if it is removed, how can it go to extinction?"

"Abolishing the commercial tax is not to compete for the interests of the people, so why is it wrong?"

At this moment, like Liu Che, all the emperors were puzzled.

There was almost a big question mark on his head.

Especially the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Youxiao and others.

After all, according to the customary saying of scholar-bureaucrats, levying commercial levies is to compete with the people for profit.

Similarly, the entire merchant class was the most inconspicuous one in the entire feudal society.

"It seems that we can't hide it..."

"Damn Qin Shihuang..."

"Now our troubles are coming!"

Seeing this scene, the emperors didn't know why, but the merchants and officials in the world such as the Wanli Year, the Tianqi Year, and the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty were all open-minded.

At this moment, they only felt that their secrets would soon be exposed and presented to the world.

Therefore, each one of them looked like a mourning concubine, and their faces turned pale.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, collusion between officials and businessmen became common, and many officials themselves were the spokespersons introduced by wealthy businessmen.

This secret has become an unspeakable secret between officials and businessmen.

Whoever speaks out will die!

"Most people have answered this question wrong! Then, I will explain to you why your dynasty cannot become stronger!"

Seeing the reactions of the emperors and the expressions of the people watching the live broadcast outside the venue, Ying Zheng said flawlessly.

Throughout the ages, no emperor has realized the importance of commercial taxation.

It's a class limitation, no wonder them.

However, these little tricks want to hide from Ying Zheng's eyes and ears, it can only be said that they think too much.

Ying Zheng deliberately used this question to assess the emperors, just to remind them.

Now, taking advantage of Liu Che's doubts, Ying Zheng is naturally happy to explain, which can be regarded as revealing the true face of the merchant stage.

What Yingzheng said was not only to the emperors, but also to all civil and military officials and common people in the world where the emperor lived.

……

"Most people have answered this question wrong! Then, I will explain to you why your dynasty cannot become stronger!"

As soon as Ying Zheng said this, the faces of businessmen in all the world changed drastically.

The world of martial arts rumors.

"No, you can't say that. It's a small business. If you increase the business tax, you won't be able to survive..."

In Tongfu Inn, Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper's face suddenly fell down, complaining again and again.

"Oh, shopkeeper, don't you need to call me wrong?"

When Guo Furong heard this, she immediately looked over with contempt, and said, "You're just a pickpocket, okay? In addition to our monthly money, there is also [-] tax dollars. You should have earned a lot of money, right?"

"Yes, shopkeeper Tong, in just three years, you have deposited more than 1000 taels of silver with me!"

The treasurer of the bank said leisurely.

"Nonsense, is this all the hard-earned money! I still have to save the dowry for Xiao Bei!"

Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken when he heard his followers expose his shortcomings.

...

"Abolishing the commercial tax will make the world go to ruin?"

At this moment, Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng and other officials of the reformist faction trembled in their hearts.

For reformist officials like them, this topic is right in their arms.

They are eager to know how to carry out reforms to make the dynasty stronger.

Now, the city lord of the Emperor City of the Heavens is going to explain this question, which is an opportunity that is hard to find in the ages.

Therefore, all these officials sat upright, took out the four treasures of the study, and prepared to listen carefully and record them.

..

Not only the common people, but also the civil and military officials, and even the emperors present all had calm faces with anticipation in their eyes.

Who can be an emperor, who is a fool?

Hearing the words of the city lord Yingzheng, and then thinking back to the country under his rule, who would dare to neglect?

This is a major event related to the rise and fall of the world, even if the father is dead.

..

With the anticipation and unity of all...under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ying Zheng waved his hand.

In the eyes of the emperors, Liu Che's test paper disappeared instantly on the light curtain, and was replaced by an image.

Those who watched the live broadcast also found that the screen in the live broadcast room in front of them changed, and the video began to play.

[Daming Dynasty, in March of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Shuntian Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, has been surrounded by the rebel Li Zicheng and is about to be breached! 】

[Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued an order to call on the relatives of the emperor, ministers of civil and military affairs, concubines and eunuchs to donate money, and hoped that they would donate silver to the soldiers on the front line to defend against the rebels who were at hand. 】

[However, after the order of Chongzhen, all the officials cried poorly, saying that they had no money in their hands, and so on. 】

At the beginning of the video, there was a scene where the capital of the Ming Dynasty held a court meeting with Emperor Chongzhen and issued an order to donate the salary.

Accompanied by the slow unfolding of the images, there is also a narration commentary.

Therefore, everyone can understand that this is what happened in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, many emperors present were very surprised.

It is too strange for a dynasty to have no money to pay the army.

But the officials from all over the world are all frowning.

Such a dynasty may not be a sign of national subjugation.

The other common people who watched the live broadcast were happy to watch it.

After all, it was the first time in my life that the emperor held a court meeting in the palace.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Youjian behind him, showing a look of hatred for iron.

"Hey!"

Seeing that what happened two days ago was made public and seen by the ancestors, Chongzhen couldn't help covering his face with his sleeves, feeling ashamed to see others.

It's a shame to lose face this time.

The video continues to play.

[After the court meeting, Chongzhen's face was very ugly, because this time, only 3 taels of silver were raised in total. 】

【Returning to the harem, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh and sigh repeatedly. 】

[Empress Zhou was very upset when she learned about this, so she asked her father, Jiadingbo Zhou Kui, to enter the palace, took out her private money of 1 taels of silver, and handed it to Zhou Kui for him to donate, so as not to embarrass the emperor. 】

[Unexpectedly, this Jiadingbo is also a ruthless person. He took 1 taels of silver from his daughter, but privately greedy half of it, and only donated 5000 taels. 】

[The emperor's father-in-law is like this, can you count on others?In the end, Emperor Chongzhen pulled

[Among them, Taikang Bo and Zhang Guoji donated 2 taels the most among all the officials. Others donated a few thousand taels or simply a few hundred taels. Chief Assistant Wei Zaode donated 500 taels. 】

[This amount of money is only a drop in the bucket for the frontline soldiers who are short of pay and cannot solve the problem at all. 】

"It's really unreasonable. There is such a greedy head of state in the world?"

Seeing this scene, many emperors were angry.

What is this?If you say you don't have money, that's fine.

The queen's daughter took out all her private money, and the father secretly greedy half of it.

Is this something that people can do?

"Little Zhu, my condolences..."

The other emperors expressed sympathy for Zhu Youjian and comforted him one after another.

Meeting this kind of father-in-law is also a bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Old Ancestor, I have shamed you..."

Chongzhen covered his face and wept, ashamed to see people.

The people who watched the live broadcast also expressed their disdain for Zhou Kui.
