Chapter 247

In Chongwen Museum,

At the moment, it was class break time. A group of princes curiously formed a circle and inexplicably watched Merton put dominoes on the ground one after another.

"It's finally set!"

Morton Morton wiped a sweat, solemnly placed the last red dominoes, looked at the colorful dominoes on the ground with satisfaction, and he tried many times. This time, he was the most successful, with the largest number of dominoes.

"Merton, what fun is there? It's better for us to play Cuju together!" Li Zhi said. At his young boy's age, in his opinion, there is no more fun game of Cuju.

"That's right. What's so funny about the erected signs?" Li you, king of Qi, said contemptuously.

Only the old prince looked interested. You know, Merton often outflow some unheard of new things from Merton. These new things often have incredible surprises.

A few days ago, the new Mohist wine sold 300000 yuan a day, which shocked Chang'an city. Even the princes were surprised.

Merton smiled and said, "this is an experiment of Mohism. Just push down" it's the father! "The princes answered in unison,

Many princes looked at Merton bitterly. If it weren't for this guy, why did he add another homework.

Now Li Shimin is more and more fond of calling Merton into the palace to get along with the princes. This boy is simply a perfect child of others.

Moreover, Merton always has some strange knowledge, especially in mathematics, which no one can surpass.

Li Shimin waved and drove the other princes back to the school in Chongwen Museum. Merton also wanted to slip away, but he was stared by Li Shimin's eyes and immediately stiffened and stopped there,

"I heard you've made a lot of money recently." Li Shimin said gnashing his teeth. It was incredible for Merton to earn 100000 Guan in half a month. I didn't expect that it wasn't long before this boy made another move against the sky, earning 300000 Guan a day.

Wei Zheng looked at Merton in surprise. What surprised Wei Zheng most was that Merton earned 300000 yuan, but paid very little.

"Back to your majesty, it's all an advance deposit and will be delivered later. It's all a big expense. In the end, what you earn is just some hard money." Merton said with a sad face.

"If you work hard for money, I'll live in vain all my life. I've worked hard all my life, and I'm a great minister. My salary is not as much as you for a day." Wei Zheng added.

"That's your old man with clean hands and integrity." Merton quickly flattered.

"Hehe, that's very nice. Do you know how many people in the court came to visit you and said that your move would consume too much food. Of course, it would shake the national capital and cause the food crisis in Guanzhong." Li Shimin sneered.

Wine making is a food consuming industry, and the food consumed to solve thousands of worries is several times that of ordinary wine. A large number of wine sales in Mojia village naturally need a large amount of food.

Merton was really going to cry this time. He quickly explained, "Your Majesty, the price to solve thousands of worries is high, and its real output is not much!"

"High price? Didn't you just say you earned hard money?" Li Shimin looked at Merton with a smile.

Merton was tongue tied. It turned out that Li Shimin was waiting for him here. He had to say dejectedly, "boy, I know my mistake and am willing to be punished."

"Then you say how to punish you!" Li Shimin continued to "chase and kill".

Merton clenched his teeth and said in a cruel voice, "the stuffy horse and reconciliation of thousands of worries in Mojia village really cost a lot of food. Mojia village is willing to pay heavy taxes on two kinds of wine to block everyone's mouth."

"Heavy tax?" Li Shimin and Wei Zheng moved in their hearts, but looked at Merton quietly on their faces.

"Mohist village is willing to pay four taxes and one," Morton said proudly.

Li Shimin was surprised that the commercial tax of Datang was only 30 taxes, and Merton suddenly raised it to four taxes.

By paying alcohol tax at this rate, the Ministry of the people's Republic of China can earn 75000 yuan at once. In the future, Merton will have to pay one for every four horses he buys from the prairie. This is probably the heaviest business tax in history.

"Do you really want to?" Li Shimin said seriously. This is not a small number.

"Your Majesty, if I don't want to do anything else, I'm sure this wine is too food consuming, and since this wine has come into the world, I believe the method of liquor purification will spread out. By then, all wineries in Datang will be able to brew such high-level wine, which will certainly lead to a food crisis. Since it's the trouble caused by me, I'll naturally solve it from me." Merton said.

Tax is the most important adjustment lever, and levying heavy tax is indeed the most effective method.

"Your Majesty, what Mo boy said is very true. Instead of causing great trouble in the future, it is better to control it from the source today." Wei Zheng also said.

Li Shimin couldn't help feeling that although Merton often caused trouble, he had a better first thing, that is, he made trouble and handled it himself. The previous food price protection order incident and this high alcohol incident are all like this. It's love and hate.

However, Merton did not suffer. The high price of these two kinds of wine, even paying four taxes and one, is enough to make the bowl of money in Mojia village overflow.
