Chapter 1993

"Go to the Ministry of accounts to pay taxes. Our family will pay as much as others pay!"

Juan's feet were a burden. The housekeeper said reluctantly, "Sir, our family was exempted from taxes by your grace. This... My mother was proud in the palace. We can't lose face!"

Juan pointed to the burden and said, "my mother sent a message that the more time we wait, the more honest we should be."

He frowned and said, "my uncle has no ability. He can't help his mother and corn. He can only be honest and don't make trouble in the palace."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and went to the household department with his baggage. After explaining the situation clearly, the person received by the household department said with admiration: "this is the royal family and relatives! Good!"

The housekeeper didn't understand. When he came out, he found a place to drink to relieve his boredom.

There are many people in the tavern. The smell of inferior wine is mixed with the smell of sweat. It really smells bad.

The housekeeper asked for a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine. He drank it slowly.

The queen gave birth to the prince, and there are visions. If there is no accident, it must be the future prince.

Then Juan is my uncle!

But the uncle's courage is less than that of a mouse. You have to think about whether this will have any bad impact on the empress and his highness in the palace.

Hey!

After drinking half a pot of wine, the housekeeper was slightly drunk and listened to the big men bragging.

"... those scholars and those tenants are also flustered. It is said that these people secretly curse Xinghe Bo, saying that he gave birth to a son without fart Yan, which must be something to copy his family and destroy his family in the future..."

"That's right. Think that the original good day was ruined by him, hehe! But what's our business?"

"Yes, those scholars have too big mouths, and the skin of their mouths is lifted up and down. Those fields are even their own. There is no such beauty."

"Those scholars are not reconciled! I heard that xinghebo killed a lot of people in Jinan. That's why they stopped these people."

"I think it's good. Why don't they pay taxes?"

"That's the Wenqu star in the sky. Wenqu stars also have to pay taxes?"

"What Wenqu stars? How many scholars in the Ming Dynasty? They are all Wenqu stars? I see Wenqu stars all over the sky. I feel dizzy."

"Yes, Xinghe Bo's family has paid taxes. According to me, everyone should pay taxes in this world. Then everyone lives by their ability. Whoever is good or bad is ability, that is life."

“……”

The housekeeper shook his head and suddenly understood Juan's mind.

The empress is walking on thin ice in the palace, and a sun is eyeing. If the queen is not careful, she will be caught

The housekeeper really can't understand that taxes can be paid.

It's enough to hold back and pay taxes if you can't play with authority. What kind of uncle is this.

"Settle accounts."

He paid for the wine and staggered out.

"... listen to me!"

There was a silence. The housekeeper stood at the door and felt that his family was not as powerful as the idle man in the tavern. He suddenly felt indifferent.

"I have a brother who studied science. Do you know science? He is his Majesty's student."

fool!

The housekeeper thought the man was a fool.

Although Zhu Zhanji is known as a founder of science, he is just a name. All the people who are serious are fools.

He shook his head and walked out of the gate.

"Science says, either give preferential treatment to everyone, or don't give preferential treatment, or it will be Mars sooner or later..."

The housekeeper's footsteps stagnated and he was about to turn back. The big man continued proudly: "what is it... Human nature is greedy. Those scholars are proud enough to be officials. What is it sooner or later? Greed is like fire. They want to burn Daming!"

"I've heard that. Greed is like fire. If you don't stop it, it will start a prairie fire!"

A scholar and the housekeeper passed by by by mistake. He entered the tavern and said angrily, "you should be stabbed in the west market if these words spread out."

There was a moment of silence, and then an idle man coaxed and said, "this is a matter for your majesty and the court. They all say you are greedy. Can't we say it?"

The scholar said coldly, "a fool only knows to bark. He deserves to be stupid all his life!"

These words compared the people in the tavern to dogs, and suddenly the crowd was excited.

"Fart! I think you're stupid!"

A big man gave a wink to his companion, then got up and said with a grim smile: "your good days are gone, you know? You still want to win the lawsuit and collect the investment! Now your majesty and the court want to punish you moths. You dare to learn the bark of a dog and fight!"

After a burst of noise, the scholar came out with a bruised face, turned around, pointed to the inside and said, "you wait, wait!"

The housekeeper looked at the man blankly, and even saw several nose hairs emerging from his nostrils.

It is said that this is a broken money phase!

The clamor that losers don't lose is the most boring. The scholar was scared away by a glass smashed out of the pub.

The housekeeper was thinking.

Back home, he went to find Juan.

"Master, it's hard for outside scholars."

Juan nodded and said, "my mother can stand up now. She knows no less in the palace than we do, but... It depends. Let's be honest."

The housekeeper understood and said, "then our family pays taxes. That's what it means. Let's see that the mother's family follows her majesty..."

Juan said blankly, "I don't know. It's certain to follow your majesty. Everyone is waiting for your majesty and the court to make a decision. Once you decide to exempt the gentry from preferential treatment, there will be... Ups and downs!"

……

Monarchs and ministers have discussed this matter several times, and memorials from officials everywhere are piled up, all about this matter.

"Slowly..."

Zhu Zhanji appeared in the Qianqing palace in his military uniform today, and all the officials felt the heavy killing intention.

"Don't hesitate, otherwise it will only make people speculate."

Yang Rong's eyes twinkled and said, "Your Majesty, can you halve it?"

He is also involuntarily. Under the attack of all parties, he is under great pressure as the first auxiliary.

Even his relatives wrote to him, saying that he only knew to promise the emperor and was about to be like a courtier.

Halving is a suggestion that can buffer contradictions. The ministers immediately went out of class and agreed.

After hearing their suggestions, Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "you are all important ministers who assist me. I want to talk to you today..."

The ministers stood up straight and felt bad in their hearts.

Zhu Zhanji got up, held the knife handle in his left hand, looked up at the roof and said, "Xiao Guicao followed, that's the king of success; content with the status quo, that's the dying country; innovation, how to innovate?"

The courtiers bowed and knew that the delay of these days had finally brought the emperor's anger and showdown.

"Fearing hands and feet, like women, is not innovation. In the former Song Dynasty, it was not innovation. How could a group of people drag a person?"

This is a bit mean, comparing the ministers to women, who specialize in doing things that drag them back.

Zhu Zhanji stood at the top, his legs slightly separated, and said firmly, "if Daming wants to be difficult in the world, he needs to reflect from time to time. If he finds problems, he should move immediately. What I want is to be a minister of the country, not hesitate at both ends. What do I want you to do?"

"Spirit! I can't see spirit in you!"

"Move! Let those people see that the will of the court is firm, or I will personally go out of the palace to show the emperor's determination to all officials!"

"I will die..."

The emperor looked down on the courtiers as if he were in the clouds. He pulled out his long knife and the courtiers trembled.

"Governing the world with scholar bureaucrats is not the Ming Dynasty, but the former Song Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanji said angrily, "Daming wants eternal prosperity. It depends not only on the people, but also on the people! The people are the foundation of Daming!"

The ministers stood with their hands tied. Zhu Zhanji waved, turned and looked at the throne and murmured, "how many lessons can you see? What can you get from those people? The country is broken and the family is ruined..."

He closed his eyes and heard the footsteps of Ministers coming out of the hall.

He seemed to see the flames rising in the imperial city. In the wild laughter, countless knives and guns glittered in the sunset of the Empire.

He seemed to see the opening of the side wall, and countless foreign cavalry roared and rushed into the Central Plains with ecstasy.

He seemed to see the killings, the burning of villages and the dumping of countless human remains where they had lived for generations.

He opened his eyes, nodded and said, "in order not to have these, I will try, even if I lose!"
