Xing'an Bo Mansion.

Xu Mengqin had already come back from court, and Xu Jirong had just gotten up.

I saw the idiot rub his eyes and come to the hall, and said vaguely: "Grandpa is back."

Xu Mengchong didn't care about these things. After all, he longed for Xu Jirong's nightlife to be richer. Going out to have fun during the day would be a pure waste of time and energy, meaningless. He smiled and nodded and said, "Rong'er, you came back from Lu Wang Mansion, and you didn't tell grandpa about the interesting things!"

Xu Jirong rubbed his nose and said, "The grandson also wants to tell grandpa something interesting, alas...but there is nothing interesting to say."

"Yeah?"

Xu Mengchong asked, "Isn't this Lu Wang Mansion fun?"

Xu Jirong curled his lips and said, "It's not fun at all, there is nothing there, so my brother told me to go there more places in the future, not to hide it from grandpa, and grandson is now worried about it!"

I have to say that this guy is really awesome when he tells a lie, but he must hide it from Xu Mengshen, because he knows that Xu Mengshen cannot allow him to be a pirate.

Xu Mengmeng glanced at Xu Jirong suspiciously and said, "Then Guo Dan has always had many ideas. He designed this Lu Wang Mansion himself, so why is there no fun at all?"

Xu Jirong immediately said: "The grandson was the same as grandfather thought, but he didn't expect that Dandan was the first time he went back. He didn't know anything. The grandson was depressed."

Xu Mengchong nodded and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Xu Jirong nodded straight.

Xu Mengchong smiled and said, "Then you go for breakfast first, don't be hungry."

After Xu Jirong went out, Xu Mengchong smiled and said, "It's so close to Zhu Zhe Chi! This kid follows Guo Dan, and his lying skills are getting better and better."

Xu Mao, who was standing beside him, asked, "Master, how can you see it?"

Xu Mengchong said, "He is a fun person by nature, especially when he is greedy for freshness. This is his first time going to Lu Wang Mansion. Lu Wang Mansion is right by the beach. How could he feel bored? He must be lying."

Xu Mao asked, "But why does the young master lie?"

“That’s the key.”

Xu Mengchong frowned slightly and said, "There have been many people trying to win over me recently, but I have never agreed because I think that Your Majesty and Guo Dan have hidden secrets in the Luwang Mansion. Now it seems that I think it is right."

Now that interest group is very active and is forming cliques. The Xu family is rich and controls Taipu Temple. Therefore, many people come to win over Xu Mengshen, but Xu Mengshen declined and kept a distance from all sects.

Because he felt that this may not be that simple, and he would easily choose a side station and would have endless troubles.

This is why he finally promised Xu Jirong that he could run around with Guo Dan.

......

This big drama has not been finished yet, so I have to continue to act.

On the second day, Wanli instructed Zhang Cheng to ask the Sili Supervisor to put pressure on the Ministry of Revenue and allocate funds to Chaoguan to manage the river as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Revenue soon spread the news.

The Ministry of Revenue alone cannot resist the oppression of the Silijian.

This immediately caused an uproar in the court.

This is really done.

The ministers all knew with their eyes closed that this was what Wanli did.

Because Wanli often did this before, I would not admit what I said today tomorrow.

If you want to be untrustful, it is nothing. We are all used to it anyway, but the problem is that you actually put pressure on the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds. In other words, you, Wanli, do not want to admit your account, and also want to maintain the cabinet.

You must take all the benefits of your relationship.

How is that possible?

The ministers in the court firmly refuted the grants of the Ministry of Revenue and put pressure on Wanli. The promised Jun is not joking. You said you would take the responsibility in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Why did you refuse to admit your account in the blink of an eye? How could this be done?

And this matter soon spread from the court to the people, and Shilin of course firmly opposed Wanli's words without trust.

The opposition is louder than the other.

Everyone began to criticize Wanli from all angles.

Under pressure from public opinion, Wanli had to agree.

The Ministry of Revenue began various calculations and how to exchange them.

But Wanli is not stupid either. He had no choice before, but now... he...he directly hired Xinxing to argue with the Ministry of Revenue.

In the end, the Ministry of Revenue did not take any advantage, but it would be impossible to say that the Ministry of Revenue would suffer losses in the face of Xinxing.

Finally, I decided to cut some of the yellow wax, paper, etc. to offset the tariffs. After all, there were not many tariffs paid to the Ministry of Revenue before, and these goods can be produced in large quantities by Weihui Mansion and can be purchased directly for supplying the palace.

Of course, the emperor, empress dowager, imperial concubine, and some eunuchs cannot be used, because they are all tributes and are very precious and cannot be bought even if they have money. The main reductions are for palace maids and eunuchs, and these can be purchased directly from Weihui Mansion.

Finally, Wanli announced this exchange contract in the name of the imperial edict, which has a legal effect.

The ministers all praised Wanli for their merits.

In fact, they are celebrating.

This is their victory over the emperor again, and this feeling is so wonderful.

At the same time, Wanli immediately held a cabinet meeting in Dong Pavilion.

The meeting had just begun, and Wanli was furious.

"I finally understand today why Guo Dan repeatedly mentioned that human-related affairs would lead to insufficient tariffs, so that's it."

Wanli threw a memorial directly at Shen Shixing's feet and said, "This is a memorial written by Tang Wen to me. It is clearly written. Many merchants colluded with the powerful and powerful in the court and placed their goods on the powerful and powerful ships to avoid tariffs."

Shen Shixing frowned secretly. Tang Wenxian made a memorial over the top. He bent over and picked up the memorial. When he opened it, he felt confused. This memorial was given before the New Year. From the format of the memorial, it should be given to the court, not directly to the emperor. It can be seen that this memorial should be obtained by Wanli through special channels.

He handed it to Wang Xijue without saying a word, thinking about what Wanli meant.

Wang Xijue also saw the tricks at a glance. After pondering for a moment, he immediately understood. He first handed the memorial to Wang Jiaping, and then reported to Wanli: "Report to Your Majesty, this kind of thing has indeed happened, and I know it."

Wanli frowned and said, "Then why don't you say it?"

Wang Xijue stuttered: "This is because... because...!"

Wanli has a wise emperor's demeanor: "Your dear one has something to say but it's okay to say it. I will forgive you for not being guilty."

It seems like urging you, why don't you say it quickly.

Wang Xijue was even more convinced of his thoughts, and then said, "This is because many powerful people are tax-free, and even involve His Majesty's ship. The Tang Dynasty documents were impeached because they found His Majesty's tribute.

Although His Majesty has now pardoned Tang Wenxian and rewarded him, many officials in the banknote are still afraid of causing trouble, so they are not very brave to investigate many ships."

Wanli frowned and said, "Is that true?"

Wang Jiaping didn't expect the reason, but he felt that Wang Xijue was right and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Wang's statements are all facts. As long as someone is tax-free, there will naturally be people who use it to evade taxes. If this happens in my Ming Dynasty."

This is a very important reason why the Ming Dynasty could not collect taxes.

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is impossible to completely eliminate this matter..."

"Why is it impossible?" Wanli asked.

Shin Shixing said embarrassedly: "You can't tax your cargo ship, your Majesty."

Wanli asked back: "What does Chief Shen mean? Is this matter possible if I am willing to pay tariffs?"

Shen Shixing blinked and said, "Report to Your Majesty, if you pay taxes even Your Majesty, then... I believe that no one dares to evade taxes."

Wanli immediately said: "Then do it! Issued an order today that the cash must be taxed on ships that have some, including mine. If the Tang Wenxian says something happens in the future, I will punish you severely."

Wang Jiaping and Yu Youding were confused. What was going on?

Does the emperor want to collect taxes on his own?

This...it's really incredible.

Suddenly, they thought that all the income from tariffs now belongs to the emperor. The emperor is levied on himself, and that is not to put the money in his left hand on his right hand.

Can shamelessness evolve?

After Wanli left, they did not come back to their senses for a long time.

this...?

What will be solved?

You should know that they have always been eager to eliminate the privileges of some powerful people, but have never succeeded and have not made any progress.

I never thought it would be solved like this.

But they were also mixed in their hearts.

They wanted to eliminate privileges, and their purpose was to fill the treasury, but now the treasury has not made any profit, and all of them have been earned by Wanli.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue had known that Wanli was going to seize tariffs, but they never expected that there was a butcher knife waiting for them.

But they thought about it carefully. No matter who ended up falling into his pocket, at least the emperor had already started paying taxes, which was definitely a good start.

They quickly moved and conveyed the imperial edict to the Chaoguan on the same day according to Wanli's intention, and all ships, no matter their size, and no matter who they belong, must be issued tax invoices.

The celebrations in the court immediately ended.

Are you surprised or not?

Is it unexpected?

......

Yinuo Money House.

"I really didn't expect that there is a lot of knowledge in this tariff!" Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan with a smile.

Guo Dan said: "I don't think the layman should be surprised. After all, my task is to help His Majesty make money. Isn't it reasonable to do this?"

Aunt Xu gracefully put down the teacup in her hand and said, "But have you ever considered that there is a very critical reason why our corruption in the court is very serious."

Since she asked me, it shouldn't be a deep-seated reason. Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Does lay Buddhists mean that the salary of officials is too low?"
