Chapter 109: Li Chengfeng, the Tax Genius!
"Forty percent, this is my last concession, Father! First, you don't give me anything, just let me collect people's tax evasion! I want to check information, find connections, and I have to go door-to-door to ask for money and investigate.
!These require me to spend a long time and energy!"
"Moreover, if I offend someone when collecting taxes, they will be afraid of me, so I will risk my life!"
"Humph, as long as I'm here, who among them would dare?"
Li Shimin shouted angrily.
If he didn't have any records of their tax evasion, Li Shimin would have asked them for money.
But just because there was no record of water leakage from them, Li Shimin was afraid that he would lose face and not get the money yet. In this case, he might as well let Li Chengfeng do it.
Anyway, Li Chengfeng is smart and exciting, so it would be more reliable to ask him to do things.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, 40% means 40%! But I have some questions to ask you!"
"Okay, father, may I ask?"
"Feng'er, what do you want so much money for? I remember that I have rewarded you with 20,000 gold before, right? This money can already buy two large shops on Chang'an Avenue!"
"Haha, that's right! But if I want to be a wealthy businessman in the future, I will always need some funds to start a business, right?"
"Well... Feng'er, you have a good idea!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, starting from tomorrow, I will send Wei Zheng to follow you to collect taxes for me!"
"Father, do you know which family has the most tax evasion?"
"This... must be the Changsun family! Because the Changsun family controls three iron mines and a ranch in Datang, I think their family evades the most taxes every year!"
"Okay, Father, 40% belongs to me and 60% belongs to you! I will go collect taxes tomorrow!"
"Haha, good! I wish you immediate success and get back all the taxes that those ministers missed from my father! Huh, it seems that I will also crack down on these things in the future!"
"Well, okay, Father, then you have a good rest. I'm going back to the Prince's Mansion. I'll go take care of this matter tomorrow!"
"Okay Feng'er, be careful on the way back!"
"okay!"
After saying that, Li Chengfeng said goodbye to Li Shimin and headed back to the Prince's Palace.
…
Before Li Chengfeng walked out of the palace, he saw a group of ministers surrounding the Dragon Wall, shouting: "Don't jump down!"
Don't jump down?
Is someone about to jump off the building?
Li Chengfeng went over to watch the fun.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Once you take a look, it turns out that it's that guy Changsun Chong climbing on the Longteng wall?
Good guy, this guy is so good at lightness kung fu, he actually climbed up the Soaring Dragon Wall?
"Woof woof!"
Vaguely, Li Chengfeng also heard the big black dog barking in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion.
So Li Chengfeng understood it in an instant.
It must be that Changsun Chong didn't listen to his words and went to the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion to steal the watermelon, right?
Then he was discovered by Erbai, so he chased him, bit him, and drove him to the Soaring Dragon Wall?
"Don't jump, Mr. Changsun. If you have anything you can't think of, please tell me. I will relieve your fatigue!"
"Oh, in the past, the Eighth Prince jumped down from the Dragon Wall and then flew away! Does the eldest grandson have to jump down as well?"
"No way? The Eighth Prince is a god in the sky, but the eldest grandson, how could he fly for no reason?"
Li Chengfeng entered the crowd, looked up at Changsun Chong on the Longteng Wall, and smiled: "Hey, Changsun Chong, why did you climb up to the Longteng Wall? Can you fly?"
"Eight, Eighth Prince, you are finally back! Your big black dog has been chasing me and biting me, and I can't get off now!"
"Hmph, who told you to go to my backyard? I told you before, don't go! You didn't listen, and now you are being chased and bitten by Erbai, so you can't blame me!"
Li Chengfeng smiled lightly.
On the side, Li Lizhi suddenly came to Li Chengfeng's side and said, "Brother Feng'er, what's going on? Why did Changsun Chong climb onto the Longteng Wall?"
"I don't know. Who knows what he wants to do?"
Li Chengfeng laughed secretly.
In the end, it was Changsun Wuji who came to pick up Changsun Chong with a large group of soldiers and horses, and was the one who rescued Changsun Chong from Longteng Wall.
Changsun Wuji ordered a large number of soldiers to form a human ladder and asked Changsun Chong to climb down from it.
Finally, Changsun Chong finally climbed down from the Longteng Wall, but he also received a burst of scolding from Changsun Wuji.
"Shame, really shame! Chong'er, go back and recite the Four Books and Five Classics for me. If you don't finish memorizing it, you won't be allowed to go out in the future!"
"Yes, father!"
Changsun Chong had a sad face, but in the end he was dragged home by Changsun Wuji.
It's really embarrassing for something like this to happen to a famous noble family.
Amidst the laughter of all the ministers, Changsun Wuji felt that he had lost all face.
Humph, the Eighth Prince jumped off the Soaring Dragon Wall and flew away? Showing his majesty.
You little bastard, you can climb up but can't get down?
What a shame!
"Hahaha, this Changsun Chong really made me laugh to death!"
Li Chengfeng was so laughed at Chang Sun Chong's actions that his stomach hurt.
When he first met Sun Chong, Li Chengfeng thought this kid was quite smart, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a fool too!
…
The next morning, before Li Chengfeng woke up, he heard Eunuch Wu's urgent shouting from outside the door.
"Eighth Prince, Eighth Prince, Duke Zheng is here to see you!"
"Stop arguing, let me sleep for a while. If you argue again, I will change you to a slave, and I won't need you to dress me up!"
When Li Chengfeng roared like this, Eunuch Wu was instantly startled, and then he looked at Wei Zheng helplessly.
Wei Zheng also sighed and said: "Then let's wait for a while. When the Eighth Prince wakes up, I will be discussing tax collection with the Eighth Prince!"
Last night, Wei Zheng received an order from Emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin sent him to assist the eighth prince and go to the court ministers to collect taxes.
Recover all the tax evasion they have made this year.
So Wei Zheng came to the Prince's Mansion early in the morning to look for Li Chengfeng.
However, Li Chengfeng woke up very angry, so Wei Zheng did not dare to disturb Li Chengfeng's dream.
It wasn't until the sun was rising and the sun was shining brightly that Li Chengfeng slowly woke up from the bed, yawned and walked out of the bedroom.
"Hey, Duke Zheng came to see me so early?"
Li Chengfeng smiled and greeted Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng nodded and smiled, and said: "Yes, Eighth Prince, I have been ordered by the Emperor to assist you and go to find those ministers collecting taxes together!"
"Well, good! Then it's better to choose something far away than something close, so let's start with you first!"
"Ah? Eighth Prince, you, you want to start with the minister first?"
