Chapter 114: All the ministers have come to send money!

"Well, not bad, not bad! Today's harvest is good, let's continue tomorrow!"

Li Chengfeng laughed happily.

Because today's tax collection is about 100,000 yuan, he can also get about 40% of the income from it.

That's 40,000 gold.

After working for one day, you will be rewarded with 40,000 gold. This is considered to be the highest paying profession in the world, right?

Even many ministers in the palace do not have 40,000 gold in their lifetime income.

Many ministers use their official power to open some teahouses and taverns in the private sector to earn extra money.

Otherwise, their wages would not be enough to support their entire family.

What's more, there are still some servants that the servants have to take care of!

"Well...now I have earned a lot of naughty points and a lot of money! So what should I do next to make it meaningful?"

"Going to do business?"

"Forget it, in this year of severe drought among the people, there is no business left. As long as we don't lose money, we'll be fine!"

"I'd better take back all the taxes owed by those ministers first! When the year of natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty passes, I will go to Chang'an City to do business!"

Li Chengfeng muttered quietly, making plans for his future.

After all, Li Chengfeng, who was a scientific research genius in his previous life, also had a super business acumen.

Who doesn’t like money?

Moreover, if you have spare money, you can’t just let it go.

It's easy to wear and tear if left alone, and it's easy to be stolen.

But if it is used to invest in starting a business, then money begets money. Isn’t that wonderful?



When night came, Li Chengfeng fell asleep with a beautiful mood.

Early the next morning, when Li Chengfeng just woke up, he heard Eunuch Wu shouting outside the door, "This is incredible, Eighth Prince, this is incredible!"

"What's going on? This is the Prince's Mansion here? Is there something big going on? Can't you just be quiet and calm?"

Li Chengfeng rolled his eyes at Eunuch Wu.

This Eunuch Wu would make a fuss over every little thing.

If it weren't for Eunuch Wu's meticulous care of him, Li Chengfeng would have just kicked him.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you making such a fuss?"

Eunuch Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Eighth Prince, it's like this. There are many court ministers standing outside the gate of Prince Zhen's Mansion. I wonder what they want to do?"

"So many ministers? Standing outside the gate of my town's palace? What are they going to do? What do they dare to do? Humph, let me go and see for myself!"

Li Chengfeng felt strange. This morning, Wei Zheng hadn't come yet, so why did so many ministers come?

What are they doing at the gate of their own town?

When Li Chengfeng opened the door, he saw, as expected, just as Eunuch Wu had said before, dozens of court ministers were lining up in front of Li Chengfeng's house.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Li Chengfeng roundly.

Li Chengfeng had goosebumps all over his body and said, "Hey, why are you gathering around the gate of my town's palace? Do you want to rebel?"

"No, no, no, Eighth Prince, you have misunderstood. They are actually here to pay taxes!"

Old man Wei Zheng came to Li Chengfeng's side with a smile and said in Li Chengfeng's ear: "Eighth Prince, after we collected taxes like this yesterday, all the ministers in the court were afraid! So they made preparations early this morning

I have discovered the tax evasion in the past and come to the Prince’s Mansion to pay the taxes!”

"But I know that the Eighth Prince has the habit of sleeping well, otherwise he will be angry! So I will stand guard at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and ask them to wait for you to wake up! Haha!"

This flattering Wei Zheng is really well shot.

Li Chengfeng didn't expect that Wei Zheng would actually think about himself in this way?

Don't you even dare to disturb your own clear dreams?

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng Guo!"

This thank you is appropriate!

However, Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Unfortunately, misfortune or misfortune, I only ask that in the future, the Eighth Prince, you can say a few more good things about me in front of the emperor! I have nothing else to ask for, my veteran!"

"Okay, Wei Zheng, don't worry, as long as you don't mess with me in the future, I, the prince, will definitely say good things to you in front of my father!"

"Yes, yes, how dare I mess with the Eighth Prince! Then from now on, please ask the Eighth Prince to take care of me! After all, I am getting old, and my body and bones are getting worse day by day!"

Wei Zheng knew that as he got older, he no longer had the hard work he had when he was young.

Today's Tang Dynasty is the generation rising behind the royal family.

If Wei Zheng wanted to get along like a fish in the palace, he still had to find a royal backer.

As for the prince Li Chengqian, he couldn't get along with him. As for the princes Li Tai, Li Zhi and others, they just studied every day. In the end, after thinking about it over and over, Wei Zheng still felt that the eighth prince Li Chengfeng was more reliable.

Although the Eighth Prince often bullied him in the past, Wei Zheng could see that the Eighth Prince was a sensible person. As long as he was good to him, he would also be good to him.

As long as he gains the trust of the Eighth Prince and becomes his friend, then when he grows old, the Eighth Prince will not let others bully him!

Looking at the ministers outside the door, they all held a large box in their hands.

Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Are these the taxes you missed paying before?"

"Reporting to the Eighth Prince, yes!"

"The taxes that the veterans have missed have been recorded by Zheng Guogong. Please observe the Eighth Prince carefully! If the veterans fail to pay even one cent of the tax, I am willing to accept the penalty!"

"Well, okay, then I will believe you for once today!"

Li Chengfeng took Wei Zheng's little book and looked at it. On it, he saw the names of dozens of ministers and their tax payment situation.

The few are a few hundred gold, the most are 20,000 gold.

Incredible.

Li Chengfeng calculated carefully and found that the total taxes amounted to at least about 300,000 yuan!

So much gold?

If all were distributed to the victims, this year of natural disasters would be able to pass safely.

And the reason why they have so much money is because they have accumulated taxes over many years.

Otherwise, the tax paid by these ministers to Datang for a year would only add up to about 100,000 gold.

And these 300,000 gold are the money they have owed for ten years. More or less, not every minister evades taxes, so in total, there is so much money!

As soon as Li Chengfeng took action, these ministers knew that their tax evasion would not go away.

The Eighth Prince took the initiative to come to ask them for punishment, but it was better for them to go and bear the burden of sin themselves.

In this way, we can still get the title of being fair and aboveboard!

"Eighth Prince, we have made up for all the tax evasion. Please make it clear to the emperor after you go back. I hope he will not be angry!"
