Protect Our Patriarch - Chapter 483

[Chapter 77 Make the situation with one hand!]

…

“Ridiculous, this is really ridiculous.” Prince Dexin heard that old man Deshun even dragged him into the water, and immediately his heart throbbed, and he said, “Deshun, you are sullying the royal family. majesty and honor!”

“Dexin, what are you jumping for?” Prince Deshun squinted, glanced at his old rival, and sneered, “Since our ancestor Ziwei Xuandu started his career, we have always insisted that the royal family and the family govern the world together. Why is it that the royal family can’t investigate the tax when the aristocratic family can? Could it be that your Prince Dexin’s residence really has extremely serious tax evasion and tax evasion?”

In Daqian, all farmland or other properties must be taxed according to regulations.

The royal family has many palaces and palaces of princes, each of which is a behemoth, and there are a large number of high-quality farms and various industries under the name of each government.

This part of the industry belongs to the semi-independent industries of the various palaces, which are operated by themselves, and their output is also used by the palaces themselves.

For example, the Baiyun Tower under the name of the King of Hengjun belongs to this category.

In addition, the royal family also has various royal villages.

These imperial estates belong to the family and are shared by the entire royal family.

This part of the assets is very huge, and it is under the unified jurisdiction and operation of the royal clan’s house.

For example, His Majesty’s support, in addition to the national tax support, a considerable part is provided by the royal family’s clan’s house.

But whether it is a semi-independent property of the royal palace or a family property controlled by the royal clan’s palace, according to the Daqian system, it is still subject to taxation, and the proportion of taxation is exactly the same as that of other noble families, and there are no exceptions.

This is also at the beginning of the founding of the country, the founding emperor Ziwei Xuandu imitated the rules set by the immortal dynasty.

After all, if the royal family did not need to pay taxes, there would be countless small families who would attach their properties to the royal family. As long as they were willing to give 30% to half of the taxable amount in return, most of the royal families who lacked money were willing to accept the attachment.

Over time, isn’t the family’s property all attached to the royal family’s name?

Furthermore, if the royal family does not pay taxes, how can the properties of other noble families compete with the royal family’s industry?

There is simply no competition in terms of cost alone.

Over time, isn’t this world all the royal family’s industry?

If this is the case, let’s not say whether the family is willing to continue to play with your royal family.

If the whole world is the royal family’s property, and if there is no taxation, where will the taxation come from?

The family might as well sell all their belongings, and then go to the Immortal Dynasty to buy land and live.

This kind of national structure, I am afraid that it will be finished within a few years.

Therefore, royal property taxation is also an extremely important part of Dagan’s taxation.

That’s why Prince Deshun danced with great confidence.

Prince Dexin’s face suddenly turned gloomy, and his heart was a little flustered.

As a prince, how could he not know the virtues of the property of his Prince’s Mansion?

Relying on the fact that no one dared to investigate, their own properties have been falsifying a lot in taxation over the years.

Although he did not calculate the specific numbers in detail, he also knew that the loopholes were definitely huge.

Moreover, as the so-called “the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked”, the situation of Prince Dexin, his children and grandchildren, and the situation of the prince’s county and the king’s mansion is naturally not much better.

If a thorough investigation of taxation is done, there is no doubt how much of a turmoil there will be.

“Your Majesty.” Prince Dexin turned to look at Emperor Longchang, and said with grief and indignation, “Prince Deshun really did everything he could to support the king of Anjun. At this moment, my Dexin lineage is about to assist. While King Kang was drawing up a whole set of plans to conquer southern Xinjiang, he instigated tax inspections, clearly trying to disrupt our plan and being suspected of being a hindrance.”

The county kings of his line, as well as those aristocratic families who were unwilling to be subject to tax investigations, joined in one after another, accusing Prince Deshun of disregarding the country’s plans and stumbling upon the Duke of Kang at a critical moment.

Even if the tax is to be checked, it will not be too late to check when King Kang returns victoriously.

Prince Deshun sneered: “You have to draw up a plan to conquer the southern border,

It’s fine to make it by yourself. There is no contradiction or conflict between the tax inspection and this matter.

Master Meng Yuanbai and his team have sufficient taxation experience, and they can check it out on their own without bothering the Prince’s Mansion or the Prince’s Mansion.

”

“Your Majesty.” Patriarch Dingguo Yinda also said sternly, “Prince Dexin’s lineage is so evasive, looking for excuses and reasons to avoid tax inspections, it is really hard for this minister not to doubt whether they have a huge problem in taxation. Problem. Maybe, it’s really rotten to the core.”

“What’s more, what an important strategic plan is the expedition of the southern border? If the grand marshal’s conquest is full of loopholes in the taxes due, how can people believe that he is capable and qualified to preside over the overall situation of the expedition against the southern border? Maybe, Germany Xin Yimai proposed this plan, just to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of war money.”

“To sum up, the old minister proposes that the Prince Kang’s Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion of An County can conduct tax inspections at the same time. If the error in the tax payable of the Prince Kang’s Mansion is not more than 20%, no, 30%! As long as it is not more than 30%, I, Wang Yin, will be the first to do my best. King Tingkang became the grand marshal for the expedition against southern Xinjiang.”

At this time, Emperor Longchang sitting on the emperor’s chair was not as impetuous and casual at the beginning. Instead, he frowned slightly, his face was cold, his eyes were restrained, and almost no one could see his thoughts.

Despite the arguing below, he didn’t even speak up.

Until Wang Yinda finished the last sentence.

Only then did Emperor Longchang look at Prince Dexin and Prince Kang, with a calm expression: “Dexin, Chengsi, what do you say?”

Seeing this, Lao Yao on the side sighed deeply in his heart.

That guy Wang Shouzhe is really ruthless, and his grasp of people’s hearts is truly incredible.

His attack not only hit the weakness of Dexin’s lineage, but also hit your Majesty’s weakness.

A country, the foundation of national strength, one is population, and the other is taxation.

With abundant tax revenue, the country can expand faster, own more land, and feed more population. Only in this way can the country become stronger when it enters a virtuous circle.

Just as Wang Shouzhe “talked about the Great Emperor” when he was drinking with Long Wuji in private, he thought that His Majesty’s attack on the Southern Qin and the Western Jin would seem majestic with one enemy and two, but why has there been no real result until now?

On the contrary, he fought, and the treasury was impoverished!

In the final analysis, it is about population and money.

How can you feed more troops without enough money?

How to subsidize to train more masters?

It is said that the barbarian gu clan in the southern border is difficult to defeat, but if the army is stronger, they can organize an army and logistics comparable to the immortal dynasty, and sweep the savage gu clan in the southern border like searching for something.

Previously, His Majesty saw that Wang Shouzhe was extremely profitable, and asked him to increase the tax revenue of Longzuo County by 50% within ten years.

But in this, there is not necessarily the idea of exploring Wang Shouzhe’s bottom, wanting to see if he can really come up with a plan to make a fortune for Dagan.

In case Wang Shouzhe has any plan to make a fortune that he is reluctant to take out, this squeeze may be squeezed out directly.

Fix taxes!

How could His Majesty not know that, no matter the royal family or the aristocratic family, they will more or less make a fuss about taxation.

If everyone can pay their taxes in full, the national strength of the big cadres will inevitably rise.

But just as Meng Yuanbai said, this is a disease that is accumulated and difficult to return.

In the face of this stubborn disease, even though His Majesty was determined to rectify it, it was a dog that bit the hedgehog and could not speak.

But now, His Majesty’s lifespan is about to end, which is precisely the most powerful and most suitable time.

It just so happened that Wang Shouzhe “unintentionally” gave a solution that seemed feasible.

Seeing His Majesty’s appearance like this, it seems that he already has a case in mind.

In addition to his emotions, Lao Yao couldn’t help but look at Duke Kang and Prince Dexin with a little sympathy.

I really don’t know if they are too lucky, or they are used to saving others by themselves. What kind of strategy is not good, and they have to make a fuss about the tax audit to embarrass the Wang family?

As a result, Wang Shouzhe used this to fight back, but instead made them fall into the tax audit storm.

Following the calm question of Emperor Longchang.

Both Prince Dexin and King Kang trembled in their hearts, they knew His Majesty’s personality too well.

Asking questions with this tone and expression is definitely not asking for their opinions.

But can their taxes be checked?

As soon as I checked it, I was afraid that something big would happen.

Immediately, Prince Dexin bit his head and said, “Your Majesty, please think twice, now that the battle to the southern border is imminent, you must not…”

Before he could finish his words, Emperor Longchang sneered.

The emperor no longer paid attention to him, his eyes swept across the entire Dinggan Hall, his voice was not loud, but it was full of the emperor’s terrifying coercion: “You all keep saying that you can’t investigate, and you must focus on the overall situation.”

“I, just ask you a question.”

“Why did the Changning Wang family find out, the Dingguo Duke’s mansion found it, and the Anjun Wangfu found it, and they just checked you all out, and it’s just ruining the overall situation?”

The invisible anger of Emperor Lingxu pressed everyone down like a substance, and cold sweat kept falling on his forehead.

This is not only the power of the emperor, but also the crushing of the level of life and strength.

“Meng Yuanbai.” Emperor Longchang said indifferently.

“The minister is here.” Meng Yuanbai bowed in response.

His face was pale and his body was soaked with sweat.

He understands that he is completely involved in a major event, and if he is not careful, he may step into the abyss.

“I know that you are ‘excellent in business’ and have always been ‘unselfish’.” Emperor Longchang softened his tone a little, “I gave you [Canglong Sword and Sword Order] to preside over this tax investigation, if there is anyone who does not comply or obstructs , kill without mercy!”

Canglong Sword Sword Order?

This is a sword order that can temporarily mobilize the national Taoist weapon [Blue Dragon Sword]. Under this sword order, whoever dares to act rashly will be guilty of conspiracy.

All the civil and military ministers were shocked when they heard the words.

Your Majesty is determined to check taxes!

Prince Dexin’s lineage was even more horrified and sweaty and panicked.

How should this be done?

“My minister, never give up.” Even though Meng Yuanbai had 10,000 reluctance in his heart, he did not dare to resist the decree.

Fortunately, with the Canglong Sword Order, at least no one would dare to interfere with the work.

Big trouble!

There are hundreds of civil and military ministers present, all of whom have family properties, and there will be more or less loopholes in taxation.

Once you find them…

But the power of the emperor, who dares to disobey?

“Your Majesty, although Mr. Meng is skilled in tax investigation, his manpower is limited after all. It is absolutely impossible to conduct a thorough investigation of aristocratic families across the country.” Today’s Prince Deshun is returning to the Great Court for the first time in hundreds of years, but he is particularly active. With a clear mind, “In my opinion, it is better to concentrate on investigating the two princes’ mansions of me and Dexin, the two princely mansions of Chengsi and Mingyuan, and the two mansions of An Guogong and Dingguo, as representatives of tax inspections. .”

“As a prince, a county king, and a prince, we should set an example for the world.”

“As for other royal families and noble families, you can first check and correct them internally. If you find any omissions, you can go to the local government, county, or Sancai Division to make up the tax.”

As soon as Prince Deshun said this, all the members present except Dexin’s lineage and Zhao’s lineage secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although self-examination and tax repayment are very likely to hurt their muscles and bones, they are better than being punished. After the discovery, it was nakedly announced that the world was going well.

Moreover, since it is a self-examination, it is up to you to decide how much tax you pay, and there is a lot of room for action.

Everyone instinctively and subconsciously had a good impression of Prince Deshun.

However, in the next instant, their goodwill was completely lost.

Only because Prince Deshun added: “After each royal family and aristocratic families check and correct themselves, the three leaders can conduct random inspections across the country, and then find any family with omissions that have not been made up, not only will they be fined a hundred times the tax. The relevant accountant should bear the guilt, and if the circumstances are serious, they can be sent to the cannon fodder camp to atone for the crime.”

The crowd burst into a cold sweat.

This is too brutal.

In this way, even if other members of the family want to cheat on taxation, the head of the family and the accountant will not do it.

“If someone reports tax evasion and evasion in the family, once it is verified, the reporter can be given a huge reward.” “It’s okay if the wrongful accusation is made, and the wronged family can be commended and awarded the title of ‘tax model’, city guard, county guard. Preferential treatment can be given in every way.”

The measures one by one popped out of Prince Deshun’s mouth, as if he had long thought about it.

Even Emperor Longchang looked at Prince Deshun. This old guy has been fishing for hundreds of years on the banks of the West Sea, but he has made considerable progress.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Longchang said: “Deshun’s words are quite reasonable. If so, then we should start from Dexin, Prince Deshun’s residence, Kang, Anjun’s residence, and the residences of the two great princes.”

“The rest of the royal family will also self-examine and correct themselves, make up for tax evasion within 20 years, and re-register the concealed, small, and missed industries. After self-examination, those who find major faults will be punished severely.”

“Retreat!”

The voice of the Great Emperor reverberated endlessly in the Dinggan Hall.

A final decision, no one can refute it.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

All the civil and military ministers saluted and drank together.

…

This time the court will fluctuate greatly, and it will naturally lead to a lot of private discussions after the court.

Emperor Longchang went down to court, but instead of going to the Humble Administrator’s Pavilion, he went for a walk in the imperial garden, fed the little wolf cubs, and then prepared to drop by to visit Wang Anye and other bear cubs.

He walked casually, his face no longer dignified, but a kind of relaxed look.

“Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty.” Lao Yao said with a smile, “After this tax rectification, the evil spirits of tax evasion and evasion in the whole country will be eliminated, and the national strength will also be greatly improved.”

“You old man, Wang Shouzhe was used as a spearman, are you still so happy?” Emperor Longchang stared angrily, “Tell me honestly, did you go to Anjun Wang long ago and hope that I will hang up sooner? , abdicated for the wise?”

“Your Majesty has been wronged~~ This old slave is His Majesty’s man, and death is His Majesty’s ghost.” Lao Yao apologized with a “frightened” face, “This old servant is happy for His Majesty~ You have long wanted to rectify your taxes, but it’s just that I haven’t been able to find a suitable reason and opportunity. Now Wang Shouzhe’s trouble, isn’t it in your favor?”

“You shameless old thing.” After the Emperor Longchang laughed and scolded, his face gradually became solemn, “I have no reason and opportunity, I just haven’t been able to make up my mind. If you want to convince the public about tax audits, you must first start with Royal start. Royal face, this wave is about to be planted.”

“Wang Shouzhe’s counterattack this time can be regarded as making up my mind. Extending the head is a knife, and retracting the head is also a knife. Since it is a stubborn disease, it is natural that the faster the knife is, the harder it is to strike, the cleaner it is.”

“Although I’m old, my prestige and prestige are still there, and everyone knows that I’m moody and bad-tempered, and it’s still unclear how many burials I’ll take before I die, so they won’t dare to mess around with me. Take this opportunity to cure this stubborn disease, is it possible that you are still waiting for the new emperor to toss this matter?”

What was the situation of the new emperor when he first came to power, can Emperor Longchang not know?

At that time, he was surrounded by a bunch of elders, surrounded by a bunch of relatives, and his prestige was not yet established. If he wanted to do something, how could it be so easy for him now?

“Your Majesty Shengming.” Lao Yao flattered and sighed, “This time, the prestige of Prince Dexin and Prince Kang’s lineage will be damaged.”

“That is also their own fault, and they dare not accept even 30% of the error. Isn’t this enough to explain the problem?” Emperor Longchang said with a slightly dissatisfied expression, “Especially that old Dexin, who is not right, has affected the whole nest. This is not the case with that child at first, and he has taught Dexin badly all these years.”

“I just took the opportunity to beat and beat Wu Chengsi, to make him understand that if he still wants to fight for the throne of the emperor, he has to sit upright.

“The old slave also hopes that after this incident, King Kang will be able to overcome his pain and truly become a capable and responsible quasi-emperor.” Lao Yao echoed.

“That depends on whether he can really be reborn when he is facing difficulties. If he can’t, he can only be eliminated.” Emperor Longchang said calmly, “There is no room for sloppiness in the struggle between emperors and sons. This is about my work. Great luck for the country.”

“Your Majesty, Wang Shouzhe’s servant can’t come this time because of his righteousness and rebellion. Do you want the old slave to meet him in person, and then escort him to see His Majesty?”

“Humph! It’s not necessary, what is my identity? Is it because he wants to see him, he can’t see him if he doesn’t want to? Hang on, sooner or later he will beg me.”

Master and slave two, you say a word to me, and gradually go away.

…

almost at the same time.

Meng Yuanbai, who had descended to court, immediately summoned a few of Sancai’s cronies, and rushed to the Dingguo Gongfu in the name of tax inspection.

Once you enter Dingguo Gongfu.

Meng Yuanbai sent his cronies out, and then grabbed Wang Yuchang, the head of the Wang family who was in charge of entertaining him: “Patriarch Yuchang, is Wang Shouzhe still in the Wang family? Please take me to see him immediately.”

“Master Meng, don’t be impatient.” Wang Yuchang calmly pulled him away. “At this hour, Shouzhe is still taking a nap. No hurry, let’s have a cup of tea and chat.”

nap?

Meng Yuanbai’s expression froze, he couldn’t believe it, that Wang Shouzhe’s servant turned the Dinggan Hall upside down and implicated the whole world.

Is he still in the mood to take a nap?

“Patriarch Yuchang.” Meng Yuanbai resisted the urge to curse his mother, took a deep breath and saluted, “Life is at stake, please.”

Wang Yuchang showed embarrassment: “When Shouzhe takes a nap, he doesn’t like being disturbed.”

After a pause, he nodded solemnly again and said, “But since it was invited by Lord Meng, then Wang will risk it. Lord, please come with me.”

“Many thanks to Patriarch Yuchang.” Meng Yuanbai saluted again gratefully, but muttered in his heart. Seeing Wang Shouzhe, he felt as if he owed a great favor.

Wang Yuchang led Meng Yuanbai to the Four Seasons Garden.

And “forcibly disturbed” Wang Shouzhe’s nap.

Not long after, Wang Shouzhe received Meng Yuanbai in the study. He smiled and brewed tea in person: “Mr. Meng is here, and Shouzhe welcomes him from afar. Forgive your sins and forgive your sins.”

Unexpectedly.

Meng Yuanbai stood up first and saluted deeply with a face full of awe: “Patriarch Shouzhe, Yuanbai has been offended before, please ask the patriarch Haihan one or two.”

“How dare you, how dare you.” Wang Shouzhe said politely, “Mr. Meng is dedicated to serving the public, so how could Shouzhe hold any resentment? What’s more, it is the Lord who has proved Wang’s innocence. Lord Meng, these wild teas are Shouzhe’s. The unintentional harvest of the great-grandson, although vulgar, has a unique flavor.”

The best tea in his hand is of course the leaves of life that Wang Lixian has shaken off.

It’s just too precious, not really close people, he is reluctant to share.

“The great-grandson, but the child of Anye? I heard that he lives in His Majesty’s Wangxian Pavilion and is very favored by His Majesty.” Meng Yuanbai took a sip and praised, “Good tea, good tea. , Shouzhe’s patriarch is really a person with deep blessings, and the children are outstanding one by one.”

“The generation of Guilong Mengshi is also full of talents.” Wang Shouzhe smiled and said to each other, “The third grade can be expected.”

After touting each other’s business for a while, the two gradually became acquainted with each other.

Only then did Meng Yuanbai reveal his true colors, and said bitterly: “Patriarch Shouzhe, I have learned how powerful you are in your two counterattacks. However, you have made my old Meng miserable. Now , Zhao clan already hates me to the bone. Prince Dexin’s lineage also regards me as a thorn in the eye.”

“Even, in the future, all the big and small families in the whole country will secretly slander me Meng Yuanbai. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com Patriarch Shouzhe, where does this make me Meng Yuanbai?”

“Congratulations, Mr. Meng, you want to be famous in history.” Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands and said.

go down in history!

The ghosts want to be famous in history, Meng Yuanbai’s mouth twitched: “Patriarch Shouzhe stop joking, please point out a clear path.”

“Minglu? Could it be that Mr. Meng still has the heart to join the Duke of Kang?” Wang Shouzhe asked curiously.

“How is it possible, Prince Kang hates me to the bone now. Besides, he is a person with small temperament and a cold nature. I don’t dare to rely on him.” Meng Yuanbai shook his head, his eyes filled with hope, “So, for the rest of my life, I will Please take care of Patriarch Shouzhe.”

“Mr. Meng is very polite, just support each other, just support each other.” Wang Shouzhe returned the salute with a smile, “After this matter, I will introduce the King of Anjun for you.”

“Okay, okay, okay~, since Shouzhe and I are already on the same boat.” Meng Yuanbai, who had just taken refuge in, knew very well that he should make a “resignation certificate”, rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly, “This is Once, Shouzhe, you can do what you want to do. From Meng Mou guarding Zhe’s patriarch several times, I am afraid that this strategy is not as simple as checking taxes. ”

“Brother Yuanbai is worthy of being the director of the Three Talents Department.” Wang Shouzhe said with a light smile, “It’s fine to check taxes normally, but Brother Yuanbai should pay more attention to the traces of the in and out of large sums of unidentified money…”

Unknown financial resources?

Meng Yuanbai’s body was shaken, and he looked at Wang Shouzhe in disbelief: “Could the head of Shouzhe mean…”

But in the blink of an eye, he cheered up again: “Brother Shouzhe is really a good means, Yuan Bai admires it. Don’t worry, as long as he does it boldly, there must be traces. Yuan Bai’s subordinates have a lot of sense of smell. Sharp genius.”

He didn’t expect that as soon as he got on the boat, he ushered in a great feat.
