Chapter 186
"I think that Elder Wen Ge's method is good, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked deliberately.
Sun Yuanhua, the Ministry of Works who was a thief with a weak heart, immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Elder Wen Ge's move is too much fanfare!" The left is just some small traders, because of greed for money, make a small matter, why make such a big move? "
Zhu Youxiao: "Then you say, how should I be punished?" "
Sun Yuanhua: "The minister thinks that everything is because of money, just fine them directly, and let them ... Only...... Just..."
Zhu Youxiao: "Let's just collect taxes, how about it?" "
Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Just collect taxes! "
Wen Tiren jumped out again: "Your Majesty, these merchants already pay taxes!" "
Zhu Youxiao: "In that case, let's raise taxes!" Originally, the commercial tax was still the thirty tax one in the Hongwu period, since they were so bold, let's directly mention the thirty tax eleven! "
As soon as they heard "thirty taxes and eleven", everyone was shocked!
So high! Did I make a mistake!?
Seeing that the eyes of everyone present were about to fall out, Zhu Youxiao asked again,
"Then or... Just do as Elder Wen Ge said? "
The ministers hurriedly: "No, no, no!" Just raise taxes! "
Thirty taxes eleven is thirty taxes eleven, anyway, it is better than careful investigation, lost your old life and did not earn a dime!
The matter was finalized, and the emperor also left.
The ministers were finally able to go home with peace of mind.
However, on the way back, the more everyone pondered, the more they felt that something was wrong...
A few people got together and discussed,
"In other words, when the emperor said that the tax was raised to thirty taxes and eleven, he only mentioned that part of the commercial tax, right?"
"I thought so at first, but how do I remember when the emperor said that the tax was raised... It seems to be a collection ... All the business taxes? "
"Isn't it! All commercial taxes!? But what the emperor told us at the beginning was not just the private production and sale of two- and three-wheeled vehicles? "
"I don't know... No, my brain is a little dizzy, or let's go back and ask the emperor? "
"Why don't you go early! The emperor is gone, are you still going? To go is to find death! "
"But what if the emperor said that all the commercial taxes were collected? Thirty taxes and eleven! All business taxes! This is really looking for death! "06
For a while, everyone was silent...
Thirty taxes eleven... All commercial taxes...
If all commercial taxes are really collected, it will be really dead!
You know, behind the commercial tax, it is not just businessmen.
Behind them, they are often family families!
And don't talk about other family families, just talk about this group of people!
The industries under their hands are also numerous!
If all the commercial taxes were collected, it would be a terrifying amount!
You know, that's thirty taxes and eleven!!
The more everyone thought about it, the more panicked they became, and the more they thought about it, the more chaotic it became!
"No, no, no! The tax mentioned by the emperor must only mention those commercial taxes that are modeled on the products of the Ministry of Industry, and it is absolutely impossible to be all commercial taxes! "
"Are you sure..."
"I... I can only say that I drank too much and my brain was a little confused before, and I... I don't know! "
"You drank too much, and I drank too much!" It's as if whoever has a clear head..."
"So what do we do now?"
"What can we do, it is impossible to go back to the emperor, and the emperor will not see us!" We can only wait for the emperor's edict to be issued now..."
"What if all the commercial taxes are actually collected?"
"How do I know what to do!!"
At this time, Wen Tiren fluttered by,
"What else can I do? Fang Cai, you have sworn to His Majesty and agreed to raise taxes!
You are important ministers of the imperial court, and if you repent of the Son of Heaven with your own promises, it will be a crime of deception!
The crime of cheating the king, that is to copy the Nine Tribes!
I said that you are also true, why are you all anxious to oppose me?
Now it's okay, things are like this, how to end up then, you can only watch and do it yourself!
I have already done my best, but you all did not listen to the advice, and you still refuted me in front of the emperor!
Alas...... After all, I am self-inflicted, after all, it is me, the second assistant of the cabinet, who does not have as much weight as Lord Shoufu..."
Wen Tiren said while shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.
It was as if the suggestion he had made to the emperor earlier was really for the good of this group of people.
Present, he didn't forget to pull Shoufu Gu Bingqian out and step on it!
He is used to pretending to be a good old man, and his face is even more at this moment: I am all for your sake!
However, deep in his heart, there was a burst of amusement.
A group of fools, who were tricked by the emperor and did not know it!
This time, I broke my teeth and had to swallow them in my stomach!
Looking at the back of Wen Tiren slowly leaving, everyone felt like vomiting in their hearts!
It's not that I'm disgusted by the fake sympathy of warmth and body.
It was only after listening to Wen Tiren's words that they finally woke up!
It turns out that this meal tonight is so worthless!!
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
These people who participated in the "Hongmen Banquet" had a good night's sleep, except for a very small number of second-pole people who were not involved in the matter of "raising taxes".
The rest of the ministers were all apprehensive for a whole night!
Before dawn, they hurried to work, in order to wait for the emperor's edict!
They are very anxious to see it now!
Does His Majesty the Emperor only collect "partial" people's commercial taxes, or do you want to collect everyone's commercial taxes!
If only "part" of the human commercial tax is collected, then everything will be fine!
But if the entire human commercial tax is collected...
Then you can only wish yourself peace ...
The wait is long.
After all, the emperor is not sleepless like them.
A group of people all crowded into the cabinet, waiting for the emperor's edict to reach the cabinet!
"It's coming, it's coming! It's finally here! Or did Duke Wei come in person!! "
After waiting for a long time, this uplifting voice finally came out!
At the same time, the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian walked into the cabinet with his neck on his back.
Gu Bingqian, the head of the cabinet that Wei Zhongxian pulled up in one hand, hurriedly walked up with a smile on his face.
"Why did Grandfather Wei come in person! Come on, go make a cup of tea for Grandpa Wei! "
Hearing the words of brewing tea, everyone was a little resentful in their hearts.
Joke, they are all ministers! How can there be a reason for ministers to make tea for geldings!
However, among the masses, there are always one or two unlucky bastards who have no spine.
This kind of unlucky egg, naturally, can only go to "serve tea and pour water".
In the face of Gu Bingqian's warm hospitality, Wei Zhongxian did not give face, but rolled his eyes.
Idiot! I don't think Lao Tzu was impeached enough! Lao Tzu can still lack your sip of tea?
Wei Zhongxian was speechless in his heart, he sighed, and directly talked about business.
"Let's pass on the emperor's edict!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone hurriedly patted their sleeves and knelt down!
Passing on the emperor's edict is not just as simple as passing on a word.
According to the rules, the person who passed the edict represented the emperor, so everyone had to kneel down to receive the order!
"The Emperor's edict: Last night, I discussed with the secretaries that the commercial tax would be raised from "30 taxes one" to "30 taxes and 11", and the cabinet would immediately draft the holy decree and issue it for implementation! "
Now, the answer is revealed.
The words in the edict are very clear and simple. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
There is no such thing as a "partial" commercial tax!
Yes, just the word "commercial tax"!
This also shows that what the emperor wants to collect is all the commercial taxes!
After listening to this edict, many people kneeling on the ground were bone-soft and almost collapsed on the ground...
Hube Shangshu Fang Congzhe was directly unconscious...
No way, tax collection has always been handled by Hubu, and Fang Congzhe is Hubu Shangshu.
What the emperor's edict said was simple and clear, that is, it was clear that all commercial taxes would be collected!
To mention all the commercial taxes at once, this kind of thing is undoubtedly quite offending!
Fang Congzhe knew very well that his old bone really couldn't do this kind of offending work...
Instead of staying and offending people is thankless, simply pretend to be sick and comatose, and when the time comes, directly resign!
Fang Congzhe got out, and the rest of the people are not so good!
Although there were one or two older ministers who also pretended to be asleep.
But fainting one or two can still be said, if the group of three or five is all unconscious, it is to treat the emperor as a fool.
They did not dare to take the emperor for a fool, on the contrary, they were the real fools ...
A fool who was given two hundred and five by the emperor with a meal ...
Wei Zhongxian left after delivering the emperor's edict, not even drinking the freshly brewed tea.
Leaving a group of miserable and desperate ministers, kneeling in place in a daze...
You know, since ancient times, the only people who do not deal with the family family have always been emperors and suppressed down-and-out families.
Now it's good, and those who offend the family have become these gentlemen and doctors...
This is not the water rushing the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not recognize the family
Well!
Qianqing Palace.
After Wei Zhongxian returned, he immediately reported what happened in the cabinet to Zhu Youxiao.
Including the fact that everyone turned black and Fang Congzhe and others passed out.
After Zhu Youxiao listened, he couldn't help but laugh.
He also sighed in his heart: Fang Congzhe is worthy of being a shoufu, and he has been in the court for many years as an old fritters! I picked myself off easily!
It's just that you want to just take it out?
Think beautiful!
Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxian and ordered,
"Wei Zhongxian, Lord Fang has been an official for decades, and he has been working conscientiously, but now he is suddenly in a coma, and he is very worried!
Now that there are few people in the cabinet, and there is no candidate for the cabinet in the DPRK, I am really worried!
By the way, you immediately ask the imperial doctor to go to Fang's mansion to treat Lord Fang, and then pick up some precious supplements from Neku to see Lord Fang!"
Remember, you go in person!
Also, you have to tell Lord Fang word for word for these words that Xu told you, understood? "
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly nodded: "The slave understands!" Slave, let's do it! "
After receiving the order, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly retreated.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian didn't quite understand His Majesty's intentions...
After all, the emperor's mind is something he can't figure out, and he doesn't dare to figure out...
But the emperor asked him that, and he couldn't always say: "Huh? "
Then it's really looking for death...
After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhu Youxiao also began to calculate the next plan!
Although the current raising of commercial taxes has been issued, it is not so simple to really implement it!
It's just that the current situation is quite good.
At least the annoying group of ministers honestly shut their mouths!
After the "Hongmen Banquet", the main officials of these eight departments, even if they have suffering, they have to grit their teeth and swallow into their stomachs!
Who let them drink wine, fill their stomachs, and personally promised to raise the 780 commercial tax!
Although this time, it was he, the emperor, who came with a "false shake shot"!
But according to the vigilance of this group of ministers over the years, if they hadn't drunk too much, it would really not be so easy to deceive them.
At this point, it doesn't matter if you cheat or not.
Anyway, now these ministers, even if they are willing, they are not willing!
This thief ship of his, as long as it comes up, don't think about going down!
Going down is the crime of cheating!
In the following time, the entire Ming Dynasty can be described as bombing!
The sudden mention of commercial tax has attracted many people's doubts and opposition!
In the Jingshi Shuntianfu, almost all of these people who bluntly raised their objections were some officials of lower rank.
In addition, many local officials who were reporting on their duties in other places also wrote to raise objections!
The officials of the eight departments of Ying Tianfu also saw the excitement and did not worry about the big cross and kicked in, and also followed the letter to oppose!
At this moment, the biggest one is not Emperor Zhu Youxiao, but the cabinet of Jingshi Shuntian and the main officials of the eight departments!
The big guys don't understand that the two cabinet elders support the raising of commercial taxes!
After all, these two pavilion elders, one is a gelding, and the other is a two-sleeved breeze and two poles!
But why did the eight Shangshu and the attendants all agree?
Could it be that these people have a handle that is held in the hands of the emperor?
Everyone expressed disunderstanding and disrespect!
Even if these cabinet elders and the eight ministries of Shangshu Lang are their top bosses, they can't understand!
After all, the mention of commercial tax can be said to have moved their jobs!
The whole world is for the benefit!
At the moment their "interests" are passive, no matter who moves them!
Not even if it is a top boss, even if it is a former fellow party!
So, an unprecedented impeachment contest began!
And this time, the object of the most impeachment is no longer the emperor!
But the main officials of the eight ministries, and the cabinet!
Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister really can't do it anymore, please let Wei Chen go, and allow the minister to resign!"
"Your Majesty! The minister really can't stand it, recently there have been more and more impeachment of the minister, the minister now can't even sleep well, as soon as he closes his eyes, he is scolded, it's uncomfortable! "
"Your Majesty! Have pity on your poor minister! The courtier capital is almost eighty, so let the minister return home! "
"Your Majesty..."
After being scolded for nearly two months, the eight Shangshu, who were close to collapse, finally saw His Majesty the Emperor who had their hearts in mind!
As soon as they met, the eight people knelt down in unison, crying loudly!
They all have only one goal, that is: to resign!
