Chapter 305: The Battle in the Court (IV)

In the court, the wind direction changes instantly.

The imperialists fought back.

A Liulizhai, which voluntarily pays 20% of the tax, instantly subverts the situation. The opposition "pursuing profit for the people" and "petition for the people" by weapons collapsed in front of this. In any case, others are definitely "voluntarily" paying taxes. How can you not let others fail? If it is an ordinary person, you can suppress the merchant so that his voice cannot reach the court. However, this Liulizhai..., sending people to suppress others is not seeking death? The level of the people who went there is a low level. Are the Jinyiwei Qianhu vegetarians vegetarians? Is it thrown out to you on the spot and go to a minister? The ministers or something? A few days ago, there was a minister who wanted to plan for Liulizhai. He was kicked as far as the emperor could. Now he still doesn't know where he is companion with the savages.

The opposition made a lot of calculations, but did not count Liulizhai, or Sun Liniang, who had just been appointed as an official, so he could hardly get up.

The opposition all looked pale and almost desperate. Today, they made so many preparations and compromised many benefits to achieve such an effect. Unexpectedly, a small memorial made all these preparations go away. The emperor really hit them with seven inches, and he was very good at playing.

The spirit of the Imperial Party has returned, and the Soy Sauce Party also looks at the opposition as if it is watching the show.

Yang Jie was quite proud. He sat on the throne and said with a smile: "Hehe, Shi Aiqing, this is a good thing! In my Ming Dynasty, it is rare to have such a merchant who voluntarily pays taxes! What's more, this Liulizhai is said to be a gold mountain. Haha, 20% of the month is used to pay taxes. Shi Shoufu, so do you know, how much money can you receive per month?"

Yang Jing did this on purpose, absolutely on purpose, and wanted to use money to show off and anger the opposition.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to what is said in this memorial, Liulizhai sold 80,000 taels of silver last month, of which 20% were 16,000 taels, and 192,000 taels a year..., Tsk... Your Majesty, 192,000 taels!" Shi Fenglai cooperated very well and explained in quite exaggerated words, especially when he said 192,000 taels, he wanted everyone in the world to know about this.

"Wow!" The entire hall was completely lively. Everyone knew that Liulizhai was a mountain of gold. Unexpectedly, it was really a mountain of gold. He was willing to pay 16,000 taels every month to pay taxes. Every year, that was 200,000 taels! The calculation standard for the medium-sized mansion was to pay 10 to 200,000 stones of grain, and the 200,000 taels of silver was almost equivalent to two medium-sized mansions.

The ministers were talking a lot, and the Soy Sauce Party was talking the most enthusiastic. Even the low-level officials who came to watch the show were talking a lot. Today it was a big deal. A business voluntarily paid taxes, which was equivalent to the size of two medium-sized governments. This is a strange thing. Today, it was definitely not in vain, nor was it in vain for the sun.

In the entire hall, only the opposition, their faces were so bad that they were all pale. The emperor's attack had killed them.

Shi Fenglai was even more unwilling to give up and stimulated the opposition with more "vicious" language.

"Your Majesty, this memorial also said that 80,000 taels per month is not the best. It will definitely become more prosperous in the future and you can pay more taxes... It's not surprising that it's not uncommon to pay 300,000 taels of silver a year! Tsk, it's amazing, awesome!" Shi Fenglai said in exaggerated words.

"Wow!!" The ministers were even more in a state of chaos. A merchant paid taxes for 400,000 taels, but only 20% of the sales of this merchant. So how much money does this merchant make every year? Kingsoft, Kingsoft! Liulizhai is now officially the name Kingsoft.

Yang Jie was secretly funny. Liulizhai could say 100,000 taels of silver was 20%, or 400,000 taels were 20%. Anyway, it was just handing it from his left hand to his right hand, but it was just an extra procedure. As for what he said, it all depends on his preferences.

"Oh, is it? This is really a good thing! It is rare that there are such a good businessman with conscience in the world. He is really a role model for thousands of businessmen in the world! If all the businessmen in the world are like this, I will be satisfied. I will resist the invasion of foreign tribes outside and appease the people inside. I will not be short of money! Good people, good people!" Yang Jing also pretended to behave.

Many ministers laughed at the emperor's appearance of sighing. Who doesn't know that Liulizhai is your own property, and Sun Liniang is your woman. Are you just taking your own money from your left hand to your right hand? This is still spending your own money, and there is no need to brag about yourself like this.

The opposition was even more helpless in this matter. He winked anxiously and thought of a way. As soon as he saw that the debate was about to lose!

An elderly minister's eyes were red, his eyes were decisive, and he looked at his death as if he was ready to die. He shouted: "Your Majesty, I firmly oppose Your Majesty's tax collection. Now that our dynasty has made such a fuss, does Your Majesty still understand that this is the punishment God has given us! Why did the north have been drought for more than ten consecutive years? This is why someone in the Ming Dynasty fought against Tianhe, and the heavens were angry and people resented, so such a great disaster came! Your Majesty still doesn't care about it now.

If you blindly insist on collecting taxes, will Your Majesty want to see the world of Ming Dynasty and give it all to the end? Your Majesty, it is time to cultivate oneself and reflect on yourself..." The opposition finally brought out the unity of man and nature. Apart from this, there is no saying that can change the situation on the field. The opposition is about to lose, and he doesn't care about being shameless and has no shame. They can't afford to lose, so they must stop the emperor from collecting taxes.

"...The country will be defeated by the loss of the law, and God will first cause disasters to be condemned. He does not know how to reflect on himself, and then makes strange things to be wary of them. He does not know how to change, but will be injured and even... Now our dynasty has continuous disasters, involving millions of people, and there are even signs of strange phenomena. This is God warning Your Majesty! Your Majesty still doesn't know the mistake. If you want to increase taxes to the world, wouldn't there be greater disasters? Your Majesty, for the sake of our people in the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty should do it better. Pay more attention to your own virtues, don't collect taxes... Otherwise, God will impose more severe punishments, which will be borne by the people of the Ming Dynasty!...Don't collect taxes..."

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and he trembled all over. He didn't breathe, and he fainted on the ground. The scene was in chaos. I don't know if he really fainted or pretended.

Yang Jing cursed in his heart: Damn, what are you doing? You are all rolling around, making trouble, and pretending to be scoundrels.

Yang Jing has only realized for the first time that he would have such pressure to be an emperor. This theory of the induction of heaven and man is really a bridle on the emperor's head, which makes the emperor unable to be free, and is also a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it pushes the emperor to the position of gods and becomes the emperor, and rule the people of the world on behalf of heaven, and lets the emperor rule the world, and let the emperor rule the world for the first time, but it also brings a negative effect. Once a disaster occurs, especially a large-scale disaster, it has become a manifestation of God's warning to the world that someone needs to be responsible. The person in charge must be the emperor. Who said you are the "son of the emperor"? If such a big thing happens, it is not your "god" or the "son of the emperor", or who is the problem? Only if the emperor loses virtue and makes God angry, will the terrible disaster be brought down...

Yang Jing also sighed that those who are involved in designing this set of remarks are really a genius. With this set of doctrines, in the future, they will be restricted.

The power of the monarch will have a basis for "legal principles". It is very simple to find trouble for the emperor and oppose the emperor. In that year, few places in the world have suffered disasters? As long as you use this set of theories to deal with the emperor, the emperor will be unaware of it, and the emperor will be very passive. The emperor will naturally put a shackle of the "Son of Heaven" on his head, and it will be too late to repent. Unless you can do the title of "Son of Heaven", or in other words, the mastery of the imperial power has reached the point where you don't care about anyone, and you have the courage to kill all those who oppose you. However, there are not many powerful emperors, that is, the founding emperor has such ability, and other emperors who succeed to the throne obviously cannot do this. Therefore, this set of the theories is really designed specifically for the emperor and is specifically used to deal with the emperor.

Yang Jing was not interested in this kind of response to heaven and man, nor did he believe at all. Yang Jing never believed that he was the emperor or the agent of heaven on earth. What Yang Jing believed was that the reason why he could be an emperor was because he had a good ancestor, because he had the army and the gun.

If I am the emperor, then according to the billions of years of the earth, my "son of heaven" is really small and ridiculous. If the entire universe is expanded by the scope of heaven, my "son of heaven" will be even more ridiculous.

Although Yang Jing did not believe it, he was also "cooperating" with the opposition. After hearing the opposition's words, he pretended to be irritable and said, "What do you mean is that this natural disaster was caused by my problem? Then the emotional saying, I don't have to spend tens of millions of taels of silver to provide disaster relief. I burn a few incense begging God. This is the drought that will be solved? There is nothing left?" Yang Jing pretended to be angry. This was the reaction that a young man should have. The light words of others completely denied the contribution he spent tens of millions of taels of silver to make, and no one could stand it.

"Your Majesty, it is! It is precisely because Your Majesty does not reflect on himself that the old genius has brought such a terrible disaster. Now, Your Majesty wants to collect taxes and plunder the people's wealth and ointment. How can God not be angry? God will definitely give a greater warning! I ask Your Majesty to collect taxes and leave a way out for the people of the world..." Since he has broken his face and has a "predecessor" fainted, the opposition has relaxed his concerns and began to use the great killing weapon of the unity of man and nature to teach the emperor a lesson.

"Hehe, hehe, what you mean is that because I became the emperor and became the emperor, there will be a drought that will last for more than ten years in the future? Haha, in this way, you might as well depose me and re-establish an emperor. Wouldn't this avoid natural disasters? How?" Yang Jing showed the image of an extremely angry emperor, and even said something like not being an emperor.

The ministers did not expect the emperor to say such words that were not the emperor. Not only the opposition was sweating on the forehead, but even the soy sauce party and the onlookers were sweating. This was a pretty good debate, but only a few more words became like this. It was really surprising. If this really made the emperor angry, I was afraid that the scene of hundreds of ministers in court would reappear! I am afraid that many people would be killed again!

When everyone saw Sun Chengzong standing up, they looked at him eagerly, wondering what he would say, was he urging the emperor to deal with us? Or were he urging the emperor to give in?

As the "imperial teacher", Sun Chengzong was the most trusted by the emperor. He did not perform well in this debate today, but just said a few words to the end. Now that he stood up, everyone knew that the boss was going to play and it was about to make a final decision. Everyone held their breath and saw what Sun Chengzong said.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Sun Chengzong said calmly.

"Tell me." Yang Jingwei was still pretending to be so angry that he was crazy. Even when facing Sun Chengzong, he gave him a little good face. This good show must be performed well.

"Report to Your Majesty, I first think that it is wrong to collect taxes. I support Your Majesty in collecting taxes. However, today's situation is related to the harmony between the monarch and the ministers. If you continue, it will probably hurt the face of the court. I suggest that the tax collection matter will be suspended, so I will not talk about it for the time being. As for whether taxes will be collected in the future, let's talk about it. However, as mentioned by the Shoufu Shi, someone who voluntarily uses the second transaction tax of the turnover to help Your Majesty resist the invasion of foreign races and appease the people internally, is also a sincere heart of some businessmen.

We should not hurt their hearts and cut off their door to serve the country. Therefore, I suggest that it is better to take the tax collection on the premise of voluntary businessmen. Your Majesty does not send tax supervisors, nor does he send people to collect taxes. He just relies on the merchants to file taxes and pay taxes voluntarily, which also opens a convenient door for some merchants to serve the country. In this way, it is not hindered by all the great people to ask for their decrees for the people. What do you think?" Sun Chengzong came to a mixed bag, and he turned the issue of paying taxes into voluntary work. Both sides took a step back, which was easy to explain.

Yang Jie was waiting for this sentence, but the flowers were all over the place. The condom I put down today was waiting for this sentence. As soon as this sentence was said, the condom was trapped. He was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he was confused.

The ministers, especially those opposition parties, saw that Sun Chengzong of the Imperial Party said this, and both sides took a step back and could step down. They immediately felt that this idea was a good idea. Since the emperor likes to play and collects his own taxes, then collect it, as long as it doesn't charge us.

The ministers looked at the emperor with a gaze, hoping that the emperor would agree to Sun Chengzong's approach so that both sides could step down, otherwise their butts would surely bloom if they persisted like this.

"Hmph! Am I a foolish, incompetent and lewd monarch? You dare to say this to me, which is really hurting my heart. Well... I am not skeptical about you today because of Master Sun's face, otherwise I would never be as easy to talk to as today." Yang Jingwei also looked unyielding, and agreed with Sun Chengzong's statement.

The ministers were relieved. The ultimate showdown with the emperor was not at the worst in the end!
Chapter completed!
