Chapter 277 I am right
"What are your objections to Shi Aiqing?"
Although Zhu Youxiao couldn't see anything on the surface, he felt a little unhappy. He was about to reach an agreement. What are you doing, Shi Feng!
Why did I set up this Beijing Taxation Department now? Are you not sure about it?
Isn’t it that I have seen with my own eyes how arrogant your caravan is?
I passed by directly without caring about anything, so that I could clearly understand what kind of situation the taxation in Beijing was facing. Before I could find you, I jumped up on myself!
"I think Your Majesty's move is contrary to the ancestors' law." Shi Fenglai felt that it would be better to take the taxes in the capital in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue. For some reason, he always felt that the emperor had something in his words, and it seemed that it was not that simple.
So, he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only use the principle of violating the ancestors' law to restrict Zhu Youxiao.
"In violation of the ancestor's laws, Taizu Chengzu issued an edict to not build the capital tax department, yes!" Zhu Youxiao Yu Guang glanced at him.
Shi Fenglai's pupils suddenly shrank slightly. When will the emperor be so slutty?
Taizu Chengzu was not a god, how could they know that one day the emperor would build a Beijing tax department? Your Majesty is talking blatantly?
"Your Majesty, aren't you a little unreasonable? How could Emperor Taizu Chengzu predict what happened today? Please think twice." Shi Fenglai was just one thing anyway, and he firmly disagreed.
"According to Shi Aiqing's words, the ancestors have achieved the law. Since this is the case, you are now contrary to Taizu's law." Zhu Youxiao suddenly looked at Shi Fenglai with some joy: "Do you write a letter to restore you to the level of Emperor Taizu or I will issue an order."
Shi Fenglai was immediately embarrassed. He forgot that his cabinet was not the cabinet of Emperor Taizu. The cabinet of the Taizu period was only a fifth-rank official rank, but now he is the second-rank rank of the dynasty and has the right to vote and be above the six ministries.
If it were the Emperor Taizu, why would it be so majestic?
But Shi Fenglai couldn't say that this was established by the previous few emperors, because no matter how big the late emperor was, he would not be as great as the Emperor Taizu. Wouldn't this have slapped himself in the face?
Suddenly, the pavilion masters looked at Shi Fenglai with a little bad eyes. What are you talking about? What does it mean to follow the ancestors to achieve the law! Could it be that people like me still have to follow the rules of the Hongwu period?
Shi Feng came anxious. He knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, because he did not expect the emperor to mention such a thing, and directly mentioned the rules during the founding of Hongwu.
However, he did not admit defeat so easily, but instead found another excuse: "Your Majesty's taxes in the capital area must not be received by the inner court. I don't know which traitor mentioned this kind of traitor in the fight for profit with the people. This person is a traitor."
"Fight for profit with the people?" Zhu Youxiao I leaned back slightly and leaned backwards on the armrest of the chair: "What is the basis for Shi Aiqing's so-called competition for profit with the people?"
"Since ancient times, your Majesty should be taken from the people and used for the people. Your Majesty collects the taxes in the capital area to the inner court. If the silver enters the inner treasury, isn't it a competition for profit with the people?" Shi Fenglai asked with both hands.
"Guo Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao did not answer Shi Fenglai's words in a positive way, but instead looked at Guo Yunhou.
"I'm here." Guo Yunhou replied.
"Tell me, how much was the tax in Gyeonggi area last year?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Return to Your Majesty, the tax on the Gyeonggi area in the sixth year of the Age, 260,000 taels of silver were invested." Guo Yunhou knew these data well, so he blurted out.
"Twenty-six thousand taels, have you heard it clearly? The capital area is only 260,000 taels of silver. I allocate one million taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue from the treasury every year, but there is 840,000 taels of silver! I supply so much silver to the Ministry of Revenue every year, is this still a competition for profit with the people!" Zhu Youxiao's momentum gradually became sharp and pressed towards Shi Feng.
"Your Majesty! No!" Guo Yunhou suddenly stood up and said seriously.
"Yeah!" Zhu Youxiao was even more powerful and his eyes became sharp. What exactly did Guo Yunhou want to do!
"Your Majesty! It should be 740,000 taels!" Guo Yunhou nodded with certainty.
"Uh..." Zhu Youxiao suddenly relaxed his momentum.
It seems that I really did...wrong...
"I mean to add another 100,000 taels to you. I have always cared about the people. How can I see the treasury empty and indifferent?" Zhu Youxiao said with a little itchy teeth. It is really a stubborn duck. Zhu Youxiao is now showing this perfectly.
I am the emperor, how could I make a mistake? I added money for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"I thank Your Majesty for your behalf on behalf of the people of the world!" Guo Yunhou was so happy that he immediately gave Zhu Youxiao a big gift.
"No gifts, no gifts." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and started to feel a little unhappy. He said a word, 100,000 taels of silver would be gone. It would be hard for anyone to feel this matter.
Shi Fenglai stopped talking immediately. Guo Yunhou thanked His Majesty on behalf of the people of the world. What else can he say? Originally, the tax was 200,000 to 300,000 taels, but now the Ministry of Revenue can get 1.1 million taels. This is simply telling the people of the world that I am thinking about you.
Because everyone will do this.
But the emperor wants to activate taxes, which is a dangerous signal. Is this Beijing Taxation Department a starting point, and there will be more taxes in the future?
Shi Fenglai didn't know, but he knew that the matter was not that simple. One million taels of silver were exchanged for 200,000 taels per year. This was simply a fool who knew that he was at a loss. Don't the emperor know that he was stumped?
"Shi Aiqing, I am competing for profit with the people. Where is the profit for this?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"I'm confused!" What else could Shi Fenglai say? Kneel on the ground and admit defeat immediately.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Shi Fenglai. He wanted to take him down, but he remembered the report from the Jinyiwei. Shi Fenglai seemed to have had sex with the Donglin Party.
Forget it, let's keep him a life for the time being. If you kill him, it will be uncertain. However, I have lost 100,000 taels of silver. I cannot swallow the bitter fruit in vain and remain indifferent.
"The position of the Chief Supervisor of the Cabinet is still undecided. Zhang Aiqing, Li Aiqing, come to Aiqing, and there are also six ministers, Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister Lu Aiqing. I have been thinking carefully when I go back in the past few days to see who will be elected as the Chief Supervisor of the Cabinet."
Shi Fenglai was shocked. The ministers and emperors present had forgotten him. What does this mean? This means that the court's promotion of the first assistant shop has nothing to do with him.
No! The chief minister must be mine! Shi Fenglai thought about the power behind him and felt that even the emperor had to consider it.
"Okay, let's plan to make a cabinet ticket for the Beijing Taxation Department. Lu Xiangsheng, please help from the side!"
