"Give good things to others, but not to yourself. Cuteness is used to understand the distant, and understanding is used to detect the subtle. Follow the righteousness of heaven and understand the needs of the people." Liu Shui blurted out directly. In his mind, Xie Ji was the most perfect person.

Old man Xu looked at Liu Shui in disbelief. This, this lie is too exaggerated. Is this irony?

"Are you sure you're not being sarcastic?" Before old man Xu could speak, Xu Bin said in shock.

Are you sure you are talking about that Xie Ji and not someone else? Did he hear wrongly? There seems to be nothing wrong with his ears!

"It's a joke, the Patriarch is already such a person, why do you still need me to tell lies?" Liu Shui naturally retorted, in his eyes, Xie Ji is like this, you common people don't understand the Patriarch, in his eyes the Patriarch is a saint

general existence.

The head of the family does not seek fame or profit. The profit comes to the head of the house first. The head of the house does not like bribes, but those idiot officials always bring a lot of money to bribe the head of the house. If the head of the house does not accept it, their hearts will be broken.

, so the head of the house reluctantly accepted it in order not to make them sad. Moreover, the head of the house did not take bribes. Didn’t you see that the head of the house did not give any convenience to those who bribed the head of the house?

"You are the Prime Minister's man, so naturally you speak for him." Xu Bin curled his lips. Although he knew that Xie Ji was not that unbearable, it was not something ordinary people could get such a reputation.

"If I don't speak for the head of the family, why should I speak for you?" Liu Shui looked at Xu Bin as if he was a fool, asking such nonsense.

Xu Bin thought it made sense, but it was too exaggerated. That traitorous minister, the traitorous minister actually deserved this comment?

Old man Xu just listened to their argument, and looked at the case that the traitor asked him to sort out. He cried without tears. You are such a traitor, but you still exploited me, an old man.

When he was halfway through sorting out these cases, Old Man Xu saw a special case. No, this was not a case. This was the handwriting of the traitor. Because Xie Ji inherited the body of the original owner, he naturally also inherited the handwriting of the original owner. This is

This body's innate ability

The more Old Man Xu looked down, the more solemn he became. This treacherous minister wanted to improve the taxation and classify the taxation. No tax would be required for a monthly income of ten golds. If the monthly income is more than ten golds and less than a hundred golds, the excess tax would be taxed.

If the monthly income is more than 1,000 gold and less than 10,000 gold, you will draw 2 out of 10, and if the monthly income is more than 1,000 gold, you will draw 4 out of 10.

The general meaning is that if your monthly income is 20,000 gold, the tax you have to pay is 40% tax if it exceeds 10,000 gold, and 4,000 gold; a total of 9,000 gold from 1,000 gold to 10,000 gold, and 100% tax for 9,000 gold.

The tax of thirty to one thousand gold is 2,700 gold; the total tax from one hundred gold to one thousand gold is nine hundred gold. The tax for nine hundred gold is 20%, one hundred and eighty gold; the total tax from ten gold to one hundred gold is ninety gold.

, the tax to be paid for ninety gold is 10%, nine gold; therefore, the total tax to be paid for a monthly income of twenty thousand is four thousand gold plus two thousand seven hundred gold plus one hundred and eighty gold plus nine gold, a total of six

One thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine gold.

This is only 20,000 gold to pay so much tax. How much tax do you want those millions of gold to pay? The first 10,000 gold is not worth mentioning to them. The basic tax reduces their money by almost half, and they will still forgive it.

about you.

This is simply a fantasy. It has never happened since ancient times. If this continues, ordinary people will not have to pay a cent of tax at all, while those high-ranking officials will have to bear half of the tax. What's more, you are sure you can carry it out.

.

This is simply funny, funny, and the idea is too idealistic. It is just a talk and cannot be implemented at all.

Besides, you, Xie Ji, relied on your power as prime minister to really let this order be implemented. Your Majesty also supports you, and your people have no objections. Then wouldn’t your traitorous minister lose half of his money and possibly abolish this order?

You are the traitor yourself.

However, the traitor could actually come up with such a plan, which greatly changed his view of the traitor. If it could be implemented, it would not only narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, but also fill the national treasury.

However, this strategy was destined to be impossible to realize from the beginning. This strategy is simply too idealistic and cannot be realized in real life.

However, it is really difficult for the traitor to come up with this plan. He probably doesn't know how big a stir it will cause if his plan is announced to the public, not to mention his current status.

What may cause those officials to attack in groups. After all, you are now a traitor who wants to exploit our officials. We can't let you exploit us. What's more, there is no such truth since ancient times. If the people do not pay taxes, let the officials

To pay taxes.

If you want to know how much ten gold is, it means ten taels of gold. If you are frugal, you can spend a lifetime.

It is impossible for ordinary people to earn ten gold a month no matter how hard they work, so in this way, those at the bottom do not have to pay taxes at all.

As for those high-ranking officials, they earn ten thousand gold a month. Let’s just say that the traitor, a conservative estimate, is one hundred thousand gold a month. If you calculate it this way, the tax the traitor has to pay will be around forty thousand.

In the past, the tax you had to pay might not be 10,000, but now you have to pay 40,000. Do you think that traitor will really do it? Think about it, this will do you a lot of harm without any benefit. You say that the traitor will really do this to you?

An unfriendly order at all?

But how to explain this? This is indeed the handwriting of the traitor. Maybe the traitor really thought about it?

So, is that traitor still a traitor? If we put aside the identity of the traitor and do not consider our own personal gains and losses, if this order is really spread throughout the world, it will be a great blessing to the people of the world and a blessing to the people.

But this is the idea of ​​a treacherous minister. This has to take into account his identity. This is completely inconsistent with my previous impression of him. How could a person change so much? Could it be that he was stimulated by something?

No, I have to ask him when the time comes. If I don't ask, I won't feel at ease.

Old Man Xu closed the document, thinking about it all the time, and had no intention of reading anything else.

This handwriting seems to have been newly written not long ago. Did this idea come up just recently?

Why on earth did Xie Ji have such thoughts?

This is simply not a plan that normal people can come up with.

However, Old Man Xu looked through this large pile of documents to see if he could find any documents with Xie Ji's handwriting. He was now beginning to be interested in this traitorous official.

In this way, old man Xu actually found several documents with Xie Ji's handwriting. These handwritings were all newly written.

There are some details about how Xie Ji judged the case. It was not like what was said that time, no matter what crime was committed, the property would be confiscated and distributed to the frontier.

Old man Xu looked at these cases and found that the sentences for the traitor were almost very light, and almost no criminal law was used. For example, two people fought in public over a chicken leg, which had a bad impact. This crime of disturbing public order should be punished by six whips.

10. And this treacherous official just asked them to mediate and give in to each other. This is too light.

And this, some people were caught secretly smashing the county government plaque in the middle of the night. This kind of behavior has violated the imperial court, and the traitor actually asked them to make a new plaque and install it. This is too frivolous.

Come on!

When did this treacherous minister ever act so softly? Why was the case so lenient? What's more, not even a single criminal law was used. This treacherous minister didn't act randomly, did he?

It was really unbelievable. If this was not really the handwriting of the traitor, he would have suspected that this case was decided by some unknown official who had just entered the court. The verdict of this case was not reasonable at all.

This treacherous official is so kind, it's not like him at all.

No, this is too light. Old man Xu crossed out what Xie Ji wrote while reading it and replaced it with a new sentence.

Liu Shui's eyes widened when he saw it, my dear fellow, how dare you cross out what the head of the family wrote.

"What are you doing? This is written by the head of the family?"

"Your master's sentence is unreasonable, let me change it." Old Man Xu said and crossed out some more.

Liu Shui said loudly: "It can't be changed."

If what the head of the family wrote was changed by this old man, where would the head of the family’s face be?

This was written by the patriarch of the family with great effort. How could it be changed by an old man? Although this old man used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he is not now, even now, but what the patriarch wrote is something that you can change casually?

No matter what Liu Shui said, Mr. Xu still crossed out the contents of Xie Ji's sentences. These sentences were too light and not enough to deter the people.

Liu Shui just stared at it. He was very unhappy when he saw the old man's operation. What kind of operation was this? Who dared to cross out the family head's sentence and re-sentence it except His Majesty? This was too disrespectful to the family head.

"Former Minister of Rites, it's an honor for you that the family leader asked you to help, but what have you done to veto the family leader's judgment? Is this your attitude towards the prime minister?" Liu Shui specially emphasized the word 'former', which means

Tell him, you are nothing now, just an ordinary citizen, and you dare to veto the family head's judgment. How brave you are!

"The prime minister made a mistake, so naturally I have to correct it. If I make a mistake, I must correct it. This is the most basic requirement of being a human being." Old Man Xu said lightly, anyway, you can't do anything to me? He now understands that traitorous minister.

It has indeed changed. In this case, it doesn't matter if he goes too far. Besides, I also helped the traitor correct his mistakes.

Since you are the prime minister, you should be impartial. If everyone judges cases like you do, the cost of crime will decrease and the crime rate may more than double. Since there is no big penalty for committing a crime, then I will rob and destroy others.

There won't be any substantial punishment for the property, so I'm breaking the law, so why not?

Even the sentence should be reasonable. If it is too harsh, of course it won't work, but if it is too light, it will be like scratching an itch. Then isn't it inciting people to break the law?

This kind of behavior is obviously not advisable, and I don’t know what the traitor was thinking. He actually made big things into trivial matters and trivial things into nothing. He really thought so well of the masses!

Don’t you know that people’s hearts are unpredictable? You sentenced them so lightly this time. What about those who were sentenced harshly in the past? You will not be sentencing cases for a lifetime in the future, but only temporarily. The people you sentenced are relatively light.
