Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 405 Everyone is staring, how will the taxes be this year? (Please subscribe!!)

Seeing Ouyang Lun leave, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to stop him. After all, he wanted to teach Ouyang Lun a lesson today, but it was obvious that his lesson seemed useless.

But he couldn't think of a good reason for a while, so he could only let Ouyang Lun leave.

asshole!

This boy dares to ignore me because he has the queen's backing!

I have expressed it so clearly, but you still don’t take me with you to make money. It’s really abominable!
"Chongba, I know you are unhappy, but you should understand Ouyang. The reasons why he did this have just been explained to you one by one."

"You are the emperor, and the emperor does business. Aren't you afraid that the ministers in the court will force you into the palace again?"

Queen Ma said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched and muttered: "Sister, you are quite happy. We can understand it. After all, you have obtained 60% of the shares of Guoli Trading Company. From now on, you will also give gifts to officials during New Years and holidays. It’s in your name!”

"That son-in-law is very kind to you!"

"Chongba, you haven't said yet what kind of trading company you want to open and what kind of trend you want to lead?" Queen Ma asked.

"If Biao'er hears this, I don't know whether he will be happy or sad." Queen Ma shook her head.

"Tsk tsk, there are a lot more tax fleets today than in previous years!"

"Hey, what do you mean by this, are you jealous of me?" Queen Ma said with a smile: "In this case, I will transfer 60% of the shares to you. From now on, you can give them gifts during the holidays. How about giving a reward in the name of the emperor?”

"We don't want the shares or the name!"

The vast and endless motorcade naturally attracted the attention of the people in the capital.

"Chongba, you are really capable. If you use your eldest son and third son-in-law, you will use them both sooner or later." Empress Ma said angrily.

"It looks like we can have a good year this year."

The emperor would definitely be impeached by officials if he did business. As for giving gifts in the name of Queen Ma, it would be more appropriate.

"Of course I'm happy!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with great determination: "Okay, now that Ouyang Lun's matter has come to an end, we have to go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to handle government affairs."

"At first glance, you can see a convoy escorted by officers and soldiers. If you don't know better, you might think it's a triumphant military expedition!"

The dry shares of Guoli Trading Co., Ltd. are of no use at all. After all, all the money earned by Guoli Trading Co., Ltd. will be used for the Women and Children's Protection Association. If you just hold the dry shares without paying any money, it is better not to use them.

"No one has ever said that only Ouyang Lun can create this state-owned enterprise, right?"

Every day, convoys entered the capital under the escort of officers and soldiers.

"Does the sun come out from the west? You don't want it?" Queen Ma smiled and said, "Chongba, please finish your sentence quickly and tell me whatever you think."

"Ahem, we haven't thought about this yet. I'll tell you when I think about it!" After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang left quickly.

The capital is becoming more and more lively.

Forehead.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately let go of his hand, thought for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said: "Since Ouyang Lun gives you 60%, then we will give you 60% too! No more!"

"If the court has money, our people's lives will be much easier."

"But you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want. I say the same to you. If you need me to do anything, just ask!" Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

"Forget it, how could we be such a stingy person to rob our own wife? If this spreads out, others will say that Zhu Yuanzhang is stingy."

"I don't know, there are so many of them, we can't even count them all."

"Girls still understand us."

"This" Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to agree subconsciously, but then he thought of what Ouyang Lun said.

"We have thought about this matter. We plan to give the remaining 40% of the shares to Biao'er. Biao'er has learned business from Ouyang Lun before and will give it to his son. We can feel more at ease!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. .

The escort flags on the motorcades are different. A simple observation can reveal that these motorcades are all escorted by tax banks from various provinces and prefectures to the capital.

"How much do you think this costs!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was not someone who liked to suffer losses.

The new year is approaching.

"Chongba, let's talk first. I can't work in vain. You have to share my share of the work like Ouyang did! As for how much you share, it depends on your conscience. It can't be less than Ouyang, right?" Empress Ma said with a smile.

"It's not just a lot, it's almost doubled! I was there last year, and this fleet represents the tax revenue of a state capital. In previous years, most state capitals only had four or five vehicles, and there were no more than ten vehicles. Today, these fleets have at least There are ten cars!”

Twenty years of Hongwu.

"Sixty percent is fine, but who are you going to give the remaining 40% to? If you keep it yourself, once the news leaks out, officials will definitely protest, and then there will be a lot of trouble." Queen Ma asked.

"Sister, we knew you were the best!" With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hands to hug Queen Ma.

"Girl, we are thinking. Since Ouyang Lun can bring the trend of gift boxes, can we also bring a trend? When the time comes, we will also create a state-owned enterprise, and we will also make a lot of money!"

"Look, the convoys from the capitals of Sichuan Province are coming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Too much, really too much!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Chongba, your plans are very big!"

"Sister, you don't understand this. This is what I call training them!" Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly: "Biao'er is the heir we trained with our own hands. Look how good he is? Sometimes we all wish we could quit immediately. Let Biao'er take over directly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly.

"What's so interesting about Sichuan Province? It's the poorest every day. A few years ago, I remember that there were no more than ten cars in the entire province. The chief envoy of Sichuan Province still wore patchwork official uniforms."

Just when the people watching on both sides of the street were dismissive of the Sichuan Province's motorcade.

"Damn it! Are there so many fleets in Xichuan Province this year? And each fleet has more than ten vehicles!!"

"Is this fake? How could Sichuan Province collect so much tax money?"

The huge tax collection convoy of Sichuan Province immediately attracted the attention of people on both sides of the street, and people continued to come and watch.

"One, two, nine, ten, fifteen, sixteen. What is the origin of this Qianzhou Prefecture, that it actually has sixteen tax carriages?"

"Sixteen cars are not the most at all. There is another one called Wanzhoufu behind, which has twenty cars! Twenty cars! There were not so many in the entire Sichuan Province in the past, right?" "Who is this that Sichuan Province is poor? I don’t know! Their chief minister comes to the capital every year wearing patchwork clothes, is this a complete turnaround?”

The people on both sides of the street were talking a lot, and they were particularly curious about the changes in Sichuan Province.

Originally, there were no more than ten tax carriages in a province, but now there are more than ten in any state capital, and the tax carriages in one state capital reached a terrifying twenty taels! !

This made the people exclaim in astonishment.

At the moment, the convoy of Sichuan Province is led by a latest red flag carriage, and sitting in the carriage are Sichuan Province's Chief Envoy Wang Yan, Inspector He Fengnian and the former Wanxian County Magistrate who is now Wanzhou Prefecture. There are three people including the prefect, Ke Wenhao.

Wang Yan and Ke Wenhao both looked out the car window excitedly.

Seeing the people standing on the street, Wang Yan and Ke Wenhao couldn't stop laughing.

"Tsk, tsk, the people in the capital are so enthusiastic!" Ke Wenhao said with a smile.

"Haha, the people all know that we are here to send money to the court, so they are naturally happy." Wang Yan sighed: "In previous years, when our Sichuan province had only a few tax-paying carriages, you would see the faces of the people It’s all contempt!”

"You will even hear, 'It is a province after all, but it only pays so little tax.' 'Sichuan Province is too poor.' If my daughter dares to marry to Sichuan Province, I will interrupt her." Legs' wait for these words!"

"This" Ke Wenhao was a little dumbfounded.

"But this year, our Sichuan province is very different! These words no longer apply to us!" Wang Yan waved his hand, "Master Ke, open the car window!"

"Yes! Sir!" Ke Wenhao nodded, then reached out to open the windows on both sides of the carriage.

The voices of people talking on both sides of the street came in.

"Your Majesty the Chief Envoy, Your Excellency the Inspector General, the people are indeed praising us!" Ke Wenhao said very excitedly.

"Sichuan province can achieve such results this year, which is inseparable from the leadership of Ouyang Prince Consort!" He Fengnian, the inspector, sighed.

"Of course!" Wang Yan said firmly: "I have never admired anyone in my life, but Ouyang Prince Consort is definitely the person I admire and am most grateful to. If it weren't for Ouyang Prince Consort, Sichuan Province would never be what it is today. As a result, Prince Consort Ouyang has favored Sichuan Province this year. Not only has he favored various policies, but he has also sent you, Mr. He, to help! "

"When I see Ouyang's consort, I must express my gratitude!"

Wang Yan knows very well how poor Sichuan Province has been in the past. In the past, he always wore a patchwork official uniform to Beijing. It’s not that he didn’t have the money to wear the new official uniform, but he didn’t have the face. You need to know about Sichuan Travel More than 90% of the people in the province are wearing ripped clothes or even no clothes at all. Under such circumstances, as the chief envoy of Sichuan Province, how can he have the shame to wear a new official uniform!

Wang Yan even swore that if the people of Sichuan Province were not allowed to live a good life, he would always wear a torn official uniform.

But today, he, Wang Yan, put on a new official uniform, and he wore it dignifiedly. The reason is very simple. Now the people of Sichuan can wear new clothes! !
He just wants to tell everyone in the world that after today, the people of Sichuan Province have stood up and will no longer be synonymous with poverty and suffering!
In addition to the tax and bank fleets of Sichuan Province, the tax and bank fleets of other provinces also lined up and slowly entered the capital, one after another, entering the treasury controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

These days are the days for centralized accounting of Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue.

It is also the event that attracts the most attention to people all over the world.

Countless pairs of eyes are staring at the treasury and the Ministry of Revenue! All forces are using various methods to find out the final result.

Among them, people from the Huaixi Party are the most concerned.

At Li Shanchang's house, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Liang Guogong Lan Yu and other core members of the Huaixi Party gathered together. They were listening to their subordinates reporting relevant intelligence.

Li Shanchang and others were greatly surprised to hear that the number of tax fleets in various provinces this year was several times greater than last year, and that tax and bank vehicles were continuously entering the capital!
"Ouyang Lun has spent so much money this year, how come there is so much extra tax money?"

"Is there something wrong here?"

"I don't believe tax revenue will be that much higher this year anyway."

"Perhaps this is a suspicion set up by Ouyang Lun, deliberately using the number of tax collection vehicles to confuse the public. Maybe many tax collection vehicles here are empty!"

"It makes sense. This is an old trick of the Ministry of Finance."

"No matter how hard Ouyang Lun tries, the Ministry of Revenue will never dare to tamper with the tax books. If Ouyang Lun does this, there will be no need for us to do anything, and His Majesty will be the first to tolerate him!"

"So now we just need to find out the situation of the accounts department!"

"If Guo Huan was still here, we would have known the news very quickly. Now the household department is in the hands of Ouyang Lun, which makes us quite passive!"

Listening to the discussion of the nobles in Huaixi, Li Shanchang waved his hand.

Suddenly the hall became quiet.

"It is related to the survival of my descendants in Huaixi. We must find out how much the Ming Dynasty's taxes will be this year!"

"You go and arrange for people to inquire now. Whether it's bribery or bribery, you must find out as soon as possible!"

Li Shanchang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

All the nobles in Huaixi stood up, saluted, and then left one after another.

Household Department.

Since tax money keeps coming, the household department is very busy now.

Guo Zi received the chief envoys from various places in front of the Hubu Yamen, while another Hubu Minister was guarding the treasury and did not dare to show any neglect.

Other officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs are also performing their respective duties, and they are all very busy.

Ouyang Lun, the Minister of Household Affairs, was lying on a rocking chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he was humming a tune.

"You all have to calculate carefully. You have to calculate each account three times for me, and you have to cross-calculate it. Only after the sum is correct can you register it!"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

In the hall, except for the leisurely Ouyang Lun, there were all officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who were making calculations with their abacus.

Ouyang Lun opened his eyes and glanced at the busy hall of the Household Department, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it would be great if there was a computer. Enter the original data and a few calculation formulas, and you can get the results immediately. , but now you can only use an abacus. However, the abacus is the earliest calculator. Once used, it can even calculate nuclear weapons data. It must not be underestimated! "

"Ahem, sir, what is this computer? Is the beggar's chicken delicious?" Zhou Bao asked curiously from the side.

"Well, if we talk about deliciousness, beggar's chicken is still delicious. The computer is too hard and your teeth will be weak." Ouyang Lun explained.

"Is it too hard? That's such a pity, I still want to try it!" Zhou Bao said with regret.

"Then I'm afraid you won't have a chance in this life. Let's go to the next life!"
