The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 736 Building a Golden Temple

Shunshun came here this time because he received a letter from Shen Mumian, asking to send Yu'er home.

"Yu'er really has a different identity?"

Shen Mumian felt that the girl was different before, but later deduced from her two words that this Yu'er's status should not be low, and she was in Fucheng, thinking that she might be able to help Li Chenxuan draw an ally, so she sent a letter passed.

"Indeed, the last time we came to Shenjiazhuang, we felt that this girl looked a bit like General Lu, the general of the Southwest Garrison, so we went back to check and found that General Lu's daughter was lost in the first month of last year. If it is true, this Yu'er should be Yes."

"Yo? Didn't expect this girl to have such a high status?"

"Yes, if this is true, General Lu owes us a favor. It is said that this girl is more favored than her brother at home."

"That's great. She's in town right now. I think I've brought people to town when you come back."

After solving Yu'er's matter, Shen Mumian's focus was on the taxation again.

"What the hell is going on? How did you change the business tax properly? And there are two people here?"

Shun Shun glanced outside, Shen Mumian saw this, and went to the backyard.

"The green tree is guarding the door."

"Ugh!"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"A while ago, didn't you say that the imperial court wanted to pray for the golden platform? Who knew that the golden platform had just started to be built, and the national teacher said that a golden platform would not be able to suppress the evil spirits that disturbed the country's fortunes, and that a golden temple was to be built. If the department couldn’t get it out, I turned my idea to commercial taxation.”

The original commercial tax was ten taels of silver for a shop. Now it is based on the income, which is beneficial to shops that make less money, but not to gold shops and silver shops. If a gold shop earns 3 taels a year, then the tax The tax that goes up has to be 3000 taels, and the difference between [-] and [-] is several times.

"Is there no one in the court to resist?"

"Naturally there were people who resisted. The Prime Minister was the first one to disagree, but this time the sage was determined to change the tax again, and he was afraid that the local magistrate and the ministers of the DPRK and China would collude to tamper with the business tax, so he selected someone from the DPRK. Go to various prefectures to collect taxes. This Chengshan King was sent to our Chuanyu Mansion, and these two stewards are considered Chengshan King's cronies."

"I see."

But this tax excuse is really ridiculous.

"This County Magistrate Lu is probably doing nothing this time, thinking that he can get King Chengshan, otherwise he would not dare to bring people to your shop. When he came to take office earlier, the adults have already explained to him. But he didn't even Ma Qu and the others didn't stop them from forging or forging the holy will, they really thought that the adults were vegetarians. This matter can be big or small, if it is involved, King Chengshan can't eat it and walk around."

"What about this matter, let your adults figure it out for themselves. But anyway, I haven't suffered any losses here. If I can sell the other party's face, I don't need to report it. There is only Dongyang. At this time, one more thing is worse than one less thing. .”

Shen Mumian was worried that if the report was made this time, if King Chengshan was punished, it would be inevitable that he would retaliate against Li Chenxuan in the future. Many things were left unchecked, and if Shen Lanfeng was found...

"Yes, I will pass on your concerns to your lord."

After saying something good, Shun Shun just had a simple meal here, and then someone brought Yu'er here, and she was about to leave.

"Auntie, this is my present for Leopard and Xinxin. They are going to school, please help me give them."
