Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 251 We Are All Voluntary

Does Zhang Heling's own nephew of the prince understand?Of course I understand, although I don’t understand all of them, but I also understand to a certain extent.For example, he said, why not be greedy for money, but Zhang Heling knew that when his prince and nephew made money from him, he would not be soft at all, and he would be ruthless!
Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhu Houzhao also felt that it was almost the same, so he said with a smile: "It's actually quite simple."

The more Zhu Houzhao said lightly, the more Zhang Heling felt that this matter was not simple, and it was definitely the kind of digging a hole to bury himself.

"The imperial court has its own difficulties, and everyone knows these years, that is, the tax is insufficient, but it cannot be increased, otherwise there will be trouble." Zhu Houzhao sighed helplessly when he said this: "But the country is so big. There are so many places to spend money, you have to find a suitable source of income, don’t you think?”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Heling nodded, but the expression on his face became more dignified, tax?When it comes to taxes, there is no small matter.

Zhu Houzhao felt that the fire was almost ready, so he said directly: "Some time ago, a minister submitted a memorial and felt that the court could levy some taxes that were not levied before, such as Zhuangtian. After thinking about it, I think it is not appropriate. After all, Zhuangtian belongs to the court. Rewards, how can tax be collected? If it is really collected, wouldn’t it be criticized by others? Uncle, don’t you think so? But the lack of use in this country is also a problem.”

"Bengong has been thinking these days, is there any way to get the best of both worlds? It may be that I have a shallow mind, and I have never thought of a good way."

"Uncle, you are clever and flexible. This is something that everyone in the court knows. I just want to ask uncle what he thinks. I don't know what uncle thinks about this matter?"

What do you think?I just want to stand far away and put my hands in my hands to watch. Although Zhang Heling has no expression on his face, his heart is already broken. If you fall in, don't even think about climbing out, just lie on the pit and wait for it to be buried alive.

Zhuangtian collects taxes, this is not a joke, it has been mentioned before, and it was proposed by civil servants, but how dare the emperor agree?Look at the meaning of yourself as the prince's nephew, where is it and ask yourself what it means.

This is very obvious. This is to let myself initiate it, and at the same time bring together those nobles who I have allied with to express their views. These people are willing to pay taxes to Zhuangtian for the country and the people. This is not forced by His Majesty. This is our own willingness. , and it is a very positive willingness, the kind that the emperor can't stop, if you stop me, then I will be killed.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty could not just watch us crash to death, so he could only reluctantly accept it. Look, how perfect things are, and the monarch and his ministers are in harmony.

But Zhang Heling also knew that those nobles would be willing?Stop making trouble, don't talk about other people, how much farmland is in your home?There are indeed not many on the surface, but how much land has my family acquired in the past few years?Those are all stolen and bought, and all of them have to be taxed. Of course, it must not cost 20 taels a year.

But he didn't do this. If he advocated it, those nobles would hate him to death?At that time, instead of his status plummeting, he would directly become a traitor to the nobles and relatives.

The popularity and status accumulated before were all exhausted, and they returned to their original form overnight, and they were even worse than before. Thinking of this, Zhang Heling was about to cry.

He raised his head and glanced at his prince's nephew, only to see him sitting there with a look of indifference, holding a teacup in his hand and taking a sip from time to time, looking very leisurely.Zhang Heling knew that he, the prince's nephew, was determined to eat himself.Obviously, this matter was planned by his prince and nephew, Zhang Heling couldn't help thinking of something that made him feel cold all over.

Didn't His Royal Highness plan for today a few years ago?The more Zhang Heling thought about it, the more this happened, and suddenly a chill rushed from his heels to Tianling Gai.

After this kind of thought came into being, Zhang Heling felt that this was the more he thought about it. You must know that you, the prince's nephew, were not welcome to see yourself before, and lost your temper because of your meddling in the salt administration.But later, he started to support himself, and let himself continue to praise himself, I am afraid that at that time, he would have the idea of ​​using himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heling didn't know what kind of mood he was in, it was very complicated, and he also wanted to understand one thing, that is, he couldn't escape.

Since you, the prince's nephew, are eyeing you, and you let yourself do this, then you have to do it, and there is no room for bargaining.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Heling finally made up his mind, made up his mind, and said directly: "His Royal Highness, I think this is not a big deal!"

Hearing Zhang Heling's words, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Zhang Heling expectantly, and praised: "As expected of an uncle, everyone in the court called you Jibian Wushuang, and the response was really different. Tell me quickly, Let Ben Gong listen to it."

Not to mention other things, my prince's nephew is really top-notch in acting, and I can't see the traces of acting at all, but Zhang Heling only dares to slander in his heart, that is absolutely dare not say it, try hard to make yourself laugh naturally Some, Zhang Heling said: "The nobles are also dedicated to the country."

"Let's not talk about Zhuangtian paying taxes, destroying the family and relieving difficulties is no problem. The minister is willing to initiate and contact some nobles and relatives. I think they will also strongly agree. When the time comes, we will write a letter together to ask His Majesty, and His Majesty will not think about it." Cut off our desire to serve the country."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "Can you and your relatives be willing to do this?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, they are willing!" Zhang Heling didn't even think about it, although his heart was bleeding, but his face still showed a look of dedication.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Houzhao nodded, but he still asked: "Then I will leave this matter to you, but there is one thing, you can't force it, you must be voluntary, if the palace and the emperor hear you force them, Then neither this palace nor my father will agree, you have to understand it with reason and move it with emotion, do you understand?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand!" Zhang Heling agreed with a smile, but he knew in his heart that if someone volunteered for this matter, there would be ghosts. He didn't do it voluntarily, but did he dare to say it?
What's the point of using reason to move emotion? If anyone refuses to agree, then they will still have their share in the next call for the saltworks?Besides, are you really not afraid of offending the crown prince and His Majesty?Anyway, Zhang Heling was afraid.
