Prince of Chaos

Chapter 231 Wanmin Umbrella

What happened next was even weirder.I thought Zhang Cheng, Wang Jin, and Li Dexian's memorial was about to poke a big hole.The British public suddenly stood up, and the British public Zhang Yuande went to the palace with his sick body, and swore in front of Emperor Wanli that the British public had received the emperor's favor for generations, and these taxes should also be paid by the British public.And, don't wait until next year, pay it this month!
Emperor Wanli was very moved, so he rewarded Zhang Yuande with many gifts, such as herbal tea and bread.

However, this is not the end.Then, Shenshihang's silk and satin shop in Wanli Street also put up a sign, expressing its support for the tax system reform of Wanli Street.

Now, the civil servants who were originally raging in the public opinion will shut up strangely.

They felt as if the wind was about to change.

At this time, Ding Guogong Cheng Guogong and other noble families at home also began to appeal to Emperor Wanli to express their support for the tax reform of Wanli Street.

At the same time, Xu Guo asked his son to imitate the behavior of Shenshi experts, and let his family's shop in Wanli Street also hang a sign supporting tax reform.

At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, he knows that there is an invisible general trend that is pushing this matter forward.

As a result, those officials who had been extremely stubborn began to quietly shut their mouths.Moreover, people whose families have shops on Wanli Street also began to put up signs in front of their shops to express their support for the reform of the tax system on Wanli Street.

For a moment, the public opinion inside and outside the capital instantly reversed, and everyone clearly supported the tax reform in Wanli Street.

After seeing this scene, Emperor Wanli was too excited.

"Chang Luo, what do you think we are taking advantage of the situation to collect all the business taxes in the whole country?"

Zhu Changluo, who was pushing a wheelchair behind Emperor Wanli, was taken aback by Emperor Wanli's words.

Zhu Changluo immediately said: "Father, you can't do it too hastily. Now that they can honestly pay the commercial tax of Wanli Street, it is because their interests are tied to Wanli Street, because they can still be in Wanli Street. Street earns money, so they are honest and obedient. However, after leaving Wanli Street, we can no longer control them. At this time, it will be more difficult to collect taxes."

After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli took a sip of the fairy happy water.I burped, but still felt comfortable with the bubbles of the fairy happy water.

"Okay then, you can do it as you see fit. I really didn't expect the business tax to come in so quickly. Emperor Taizu should have charged more heavily."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "Father, although the Emperor Taizu didn't set high taxes, he was too cruel to businessmen. For big businessmen like Shen Wansan, the Emperor Taizu often ransacked their homes."

Emperor Wanli's eyes also lit up, "Why don't we also seize the family of a big businessman?"

Zhu Changluo really wanted to knock on Emperor Wanli's head to see if he really fell into Qian's eyes. How can you say that money is inseparable from two words?

Zhu Changluo hurriedly stopped him, "I can't do this, my father. Collecting business tax is a long-term trickle, and raiding a house is like killing chickens to get eggs. Now we can already collect business tax on Wanli Street. When we build Wanli Street bigger, we can attract more people. After rich people and big businessmen settle in, we can naturally take the initiative, and how we want to collect taxes is not up to us.”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "That makes sense, but how long will it take?"

Zhu Changluo said: "I don't know, but I believe that this day should come soon."

Emperor Wanli took another sip of the Immortal Happy Water and said, "Okay, you did this, you can figure it out. I'll save money for you."

Zhu Changluo said to Emperor Wanli, "Thank you, Father."

Then, Emperor Wanli suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, what are you thinking about asking you to go to the cabinet to listen to politics?"

When Zhu Changluo heard that Emperor Wanli mentioned this matter again, Zhu Changluo scratched his head and said, "Father, my son is still young."

Emperor Wanli said: "Small? We are all married, and we are still young. I was enthroned at the age of nine, and you are almost 16 now, so you should share your worries with your father."

Zhu Changluo felt warm when he heard Emperor Wanli's accusation.After the loss of Concubine Zheng, since he replaced Concubine Zheng in Emperor Wanli's heart, Emperor Wanli's love for him can be said to be obedient, as long as Zhu Changluo wants to do, Emperor Wanli will support him.

Based on this alone, Zhu Changluo was ashamed to continue feeding Emperor Wanli with a lot of sweets. He even felt that sometimes it was nice to have Emperor Wanli around.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, if my son doesn't go to the cabinet, he just wants to spend more time with you. If the son goes to the cabinet to listen to the government, he will have less company with the father. After a long time, the father will be lonely, what should the son do?" ?”

Emperor Wanli said: "You don't need to worry about this. Without you, don't you still have your mother and Xuanyuan? They will also come to accompany me. As the crown prince, it is also very important for you to learn some ways of governing the country. How about it , after the new year, you go to the cabinet to listen to politics. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Zhu Changluo had no choice but to reply: "Everything is under Father's command."

Emperor Wanli said: "You are obedient. After the cabinet listens to the government, you can come here to accompany me when you are free."

Zhu Changluo said: "Yes."

At this moment, Chen Ju walked quickly from the side.

Chen Ju said to Emperor Wanli with a happy face: "My lord, I'm so happy! The people on the west mountain are now beating gongs and drums in groups and holding Wanmin umbrellas to thank the emperor for his grace."

When Emperor Wanli heard Chen Ju's words, Emperor Wanli became emotional immediately.

"is that true?"

Chen Ju affirmed: "It's absolutely true!"

Emperor Wanli clapped his hands excitedly, and said, "What should I do?"

Chen Ju was stunned by this question. This was the first time that such a situation had happened. The previous emperors had never accepted the Wanmin umbrellas presented by the common people, so the etiquette process was really a bit uncertain.

Seeing Chen Ju's appearance, Zhu Changluo guessed what was going on, so Zhu Changluo also planned to disgust the cabinet and pull them in.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, if you don't do this, please ask the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to see what they think. Is there any ancient system to find?"

Emperor Wanli said: "Okay, I will make an order now."

Then, Chen Ju took the order of Emperor Wanli and went straight to the cabinet.

After the elders of the cabinet received the order of Emperor Wanli, they also looked down on them with big eyes. This situation has never been seen before.There is no mention of these things in ancient books.

Now, it happened suddenly, and I was really at a loss.

Wang Xijue had no choice but to say: "Go and find Fan Qian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites."

At this time, I can only throw the blame like this, otherwise I will lose my etiquette later, so should he do it as a cabinet minister?
